Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 535
Yuan Gai Su Wen watched the blizzard start to blow in the sky, although the environment outside was harsh, Yuan Gai Su Wen felt a lot more relaxed.

As the Great Wall defense line was taken down by Datang, and the Gao clan's military power in Goguryeo was swept away by Datang, Yuan Gai Suwen knew that Datang had already grabbed Goguryeo's throat with one hand.

The confrontation on the Yalu River is not so much a deterrent to the Tang army, it is more accurate to say that it is for the inside of Goguryeo.

Yuan Gai Suwen knew very well that it was impossible for the Yalu River to withstand the Tang army, because the Datang fleet could attack Goguryeo's defense system from the east at any time.

Therefore, rather than saying that the line of defense of the Yalu River intercepted Tang Jun, it is better to say that because of the cold winter, Tang Jun chose to consolidate and rest, and had no intention of advancing aggressively at all.

This steady but step-by-step rhythm is what Yuan Gai Suwen is most desperate for. He is not afraid of Tang Jun's desperate charge.

Because as long as Tang Jun attacks, his weaknesses will definitely be exposed, and he at least has the possibility of fighting.

But after Tang Jun completed his tactics, he resolutely rested like a mountain, and then in order to prevent himself from being able to dispatch his soldiers with peace of mind, he dispatched a disgusting fleet to station near Pyongyang.

Even if this army has no desire to attack at all, but with such an army here, any military dispatch must take this army's reaction into consideration.

More importantly, I wanted to relocate Goguryeo officials and gentry to other places and establish another political stronghold in other places, but it seemed so unrealistic when this army was nailed here.

However, the only thing to be thankful for is the blizzard that comes with the winter.

It is also due to the existence of blizzards, whether it is ice on the coast that makes it difficult for the Tang army's fleet to dock, or the Tang army in the north dare not move easily, for Yuan Gai Suwen, at least he can sleep peacefully this winter.

"Father!" Boy Yuan came to Yuan Gai Suwen and saluted, "The craftsmen have already gathered to manufacture Thunderbolt cars. By next spring, they should be able to accumulate a hundred Thunderbolt cars."

"Next year spring?" Yuan Gai Suwen shook his head when he heard what the boy Yuan said, "Let the craftsmen speed up the progress, and at the most they will start work until the Spring Festival.

At that time, Tang Jun's vigilance will definitely be relaxed a little bit, and even if they are smashed with a thunderbolt car, they will be driven into the water again.

If they continue to stay here, there is no way for us to move the capital! "

"Spring Festival... such a big snowstorm, some materials can't be brought in!" Boy Yuan couldn't help worrying.

"Then directly demolish the houses in the city!" Yuan Gai Suwen said, "Now is the most dangerous time for Goguryeo. Although I know that this will suffer the people, but for the final victory of Goguryeo, I can only suffer them more. Already!"

"No!" Boy Yuan's face changed when he heard Yuan Gai Suwen's words, but he didn't say much.

To tell the truth, since the Great Wall defense line could not be defended, and the entire naval army of Goguryeo was wiped out, Yuangai Suwen gave up the idea of ​​living and dying with Pyongyang, and planned to abandon Pyongyang and flee to the mountains in the northwest.

But it doesn't make sense for him to run away, and it doesn't even make sense for him to run away with his own army.

He wants the entire Goguryeo regime to survive, so it is not enough for him to go alone.

He needs to take the civil and military officials of Goguryeo with the wealthy family, and even if possible, even the people of Pyongyang have to evacuate.

Otherwise, the Tang army occupied Pyongyang and declared that Goguryeo would be destroyed. As long as it gave an order casually, he might be backstabbed and killed by his own soldiers who had lost his righteousness.

Therefore, Yuan Gai Suwen knew very well that even if he wanted to survive, it was impossible for him to have such a stupid idea of ​​abandoning his power, abandoning his army, and fleeing to some deep mountains and old forests.

The only way for him to survive is to flee with everyone, to the northwestern mountainous area of ​​Goguryeo, to avoid the crusade by the Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, it is not the first time that Goguryeo has faced such an almost unrivaled power.

More or less, they are hoping to block Datang from the elite areas of the country, so try to block it as much as possible, and if it can't be done, then decisively find a way to hang on.

Normally, the royal family would not have such considerations. At least before the enemy army reached the city, they more or less had the idea of ​​wanting to resist forcefully.

However, Yuan Gai Su Wen is a minister of power, not the Gao family. Although he is also from the noble family of Goguryeo, Yuan Gai Su Wen believes in the power politics in his hands more, and he is more pragmatic.

Under such circumstances, Yuangai Suwen paid more attention to the stability and preservation of the rights in his hands, and the dignity of the Goguryeo country related to it was really nothing.

Moreover, the Treasure King who was erected by himself wished that he could make a choice for him.

As this policy was tacitly unified at the top, then naturally Su Lie, the army stationed next to Pyongyang, would naturally become a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, and it must be pulled out, so that everyone can let go of their hands and feet and withdraw decisively!
Of course, when Yuan Gai Suwen was planning for Su Lie, Su Lie looked at the blizzard in the sky, showed some relief, and said, "The time we have been waiting for has come!"

"I'll take the lead," Li Dejian stood up and said, "The strength of the academy soldiers needs to be used to transport the dismantled engineering equipment.

As for your power needing to be used in Pyongyang City, although I don't really want to admit it, it is still quite difficult for Yuan Gaisuwen to deal with.

The unexpected attack, I think it should be able to take down Pyongyang City, but I don’t know if it will work if I want to take down Yuangai Suwen! "

"After you've dealt with your opponent, catch up early!" Su Lie nodded when he heard Li Dejian's words.

In order to guard against Su Lie, Yuan Gai Suwen arranged a defensive force here.

With the help of the defensive facilities they built, these forces do not mean that they can withstand the attack of the Tang army, but at least they can light the beacon fire when the Tang army attacks, and then report to the Pyongyang army.

And leaving the camp to guard, even if it is the Tang army, facing the Goguryeo troops is actually a bit tricky.

But Su Lie understood that this time he wanted to use the snowstorm to fight fast, so he directly handed over to Li Dejian to clean up this force, and he and Tian Changgeng stepped on the skis and rushed directly to Pyongyang.

Whether it is the timing of the action or the speed of the action, they basically far exceeded Yuan Gai Suwen's expectations.

Hearing Su Lie's words, Li Dejian smiled calmly and said, "Don't underestimate me, I am the son of Duke Wei!"

Li Dejian didn't talk too much, and led the troops who had been pinched by Su Lie's talent, directly skating in the wind and snow, rushing towards the defense line set up by Goguryeo!
In this snowy and blizzard night, Goguryeo's soldiers huddled in the guard post instead of standing guard honestly.

It's not that the sentries among these sentries don't do their best, but that the food provided by Goguryeo's logistics is really limited. Even the winter coats that allow Goguryeo soldiers to rotate in the snow are still a team, and only those in charge of patrol can wear them. Tang Jun has not even released the scouts, they have already slack off.

What's more worth mentioning is that the time when Tang Jun launched the attack was around three o'clock, and the sky was still dark.

Although Goguryeo's soldiers are not all blindfolded, they are blind when it gets dark, but now there is a blizzard outside!

Would the soldiers still stare at the dark night outside with their eyes wide open?Don't they feel uncomfortable when their eyes are blown by the wind?
All in all, when Li Dejian led the troops to touch it, most of the Koguryo soldiers in the guard post were still sleeping soundly.

After all, no one sleeps in the house in such a cold weather. Doing other things consumes energy, and there is no supply for logistics, so it is better to sleep comfortably.

But Li Dejian would not be polite. He personally led the soldiers directly into the sentry post, pushed to the fence at the door, slaughtered the soldiers stationed there, then turned his head and shouted, "Leave this to me, you go first!"

Su Lie and Tian Changgeng nodded, and the soldiers quickly shuttled towards Pyongyang on skates in the wind and snow.

And Li Dejian was responsible for staying to clean up the surrounding Goguryeo strongholds.

Li Dejian understood that he had worked hard, and even if he really captured Pyongyang, his direct achievements might not be that high.

But these hard jobs in the war need to be done by someone after all. Although Su Lie seems to be the person who designates all the tactics, even Li Dejian is very cooperative with Su Lie, but Li Dejian is the clear leader of this army.

It's just that if it's sea tactics, Li Dejian can still take charge of it himself, but if Li Dejian is good at land warfare, he won't choose to develop in the navy.

Moreover, because Li Dejian's father was Li Jing, even if Li Dejian destroyed Goguryeo with his own hands, the greatest significance for Li Dejian was to allow him to successfully inherit the title of Duke of Wei.

Of course, he could also earn a title for his son, but to be honest, Li Dejian really didn't care much.

It's better to let Su Lie stand out, so that the future of the Li family can be more stable.

Therefore, Li Dejian took the initiative to wipe out these Goguryeo guards and sentries stationed near the Tang army camp.

As for the Goguryeo army wanting to compete with Li Dejian, they first need to face the head-on fight of the top White Scourge Army, which is not inferior to the top three talents under the blessing of the blizzard.

Even if Li Dejian is not very good at commanding, he still has the ability to command the soldiers to push forward.

And the White Calamity Legion in the snowstorm has inhuman power that can overwhelm everything.

At this time, Su Lie and Tian Changgeng arrived at the city of Pyongyang without any delay. It can be said that Pyongyang's defensive strength is much stronger than those of the guard posts surrounding the Tang army.

At this moment, not only are torches lit on the walls of Pyongyang, but braziers and lamps are also lit at the city gates below Pyongyang.

At least it is almost impossible to deal with those sentries who grope in the dark night and then attack and kill them.

Especially with the freezing weather, the surrounding environment of Goguryeo became more and more harsh. A large number of people curled up in the shadow of the corner of Pyongyang city wall, just like those people who curled up in the corner of Chang'an city wall because of the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan.

And the relatively strict defenders of Pyongyang City are more appropriate to guard against these people than to guard against Su Lie's sudden attack.

"Let's build that all-steel car! Whether you can capture Pyongyang is up to you!" Su Lie said, looking at Tian Changgeng.

"It's already being built, and it will be built within half a quarter of an hour!" Tian Changgeng said confidently.

Of course, apart from the steel ram as the secret weapon he relied on the most, the army still brought simple climbing tools such as ladders and claws. In any case, Su Lie's goal was to forcibly capture the city tonight.

The car was built quickly, and even the car was modified to a certain extent by Tian Changgeng's centurion.

To be precise, the steel car was originally supported as a huge tire, but everyone added a crossbar that could slide on the front of the snow, increasing its friction when walking on the snow.

At least this thing is more reliable than tires for walking in the snow. After all, the tires of this era are at most wooden giant wheels, and it is easy to get stuck in the snow!
Soon, the yawning soldiers on Pyongyang City carefully stared at the surrounding walls.

Because the walls in this era are not all upright and smooth tiles or bricks, but more of them are built of soil embryos such as triadic clay.

Therefore, the surface of the wall is more or less uneven, and among the refugees, some even tried to climb into the city of Pyongyang with the help of the uneven surface of the city wall. After being discovered, they were thrown directly from the city wall and fell to their deaths. .

Although this kind of thing has warned the people not to mess around, no one can guarantee whether the people will continue to stay.

But it also caused the guards in Pyongyang to be severely scolded, and ordered that if anyone climbed the city wall and shot arrows directly, the people would be shot down.

This is why these guards in Pyongyang City did not dare to be careless at all, but today, in this cold and windy snowstorm, a guard in the darkness looked in the darkness but some shadows seemed to be surging.

"So is there something coming towards Pyongyang?!" The Pyongyang city guard asked in a daze.

"What are you talking about, such a big snowstorm, how could it be..."

The guard hadn't finished speaking yet, he looked along the outstretched arm of his teammate.

The lingering steel and metal car pierced through the darkness, and rushed towards the gate of Goguryeo uncontrollably!

"Left to the left, right to the right! Yes, that's it, go straight forward! Yes! Yes! Yes! Hit!"

The centurion Zhang Long was in charge of observing the sprinting position of the car, and even commanded Fang Qiu in the car!
With a loud noise, the steel car slammed into the gate of Goguryeo with unstoppable friction.

In the next second, the entire city gate was slammed down by the speeding car, and even the car itself rushed into the city of Pyongyang!
For a moment, the entire battlefield was eerily quiet, even Zhang Long and the others who were in charge of charging the car suffered a concussion at least.

"It's no wonder that it is an engineering device researched by King Wei!" Su Lie came back to his senses immediately, and shouted loudly, "Kill!"
