Chapter 317: Invading Daxingcheng
"Leave four people at the city gate, listen to the movement above, and be ready to open the city gate at any time and ask the marquis to bring troops in." Gao Jun ordered: "You four are left below, and the rest follow me and take action!"
With Gao Jun's order, except for the four people he assigned to stay below, the remaining people followed Gao Jun and touched the city wall.
It was late at night and the guards on the city wall had a rotation, but they were always distracted when on duty at night. They gathered together in groups of three or three to chat, and occasionally looked out. There was nothing unusual outside, so they felt relieved.
In the evening, the troops suddenly increased on the city wall, which made the soldiers who were originally stationed in the city wall feel that something was going to happen. However, after so long, there was no movement outside, so naturally they relaxed.
Gao Jun and his men touched the west side of the city wall. When they saw the patrol soldiers walking here, they rushed up and wiped his neck.
"Who!"
One died, but it alarmed the guards around. There were torches on the city walls for lighting. When the torches shook to Gao Jun, they saw more than a dozen dark figures.
"Do it quickly!" Gao Jun shouted in a low voice.
More than a dozen people rushed towards the Goguryeo soldiers on the top of the city like arrows, launching a unilateral massacre.
This situation is only temporary. The city wall here caused such a big noise, and the other side also reacted, quickly lit the fire and sent a signal to the military camp. People there also came to reinforce this side with weapons.
"Open the city gate!!" Gao Jun shouted loudly on the city walls and mountains.
One advantage is that the city walls are all Goguryeo guards, and they cannot understand what Gao Jun said, so even after Gao Jun shouted that the people below would open the city gate, no one would go down to stop the four people below.
However, the military camp has begun to send more personnel to the city wall.
The city gate was slowly opened, and there was a fire on the city wall, and the two sides fought together.
Xuan Shijing was outside the city with his soldiers, hiding under the dark sky.
Hearing the movement from the city wall, he looked at the city gate. Sure enough, the city gate had been slowly opened.
"Everyone! Fight!" Xuan Shijing waved his hand, and the soldiers following him immediately pulled out their weapons and rushed towards Daxing City.
The people in front rushed over, and the Goguryeo soldiers behind also charged forward. The city gate was opened and they all saw it.
Xuan Shijing took the lead and rushed into Daxing City with a long sword. Chang Le followed Xuan Shijing, protecting Xuan Shijing and rushed into Daxing City, but he happened to face the people who came to support the city wall. The two sides rushed together and started a fierce tug-of-war in the city gate.
Gao Jun and others came down from the city wall and joined the battle.
The city gate has been opened, and they will only increase casualties if they stay on the city wall. What they have to do now is to rush into Daxing City with the army and take down Daxing City.
The ones following Xuan Shijing were all elites. In the narrow space of the city gate, the number of people on both sides was equal, but they were defeated step by step.
After leaving the city gate, all the Goguryeo soldiers behind him were charged in.
For Xuan Shijing, this is a prepared battle, and for the people in Daxing City, this war does not give them any time to prepare for this war.
This is the battlefield. The enemy will never tell you their actions. The army in Daxing City will be defeated by being unprepared.
After entering Daxing City, Xuan Shijing led his troops to occupy the entire Daxing City in one go. Such a change occurred in the city, and ordinary people closed their doors, fearing that they would cause trouble. For a moment, there were only soldiers fighting between two armies on the streets of the city, and no more people.
During the war, Xuan Shijing took Gao Jun and Chang Le and his guards to find Gao Huanquan. At this moment, Gao Huanquan was also protected by several of his personal soldiers.
"Your Highness, this city is full of Goguryeo people. If you climb the high place and call, they might turn against each other. It is better than fighting now!" Xuan Shijing said loudly.
"But...but, they won't listen to me." Gao Huanquan responded.
"How can I know if I don't try it!" Xuan Shijing shouted.
It’s time for this, and Gao Huanquan is still a coward. He is really unable to support the mud. After so many years of experience, he has lived to be a dog.
When the two deputy generals who were originally stationed in the city saw such a change, they hurriedly put on the battlefield and sent their guards out from another city gate to head towards Pyongyang City. They looked for the army of Quanbo along the way and asked Quanbo to lead troops to support him quickly.
Now the boy from Quan should not be far from Daxing City. There are more than 20,000 people in the city. As long as you can persist until the boy from Quan arrives, that's easy to say.
Daxing City is now a barrier to the north of Goguryeo. It cannot be lost or lost. Once Daxing City is lost, it will be occupied by the Tang army. Then, from Daxing City to Pyongyang City, you can reach the foot of Pyongyang City in just over a month.
Daxing City was lost, and no matter what, there was no way out for them.
As for surrender, the two of them had never thought that they could be appointed by Quan Gai Suwen to lead troops in Daxing City, and his family had long been taken to Pyongyang City.
If they die in the battlefield, their family can still end up well. If they surrender, their wives, children and children in Pyongyang City will be in great trouble.
From the other side of Daxing City, one person and one riding, leaving behind the dust.
At this time, Xuan Shijing didn't care about the person who sent the message. The stalemate situation in front of him gave him a headache.
If you continue to fight like this, 30,000 to 20,000. Although there is a gap of 10,000 people, after the fight, how many people can survive here? Don’t forget that there is a spring boy not here not far from Daxing City.
With 30,000 troops entering Daxing City through one city gate, he naturally didn't care about other city gates. If a spy went out to send messages, Xuan Shijing would be powerless even if he knew about it.
Time is getting more and more urgent, while the defenders in Daxing City are still very tenacious to resist.
"Chang Le, Gao Jun, find out their commander and capture the king first. If this continues, the thief will bring you 30,000 people in this city." Xuan Shijing said while wielding his sword to kill the enemy.
"But you, Marquis..." Chang Le hesitated.
He and Gao Jun are both Xuan Shijing's guards, and they are responsible for protecting Xuan Shijing's safety. Before leaving in Chang'an, the old lady and the princess told him to protect the safety of the marquis. Now that he and Gao Jun leave, who will protect the safety of the marquis?
"Changle, go! I'm by the marquis' side!" Gao Jun said.
Chang Le nodded and rushed out with a knife.
"Gao Jun, you go too, I have nothing to do here." Xuan Shijing said.
