The generals could not resist the high-spirited Majesty Li Er, but they thought that the East City was broken and all the Goguryeo troops were tired of defense and could not rush outside the city, so they followed him. A group of people surrounded His Majesty Li Er and rode on
The war horses came to a stone's throw outside the east city to take a look at the battle situation.
Standing outside the city, the soldiers around him surged up like a tide. Gunpowder blew up a huge gap in the city wall. Stones were piled up in a mess. The soldiers of the Tang army climbed up the stone piles in an attempt to rush into the city. The Goguryeo defenders ignored the casualties.
Try your best to block it.
The fighting shook the sky, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the cruelty of the war can be seen from this.
The huge gap in the city wall was like the mouth of a huge monster, constantly devouring soldiers on both sides, and it was as cruel as hell.
However, without the support of the city wall, the Tang army's advantages in terms of number of troops and quality of soldiers came into play, and gradually the battlefield advantage was lost. Although the Goguryeo army resisted desperately, it was still difficult to withstand the Tang army's sharp swords and the thunderous explosions from time to time.
Lei was suppressed by the Tang army bit by bit, and the battle line slowly retreated.
Finally, with the support of Zhou Daowu and other ministries, the Tang army broke through the defense line of the Goguryeo army and completely occupied the collapsed section of the city wall.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The horn sounded, and countless Tang troops rushed in frantically along the gap and entered the city.
Li Ji said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the city is broken!"
Previously, they could only attack the city head, and they might be beaten back by the Goguryeo defenders at any time, but now they have broken through the defense line and entered the city, which means that the strong city wall can no longer stop the Tang army's attack, because the army that invades the city will be the first to attack.
In time, he divided his troops to capture various city gates, attacked from both inside and outside, and annihilated all the defenders on the city.
So all that's left is street fighting.
Without the defensive advantage of the city wall, how could Goguryeo resist the Tang army in street fighting?
At this point, although the remaining enemy troops could not be cleared, Anshi City had fallen into the hands of the Tang army. This fortified city that stood on the road of the Tang army's conquest of Liaodong was finally captured.
His Majesty Li Er was so excited that his eyes widened and his face turned red.
The capture of Anshi City meant that Goguryeo's last stronghold in Liaodong was completely removed. Even if Pingrang City could not be captured in the end, the four former Han counties would still be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This achievement was enough to overwhelm the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
Moreover, the Goguryeo army in the entire Liaodong area was ready to be wiped out, so the army could naturally reorganize and then cross the Yalu River across the board to launch the final attack on Pingrang City.
The purpose of this battle has been half achieved.
So, what does it matter if there are more casualties?
The more His Majesty Li Er thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that the Emperors of Qin and Han were far behind him, let alone Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and his son, they were not worthy of carrying shoes for him!
He drew out his sword with a "clang" sound and shouted excitedly: "Generals, follow me into the city to kill the enemy!"
As soon as he clamped his horse's belly, he was about to rush into the city with the soldiers gathering from all directions.
The surrounding generals were stunned at first, and then were so frightened that Li Ji jumped off his horse, grabbed the reins of His Majesty Li Er's horse two steps forward, and said in shock: "Your Majesty, you can't do this.
!”
The war horse was about to run wildly when it was suddenly reined in. It neighed "Herod" in dissatisfaction and twisted around in a circle, paving the ground with its four hooves.
His Majesty Li Er was almost thrown off his horse. He finally managed to stabilize himself and shouted angrily: "Maogong, let go!"
How dare Li Ji let go?
Ku persuaded: "Your Majesty, the city is in chaos. The enemy troops will definitely defend the city. They need to clear out the streets and alleys. If there are enemy troops hiding in the dark and firing cold arrows, hurting your Majesty, don't we deserve to die?"
?”
What a joke!
There is a chaotic battle in the city right now, with arrows flying like locusts and the enemy troops raining down. An arrow might fly from somewhere and hit His Majesty Li Er. Will everyone be allowed to live?
However, His Majesty Li Er shouted on the horse: "Back then, I fought fiercely on the battlefield, charged into battle, and was hit by knives and arrows. How could I ever be afraid? It is possible that the remnant soldiers of Goguryeo could do more harm than Wang Shichong's 100,000 soldiers outside Hulao Pass.
Army? Get out of the way quickly and wait until I enter the city and fight side by side with the soldiers!"
Li Ji has a black streak on his head.
A good man doesn't talk about his bravery in the past. Can we stop talking about the past? Back then, you were just a young master in the Duke's palace, and there was a prince above you. If you didn't risk your life to gain a future, how could you accumulate those merits and conquer the world?
support?
Now you are the emperor!
In the past, it was "barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes", but now it has become a pearl of beauty. How can it stand under a dangerous wall and be destroyed together with the rubble?
The rest of the people who dared came forward one after another, surrounded His Majesty Li Er's horse, and blocked his progress.
Unexpectedly, there were soldiers running into the city nearby. They happened to hear His Majesty Li Er's impassioned words and immediately shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty is mighty! Your Majesty is mighty!"
The surrounding soldiers were infected by him, and their morale soared. They ran faster and shouted: "Long live!"
Then, this excitement quickly spread throughout the battlefield, and countless Tang troops launched a mad charge towards the enemy while shouting at the top of their lungs: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"
The entire battlefield was covered by the "Long Live" that shook the sky. When the Tang army heard that His Majesty was fighting side by side with them, each one of them was so excited that they charged without fear of death and beat the struggling Goguryeo to pieces.
The battle line continued to shrink into the city.
The feedback of this high morale soaring into the sky made His Majesty Li Er feel that the blood in his body was about to burn. He was so excited that he clenched the sword in his hand, stared at Li Ji and yelled at Li Ji: "Quickly let go and follow me to kill the enemy.
!Otherwise, don’t blame me for not caring about your kindness!”
Li Ji was startled when he saw His Majesty Li Er waving the sword in his hand, as if he was about to strike it down with a sword. At the same time, he was suspicious, had His Majesty taken drugs again?
It was obvious that he was overly excited and his temper became increasingly irritable...
Li Ji was sweating on his head and felt weak in his heart. Under normal circumstances, given his identity, status, and achievements, His Majesty would listen to his advice no matter how dissatisfied he was. But if His Majesty really took the medicine, it would be completely difficult to tell.
. He has also seen many people who took the elixir, and even many celebrities who took the five stone powder. Before taking the medicine, these people were polite and polite, but once they took the medicine, they would become excited and inexplicable.
He is irritable, and the situation depends entirely on his preference, with no scruples at all, as if he has lost his mind.
If I really annoyed His Majesty, I might as well kill myself with a sword...
He is not Wei Zheng, who dares to remonstrate with death.
I was frightened in my heart, and my momentum was a little weaker. I looked around and saw that everyone around me had probably noticed something unusual about His Majesty Li Er, and they all had some guesses, so they didn't dare to risk their lives and step forward...
His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand and snatched the horse's rein from Li Ji's hand. He waved his sword and shouted to the imperial army behind him: "My sons, follow me to kill the enemy!"
"Here!"
All the Imperial Guards were personally accompanied by the Emperor and were responsible for protecting the Emperor's safety. How could they dare to let the Emperor charge forward at this time? They quickly swarmed up, wrapped His Majesty Li Er among them, and rushed towards the city wall.
At this moment, a soldier from the front was heard shouting: "The city gate is open! The city gate is open!"
His Majesty Li Er took a closer look and saw that the suspension bridge at the city gate was lowered and the heavy city gate slowly opened. It was obvious that the Tang army had entered the city through the gap and controlled the city gate.
Immediately shouted: "Fight into the city!"
The Imperial Guards on the left and right protected him, and together with the surging soldiers, they rushed towards the east gate.
Li Ji and others did not dare to delay, so they all got on their horses and raised their flags to attract the enemy's attention, lest they target His Majesty Li Er and launch a mad attack, chasing after him and heading towards the city gate.
His Majesty Li Er rushed through the dark city gate, and his eyes suddenly opened up. He saw Tang army soldiers everywhere in the city, charging into the streets and alleys without fear of death, killing everyone they saw, regardless of whether they were Goguryeo troops or civilians. Li Er
Your Majesty didn't care and just led the imperial troops to rush in.
It is indeed not okay to kill innocent people indiscriminately, which will damage the prestige of the army, but how can it be restrained at this time? After nearly two months of continuous mad attacks, which Tang army did not suffer heavy casualties? Paoze died in front of him, which made the Tang army soldiers already inseparable.
He wanted to take a deep revenge, and now he broke into the city and started a killing spree.
His Majesty Li Er walked along the street and saw the Tang army entering the city dividing the enemy troops into groups to surround and kill them. He suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Stop fighting, kill the enemy commander's house!"
He swung his sword to kill an enemy soldier who was fleeing in embarrassment, and then headed towards the Goguryeo Commander's Mansion in the center of the city. After entering the city, the first priority was to destroy the enemy's command system and kill the enemy commander. In this way, the enemy
The army is leaderless and falls into chaos, so it will be very easy to clear it out. Otherwise, once the enemy forces organize a defensive formation, there will be further casualties.
As soon as he shouted, countless Tang troops immediately followed him. More than a thousand people gathered in an instant and charged forward.
But it also alarmed many Goguryeo soldiers, making them realize that this man on horseback surrounded by many elite cavalry was a senior general of the Tang Dynasty...
