Gao Jianwu was as frightened as a lost dog and as anxious as a fish that had slipped through the net. He led more than a hundred guards, abandoned Pyongyang and took the road, and fled north. He did not choose to go west because Yuan Taizuo was in that direction.
Behind him, there were still thousands of defenders in the city. They lost their command and were in chaos. Some of them cheered up and joined in the resistance battle, while others abandoned their swords and guns, took off their uniforms, and stood close to the wall. Some even What's more, they took the opportunity to cause chaos, rushed into the homes of the people in the city, burned, killed, looted, and committed wanton evil. At this moment, the spies sent by Shen Guoer to sneak into the city in advance also set fires everywhere in the city, causing chaos. Pyongyang has been at peace for hundreds of years. Falling into catastrophe, cries were heard everywhere.
Wang Junlin knew that he brought too few people to besiege the city, so it was difficult to keep Gao Jianwu here, so he sent Li Xuanba with a thousand people to hunt down Gao Jianwu, and then ignored Gao Jianwu.
After Wang Junlin led the cavalry into the city, he immediately divided his troops according to the pre-planned strategy, controlled key points in the city, took over the city defense, occupied the palace, various government offices and warehouses, and controlled the main roads.
Then Wang Junlin led the main force to attack the palace guard barracks in the city, directly blocking a large number of soldiers in the barracks. Although the camp gate was closed in time, the leaderless Pyongyang soldiers looked at the Sui Dynasty who gathered outside the camp in horror. I don't know what to do with the cavalry.
Several Goguryeo ministers and generals gathered together and formed a temporary command structure to discuss how to face the current crisis. In fact, there were only two ways, surrender or die in battle. It was expected that the thin camp gates and wooden fences would block such attacks. The Sui cavalry, who were as wolf-like as tigers, might as well have hoped for a sow climbing a tree.
At this time, Wang Junlin still had about 3,000 available mobile troops, and most of them were used to control the city defense and various important institutions. At this time, there were still more than 2,000 Pyongyang defenders gathered in the military camp opposite him. , if these soldiers are brave enough to fight, Wang Junlin will really have to fight hard.
Wang Junlin did not wait long, and the matter was resolved easily beyond his expectation - more than two thousand Pyongyang defenders decided to surrender.
Half an hour later, more than 2,000 people in the Pyongyang City military camp were all disarmed and detained by Wang Junlin. Then Wang Junlin quickly organized a security team and deployed to restore order in the city.
At this point, Pyongyang completely fell into Wang Junlin's hands.
………
………
Because Yuan Taizuo has mobilized most of the defenders in Pyongyang City to the maximum extent, and was sent by Gao Jianwu to reinforce Annan County a few days ago, the capital of Goguryeo can almost be called an empty city. The huge city has only a few With more than 3,000 defenders, some government servants, and some guards from powerful families guarding the courtyard, the process of Wang Junlin leading people to break through the city and enter the city to eliminate the enemy felt even easier than when he first attacked Daluo City.
Zhang Tiangang, covered in blood, rode up to Wang Junlin and smiled stupidly at him.
Wang Junlin glanced at him up and down, showed admiration, and said with a smile: "Are there any injuries? What are the casualties of your brothers in the special operations team?"
"Replying to your lord, the humble officer was not injured, but nearly half of the two hundred brothers below were killed or injured. The exact number has not yet been calculated."
"In this battle, your special team has made its first contribution. Let the people below you know that they will be rewarded based on their merits when they return." Wang Junlin nodded and said.
"I understand the humble position." Hearing the word 'first achievement', Zhang Tiangang was excited and excited. Since landing at the border of Goguryeo in Nanyangzhai, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, and Yuchi Jingde have successively made great achievements, and he has always been extremely envious. Until these few days.
In the same day, he led the special forces to achieve two great achievements. First, he captured Li Guangshun alive in the battle of Blackwater Canyon, but his greatest achievement was the capture of Pyongyang City.
Looking up at the burning city, as well as the exotic buildings and people everywhere, Wang Junlin suddenly felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh: "Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, is now ours, but we can only stay here for two days at most.
Then we have to retreat.”
Zhang Tiangang couldn't help but ask: "Why is this?"
Wang Junlin said: "The original plan was to capture this city for three purposes. First, to strongly deter the Goguryeo people so that they would not become so arrogant just because they defeated the main force led by His Majesty the Emperor. In this way, they would send troops to attack the city we had established.
Annan will naturally act cautiously."
"Secondly, after this matter spreads, the hundreds of thousands of Sui soldiers who fled into the deep mountains and forests of Goguryeo will naturally try their best to escape to the Annan Kingdom under our control. Goguryeo is not large in area, and Yuan Taizuo no matter how he sends people to contain it
, eventually many Sui soldiers will flee to Annan Kingdom, not to mention that I have already asked Guoer to arrange for them to take care of them, so these veterans of hundreds of battles will be our biggest gain."
"In the end, it's all about money. The number of troops we control will skyrocket in the next step. The domestic businesses and the maritime business Yang Kongchan is responsible for are no longer enough to raise troops, and Fanyang County's taxes still have to be paid to the court. As for the
Annan Kingdom can feed back some, but not too much. Half of the wealth of Goguryeo is stored in Pyongyang City. We don’t have to kill the people in the palace and the noble families. We don’t have to kill them as long as they don’t resist. But all their
We need to take all the money away. This money will be enough for us to support an army of 100,000 for several years."
…
…
In this way, the capital city of Goguryeo was captured by Wang Junlin with ten thousand light cavalry. The process was unexpected, but the result was predictable.
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. When Yuan Taizuo used all his troops to pursue hundreds of thousands of defeated Sui soldiers who failed to escape, and laid siege to Liaodong City, striving to perfect his achievements, Wang Junlin not only unexpectedly attacked
Annan County also directly attacked the capital of Goguryeo, with a total of 10,000 cavalry.
Ten thousand cavalry were placed on the main battlefield of the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo in the west a few days ago. They were like dead leaves falling into a pond, without even a single ripple. According to the normal logical behavior of the commanders, no one would take the risk.
It was such a dangerous thing to use only 10,000 people to attack the enemy's capital, something that was unthinkable, but Wang Junlin did it and succeeded.
When the Sui army entered the city, fires quickly broke out everywhere in Pyongyang. Both residential buildings and government offices became the targets of the Sui army. Originally, the number of Goguryeo defenders in Pyongyang was at least 100,000. However, because General Yuan Taizuo
All the soldiers of the country were mobilized and went to the western front. As a result, there were only more than 3,000 defenders in Pyongyang City, plus a small number of official servants and guards guarding the palace. Wang Junlin led 10,000 cavalry into the city and charged like tigers and wolves.
After entering the sheepfold, there was almost no decent resistance. The people in the city fled in panic from the fire, screaming and howling.
There is no mercy in war. The only people who suffer and are killed are the common people. In front of the army wearing armor and holding swords, the common people have no choice but to flee in panic.
"Get rid of the remaining enemies as soon as possible. If there are any resistance among the people in the city, they will be killed on the spot! But if the order continues, no one can kill innocent people indiscriminately and massacre the city." Wang Junlin ordered in a deep voice.
Wang Junlin was riding on a blood-maned horse, looking at the sky-high fires erupting everywhere in the city. Thinking of the six thousand Sui army cavalry gathered by Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba, he couldn't help but feel worried. These six thousand people must have overwhelming hatred and endless hatred in their hearts.
If their murderous intent was left unchecked, these six thousand people would probably kill all the Goguryeo people in the city. Of course, the women in the city would definitely suffer as well.
"Yuchi Jingde, take your people to occupy the palace immediately!" Wang Junlin ordered, thought for a while, and added: "Open the palace warehouse, and all valuable things are packed and tied up in trucks, ready to be taken away."
Yuchi Jingde grinned, clasped his fists and left.
What followed was ruthless killing. Regardless of whether they were guards, chamberlains, or maids, Yuchi Jingde and his men broke into the palace. As long as they did not squat down and surrender immediately, they would directly kill them. However, the guards were all killed regardless of whether they surrendered or not.
It's just that the treasures in the palace are not as much as expected. After all, although Gao Jianwu is not a puppet, he does not control the entire country, and in order to cope with the conquest of the Sui Dynasty army, too much property was consumed.
It was impossible for Yuan Taizuo to only spend the property he controlled and leave too much money to Gao Jianwu. However, there were many treasures of cultural relics, paintings, calligraphy, antiques and other items left by the previous kings of Goguryeo in the palace. Naturally, Yuchi Jingde would not be polite and searched them all.
Pack it up and take it away.
After the palace was ransacked, the next target was Yuan Taizuo's mansion, a hundred steps away from the palace.
Gao Jianwu obviously did it intentionally. He never sent anyone to notify the people in Yuan Mansion from the beginning, let alone sent anyone to protect the people in Yuan Mansion from escaping.
Therefore, the people in Yuan Mansion were a step too late and failed to escape from the city.
Luo Shixin led his men to kill all the guards and male servants of the Yuan clan, and then followed Wang Junlin's instructions to arrest all the more than 20 direct clan members of the Yuan clan. These people were to be taken away when they left, and they would be taken away later with the
It will be of great use when facing Yuan Taizuo's army in a head-on battle.
Yuan Taizuo's mansion was no smaller than the palace of Goguryeo, and it was even richer and richer than the palace. After Luo Shixin and his men searched it, they gained a lot. This palace alone was as rich as the country, and could almost be regarded as a small treasury.
Luo Shixin led thousands of people to move for more than two hours, and then swept away all the valuable treasures and money in Yuan Taizuo's mansion, leaving behind furniture, appliances and other items that could not be taken away. Luo Shixin burned them all in one fire.
The other nobles, wealthy businessmen, and officials in the city did not let go either. Those who resisted were killed and all the money was robbed. Those who did not resist were not killed, but all the money was also robbed.

Although Wang Junlin had ordered, the red-eyed soldiers, especially the 6,000 Sui soldiers gathered by Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba in the later period, were very different. How many innocent people were killed in the city, how many civilian families were robbed, and even how many Goguryeo women were killed.
There are no specific statistics on being raped. This kind of thing was not stopped until Wang Junlin ordered the beheading of more than twenty Sui army cavalry.
This is the rule of war. At this time, a normal general would no longer be able to control the beastly nature of the soldiers of the Sui army. He could only turn a blind eye and let the officers of the Sui army roam the enemy's capital.
There are many evil things done in the city. But Wang Junlin is different after all.
