On the bank of the Liao River, the Tang Army set off again after a day of repairs and a day of cleaning the battlefield. The main reason was that Luo Zhang's artillery was transported too slowly. It took a full day to transport them, otherwise they would not have repaired for a day.

.

But it doesn't matter if they repair for a day. Anyway, Gaoguli is now within easy reach, and the city of Pyongyang is like a treasure in their pocket.

With Luo Zhang's artillery, so many troops, and more time, if they can't capture the city of Pyongyang, then they don't have to visit Chang'an anymore and can sleep here forever.

The army moved forward slowly. The team stretched for dozens of miles. It was a mighty force. Every soldier held his head high and his chest high, looking very proud. Luo Zhang, who was passing by, could see a smile on his lips. It was obvious that the morale of the army was high.

It's in full swing.

With such morale, I am afraid that even without his artillery, I am afraid that I can capture Pyongyang City. His artillery only allows the army to die less and allows more soldiers to go home.

Just as Luo Zhang and his army were setting off, Su Wen Gaiyuan quietly left Pyongyang last night with a group of thousands of troops, and the direction they went to was a sea south of Koguryo.

Cliff, there was a cargo fleet of Gaoguli hidden there. Because they had a bad relationship with the Tang army, they stopped at this secret port instead of going to the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, these cargo ships might have been wiped out by the Royal Navy. If Su Wen Gaiyuan and the others wanted to leave, they might not have any ships to take them away.

In the sea area of ​​​​Gaoguli, one by one, the high-sea ships dispersed according to Luo Zhang's instructions, casting a wide net throughout the sea area to catch the lone Gaoguli ships, and not allowing any of them to approach the coast of Gaoguli.

Who knows if these ships are delivering supplies to Pyongyang? What they want is to cut off all foreign aid and supplies to Koguryo.

Of course, during this period, we also encountered many ships from Silla and Baekje. For these ships, the Royal Navy did not take action against them. They had to eat their meals one bite at a time. They first captured Goguryeo. When the time came, Silla, Baekje, etc.

How long can Ji continue to bounce around? I'm afraid he will fall into despair.

The best policy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting, and the use of force is the last resort.

The day passed quickly. When Li Jing arrived at Pyongyang City with an army of 300,000 people, he was stunned. Although Pyongyang City is inferior to Chang'an City, its scale is also very large. It was carefully built by the Gao family.

How can it be different after so many years?

Of course, it cannot be compared with Chang'an, which is the most powerful city in history, with a population of one million, while Pyongyang can only accommodate 400,000 people at most, which is almost half the size of Chang'an.

Not to mention that the buildings and facilities in the city are not bad at all.

After all, the foundation is there, the resources are there, and the strengths of the two countries are not the same.

Li Jing did not let his troops attack the city immediately. Instead, he set up camp thirty miles away from Pyongyang City and prepared to launch an attack on Pyongyang City tomorrow.

At this time, Li Jing, Luo Zhang and others did not know that Su Wen Gaiyuan had escaped last night. If they had known about it, they would not have set up camp for repairs, but would have launched an attack immediately.

This gave Su Wen Gaiyuan enough time to escape. Otherwise, with the speed of the Tang cavalry, whether Su Wen Gaiyuan could escape was still a question.

On Pyongyang City, Cui Dunshi stood on the city wall, looking at the huge military camp in the distance and feeling sad. Thinking of that terrible morning in Liaodong County, when the city wall collapsed and the army entered the city, his heart twitched.

If nothing unexpected happens, this scene will probably happen in Pyongyang City. It is impossible for the Tang Army to directly launch an attack on Pyongyang City. That will lose too many men and horses, which is not worth the gain, and the city wall will be blown down. In a frontal battle, they can have fewer troops.

Many, many people will die. As long as there is no problem with their heads, they will wait for the moment when the city wall collapses.

After a long time, Cui Dunshi looked away, walked down the city wall, and came to a house. This was his home, his home in Pyongyang. At this time, the home was empty, he was the only one, and his family followed Su Wen.

Gai Yuan left.

He also knew the purpose of Su Wen Gaiyuan's doing this. He was afraid that he would not try his best or that they would be too late, so he would sacrifice the city and take his family away just to threaten him. If he did this, then he would

His family will all be killed.

But that's not what he said in name. Instead, he said that in order to preserve the incense of his Cui family, such high-sounding words were a common tactic used by those in power.
