However, in the end, Cheng Zhijie got what he wanted. He quickly went to Qingzhou with two hundred personal guards, recruited Qingzhou veterans on the spot, guarded Beisha City, and took the opportunity to capture Muyang City, Caucheng and other places!
At the same time, Li Shimin also issued an edict to announce the matters surrounding Beisha City's capital.
Suddenly, the government and the public were shocked!
All the ministers asked for permission to go to Qingzhou to greet the bones of the soldiers.
Similarly, after hearing about this incident, a group of former Sui gentry scattered in various states of the Tang Dynasty also went to Qingzhou.
Li Xuan didn't know how much of a sensation a Beijing temple caused in the Tang Dynasty.
Now, Li Xuanzheng was holding a boulder half a man's height in his hands, aiming at the city wall, and throwing it towards the bottom of the city gate with excitement.
As the boulder half a man's height fell down, a large number of Goguryeo soldiers could be knocked down.
Afterwards, the huge boulder would roll down the mountain along the slope in front of the city gate, taking away a large number of Goguryeo soldiers along the way.
Therefore, every time Li Xuan lifted a huge stone, all the soldiers on the surrounding city walls looked down with excitement.
The Goguryeo soldiers and generals who were attacking the city below had frightened faces and quickly scattered, hiding in all directions.
However, there is only one narrow road in front of the gate of Beisha City.
No matter how the Goguryeo soldiers hid on both sides, some soldiers could still be squeezed out.
Therefore, every time Li Xuan lifted a huge stone and threw it down, at least hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers would be killed or injured.
Zang Yuanchun, the prefect of Xuecheng, and Chi Xiangqihua, the prefect of Shicheng, who were following behind to supervise the battle, were shocked and angry.
After they received news that Bisha City had been captured by the Tang Army, which numbered only over a thousand, they led soldiers from the two cities, totaling five thousand, to kill them.
I thought I could easily recapture Beisha City, but I never expected that the Tang thief general who captured Beisha City would have such miraculous power!
With just a few huge rocks, they were able to block the armies of the two cities halfway up the mountain for three days, injuring thousands of people, but they were still unable to attack.
After three days, the morale of all the Goguryeo soldiers had plummeted.
"What can you do to deal with that thief general?"
In the military tent, Zang Yuanchun and Chi Xiangqihua sat above each other, looking at the generals in the tent with sad faces.
"General Qi, our troops have been attacking the city for the past three days. We have injured the soldiers who came forward and need to be repaired!"
A deputy general from the cave city stood up and said angrily.
"What do you mean, are you accusing me, the soldiers of Shicheng, of not being brave?"
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Shi Cheng looked unhappy.
"My cave city soldiers have been hit by big rocks, but you and other stone city soldiers have been hiding behind and are still pushing my cave city soldiers forward!"
"You are talking nonsense. You are slandering our Shicheng warriors. It is clearly your cave city warriors who have been rushing forward in order to fight for the invasion of Bisha City..."
"You bastard, don't make any excuses..."
In less than a moment, the entire military tent was filled with noise.
"alright!"
Seeing this, Zang Yuanchun and Chi Xiang Qihua couldn't help but look irritated and roared angrily. After all the generals calmed down, they took their respective soldiers and left.
Although there was no quarrel between Zang Yuanchun and Chi Xiangqihua, both of them saw the scene during the siege.
If Bisha City could be successfully captured, the two of them might not have any complaints.
However, now that the war is so corrupt, the two of them are naturally becoming more and more dissatisfied with the behavior of the other side's soldiers during the siege.
"General, it's obviously his Stone City soldiers who have been secretly pushing my cave city soldiers to block the boulder!"
"Shut up!"
"General..."
"Go on, when we attack the city tomorrow, our cave city soldiers should be smarter and walk behind those stone city soldiers. If the thief throws huge rocks again, let the stone city soldiers resist it!"
"Yes, General..."
All the generals were overjoyed.
But, on the second day.
When they started to attack the city, Zang Yuanchun and Chi Xiangqihua's expressions changed slightly and they quickly looked at each other.
I saw the soldiers from Caucheng and Shicheng trying to hide behind each other.
Under such circumstances, for half an hour, the soldiers were hiding from each other and did not even go to the top of the mountain.
Even some irritable Goguryeo soldiers have begun to take action secretly.
Seeing this, Zang Yuanchun and Chi Xiang Qihua couldn't help but snorted coldly and turned to look at the guards beside them.
"Send the order, all the soldiers in our cave city (Stone City) should withdraw and stop attacking the city!"
"yes!"
The guards on both sides quickly ran up the mountain.
Soon, all the Goguryeo soldiers retreated in a chaotic manner.
"And Caucheng is so scheming, I, Shicheng, will never attack the city together with you!"
"Hmph, the soldiers from Stone City are the most cunning, and I, the soldiers from Cave City, will never attack the city together with the soldiers from Stone City!"
After the reorganization was completed, all the partial generals approached their respective generals.
"The soldiers of Caucheng (Stone City) are so treacherous, and by working with them, our soldiers of Shicheng (Cave City) are in danger!"
“Withdraw troops!
"The general is wise!"
Hearing this, all the generals were overjoyed.
They had not wanted to be stoned by the enemy general of the Tang Dynasty who had the power of gods and demons under this Beisha City!
Buried pot for cooking.
In the afternoon, Zang Yuanchun and Chi Xiang Qihua took the soldiers from their respective cities and slowly retreated.
…
In Bisha City, Li Xuan ordered Zheng Fu to arrange a group of soldiers to monitor the movements of the Goguryeo army at all times.
Therefore, when Zang Yuanchun and Chi Xiang Qihua retreated with their respective armies, Zheng Fu immediately reported to Li Xuan.
"Your Majesty, the Goguryeo army has withdrawn!"
"If you want to run away, where can you run to?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sneer.
"Zheng Fu, immediately summon two thousand soldiers to follow this king to hunt down these Goguryeo troops! Leave one thousand soldiers behind to guard Bisha City!"
"yes!"
Zheng Fu's expression perked up, he bowed his hands to Li Xuan, and quickly retreated.
Wei Sanlang on the side also subconsciously looked at Li Xuan with expectation on his face.
"Zheng Fu and others have already made it clear to you what my military merits of the Tang Dynasty are. Those of you who want to obtain my military merits of the Tang Dynasty can follow me to kill the enemy!"
Li Xuandan said in a dull voice.
"I will obey the order of King Jin!"
Wei Sanlang's face was full of joy.
Although there is little hope of becoming a knight, the Yongye Field of the Tang Dynasty is still a great yearning for people like them.
Therefore, after Wei Sanlang finished speaking, all the surrendering soldiers in Bisha City screamed with excitement.
Soon, Zheng Fu led 2,000 soldiers, and Wei Sanlang led 1,500 soldiers, all standing in front of Li Xuan with excited faces.
"Everyone, the five thousand troops in Caucheng and Shicheng have begun to retreat.
Now, no matter you are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, or you want to surrender troops in Beisha City, you are all under my king at this moment, and you will kill the enemy with me. As long as you make gains, you can get military merit! The opportunity to grant land and be granted a title is now
In front of you, I hope you can grasp it!"
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, all the soldiers were full of excitement.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Follow me and pursue the enemy!"
Li Xuan shouted loudly, then led a group of personal guards and took the lead in chasing down the mountain.
Behind him, Zheng Fu and Wei Sanlang each led a group of soldiers, following closely behind.
Every soldier's face was full of excitement and there was no trace of reluctance.
They all knew that although the Caucheng and Shicheng armies were claimed to be five thousand, they attacked Beisha City for three consecutive days. Not only were they exhausted, but they also lost at least a thousand people.
After catching up with such a tired army, they are like a group of lambs, ready to be slaughtered by them!
However, since none of them had horses, it took an hour to catch up with the armies from Caucheng and Shicheng.
