The army was defeated like a mountain!

This is no exaggeration at all.

There is a saying in later generations that when a unit's battle losses reach about 10%, it will lose its combat effectiveness.

When the battle damage reaches 30%, it will be completely defeated.

Let’s not talk about whether this number is reasonable and whether it is suitable for the troops of all countries.

However, more than half of Goguryeo's 20,000-strong army was lost in less than half an hour. It was undoubtedly defeated.

Naturally, Xue Rengui would not miss the opportunity and immediately ordered the entire army to attack.

Although those with two legs could not run as well as those with four legs, the Goguryeo cavalry completely lost their formation. Under the impact of the Tang Dynasty phalanx, there was no effective resistance at all.

"Xuanwu, take the rest of the people on the ship and head for Pyongyang City! When these defeated troops flee back, it is our best chance to capture Pyongyang City. At the same time, send out carrier pigeons and signals to let the intelligence in the city investigate.

The bureau's manpower immediately took action."

When Xue Rengui ordered the entire army to attack, Li Kuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Fastest update PC version::/

This battle is finally settled.

Now the Goguryeo army coming back from the border will not be able to come back until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. By then, Pyongyang City will already be under the control of the Tang Army.

Li Kuan has many ways to deal with them.

"My lord, if most people disembark, what will happen to your safety?"

This time, the team led by Li Kuan only had 20,000 people in total. Xue Rengui and the others had just taken away half of them, and the rest were mainly crew members from various ships and some guards.

Now according to Li Kuan's wishes, except for the necessary personnel, everyone else went to hunt down the Goguryeo people.

Wang Xuanwu was naturally worried about whether something unexpected would happen.

"In this case, aren't there hundreds of civilian ships behind the army? Those merchants are very life-saving, and each of them brings many servants to protect them. You ask Wang Fugui to inform you that a big fortune is waiting in Pyongyang City.

Everyone, whoever enters the city first will get more benefits."

Naturally, Li Kuan could not let all the crew members disembark to fight. He still needed to maintain necessary personnel on the ship to ensure that the fleet could move normally.

Otherwise, if the war is unexpected and the fleet is attacked by Goguryeo's reinforcements, it will be great fun.

…

"Quick! Move faster!"

At the temporary station of the hot-air balloon camp, Zhu Fuyu was directing the logistics staff to replenish the hot-air balloon with crossbow arrows and kerosene bombs.

Now that the army is preparing to attack the city, it is time for the hot air balloon battalion to play its special role.

Zhu Fufu would not miss such a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

"Aye, I think it is necessary to leave a dozen hot-air balloons specifically for carrying people. We transported all the most skilled guards in the camp to the city walls of Pyongyang via hot-air balloons to see if we can find opportunities to open up the city.

Open the gate and lead the army directly into the city!"

Zhu Jin, as Zhu Fufu's eldest son, is now also a captain of the hot air balloon camp.

His mind is more flexible than Zhu Fufu's, and he knows how to adapt in time.

"Okay, I'll do as you said! But everyone must be careful and be mentally prepared. If you slide down the cable from the hot air balloon, you will be surrounded by Goguryeo people immediately. This is a narrow escape mission."

Zhu Fuyu thought for a few seconds and realized that although Zhu Jin's proposal was a bit risky, once it succeeded, the effect would be very good.

"Okay! Then... well, take care of yourself!"

Zhu Jin proposed such a plan, and he naturally joined the adventurers and entered Pyongyang City among the first batch without hesitation.

"You...you should also be careful...be careful!"

Zhu Fufu was stunned for a moment, but finally agreed.

Why can other people's sons charge forward, but not my own?

…

Chaos has begun in Pyongyang city.

Goguryeo's 20,000 troops left the city. For such an important event, the city walls were naturally filled with soldiers and some nobles to watch.

Thanks to the fact that the walls of Pyongyang City are high enough and the outside of the city walls is open enough, although everyone cannot see the specific situation of the war, the progress of the war and who wins and who loses can still be seen.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on horses, and the dark crowd slowly became scattered, many people knew that something was wrong.

By the time the remaining Goguryeo cavalry began to retreat, some clever nobles already knew what to do.

The Tang army outside the city basically had no cavalry.

As long as you are fast enough, you can escape from Pyongyang City and head to Liaodong.

In their view, Seoul has fallen and Pyongyang is now in danger. As long as there is a chance, they will naturally run away.

Of course, there are only a few people who have this kind of decisiveness.

Many people believe that with more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, there will be no problem in defending Pyongyang.

"Whoever takes Yeon Gae So Moon's head will be the future great rival!"

"The head of Yeon Gaesumun can be exchanged for a thousand taels of gold!"

"The Tang army treats prisoners preferentially, don't resist fearlessly!"

"Whoever surrenders first will be promoted to the third level immediately!"

Personnel from the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau of Prince Chu's Mansion also began to take action.

By bribing some beggars and refugees in Pyongyang, the news spread everywhere in less than half an hour.

Some of the soldiers who stood on the city wall and watched the entire battle today began to get excited.

More than 20,000 cavalry could not defeat 10,000 infantry. The most important thing was that the Tang Dynasty seemed to have suffered no losses, while the Goguryeo army was about to be wiped out.

How to fight this battle?

Resistance may lead to death, but surrender may lead to glory and wealth.

How to choose?

Although Goguryeo has been a country for hundreds of years, the people in the country generally do not have a strong sense of honor for their country and family.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty was powerful and was a vassal state of many countries. There was no big psychological obstacle to surrendering to the Tang Dynasty.

For a moment, the eyes of the garrison generals in the city flickered at each other.

Although Yeon Gaesomun, the actual leader of Goguryeo, did not see all this with his own eyes, he could feel the fluctuation of military morale in Pyongyang.

"Mo Lizhi, I have followed your instructions and closed the city gate tightly. Even the soldiers who went on the expedition before are not allowed to enter the city! Counting the time, in another quarter of an hour, the Tang army should have arrived at the city."

In the palace, an official carefully reported the situation to Yeon Gaesowen.

The enraged Yeon Gaesumun had just killed three officials in one go, and he didn't want to become the fourth.

"Send the order! All officers and men will be heavily rewarded after this battle! Then tell everyone that the elite reinforcements led by Dalang are already on the way. As long as everyone persists for two days, by then the Tang army will be defeated by the internal and external cooperation."

Although Yeon Gaesumun's personal fighting ability is very strong, he also has some strategies.

But facing the current situation, he was also helpless.

Just now, he was standing on the city wall and watched this battle.

Moreover, compared to others, he still has the only "clairvoyance" that he bought with a lot of money.

Therefore, Yeon Gaesumun knows better than anyone what kind of powerful army he is facing now.

Ever since he was a child, Yeon Gaesumun has never seen a battle like today.

Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes or someone told him, he wouldn't believe it.
