Chapter 695 Battle
Li Yanshun rode his horse and rushed into the depths of the camp. He led his personal guards to find an exit in the camp. However, his luck was too unfaithful tonight. After searching for a long time, he did not find a place for him to leave safely.
"General, what should we do?" asked the personal guard beside him.
"How do I know? Go and find the exit-" Li Yanshun shouted, "Let the army stabilize the morale of the army-"
However, the morale of the Goryeo army is now lost. They are like losing their souls, howling in the camp with a raging fire.
In the distance, Li Ke on the high ground looked at the fire in the camp and asked his subordinates around him, "Where is the army now?"
"Your Highness, Xue Li led an army of 20,000 to patrol the camp. As long as a Korean man escaped, he would kill them under the horse. Pei Xinglian had led an army of 60,000 ambushed under Baiyan City. As long as the army in the city goes out of the city to rescue, they will be caught off guard." Hou Hu answered seriously to Li Ke.
"—Why do you burn so many people to death with your life? Leave a few living things-" Li Ke said lightly.
"What does Your Highness mean?" Hou Hu asked in confusion.
"If you want to dismantle the morale of the Koreans, there is a more effective way to be attacked by fire-" Li Ke paused for a brief moment and continued, "You have been to Xue Li, and the Wolf Cavalry Camp will also go to battle, leave some survivors and play slowly!"
"No" Hou Hu received the order and left.
Li Ke watched the camp fires soaring into the sky in the night, screams in the camp kept rising and falling, and sighed slightly in his heart, without saying anything, silently returning to his handsome account.
In Baiyan City, Gao Dezhu, the Goryeo general, found that the 100,000 troops he sent to attack the camp, had been ambushed and buried in the sea of fire. He immediately sat in the seat of the chief general without saying a word. His face was gloomy and terrible. The generals around him dared not speak, and even the suggestions of sending troops out of the city to rescue were dared to express his advice.
The atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely condensing, and the generals of Baiyan City were cold! The Northern King Li Ke’s military talent was very clear in their hearts that this attack was mainly aimed at the disagreement between the New Army and the Northern King Li Ke’s black-clothed guards, and the strangeness between the New Army generals and Li Ke, and they wanted to fight the Tang army with no means of being too tough.
However, the 100,000 troops he sent were ambushed and buried in the sea of fire. What the generals were thinking about now was how to defend Baiyan City, rather than how to send people to rescue the 100,000 troops outside the city. Moreover, more importantly, when Li Ke arrived in Liaodong, he had Li Ke's previous achievements. Now most of the generals in the hall were thinking about how to prevent him from becoming Li Ke's captive and how to save his life in this battle.
Therefore, with the performance of the generals in the city, Bai Yancheng did not take the initiative to send a large army to rescue. The 100,000 troops sent by Goryeo to attack the camp were wiped out, and some of them became prisoners of the Tang army.
At the end of the war, Li Ke met Pei Xinglian and Xue Rengui at the Xinjun camp.
"Isn't it good? Your ambush battle is excellent-" Li Ke said lightly, "I am pleased with you-"
"Your Highness - In today's battle, we captured 10,000 Korean soldiers, and the remaining 90,000 were buried in the sea of fire-" Pei Xinglian reported to Li Kehui. His tone was very cold, as if the dead 90,000 people had nothing to do with him.
"Your Highness, the student killed Li Yanshun, the chief general of Goryeo——" Li Ke said lightly, putting Li Yanshun's head on Li Ke's desk.
Looking at Li Yanshun's hideous head, Li Ke smiled faintly.
"Seeing him stuck under Baiyan City, let the Goryeo people see what they would do to oppose the Tang Dynasty-" Li Ke said fiercely.
"No--" The two of them took the order and left.
The next day, Li Ke ordered Lan Dong to lead the Turkic spirits to provoke the Goryeans in Baiyan City.
The Goryeo people learned the painful lesson of the attack on the camp last night. Today, they were hiding in the city and dared not fight. Besides, they had been hiding for several months and were used to this kind of defense.
Therefore, on the city tower of Baiyan City, Gao Dezhu, the chief general of Goryeo, coldly looked at the 20,000 Turkic cavalry under the city without saying a word, and his generals were silent.
Lan Dong was mentally prepared when he saw the Goryeo people huddled in the city and did not dare to respond. He waved his hand to his subordinates, and 20,000 elite cavalry separated from them. Two thousand new Tang army led more than 1,000 Korean prisoners of war to the battlefield. These prisoners were ragged, their faces were black, and their bodies were burnt. They were the Goryeo prisoners who were captured in the fire last night.
The new Tang army lined up the prisoners under Baiyan City and slowly withdrew from the battlefield.
Gao Dezhu, the Goryeo general in Baiyan City, saw the prisoners of war, and he immediately understood the purpose of the Tang army.
Because he had also studied Li Ke's tactics, combat thinking, etc. before, he knew clearly how Northern King Li Ke treated prisoners.
Suddenly, Gao Dezhu was a little confused! He was over fifty years old today. When the Sui Dynasty was expeditioning Goryeo in the north, he was a young general. At that time, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was benevolence and righteousness. It was not until prisoners of war that Goryeo took the opportunity to be defeated and followed the army. Even though the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally led the expedition this time, his kindness made Gao Dezhu think of the means to deal with the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. However, when he saw the Tang Dynasty taking prisoners of war onto the battlefield and going to be executed under Baiyan City, he was awake. He knew that the Northern King Li Ke in front of him was not the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty of the previous dynasty, nor was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin, he was himself, the Northern King Li Ke, a man who was comparable to the military god in the Tang Dynasty.
"Captain Horse Preparation-" Lan Dong shouted coldly.
His personal guards began to slowly walk out and stopped in front of the prisoners of war.
Lan Dong likes such bloody scenes very much, which is very consistent with his personality. He already likes the pleasure of blood gushing out.
"Goryeo, will you surrender?" Lan Dong asked in stiff Chinese.
Because, since the reign of Emperor Yang of the Great Sui and Sui Dynasty, vassal states such as Goryeo and Fusang began to learn to speak the Central Plains. After Li Ke conquered the Turks, the generals of the Turks all learned the Central Plains.
Gao Dezhu still didn't say anything, he looked at the prisoners of war under Baiyan City with a blue face.
"Well—hahaha——" Lan Dong laughed, "If you don't surrender——The result of yours on the day of breaking the city is the same as them. His Highness of the Northern King has an order to break the city and slaughter the city-haha——haha——kill——”
Lan Dong smiled wildly, his laughter resounded under Baiyan City, making the Goryeo guards on the city tremble when they heard it.
"ah--"
Screams came one after another, and then one after another, the heads of the Goryeo captives rolled onto the ground. Blood gushed out from their headless corpses. After killing the prisoners of war, a thousand Turkic spirit cavalry slowly activated their war horses and rushed to Baiyan City. The Goryeo soldiers guarding the city were so scared that they shot arrows without orders, but their sight was insufficient, and they did not shoot a single arrow on the Turkic spirit cavalry. The Turkic spirit cavalry suddenly bent their bows and arrows, and screams sounded on the head of the city, and many Goryeo guards were set up on the city walls.
"Haha-haha-" Lan Dong laughed wildly,
"Turkish people, you wait. Today's general Daqiong will definitely avenge—" Gao Dezhu couldn't help but roar.
"Haha--" Lan Dong laughed wildly, "You won't have a chance over there. On the day of breaking the city, you will die for the city--" After saying that, he led his army to leave Baiyan City in a swagger.
