Eight hundred and eighty-sixth chapter dawn news

The Liaodong City, which had 100,000 defenders, was conquered within one day. For people of this era, it was really shocking and almost impossible to happen, but it happened.

Everyone except Li Su himself was shocked, so Li Su was looking forward to seeing someone's reaction.

This person is a prisoner, a female prisoner with unknown origin and strange identity everywhere.

Liaodong City was conquered within one day. What would Gao Suhui, a Goguryeo man, think? Is she anxious to know why this city with 100,000 defenders is so vulnerable? Is she very curious about the explosions of the thunder that shook the sky during the siege? All day long, guessing what the rumble sound in the distance was?

Li Su suddenly wanted to know the inner world of this woman. Her thoughts determine actions, so her thoughts are very important to Li Su.

He was not in a good mood, and Li Su walked back to his barracks from the Central Army Commander's tent. When he was about to reach the barracks, Li Su suddenly stopped, raised his head and took a few deep breaths, and then showed a calm smile.

Turning his head to look at Fang Laowu and Xue Rengui behind him, Li Su smiled and said, "Everything is all happy. It is a happy thing for the King of Army to capture Liaodong City. You two seem to be defeated, which is very unlucky."

Fang Laowu and Xue Rengui were in a bad mood, and he reluctantly squeezed out an ugly smile at him after hearing this.

Li Su said "stop" with disgust, then turned his head and walked, saying as he walked, "You two are not enough, don't go into the barracks with me, just stay outside."

Li Su walked in with a smile. A basin of charcoal fire grew in the barracks, and the tent was warm. Gao Suhui knelt in front of the charcoal fire, staring at the red charcoal fire with her eyes dull. She was thinking about what she was thinking too much, and she didn't even notice Li Su entering the door.

Li Su didn't make a sound, and stood at the door and looked at her quietly.

He has been captive of this Goryeo woman for more than two months, but Li Su rarely looks at her with an eye. First, he is very cautious about her, and second, this woman is very beautiful. Li Su is afraid that if he sees too much, he will do anything beastly. Female prisoners have no human rights. Since they are trapped in the enemy camp, it is reasonable to be ruined. What Li Su cannot pass is his moral barrier. It is God's blessing to have two women who love him deeply in this life. He does not want to do something that disappoints them.

After a while, the charcoal fire made a crisp sound. Gao Suhui, who was dazed and dazed, was startled and finally came to her senses. Then, she saw Li Su standing quietly at the door.

Gao Suhui hurriedly got up, walked to Li Su and gave a squat salute, lowered her head and stood silently on one side.

Li Su looked at her up close.

Gao Suhui's expression today was different from usual. Although she was still expressionless at this time, a hint of horror and fear flashed in her eyes from time to time, and her face was paler than usual. Obviously, the Tang army's attack on Liaodong City within one day shocked her. This fact not only completely unexpected, but also shattered her views.

Even though he was shocked, he could not express his feelings. So the expression Li Su saw was so strong and shocked that he pretended to be calm.

Li Su laughed in her heart, then walked into the barracks with a calm expression, and said as she walked: "Today is quite hard, hurry up and get me water and clean the noodles. I was very tired and I went to bed after washing."

"Yes." Gao Suhui responded lightly, then turned around and went out.

Gao Suhui did a little awkward in serving people. Li Su had long seen this. She must have been serving people. She must have never taken the initiative to serve others in her life. She was staggering in her basin of water, and the water spilled all over the floor.

Under Gao Suhui's busy service, Li Su finished washing up, then put her clothes on the couch, took out a book from the pillow, and then read it and dozed off.

Gao Suhui kept standing quietly aside, turning her head to look at the sky outside the tent from time to time, with a complicated expression.

Li Su stared at Shu, but said lightly: "You don't need to serve here anymore, you can go down and rest."

Gao Suhui bit her lower lip, looked hesitant for a moment, and timidly said: "The good news of breaking Liaodong City should be coming soon. Are you... not waiting?"

Li Su finally moved her eyes from the book to her and smiled playfully: "Are you concerned about the war ahead?"

Gao Suhui lowered her head: "It's impossible not to care about such a big noise in the siege."

Li Su put the book in his hand aside and said, "Liaodong City is broken, can you ask how you feel in your heart at this moment?"

Gao Suhui smiled bitterly: "How can you feel the prisoners below the steps? The invincible reputation of the Tang army has long been known to everyone in the world, and it is not surprising to capture Liaodong City."

Li Su nodded: "Yes, breaking the city within one day will be considered unsatisfactory."

"In one day..." Gao Suhui's expression moved slightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "There are 100,000 defenders in Liaodong City, how could the Tang army be within one day..."

"It sounds really impossible. One hundred thousand defenders guard a city. It is not uncommon to stay for a year or two..." Li Su showed a proud look on her face and said with a smile: "But it was just now that we could break it in one day. You also said just now that the invincible reputation of the Tang army is known to everyone in the world. You should know that my Tang Dynasty King's Army is well-known in this battle."

Gao Suhui bit her lower lip, her face showed an extremely confused look, and she said softly as if she was muttering to herself: "How is it possible? The city was broken in one day, and the rumbling sound of thunder when siege today..."

Li Su seemed to be a little sleepy. He yawned, stretched out his long laziness, and then half drooped his eyelids and said lazily: "Oh, the thunderous sound you said is the secret weapon of my King's Master. Well, it was made by me by myself back then, and it seemed that the effect was good, otherwise it would be impossible to break the city in one day. Let me tell you, this thing is...hard...hard..."

As he was talking, Li Su gradually stopped his mouth. Gao Suhui looked at him and found that he was asleep, and even snoring sounds were heard in his nostrils.

Gao Suhui was still standing quietly in the barracks, staring at Li Su intently, staring at his sleeping face, but her expression changed. She didn't know what she was thinking, and a hint of excitement and tension flashed from time to time in her eyes.

After a long time, Gao Suhui finally let out a faint sigh and then quietly left the barracks.

As soon as her figure disappeared into the tent, Li Su, who was asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, showed a silent and mysterious smile, and then closed her eyes again. This time he was really asleep.

***************************************************************

Li Su didn't sleep for long. When it was almost dawn, a sudden burst of rapid and chaotic sound of horse hooves came from the camp. Starting from the gate, he headed straight for the central army commander's tent. The knights on the horse galloped and shouted happily.

"All the remaining enemies have been cleared, and the Liaodong city is defeated!"

"The city of Liaodong is defeated! The Tang Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"

The sound gradually faded away with the sound of horse hooves, but the camp was already full of boiling sounds and thunderous joy.

Amid the thunderous cheers, Li Su was awakened and came out of her cloak. Looking at the joyful scenes everywhere in the camp, Li Su stood quietly outside the barracks for a long time, with no sadness or joy in his expression.

This result was expected, but Li Su didn't feel anything to be excited about. The moment the city was knocked down by the thunder, the fall of Liaodong City was destined. As for the remaining enemies who were fighting stubbornly in the city, it was only a matter of time before and after the sturdy city walls were broken. How long can the remaining enemies' flesh and blood be withstood?

Now that the remnants of enemies are eliminated, it means that Liaodong City has completely fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty from the inside out. From Li Shimin's perspective, this game of chess in the Battle of the Eastern Expedition is considered to be completely alive.

Amid the cheers, Gao Suhui was also awakened. She ran out of the camp with disheveled clothes and her hair. Looking at the soldiers cheering around in the camp, a little dark look flashed on Gao Suhui's face.

Li Su smiled at her and said, "The remnant enemy has been eliminated, and the Liaodong City is under the control of our Tang Dynasty. Isn't it expected?"

As he said that, Li Su turned around and went back to the barracks and continued to sleep.

After sleeping until dawn, the energetic Li Su yawned and opened the curtain of the barracks. She saw a white snow scene. Last night, there was a heavy snowfall. A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. The snow was covered on the ground, which was dazzlingly white.

Fang Laowu came over at the right time and handed Li Su a military newspaper.

At this time, the complete battle report had been counted and recorded in the text, which was known to all generals and civil servants in the army.

After the Liaodong City was broken yesterday, the defenders' resistance was still very tenacious. Street battles, street fighting, and any angle in the city became the battlefield for fighting between the two sides. The process of eliminating the remaining enemies after the Tang army entered the city was not easy, and even paid a great price for casualties. It took a lot of effort to eliminate all the remaining enemies.

The biggest gain of this battle was that it annihilated more than 60,000 Goguryeo defenders. All the remaining defenders fled out of the city. At the same time, they also captured Gao Huizhen, the southern part of Goguryeo, and nearly 100 subordinates. In addition, more than 20,000 guard soldiers were captured alive. In short, in the battle of Liaodong City, Goguryeo was defeated and paid the price of more than 100,000 losses. For a small country, this result was tantamount to a serious defeat that was damaged.

Next, Li Shimin's handling of Liaodong City was also very simple and crude. After the war report was announced, Li Shimin issued an order that all 20,000 Goguryeo defenders who were captured alive were killed, and Gao Huizhen, the southern part of the country was imprisoned. After destroying Goguryeo, he took him back to Chang'an. At the same time, the soldiers of the three armies were allowed to massacre the city of Liaodong City for three days. During these three days, the soldiers of the Tang army could slaughter the people in Liaodong City at will, loot their property, and even punish their women. No matter how outrageous the evil deeds they did to this city, they would not be investigated.

The next three days became a carnival for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the bad news about the surviving people in Liaodong City.

Li Su could not stop all this from happening. For both sides of the war, it was natural to massacre the city after conquering a city. During the war, the lives of the people were not as good as grass. This is a cruel fact. Li Su could not change it, and could only ignore it and dare not even think about it.
