On the Korean Peninsula in August, on the banks of the Beijiang River.

Pyongyang City is busy and lively. The huge capital of Goguryeo has now become a hot construction site. On the towering walls, there are people everywhere in front of deep moats, and countless Goguryeo people are like ants.

"Pyongyang is known as Little Chang'an, and it has moved its capital here. After hundreds of years of construction, I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been spent. Now, more than 100,000 people have demolished and destroyed it so quickly." Wei Zheng stood on the southern gate of Pyongyang with a wine pot, watching the walls constantly fading.

"Building a city is difficult, but destroying a city is easy. It has always been like this. Destruction is always simpler and more crude than building." Luo Cheng looked at the big scene in front of him and sighed thousands of times.

A famous city that has been for centuries is being destroyed little by little under his command.

The Goguryeo military and civilians captured in Pyongyang City and the Goguryeo people who were divided into troops to sweep the outside of Pyongyang, had a population of nearly 200,000. Both young and young, men and women, at this time, they participated in the demolition of the city at the order of Luo Cheng.

All Goguryeo people had to participate in the destruction of the city. They were assigned tasks and could only get rations after they had done enough. Otherwise, they would have to go hungry and be beaten by whips.

For those who deliberately resisted, the Left Five Army was not hesitant to use a few heads to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Pyongyang City is similar to Liaodong City, which is a flat-duty city, not a mountain city.

Flat-dives are more suitable for capital because the place is flat and vast, can accommodate more people and is easier to live in. But Flat-dives also have some disadvantages, that is, the defense is definitely not as good as mountain cities.

It is easier to build a flat town, but it is easier to fold.

There are only a few gates and urns in Pyongyang City. The walls of other sections are basically built with rammed earth. Next to the walls is a wide and deep moat.

But now, countless Goguryeo prisoners pried open the stones and adobe on the city wall, pushed them down, and then took wooden carts to the moat and pushed them down to fill these rivers.

The city walls were quickly destroyed.

And the houses in the city are being dismantled.

If you can, you can dismantle it, fill it up as much as you can, and burn it, so that Pyongyang City will become a dead city.

Even the city of Pyongyang was erased from the original horizon.

All the animals stolen from Pyongyang and nearby were driven over. Those who could be used to transport stones and supplies were kept for the time being. All the remaining livestock were slaughtered and processed and made into meat floss.

The countless treasures and money collected from Pyongyang City were transported to the seaside, along the mouth of Beijiang River.

"The speed is still a little slower." Luo Cheng shook his head.

"It's not slow anymore. Look, it's only been demolished for three days, and all the gates of Pyongyang City have been demolished."

"It's not fast enough. The Goguryeo people may come back at any time. We must not return Pyongyang City to them. Speed ​​up!"

"If you're quicker, I'm afraid there will be many people going to die every day."

"Don't worry about dead people." The fourth brother said to the side with a cold face, "I will order urging and increase the task."

Wei Zheng suggested, "In case, I think I will first destroy the walls of each city and the city gate of the inner city of the outer city, and then break the walls of each city by breaking one gap at a time. The entire Pyongyang city wall cannot be demolished at one time, nor can the entire moat be filled together. It would be too slow. We use this new method to destroy the city. Even if the Goguryeo people come in advance, we can withdraw at any time. The Pyongyang city cannot be demolished, but it will also be demolished into a broken city with air leakage on all sides. If the Goguryeo people don't have a year or two, they will not be able to repair Pyongyang."

But Luo Cheng suddenly changed the subject.

"Lai Hu'er is also known as a famous general. Although he was defeated by Goguryeo's plan to lure the enemy, he lost 30,000 main combat soldiers, there was no reason to retreat in an instant."

"Maybe Lai Hu'er did not retreat at first, but just retreated near Beijiangkou. But later, maybe he heard the news of Yuwen Shu and the others' defeat, so he had to retreat." Wei Zheng reminded Luo Cheng with concern, "If Lai Hu'er really retreats, then we will be in trouble when we retreat south."

"At worst, we can withdraw to Baekje or Silla."

"The enemy's enemy is our friend, haha, the general is so free and easy."

August fifteenth.

Mid-Autumn Festival.

I am alone in a foreign land and miss my family more during the holidays.

The soldiers of the Left Five Army have been away from home for nearly two years. When they encounter days like Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone cannot help but miss their hometown and relatives.

In Pyongyang City, the morale of the Left Five Army is obviously not very high today.

Many soldiers who miss their relatives and are full of homesickness are particularly disliked by those Goguryeo people. In the early morning, hundreds of people were already beaten to death because they were not serious about their work.

Luo Cheng once again inspected the demolition project in Pyongyang City.

With their unremitting efforts, more than 17,000 soldiers of the Left Five Army, and nearly 200,000 Goguryeo prisoners, worked together to demolish them for so many days. The largest and most lively city of Pyongyang, once the largest and most lively in Liaodong, was already full of holes and could no longer see the appearance of the past.

The city gates before have become large gaps.

The urn city, the city gate, the sheep and horse wall, the enemy tower, the corner tower, and the archery platform have long disappeared. Even the high city wall has a large hole every 100 steps, and the deep and wide city protection has been filled with a road every other section.

As for the houses, shops, yamen and palaces in the city, all of them were burned down and pushed down.

Most of the wells in the city have been filled.

Another transport team is about to set off.

As many as thousands of horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, as well as countless trolleys, form a long dragon full of all kinds of money, food and supplies cleared from Pyongyang city.

"This is the last batch of supplies. Although there are still a lot, you said before that you wouldn't bring about the same things, so I have someone destroyed them on the spot."

"It hurts everyone. Such good cloth and grain are burned so much. There are so many furniture, farm tools and utensils, which is a pity."

"It's a pity that there is no way. We can't take so many things. Instead of leaving them to the Goguryeo people, I might as well burn them all. Leave them to the Goguryeo people, that is to support the enemy. Now we are trying our best to weaken our enemies, and this is war."

Wei Zheng nodded.

"The materials have been shipped away, and Pyongyang has almost been demolished. The Goguryeo army has not arrived yet. Will we continue demolishing them?"

Luo Cheng looked at the broken city, "Take away all the young and strong Goguryeo people, leaving 100,000 old, weak, women and children, and leave a soldier here, continue to urge them to destroy the city and provide them with limited food every day. Once the Goguryeo vanguard appeared two hundred miles north, the soldiers who stayed here immediately burned all the food and supplies here, and then threw them away and evacuate them."

Wei Zheng sighed.

"I don't know what kind of expression it would be when the Goguryeo army arrived here and saw the disappearing Pyongyang City, and I don't know how they would treat them after facing the 100,000 Goguryeo old, weak, women and children who were homeless, without food or clothing."
