The fifth year of Zhenguan, October.

More than 300,000 Tang and Hu coalition forces commanded by Li Shimin crossed the river and began to attack Changbai Mountain. In the same month, Niu Jinda led 100,000 Tang Xin coalition forces to the north, wiped out 30,000 Goguryeo defenders on the bank of the Han River, and headed straight to Pyongyang.

Because Goguryeo's defense system was all placed in the north and west, it was focused on the Tang Dynasty, except for tens of thousands of defenders in the south, Niu Jinda was just paper-paste for Niu Jinda, and there was no natural heroic pass like Changbai Mountain. Therefore, Niu Jinda was almost advancing forward at a speed of hundreds of miles a day.

If nothing unexpected happens, at most one month, Niu Jinda and the others will be able to reach the city of Pyongyang.

Now Goguryeo has overdrawn its national strength to the limit. The country is already in decline and has conquered an army of nearly 300,000. The people are basically on the verge of being unable to survive.

But at this time, the ethnic conflicts in their country were noisy again. This man had a big temper when he couldn't afford to be happy, and the ethnic storm north of the Yalu River irresistible to them.

North of the Yalu River, this place is not the former place of the Han Dynasty, so the proportion of Han people is much smaller. However, Goguryeo has been established for hundreds of years and is also a multi-ethnic country. No matter how few Han people are, there is a proportion of one or two.

Those helpless people easily vented their anger on the Han people, which forced the Han people to join forces and escape into the mountains and rebels under the instigation of the Tang Dynasty spies.

What is even more uncomfortable is that those who have long been unable to tell whether they are Fuyu or Han people. You should know that the East Asian races are not very different in appearance. In addition, those who are mixed-race and live in mixed families, as long as they don’t say they are Han people, how can they be distinguished?

These people did not escape into the mountains, but were more terrifying than those Han people who were rebelling under the banner, because most of them had been rebelled by the Fengyan Yamen of the Tang Dynasty.

With a great enemy in front of you, what is the experience of one or two people in the country thinking about surrendering to the enemy?

In short, Goguryeo's troops are now stretched and even new recruits cannot be recruited.

In the area of ​​Wujiang, there are only tens of thousands of people who can squeeze out in full swing, and there are many new recruits, which do not even have a numerical advantage compared to Niu Jinda.

The vast plains are endless, and some artificial walls cannot give them any sense of security.

As for the transfer of Changbai Mountain defenders to the south, they never thought about this. Li Shimin was much more powerful than Niu Jinda.

Gao Jianwu walked out of the royal city and looked at the scenery outside.

The west is dusk.

All they can do now is to mobilize the last defenders to deploy defenses on the Pyongyang South Line. It will take a day to drag them out. What if there is a super snow tomorrow, the Tang army, who is afraid of the cold, will be frozen to death?

If Gao Jianwu knew that among the 300 masters he had found Qixue, there were 100 spies from the Tang Dynasty. He was silently reciting the snow on his mother, and I wonder what it would feel like.

Just as the 100,000 troops gathered on the southern line of Pyongyang, Gao Jianwu heard the news that Prince Li Daozong of Jiangxia of the Tang Dynasty and Qin Hao, the Marquis of Deyang, came from the sea to attack Shicheng on the northern line of Pyongyang. He immediately squirted out blood and became dizzy after a while.

Fighting on three sides! The Tang Dynasty actually dared to fight on three sides!

…………

When Qin Hao got off the boat, his heart was beating like a hundred meters race. Although there was a great cavalry commander like Li Daozong to protect him, it was a battlefield, and his legs were already a little weak. Otherwise, Sun Er, who was by his side, had been secretly supporting him, probably he would have made a fool of himself.

Fortunately, the progress was still smooth. Li Shimin had already regarded the navy as his own flesh. How could he hand over the hard bones to them? When they were at the city, the nearby spies reported that there were only more than 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city. The army had already gone to the southern line of Pyongyang to block Niu Jinda.

It is easy to go out and it is difficult to come back. With Li Daozong protecting Qin Hao, even if there are tens of thousands of people returning to help, Goguryeo can only kneel down.

What surprised him even more was that before he could set up a camp, local Han guerrillas came to join them, and the leader was the brothers from the Fengyan Yamen he had led before.

This is really a timely help. Qin Hao hugged his old subordinate and patted his shoulder desperately. He was so moved.

In the next three days, more than a dozen waves of local Han guerrillas came to join him one after another, with a small number of seven or eight hundred people and a large number of three or two thousand people. In a blink of an eye, Qin Hao actually had an additional army of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in his hands, which made Qin Hao himself a little confused.

On the contrary, Li Daozong didn't look surprised, as if he had already expected it.

Qin Hao could not understand at this time. Li Shimin and the others had already calculated these things, and they were at least 70% sure. It was right to plot against him, but they were smashing him with pies.

Although there are tens of thousands of people, although their combat power is not very good, how could a famous general like Li Daozong only use cavalry? It doesn’t matter whether his navy is on the shore. When Li Daozong appeared, Shicheng was already a treasure in the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why Qin Hao was to get over was to throw this great contribution on his head.

Qin Hao played a role in Goguryeo's battle. The higher the level the boss saw, the more thoroughly he saw. His military achievements were even better than those of Li Jie who broke through the Great Wall and Niu Jinda who opened up the second battlefield. Even the important naval army was built from scratch without spending a penny in the court.

Therefore, Li Shimin had the idea of ​​appointing him as a Duke after the war. Even Qin Hao's contribution was more than enough to exchange a Duke for another, and those big guys had no objection.

However, the boss has no objection, which does not mean that the people below have no objection. In the eyes of many people below, Qin Hao is almost a so-called role this time. He has never fought a tough battle except for transporting grain, troop and supplies. When will the transport brigade leader be the Duke?

In order to convince the public, and Qin Hao voluntarily gave up military power, Li Shimin was actually relieved and guilty, so he turned the credit into a pie and threw it into his mouth. He didn't know that Qin Hao wouldn't fight at all.

As for Li Daozong who suffered losses, he doesn't care. After all, he is a clan relative and his title is a prince. As long as he is still the best among clan relatives, his status in the Tang Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai. When he can't be beaten, he will definitely join the Tang Federal Reserve. It is a good deal for him to sell Qin Hao as a favor now.

Now, Qin Hao, who had been nervous for several days, finally became energetic again. He took a simple microphone to protest and persuade the surrender in Shicheng City. As a result, before he could get close, the guy's legs trembled again. If there was an archer or something like that in the city, wouldn't he kneel? That would be so unfair.

So Qin Hao stuffed the microphone into Pei Xingjian's hand, "Go, leave this battle to you. Brother, believe in you and wait for the good news of your victory."
