Chapter 73 Then, take his head with you!

"kill!"

The roaring sound resounded through the sky!
A team suddenly rushed into the battlefield from the right corner!
The leader was none other than Lieutenant General Zhang who had disappeared for many days!

On that day, Gao Changsheng divided his troops into several routes and attacked Changkou, Donggu, Zhanghe and other places successively.

But Lieutenant General Zhang was not among them.

Following Gao Changsheng's order, Lieutenant General Zhang led a thousand of them, changed into the clothes of Goryeo people brought from the inner city, and sneaked into Pyongyang ahead of time.

Of course, Gao Changsheng’s original intention was not to get them to cooperate in the siege.

He already had a plan in mind for the battle of Pyongyang.

After transferring the garrison troops from Changkou and other places and capturing tens of thousands of troops.

Especially since Yeon Gaesomun was also killed, the difficulty of attacking Pyongyang City was greatly reduced.

As he intended!
The role of Lieutenant General Zhang's thousand men is to serve as a backup.

It was for the Goryeo Palace in front of us.

If the support from the Sui Dynasty does not arrive on time as planned.

Then Gao Changsheng would have to find other ways to deal with Goryeo's national destiny.

Although one thousand people are not many, they are a great supplement.

Even if it goes according to plan, we can use the power to break the destiny of Goryeo.

The Goryeo Royal Palace is located there, so it is impossible that there is no defense.

In that case, these one thousand people would undoubtedly become a crucial means.

"Brush! Brush! Brush!"

As soon as a thousand people appeared, they began to draw their bows and pull strings!
Together with the cavalry of the main camp, arrows rained down on the Goryeo army.

The Goryeo army's originally rapid speed suddenly slowed down!
See this situation!

Gao Changsheng didn't hesitate at all!

Raise your right hand decisively!

"Attack! Kill!"

"boom!"

These two simple words are like the spark that ignites gunpowder!
The whole team exploded instantly!

"Follow the general and kill!"

Deputy General Zhang also shouted at the same time!
Unlike the other two, he has not had a single fight since entering Pyongyang, and he has been feeling depressed for a long time.

In order to sneak into the city, the original one thousand cavalrymen were forced to abandon their horses and become infantry.

But at this time, the momentum of the charge of these thousand people was not much slower than that of the cavalry.

"boom!"

The two teams collided like Mars hitting the Earth.

But judging from the momentum!
Although the Goryeo soldiers outnumbered them, it was obvious that they had been completely suppressed!
Just like Fu Jun'er's three thousand men back then, although this guard army was impressive, its reactions in subtle details were too slow.

Especially when two armies meet.

Faced with the charge led by Gao Changsheng's army, the Goryeo army was unable to organize an effective response.

In just one encounter, the eight thousand guards were directly defeated.

However, this time, Gao Changsheng did not turn around and continue charging like Luo Cheng did.

This place is not a plain. Although the open space is not small, it is not big enough for two cavalry units to charge back and forth.

"Divide, strangle, and annihilate the enemy!"

Gao Changsheng took a quick look at the battle situation and quickly shouted.

At this time, Lieutenant General Zhang's thousand soldiers, led by him, also broke into the enemy camp and encountered Gao Changsheng at the front.

If you look down from above at this time, you can see it clearly.

Eight thousand Goryeo soldiers formed a huge circle in the square.

Gao Changsheng's cavalry were like arrows, cutting the enemy in half.

Lieutenant General Zhang's army inserted from the right side and formed a huge T-shape with the cavalry, dividing the Goryeo army into three parts.

As Gao Changsheng's voice fell, three thousand cavalrymen quickly began to move away.

In just a moment, with a thousand infantrymen as the base, they quickly formed an encirclement around the two small Goryeo tribes.

"kill!"

Deputy General Zhang let out a loud roar of ecstasy.

Gao Changsheng's cavalry, surrounded from outside, undoubtedly completely restricted the cavalry's mobility.

Moreover, most of them were divided up and the Goryeo army was in a panic. This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for them.

Such an opportunity to reap the rewards is something that even a fool would not let go, let alone a brave general like Lieutenant General Zhang.

"Stab! Stab!"

The cavalry, without clear command, being divided and surrounded piece by piece, and completely losing their impact power, are actually no different from lambs to be slaughtered.

At this time, the Goryeo soldiers in front of the palace gate were in exactly this situation.

The sound of knife cutting was endless.

Many Goryeo soldiers didn't even have time to see the surrounding scenery clearly before they were beheaded in the panic.

Under the excited shouts and continuous attacks of the Sui army, the Goryeo soldiers fell down in large numbers like straw in the wind.

"Hahaha, so happy! So happy!"

Deputy General Zhang wiped his face with his left hand, not paying any attention to the fact that his hand was already covered in blood. "Let's go! Enter the palace!"

Gao Changsheng waved his hand lightly and ignored the mountain of corpses.

"Enter the palace! Enter the palace!"

The soldiers behind him also shouted at the same time!
The army rushed in through the open palace gate.

"General! General!"

It didn't take long for them to break into the palace!
On the other side, there was also a group of people galloping towards them!
"General, you are wise. The King of Goryeo is indeed planning to escape, and he has nearly a thousand soldiers at his disposal!"

"But just as he left the palace, he ran into me. Vice General Wang was also patrolling nearby. He was defeated and retreated back to the palace!"

The person who spoke was Lieutenant General Li who had left earlier, and Lieutenant General Wang, who was ordered to sweep Pyongyang, was on the other side of him.

"General, they should be hiding in those halls now!"

Lieutenant General Li raised his hand and pointed forward.

In fact, he didn't need to say much, Gao Changsheng had already seen the soldiers on guard in front of the palace.

Having survived mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they naturally would not be scared by these thousand or so soldiers.

"kill!"

Gao Changsheng didn't waste any words. In fact, at this point, there was no need to say anything more.

The three lieutenants stepped forward in response, and the surrounding soldiers quickly surrounded them.

At the moment the soldiers attacked, Gao Changsheng also urged his mount at the same time.

And when the shouts and screams all around died down, Gao Changsheng just arrived in front of the hall.

He rode his horse across the blood-soaked water, pulled himself out of the water, and just stepped into the hall.

Just as his footsteps touched the ground, the last enemy soldier outside the hall also fell down.

"crunch..."

The palace door slowly opened!

What comes into view is the old man sitting on the dragon throne holding the jade seal.

"It's Gao Yuan, haha, it's Gao Yuan!"

"We captured the Goryeo King!"

"Hahaha, the general is mighty!"

The army shouted in unison, and the sound echoed throughout the city!
Countless people in the city also realized something at this moment.

"Thief, thief, how dare you be so rude to me!"

Gao Yuan was trembling all over, but he still managed to roar wildly.

Upon hearing this, several deputy generals sneered in disdain.

Gao Changsheng didn't even look at Gao Yuan. He just took a few steps forward and then turned around to speak.

"Arrange soldiers to take over the palace. You can choose the property and jewelry as you like. However, military discipline is as strict as a mountain. Do not make any moves that you shouldn't make!"

Gao Changsheng's voice was cold and clear. Several people nodded hurriedly when they heard it. They were all veterans in the army and naturally knew a lot about some things.

"How dare you!" Gao Yuan behind him roared miserably.

Gao Changsheng turned around suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared in his eyes, and Gao Yuan was hit hard and fell on the dragon throne.

After finishing, Gao Changsheng turned around again and spoke seriously:
"Wang Yong! Zhang Wei! Li Hang!"

"The general is here!"

"The three of you will set out immediately, bringing with you the Korean surrendered soldiers and our Sui cavalry. Each of you only needs 500 soldiers!"

"I will give you the heads of Goryeo King Go Won and Yeon Gaesomun. Please conquer the surrounding cities as quickly as possible!"

"As for distance, I will not give you a deadly task. We will capture as many cities as we can and push as far as we can."

"But there are two points. The two lines of defense along Changkou and Yalu River must be taken!"

The Yalu River was Goryeo's most important line of defense against attacks. Now that they have broken through Pyongyang and destroyed Goryeo, there are still hundreds of thousands of Goryeo troops on the front line in Liaodong.

Once you look back, you will naturally be in a lot of trouble.

It can be said that Gao Changsheng and Gao Li have swapped roles now.

As for Changkou, it is an important coastal defense line. Once it is taken, the Sui army can directly transfer troops from Donglai and march straight into Goryeo.

Of course, Gao Changsheng would definitely not sit quietly in Pyongyang, waiting for the Goryeo army to attack, or waiting for the Sui army to come to the rescue.

"I understand! I will live up to the general's expectations and take over the two areas!" Several people received the military order at the same time.

"General, we have kept Yeon Gaesomun's head, but I'm afraid Gao Yuan's condition cannot withstand a long journey!" Lieutenant General Li said hesitantly.

Gao Changsheng turned around and found that it was indeed the case.

Gao Yuan was already old, and first he encountered the backlash of the country's fortune, then he was attacked by Gao Changsheng, and then he was frightened.

Not to mention a long journey, even being able to stand up at this time would be a problem.

"Simple!"

Gao Changsheng shook his head: "Since I can't take people with me, it's the same if I take their heads with me!"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan, who was slumped powerlessly on the dragon throne, suddenly opened his eyes in anger.

But all he saw was a flash of white knife light.

"Woo..."

Above the palace, the Goryeo golden dragon, which had already become extremely illusory, suddenly let out a whimper.

The next second, it was torn into pieces by a dragon claw.
