Chastity Layman

Li Shimin rushed to Baiyan City.

Li Simo was shot in the waist by an arrow, seriously injured, and unconscious, so the forward Tang Jun stopped attacking the city. The emperor pulled everyone away, saw Li Simo covered in blood, and personally cleaned the wound for his brother-in-law.

"Beware of the poison on the arrow!"

According to the doctor's diagnosis, the Goguryeo people soaked the arrowhead in gold juice. The golden juice is feces. Human feces, cattle, horses, and livestock feces can be seen everywhere on the battlefield. Before the battle, collect some of these things and heat them to boil them to make golden juice. During the battle, you can directly pour them on the enemy, or you can put arrows on them. Dip it in.

The arrowhead soaked in gold juice will increase the chance of wound infection and inflammation. Although the ancients did not know the word inflammation and infection, they still knew the effect.

Although this kind of arrow is not as powerful as those that are applied with other poisons, it is better to take anywhere, and after being hit by this kind of arrow, the wound will indeed greatly increase the chance of infection. If it is not treated in time, the casualty rate will be greatly increased.

Li Simo was hit by an arrow in his waist, which was already seriously injured, and the arrow had been soaked in gold juice, so after a lot of hard work, it was obvious that the wound was red and swollen.

Li Shimin is also a seasoned veteran, after hearing this, he lowered his head without hesitation and sucked the blood from Li Simo's wound with his mouth.

"His Majesty!"

"No way!"

There were bursts of exclamations.

But the emperor still sucked the wound one mouthful after another, sucking the blood out and spitting it aside, sucking for a long time, sucking the blood from the wound, Li Shimin personally applied Jinchuang medicine for Li Simo and bandaged it, and then retreated to the side.

Qin Lang handed the emperor water to rinse his mouth.

I was also very surprised and admired.

"Send the county king to recuperate!"

Li Shimin rinsed his mouth, his face was extremely ugly.

"Command, attack the city."

"After the city is broken, all Goguryeo soldiers and civilians in the city will be rewarded as slaves, and all property will be rewarded to the soldiers!"

With this order, all the soldiers screamed.

Just now the emperor kissed Li Simo's wound, and now he offered such a touching reward, no one would be moved. Before conquering Liaodong City, everyone only shared half of the floating wealth of Liaodong City, and everyone has saved a lot of money under their names.

Although this Baiyan city is small, it is said that there are more than ten thousand soldiers and civilians.

Nearly 200,000 troops surrounded Baiyan City by dozens of layers, and it was impenetrable, and the sound of drumming shook the sky and the earth.

The emperor dispatched all the generals to unite the army and went to sweep the surrounding castles and fortresses. This time the emperor was really angry.

The emperor didn't care if he killed Gao Wenxin, but if he hurt Li Simo, it would be unforgivable.

Heavy equipment such as throwing carts and bed crossbows hadn't arrived for a while, but it was still very surprising that hundreds of thousands of Tang troops surrounded a white rock city and attacked wildly.

Baiyan City is a mountain city, very dangerous, but it is much worse than Liaodong City. Although Liaodong City is a flat city, it has trenches and tall walls, while Baiyan City is built on the mountain itself. Not very oblique.

Although the city wall is quite high, it can't hold back the many Tang soldiers. Except for the side facing the cliff, the other three sides are surrounded by people like ants.

Countless crossbowmen kept pouring their bows and arrows at the mountain.

Sun Daiyin was also frightened by this overwhelming and fierce offensive. He thought that he could watch and help Anshi because of the danger of the mountain city. Who would have expected that this posture would really feel like the ground is falling apart. possibility of being captured.

After only persisting for less than half a day, Sun Daiyin erected a white flag on the top of the city, and then sent envoys to the foot of the mountain to ask for surrender.

"Bai Yan is willing to surrender!"

Li Shimin wanted to kill Sun Daiyin at this moment, but when he heard that the city was willing to surrender, he still suppressed his anger.

"Okay, I'll give Sun Daiyin a chance!"

Now Cheng Yaojin couldn't stand it any longer, so he hurried to remonstrate.

"Saint, absolutely not."

"Soldiers fight for arrows and stones, regardless of life and death. The city is about to fall, but they accept the surrender instead. Wouldn't it be cold to the soldiers?"

"Once the morale of the army is let down, it will be difficult to gather next time."

Li Shimin said, "I just can't bear the sacrifice of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in vain. Now that Baiyan City is willing to surrender, I can bear the casualties of many soldiers."

Yu Chigong also persuaded, "But the sage had previously promised to distribute all the money and wealth of the population of Baiyan City to the soldiers, but now that he is surrendered, the soldiers will not be rewarded, I'm afraid they will feel dissatisfied."

Li Shimin pondered.

After accepting the surrender, you can't keep your word and reward the soldiers and civilians in Baiyan City as slaves to divide up the property in the city, right?

The emperor looked at Qin Lang.

"I have a suggestion. If Sun Dai Yinguo is really willing to surrender, it will indeed reduce many unnecessary casualties, but you should also have faith in the promise of rewards to the soldiers. After the enemy leaves the city and surrenders, the sage can withdraw a considerable sum from the treasury. To distribute the money to the soldiers, so that the best of both worlds can be achieved.”

Changsun Wuji objected, thinking that these soldiers should not be too arrogant, as there is no reason for the imperial court to fill this hole with money from the treasury.

Li Shimin waved his hand.

"I will reward it with the funds from my internal treasury, and redeem this city!"

However, Changsun Wuji still expressed his objection, "Even if Baiyan City is surrendered, it can be considered according to Liaodong City, and it should not be given such preferential treatment. Besides, will it hurt my general? After the city is opened, Sun Daiyin will be beheaded, and the soldiers defending the city will still be sold. As a slave, only the people in the city can be exempted from prosecution!"

The monarch and his ministers are in dispute.

In the end, Li Shimin decided to grant Sun Daiyin the rank of guerrilla general of the fifth rank, and the soldiers and civilians in Baiyan City were exempted from being slaves because they voluntarily surrendered, and all moved to the Central Plains for resettlement.

"If Sun Daiyin is able to surrender, then this Tang flag will be erected on the city tower, and the city gate will be opened to surrender. If he resists and does not surrender, after the city is broken, those who hold weapons will be slaves!"

The envoy returned to the city with the Tang flag bestowed by the emperor.

Sun Daiyin and other city guards frowned after hearing the envoy's words.

They all agreed to surrender and surrender, and they ended up like this?

Relocating to the Central Plains is considered the best treatment?

This is different from what they imagined.

"I can't surrender. When we open the city, those Tang people will definitely renege on their promises. When the time comes, we will have no room left!"

"However, with our strength, how can we defend? Liaodong City's 100,000 defenders were all defeated in one battle." Sun Daiyin hesitated.

"Mo Lizhi has already dispatched reinforcements, and they should be here soon."

Another person said, "Today's frost is heavy, and the weather is getting colder and colder!"

"Yeah, it's going to snow soon."

"The Tang people won't stay for long."

Sun Daiyin hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed with everyone. He tore up the Tang flag and sent people to throw it into the city, expressing that he would stick to the end.

Li Shimin was furious when he heard that, and urged people to transport the lathe, bed and crossbow to attack the city as soon as possible.

······

Qibi Heli led 800 light cavalry along the Taizi River to the east, sweeping up the guards.

"Report!"

"A Liao army of about 10,000 was found in the east, and it seems to have come from the east for reinforcements."

When Qibi Heli heard this, he was very excited. He led his troops out and didn't meet any Goguryeo soldiers, so he was bored.

This general of the Tiele tribe was originally a Hu from outside the Great Wall. His grandfather once led the army against the Turks together with Yinan's grandfather, and he was called Khan.

When Qibi Heli was nine years old, his father Mohedutqin Qibige died, so he succeeded to the throne of Khan, and his title was later reduced to Daqi Lifa.

At the beginning of Zhenguan, he and his mother led 6,000 tents to Hexi to join the Tang Dynasty, and Qibi Heli was appointed as the general who led the left army. Since then, Qibi Heli has been fighting for the Tang Dynasty. He fought against Tuyuhun with Qin Lang, and conquered Gaochang with Cheng Yaojin.

Therefore, he was married to the head of Lintao County by the emperor. When the Tang Dynasty marched into the Western Regions, he led the Qibi tribe as the vanguard and recruited many Tiele tribes to return to the Tang Dynasty.

"Follow me to defeat the enemy!"

Lieutenant General Xue Wanbei reminded, "The enemy army is 10,000, and I only patrol 800 cavalry. There is a huge difference in strength. Why don't you go back and report to the saint?"

"So what about thousands of people? Does Goguryeo still have soldiers that can fight? I can defeat ten thousand enemies with eight hundred!" Qibi Heli decided to fight hard.

He led the 800 riders to advance instead of retreating, marched along the river, found a narrow terrain, and ambushed the 800 riders in the forest under the mountain, quietly waiting for the arrival of Goguryeo reinforcements.

More than ten thousand Goguryeo reinforcements rushed from the east, and were about to rush to Liaodong City for reinforcements, but they didn't know that Liaodong City had been captured at this time, and the Tang army was already besieging Baiyan City.

"kill!"

Qibi Heli let out a loud roar, and took the lead in attacking the Goguryeo army.

Eight hundred fine riders descended the mountain like a tiger.

The Koguryo army was caught off guard, and the two sides fought in a melee.

Qibi Heli led his subordinates to rush left and right, constantly cutting the Goguryeo army.

"Ahead is the general of the Goguryeo Army, come with me, kill the general and capture the flag!"

With the rise of killing, Qibi Heli ran directly to the flag of the enemy's central commander, rushing all the way, unstoppable.

The Goguryeo general on the opposite side didn't expect the Tang army to be so brave. A mere thousand or so soldiers dared to attack ten times as many troops as they had, but they were beaten and retreated steadily.

"Spear Array!"

The Goguryeo general saw the Tang cavalry rushing towards him, he couldn't help being frightened, so he could only shout and shout.

Countless spearmen moved closer to the flag, each with their spears standing upright.

Qibi Heli came all the way, swiping a Mo knife from left to right, and Goguryeo soldiers fell one after another along the way.

General Goguryeo stood under the flag, looked at this general, and couldn't help gnashing his teeth. He stared closely with his bow and arrow, and took advantage of his unpreparedness, suddenly shot his horse with an arrow.

Qibi Heli was killing and rushing, but unexpectedly, an arrow hit his mount. The war horse groaned and fell to its knees, Qi Bi was unstable.

Countless spears came from the slanting stab, and he swung left and right to block, but the horse had already fallen, and he was finally trapped in a tight siege.

A spear pierced through his bright armor, deep into the waist.

Qibi discarded the Mo knife, drew out the horizontal knife and continued to fight.

Xue Wanbei, who was in the distance, saw Qibi Heli falling off his horse, roared, and charged forward on his horse.

He single-handedly slashed a bloody road all the way, and killed Qibi Heli abruptly, "Let's go!"

Xue Wanbei pulled Qibi Heli onto his horse, waved the horse in his hand and rushed out again, cutting a bloody path.

The main general was injured, and Tang Qi retreated.

Xue Wanbei took Qibi Heli to the mountain, and Qibi looked at the Goguryeo army chasing them and surrounded them at the foot of the mountain, feeling extremely angry.

"Goguryeo boy, dare to sneak attack!"

After the wound was bandaged, Qibi Heli yelled, "Put on armor for me!"

"General? Don't fight any more, wait here for help."

"Fart, there is no reason to sit and wait for death, not to mention that a certain person was just injured by a shameless Liao thief's back arrow, come, put on my armor, and fight again with me!"

Qibi Heli put on his armor again, then changed his mount, got on his horse, and waved his sword, "Follow me and go down the mountain, charge!"

Qibi Heli took the lead again, Xue Wanbei could only follow closely behind, and the remaining six or seven hundred riders got on their horses one after another and galloped down the hillside.

The Goguryeo people never expected that hundreds of Tang cavalry chiefs were shot and retreated to the mountain, and they dared to charge again at this time.

Hundreds of Tang cavalry swooped down from the heights, relentlessly advancing, the Goguryeo army couldn't hold back, and retreated one after another. Qibi Heli led the army to kill the commander who shot him in the back.

Qi Bi led his army in hot pursuit all the way, and chased for thirty miles, and finally cut off the enemy general's banner and captured the enemy general alive.

Ten thousand Goguryeo reinforcements collapsed, and more than a thousand people were beheaded.

If it weren't for the darkness, there would be more victories.

Qibi Heli beheaded the general to capture the flag and go back, but the Goguryeo army was scattered in the mountains and no one dared to stop it.
