Chapter 602

A respected person?

When he first heard this word, Su Cheng was also stunned, because when he thought of being highly respected, he thought of bad old men like Li Jing and Fang Xuanling.

However, if you think about it carefully, he, Su Cheng, can barely be regarded as a highly respected person in Chang'an, at least more reliable than Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

Thinking of the downfall of Li Yun's family, he was afraid that there would be no suitable person, Su Cheng said with a smile: "I can barely get along with people who are highly respected. When you set a date and tell me, I will go with you!"

Li Yun trembled excitedly: "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"

"Okay, what a big deal, hurry home and get ready, don't hold the tree here in the winter!" Su Cheng joked a few words, then flattered the horse and left.

Li Yun bowed deeply towards Su Chengyuan's back.

Great kindness and great virtue, keep in mind.

In Gaochang State, the cold wind was piercing to the bone, and the sound of shouting and killing filled the field.

On this vast land, a great battle is drawing to a close.

The king's flag of Gaochang Kingdom had already fallen to the ground, covered in blood.

Hou Junji waved his spear and shouted loudly: "The whole army pursues! Capture King Gaochang alive!"

"Capture King Gaochang alive!"

"Capture King Gaochang alive!"

The army of Gaochang Kingdom has been defeated like a mountain, and the king of Gaochang is running away at the head of the horse!

All the impassionedness when he came here has been left behind, and now King Gaochang has only one thought, which is to flee back to the king's city as soon as possible, and then pack up the gold and silver and flee to Western Turkic for refuge.

After Datang's army retreats, then I will ask Western Turks to help him restore his country!

However, what frightened him was that Tang Jun was chasing after him!

He really wanted to turn around and ask, are you not tired?

You have traveled thousands of miles from the Tang Dynasty, you have worked hard on expeditions, you have braved the severe cold to fight all the way, you have already won the battle, why are you still like wolves and tigers?

Don't you just stop and take a break?Give me a chance to escape, okay?

What made him extremely regretful was that in order to show his bravery to the people in Wangcheng, he chose the location of the decisive battle very close to Wangcheng.

Of course, part of the reason was because he didn't want to trek too far, because the weather was too cold and the march was too tiring.

But now, his intestines are turning green with regret.

Don't give him a chance to pack up and escape!

"Quick! Quick! Open the city gate!" shouted the palace guard.

The city gate opened, and King Gaochang rushed in first.

"Quick! Close the city gate!" King Gaochang shouted.

"Your Majesty, there are still many soldiers who have not entered the city!" a general advised.

"Didn't you see that the Tang army is coming? If you don't close the gate, they will rush in! Close the gate!" King Gaochang shouted violently.

The city gate was slowly closed, shutting some of the scattered soldiers outside the royal city. They looked at the closed city gate and immediately despaired.

The cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty who were chasing up didn't know how to show mercy, they chased and killed these Gaochang soldiers wantonly.

Seeing this scene, the defenders on the king's city were angry and felt sorry for them.

The Tang army who was chasing finally slowed down, and the Wangcheng was in front of them. As long as the Wangcheng was broken, Gaochang Kingdom would be destroyed!

A small Gaochang royal city, not to mention Chang'an and Luoyang, is not even comparable to the state city of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at this royal city, Hou Junji couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's a pity, it would be great if there was a cannon, breaking the city is easy!"

Even without cannons, it would not be difficult to break through the city, but after Hou Junji tried the power of muskets, he became more and more curious about the power of cannons.

How cool would it be to have a cannon now?

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "Actually, our father-in-law also thought about whether to bring a cannon, but he thought that Gaochang Kingdom was too far away, so he didn't bring it in the end!"

Hou Junji was very regretful when he heard this: "It's a pity, doesn't the Firearms Supervision have a special bullock cart for transporting artillery? It's not troublesome to bring one."

After several battles in succession, Xue Wanche and other generals have already looked forward to the muskets with admiration, and they are even more looking forward to the artillery.

Especially for these generals who have never seen cannons before, they heard the discussions of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion along the way, and their saliva was left behind.

Unfortunately, there are no cannons!

However, even without cannons, it would not be difficult to capture Gaochang King City.

Xue Wanche laughed and said, "Even if there is no cannon, it is not difficult to capture Gaochang King City!"

Hou Junji laughed loudly and said: "That's right, King Gaochang is scared out of his wits, the generals of Gaochang have lost their morale, it's not difficult to break the city!"

"Today, this commander is going to attack the king's city! Order to surround three walls and leave one wall for King Gaochang to escape!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing. King Gaochang was obviously scared out of his wits, and he probably didn't have the determination to live and die with the city. If he left a city gate, King Gaochang might not be able to resist the temptation and fled to West Turkic.

"Xue Wanche, you three thousand cavalry ambushed ten miles away and captured King Gaochang alive!" Hou Junji ordered.

"Obey!" Xue Wanche immediately ordered [-] cavalry to fly in and fly away. If King Gaochang was captured alive, it would definitely be a great achievement. Of course, the premise is that King Gaochang escaped from the city.

As long as King Gaochang escapes, even if he catches up with the Western Turks, he will capture King Gaochang alive.

The Tang army dispersed and surrounded the city walls on three sides.

There is a saying in the book of war, if it is ten, it will be surrounded, if it is five, it will be attacked, and if it is doubled, it will be divided.

Although the strength of the Tang army was not as large as that of the guards of the Wangcheng, they brazenly surrounded the walls on three sides of the Wangcheng.

A moment ago, the entire royal city was still immersed in the atmosphere of celebration. Everyone was waiting for the triumphant return of the king. What they never expected were the defeated soldiers who fled back in embarrassment and the Tang army who came after them.

Just like a basin of ice water poured down from the head in the twelfth lunar month, everyone in the royal city was trembling, and the Tang army actually surrounded the entire royal city!

Can the defenders hold the city?

King Gaochang who entered the city sternly ordered: "If you pass on the order, you must guard the city gate!"

After giving the order, King Gaochang rushed into the palace immediately, and repeatedly ordered: "Hurry up, gather all the palace guards and cavalry, and pack up all the gold and silver treasures of this king!"

The generals next to him were shocked when they heard this, is the king going to abandon the city and flee?

"Your Majesty, we have more soldiers than the Tang army. As long as we stick to the city, we will definitely be able to repel the Tang army! We have enough food, and the Tang Dynasty can't last long after coming from afar!"

After hearing this, King Gaochang raised his foot and kicked the general, cursing and saying: "We have food, but the Tang army has no food? Wouldn't they snatch it without food? Is it useful to have more people? If there are more people, you still lose." gone?"

"Don't you know how powerful Tang Jun is? Everyone is like a wolf like a tiger, his mother is not human! And Tang Jun's cracking thing, who can stand it?"
