"Before dark?"

Li Ji, Cheng Zhijie and others were startled again.

"It just so happened that the army had a good rest overnight, and the attack will start early tomorrow morning!"

Li Xuan said calmly.

"Yes, Chief Manager!"

Everyone stood up and took orders.

Half an hour later, the army set off.

Pyongyang City.

After the nearest Nine Cities soldiers entered the city, Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu felt relaxed for a while.

Although these [-] soldiers had been traveling all night, they were exhausted for two days and two nights, and they fell asleep after entering the city.

However, it is always their pawns.

Even if the Tang Dynasty's [-] troops came to attack, they still had the confidence to defend.

You know, generally attacking a city does not require more than twice the number of people, and after the city is ready, there is basically no possibility of success!

Now, Yuan Gai Suwen is still looking forward to what the Tang army will bring.

Until the evening hours.

It was getting dark, and only came in to report in a hurry.

"My lord, the army of the Tang army has appeared outside the east city!"

Hearing this, Yuan Gai Suwen was overjoyed and asked hastily.

"how many people?"

"Master, there are 4 people!"

The scout replied.

"forty thousand?"

Hearing this, Yuan Gai Suwen and the generals below were all in shock.

"forty thousand?"

"Returning to my lord, the villain checked very carefully, and the Tang army didn't have any intention of covering up, it is indeed [-] Tang army!" The scout hurriedly replied.

"It's only [-]!"

Hearing this, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help feeling angry.

"Arrogance, there are only [-] soldiers, and they dare to attack my Goguryeo royal city!"

"Exactly, my lord, that King Jin of the Tang Dynasty is extremely arrogant. You don't need your lord to step out, the last general can lead the troops of your army and capture that King Jin of the Tang Dynasty under your lord's feet!"

"My lord, shall we take the initiative to attack, and take advantage of the fact that the Tang army has not set up camp and has yet to gain a firm foothold, our army will directly attack and annihilate the Tang army outside the city in one fell swoop?"

All the generals of Goguryeo were also full of resentment.

From their point of view, the actions of King Jin of the Great Tang Dynasty were not only arrogant, but also a contempt and insult to them.

"Humph!"

Yuan Gai Suwen snorted coldly and said, "There is no need to do that!"

"It took the Tang army two days to arrive at Wangcheng from Yashan Harbor, sixty miles away. In this way, they must have taken precautions.

Tonight, there is no need to attack the camp.

Tomorrow, my lord will personally lead the army out of the city, and I will cut off the head of King Jin with my own hands and make it into a chamber pot! "

"Follow your orders!"

Seeing Yuan Gai Suwen getting angry, all the generals couldn't help expressing their expressions, and hurriedly bowed their hands in response.

And in Li Xuan's barracks.

After the army arrived outside Pyongyang.

Set up camp ten miles away from Pyongyang City. Standing in front of the camp, you can see the soldiers on the Pyongyang City Wall.

The attitude can be described as extremely arrogant.

Unfortunately, Cheng Zhijie waited for half an hour with Cheng Chusi, Xue Rengui and others, but still did not see any movement in Pyongyang.

Chapter 671 Fire and Thunder Come to the World?

Instead, the four gates of Pyongyang City have been tightly closed.

In desperation, he could only return to the camp.

Afterwards, Li Xuan took Xue Rengui and others to make several traps with bombs around the camp.

Leaving a team of night watch soldiers, everyone began to fall asleep!

All night.

The next day, early in the morning.

Drums and thunder.

The army slowly came out of the camp.

Li Xuan, Li Ji, Cheng Zhijie and others stood at the forefront.

"I didn't expect that this Goguryeo royal city is so low?"

Li Xuan sneered as he looked at the Goguryeo Royal City, which was at most only half the height of Chang'an City Wall.

"Chairman, besides the Tang Dynasty, there is such a tall city, it is already very good!"

Cheng Zhijie grinned and laughed.

"No matter what, blow it up today!"

Li Xuan said coldly, at this time, these city walls, except for Chang'an City, are probably built with rammed earth in the middle and surrounded by bricks on both sides.

If it is serious bombing, a few bombs will blow up a gap.

But if it is placed under the city gate...

Li Xuan rubbed his chin subconsciously, wondering if this door can withstand a bomb!

creak~

Just as Li Xuan was thinking, the two large wooden doors at the gate of Pyongyang city were slowly opened.

Then, a group of soldiers and horses filed out from inside.

The first general, with golden light on his body, looks like a shining golden man.

Li Xuan took a look, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Who is this person who wears armor made of gold?"

On the side, Li Ji thought about it for a while, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Back to the chief manager, it is said that in Goguryeo, there was a powerful official who was capable of both literature and martial arts.

He was also the leader of the Shunnu tribe among the five tribes of Goguryeo. Not only did he control more than half of the generals in Goguryeo, he was also the prime minister of Goguryeo.Moreover, this person wears five precious swords at all times, and all the dignitaries in Goguryeo dare not look directly at this person.

Even, seeing this person, some dignitaries were so frightened that they fell to the ground and saluted!When going in and out of the palace, the prince will always follow him, even Gao Jianwu, the Rongliu Wang, can't afford to provoke this person! "

"I didn't expect to be a national thief of Goguryeo!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan chuckled lightly.

"Today, this king will take care of Gao Jianwu and get rid of the country's thieves!"

On the side, Cheng Zhijie and Li Ji nodded in agreement.

"This time, Goguryeo is able to unite with Tubo and other countries to conquer our Tang Dynasty, and this thief has made a lot of effort!"

"Send the order, catapults, arrow bombs, and prepare for hand throwing bombs!"

Li Xuan said coldly.

"Yes, Chief Manager!"

Cheng Zhijie and Li Ji all responded in unison.

Immediately, military orders were passed down one after another.

Suddenly, Li Xuan suddenly saw that Yuan Gai Suwen, who was on the opposite side, walked out of the army formation and walked towards them by himself.

In fact, under the sun's rays, this person's whole body is even more golden, and it is impossible for people not to pay attention.

When Yuan Gai Su Wen walked a hundred steps in front of Li Xuan, he stopped.

"I don't know who is His Royal Highness King Jin of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Find me?"

Hearing the name-calling, Li Xuan was taken aback.

At this time, Zheng Fu behind him had already handed over a big iron horn.

"My lord, this thief probably wants to call you a general!"

"Want to challenge me one-on-one?"

Now, Li Xuan understood.

Putting the iron horn to his mouth, he shouted directly: "This is the king. What do you, a Goguryeo thief, want to do with this king? Don't you want to dedicate all your belongings to this king to beg for my forgiveness?"

The voice was so loud that all the soldiers of the two armies could hear it clearly.

Hearing this, Yuan Gai Suwen's face darkened.

"Er Datang broke his promise and indulged all the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty to lead private soldiers to attack my Goguryeo city, what face do you have to accuse me?

Today, my lord heard that you are a person who has been dead for more than ten years, and you can still climb out of the coffin again.

My lord just wants to see for himself whether you are a human or a ghost.

Then, twist off your head and use it as a chamber pot for my lord! "

Saying that, Yuan Gai Suwen smiled ferociously, "You bastard, how dare you fight me?"

"What's the benefit of fighting with you?"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but startled.

He never expected that when the two armies were fighting against each other, he would still insult the King Jin of the Tang Dynasty like this, and this son was still so timid!

"Mice, you are as timid as a mouse, what qualifications do you have to lead the army..."

"Okay, stop nagging, what is this king's status, and what is your status as a national thief hozen? If you want to invite this king to fight with you, you will not get any benefits. It is really more shameful than being a national thief!"

As he spoke, Li Xuan waved his hand.

"Today, this king will let you wait for the hozen to taste the fire and thunder from the sky!"

Not waiting for Yuan Gai Suwen's reaction.

Li Xuan shouted again: "Hand bombs, arrow bombs, and catapults, let me release them at the same time!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Xue Rengui, Li Chongyi and others who had already prepared gave orders directly.

First, small black iron balls were thrown directly at Yuan Gai Su Wen.

Immediately afterwards, there were overwhelming arrows.

After that, there are a lot of big iron balls emitting green smoke.

"With these little tricks, you still want to attack my Goguryeo King City..."

A trace of contempt flashed across Yuan Gai Suwen's face.

At the same time, ordered: "Royal!"
