Text Chapter 79: Capturing Yeon Gaesumun alive

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yeon Gaesooun fell to the ground and one of his legs was pinned down by a horse corpse. He finally managed to pull it out. Seeing the guards around him desperately defending him fall down one by one, he felt extremely resentful and grabbed an unmanned war horse next to him.  , just about to get on his horse and fight to the death with the Tang army who was just around the corner.

    But at this moment, Yeon Gaesumun suddenly heard a thunderous roar above his head, and at the same time, the guards around him also shouted warnings. He instinctively looked up, only to see a huge figure pressing down from above his head.  , judging from the opponent's size, it was the fierce general led by Tang Jun.

    It turned out that Huli was blocked by Yuan's pro-army. Seeing that Yuan Gaisuwen, who had been knocked off his horse, stood up unharmed, he felt very unwilling. At this time, the two were only ten feet away from each other, which gave Huli an opportunity to take advantage of.  , regardless of the situation, he jumped up from his horse and risked his life to capture Yeon Gaesumun alive.

    The unsuspecting Yeon Gae So-moon was also startled by the opponent's desperate move. He instinctively raised the big knife in his hand and wanted to stab the opponent to death, but was pushed aside by Hu Li with the weapon.  Then, the man and his armor weighed several hundred kilograms, all of which hit Yeon Gaesumun and the horses next to him.

    Under the powerful kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy, Yeon Gaesumun and his men and horses were knocked to the ground.  Even though Yeon Gaesumun was physically strong, he was still beaten so badly that his eyes were filled with stars.  But before he could recover, Huli had already stood up first, sweeping his long stick in his hand, beating the Yuan family soldiers who came to the rescue to death or injury, and then stretched out his hand to hold Yuan Gaisuwen under his arm.  Holding a stick in one hand to defend against the enemy, he strode towards his own team.

    Seeing that their general was captured, Yuan's soldiers seemed to be going crazy.  Countless people surrounded Huli and attacked him with dense weapons, hoping to kill Huli on the spot and save Yeon Gaesumun at the same time.

    Although Huli is brave, he cannot block the weapons attacking from all directions, so he has no choice but to wave the iron rod.  Sweep away the deadly weapons, and as for the non-lethal ones, you can only use your body to carry them.  In the blink of an eye, there were dozens of wounds on his body, and he was bleeding profusely.  However, this injury gave Huli an idea.  He held Yeon Gaesomun under his arm and used it as a stick, then swept past the surrounding Goguryeo soldiers.

    At this time, the opponent threw a rat weapon, fearing to hurt the general's life, so they retreated one after another. At this time, the Hutou Army and Zhou Long finally arrived. Seeing that Huli had captured the opponent's general alive, their morale was even higher, and their horses hooves stepped on  The opponent's corpse protected Huli. When Huli got on his horse, he immediately raised the Yuengaisuwen in his hand above his head and shouted: "Yeongaisumun is captured. Those who surrender will avoid death!"

    "Yeon Gaesumun is captured, and those who surrender will be spared death"

    As soon as Huli's words came out, they were immediately spread by the Tang troops around him. In the blink of an eye, the Tang troops on the entire battlefield were roaring in unison, and the Goguryeo soldiers heard these words.  Then when I saw Yeon Gaesumun in the hands of the tall Tang general in the field, all of them had earth-colored faces, and their fighting spirit was gone in the blink of an eye.

    "Clang~" As the first Goguryeo soldier dropped the weapon in his hand, and then seemed to cause a chain reaction, the sound of metal clanging continued in the ears, and finally even became one.  Except for a few die-hards who were still resisting, most people on the left battlefield threw down their weapons and surrendered.

    With the support of Zhou Long and others, Huli rushed to the main battlefield with Yeon Gaesumun, and at the same time loudly spread the news that Yeon Gaesumun had been captured alive. As a result, the Goguryeo soldiers who had already dealt with the edge of collapse immediately dropped their weapons and surrendered.

    They circled around the battlefield before riding their horses and rushing to Li Shimin. They turned over and dismounted and threw the unconscious Yeon Gaesumun to the ground. They cupped their fists and saluted: "The last general Hu Li, Zhou  Dragon, come and revive me!"

    "Hahaha~, please get up quickly!" When Li Shimin saw these two tiger generals, he happily dismounted from his horse and took a few steps forward to help them up, turning a blind eye to the blood and pieces of meat on their armor.

    Although Hu Li and Zhou Long regarded Li Shimin as their enemy, they couldn't help but feel a little moved when they saw that he valued them so much. At the same time, they secretly thought that the Li family was full of talented people, and when their lord was defeated by them, it was indeed a fair defeat.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them bowed to express their gratitude. Before they could stand up, Li Min had already asked the prepared medical soldiers to help them down. Although they looked majestic on the battlefield, no matter how brave they were on the battlefield,  The generals were inevitably injured, not to mention that they defeated more with less, and at the same time they rushed to the front. Even if they were protected by armor, they still had countless wounds. If the bleeding was not stopped in time, they would probably die of excessive blood loss.

    Similarly, the five thousand cavalry who accompanied them also suffered heavy casualties. Almost a thousand were killed in the battle, and everyone who remained was injured. As for the thousand palace guards, nearly a hundred of the seven hundred tiger-headed troops died, and another three hundred  Even half of them died in the battle. After all, no matter how elite they were, they were always at the front of the team, so casualties were inevitable. And even among those who were alive, many were seriously injured and fell off their horses as soon as they came back.  Come down, can you?It is still unknown whether he can be saved.

    Nearly one-third of the thousand guards they brought were lost. Although the credit was great, such heavy casualties still made Li Min feel heartache. These were his strongest team members in the future, but because of the battle in Goguryeo  The losses were so heavy that there was nowhere to find anyone to compensate. It was really a huge loss.

    However, after this battle, Li Min found that the surviving guards were very different, especially the six hundred tiger-headed soldiers. Although their faces still showed a bit of sadness for losing their comrades, their overall spiritual temperament was different.  There is a feeling of being reborn, as if the dusty pearl has finally washed away the dust and begun to bloom with dazzling brilliance.

    With the capture of Yeon Gaesumun, the Goguryeo army surrendered one after another. Even if some die-hards resisted, they could not stop the Tang cavalry. As the evening approached, the battlefield was finally cleared.  Although there were still thousands of defenders in Pyongyang City, the 150,000 troops outside the city had been wiped out by the Tang Army. Naturally, they did not have the courage to become enemies of the Tang Army, so they very wisely surrendered to Kaicheng.  However, it was getting late at this time. Out of caution, Li Ji only ordered people to guard the large and small gates of Pyongyang City and did not enter the city immediately. He was still stationed outside Pyongyang City that night.

    This battle pitted 70,000 Tang troops against Goguryeo's 150,000 troops. Among them, the Goguryeo side had 20,000 killed and more than 40,000 injured. The Tang army also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, of which the wounded naturally accounted for the majority.  As a medical officer, Li Min was originally very busy, but apart from knowing some theories, he was only average at practical operations. Moreover, he did not like to deal with wounds with his own hands, so he handed over the medical soldiers to a few  Deputy management, and promised them that one of them would be selected as the future medical officer.

    Several deputies also knew that with Li Min's status, serving as a medical officer was only temporary, so after hearing Li Min's promise, they naturally redoubled their efforts. Although there were occasional intrigues, overall they did a very good job.  Li Min didn't need to worry at all. He usually didn't go to the medical camp very often.

    The medical camp is usually located near the battlefield, making it easier for injured soldiers coming off the battlefield to be sent here.  It was a rare occasion for Li Min to stay in the medical camp today, because almost all of the more than 700 surviving guards were staying here, and there were more than a dozen seriously injured people in a coma. I wonder if they can survive?  Regardless of emotions or reasons, he had to come and take a look.

    War is cruel, and this medical camp in front of us best reflects this. Soldiers with severed arms and legs can be seen everywhere, and groans and screams are continuous. Entering here is like entering a human slaughterhouse.  If a weak-willed person stays here for a longer time, he will definitely go crazy on the spot because he can't bear it. This is why Li Min doesn't like coming here.

    Li Min was the chief officer of the medical camp, and Hu Li and Zhou Long were the great contributors to capturing Yuan Gaisuwen alive, so they naturally received the best care. Priority was given to treating the wounds of seriously injured people, and then staying here for observation.  Those with minor injuries should go back to their respective camps to eat and rest after their wounds are treated, and then come to the medical camp on time for dressing changes.

    In addition to the dozen or so seriously injured people who were unconscious and seriously injured, Huli and dozens of others also had to stay in the medical camp for observation. Therefore, after Li Min and others treated their wounds, they allowed Huli and the others to recover in peace. If those ten  When the comatose brothers woke up, they had to inform him first. After giving instructions, they took the people and prepared to leave the medical camp.

    Although it was already dark, the medical camp was still noisy. In addition to moans and screams, there were also a lot of tired grunts. The battle during the day had exhausted a lot of energy, and some soldiers with minor injuries  Before the medical soldiers could treat the wounds, they lay down in various tents and fell asleep.

    When Li Min and the others walked out, they tried to stand as far to the side as there were many people running with stretchers on the road. After all, the battlefield was so big that it was impossible to clean up the wounded in a short time. Now there were people everywhere on the battlefield.  Soldiers with torches were rummaging through the piles of corpses on the ground. As long as they were soldiers of Tang Dynasty, those who were still breathing were immediately carried to the medical camp, and those who were not breathing were also carried out to recover.

    Just as Li Min and the others were walking out of the medical camp, another group of people suddenly rushed from the entrance of the camp. There were about seventeen or eight people in this group. They were all wearing tattered armor, with blood all over their bodies, including their faces.  It looked like they were crawling out of the pile of corpses. Seven or eight of them were carrying a few wounded on their backs. As they ran towards this side, they shouted in a hoarse voice: "Medic! Medic!"

    Originally, this kind of scene was the most common in the medical camp. Seeing these dozen people running past him, Li Min didn't pay much attention at first. However, when this group of people crossed paths with him, out of the corner of his eye, Li Min  Suddenly, he found among the group that one of the figures carrying the wounded on his back looked very familiar. This made him a little surprised. He turned around and took a closer look at the figure's back. Although there was another person on the other person's back, the feeling of familiarity was  The more I look at it, the more intense it becomes. Could it really be him?
