Chapter 363 Surrender
His Majesty the new King Gaochang stood at the top of the city, watching with fear the continuous array of Tang troops below the city, fighting with both hands, and almost fell from the top of the city with his legs weak...
He has just completed the gorgeous turn from His Royal Highness to His Majesty the King. Although he deeply understands the all-round gap between Gaochang Kingdom and Datang, and knows that the only way to survive is to raise the flag and surrender, there will inevitably be some small expectations in his heart.
Perhaps, Datang is not as powerful as it seems?
Perhaps, the Turks will deal a severe blow in the back of the Tang army?
Or maybe mobilizing the young and strong in the city can withstand the Tang army's offensive?
For him, a delicate little grass who was born in the palace since he was a child, grew up in the hands of women, and was not much better than the "why not eat minced meat", it is inevitable that he will have some unrealistic fantasies. When desperate, everyone will have a little "lucky" mentality.
But when he climbed to the top of the city and saw Tang Jun's mighty formation, he completely died of that thought.
Under the scorching sun, the flags were flying, and the densely packed Tang Jun walked forward slowly in a neat pace. The dull footsteps were like thunder rolling in the sky, shaking my heart one by one, making my whole body numb, and my bones softened and my mind disappeared!
The formation of tens of thousands of people approached slowly, calmly and unhurriedly, there was no noisy din, only the mighty fighting spirit rising into the sky in silence!
The entire Gaochang Kingdom was trembling under this soaring attitude, as humble as dust!
His Majesty Gaochang's lips were green, and he immediately issued a decree: "Quickly open the city and surrender! Don't let the heavenly soldiers misunderstand and be killed, and we will all become sinners of Gaochang!"
He was quick to see the opportunity, but what can he do?
Facing the majestic and mighty formation of the Tang army, all Gaochang soldiers secretly put down their weapons, took off their armor, and sneaked in among the civilians...
under the city.
Fang Jun looked up at the tower, feeling a little helpless.
The army has never been resisted all the way, and the hurricane rush usually goes straight to the Gaochang city. I am afraid that the morale of the Gaochang country has long been lost, and Kaesong will surrender after a while.The expected battle may not happen.
If there is no battle to fight, naturally there will be no meritorious service to be gained. These thousands of miles of trekking can be regarded as exhausting for nothing...
The only consolation is the battle that defeated the night attack of the Turkic cavalry.
Hou Junji put on his helmet and armor, and sat upright on his horse. The tens of thousands of troops behind him stood still, and a heavy murderous aura shot up into the sky.
A white flag protruded obliquely from the city gate tower, and waved it vigorously a few times.
Immediately, the entire Tang Army's position let out a shocking cheer, and rushed straight to Xiaohan, enough to make the wind and clouds move!
After a while, the gate of the city opened slowly, and a person in a gorgeous royal robe walked out first.
Hou Junji sat on the horseback, standing still, looked around and smiled and said: "A mere Gaochang, dare to fight against the Tang Dynasty? But it is still sensible, if you don't need a large army to attack the city, you will automatically ask to surrender, which will save the whole family from being wiped out." It's a crime!"
In a word, it can be regarded as a certainty for the Gaochang royal family, and they will not wantonly implicate and kill the entire family.
The king of Gaochang didn't stop until he was a few feet away from the front army, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Ju Zhisheng, the king of Gaochang, has offended Datang Tianwei. I hope the general will take pity on the hard work of the common people, and don't get involved too much, all the crimes, I have a certain Ju Zhisheng alone!"
The two armies were silent before the battle, only the voice of Gaochang King Ju Zhisheng was heard loudly.
When Ju Zhisheng finished speaking, a kind of civil servants and generals behind him all knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "We are willing to surrender!"
With a wave of Hou Junji's hand, the troops beside him stepped forward, trotted around the group of civil servants and generals of Gaochang Kingdom kneeling at the gate of the city, and charged into the city.
The Tang army went on an expedition to the Western Regions, and they were invincible wherever they went. Gaochang Kingdom surrendered without a fight!
Hou Junji sat proudly on the horse, his thin eyes shone with excitement.How can meritorious deeds in the world compare to those who destroy the country?
Although the entire country in Gaochang surrendered without a battle, it seemed inevitable that the blood would be less bloody and fierce, mighty and domineering, and it was difficult to show the merits of General Hou's use of troops like a god, but after all, it was an achievement of destroying the country. Since then, the generals of the Manchu Dynasty , Who else can compare?
Even Li Jing is not as good as a certain one!
Although Li Jing defeated the Turks, he did not wipe them out, but only caused the Turks to move westward, and the main force was still there. In comparison, it was inevitably inferior.
Satisfied, Hou Junji rode his horse forward and came to the side of Gaochang King Ju Zhisheng, leaned over and asked, "Isn't Gaochang King Ju Wentai? That guy is arrogant, rude, and treacherous. This commander is about to take him back to Chang'an to communicate with him." Where is your Majesty now?"
Ju Zhisheng broke out in cold sweat, kneeling on the ground as soft as a puddle of mud: "Ju Wentai is my father...my father died of illness in the morning, and I will inherit the throne. I surrender my allegiance to the Tang Dynasty, and hope that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty will forgive the crimes committed by the Gaochang Kingdom. Since then, the lineage of King Gaochang has been the loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty;
"Hehehe, hahaha"
Hou Junji seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, he raised his head and laughed endlessly, extremely insolent.
But it's no wonder that he laughed so happily, even Fang Jun behind couldn't help but want to laugh, how naive must this Gao Changguo be, to say such two hundred and five words?
The lineage of King Gaochang has been the loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty for generations; Gaochang is a country that will always be the fence of the Tang Dynasty...
Want to be beautiful!
The Tang Dynasty labored on an expedition, but when you reached the ground, you surrendered without any pressure, and then the king continued to be king, and the kingdom still existed...
This person is shameless and has a certain demeanor!
Fang Jun thinks so...
Hou Junji smiled and shook his head on the horse, and said, "Ju Wentai broke his promise first, Gaochang conquered the allies later, and the Tang army traveled thousands of miles to conquer. How can you just surrender?"
After saying that, with a "Qang" sound, he pulled out his portable horizontal knife, swung his arm down, the light of the knife flashed, Ju Zhisheng of Gaochang Kingdom didn't even scream, and his head was decapitated, a big head was chopped off by Hou Junji He fell, rolled on the ground several times, and turned his back to the sky, dying with regret.
The headless torso fell to the ground, and a fountain of blood gushed out from the severed head.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Tens of thousands of Tang troops shouted in unison, their morale high!
All the civil servants and generals in Gaochang Kingdom were all dumbfounded, they were stunned for a moment, someone yelled, got up and ran.
It's just that before he had time to run a few steps, the crossbow strings rang repeatedly, and rows of crossbow arrows pierced through the air, shooting and killing all these people in a blink of an eye.
The city gate was soaked in blood, and the morale of the Tang army was high!
Hou Junji waved his big hand and shouted: "The whole army enters the city!"
"Roar--"
Hearing this order, all the Tang soldiers cheered loudly and rushed to the city gate, pouring into Gaochang City like a torrent.
Fang Jun was shocked, and hurriedly rode his horse to chase Hou Junji, and said anxiously: "Commander, you must not! Tens of thousands of troops marched into the city together, and they will definitely be unstoppable. At that time, some unruly people will ignore the military regulations. , committing crimes is inevitable!"
Hou Junji reined in his horse and stopped, turned his head to stare at Fang Jun, and said with a sneer, "Who said you have to be restrained?"
Fang Jun was stunned...
"The army went on an expedition to the Western Regions and traveled thousands of miles. You know the hardships during the period. What are you planning? Merit! Who knows that Gaochang Kingdom surrendered without a fight. If there is no battle, naturally there will be no meritorious service. , Morale is bound to be low. In an army, morale is the most important thing. What do you think they are risking their lives to charge with this commander? Since there is no meritorious service, then this commander has to give everyone some other benefits..."
Hou Junji spoke scorchingly, and looked at Fang Jun with disdain.
At first glance, this boy is not expected to be a soldier. How can he have the kindness of a woman when he is a soldier and fights?
Fang Jun was dumbfounded, but found himself speechless...
How could this be so?
As the commander-in-chief, it is natural to seek benefits for his subordinates. Leading troops to win big battles is a benefit, so that everyone can earn military merits, get promoted and get rich, and can reduce or exempt taxes; then it is also a benefit to plunder after capturing the enemy's city...
wrong!
This is not right!
This is the army, the regular army of the Tang Empire!
Is it really reasonable to plunder like bandits?
Besides, there are quite a few Han people in Gaochang City!
These big-headed soldiers are going crazy, what kind of Han people and barbarians will they care about?
Fang Jun said solemnly: "Please take it back, Marshal!"
