Chapter 1794 You and I are old acquaintances

The castle tower of the royal capital of Silla.

Deathly silence.

The Goguryeo soldiers looked at the body of Tushe under the tower in horror.

Tuoshe died like that!

That arrogant and arrogant Tuo She was actually killed by an unknown young boy!

Even his head was cut off!

Everyone has the illusion that this is absolutely impossible to happen.

However, Tushe's headless corpse was right in front of them.

"kill!"

It wasn't until the shocking sound of the Tang Dynasty's frontier troops charging forward that they realized that Tuo She was really dead.

The general who defended the city personally appointed by Yuan Gaisuwen died at the hands of the Tang Dynasty border troops at the first stop.

The border troops of the Tang Dynasty came like a tide.

The trebuchets threw countless huge stones, which fell on the towers one after another.

Many trebuchets were pushed forward, and the stones that were supposed to be thrown turned into sky-blasting cannons with burning fuses.

The sky-blasting cannon fell on the tower, and the Goguryeo soldiers on the tower had no time to throw it down.

The sky-blasting cannon exploded on the tower.

The explosion was a big one, with blood and flesh flying, the battlements were blown down, and not a single Goguryeo soldier survived within ten meters.

It can even be said that there are no bones left.

A rain of arrows came from the sky, and within a moment, the entire defense line of the city tower was almost destroyed.

All the Goguryeo soldiers did not dare to show their heads, and could only watch the Datang border troops getting closer and closer.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang——"

Just when the Goguryeo soldiers thought that the city tower was about to be breached by the Tang border troops, the sound of gold suddenly came from the opposite side.

The border troops of the Tang Dynasty heard the call to withdraw their troops. Although they were puzzled, they quickly retreated.

The siege vehicle that was originally pushed to the city gate was slowly pushed back.

The stone machine also turned around.

The Goguryeo soldiers did not dare to take any action at all. They were afraid that if they did it themselves, they would attract the Tang Dynasty border troops on the opposite side again.

"This is how to do ah!"

"How can we defend this city?"

"The Tang Dynasty border troops used the sky-blasting cannon again!"

"Our people have no way to fight back and don't even dare to stand together."

"We're all going to die here!"

On the city tower, the Goguryeo soldiers looked at the stumps and broken arms of their companions on the ground, feeling unspeakable fear in their hearts.

…

"Military advisor, why are you withdrawing your troops?" Cheng Chumo had just picked up Pei Xingjian and was about to lead the army to attack the city when he suddenly heard the order to withdraw his troops.

"That's right, military advisor. We just killed the camel as promised. We also have sharp weapons like the sky-blasting cannon. The other side doesn't dare to show its head at all. If there is no accident, we can break the city today. Why did we suddenly withdraw our troops?"

"Military advisor, did something happen?"

Xu Shiji was questioned by many generals one after another.

We can't blame the generals for being confused. It's really hard to understand that they actually withdrew their troops given such a good opportunity.

They had even thought about spending the night in the capital of Silla tonight.

did not expect……

"Your Highness has an order to withdraw the entire army without any mistakes." Xu Shiji did not answer everyone's questions, but conveyed Zhao Chen's order.

"Yes!" Although they still didn't understand, everyone still obeyed the order.

"Keep your promise and do a good job. His Highness already knows and will see you later!" Xu Shiji looked at Pei Xingjian with a pleased smile on his face.

"Hey." Pei Xingjian scratched his head

, laughed twice.

…

Datang border army camp.

Zhao Chen sat at the top, Xu Shiji sat beside him, and generals from all walks of life lined up on both sides.

Looking at Zhao Chen in front of them, everyone looked respectful and did not dare to show any slights.

This kind of respect is not because of Zhao Chen's identity, but because they really admire His Highness the King of Han from the bottom of their hearts.

If it weren't for Zhao Chen, Goguryeo would have entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

If it weren't for Zhao Chen, they wouldn't be able to easily destroy the defense of the Silla capital today.

It's a pity that they don't quite understand why they suddenly retreated.

"Your Highness, why did we retreat when we could have attacked the city just now? But what happened?" Cheng Chumo was the first to ask.

In front of all the generals, he would naturally not call Zhao Chen Zhao Da.

When Cheng Chumo asked, the others naturally pricked up their ears and looked at Zhao Chen.

"What is our purpose of taking the capital of Silla?" Zhao Chen looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

"Of course it's to expel the Goguryeo army." A general said immediately without thinking.

"Since it is to expel the Goguryeo army, we have already done it."

"Tomorrow morning, there will be no sign of the Goguryeo army in the capital of Silla." Zhao Chen said calmly.

But to everyone's ears, it was extremely unbelievable.

"How can it be."

"Even if Yeon Gaesumun is not in the capital of Silla, he must have ordered people to defend it. How dare they leave?" Some generals didn't believe it.

"If Tuo She is still alive, of course he will continue to defend, but isn't he dead?"

"Where's Pei Xingjian? Didn't you ask him to come over?" Zhao Chen looked around and found no trace of Pei Xingjian.

\u003c

br\u003e "Your Highness, Pei Xingjian is slightly injured. I have asked him to come over immediately after he takes care of the injury..."

"Your Highness, General Pei wants to see you." Qin Sanpao opened the tent door, and behind him stood Pei Xingjian, who had already treated his injuries.

"General Pei please come in." Zhao Chen nodded.

Everyone looked at the door. Pei Xingjian had a bandage on his shoulder, and traces of blood could still be seen faintly.

"The last general, Pei Xingjian, pays homage to His Highness." Pei Xingjian stood in the center and bowed to Zhao Chen.

"General Pei, we are old acquaintances. No need to be polite, just sit down and talk." Zhao Chen waved his hand and motioned for Pei Xingjian to sit aside.

Pei Xingjian hesitated.

In addition to Zhao Chen and Xu Shiji, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were all standing in the tent to discuss matters. Sitting by themselves was really not a good idea.

"Your Highness asks you to sit down, just sit down." Xu Shiji said, and Pei Xingjian sat aside with some trepidation, his butt only dared to touch one side of the stool.

"As for why you are asked to retreat at this time, it is because Tuoshe was killed by General Pei, and the sky-blasting cannon destroyed the defense on the city tower of the Silla King's capital."

"The Goguryeo soldiers at this moment are completely frightened."

"But if we rush forward now to kill them all, many Goguryeo soldiers will feel that they will die anyway, so they might as well turn around and fight with us."

"Killing one is enough, killing two is enough to make a profit."

"But this is a completely unnecessary loss for us!"

"If we withdraw our troops and act as if we will attack again at any time, they will naturally panic."

"Then there are only two ways before them, either to hold on and eventually all die here, or to lead the troops and leave to find Yeon Gaesumun."

"What do you think they will choose?" Zhao Chen said slowly, the light in his eyes was strong and confident.
