Songyue City, the royal palace.
Gong Yi pointed at Shen Chongqian, who was covered in blood and kept pleading guilty while kneeling in the hall, his teeth were shaking and his whole body was trembling, because of his excessive movements, he was wearing the mighty and gorgeous royal robe "waves".
Gong Yi felt as if his chest was pressed against a boulder, like a stick in his throat, he couldn't utter a lot of words, his lips trembled for a while, but he couldn't utter a single word.
His reaction was so big, half anger, half fear.
Naturally, this was because Pei Xuanqing and Shen Chongqian were unfavorable in the battle. Not to mention the loss of Pyongyang, the most elite army of 300,000 Goguryeo was also completely destroyed. As for Tang Jun's performance in this battle, Shen Chongqian said that it was like a demon god descending into the world, and heavenly soldiers descending from the earth, which made Gong Yi feel so tight that he just wanted to vomit blood.
"Say! Did you secretly surrender to the Tang Dynasty, colluded with the Tang army, murdered Pei Xuanqing, and betrayed the soldiers of the three armies?!" Gong Yi stepped in front of Shen Chongqian, grabbed the opponent's neck and lifted him up, his facial features distorted He asked with a ferocious expression.
"Your Majesty... why did you say that?" Shen Chongqian's cultivation base was suppressed, and soon his face turned blue and he was struggling to breathe.
"If it weren't for this, how could this king's 300,000 elite fighters be defeated by a mere 100,000 Tang troops in half a day? It must be you, you treacherous traitor! You even betrayed your own country!"
Gong Yi's eyes were scarlet, the eyeballs seemed to disappear, his hair danced wildly, and the aura raged violently in Shenzhou, setting off gusts of wind. The man seemed to have been possessed by a demon, and he poured Shen Chongqian on the ground, smashing a big hole, and the dust flew up.
He still couldn't let go of his hatred, and he didn't stop his movements. Shen Chongqian became a puppet in his hands, and was thrown from left to right by him, blasting deep holes in the ground. The rubble shot out, and the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs all suffered from the disaster, blood spattered all over their bodies, and they flew out one after another screaming.
While killing Shen Chongqian, Gong Yi kept roaring like a beast: "You treacherous minister, for the sake of glory and wealth, dare to destroy this king's country and society. This king will definitely kill you!"
"This king was born in the royal family. He has extraordinary talents since he was a child. Now he has a high level of cultivation. His generals are like clouds, and his ministers are like rain. He has been in Goguryeo for nearly ten years. He is destined to become a generation of heroes. You bastard, how dare you spoil this king's hard work? !"
The monk guards in the palace rushed towards him when they heard the movement, and when they saw the red-eyed bow descendants dancing wildly in their clothes, they all trembled and did not dare to act rashly.
As for the first civil servant of Goguryeo in the other party's hands, his bones and tendons were broken, his flesh was mutilated, and he was completely inhuman, like a freshly cut pork chop, bloody.
Shen Chongqian faced the siege of the great monks of the Tang Army in Pyongyang City. With great effort, he broke through the encirclement in a narrow escape and ran back to the capital to report the military situation on the front line. It is really miserable to end up like this .
After an unknown amount of time, Gong Yi finally stopped, and he dropped the head in his hand—Shen Chongqian had been broken into countless pieces of flesh, scattered all over the hall, blood was splashed everywhere, and only one head remained intact.
Now the head is rolling to the side, just the facial features are facing up, the seven orifices are bleeding, and the expression of horror and fear is still frozen.
Gong Yi's anger subsided slightly, but the redness in his eyes did not subside. He lowered his head and walked back and forth in the hall a few times, looking fierce, as if he was looking for the enemy who killed his father.
At the end, he roared to the outside of the palace gate: "Decree, all the soldiers in the king's capital must gather, and this king will go out in person to fight against Li Ye!"
After the order was issued, Gong Yi began to pace the hall with his head buried in his head, talking non-stop.
He muttered: "I am the Queen of Koryo. I have hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of miles of land! I have great luck, and a traitor, how can I ruin my affairs?"
"I want to unify the Three Kingdoms, ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, and establish unprecedented achievements! I want to live forever, be praised by future generations, and enjoy supreme power! How could I lose?!"
After capturing the city of Pyongyang, the army only took a short rest before crossing the Datong River and continuing to march south.
Although the territory of the peninsula is not large, there are also many cities. Li Ye only led an army of 100,000, and he has no interest in capturing various states and counties with stragglers.
The Goguryeo city, which blocked the way of the army, did not respond as Li Ye expected, either running or falling in anticipation of the wind.
Of course, there were also two fearless chief officers and generals who sacrificed their lives to go to the country, desperately trying to stop the Tang army for a while.
The result is self-evident, none of the magic weapons of mass destruction in the army were used, and only the great monks in the accompanying army easily destroyed the opponent's city defense and fighting spirit.
The territory of later Goguryeo is equivalent to a feudal town in the Tang Dynasty. Although the city has a larger population and stronger strength, in front of the 100,000 Tang troops today, this degree of strength can be ignored.
Originally, Li Ye expected that before he arrived at Songyue, he would not encounter strong resistance again. Even if he arrived at Songyue, the descendants of Gong would still be guarding the city. It would be considered good if he could hold back and not surrender.
What he didn't expect was that the army was still fifty miles away from Songyue, and the scout cultivators reported back, saying that the descendants of Gong came rushing to kill with more than 200,000 troops.
"Within 60 miles between the two armies, there is no Xiongguan Tianchao or Jiancheng fortress. Does Gongyi still want to fight with my army in the field?" Zhao Polu was surprised when he heard the scout's report.
To be honest, Li Ye didn't know what the other party was planning. It is extremely difficult for more than 200,000 Korean troops to defend the city. Now that the opponent has taken the initiative to go out to the field to meet the army, what is the difference from sending them to death
Li Ye didn't think that some people would like to die, and even more didn't think that Gong Yi, as the lord of a country, would lose his mind to do so. This is an unreasonable thing to do. The only reasonable explanation is that the other party has ulterior motives and other plans.
"What exactly does Gong Yi want to do?" Li Ye fell into deep thought.
The topography and cities of Goryeo are all in his mind, including the garrison situation and strength of the troops in various places. They have also been collected by the Tsingyi Yamen, and they are also in his mind.
The only problem that the army has not solved now is that it is advancing all the way, and there is no division of troops to capture the left and right states and counties. Could it be that the Gong descendants planned to mobilize the whole country to swarm the people from all directions, so that the ants would kill the elephants
Under normal circumstances, this kind of situation might not happen, but it is absolutely impossible now. If the ant colony wants to kill the elephant, it must be able to entangle the elephant, but now the 100,000 army is unstoppable, and neither the Xiongguan nor the enemy army can prevent the army from directly crushing it.

Besides, there were quite a few big monks accompanying the army, and they were all monitoring the situation on the two wings. Li Ye did not hear their report that there were Korean troops gathering and attacking from all directions.
"Or, Gong Yi still has a surprise soldier hidden, which can threaten the rear of our army?" Li Ye kept deducing the battle situation, and finally could only think of this possibility.
This time the army went out, in terms of the situation of the use of troops, there is a suspicion that the army will go deep alone. In addition, along the way, they only occupied a city on one road and did not clean up the flanks. If Goryeo had really hidden a surprise army in advance, it could indeed sneak attack the army's food road.
but this
It is only theoretical, and there is no practical possibility at all.
The territory of Goguryeo was less than a thousand miles away from the north to the south, and Pyongyang, an important city in the north, was even north of the Datong River, which was equivalent to "Lonely Hanging Outside the Great Wall".
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Goryeo army to attack Pyongyang City. Even if they wanted to, they would not be able to succeed with the defenders left by Li Ye in Pyongyang City.
As long as Pyongyang City is not lost, no matter where the strange soldiers that may exist or not appear behind the army, once the new cavalry of the Spike Army in Pyongyang City and the new cavalry of the Spike Army following the army are dispatched, they will definitely be able to fight within two days. Killed within.
With the speed and physique of a ferocious warhorse, it would be fine if this strange army didn't show up. Once it did, it would be hunted down and killed very soon.
What's more, there are big monks guarding the food road along the way.
So although Tang Jun went deep alone and did not clear the flanks, Li Ye was not worried about any problems in the rear.
So the question is, what exactly is Gongyi going to do
Li Ye thought hard, but couldn't think of anything that Gong Yi could rely on to turn things around.
"The order will be passed on, the big monks will go out in groups to scout the army's flanks, abdomen and back day and night. If any Korean troops appear, they must report in time!" Li Ye didn't let the army postpone the trip.
The big monks dispatched in groups can also avoid being sporadically hunted and killed. Anyway, the Koryo territory is so big, and there are many big monks in the army, enough to monitor everywhere.
Two days later in the morning, the army met the Koryo army led by Gong Yi in a low and hilly area.
The two sides were separated by five miles, and each lined up their troops, and then Gong Yi took the initiative to attack. Li Ye did not hesitate at all, and ordered the army to give the opponent a head-on blow.
The fighting process was lackluster.
First, the monks from both sides fought each other in mid-air, and the Tang monks quickly defeated the Korean monks by virtue of their numbers and realm advantages, and gained the air supremacy.
Then, with the cooperation of the big monks, the pawns rushed forward in the middle of the army. Before the two sides met, the Tang army's magic weapon, the strong bow and the crossbow, took the lead. After several rounds of volleys, the Goryeo army in front of the various army formations, all of them suffered heavy casualties. , In chaos.
Relying on the advantages of the armored soldiers, the Tang army's infantry took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely, and soon rushed into the formations of the Korean army everywhere, and quickly captured the hills one by one with bows left and right.
The new cavalry of the Spike Army divided into dozens of groups, assaulted from the flanks, cooperated with the infantry soldiers, divided and surrounded the hills controlled by the Koryo army, and annihilated them one by one.
The battle lasted no more than two hours, and the Koryo army was already covered in corpses and blood flowed like rivers. There is no essential difference between the battle situation and Pyongyang City. They are all one-sided massacres, and the Koryo army can't even defend.
Three hours later, the Koryo army was completely defeated, and the soldiers fled in all directions, throwing away their helmets and armor.
At this time, the great cultivator still did not find any signs of Koryo soldiers and civilians flocking within a hundred miles. The big monks at the rear of the army reported back to Li Ye once an hour, but they didn't find any Korean soldiers.
In the afternoon of the battle, the situation became that the Tang army was chasing and killing Goryeo soldiers all over the mountains and plains.
Before sunset, the Tang army retreated in a big victory, and Zhao Polu personally captured the descendants of the later King of Koryo.
Looking at the soldiers returning to the camp, Li Ye rubbed his chin, but still couldn't figure out what it meant that Gong Yi led the army to take the initiative to fight. Seeing that Zhao Polu brought Gong Yi back, Li Ye decided to ask him face to face.
After seeing Gong Yi, Li Ye finally understood why the other party took the initiative to attack.
