Chapter 316: Breaking the City and Being Besieged

"Gao Yuangong? If you don't guard Liaodong City, why are you here?"

Soon Fengcheng guard Li Zaiyuan appeared on the city wall.

Gao Yuangong was a descendant of the royal Gao family, so after Yeon Gaesumun took power, most of the generals appointed by Goryeo were descendants of the royal family and those related to the royal family.

This Li Zaiyuan is also the son-in-law of the Goryeo royal family, and he is quite familiar with Gao Yuangong.

Looking down from the city wall, Gao Yuangong was recognized at a glance.

"Tang... The Tang army betrayed their trust and suddenly attacked our Liaodong City!" Li Anyan pointed behind him and said, "I led these troops to break out of the encirclement at the risk of death."

Li Zaiyuan was shocked: "What? Did you lose Liaodong City?"

The Liaodong City was the northern barrier of Goryeo. Once Liaodong was lost, the Tang army would be able to march straight into it.

If the Tang army came to Fengcheng, how could they defend the city with so few soldiers?

"The Tang Dynasty suddenly sent 40 troops. How many men do I have? How can I hold it?" Li Anyan said angrily: "I sent a messenger for help two days ago, but not a single soldier came to help Liaodong City. Can you blame me? ?"

"What? The messenger you sent for help two days ago said that there were only about 4 Tang troops. So quickly they increased their troops tenfold?"

Li Zaiyuan knew about the messenger asking for help because he passed by Fengcheng.

What he didn't expect was that Liaodong City would fall so quickly.

That's right, if it were 40,000 Tang troops, Gao Yuangong would definitely be able to hold on for a while.

But 400,000 Tang troops!

Gao Yuangong only has 40,000 people, so it's normal that he can't hold on.

The question now is what should Lee Jae-won do.

At this time, Li Anyan shouted again from the city: "I know that losing Liaodong City is a capital crime. The Tang Army will arrive soon. General Li, please return to Pyongyang quickly. Whether it is war or peace, please come up with a charter."

"I, Gao Yuangong, am willing to make meritorious deeds and defend Fengcheng. I can stop the Tang army every day."

At this point, Li Anyan looked up to the sky and sighed: "If I hadn't sent out the news about Tang Jun, I, Gao Yuangong, would have died in Liaodong City!"

"General Gao is righteous!" Li Zaiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't know how to resist the 400,000 Tang army.

Gao Yuangong found a good reason for himself.

Let Gao Yuangong guard Fengcheng and rush back to Pyongyang to report the news.

At that time, whether Fengcheng can be defended or not will have nothing to do with him.

Moreover, Gao Yuangong is His Majesty's nephew and is deeply loved by His Majesty. He obeyed his order and returned to Pyongyang to report the news. No one can blame him.

"Open the city gate quickly and welcome General Gao and his men in!" Li Zaiyuan shouted, fearing that the people below the city wouldn't hear.

He also kicked the deputy general on the butt and said, "I don't have any eyesight at all."

The suspension bridge was lowered with a click, and then the city gate opened.

Li Anyan, Yan Kai and Chun Yuzhen looked at each other and walked in with the people.

"General Gao, I'll leave Fengcheng to you!" Li Zaiyuan didn't realize that Gao Yuangong was a Xibei at all.

It was already dark, and Gao Yuangong's face was still smoky, so it was strange that he could be recognized.

"It's okay, this is what we should do."

As he spoke, Li Anyan also took out his seal and waistband and handed them to Li Zaiyuan: "Please take these back to Pyongyang and give them to His Majesty. Gao Yuangong will not betray his trust!"

"Leave the defense of Fengcheng to us defeated troops! General Li quickly reorganizes his army and returns to Pyongyang early tomorrow morning!"

"Don't worry, General Gao!" Li Zaiyuan punched his chest with his fist: "I'm going to organize the army right now. I hope you and I will see each other again. I'll treat you to a drink in Pyongyang!"

In this way, everyone in Kuoding County took Fengcheng without a single blow.

"Everyone, take a rest and start in the middle of the night!"

Everyone was a little tired after traveling all the way. Li Anyan gave an order and everyone quickly started to rest against the city wall.

"It's almost time, get ready to take action!"

Three or four o'clock in the middle of the night is when everyone is most asleep.

Because Li Zaiyuan said he was rushing back to Pyongyang the next day, and because he was in a barracks in the city, the Fengcheng defenders didn't even have any guards.

Li Anyan and Chun Yuzhen quietly walked in with their people and swept through tents one by one.

The Fengcheng defenders were basically still asleep when their necks were wiped.

When Li Zaiyuan felt his arm being held down and woke up, he looked at the two Liaodong defenders around him and didn't understand what was happening.

"General Gao, what are you doing?"

"General Li, you have admitted your mistake. I am not Gao Yuangong." Li Anyan said with a smile: "You should have heard of my name, Tiger of the East China Sea..."

"Yanguan, you are Yanguan!" Li Zaiyuan exclaimed, who in Korea knows the name of the Tiger of the East China Sea?

I didn't expect that I would be blinded by him and be deceived by him. I guess now the entire Fengcheng has fallen into his hands, right?

No, the letter of Gao Yuangong's military talisman he started to bring to him was all genuine, which meant that Gao Yuangong and Liaodong City had also fallen into their hands!

"I'll lock you up!" Li Anyan was proud of himself, but was furious at Li Zaiyuan's title.

"Bring him to me and take a look at him. Just have one meal a day and don't starve to death!"

Li Anyan and the other brothers held back their laughter and were led away by Li Zaiyuan.

Yan Kai smiled and asked: "Should we continue going south now, or should we wait for news?"

"Wait for the news!" Li Anyan said: "There are too few of us, and we don't know what happened to those Japanese dwarfs who attacked Pyongyang?"

"Also, we need to check the movements of Su Dingfang and Yuan Gaisuwen."

When they came this time, they had no intention of really destroying the country for Goryeo.

The Pyongyang defenders and Yeon Gae So-moon have a lot of troops. The most they can do now is to compress the opponent's space.

Capture the cities north of Pyongyang first, and then let Silla, Baekje, Fusang and Goryeo consume them.

Goryeo, which has lost a large territory in the north, will be under great pressure on its economy and food.

Early the next morning, the people of Fengcheng received the news that Fengcheng had been occupied by Datang.

Apart from not being able to leave the city for the time being, as long as they don't cause trouble in the city, everything will continue as usual.

Yan Kai and the others originally planned to wait for news in Fengcheng, but they didn't expect things to go wrong.

Soon a spy came to report that an army of tens of thousands was coming from the south.

"This is... the reinforcements sent by Pyongyang to Liaodong City have arrived!"

Li Anyan's judgment was correct. Pyongyang knew that Liaodong City could not afford to lose, otherwise it was very likely that they would not be facing miscellaneous armies like Silla, Baekje and Fuso in the south.

It was the Tang army with strong soldiers and horses.

So even though Pyongyang was short of troops, they still sent tens of thousands of people north.

They thought that these tens of thousands of people plus the 40,000 people in Liaodong City would be more than enough to stop the 40,000 Tang Army.

I just didn't expect that Liaodong City would be destroyed in one day, and Yan Kai and the others would occupy Fengcheng.

The problem now is that the other party must enter the city to supply supplies. What should Yan Kai and the others do?
