The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Zhao Chen looked up, and it took him a long time to recognize the person in front of him.

When he and Li Ruoshuang went to Cangzhou City, they stayed in the inn of the person in front of them for several days.

I haven't seen the shopkeeper for a while, but you're fine. Zhao Chen had a smile on his face.

But he knew in his heart that since the innkeeper of Cangzhou City appeared here, it also meant that something big had happened in Cangzhou City.

At least, it's precarious.

Otherwise, according to what the innkeeper told Zhao Chen, as long as Cangzhou City is still there, he will stay in Cangzhou City forever.

But now...

Master Zhao, are you going to Cangzhou?

Listen to the next advice and don't go. Goguryeo didn't know where to get kerosene, and the fire burned the city wall of Cangzhou for four days and nights.

When we left, we heard an explosion from far behind. It was probably that the city wall collapsed. The shopkeeper told Zhao Chen about the situation in Cangzhou City.

Cangzhou city wall collapsed?

How is this possible? It was poured with cement. Cheng Chumo's face was full of disbelief.

At least he believed that cement was made by Zhao Chen, and he had seen how strong cement was.

How could it be destroyed by fire?

Qin Huaiyu was also awakened at this moment, with an incredible look on his face.

How many days have you left Cangzhou City? Zhao Chen didn't ask anything else. He just wanted to know how many days had passed since the Cangzhou City Wall was burned down.

One day, we hitched a carriage on the road and didn't dare to stop for a moment. Fifty miles ago, the horses were exhausted, so we came here on foot.

We are all afraid that the Goguryeo army will be chasing us. The shopkeeper said to Zhao Chen, with a look of fear and exhaustion on his face.

Zhao Chen nodded.

The shopkeeper wanted to persuade Zhao Chen and the others not to go to Cangzhou, but it was obviously of no use.

After taking some dry food handed over by Zhao Chen, the shopkeeper returned to his team and continued walking forward.

Brother Emperor, are we still going? Li Ke also woke up and asked Zhao Chen with red eyes.

\u003e

Now that Cangzhou City is destroyed, even if they are in the past now, they will definitely not have much effect.

If the army is defeated, whether they go or not will not change anything.

Li Ke felt irritable. He didn't quite understand why Cangzhou City was burned down.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu also looked at Zhao Chen.

Waiting for Zhao Chen's decision.

Zhao Chen glanced at the three people, and he also understood that if Cangzhou City was broken, Yuan Gaisuwen's army would march straight in.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could not stop them.

But now the war is ahead, and they are here to protect the Tang Dynasty.

Retreat now, to where?

Go. Zhao Chen only left one word with the three of them before he got up and mounted his horse.

Cheng Chumo and the other three also got up from the ground and followed closely behind Zhao Chen.

…

That night, fire spread throughout Cangzhou City.

After losing many soldiers in street fighting, Yeon Gaesumun immediately ordered to cover the buildings at the city gate with rockets.

The flames rose into the sky, and the north wind howled at this time. The wind took advantage of the fire and spread towards the entire Cangzhou City.

Yuan Gaisuwen knew very well that if they did not use this move to destroy all the positions of the Tang army, they would not know how much time they would waste if they wanted to pass through Cangzhou City.

Cangzhou City is an important military town with countless twists and turns.

If he didn't take a ruthless move, he would definitely continue to lose a lot of soldiers.

Huizhen, you have performed very well these days, and I see it all.

This is a reward for you. In the camp, Yuan Gaesumun and Huizhen spoke.

The attendant on the side brought a golden long sword, which was given to Yeon Gaesumun by the Emperor of Goguryeo.

Now he was rewarded by Yeon Gaesumun to Hye Jin.

Upon seeing this golden sword, the faces of all the Goguryeo generals present instantly showed signs of envy.

For them, this long sword means Yeon Gaesumun's trust.

In the future, Hye Jin will definitely be taken more seriously by Yeon Gae So Moon. This is something everyone dreams of.

Thank you, Marshal. Huizhen took the sword, his face full of joy.

Yeon Gaesumun sat in the main seat, while Hou Junji looked in front of him with an expressionless face.

Mr. Hou, what should our army do next? Yuan Gaisuwen looked at Hou Junji and asked with a smile.

The ability to break through Cangzhou City this time was thanks to Hou Junji's method.

Yuan Gaisuwen even thought that if those people in the Tang Dynasty knew that the method to attack Cangzhou City was also thought up by Hou Junji.

Will he be so angry that he wants to eat Hou Junji alive?

Now Cangzhou City is filled with fire and thick smoke is billowing. Staying in the city will only lead to death.

Therefore, the Tang army will definitely withdraw southward.

We were blocked by the fire and couldn't pursue it immediately.

But it doesn't matter. Once the fire is extinguished, our army can march straight in. All the Tang cities along the way will fall into our hands.

We have won this battle. Hou Junji said slowly, with a rare smile on his face.

The destruction of Cangzhou City meant that the Tang army could no longer stop their advance.

With the current strength of Yuan Gaisu Wen's army, the Tang army would not be a match at all.

By then, if they capture the city of Datang, the enemy will be weak and we will be strong, and even the entire Tang Dynasty will fall into their hands.

Hou Junji was a little relieved.

I have been with Yeon Gaesumun for so long, and I am finally about to realize my ambition.

Li Shimin!

Zhao Chen!

You will regret it.

Hou Junji thought secretly in his heart.

Haha, Mr. Hou is right. Now, we just need to wait for this fire to end.

Then it will be the end of Li Shimin!

Come here, please pass on my commander's military order. Today, we will cook cattle and slaughter sheep, and give a big reward to the three armies. Yuan Gaisu Wen sent the order.

…

Looking at Cangzhou City, which was plunged into a sea of ​​flames, an indescribable expression appeared on the emperor's face.

Your Majesty, it's time to leave. Cangzhou City is lost. Li Jing looked at the emperor, his voice trembling.

After holding on to Cangzhou City for several months, they finally lost the city.

Now the door to the hinterland of the south is opened.

The entire Tang Dynasty was about to fall into war.

And he, Li Jing, has nothing to do now.

Your Majesty, let's go. Xu Shiji also advised.

Now that they leave, at least until the fire is extinguished, Yeon Gaesumun's army will not be able to catch up.

If they delay any longer, they really won't be able to get far.

How many people are left now? The emperor asked Xu Shiji with his eyes slightly red.

More than 30,000 people. Xu Shiji replied.

Defending the city for several months cost them too many people.

In addition, the city of Cangzhou was destroyed and the fire spread, and many soldiers lost their thoughts on fighting.

Many soldiers have lost contact.

Thirty thousand. The emperor read this number and looked at the burning Cangzhou City behind him.

Let's go! the emperor said, the expression on his face turned away.

Seeing that the emperor finally agreed to retreat, Xu Shiji finally showed a look of relief on his face.

All of them could die here, but not the Emperor.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, the most important thing was him, the emperor.

Send the order and retreat. Xu Shiji shouted loudly.

Tens of thousands of soldiers slowly withdrew towards the other side of Cangzhou City.
