The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1228 Hou Junji’s worries

The fire in Cangzhou City burned for three days and three nights.

The entire city of Cangzhou was completely reduced to ruins, with charred ruins and broken walls everywhere.

The Goguryeo army entered the city, but there was no sign of any living creature.

Even the stones on the ground were shattered by the fire.

Commander, the fire has been extinguished, and no living creature has been found in the city.

Those people from Tang State should have escaped long ago. Huizhen and Yuengai Suwen reported the news from the soldiers below.

Commander, should we pursue them immediately?

If it's any later, they'll really all run away. Huizhen said to Yeon Gaesumun again.

Huizhen now desperately wants to pursue the retreating Tang army. ??

In this way, he is likely to catch Li Shimin.

And as long as Li Shimin is caught, Yeon Gaesumun promises that he can split the earth and become the king.

Huizhen was thinking about this matter very much.

Yeon Gaesumun glanced at Huizhen and understood what he was thinking.

In Yeon Gaesumun's view, no matter whether they are chasing the defeated army of Tang Dynasty or not, they have already won.

The army only had to slowly and gradually encroach on the cities of the Tang Dynasty, plunder property, and plunder the population.

They will become stronger than ever.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before we reach Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Wouldn't it be easy to catch Li Shimin when the time comes?

But Yeon Gae So Moon didn’t want to reject Hye Jin either.

It's rare for these guys to be so active. If they reject him, it will be unsightly.

The Tang army has been defeated, so our army can naturally take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

Huizhen, I command you to lead our fifty thousand soldiers from Goguryeo as the vanguard to pursue the fleeing Tang army.

If Li Shimin is captured, regardless of life or death, the previous promise will still be valid.

Go. Yeon Gaesumun said, waving to Huizhen.

Yes, Marshal.

Huizhen looked happy, thanked Yeon Gaesumun and left quickly.

The other generals in the camp all looked enviously.

Everyone knows that if Huizhen really catches Li Shimin, then the credit will definitely be huge.

Mr. Hou, why are you not happy about our army's victory? Yuan Gaisuwen looked back and saw Hou Junji with a serious smile, and felt a little puzzled.

Commander, although our army has won, I feel that the commander's move of letting General Huizhen pursue Li Shimin was a bit hasty.

Two years ago, during the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, the sky-blasting cannon came out of the sky, and the Tibetans were so beaten that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

In this battle between our army and the Tang Dynasty's army, the Sky-Hunting Cannon has never appeared on the battlefield.

I think you have to be careful, otherwise...

Mr. Hou thinks that Li Shimin will use that sky-blasting cannon against us when we are at the end of the road. Yeon Gaesumun frowned.

He had heard about the power of the sky-blasting cannon.

I also know that that thing was invented by Zhao Chen, and it brought great lethality to Tubo.

Even Songtsen Gampo is trapped on the plateau now because he is afraid of that thing.

Yuan Gaisuwen was worried that he would encounter them before, but it was strange that the Tang army had been defeated so many times.

However, the sky-blasting cannon was not seen.

Over time, Yuan Gaisuwen even doubted whether Datang's sky-blasting cannon was lost.

Today, Hou Junji mentioned this thing again, which made Yuengai Suwen a little worried.

I now suspect that it was Zhao Chen who refused to use the sky-blasting cannon on the battlefield.

But now, the Tang army is retreating steadily, even endangering the entire Tang Dynasty. Even if Zhao Chen is unwilling, he will use this thing.

So... Hou Junji did not continue.

Go on.

But Yeon Gaesumun already understood what he meant.

If the Tang Dynasty was forced to have no way out, then the sky-blasting cannon would most likely appear on the battlefield.

Yeon Gae So Moon didn’t know what to say.

Even if Datang had the sky-blasting cannon, he couldn't just say that he wouldn't send troops to pursue them.

If he misses such a good opportunity, when the Tang Dynasty recovers, he will be the one who will die.

Even the entire Goguryeo will become a burial object of this war.

Commander, I just want to remind you that it's always better to be careful.

To be honest, General Huizhen is brave but not wise. Of course, the best result is to capture Li Shimin, but if the result is bad, he may not be able to come back. Hou Junji left the last words, and Yuan Gesu Wen bowed his hand and left the camp.

In the camp, Yuengai Suwen didn't speak for a long time.

Li Jing was also extremely surprised by Zhao Chen's arrival.

After all, the chaos in Chang'an was calmed down in such a short period of time, which was really a quick way to cut through the chaos.

The Xuanjia Army was returned to Zhao Chen's hands. When he learned that Zhao Chen was going to use the sky-blasting cannon on Yuan Gaisuwen's army, Li Jing just nodded and said nothing else.

Judging from the current situation, they are at the end of their rope.

Although the sky-blasting cannon was cruel, compared to the whole Tang Dynasty falling into war, Li Jing felt that this method was the safest.

In two days, the sky-blasting artillery shipped from Chang'an finally arrived at the front line.

Everyone in the court was his own, and the transporting troops were also Cheng Yaojin's cronies, otherwise it would not have been so fast.

Hulukou is a huge plain that can accommodate 30,000 people. Its entire shape is similar to Hulukou, narrow on the outside and loose on the inside.

As long as Yeon Gaesomun's army enters the gourd mouth, it will be plunged into the gourd mouth.

At that time, these people will become the ghosts in the mouth of the gourd.

At the same time, the front rebuked

Later, news came that Yeon Gaesumun's general Hye Jin was pursuing them with an army of 50,000 people.

At this moment, it was less than fifty miles away from Hulukou where they were.

Zhao Chen, the scouts have sent news that Huizhen is leading 50,000 people and is less than 50 miles away from us. Xu Shiji and Zhao Chen talked about the situation ahead.

Huizhen! When Qin Huaiyu heard Huizhen's name, a ferocious look appeared on his face.

Everyone understood that Qin Qiong died in the hands of Huizhen, and how much Qin Huaiyu wanted to seek revenge against him.

Qin San, this battle in Hulukou will be under your command. Zhao Chen looked at Qin Huaiyu and said.

Me? Qin Huaiyu froze on the spot.

There are so many generals here, and some of them are good at commanding. Why should he, Qin Huaiyu?

What, you don't dare? Zhao Chen stared at Qin Huaiyu.

Dare! Qin Huaiyu reacted immediately.

Zhao Chen is letting himself seek Hui’s true revenge.

The last general takes orders. Qin Huaiyu and Zhao Chen cupped their hands with cold expressions on their faces.

The others were silent.

The emperor gave Zhao Chen full authority to command everyone. If they objected, they were also opposing the emperor's decision.

Besides, what are they against?

Without Zhao Chen, would they be the opponents of Yeon Gaesumun's hundreds of thousands of troops?

If our army wins tomorrow, Huizhen's defeated army will definitely flee. On both sides of Hulukou are two peaks.

The remaining generals must block the two possible escape directions.

Fifty thousand Goguryeo soldiers, I will fill up the Calabash Valley with them. Zhao Chen said slowly, his eyes sweeping over the generals.

When Li Jing and Xu Shiji heard Zhao Chen's words, their expressions changed slightly.

Zhao Chen obviously did not leave any survivors for the Goguryeo soldiers.

Fifty thousand people, all killed?

Zhao Chen, don't we take prisoners? Xu Shiji couldn't help but ask.
