Chapter 417 (1/2)
After Li Hong shot an arrow again, the gate opened slowly. The guard General of humiliating Yi City, led by his soldiers, stood on both sides of the gate without weapons in his hands. A white flag was raised behind him and swayed to the army of the Tang Dynasty.
”Your Highness The guard general Hua Meng raised his telescope and took a look at the general and the lieutenants. He said in doubt.
”If you change people, pay attention to the soldiers around him. They must be among them. As soon as they get close to the gate, they will be controlled.” Li Hong took the lead to walk to the gate of the city.
The letter of surrender is an indispensable document for abandoning the city and surrender. It needs to be handed over to the general of shangguo. Only in this way can we ensure that the city guards will not be slaughtered in anger by the general of shangguo.
The three thousand troops behind him were still unhurried, about a hundred paces away from the three men in front of them, but the bows and crossbows in their hands were all ready to shoot.
Seeing that the Tang army was peaceful, but extremely cautious, he stabbed the private general behind him, indicating that he would immediately come forward to hand over the surrender document, so as not to make the Tang army suspicious.
Li Hongduan sat on his horse's back and watched the general running by and took over the surrender document of abandoning the city. In the whole process, he did not even look behind the general, pretending to be a real general.
The posture leisurely sits on the horse's back, naturally lets that false guard general to help oneself to lead the reins, step by step walks toward the city.
At this time, the sound of horse's hooves sounded behind him. Wei Tuqi, the captain of the prince's Royal Guard, looked at the Koguryo soldiers who turned around and roared, ”I am the general's personal guard leader. When I enter the city, I will defend the general.”
After that, without waiting for Koguryo's fake general to react, Wei Tu Qi took the lead, and coincidentally surrounded the false general and the true guard general with Hua Meng, Jing Zhe and other pro Guard soldiers behind him.
Zhenshou general yizhihou and two other adjuncts, who also acted as soldiers, looked at each other and felt that they were black in front of them. The man who said that he was the leader of the general's bodyguard, like a tie-in, grabbed his shoulder, and a bright and sharp blade was already around his neck.
Wei Tuqi had a palm as big as a PU fan and held a small dagger, which was invisible to other Koguryo soldiers. Before the Tang army had fully entered the city, his guard general and his three deputy generals had completely controlled their real general. Before the Tang army had begun to play a role, they were seen through by shangguo.
Yi Zhihou and his two guards were shocked, and their three pairs of eyes were full of surprise and perplexity at the same time. How could this be possible? How did they find themselves changing clothes with their own soldiers?
Even if you and others have appeared in the city, but that is more than 500 steps away from the Tang army. Are they thousand mile eyes? Can you see yourself and others at such a distance?
In any case, they could not have imagined that there was indeed a thing called Qianliyan in Datang. They had already confirmed their identity when they first boarded the city tower.
Li Hong continued to sit on the horse's back and looked at the generals who had been actually controlled. He gave a sneer from the corners of his mouth. Behind him, there was also a deafening sound of horse's hooves. At this time, 3000 soldiers and horses had entered the city and began to walk towards their officials.
When Li Hong entered the city of humiliation and began to control the whole city and 50000 Koguryo soldiers, Princess Wencheng and Princess Honghua were invited to the back Palace by his mother.
Along with the two royal princesses, there were Princess Chengyang, Princess Xincheng, and Princess Lanling, the 19 daughters of the late emperor. The five daughters were accompanied by Li Xian, the prince of PEI.
Naturally, their argument from the very beginning was on the Prince Li Hong who was taking over the humiliating city in Liaodong.
Wencheng and Honghua, who were divided into two groups, naturally had little affection for Li Hong. One was actually controlled by Li Hong, the other was occupied by Li Hong and their land was not returned.
In this way, it is strange that Wencheng and Honghua have a good feeling for Li Hong.
Chengyang, Xincheng and Lanling, who were close to Li Hong in recent years, naturally criticized Wen Cheng and Honghua for criticizing Li Hong.
