Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 116: Liu Rengui's troops defeat the Goguryeo army

The wind howled, stirring up the world, sand and rocks flew everywhere, as if a completely different world had been created. The sky was covered with dark clouds, which pressed down as if they were about to fall, making people feel extremely depressed and heavy.

“It’s coming! It’s coming!”

As thunder roared, bean-sized raindrops poured down like a bucket, hitting the dry ground and raising pieces of dust. The dust was quickly wetted by the rain, forming deep puddles.

The rain in June was heavy and fast. The raindrops hit the ground fiercely, making a crisp and loud sound.

Cheng Chumo stood in the rain and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be careful. Don't fall to your death before you kill the enemy."

His voice echoed over the sound of the rain but was quickly drowned out.

Countless hemp ropes hung down from the top of the cliff, like giant black pythons hovering above the steep cliffs.

The Tang army soldiers held on to the ropes tightly and climbed up the steep cliffs in the pouring rain. The stone wall became extremely slippery due to the rain, and if they were not careful, they would slide down and be smashed to pieces.

After a long period of effort, more than a thousand elites finally succeeded in getting down the cliff, and they were all soaked.

Cheng Chumo whispered, "Everyone hide immediately and wait until night to attack."

His order spread to every corner, and the soldiers looked for hiding places.

The soldiers immediately hid in the crevices of the rocks, took out the dried fish and started chewing them, trying to keep their strength up at all times in order to deal with any emergencies.

At the same time, the soldiers led by Cheng Mingzhen on another route had also landed.

The troops divided into two groups.

The rain kept falling at night, and the fine raindrops kept hitting the ground, making a crisp sound.

In this dark rainy night, all movements and traces were covered up without a trace.

The Goguryeo camp was completely dark, with almost no light. Only in a few tents could one see the faint flickering of fire.

Under the cover of darkness and the sound of rain at night, this place became an ideal place for killing.

With a burst of sound, the arrow flew through the night sky and accurately hit the Goguryeo defenders on the sentry post. They fell in a pool of blood before they even had time to scream.

With a few bangs, the bodies fell heavily to the ground, but were soon drowned out by the sound of wind and rain.

Cheng Chumo waved his arm decisively, and the bare-chested elite soldiers behind him immediately split into two groups, holding sharp Tang swords, and quickly rushed into the tent.

There was a commotion in the tent, and the smell of blood filled the air. However, these sounds were swallowed up mercilessly by the sound of rain.

The Tang army soldiers moved silently in the enemy camp like ghosts. They moved quickly and coordinated well, rushed into the tents, and without saying a word, raised their swords and chopped.

The miserable voice seemed so helpless amid the thunder and rain.

Soon after, the sound of drums suddenly rang out in the center of the camp, instantly breaking through the sound of rain and thunder in the night.

"Kill!" More than a thousand Tang soldiers shouted in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth. Their shouts were like notes demanding death, ringing in the ears of the Goguryeo soldiers.

The enemy is attacking!

This news caused countless Goguryeo soldiers to panic, and the entire military camp fell into chaos and fear.

At this time, the night was dark, and no one could see the enemy or the enemy. The Tang soldiers had already stripped off their clothes and rushed into the battlefield naked, cutting down anyone they met, like a tiger pouncing on a flock of sheep.

Every time the knife was swung, one or two people would fall to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, it was a horrible sight. This was simply a bloody feast of slaughter!

Cheng Chumo was even more brave. He held two swords in his hands, wielding them left and right, fighting all the way, and no one could stop him.

From the south gate all the way to the east road, blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like a mountain. His eyes were cold and ruthless, without any intention of blinking or showing mercy.

In contrast, the Goguryeo soldiers seemed panic-stricken and at a loss. They fled in all directions in chaos, even trampling on each other, resulting in more deaths.

Although the Tang army was small in number, the ignorant Goguryeo army had no idea of ​​its actual number and strength.

This night attack was destined to end in Goguryeo's disastrous defeat.

"Boom! Boom!"

In Beisha City, the mighty sound of war drums came like thunder, deafening.

Immediately afterwards, several gorgeous fireworks rose into the sky, and then exploded with a bang, turning into brilliant sparks, illuminating the entire rainy night.

The bright light at that moment clearly illuminated the figures of the Tang army all over the mountains. They rushed in like a flood, rushing down the mountain with great momentum and unstoppable force.

This scene made the already panicked Goguryeo soldiers even more panicked. They stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes and horror, their hearts filled with despair and helplessness.

"kill!"

At the same time, Cheng Mingzhen on the other side also let out a loud roar.

As his orders were given, countless arrows rose into the air like locusts, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, they shot towards the fortress at the pass.

Cheng Mingzhen's mission was to lead the army to bypass the enemy's rear, attack and occupy the important stronghold guarding Shangbeisha City, and open up a way for the subsequent army.

Soon, hooks flew to the top of the fortress, and the Tang soldiers skillfully used ropes to jump onto the city. Holding sharp blades, they occupied the top of the city and fought with the defenders.

The gate of the fortress was finally breached. Cheng Mingzhen led the Tang army to kill all the way, unstoppable, and in a short time they conquered this solid fortress and successfully opened a passage to the Goguryeo base camp.

Afterwards, the main force quickly followed and joined the battlefield. Under the powerful offensive of the Tang army, the Goguryeo army completely collapsed, leaving behind nearly 10,000 corpses, and fled to Jian'an City with the remaining soldiers in a panic.

"General Liu, our army is now at its peak. We should rush thousands of miles to kill the enemy and capture Jian'an City in one fell swoop."

Cheng Mingzhen was covered in blood, but he was still determined to fight and volunteered again.

"Cheng Mingzhen, listen to my orders. I order you to lead a thousand cavalry as the vanguard to pursue the remaining enemy forces and kill the main force of Goguryeo outside Jian'an City as much as possible."

"Cheng Chumo listened to the order and reorganized the army. He left some Tang soldiers to guard the ships and Beisha City, and dispatched the foreign troops in Beisha City to follow the main army to attack Jian'an City."

Liu Rengui was not a hesitant person, nor was he a soft-hearted person.

He had only been leading the army for a few short months, but his natural charisma as a leader had already been revealed.

Orders are strictly enforced and the most appropriate arrangements are made every time.

Even the veteran Cheng Mingzhen was willing to let him deploy the troops and no longer had any complaints as before.
