Chapter 363 Surrender


Chapter 363 Surrender

The newly appointed King of Gaochang stood at the top of the city, looking at the endless array of Tang troops under the city with trembling fear. His arms were fighting, and he almost fell from the top of the city with his legs weak...

He had just completed the magnificent transformation from His Royal Highness to His Majesty the King. Although he had a deep understanding of the all-round gap between Gaochang Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, and knew that only by raising the flag and surrendering would there be a chance of survival, it was inevitable that he would have some small expectations in his heart.

Maybe the Tang Dynasty is not as powerful as it seems?

Perhaps the Turks would give the Tang army a hard blow in the back?

Or maybe, by mobilizing the entire city's youth, we can resist the Tang army's offensive?

For a delicate little grass like him who was born in the palace since childhood and is stronger than women, and is no better than the "why not eat minced meat", it is inevitable that he will have some unrealistic fantasies. In desperate times, everyone will have a little bit of "lucky" mentality.

But when he climbed to the top of the city and saw the mighty formation of the Tang army, he completely gave up all his thoughts.

Under the scorching sun, the flags were fluttering, and the densely packed Tang army marched forward slowly in neat steps. The dull footsteps were like thunder rolling in the sky, each sound shocked my heart, making my whole body numb, and my bones weak and weak!

The formation of tens of thousands of people slowly approached, calmly and leisurely. There was no noisy noise, only the mighty fighting spirit rising into the sky in silence!

The entire Gaochang Kingdom was trembling under this soaring intention, and was as humble as dust!

His Majesty the King of Gaochang, with his green lips and white lips, immediately issued a decree: "Quickly open the city and surrender! Don't let the heavenly soldiers misunderstand and be killed. We will all become the sinners of Gaochang!"

He is quick to see opportunities, but what can he do?

Facing the vast and powerful formation of the Tang army, all Gaochang soldiers secretly put down their weapons, took off their armor, and quietly blended into the civilians...

Under the city.

Fang Jun looked up at the tower, feeling a little helpless.

The army never encountered any resistance along the way, and it rushed straight to the gate of Gaochang City. It was feared that the morale of the entire Gaochang Kingdom had already dissipated, and Kaicheng would surrender in a short while. The anticipated war may not happen.

Without fighting, there is naturally no merit to be gained. The journey of thousands of miles is in vain...

Only the battle in which the Turkic cavalry was defeated at night was a comfort.

Hou Jun gathered his helmet and armor, and sat upright on his horse. The tens of thousands of troops behind him stood still, and a heavy murderous aura rose into the sky.

A white flag protruded diagonally from the city gate tower and waved vigorously several times.

Suddenly, the entire Tang Army's position let out an earth-shattering cheer, soaring into the sky, enough to make the wind and clouds move!

After a moment, the city gate slowly opened, and a man dressed in gorgeous royal robes walked out first.

Hou Junji sat on the horse, standing still. He looked around and said with a smile: "How dare Gaochang dare to oppose the Tang Dynasty? But he is still wise enough to surrender without a large army to attack the city, which can save the entire clan from being wiped out. What a sin!”

In one sentence, it was determined that the Gaochang royal family would not be implicated and the whole family would be killed.

The King of Gaochang didn't stop until he was a few feet away from the front army, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "King Ju Zhisheng of Gaochang has rashly offended the power of the Tang Dynasty. He knows that he has committed a serious crime and now leads the army and people of the country to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. . I hope the general will take pity on the people's hardship and not be too involved. Ju Zhisheng will be held responsible for all the crimes!"

There was a silence between the two armies before the battle, and only the voice of Gaochang King Ju Zhisheng could be heard loudly.

When Ju Zhisheng finished speaking, the civil servants and generals behind him all knelt on the ground and said loudly: "We are willing to surrender!"

Hou Junji waved his big hand, and the troops beside him took a sudden step, trotted around the group of Gaochang civil servants and generals kneeling at the city gate, and rushed into the city.

The army of the Tang Dynasty went on an expedition to the Western Regions. Wherever the troops came, they were invincible. Gaochang State surrendered without a fight!

Hou Junji sat proudly on the horse, his narrow eyes shining with excitement. How can worldly meritorious deeds be compared to those who destroy a country?

Although the whole country of Gaochang surrendered without a battle, it seemed that it was inevitable that the blood would be less ferocious and mighty and domineering, and it was difficult to show the advantages of General Hou who used troops like a god. But after all, it was the result of the destruction of the country. From then on, the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty , who else can compare?

Even Li Jing is not as good as someone!

Although Li Jing defeated the Turks, he did not eradicate them. He only caused the Turks to move westward, and the main force was still there. In comparison, they were inevitably inferior.

Hou Junji was full of ambition and rode forward. He came to the side of Gaochang King Ju Zhisheng, leaned over and asked: "Isn't Gaochang King Ju Wentai? That guy is arrogant, disrespectful and treacherous. I am about to take him back to Chang'an to hand him over." Your Majesty, where are you now?"

Ju Zhisheng broke out in a cold sweat and knelt on the ground as soft as a puddle of mud: "Ju Wentai is my father... My father passed away due to illness in the morning. I inherited the throne of the king. I deeply feel that my father has made all kinds of mistakes before, and I regret it so much. So, surrender In the Tang Dynasty, I also hope that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty will be so kind and forgive the offense committed by the Gaochang Kingdom. From now on, the king of Gaochang will be the loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty for generations; the Gaochang Kingdom will always be the barrier of the Tang Dynasty..."< br>


"Hehehe, hahaha"

Hou Junji seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He threw his head back and laughed so arrogantly.

But it's no wonder that he smiled so happily. Even Fang Jun behind him couldn't help but laugh. How naive does this Gao Changguo have to be to say such two hundred and five words?

The lineage of the King of Gaochang has been the loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty for generations; the country of Gaochang will always be the barrier of the Tang Dynasty...

Want to be beautiful!

The Tang Dynasty went on an expedition, but when you reached the end of the field, you surrendered without any pressure. Then you continued to be the king, and the kingdom still existed...

This person is so shameless and has a certain demeanor!

Fang Jun thinks so...

Hou Junji smiled and shook his head on his horse, and said: "Ju Wentai's betrayal came first, Gaochang's conquest of the allies came last, and the Tang army came thousands of miles away to conquer. How can it be done with just a surrender?"

After saying that, he pulled out the horizontal sword with a "clang" sound, waved his arm, and the sword flashed. Gao Changguo Ju Zhisheng didn't even scream, but his head was in a different place, and his big head was chopped off by Hou Junji. He fell and rolled a few times on the ground, then turned his back to the sky and refused to close his eyes.

The headless torso fell to the ground, blood gushing out from the severed head like a fountain.

"Ho! Roar! Roar!"

Tens of thousands of Tang troops shouted in unison, their morale was high!

All the civil servants and generals of Gaochang Kingdom were dumbfounded. They were stunned for a moment. Someone yelled, got up and ran away.

But before he could even take a few steps, the crossbow strings rang out continuously, and rows of crossbow arrows shot through the air, killing all of them in the blink of an eye.

The city gate was soaked in blood, and the morale of the Tang army was high!

Hou Junji waved his hand and shouted: "The whole army enters the city!"

"Roar——"

After hearing this order, all the Tang troops cheered loudly and rushed to the city gate, pouring into Gaochang City like a torrent.

Fang Jun was horrified, and quickly rode his horse to catch up with Hou Junji, saying urgently: "Commander, you must not do it! Tens of thousands of troops marched into the city together, and they will definitely not be able to restrain them. There will definitely be unruly people who ignore military regulations." , committing crimes is inevitable!”

Hou Junji reined in his horse and stopped, turned to stare at Fang Jun, and sneered: "Who said we need to restrain him?"

Fang Jun was stunned...

"The army went on an expedition to the Western Regions and traveled thousands of miles. You also know the hardships during the period. What are you all aiming for? It's just merit! Who would have thought that when they got to the top, the Gaochang Kingdom would surrender without a fight. Without a battle, there would be no merit to be gained. , morale must be low. Morale is the most important thing for an army. Why do you think they risk their lives and charge with me? Since they have no merit, then I have to get some other benefits for everyone..."

Hou Junji spoke fiercely and looked at Fang Jun with disdain.

At first glance, this boy is not a soldier. How can he be a woman when he is a soldier fighting in a war?

Fang Jun was stunned, but found that he was speechless...

How could this be?

As a commander, he naturally seeks benefits for his subordinates. Leading troops to victory is a benefit, so that everyone can gain military merit, be promoted and make a fortune, and receive tax exemptions and exemptions; then looting and looting after capturing an enemy city is also a benefit...

wrong!

This is not right!

This is the army, the regular army of the Tang Empire!

Does it make sense to plunder like bandits?

Besides, there are quite a few Han people in Gaochang City!

When these big-headed soldiers go crazy, what will they care about you, the Han people and the barbarians?

Fang Jun said sternly: "Commander, please take back your life!" (End of Chapter)
