The long-simmering heavy snow came very fiercely and quickly, and it continued until the early morning when it turned from heavy snow to light snow. A thick layer of snow also accumulated on the ground. When people stepped on places where they probably could reach their calves, although it had an impact on the attack, Qin Qiong still launched a general attack on the Goguryeo people according to the original plan.

For a moment, the Tang army stepped on the snow and lined up in neat formations. There was shield hands in front and throwers behind. Whenever they encountered the defense of the Goguryeo people, they would immediately throw out a bunch of firearms. Then the archers behind them shot arrows at once. Finally, the knife and axe players cleared the battlefield. Generally, after this process, no matter how tenacious the Goguryeo people were, they could not withstand it.

Li Xiu also stayed in the tent at the gate of Marundu City. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin have been here. They have never even met their eyes since yesterday, and they have not even forgotten to listen to the people below reporting the war situation while eating. This is the moment that can best show the command ability of the general, rather than personal bravery. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were both powerful generals on the battlefield before, but at this time they showed another side that they could not see normally.

As time went by, the Tang army began to advance slowly along various streets, and under the cost of attack, the Tang army suffered little casualties, especially the firearms exerted unparalleled power in this kind of street battle. No matter what kind of enemy, they would throw out a bunch of firearms, even the most powerful people could not bear it.

With the Tang army pressing step by step, the Goguryeo people could only slowly retreat, and the roar of firearms, their casualties were also very serious. In fact, with the current power of firearms, people cannot be killed directly. But what is more terrifying than firearms is the Tang army itself. Qin Qiong's elite soldiers were selected from thousands of soldiers. As long as the firearms could open a gap for them, the group of people would seize the opportunity to rush in, and then there was a tragic killing.

By the afternoon, the Goguryeo people had been compressed into the northern palace area. Later, there was the residence of the family of the family Suwen and his son, which was also the core area of ​​the entire Marudu City. This made the Tang army look like they were crazy and desperately trying to break through the defense of the Goguryeo people. After all, Qin Qiong had promised to seize the title of Quanga Suwen and give him a marquis and a thousand gold medals. Even if he couldn't catch Quanga Suwen, it would be a great achievement to seize Quanna Jian. This is a good opportunity to win his wife and son.

However, the Goguryeo people were forced to a corner at this time. At this time, they had no choice but to retreat. And to this extent, the Tang army would not accept their surrender. In fact, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were both red-eyed at this time. They had already decided to wipe out the last army of Goguryeo, so they did not even take prisoners. This also made the Goguryeo people give up all their fantasies. Even if they died, they would have to kill a Tang army together. However, in the face of the Tang army's excellent equipment and rich experience, it was not easy for them to die with the Tang army.

"The Goguryeo people have all been compressed near the palace. We should also come to the battlefield in person to witness the demise of Goguryeo!" Qin Qiong, who was in charge of the tent, slapped the table and said, although Pyongyang had fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, Quanga Suwen did not die for a day, and the Tang Dynasty could not fully control Goguryeo for a day, and today he will completely eliminate this hidden danger for the Tang Dynasty.

"Hehe, I want to pull Quan Gai Suwen's head down and give it to His Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin also laughed loudly at this time. After working hard for two days and one night, it is finally time to reap the results.

Seeing that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were going to command the army on the battlefield, Li Xiu couldn't sit still. After all, he wanted to witness it with his own eyes at such an important moment, so after obtaining Qin Qiong's consent, he also rode on his horse and followed Qin Qiong and the others to the direction of the palace.

Compared to yesterday, today's Marundu City has turned into piles of ruins, especially because the Tang army set fire yesterday, many houses were burned, some of which were burned black, and the snow had long turned into water, mixed with black ash and blood, turning into a color that turned red in black, and then frozen into ice. Li Xiu and the others walked slowly along this black and red street.

In addition to the burned houses and blood on the ground, the most common ones on the street were various corpses, as well as some fortifications left by the Goguryeo people. These fortifications were originally intended to hinder the advance of the Tang army, but they did not play a big role. Some fortifications were covered with dead bodies, frozen together by melted snow water, forming piles of even more tragic piles of ice corpses. If you want to clean them up in the future, you may have to wait until the spring next year.

The more you go, there are more dead bodies on the street, which also shows that the previous battle is more tragic. Although many of the dead bodies are Goguryeo, many of them are soldiers from the Tang army. At this time, there are no time to help them collect the bodies. Only some medical officers shuttled through the bodies, hoping to find some injured and undead soldiers to carry them to the rear for treatment. Of course, if the non-dead people were Goguryeo, they would also make up for it.

Because there were too many dead bodies on the street, Li Xiu and the others rode their horses for nearly half an hour before they arrived near the palace. They saw that this place was surrounded by the Tang army, and behind the palace was a steep mountain peak, with no way to escape. The Goguryeo people formed a battle formation in the square in front of the palace gate, tenaciously resisting the attack of the Tang army. Even if every attack by the Tang army could cause rows of Goguryeo people to fall down, no one took a step back.

"Why are these Goguryeo people so tenacious? If we allow them to surrender, will their fighting spirit be disintegrated?" Li Xiu looked at the Goguryeo people who were resisting tenaciously in the square, and couldn't help but speak. He was not sympathetic, but worried that if the Goguryeo people resisted stubbornly, they would also cause certain casualties to the Tang army.

"It's useless. Quan Gai Suwen is not a fool. He sent the Goguryeo people who may surrender to the periphery. They have almost been wiped out by us before. All the rest are his confidants. As long as Quan Gai Suwen does not surrender, they will fight to the end." Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said, after two days and one night of fighting, most of the more than 30,000 Goguryeo people were killed and injured. Now there should be more than 10,000 Goguryeo people in the palace. These are also Quan Gai Suwen's last support and the last established army of Goguryeo.

"Preparation of bed crossbows and catapults, these Goguryeo people will only become hidden dangers for the court to rule Liaodong in the future. It would be better to let them be buried with Goguryeo!" Qin Qiong said very coldly at this time. Although he usually remembers the words "benevolence and righteousness" in his heart, he cannot tolerate any kindness on the battlefield.

Hearing Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin say this, Li Xiu sighed secretly. The casualties of the Tang army are now beyond expectations, but as long as the Tang army can be completely eliminated, the price they paid before will be worth it.

With Qin Qiong's order, the crossbow and the catapult were also pushed out. Then the crossbow arrows, gunpowder bullets and sulphur bombs were fired together. These weapons were usually used to attack cities. When fragile human bodies encountered them, they were like paper-paste. Especially the explosion of gunpowder and the burning of sulphur oil made the Goguryeo people in the square scream. Without the protection of the city wall, they had no power to fight back against the Tang army. At this time, it was no longer a war, but a massacre.

"Father, the soldiers outside can no longer withstand it. Let's let them retreat to the palace and use the palace walls to resist the attack of the Tang army!" Under the head of the palace, Quan Nanjian looked at the soldiers who died tragically under the Tang army, and immediately said loudly with tears in his eyes.

However, Quan Gai Suwen was turned a blind eye to his son's words at this time, and his eyes were staring at the killing field outside. There was no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking?

"Father, it's already this point. It's impossible for us to keep here. There is a secret passage in the palace that leads to the mountains. Father, you'd better run away quickly. Just leave the child here!" Quan Nanjian saw that his father didn't say anything, and he also spoke again. At this time, even he gave up his last bit of extravagance. Now he only hopes that his father can survive, so that their Quan family may have hope of making a comeback in the future.

When Quan Gai Suwen heard his son's words, he finally had a slight reaction. He saw his face twitching a few times, and finally sighed suddenly and said, "I'm old, and I'm tired of running away. Today, let me fight with Tang Jun. Nan Jian, please leave along the secret path. This will leave a fire for our Quan family!"

"Father must not be. You are the head of our Quan family. And as long as you are alive, you can call on countless patriots to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can our Quan family have hope. If I escape, I can only be a loser, and it is useless to be a loser!" Although Quan Nanjian was very proud, he was very self-aware at this time. After all, compared to his father's prestige, he was really far from his prestige. Even if he escaped, no one would care about him.

"The Tang Dynasty mobilized many troops, and even the emperor was in charge of the army. How could it give us a chance to turn things around after paying such a great price? So if I escape, I could only be a betrayal dog. I think I, I am a hero in the end, so I would rather die here than live in vain. Moreover, Marudu City is still the old capital of our Goguryeo, and I can die here as a place!" At this time, Quanga Suwen spoke again.

"Okay, that kid will die here with his father!" Quan Nanjian gritted his teeth and said again. He is also an arrogant person. If his father died here in battle, he would not want to survive.

Hearing Quan Nanjian say this, Quan Gai Suwen couldn't help but show a helpless expression. After a moment, he said, "Okay, then we father and son will go out of the city together. Let's see who will kill more Tang people!"
