Du Qi led the army under his command and arrived outside the pass. The army fell into formation. For now, Du Qi did not give the order to bomb. He urged his horse forward and stopped about 80 paces from the gate tower of Qing Pass. He raised his head and looked up.
"Where is Yeon Gaesomun? "
Du Qi called out.
The translator at his side immediately relayed the message.
Yeon Gaesomun had already reached the gate tower. When he saw Xia Xia's army outside, his eyes were as sharp as knives as he stared at Du Qi on horseback, wanting nothing more than to kill Du Qi. Alas, killing Du Qi was very difficult, and Du Qi was protected at all times.
Yeon Gaesomun said, "Du Qi, this official is right here on the gate tower. If you have the ability, then come to the pass. I'd like to see just how you'll break through my Goguryeo's impregnable pass, Daqing Pass. " "Sigh."
Du Qi smiled. "We called you out to ask you a question. Yesterday, on the Datong River, you said that if Our army crossed the Datong River in four hours, you would take out your sword and commit suicide. But at the time, you did not take out your sword and commit suicide. On the contrary, you ran away like a rabbit. Now that We have brought the army here, We want to ask you if you will fulfill your promise from yesterday. " "Sigh."
Swish!
Yeon Gaesomun's face instantly collapsed.
His face was covered in embarrassment.
That despicable Du Qi.
Yesterday, Yeon Gaesomun had gambled that Du Qi would not be able to cross the river, but to his surprise, Du Qi's warships appeared out of nowhere and crushed all his warships. The Datong River, which had seemed like a natural moat, seemed like it was made of paper, unable to stop the assault.
Yeon Gaesomun snorted. "Du Qi, this official was just messing with you, playing a joke on you." "Sigh."
His skin was as thick as thieves.
In front of Du Qi, in front of all the soldiers under his command, he spoke very calmly. After all, he couldn't evade Du Qi's question, so he simply said that he was joking.
Du Qi clicked his tongue and sighed. "Yeon Gaesomun, you are the Prime Minister of a country. No, you're actually the current ruler of Goguryeo. After all, you killed Prince Rongliu, Gao Jianwu. You created a new King of Goguryeo. In other words, you're the emperor of Goguryeo. It's inappropriate to call you a ruler. "
Pausing for a moment, Du Qi continued, "As the emperor of Goguryeo, you went back on your words. Given your actions, who would be willing to believe you? Yeon Gaesomun, oh, Yeon Gaesomun, if I were you, I would rather commit suicide to fulfill my promise and fulfill my reputation than retreat. "
Yeon Gaesomun's face twitched.
That damned Du Qi!
It was simply disgusting.
But Yeon Gaesomun couldn't answer. After all, he was the one who hadn't fulfilled his promise, the one who had gone back on yesterday's agreement.
Yeon Gaesomun was no longer willing to waste words with Du Qi, so he simply said, "Du Qi, don't try to pester me endlessly. Do you still want to attack or not? If you don't want to attack, then just retreat back to the Xia of Xia. If you want to attack, this official will respectfully wait here. All of Goguryeo is waiting for you to come and fight. "
Du Qi shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face. "Yeon Gaesomun, for better or worse, you're still a hero of a region. Alas, you didn't keep your word and shamelessly refused to acknowledge it. Disappointing, too disappointing. "
Yeon Gaesomun said, "Du Qi, do you have the guts or not? If you do, then attack. It's truly shameful to say such useless words. You're the emperor of the Xia of Xia, but you're so wishy-washy that others look down on you. "
He was infuriated.
Thus, he began to curse.
Du Qi was not angry when he heard this, because this was exactly the effect he wanted.
He wanted to infuriate Yeon Gaesomun.
He wanted Yeon Gaesomun to lose all reason.
Du Qi continued, "Yeon Gaesomun, as the emperor of Goguryeo, you're the prime minister of the Xia of Xia. The prime minister of a country is not only an important official of the country, but also a model for the country. Alas, all you do is open your mouth and spout vulgarities. Alas, the reason why Goguryeo has never been civilized, why it can't be like the Xia of Xia, is precisely because it has people like you.
"Yeon Gaesomun, if I were you, I wouldn't say such things. I would just charge out. You would open the door and fight with Us. If you win, Goguryeo will remain standing. If you lose, Goguryeo will submit to the Xia of Xia. "
Du Qishou said, "It's a very simple matter. Why do you have to put up a resistance and continue this pointless struggle? "
Yeon Gaesomun said, "Do you think I'm as stupid as you? "
Du Qi said, "Yeon Gaesomun, you've always been stupid! You started a mutiny in Pyongyang and killed Gao Jianwu. It seemed like you resolved the threat in the rear. In reality, you cut off one of your own arms! Gao Jianwu has been the King of Goguryeo for many years. Even if he has other thoughts, even if he has other ideas, killing people is not the solution. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "By doing this, you'll only make yourself suffer. So, aren't you stupid? I say you're stupid, but you don't admit it. There's nothing to be done about it. A fool like you is just this stubborn. "
Du Qi's words were like the tip of a knife, stabbing into Yeon Gaesomun's heart.
Yeon Gaesomun was furious.
He had always had a fiery temper, and upon hearing Yeon Gaesomun's words, he was even more enraged. He found it almost impossible to suppress his rage, and he wanted to come out of seclusion and start a slaughter on the battlefield, making Du Qi shiver in fear.
Song Yunde saw that Yeon Gaesomun was about to explode in anger and hurriedly warned, "Don't fall for the trap! This Emperor of Xia Xia is incomparably cunning. He's intentionally targeting you in order to provoke you and make you lose your rationality. If you lose your rationality now, you'll fall for Emperor of Xia Xia Du Qi's trap. "
Wang Xiangxiong also said, "This subject also agrees with Military Advisor Song's words. If we directly charge out, we'll fall into Du Qi's trap. Thus, we can't make any mistakes. We must defend Daqing Pass to the death. " "Bang!"
Yeon Gaesomun clenched his fists and punched the walls. He stared out of the city and shouted, "Du Qi, this official is just this crude. What can you do about it?" "Bang!"
Du Qi said, "Yeon Taizuo is also a prominent figure, and the Yeon Clan is also a noble clan in Goguryeo. I didn't think that someone like you would appear. Yeon Gaesomun, you can also be considered a hero. But it's a pity that your actions will only lead to the destruction of Goguryeo. Yeon Gaesomun, We will give you one more chance. Open and surrender. If you have a shred of humanity left in you, open Daqing Pass and surrender. If you insist on resisting, you'll only be sending your soldiers to their deaths. "
Yeon Gaesomun said, "Du Qi, why don't you stop your attack? Only then will you have humanity. " "
Du Qi said, "We attacked Goguryeo in accordance with the will of the heavens, in order to avenge Gao Jianwu, in order to free the millions of Goguryeo commoners from the sea of suffering so that they won't sink into it again." ""
Yeon Gaesomun almost vomited blood.
This standard left one speechless.
So if I, Yeon Gaesomun, led my soldiers to resist, I would be hurrying to ruin things, doing something completely devoid of conscience, devoid of humanity. And you, Du Qi, attacking is in accordance with the will of the heavens. "
Yeon Gaesomun's heart burned with rage. He clearly knew that Du Qi was pestering him endlessly and using words to provoke him, but Yeon Gaesomun's temper simply could not be controlled.
His heart burned with rage.
Yeon Gaesomun took a deep breath and called out, "Du Qi, cut the crap. If you have the guts, then attack. I, Yeon Gaesomun, am here, waiting for you to attack. " ""
Du Qi clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Yeon Gaesomun, what a pity, what a pity!" ""
At this moment, Zhu Youtian had already arrived at Du Qi's side and said, "Your Majesty, although Yeon Gaesomun is standing near the walls, our cannons are already aimed at Yeon Gaesomun on the walls of Daqing Pass. Now, we can fire. " "Fire!"
"Fire!" "Fire!"
Du Qi ordered.
This was Du Qi's true goal.
He had spoken to Yeon Gaesomun and called him out precisely so that the cannons in the rear could aim at Yeon Gaesomun's position. This way, the cannons would be able to capture Yeon Gaesomun in a single blow.
Zhu Youtian immediately ordered.
Boom! "Boom!"
The cannons exploded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!! Boom! "
The sound of cannons rose and fell without end. Cannons roared as cannonballs flew through the air, heading straight for the Qing Kingdom's Guanyin Gaesomun.
Yeon Gaesomun heard the cannons and suddenly understood. "Not good, we've fallen into a trap." "Shit!"
"Hurry and retreat!" "Retreat!"
Yeon Gaesomun shouted.
Yeon Gaesomun was incomparably frantic.
