    The threat of force is always the fastest and most effective way to threaten.

    Early on the next morning, Zhang Wenyuan ordered Xu Huzi and Lu Huiyan, who were located on the left and right sides of the new city, to bombard the new city from both sides.  He used thunder to bombard the Goguryeo people to death.

    The new city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but there are plains on the east and west sides, which is most suitable for attacking with thunder cannons.

    The two of them had been waiting on both sides of the new city for several days. They had not received orders and had long since become impatient.  Therefore, after receiving the order, the two men immediately ordered dozens of thunder cannons to be deployed in front of the formation and began to attack the new city.

    Countless stone bullets flew hundreds of steps directly to the city wall, and then jumped over and crushed it.  On top of the city, those who were hit all had their limbs broken and were wailing in pain.

    The Sui army's thunder cannons bombarded the new city for two full hours. On the city walls on the east and west sides of the new city, corpses lay everywhere on the ground, and people mourned.

    Under the pressure of the Sui army's powerful offensive, the Goguryeo army in the city had to face the end of imminent destruction.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    News of the Sui army¡¯s bombardment of the new city reached the city lord¡¯s palace, and Andal didn¡¯t speak for a long time after hearing about it.

    He knew very well that the Sui army's revenge at this time was also the Sui army's ultimatum.

    Andal was in extreme pain. He neither wanted to close the door to the peace talks that had been opened with the Sui army, nor did he want to accept the conditions of "surrender"; he neither wanted to lead his troops to break out and bury the dead Goguryeo, nor did he want to  He fought to the end and became a prisoner of the Sui army.

    Unable to make a decision, Andal closed the door and thanked the guests. He was in a daze and did not think about eating or drinking for the whole day.

    At night, a pair of young children saw their father looking worried and deliberately ran to Andal's side to amuse him.  The sight of the little girl crying "Aye" in a babyish voice broke Andal's heart.

    The wife looked at her husband with sadness.

    "You do what you want to do, right? If anything happens, I will help you bring up your child."

    Andal couldn't help but shake his head, this lovely wife and concubine, who has taken advantage of her.

    Under the strong pressure of the Sui army, Andal finally decided to surrender.

    Andal sent a message to the Sui army through An Dianbao, willing to surrender unconditionally.  At the same time, he asked the Sui army to give him enough time to deal with the troops in the city who were unwilling to surrender.

    Zhang Wenyuan finally thought carefully and agreed to Andal's request.  He was willing to give Andal another chance, and of course it was the last chance.

    Andal was actually prepared to deal with all the ministries in the city. Of course, at that time, he was not intending to surrender, but to completely control the new city.

    Of the 40,000 Xincheng garrison, more than 14,000 are his direct descendants; there are also more than 6,000 Dai Lipeng's troops; there were more than 4,000 remnant soldiers who fled to Xincheng from various places in Liaodong; and Yuantai  Zuo Yin, the direct general of Zuo, commanded 15,000 men, totaling 39,000 troops.

    Among these troops, if Andal wants to surrender, Andal's headquarters will not have a big problem; the four thousand remaining soldiers will not resist; as for Dai Lipeng, Andal is not sure of his attitude; and Zuo Yin will definitely not choose to surrender.

    At this time, Andal's army did not have an absolute advantage over Zuo Yin. If his army merged with Dai Lipeng's army, Andal's army would become the disadvantaged party.  If he rashly declares surrender, not only will the possibility of success be extremely low, but his own safety may also be a problem.

    After Yuan Taizuo left, Andal used his inner troops to guard the city lord's palace, and also mobilized his headquarters to be responsible for the defense of the entire inner city of the new city.  Zuo Yin's troops were transferred to the outer city of Xincheng to garrison.

    At the same time, Andal ordered the senior generals of each ministry to live in the inner city in the name of preventing officers and soldiers from surrendering.  In the name of maintaining security in the inner city, a robber-catching bureau was established, with important positions held by his own confidants. A major function of this robber-catching bureau was to provide security for the residences and travel of senior generals in various ministries. In this way, Zuo Yinsuo  The generals of the Ministry are always under the supervision and control of Andal's cronies.

    On the morning of September 11th, Andal summoned the generals from various ministries to come to the city lord's palace for discussion to discuss how to resist the Sui army.  As soon as Zuo Yin, Dai Lipeng and other generals entered the meeting hall, they were cut off from the outside world.  Andal's cronies had already disarmed and controlled all the generals' guards.

    Andal did not hesitate and directly announced to everyone that Goguryeo was now dead. He did not want to see the sacrifice of the soldiers in vain, so he was ready to open the city gate and lead the soldiers to surrender to the Sui army.

    Those who are willing to surrender with him are brothers. He promises to lead everyone to a good future.  If he didn't want to surrender, he wouldn't force it.

    ? Some people were surprised, and some were convinced.

    Not big enoughSeveral people felt relieved after hearing Andal's surrender order.

    As long as Zuo Yin and other die-hard members of Yuan Taizuo immediately scolded Andal for his disloyalty, they cried, fussed and cursed, while Dai Lipeng kept a straight face and refused to express his stance.

    Seeing that about one-third of the generals did not cooperate with this matter, Andal was not polite to these people. He directly ordered his own soldiers to surround everyone, and then captured Zuo Yin and other direct generals of Yuan Taizuo.

    At this time, Andal persuaded Dai Lipeng to surrender with him. The two had been in alliance for so long, and he sincerely hoped that Dai Lipeng would surrender with him to increase his capital for surrender.  Dai Lipeng understood that the situation was irreversible, so he agreed to surrender.

    Andal then left Dai Lipeng in the city lord's palace, and ordered people to collect the weapons of various ministries.

    This time the takeover of the armies was very smooth. Because the armies in the city had lost their commanders and their morale was low, they did not resist Andal's troops at all, so they were all controlled by Andal.

    On the morning of September 12th, Andal ordered people to open the east gate and surrender to the Sui army.

    This time is true surrender.

    Andal's surrender caused the fall of the last Goguryeo stronghold in Liaodong.  The land of Liaodong, which had been occupied by the Goguryeo people for nearly three hundred years, completely returned to the embrace of the Han family.

    After Andal surrendered, the Sui army immediately took over the new city.

    The Sui army really did not trust the integrity of these Goguryeo people, fearing that it would be delayed for a long time and cause many twists and turns.  Therefore, after all the troops in the city lined up outside the city to accept the surrender, the Sui army immediately entered the city to occupy key areas and ensured that the new city was completely occupied.

    At this time, the Sui army's top priority was the nearly 40,000 Goguryeo army.  These people are all veterans. Although they have surrendered, if they are not handled well, chaos may occur.

    Usually, the Sui army treated Goguryeo prisoners and sent them to work in coal mines, river embankments, etc.  Except for a few people, most people will work until they die.

    But because Andal had surrendered in earnest, it was impossible for the Sui army to send everyone to work.

    After doing this, Zhang Wenyuan ordered that all those who no longer wanted to serve as soldiers were placed in Fangma or Hulu naturalization areas, and were organized into households, so that they could slowly become obedient citizens of the Sui Dynasty.

    Those who are willing to continue serving as soldiers will eliminate the old and weak and form a new naturalized army.

    No matter how you deal with it, these people can't be let go and let him continue to cause chaos.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
