The outer city of Pyongyang is very large, while the inner city is only a few miles in circumference, and the inner city is basically the residence of the Goguryeo royal capital and the nobles of the hundred officials.

Last night, there was a civil strife, and the royal guards suddenly made a ruthless move, killing thousands of Yuan parties in the inner city.

Although there are many more officials and aristocrats who are not affected, everyone is also at risk.

Compared with the outer city defense, the inner city is actually worse, after all, although the inner city is small, but because it is in the city, it lacks enough defense depth, neither a wide moat, nor a sheep and horse wall, nor an urn city.

The defense of the inner city was completely dependent on the gates and walls.

Although Luo Cheng's department did not have siege equipment, behind it was the outer city that they had just captured, and there were enough siege equipment.

What's more, the outer city was captured, and as many as nearly 100,000 Goguryeo people were now all captives of Luo Cheng.

The Left Fifth Army directly copied the tactics of the original Xinxia, driving countless Goguryeo prisoners from the arsenal and taking out one weapon after another.

There were both bows and spears, as well as siege crossbows and catapults, which were originally used as large instruments for defending the city, but at this time, they were reversed by Luo Cheng to attack the inner city.

Countless ladders were pushed under the inner city, and crossbow catapults were pulled over.

The rain of arrows poured into the city.

Under the city, a group of Sui troops with bows and arrows drove the Goguryeo people to push the chariot and hit the city gate.

"I didn't expect the resistance to be fierce!"

Luo Cunxiao sneered twice, "Didn't you find a lot of fire oil just now, then use a catapult to throw these oil drums into the inner city to see how fierce they can resist." ”

"That's not good, it's a pity if it burns out." Fu Gonghu Road.

It's just that Luo Cunxiao didn't care at all, "The people we sent to contact Laihu'er haven't come back yet, and there is no news at all, to be honest, no one knows where they have gone to Hu'er now." Besides, even if Laihu'er is still on the beach, but it's two hundred miles away from here, who knows if the Goguryeo army will come back first, or if Laihu'er will come first? What do you really think is the chance of actually taking Pyongyang? ”

"Don't you plan to occupy it?"

"Of course, it's good to be able to occupy it, but the chance is not great, so don't feel distressed, anyway, we can't occupy this Pyongyang city, just attack and kill."

Barrels of burning oil were thrown into the inner city, accompanied by stones one by one.

The inner city was on fire everywhere, and panic and chaos were everywhere.

Under the city, countless Goguryeo people were being driven to hit the city gates and dig the city walls, and the Sui army attacked the city in the most primitive and simple and crude way.

Although countless people fell under the city every moment, Luo Cheng didn't care, Sui Jun didn't care, and it wasn't his own people who died.

War is so cruel, in order to achieve the goal, fire and flooding are used to the extreme.

There are even people digging tunnels.

From morning to night, from night to morning.

The siege of the inner city lasted for a whole day and night, and nearly 30,000 Goguryeo people were killed and wounded under the city.

And the Left Fifth Army, with almost no casualties, has been recuperating all its strength.

"The Goguryeo army at the head of the city is almost exhausted, it's time to strike." Wei Zheng stared at the city, squinting.

Luo Cheng also nodded.

"It's almost, we can't drag on here for too long, we have to break the city first. Blow the trumpet, and let the brethren go up. ”

After staying up all night, the Sui army used countless Goguryeo cannon fodder to exhaust thousands of Goguryeo guards. For a whole day and a night, the attack never stopped, wave after wave, catapults and ballistas and tunnels and chariots, and the Goguryeo defenders had long been tired of it, and they couldn't even defend it in batches, because the siege was too fierce, and they had to exert all their strength at every moment, otherwise the city could fall at any time.

However, for the Sui army, this one-day and one-night attack was just foreplay.

The officers and men of the Fifth Army on the Left seized the time to rest for a day, and now it was finally time for them to make a move.

In the sound of the trumpet, countless bows and crossbows were fired in unison, and the sky was full of arrows, dense as locusts, accompanied by stones and fire oil, the power was even more fierce.

This is the sharp weapon that the Sui army has always been dominant, with a strong bow and crossbow at the same time, with a super strong bow and crossbow equipment rate of 12%, it can be concentrated in a short period of time, and it can be covered by super long-range firepower that cannot be imagined.

Although this kind of super fierce arrow rain often does not last, for the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Left Army, it does not need to last too long at all, all they need is the cover of crossbow arrows, use arrows and crossbows to suppress the already exhausted defenders on the city, and then launch a fierce attack.

Du Fuwei carried a large ring knife, raised a shield in one hand, and rushed to the front.

Although he is now also a deputy general, in this battle, he still rushed up without hesitation.

Wei Zheng was under the city, looking at the momentum of the Sui army descending the mountain like a tiger, and couldn't help but sigh, "With such a powerful crossbow and arrow Jijun covering, coupled with this fierce soldier who is not afraid of death, what other city in the world cannot be broken?" ”

The prince over there said distressedly, "Wei Sima knows how many arrows are shot out of this kind of attack?" And how much does each arrow cost? Even if such an attack only lasted a quarter of an hour, the amount of money and food consumed was unimaginable. ”

"Fighting a war is about making money, but as long as you can win, everything will be rewarded." Luo Cheng said lightly.

The Sui army is indeed strong, but it is a pity that Yang Guang has to personally command such a million-level battle. Although Hu'er and Yuwenshu are also fierce generals, when it comes to command, they are far inferior to Yu Zhongwen Li Jing and others, but the emperor did not use them for fierce generals like Zhongwen Li Jing and Luo Yi, and he interfered everywhere and commanded indiscriminately, which led to the Sui army having strong combat power, but it was always self-tied.

The Goguryeo people in the city were completely unable to raise their heads, and the Sui army poured into the city like a tide.

Du Fuwei jumped down from the ladder, a horizontal knife in one hand and a shield in the other.

Before he landed on the ground, he had already killed a Goguryeo soldier with a single sword.

More Sui troops also jumped onto the city.

An almost one-sided massacre followed.

No one could stop the attack of this Sui army.

The gates were slammed open.

Countless Sui troops shouted Long live Wan Sheng, and fiercely slaughtered into the inner city.

In less than two hours, the Left Fifth Army had already taken full control of the inner city, and then surrounded the palace city that was in the inner city.

"Kill!"

Du Fuwei didn't mean to stop at all, looked at the closed palace city, and rushed with a sword.

After a fierce battle for half a day, Miyagi fell.

In the twilight, the city of Pyongyang was lit up everywhere, and there were still some sporadic sounds of fighting in some corners.

Luo Cheng led a group of generals all the way through the city gate, and finally came to the palace.

"General, Gao Yuan has been captured, this old thief actually disguised himself as a woman and hid in a well, but he still couldn't escape the search of the soldiers."

Gao Yuan was brought up, he was embarrassed at this time, he was still wearing the costume of a palace maid, male or female, how ugly and ugly it was, trembling all over, trembling with his legs, as frightened as he wanted.

"Hello Gao Yuan, I am the Great Sui Right Yiwei Hu Benlang General, the Left Fifth Army General, the Liao Pioneer General, the Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, and the Xiangyang Hou Luocheng."

Gao Yuan's face is like dead ashes.

Cheng Wang was defeated and fell into the hands of the Sui army, and he had no hope.

"I will surrender, I will surrender." Gao Yuan said continuously.

Luo Cheng laughed for a while, "No, I don't need you to surrender, because you are already my captive." ”
