Under the city of Beisha. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Chao came to the city with 5,000 horsemen.

On the Great Black Mountain, the gables of Beisha City are winding like a coiling dragon, but no one in the Goguryeo garrison on the city dares to go out of the city to fight. This Tang army is so evil, they come all the way, and it seems that no one can stop them. No matter what kind of castle it is, it can't stop them from moving forward.

The outer fortress was small, but it was very strong, and under normal circumstances, even ten times the enemy could hold it for at least a month or two. But in front of Tang Jun, it was only a few days of effort. And they took it almost unharmed.

The Goguryeo people already knew that the gunpowder of the Tang army was too powerful, and no matter how strong the city gates and walls were, they would easily blast them open.

"It's a pity, we could have really had a chance to take this Beisha City." Li Chaodao.

After this period of training, his Marine Corps has been degenerated and sublimated. For tunnel blasting and artillery shooting, the technology is already very good.

The city of Beisha is indeed strong, but no matter how strong the city is, it is useless in the face of artillery and explosions. Historically, when the power of artillery became stronger, the traditional fortress became vulnerable, and later someone reformed the way castles were built.

A strong fortress and bastion capable of defending against artillery were built. The fortress is to turn a single weak defensive ring into a strong fortress with a deep defense, and there is no dead angle after being paired with firearms.

After the appearance of such fortresses, siege warfare became a long-term siege war again. Later, someone invented the method of ditch breaking, digging a trench to approach the castle, using a special position to avoid the fire on the city, and finally approaching the city, and then blasting.

Therefore, for the city, blasting is actually the simplest and most brutal way to break through.

Now, the Goguryeo people don't have such a complicated way of defense, and they are still using the traditional cold weapon era to defend the city to defend the land with artillery and superb blasting ability.

Although the Great Black Mountain City is on the mountain, it is actually not much difficult. After all, the defenders in the city are only 5,000, and Li Chao himself has 5,000.

If you take the Great Black Mountain City, then the entire southern Liaoning will really be in the hands of Li Chao.

The Great Black Mountain is dangerous, the city is high and the walls are strong, and with artillery and muskets, who can take it from him.

It's just that now, Li Chao doesn't have that time.

During this time, Li Chao had been waiting for Han Jing's order.

Desperate, he frantically trained the marines composed of 3,000 guards in his hands, and added 2,000 more.

Five thousand marines, this number, has already made many noble children secretly frightened.

"Uncle Cheng, go and call everyone from all the families, this day has finally arrived." Li Chao put away the edict of King Qin.

The old rascal Cheng Biting Jin's face turned red, "Damn, I'm just waiting for this day." ”

Under the Great Black Mountain.

Li Chao's camp.

Drumming and gathering.

The rumbling drums made the Goguryeo defenders on the mountain look uneasy and nervous.

But at the foot of the mountain, after hearing the sound of drums, the owners of this combined fleet, as well as the officers of the Marine Corps, rushed to the scene.

During this time, they have completely become accustomed to Li Chao's set.

Military.

Even if they are essentially just a free-spirited privateer fleet, here, everything is according to Li Chao's rules.

Li Chao's rule is military law management.

It has a combined fleet of more than 300 ships of all sizes, from more than 100 nobles of all sizes, who together form this 5,000-strong marine corps, as well as more than 300 privateers.

There are more than 100 large and small aristocratic families, and the children here are all concubines and the like, but they also represent the faces of each family here.

Li Chao's eyes swept over these people one by one, in fact, among these people, many people's fathers and brothers had already stood in Hanjing and chose the side of the Emperor Taishang.

However, Li Chao didn't plan to do anything to these people, the aristocracy is shameless, and the most shameless point is that these big families have many branches.

They are also accustomed to betting on multiple sides and taking sides in all directions.

Anyway, there is always one side that is right.

This is their usual practice, and even if the side that loses in the end does not actually connect to the other branches.

This kind of thing is very rare since the Wei and Jin dynasties.

When Yang Xuangan rebelled, Yang Guang returned from Gaomingli to quell the rebellion, and under the city of Luoyang, there were many noble sons and daughters who fought each other on the battlefield, and the two brothers were each on one side.

Even if the father is the prince of the country and the prime minister and the general, there are not a few sons who stand on the side of Yang Xuangan's rebels.

"Ladies and gentlemen, an angel has come from Hanjing with an important edict, and now I ask the angel to read the edict." Li Chaodao.

The envoy from Hanjing traveled day and night, for three days and three nights, changing horses and people along the way, and arrived in Dengzhou by speedboat.

When the letter arrived, it had been five days since the Hanjing Rebellion.

This is actually an extremely fast speed, but Li Chao had already received the news of the chaos in Hanjing a few days ago.

His news came through the Shadow's pigeon express system.

Two days later, the letter was transmitted to Liaodong through the Flying Pigeon Station.

It's just that Li Chao kept it a secret, and he was preparing while waiting for the arrival of the prince's edict.

With the edict in hand, the righteous King Qin can raise troops.

As soon as King Qin's edict was announced, the tent immediately boiled.

Everyone couldn't believe this thing at all, and Li Chao waited for them to be excited for a while before shouting to stop them.

"The angel from Han Jing also read out the edict, and everyone also saw that Chai Shao teamed up with Luo Yi, Li Xiaogong, Wen Daya, Pei Lian, Feng Lun and some other conspiracy careerists to launch a rebellion, they kidnapped the emperor, and then besieged the East Palace, seized the capital, and now in the name of the emperor, they want to disturb the world."

"Now that Your Majesty is on an expedition to the Western Regions, it is difficult to rush back to quell the chaos for a while. The crown prince ordered the loyal and righteous ministers of the world to raise troops to serve the king. How can I sit idly by as the Tang Dynasty and share weal and woe with the country? ”

"I have decided that the combined fleet and the Marine Corps will now be the Qinwang Army. Everyone, go back to King Jingqin together! ”

Li Chao described the Emperor Taishang's plot to restore as Chai Shao and others hijacking the Emperor Taishang's rebellion. Moreover, in addition to announcing the identities of Chai Shao and several people, he did not announce the identities of other nobles who voted on the side of the emperor.

"Zhao Guogong, is this true?" Some noble children still can't believe it.

"The edict brought by the angel can be seen by everyone, which has the signature of the prince, the signatures and seals of the prime ministers under the Zhongshu Gate, the signature of the minister of the Hanlin Academy, and the appointment of the Privy Council and the military talisman of the Ministry of War. Isn't that enough? ”

Li Chao's eyes swept away, and no one dared to speak.

"The ships of each family are now requisitioned, and the guards of each family are also the army of King Qin. Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, you will all be a staff adviser of a certain person, stay by my side to assist the staff officer, and the ships and escorts of each family will be unified into the Qinwang Army, which will be commanded and commanded by generals and leading officers at all levels. ”

In a word, Li Chao deprived these noble children of all the control of the ship and the marines, and directly left these people by his side, which can be regarded as turning these people into hostages in disguise.

Even if some of them had fathers, brothers, and relatives who defected to the Emperor, it would be impossible for them to hinder Li Chao anymore.
