Chapter 1010: Set an example
The snow is carved with flags, and the wind is mixed with the sound of drums. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the captives heard this, they should be frightened, and they knew that the short soldiers did not dare to take it.
Outside the city of Pyongyang, a dragon flag was unfurled, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were in a strict formation, as if falling from the sky.
A few days earlier, 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Xia Hongsheng and Xi Junmai had arrived in Pyongyang.
The Goguryeo rulers in Pyongyang obviously did not expect to see the Tang army under Pyongyang so suddenly. For a time, the people in Pyongyang panicked, and the defenders closed the city gates, not daring to go out of the city to meet the battle.
This gave Xia Hongsheng and Xi Jun the opportunity to buy and let them besiege the city of Pyongyang.
The soldiers did not attack the city, and after besieging Pyongyang, they shouted all day long that the city of Anshi had been broken and the Goguryeo army had been dispersed. The Tang Dynasty thought that the people were innocent and did not want the people in Pyongyang to suffer from this, so they gave three days to surrender in Kaesong. Otherwise, three days later, the Tang army will show its might.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Datang's artillery is ready at this moment.
He has also shot the war letter on the city wall with bows and arrows, telling the defenders of Pyongyang that today is only a deterrent, and they do not want to cause more misery to the lives of the people. Therefore, only the west gate was attacked, and only a stick of incense was attacked, so as to set an example. I hope that the defenders and people in the city, after seeing the power of the Tang army, can repent and surrender immediately.
The army was arrayed, and the artillery was already aimed at the West Gate Tower of Pyongyang City.
"General Xia, just say a few words!" Xi Junmai led the horse to Xia Hongsheng's side, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Before every battle, the morale of the generals will be boosted. ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded, Le Ma looked back at the Tang soldiers behind him and on his side, and suddenly his brain twitched, and a paragraph appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Soldiers, the battles in the past few days have almost made you travel all over Europe...... Ahem, Liaodong! The front is Mo ...... Ahem, the capital of Goguryeo! Get there, wash your war bodies! ……”
Xi Junmai, as well as the generals in front of the battle, everyone looked at Xia Hongsheng inexplicably.
"Uh, General Xia, what do you mean by that? ......" Xi Jun asked puzzled.
Xia Hongsheng smiled, scratched his head, but scratched his helmet, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Without him, cough cough, I just want to say this once...... I'm really, really! ”
"- Gentlemen, in front of you is the capital of Goguryeo, the city of Pyongyang! If we can take him down, this is the work of destroying the country by expanding the territory and opening up the territory! I picked out the saved ammunition in front of it, and I left it for today! You're all working hard to bang the fuck with General Ben! Today's shelling, the time of a stick of incense. In this time of incense, regardless of ammunition, the two cannon barrels in front of you are replaced! Use that if this is hot, use that again. Watering and cooling down a little bit more quickly, filling the projectile faster! Broke the west gate of Pyongyang, tonight's braised pork stew, two big bowls per person! See the box behind you? Who the fuck has soft hands, and if you don't finish the few boxes of ammunition behind you, don't even think about eating tonight's meat stew! Don't even think about going back and letting His Majesty personally present the medal, do you hear?! ”
"I heard you!" The artillerymen were gearing up and excited.
After speaking, Xia Hongsheng turned his head to look at the west gate of Pyongyang City, where the defenders were not more than the defenders on the other city gate towers, it must be that the Goguryeo people thought that the war book was just a strategy to deceive the enemy, and it was a method to attack the west from the east, saying that they were going to attack the west gate, so that the defenders could hit the west gate, but instead attack the weak points of the other defenders.
Looking at the mortar on his side, as well as the artillery in the distance behind him, Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but laugh.
Give the dummy? Do you need it?
The bright light armor of the Tang Dynasty soldiers reflected the dazzling light of the sun, and in the eyes of the defenders on the city wall, it was a chill.
Looking at the chanting of the Tang army soldiers below, the confident momentum unconsciously made the news of the destruction of Anshi City due to the sudden appearance of the Tang army, and the lack of confidence added a lot of trouble.
The hour has come.
Xia Hongsheng and Xi Junmai glanced at each other.
The artillerymen have already put on earplugs.
"Herald-" Xia Hongsheng took a deep breath: "Fire!" ”
With the military order, the flag in the flag bearer's hand flew up and down, and then threw it down vigorously.
"Boom!"
It was as if the air around him had been emptied in an instant, and it was as if a heavy hammer had slammed into his heart, and the whole earth suddenly shook, only to see patches of white smoke suddenly churning.
In the next moment, before the Goguryeo defenders on the city wall reacted from the earth-shattering earthquake, they saw the west gate tower of the city wall, accompanied by the loud earthquake, suddenly exploded everywhere, and the strong city wall and city tower were as if they had smashed a boulder into the water at this moment, scattering and splashing in all directions!
"Boom-boom-boom-"
A cannon sounded, and each one was followed by the collapse of a city tower and a city wall.
There is no way to defend against it, there is no way to fight back, there is no way to deal with it...... The defenders on the city walls were at a loss and panicked, and all their preparations, all their preparations, all their preparations, were now all in vain and ornamental.
The time of a stick of incense seemed so long in the sound of artillery, but it was so fast.
As soon as the incense burned, the sound of the artillery stopped abruptly, as if the whole space had fallen into a dead silence, only a scream in the ears, and the dead silence was terrifying.
This sudden dead silence gilded everything with a layer of unreality.
The west gate of Pyongyang is broken.
The towering and solid city wall in Xunri, which brought a sense of security to the people in the city and made the rulers of Goguryeo think that it was as strong as Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, at this moment, the section of the West Gate has become a ruin of rubble, and it has no unusual appearance.
Xia Hongsheng took off the earbuds and raised his hand to wave it gently.
The herald waved the order flag, and the Tang army quietly and slowly retreated.
As quietly as it came.
Countless pieces of paper were left under the city where the Tang army had been stationed in Ma.
Drifted up the ruins with the wind and into the city. In the hands of the Goguryeo people, it was also presented to the ruler of the palace city.
"The Tang Dynasty is incomparable, and Goguryeo is unvirtuous. Today's destruction of the West Gate is just an example. The king is immoral, but the people are innocent. The Tang Dynasty did not want to hurt the innocent people, so although the West Gate was broken today, it did not enter the city. It is hoped that the king of Goguryeo will put the people in the city first and go out of the city to surrender. The sins of oneself should be borne by oneself, and not inflicted on the people, and the common people should be affected. If it does not fall, tomorrow at this moment, it should be broken to the east gate of Pyongyang. It is advisable to evacuate the people near the east gate as soon as possible so that they will not be injured by mistake. Xia Hongsheng, the vanguard general of the Tang Dynasty's expedition to Liao, respected. ”
The sound like a landslide and the ground cracked, Gao Jianwu was in the deep palace, and he also heard it.
The city wall, which was quite confident, was in ruins with a stick of incense, and I saw it.
With a shake of his hand, the paper with the words "Warning" fell to the ground.
Gao Jianwu's face was as dead as ashes, and he suddenly felt weak, and sat down in a dejected manner.
