Goguryeo's night attack did not succeed, and the artillery of the Tang Dynasty was erected again as previously written. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pyongyang City, outside the East Gate. The Goguryeo defenders, who were waiting for the battle, looked a little panicked, staring closely at the Tang army under the city.

The thing that made them tremble like a nightmare, still didn't see a real thing. I only knew that the thing could make an earth-shattering loud noise, and the walls of the city that shook were scattered and shattered into stone chips. It also shook the man into pieces of minced meat.

Fear was hidden in the hearts of the Goguryeo people, and at this moment, they knew that they were going to suffer the same fear as yesterday, so their mouths were dry.

Xi Jun Maile immediately stepped forward and shouted to the top of the city wall: "Yesterday there was a book, and today it should be broken at the east gate." Datang Shenwei is not something you people can resist. Surrender as soon as possible, so as to leave a life and live in peace. If you surrender, Datang will treat them well. Those who did not want to serve as soldiers were given grain and grass, returned to the countryside, divided the fields, and worked in peace. Those who are willing to continue to serve as soldiers will become elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, no different from the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will not be treated differently. Those who have established military merits for the Tang Dynasty will still be rewarded. Datang Junwei, you have already seen it yesterday. Now that the east gate is about to be broken, those who don't want to die should quickly dodge. ”

Xi Junmai said what he said was a heart-wrenching remark, which was intended to add to the turmoil in the already disturbed Goguryeo army.

Xi Jun bought his words, and Xia Hongsheng shouted again: "I have been reminded yesterday that I will break the east gate today." If any of the surrounding people were injured by mistake because they could not leave, it was because the king of Goguryeo abandoned them and did not make them avoid them in advance. The Tang Dynasty did not want to make the lives miserable, and it had no intention of harming the innocent people in the city. Disarm and surrender, and the people will not be harmed in any way. The style of the Tang Dynasty army has long been heard of. After entering the city, he will never kill innocents indiscriminately, nor will he rob the people. ”

said these words, it was not Xia Hongsheng's Virgin, nor Xia Hongsheng's pretense. It was all addressed to the defenders on the city wall and to the people who had been recruited.

The Goguryeo defenders on the city wall, as well as those people who were temporarily recruited, although their hearts were shaken at the moment, they did not dare to reveal anything because of the occasion.

The Tang army was small in number and could not directly confront the Goguryeo defenders in the city.

These methods are all to torture their spirits, make them lose the courage to fight against Datang, and make them unable to resist in the face of Datang. It also stirred up the relationship between the people of the city and the defenders. Do not let the people of the city and the defenders unite and resist together.

In the original history, because Li Tao was angry with Li Shimin, he offered to slaughter the city after the big break, which stimulated the resistance of the people in the city, and made the people in the city closely united with the defenders, making the city more difficult to attack.

The power of these words is actually no less than the power of artillery. With the power of artillery as an intuitive feeling of "seeing is believing", the power of these words can be further expanded, overwhelming the Goguryeo defenders and civilians, and destroying their psychological defenses.

"General, the time has come!" The herald beside him said.

Xia Hongsheng nodded and raised his arms high.

On the city wall, the hearts of those people tightened.

They watched the herald of the Tang Army raise the order flag in his hand, and watched the people in front of them stuff something into their ears.

I watched the command flag in the herald's hand wave down fiercely.

"Boom-"

There was a loud sound that shook the mountains, and then the walls that turned into dust flew around.

Even after the city wall was strengthened overnight, and even after many preparations, the east gate of Pyongyang City followed in the footsteps of the west gate and became a rubble ruin.

The cannonade stopped.

Sounds of escape, cries, begging, cries for help...... Only these remain above the city of Pyongyang.

The Goguryeo guard, who was forced to red-eyed, was stunned, ruthless, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Tang Guo is too deceitful, brothers, kill with me!" ”

The defenders of Goguryeo clenched their weapons and rushed towards the Tang army outside with all their might, as if only such a roar with all their strength could dispel some of their fears a little.

Close, close! The Tang Army is right in front of you!

It's a pity -

I saw that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were calm and unhurried, and as soon as they moved to the sides, something appeared in the gap in the middle.

It was a thin, round iron bucket with two people squatting behind it.

"Put!" With an order, the mortars were fired in unison.

A dull sound came, and immediately after, the Goguryeo people in the charge found that their vision suddenly changed, and their bodies actually flew up.

Patches of Goguryeo defenders flew up and fell down heavily.

Again and again, the mortar bombed back.

The defenders of Goguryeo collapsed.

They couldn't even get to Tang Jun at all.

Those Tang Jun stood still, just looking at them expressionlessly.

The fighting spirit of the Goguryeo people was gone, and they began to flee back in a hurry.

The Tang army did not chase after them, watching them climb up the ruins and flee into the city.

The city has broken two gates, and is in ruins, and what is the use of the remaining two walls?

The Goguryeo soldiers began to run back, and the defensive front began to shrink back.

"General Xia, look!" Xi Junmai pointed to the long lance in his hand and pointed to the defenders on the remaining two sections of the city wall.

Xia Hongsheng looked over and saw that the defenders on the remaining two sections of the wall were quickly withdrawing from the city wall, and while collecting the remnants of the soldiers who had fled back, they were withdrawing in the direction of the city.

"Goguryeo has given up the city wall, this is to go back to defend the inner curtain!" Li Yexu next to him said excitedly: "Hahahaha! Now you don't even have to build a mound! ”

Xia Hongsheng grinned: "Go!" ”

"Brothers, rush forward with me and take the wall!" Cheng Chumo was on the side, and immediately shouted.

Li Yexu, Cheng Chumo, Liu Renshi, Li Chongyi, and Fang Yiai quickly rushed forward with shouts, stepped on the ruins, and went up to the two sections of the city wall abandoned by the Goguryeo defenders.

Xia Hongsheng shook his head, thinking to himself, I don't know how Gao Jianwu would feel if he knew that they abandoned these two city walls, but instead fulfilled Xia Hongsheng's words.

Climbing the city wall and looking into the city, I saw that among the city walls and inner curtains, there were all Goguryeo defenders layer by layer. They are like walls that protect the inner curtain and the innermost palace city.

But will they be able to hold on?

There are also countless people who fled inward in a hurry, and they were all seen by Xia Hongsheng, where was there a trace of resistance on their bodies.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Hongsheng opened his mouth and shouted, "Where are the scouts?" ”

Immediately stepped forward and came: "General! ”

Xia Hongsheng looked at the inner curtain in the distance, and the Goguryeo palace wall in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, quickly go to the outside of Anshi City to find my Tang Chinese army, and report to Your Majesty, saying that I am the vanguard of the Tang Dynasty and have taken Pyongyang, please send troops to come quickly!" ”

Seeing that the man turned around and left, Xia Hongsheng also said: "Come on, pass a letter to the Goguryeo defenders, if you don't surrender before this moment tomorrow, I will let Gao Jianwu and his palace be crushed to pieces and turned into powder!" At that time, don't be unpredictable! ”
