It is said that it is a steel chariot, but it is not that the chariots of the Imperial Chariot Army have been upgraded, but that the components of the body have begun to be reinforced with iron shells in some heavy and vulnerable parts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, if reactive armor is added in wartime, there is nothing wrong with saying that it is a steel tank.

This time, Huang Jie's 5,000 imperial chariot army did not bring many chariots, but only brought 60 main chariots and 120 baggage chariots with the ship, in addition to the standard divine arm bow and bow, bed crossbow and ten base ammunition equipped with the car, he also brought 15 cannons and an artillery company (one hundred and eight people), which made it clear that he wanted to subdue Cui Table at one time, and even sent him directly to see the king of Hades.

At noon on October 13 of the second year of the main road, 3,000 daring soldiers went to Xijing as a pathfinder force first, and an hour later, 5,000 imperial chariot troops then went on the road, 3,000 Shenwu troops followed up as a rear army, and the remaining 2,000 Shenwu and 2,000 daring soldiers strengthened the fortifications of Nanpu on the spot and stood by as a reserve.

Although this section of the road of less than 100 miles is not counted in the project of Songli Youyi Road, it is actually rebuilt in accordance with the standard construction procedures, so the marching speed of the army is naturally extremely fast.

Around midnight in the afternoon, the Chinese army had already walked halfway, and arrived at Xijing around the end of the second watch that night.

At this time, Goryeo Seogyong (also known as Pyongyang) was also called "Yogyongyong" because willow trees were planted all over the city. When the Goryeo Dynasty was first established, it was declared that "the ancient capital of Pyongyang has been abandoned for a long time, but the foundation site still exists, and the thorns are flourishing...... It is advisable to migrate the people to the truth, to consolidate the feudal screen, for the benefit of a hundred generations", so "the people of the salt, white, yellow, sea, and phoenix states should be the real and protect the capital", which opened the Goryeo management of the Pyongyang area, and the Goryeo Dynasty later designated Pyongyang as "Xijing".

During the entire Goryeo period, Pyongyang has been quite prosperous after years of construction, so the famous Goryeo poet Zheng Zhichang made up the poem "Zimo spring breeze and drizzle, light dust does not move willow silk slanting". At the same time, Pyongyang was also an important town for the Goryeo Dynasty to resist foreign invasions, and throughout the period of Goryeo's rule, the Khitans, Jurchens, and later the Mongols all invaded successively and captured Xijing several times.

Huang Jie had already drawn a topographical map of the city drawn by missionaries in Pyongyang, so after arriving at the city of Pyongyang, he first sent 3,000 Shenwu troops to defend the north, west and south sides of the city, and then the big lama piled up 5,000 imperial chariot troops directly on the east side of the city and built a chariot formation on the spot.

The defenders of Pyongyang were also frightened when they saw that the unknown troops who arrived at the city overnight had actually surrounded the entire city, but their reaction was very funny, and they urgently mobilized the people living near the city to go up the city wall, and then lit a fire on the entire city wall, illuminating the entire city hall.

It wasn't until about the fourth watch, when the sky was slightly bright (Goryeo was close to the East China Sea, and the summer and autumn were early), that a trembling old minister came down from the city and came to inquire.

Looking at the glittering city of Pyongyang in the morning light, as well as the city wall that was not enough to be two feet tall at all, as well as the mottled repair marks on the wall, Huang Jie was suddenly speechless, and found that he was really a little too much of Taishan.

After the old Goryeo minister who was to be picked up entered the camp under the city and verified that his identity was Jin Dazhong, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites left in Xijing, he looked at the seventy-three-year-old man trembling and asked in an authentic Song Yan: "Where did the Great Song Heavenly Army come from?" ”

Huang Jie also admired this old man who was old, but dared to take responsibility, and came out of the city to make an envoy, so he also ordered someone to sit before him, and asked someone to come to a bowl of fresh Korean ginseng soup to surprise him, and then replied: "Just to protect overseas Chinese, the general of the country Cui Zhuo detained one hundred and thirty-four people including my Great Song Dynasty craftsmen for no reason, does Jin Shangshu know?" ”

Although Jin Dazhong is old, he is deaf and clear-eyed, and his mind is clear, and he chewed the meaning of the word "protecting overseas Chinese", and heard Huang Jie's tone not being good at questioning, so he knew that this matter was big.

Hurriedly said: "What the general has done, the subordinates have also heard. It's just that the kingdom is angry, what does it have to do with the people of Xijing? In the early years of the ministers, he also traveled and studied in the Great Song Dynasty, and asked the kingdom to be courteous, righteous, benevolent and filial piety. ”

Huang Jie didn't have anything to do with this old sour Ru sour: "Jin Shangshu has traveled and studied in the Great Song Dynasty, and he also knows that my Great Song Dynasty adheres to the former Han Dynasty and claims to be of Han and Miao descent. Therefore, Jin Shangshu Kecheng has heard the saying 'Those who offend me and are strong will be punished even if they are far away'? Now, the general of the country, Cui Zhuo, who committed the crime of our expatriates first, did not send an envoy to communicate with us, so he broke through my construction site and plundered my expatriate craftsmen, but this king came to ask you, who was the first to be disrespectful? ”

Huang Jie's words were naturally sonorous and powerful, and he choked on Jin Dazhong for a while, and after he took a few breaths of air, he replied tremblingly: "I don't know what King Song wants?" ”

Huang Jie also said: "This king knows that the general Cui Zhuo is in the city at this time, and the first moment of today's hour is remembered, and this king has a time limit of three hours, one is to return my Song Dynasty expatriate, one hundred and thirty-four people must be missing, the second is that Cui Zhuo personally went out of the city to bear the guilt of Jing and told this king in person, and the third is because Cui Zhuo destroyed my construction site facilities and injured one of my overseas Chinese in the name of counterinsurance, and he must be compensated. Otherwise, within a limited time, this king will immediately attack the city! ”

"Ahh Jin Dazhong heard an exclamation, so he fell straight from the stool to the ground, but he saw that Huang Jie's face was as pale as iron, and what he said didn't look like crazy words at all, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye to Huang Jie, and hurriedly ran back to the city with the hem of his official uniform.

Looking at an old man in his seventies, running as fast as a rabbit that was caught up, Huang Jie was very worried about whether he would induce high blood pressure and heart disease because of running like this, in case he had a cerebral congestion, and hung up before Cui Zhuo passed the words, so wouldn't what he did just now be in vain?

At this time, Yue Fei, Chong Xuan, Yang Keshi, and Sun Erjin (Sun Xin), the director of the Dare Warrior Force, as well as Zhao Shuo, the commander of the Shenwu Army, and other generals all came, and after hearing the explanation of the process of the meeting between Huang Jie's personal guard Huang Dalong and Jin Dazhong, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Or did Yue Fei bow his hand according to the military salute and asked: "Deputy Marshal, if the time limit of three hours is up, will our army really attack the city?" ”

Huang Jie's face turned dark when he heard this, and he asked rhetorically: "Ben Shuai is a person who has no faith in his words?" Pass the order down, the three armies are ready! Make a fire to make a meal at the time of the hour, eat at the time of the day, and line up at noon, if the general of Goryeo does not go out of the city on time, he will be guilty...... Hum! The army is attacking the city! ”
