Chapter 1067 Under the City of Liaodong
In the Liaodong City Guard, the blood of King Rongliu who was killed has just been washed away, and now there are many Wenchen and military generals here, and the new Treasure King held the imperial meeting here for the first time, and Da Mo Lizhi Gai Suwen presided over the meeting, not only the main generals of Goguryeo, such as Jiang Yishi, Ghost Room Fuxin and other generals under Gai Suwen, as well as the new Heishui Jin Ya leader Agu Lang also led the leaders of various tribes under his command to gather together.
"Li Xin's soldiers are strong and strong, it is very difficult to deal with him, we are now using the strategy of harassment and perseverance, the brothers of the Tatar clan harass Li Xin's grain route and force Li Xin's troops to retreat, and only in this way can we take the opportunity to attack Li Xin and achieve the secret of defeating Li Xin." Gai Suwen said to Agu Lang and the others.
In the land of Liaodong, the population is large, they make a living by fishing and hunting, they are the kings of the mountains and forests, on the ground of Liaodong, although they do not often haunt the city, but in the city, there are their legends, in Liaodong, the black water is divided into sixteen parts, although the number is not many, but it is brave and good at fighting, the general Han people, Goguryeo people, do not dare to provoke these people, even Gai Suwen can only be friends with these people. This time, at the invitation of Gai Suwen, sixteen tribes, including the Simu Division, the Junli Division, the Cave Speaking Division, and the Moyu Division, came down the mountain one after another, or hundreds of warriors, or thousands of warriors, formed a coalition army, and were training in Liaodong City.
"Yes, this time, at the invitation of Da Mo Lizhi, our Black Water Sect went down the mountain to meet the army of the Tang Dynasty for a while, and see if they are really as brave as the outside world has rumored." Agu Lang is a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, I saw that his front brain was blank, the back of his head was braided with gold braided hair hanging down his shoulders, and the back of his skull was tied with colored silk, which was very similar to the Jurchen people in later generations. Agu Lang is the great chief of the Simu tribe, and he is the most powerful in the Black Water Clan, and this time the Simu tribe sent a total of 5,000 troops.
"What the Great Chief said is very true, between this black water and white mountain, the Yan clan is the most powerful warrior." Gai Suwen laughed and said, "The king has decided to divide the land for your sixteen tribes, and each of them will have a governor. ”
When Akulang and other tribal leaders heard this, they were very happy. They are very envious of the prosperity of the big city, these Goguryeo people who live in the city, they live in spacious houses, wear gold and silver, and dress luxuriously, so that these people who come out of the mountains are very envious, but they just dare to go down the mountain, I am afraid that there will be conflicts with the locals, and now Goguryeo is ready to divide the land for him, and he no longer has to worry about this kind of thing.
"Liaodong has been the territory of my Goguryeo since ancient times, Li Xin came, and wanted to destroy my Goguryeo, it was simply impossible, when Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty led a million troops, attacked my Goguryeo three times, and finally did not achieve victory, Li Xin wanted to attack Goguryeo with 200,000 troops, it was almost impossible." The Treasure King hid a trace of worry in his heart, and said with a smile: "With your help, Liaodong City will definitely be impregnable." ”
"Boom! Boom! ”
The Treasure King was about to continue, but he heard the sound of war drums outside, the sound shook the sky, resounding through the sky, even the Treasure King who was in the city guard mansion could hear it clearly, the Treasure King, who was still smiling just now, suddenly changed his complexion, and at this time, only Li Xin's army appeared under the city. Now everyone in the hall also understood what was going on, and the smiles on their faces disappeared for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and they glanced at each other, and no one dared to speak.
"Li Xin is here." Gai Suwen said in a low voice, his eyes flickering, revealing a hint of cruelty, he stood up, looked at the treasure king and said, "King, why don't we go and meet the majesty of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Okay, okay." The treasure king's eyes showed a trace of fear, he had never seen the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but in Goguryeo, Yang Wanchun, known as the king of defense, was killed in battle, and he had no confidence in whether Liaodong could resist Li Xin. At this time, Gai Suwen proposed to see Li Xin, although he was unwilling, he had to go.
Gai Suwen actually has no way, Li Xin's army is coming, I am afraid that at this time it has already reached the city wall, although the soldiers defending the city are the elite of the Yuan clan, once they see the 200,000 army coming together, the momentum is noisy, I am afraid it will be a blow to the morale of the army, and this time is the time when you need to go to the town by yourself. It would be nice if I could pull the Treasure King.
The leaders of the various tribes of the Black Water Warrior showed disdain on their faces, they had not seen the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, but they had seen the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo, the two sides had competed, under the ferocious attack of the soldiers of the Jar tribe, these Goguryeo soldiers were defeated one after another, in their opinion, the Tang Dynasty soldiers were similar, and they could only rely on quantity to win, if it was about the quality of individual soldiers, they were not the opponents of the Black Water Warriors at all.
"This, this is Datang's army?" Gao Zang looked at the black phalanx under the city, his face changed, and he couldn't help but whisper. Gai Suwen nodded, his face solemn.
The black phalanx stretched for several miles, as if the heavens and the earth were black, and the aura of slaughter filled the sky, making people's hearts tremble, and the evil qi was soaring to the sky, and some Goguryeo soldiers trembled, and in the silent world, even the war horses seemed to be shocked by this evil breath, and they didn't dare to make a sound. It shows the evil aura condensed by the army together.
"What a powerful army." Ghost Room Fuxin couldn't help but sigh, peeping at the leopard in the tube, from the discipline of these armies, you can see how powerful the army of the Tang Dynasty is.
Agu Lang's complexion also changed, his subordinates were fierce and brutal, but the enemy was not simple, the black military formation was endless, under the scorching sun, there was no sound, Agu Lang knew that his army would never have such a performance, they fought bravely, but it was almost impossible to have such discipline.
"Li Xin is here." At this time, the army in the distance was divided, a carriage was pulled by six white horses, slowly coming, behind the carriage, was the Huangluo umbrella cover, countless civil and military generals surrounded the left and right, slowly approaching the city wall.
"Ballista might be used?" Onimuro Fushinobu looked at the slowly approaching carriage and said to the soldiers beside him.
"It's useless, if Li Xin is simply killed like this, he won't be Li Xin." As soon as Gai Suwen's words fell, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at everything in the distance, only to see that in the carriage, a man in gold armor walked out, glanced at the city wall in the distance, and then got on a war horse beside him.
"Yang Hong!" Gai Suwen's consciousness quickly flashed this name, he raised the clairvoyance in his hand, looked over, and sure enough, he saw that the woman was Yang Hong of the Yang family, when he was in Xincheng, he had seen this woman, she was charming and moving, graceful, even Gai Suwen couldn't help but be attracted by it, so he agreed to Yang Wanchun's request, and was ready to accept her as a concubine after defeating Li Xin. But I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the woman who belonged to me was taken away by Li Xin.
"Li Xin! You deserve to die. Gai Suwen roared angrily, as a man, there is nothing more resentful than this, he didn't think about it, he opened his bow and arrows, and shot at Li Xin.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, I saw a white figure rushing out of the army, the silver hammer in his hand flying, blocking the sharp arrows aside, it was Pei Yuanqing.
"Look, that's Gae Suwen, who has killed King Yeolyu and has become the de facto ruler of Goguryeo." Li Xin looked at Gai Suwen again, his appearance was similar to before, but his face was fierce, he had lost his former heroic appearance, and he handed the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Yang Hong.
"Your Majesty, such wicked concubines don't want to see it, how innocent the people of Goguryeo are, in the face of the **** army, Gai Suwen should raise the city and surrender to my Tang Dynasty, so as to avoid the suffering of the people of Liaodong, Gai Suwen went against the sky, and he really deserved to be killed." Yang Hong shook her head, and did not answer Li Xin's clairvoyant mirror, if it was before, Yang Hong might still take a look, but during this period of time, she has seen the power of the Tang Dynasty, and the military power of the Tang Dynasty, and the little idea in her heart has been forgotten.
"Very good, it is best if you have this kind of thought, although Goguryeo is your homeland, but in the near future, this can only be your hometown, and the people of Goguryeo will definitely be proud of you, I have decided to develop Liaodong, let the people of the Central Plains move to Liaodong as much as possible, and make this place a fertile land. You can come to your hometown more often when you have time in the future. Li Xin was very happy to hear this.
It is a very happy thing to be able to make the women of the enemy country submit to themselves. At all times, women are subservient to the strong, especially in a country like Goguryeo, which has always been the case.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the people of Goguryeo will be very happy after hearing this." Yang Hong's eyes lit up, she was isolated in the court, only by being favored by Li Xin, could she survive in the harem, since Goguryeo was about to perish, Yang Hong also had to think about her future.
"Your Majesty, are you preparing to attack?" Qin Qiong came over with a horse and said, "Just let them see the strength of the Tang Army." ”
"Let's get started!" Li Xin nodded and said: "I heard that many people from the Black Water Sect have come, these people live in the mountains all day long, how have they ever seen large-scale wars, let these people in the mountains see the power of the Tang Dynasty weapons today." Let's start with the winch crossbow and test whether the Liaodong city wall is as strong as the legend says. ”
"Yes." Qin Qiong hurriedly responded.
The winch crossbow, also known as the car crossbow, is an important tool for attacking and defending the city, it is an arrow shaft made of hard wood, and the iron piece is a feather, and the arrow shaft is as thick as an arm, just like a javelin. When launched, it is spectacular, and the 700-step launch can be directly nailed into the city wall, and when the salvo is fired, rows of crossbow arrows are firmly driven into the city wall, and the siege soldiers can use it to climb up.
I only heard a burst of roaring sounds, the sound suppressed all the sounds on the battlefield, on the entire battlefield, there were only bursts of roaring sounds, only bursts of black light flew out from the Tang Army's position, humming and smashing on the city wall, the city wall trembled, and the city wall couldn't help but hear a burst of panic, but the people on the city wall were horrified by the scale of the crossbow.
After the smoke and dust, I saw hundreds of giant arrows densely inserted on the city wall, passing through the city wall made of rammed loess, deeply rooted in it, only the wooden pole of more than a foot long was exposed, and these crossbow arrows left one ugly scar after another on the city wall.
Goguryeo on the city wall had long been shocked by the situation in front of him, although this attack did not bring much damage to the enemy, but it was enough to shock those Goguryeo soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the cannonballs have been prepared, please give your Majesty's order." Qin Qiong's face was calm and said to Li Xin. Yang Hong looked curiously at the iron buckets not far away, this is the siege weapon of the Tang Dynasty, it is rumored that the Tang Dynasty is also invincible with this siege weapon, and I don't know how many cities have fallen under such a sharp weapon. Now that the sharp weapon has appeared under Liaodong City, can Liaodong City hold it?
Gai Suwen also found that there were many iron buckets in front of the position, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, and said to the treasure king beside him: "King, something is wrong, please leave the city wall immediately, Li Xin traitors may have other means." ”
The Treasure King was about to refuse, but when he saw Gai Suwen's nervous appearance, he didn't dare to stay here, nodded, and beckoned his attendants to go down the city wall.
Soon after he got off the city wall, he heard a mountain shake, and saw a sudden thick smoke rolling down on the city wall, as if the sky was thundering rolling down, so frightened that he suddenly fell to the ground, and the war horse not far away beside him, with a neigh, actually broke free from the reins and ran away. Gao Zang couldn't care about these anymore, and the sudden thunder turned pale with fright.
Gai Suwen on the city wall is even more so, when the thunder sounds, he knows that it is not good, only to see a red light rushing from the city, and he heard countless screams around him, some people were blown apart, some people were blown up and bled out, and some people were blown up with blood, and for a time the whole city tower screamed.
Agu Lang and other tribal leaders of the Black Water Warrior even knelt on the city wall, shouting loudly, perhaps this was a miracle in their eyes, and they were begging for forgiveness from the heavens.
"Damn, what kind of siege is this?" Gai Suwen spat at violently, on the battlements of the city wall, looking at the city, maybe just to show off his strength and shock his own side, there was no thunder below, and even Li Xin was leading the army to retreat slowly. Soon, I saw countless figures setting up camp ten miles outside the city.
"Damn, damn." Ghost Room Fuxin looked at the Tang army in the distance, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "The soldiers are all shocked by the thunder in the sky, it is impossible to attack Li Xin's camp tonight." What is this? Why is it so powerful. ”
"It should be a siege method." Gai Suwen said in a low voice with a gloomy face. (To be continued.) )
