Chapter 955: The Fall of Seoul
"Boom, boom—"
Every few minutes, there was a deafening roar on the western wall of Pyongyang, and streamers erupted and slammed into the city wall.
Among them, the twelve city-destroying dragon cannons are particularly eye-catching.
Although the city-destroying dragon cannon was born from the city-destroying dragon cannon, the two are completely different. The city-breaking dragon cannon was originally a behemoth, about twelve zhang long from beginning to end, and three zhang high, even on the battlefield in millions, it was very eye-catching, but compared with the city-destroying dragon cannon, it became a younger brother.
Twelve city-destroying dragon cannons are scattered in the artillery group position, as if a group of lions have walked into the husky group, both in physique and texture, surpassing the city-breaking dragon cannon in all aspects, and even more in terms of power!
These twelve city-destroying dragon cannons have replaced the status of city-destroying dragon cannons and have become the real killer weapon in the siege of the Pingzhou army!
However, with such a supreme weapon joining, the siege of the Pyongju army was not smooth, and the fact that the Pyongyang city wall remained basically intact without obvious damage is the best proof!
Only after truly experiencing it can you understand how terrifying the defense of the royal city is. Unlike cities below the level of the royal city, at the level of the royal city, the defense of the city wall no longer only relies on the depth of the city's high walls, but also involves more subtle energy defenses.
If you get close to Pyongyang Castle, you will find that every time the torch stone or dragon cannonball hits the city wall, an inconspicuous flow will flash on the surface of the wall in the area where it was hit.
It was this wave that greatly reduced the intensity of the attack, and the strength of the city wall that was supposed to withstand ten percent eventually became sixty percent.
This is a function that comes with the King-level Wall of Heaven, and this energy barrier exists until the cumulative strength of the attack does not exceed a certain threshold. As for what the threshold is, no one knows, Beacon Fire is not a completely digital game, the city wall does not give a durability or health bar, and there is no specific number of attack strength, and the upper limit of the defense of the energy wall is only God knows!
Under the protection of the energy wall, the real damage caused by the Pyeongju army to the city wall is extremely limited, and the siege battle has been fought intermittently for ten days so far, and the Pyongyang city wall has basically not suffered any major damage.
What's even more unacceptable is that Park Eun didn't know where to get a powerful artifact, as long as he placed it on the city wall, he would automatically and slowly recover the damage caused by the building within a radius of one kilometer!
This recovery speed is not fast, and it can't even keep up with the speed of repairs made by craftsmen under normal circumstances. However, this effect is passive, has no cost, cannot be interrupted, and can be effected as long as the pestle is used, and does not conflict with manual repair!
Combined with the reduction effect of the energy barrier, the siege directly came to a stalemate. The attack strength of the Pingzhou army can barely exceed the speed of automatic repair of the artifact, but as long as Pu Yin sends some craftsmen to participate in the emergency repair, he can make up for this gap, so that the hard work of the Pingzhou army will be completely wasted.
And what's even more excessive is that this artifact is very easy to move, and it belongs to the type that can be picked up and walked. Even if Shang Ji changed the target of the attack, it was useless, and Pu Yin's efficiency in shifting the focus of defense was much higher than Shang Ji's!
However, it has not been without good news for such a long time, or in addition to the setback of the Pyongyang offensive.
First of all, Zhao Yun and them, after the Trojan Horse scheme was discovered, South Korea officially announced its surrender, the player army controlled by the South Korean government was disbanded in situ, and the aboriginal army was all handed over to Yan Huang, and at the same time called on South Korean civilian players to give up resistance.
Of course, this is limited to appeals, and according to the agreement signed between South Korea and Yan Huang, the resistance of private players is not the responsibility of the South Korean government, but they are also strictly prohibited from supporting private players in any way.
Although the surrender of the South Korean government has caused an uproar in South Korea, with countless South Koreans taking to the streets to protest and demonstrate, and the scale of demonstrations and rallies repeatedly breaking records, nothing will help in the face of the general trend. As if it was blind, the South Korean government ignored the protests from the outside world and held its head shut to engage in handover with Yan Huang. What is extremely rare is that the opposition party did not take the opportunity to play a moth, but cooperated with the current government in silence.
In such a situation, the cities in the south Korean-controlled area fell at the speed of light, and the two giant cities of Cheongju and Gyeongju surrendered directly, and the rest of the cities also surrendered.
Although there were civil player groups and former official army players who were forced to retire from time to time to obstruct them during this period, their behavior of using their mantis arms as a car was ruthlessly crushed by Zhao Yun and others!
The South Korean region is very turbulent, but the major cities have all been controlled by the Pyeongju Army, and the players in the South Korean region cannot afford to make big waves.
The situation on the North Korean side is also very smooth, and Park Eun can only be trapped in a lonely city. The remaining two giant cities, of which Gangneung Fortress was built along the Great River, coupled with the extreme emptiness of defense, were jointly conquered by the Guiyi Army under Pingzhou and the Naval Division. The other is besieged by a large number of rebel troops (not the Eighteenth Route Rebel Army, which belongs to the kind of cannon fodder who only has a name, and is basically cannon fodder fooled by Zheng Ba), and the state is no different from Park Eun in Pyongyang City.
Most of the remaining large and small cities were conquered by the rebel army, and a small number of cities with strong aboriginal forces killed the player army sent by Park Eun, declaring independence or anyway, it can be said that the entire Korean region has completely escaped from Park Eun's control.
Nominally, the Shang controlled 70 percent of the cities in Korea. Of course, this is only in name, in fact, many cities are just a name, ignoring the orders of the merchants, and they cannot be effectively mobilized at all.
However, at this time, the Pyongju army was very powerful, except for a small number of cities that declared independence, other cities more or less sent some troops to Pyongyang City to support according to Shang Ji's orders, but the quality of this army can be imagined, and it is really not even equipped with wooden sticks. Some of the armies were not so much ordered to support as refugees who came to beg for food.
Shang Ji didn't mind this, backed by the Datong River, the transportation of the sailors was convenient and fast, the supply of materials was very sufficient, and there was no pressure to raise some stragglers. Not only was food and drink provided, but also military salaries were distributed, and the attitude was also very friendly, which made the rebels who came to support them grateful.
Most of the generals who came to support were the targets of the original forces, otherwise they would not have received this kind of task that was almost dead in their minds. However, Shang Ji's approach moved everyone, and they shouted for death for the Lord, as if they were filling the ravine with their bodies without complaining.
Of course, Shang Ji will not let them die, human resources have always been precious in Pingzhou, and they must not be wasted. Moreover, this is not the place where they need to play a role, and treating them well is for the sake of a longer-term goal.
At sunset, today's siege battle came to an end temporarily, and the city of Pyongyang was still standing, which made Shang Ji feel a little depressed, but then good news came, dispelling some unhappiness.
"Lord Qiqi, General Zhao Yun and General Zhang He sent a joint report that Hancheng has been taken!"
