Chapter 277: Expedition to Goryeo
The current Goryeo clan is far less powerful than it was in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Although they also built many castles for defense, they were not too large in terms of manpower and size.
When Cao Shuo came to the city gate, he saw a dense pile of human heads on the wall of Goryeo, and his eyes were full of horror.
"We've been discovered!" Cao Ang patted Cao Shuo and said.
"Of course, now we are going to attack it, and I'm afraid they don't know!"
"This...."
Cao Ang hesitated for a while, and said to Cao Shuo again: "Then will you attack the city directly?" β
"Hey, hey!"
Cao Shuo laughed, then took out a piece of paper and shook it in front of Cao Ang:
"Now give them a sense of ritual and announce the crusade!"
For the conquest of Goryeo, such a war must be justified.
Although Cao Shuo knows very well what he wants in his heart, sometimes he has to do superficial work.
Cao Shuo's Flying Tigers immediately got the order, and ran to the city gate with the crusade written by You Heng.
Scolding is such a unique job, and you still have to work hard to have a taste!
For You Heng, writing a scolding article in a chic manner is even easier than picking your feet.
You Heng writes articles, and is used to grasping a small mistake in the target, and then frantically zooming in and rereading the infinite repetition of the dog's blood.
On the other hand, the soldiers who are now defending Goryeo...
Although they can't understand Chinese, the momentum of this matter is the most important, and everything else is later.
After reading out the crusade book, Cao Shuo smiled and said to Cao Ang: "Big brother, you give the order to attack now!" β
"Me?"
A trace of astonishment suddenly flashed in Cao Ang's eyes:
"How do you attack the city?"
"Big brother, now you have to cultivate your confident side!"
Cao Shuo smiled and encouraged Cao Ang: "You are actually very good at commanding, this time, it will be up to you to command, I will add." β
Although Cao Shuo's physical strength is outstanding, Cao Ang has also read poetry and books since he was a child, and he is actually very good at conducting.
"I..."
Cao Ang hesitated slightly, but immediately he made up his mind:
"Good! Now all the generals are ready! β
"Yes!"
The generals let out a roar.
"Forbidden!"
"In!"
Yu Ban stood up.
"You have to lead the soldiers to wait near the city gates, and as long as the artillery opens the city gates, you have to take the lead."
Cao Ang said to the ban.
"Order!"
Yu Ban immediately went down to prepare.
"Dian Wei!"
"The last general!"
Dian Wei also stepped forward.
"You take your soldiers to shoot arrows from the mountains and give Yu Ban cover."
"Yes!"
Dian Wei then retreated.
"Zhang Liao!"
"In!"
"You will lead troops to attack the city from the left and right sides, but you must give Yu Ban cover and don't rush too far."
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao also retreated.
"Now..."
Cao Ang glanced at the enthusiastic soldiers, and then said loudly:
"Attack!"
As soon as the words fell, Cao Ying blew the horn of attack, and then a round of shells fired directly at the walls of Goryeo.
The walls of Goryeo were also made of stone, and a round of cannonballs exploded a large hole.
Subsequently, the shells were reloaded and the fire continued towards the city gates.
Yu Ban is also waiting for the city gate to be breached, and when the time comes, he will directly rush in with his soldiers to fight.
But at this time, Cao Ang made a pause gesture to Yu Ban, and then replaced the ammunition of the artillery with a scattershot.
"Knock knock!"
At this time, Cao Ang's target was on the city wall, and as soon as the shotgun was fired, a row of soldiers on the city wall was immediately blasted into pulp.
This kind of scene is really shocking!
The reason for switching to shotguns was to make the Goryeo side see the power of the artillery and make them afraid.
Another round of shells, and the gates of Goryeo were broken.
"Rush!"
Yu Ban waited for this opportunity, and broke through with a shout.
At the same time, Dian Wei and Zhang Liao also took soldiers to cover the ban.
However, Dian Wei and Zhang Liao only led the troops to shoot arrows and throw props, putting pressure on the Goryeo city walls and making them no longer stand on people.
The real initiative lies in the forbidden hands.
At this time, Yu Ban held a machete in his hand and took the lead in the pile of enemies.
And the soldiers defending Goryeo were stupid by the shotguns just now, and now seeing Yu Ban rushing in with people, many soldiers have no determination to fight.
After all, this was the first time they had seen artillery.
In less than a cup of tea, Yu Ban took the city wall with his soldiers, and at the same time issued a signal to Cao Ang outside.
"So fast?"
A burst of surprise crossed Cao Ang's face, and then he shouted to the remaining soldiers behind him:
"Let's go, keep up with General Yu Ban!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers roared and fearlessly rushed forward.
At the same time, Dian Wei and Zhang Liao, who also took down the defensive soldiers on the flank, were slowly surrounding the city.
As long as the city wall is taken, the opposite side will become an urn to catch turtles, and the rest of the battle will be much easier.
The offensive of the Cao army was like a flood of fierce beasts, and in front of such a large wave of fearless soldiers, the Goryeo soldiers were slaughtered in the blink of an eye.
And for this ...
Cao Shuo was not surprised at all.
The current enemy is Goryeo!
If you take down such a city, it will be hard to conquer the world of chicken feathers!
Subsequently, Cao Shuo and Cao Ang entered the city side by side and immediately ordered to pacify the masses.
Cao Shuo also knew very well in his heart that it was not too simple to take the city.
But how to appease the masses and make them accept the big man, this is where the real effort is concerned.
It was not until the next day that Cao Shuo ordered the remaining crowd and disarmed soldiers to go to an empty square.
Yesterday, the masses must have been in a panic, and Cao Shuo's order to let them do anything again would definitely backfire.
And today's rally, Cao Shuo also asked the masses to come over voluntarily, and those who did not want to come were absolutely not reluctant, for fear that the masses would have a rebellious mentality.
Cao Shuo actually knows a lot about the Goryeo family.
They have more belligerent people, but more people who want to live their lives in peace.
And most of the belligerents were the leaders of the Goryeo clan, and almost all of the people agreed to join the Han.
But in the end, the leader of the Goryeo clan chose dictatorship, which allowed Cao Shuo to break through the city gates.
Cao Shuo actually loves these people very much, and distributed a lot of food to them yesterday.
At the same time, Cao Shuo also specially recruited a local citizen to act as a translator.
This time to hold a meeting for the people, Cao Shuo still chose to cultivate Cao Ang, and he worked as a bodyguard for Cao Ang.
On the one hand, Cao Ang's image is more like a leader, although Cao Shuo's martial arts are world-class and intellectual, but he looks like a swordsman who wanders the world.
This is obviously not suitable for the naΓ―ve and ignorant people.
Also, Cao Ang's star effect... But it can be perfectly applied to the current situation!
