Chapter 191: Artifact
The fall of Seoul was due to the fact that the miscellaneous army of all the quasi-quasi-soldiers rushed to the city one after another like ants, and they senselessly consumed a lot of defending forces and could not kill them at all.
The defenders of Seoul were frightened and knew that it would be a matter of time before the city was broken, so they quietly opened the gates of the city, slipped away, and handed over hundreds of thousands of officials and civilians in Seoul to the rebels.
This time to surround Kaijing, Quan Yizhun, who had tasted the sweetness, continued to adopt this tactic of tired troops, and let the miscellaneous troops rush to the city wall in waves.
Liu Chengzhejue, the miscellaneous soldiers of the rebels, each carrying a sack of dirt, braved the rain of arrows, and piled up soil under the city regardless of life or death
Yoo Seung-chul has forgotten about it, this is the first time he has repelled the attacks of the rebels. He saw with his own eyes that all the rebel miscellaneous soldiers, or peasant soldiers, who retreated without permission, were killed by those who supervised the formation behind.
Seeing this situation, Liu Chengzhe's heart couldn't help but sink, this is not only cunning, but also poisonous, and he dares to kill his own people.
The sun finally set, the sky gradually darkened, and the intense offensive and defensive battle of Kaijing came to an end for the time being.
Ryu Seung-chul glanced at the retreating rebels, breathed a sigh of relief, and survived another day!
The magnates in Kaijing, although they took away the military power in Liu Chengzhe's hands, they are not stupid, and they know very well in their hearts that once the rebels are allowed to enter Kaijing, then everyone will be finished.
Therefore, what makes Liu Chengzhe feel gratified is that everyone's determination to defend the city is very great, and they have truly sworn to live and die together in Kaijing.
Of course, the main thing is the city wall of Kaijing, which has become easy to defend and difficult to attack after decades of heightening and thickening.
"Summons Team B to take over. Team A went down to eat and rest. Yoo Seung-chul knew that this battle was a protracted battle, and he had to ensure that his soldiers had enough body to meet the challenge of blood and fire.
Although Kaijing withstood the onslaught of the first day, all those involved in the defense of the city. There is a shadow in my mind.
All the miscellaneous soldiers are so fierce and not afraid of death, how powerful the real main force will be, everyone doesn't know the bottom of their hearts.
In just one day, Pu Suping's nearly 1,000 soldiers had already lost more than 100, although he was extremely distressed. There is no good way either.
The consequences of the destruction of the capital city are known to all the important ministers of Goryeo, so for the sake of the small family and the vested power. Whether it is Liu Chengzhe or Pu Suping, they all have to fight hard.
After Kaijing was attacked by Quan Yizhun for five days in a row, even Liu Chengzhe was a little overwhelmed, and the cunning Brigadier General Quan Yi's elite holy army was mixed with miscellaneous soldiers, and rushed to the city several times.
If it weren't for the soldiers' lives, they would grit their teeth and fight to the death. The city will be broken on the same day.
At the same time, Li Zhongyi, who was nesting in Seoul, was not idle, he glanced at the new sapper shovel made by the blacksmith. nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "This is a good thing, no matter how you dig the soil, or set up a village, or close to each other, it is a sharp weapon." ”
Yang Lie rarely saw Li Zhongyi praise a certain weapon like this, and he couldn't help but ask Li Zhongyi with some curiosity: "Teacher." Is this object, called a sapper shovel, really so easy to make? ”
Li Zhongyi did not explain. He picked up an ordnance shovel and began to dig on the spot. Not a lot of work. Li Zhongyi dug a small pit in the ground of the loess.
Wielding the armor shovel in his hand, Li Zhongyi said with a little ostentation: "It's really a good tool for digging pits." ”
Facts speak louder than words, and the pit digging efficiency demonstrated by Li Zhongyi on the spot is indeed much more convenient than that of objects such as hoes.
This kind of sapper shovel can not only dig the soil, but also pry the stone upwards with your foot. The shovel surface is also much larger than that of a hoe, and the effect of shoveling down is much better than holding the soil in your hands.
Yang Lie looked at the sapper shovel in Li Zhongyi's hand and said with a smile: "The teacher's second plan can be implemented." ”
Li Zhongyi pursed his lips and said, "It's not so fast, you need to have a real effect." ”
After saying this, Li Zhongyi led everyone, carried a large coffin in a carriage, and rushed to the outside of Jiuli City, which had been abandoned, with more than 100 tooth soldiers who were resisting the sapper shovel.
Jiuli City was originally a military outpost, but because it was looted by the rebels, it was also discarded, and it happened to be used as Li Zhongyi's real product.
Li Zhongyi stood by the wall of Jiuli City, commanding the tooth soldiers, slowly sapping the shovel, digging a section along the foundation of the wall, and then digging diagonally until the coffin could be stuffed in.
The inside of the coffin was filled with granular gunpowder packets, and a small hole had already been carved out of the side of the coffin. Li Xiaoba personally passed a long fuse through a dried bamboo, and then connected it to another fuse that exposed the small hole.
After Li Xiaoba finished the work of the lead, he called the tooth soldiers, covered the coffin with soil, and stepped on it tightly with his feet.
After getting ready together, Li Zhongyi beckoned Yang Lie and the tooth soldiers around him, retreated hundreds of zhang away together, and then let Li Xiaoqi, who was running the fastest, take a torch and light the fuse.
Since it was the first time to engage in explosive activities, Li Zhongyi did not get to the bottom of it, so he made the fuse relatively long, about one zhang.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, "Boom! With a loud bang, the entire gate building of Jiuli City rose into the air and flew into the air.
The sky suddenly darkened, flying sand and rocks, dust, smoke and smoke, as if the end of the world had come.
The huge explosion force blasted the big stone at the base of the city gate tower into rubble, and everyone's eyes were violently emptied.
Everyone, including Li Zhongyi, without exception, was dumbfounded.
It took a long time for someone to scream.
"Ah......h
"Ah, the gods are angry......"
"Zi, could it be Lei Gong descending to earth?"
Li Zhongyi took a rough breath, he didn't expect that the explosion of more than 300 catties of granular black powder would have such a huge power.
"It's an artifact, teacher, it's really an artifact. From now on, any strong city in the world can be destroyed at your fingertips. Yang Lie's dancing nonsense made Li Zhongyi feel a little complacent.
Artifact? Although this authentic formula of black powder can only be used for blasting, it is also an authentic epoch-making weapon of war.
As Yang Lie said, as long as there is enough black powder, any fortified city may be loaded into the tunnel. Give the bombardment of the city walls.
In other words, since Li Zhongyi opened the magic box of **, Jiancheng can no longer be defended!
Li Zhongyi has reason to believe that from now on, the situation of war. There will be a gradual and surprising change in the generations.
Since ancient times, in war, there must be a spear and a shield, which is a unity.
Li Zhongyi glanced at Yang Lie, who was extremely excited, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Brother Bai Xing." Isn't it time for us to get out of the boat tonight? ”
Yang Lie shook the folding fan fiercely and sneered: "After this battle, even if the name of the Goryeo Kingdom still exists, it is already a void. ”
Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "Since Quan Yizhun is attacking very hard, let's go and help him." ”
Night. All the main forces of the entire Goryeo camp were taken on board by Li Zhongyi.
These days, Li Zhongyi recruited a lot of fishermen and fishing boats near Seoul, and also seized a large number of Goryeo merchant ships, in order to sneak around tonight.
Although the fishing boat is small, it means that it cannot withstand the rough seas of the open sea, but it does not affect the distance along the coastline.
The big boats of the Great Zhou Navy Master used thick hemp rope to drag all kinds of small boats. Set sail north.
The brutal offensive and defensive battle of Kaijing was carried out until sunset on the eighth day, and Yoo Seung-chul looked at the rebels who were receding like a tide. As soon as his arm weakened, he threw down his sword, and sat down on the ground with weakness.
Liu Chengzhe knew in his heart that the rebels besieging the city became more experienced and imposing the more they fought. Even the miscellaneous soldiers who were cannon fodder learned to hold the lid of the pot. The cat bends its waist and drags sacks full of dirt. Run to the walls.
Although there were many strong men guarding the city, there was also a lot of food, and there were hundreds of wells. However, because the rebels came too quickly, the amount of firewood used for cooking in the city was decreasing day by day.
The messenger who sent the north gate to urge the light army to come to help has been sent out I don't know how much, but there has been no news.
Liu Chengzhe was full of confidence at the beginning, thinking that the opening of the capital was solid. Unexpectedly, Quan Yizhun actually learned war in the war, and adopted the "stupid" method of piling up earth to siege the city, but it was also the method that posed the greatest threat to the defenders of Kaijing.
To put it bluntly, a vicious battle like today's, a few more times, Liu Chengzhe can't imagine how long this Kaijing can be defended?
In Kaijing City, there are not a few important ministers who think the same as Liu Chengzhe, and the prime minister Wang Rong is one of them.
Since losing his favor, although Wang Rong's position as prime minister has not been lost, he knows that it is only because Kaijing was besieged by rebels.
Once Kaijing is relieved, the days when Wang Rong continues to be the prime minister are naturally numbered.
However, Wang Ronghe was all accurate, and he had no friendship at all, so he ventured to vote, not only to be scolded, but also to protect his life.
It's really sad!
The situation of defending the city was unfavorable, and the powerful people with a lot of wealth were the first to waver. On the contrary, the ordinary people, who are under the pressure of the government on weekdays, have the strongest will to guard the opening of Beijing.
No wonder some people often say that meat eaters despise!
The elite Guangjun went south, and it has become one of the only two straws in the entire Kaijing City, and the other is Li Zhongyi, who is close to Seoul.
Since Kaijing was besieged, Wang Zhao successively wrote an unusually earnest letter of request for help, and sent a special envoy to the south to find Li Zhongyi.
However, although Li Zhongyi's attitude was very polite, the meaning was very clear, the Japanese army was moving north, and his camp army could not be moved lightly!
Wang Zhao, who was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, knew that Li Zhongyi was deliberately prevaricating, but he had to continue to send people to plead. Moreover, the envoys sent by Wang Zhao to Seoul are getting higher and higher, and even the second minister Jiang Mingguang has personally gone out.
When Jiang Mingguang rushed to Seoul with Chongbao, he thought that Li Zhongyi would continue to make trouble, but unexpectedly, after he asked about the battle situation in Kaijing, he actually promised on the spot that he would send troops immediately.
Li Zhongyi really did what he said, and led Jiang Mingguang that night and boarded the naval warship of the Great Zhou.
The sailors drove west along the Han River, and because the southeast wind was blowing, they arrived at Ganghwa Island at the mouth of the Han River in just one day.
After the explanation of the commander of the water division, Li Zhongyi learned that when the water division of the Great Zhou Dynasty went south, the old guide led by Xu Fenglai deliberately led them to take a long detour. (To be continued)
