First, in the era of cold weapons, no weapon can compete with firearms, and the two are not the same thing at all, so more than a thousand years later, the great powers used strong ships and artillery to bombard the late country, and the imperial court resisted, swords, spears and bows and arrows, and countless people rushed to the muzzle of the great powers like moths to the fire, and finally fell tragically one after another.

This is the difference between cold weapons and firearms, there is no contrast between the two, it can be said that cold weapons are abused by firearms, and there is almost no power to fight back.

At this moment, Liaodong City is like this, the Goguryeo people don't know how terrible firearms are, and they haven't even seen it at all, when Li Shimin personally conquered Xue Yantuo, he used the earth-shaking thunder, and the enemies on the grassland deeply understood the horror of the earth-shaking thunder, and maybe some people passed the description of the earth-shaking thunder to Goguryeo, but this era of no information, coupled with the suspicion of false rumors, even if it was transmitted to Goguryeo, even if the Goguryeo people had heard of the earth-shaking thunder, but it was definitely completely different from the real sky-shaking thunder.

Until today, at this moment, Goguryeo finally comprehended the true earth-shattering thunder.

More than 2,000 small clay pots were shining with sparks, flying towards the head of Liaodong City overwhelmingly, just three rounds of bombardment, the head of Liaodong City was already full of corpses, and there were stumps everywhere, and the military heart of the soldiers defending the city instantly dropped to the freezing point.

The Goguryeo people are brave and aggressive, as rebellious as wolves, so the Central Plains dynasties launched countless conquests against it, and they were all forced back by Goguryeo, and the good war of the Goguryeo people can be seen, but the good war is good at fighting, and the enemy they face is the kind of living enemy that can be killed with swords and spears, rather than the sparkling clay pots in front of them.

With the clay pot as the center, the radius of the explosion can almost reach more than one zhang, so more than 2,000 clay pots fell on the city wall at the same time, and fell one after another, what is this concept? It can be said that almost none of the Goguryeo soldiers who stood at the head of the city and participated in the garrison were spared, and all of them were in the range of this small clay pot, and the big ones were only broken hands and feet, but those who were killed directly died.

After three rounds of bombardment, the morale of the defenders at the head of the city finally collapsed completely.

No matter how brave and good at fighting, after all, they can't defeat this monster that almost has the power of a god, when the third round of earth-shaking thunder explosion continued to create a large number of defender corpses at the head of the city, the surviving defenders at the head of the city ran down the stone steps one after another, and some simply gave up the escape, kneeling directly in a pool of blood in the stump limbs, kneeling on the knees and looking up to the sky with a desperate face and praying for something.

At this moment, in Liaodong City, the most powerful is Gao Huizhen, when he saw his soldiers fleeing in defeat, at that moment he almost had an urge to turn around and run, looking at the Tang army camp outside the city in the distance, Gao Huizhen's eyes no longer had any contempt and indifference, but turned into fear and horror.

The Tang army actually had such a sharp weapon, how could Liaodong City be able to defend it? When he led 100,000 reinforcements to aid Liaodong, he patted his chest in front of Quangai Suwen, and the 100,000 soldiers under his command were confident that they would hold Liaodong City for at least half a year, so that the arrogant Tang Emperor would retreat in the face of difficulties, and it was even possible to annihilate most of the Tang army within the border of Goguryeo, just like the Sui Dynasty invaded Goguryeo.

However, the reality slapped Gao Huizhen in the face, from leading his troops to ambush Niu Jinda to 100,000 troops stationed in Liaodong City, how many days in total? Three days!

In less than three days, the Tang army took out such a magical firearm, and threw it on the head of Liaodong City, only three rounds completely smashed the military hearts of the soldiers under his command, Gao Huizhen is also a veteran of the war, at this moment he has seen the situation clearly, after the Tang Army has this firearm, Liaodong City may not be able to hold even half a day, and Liaodong City may change hands within today.

It's too powerful, so powerful that it's impossible to resist, people are swordsmen, I'm fish and meat, even if Gao Huizhen is brave and strategic, he can't come up with a way to deal with the magical earth-shattering thunder at this moment.

The defeat was like a mountain, and countless Goguryeo soldiers on the city ran towards the city screaming in despair, throwing away their armor and crushing the army, and even throwing away the weapons in their hands, Gao Huizhen's eyes showed an anxious look.

Although he knew that the city might not be able to hold it, he knew that as a general, even if he knew that it was a dead end, he could not give up resistance, regardless of victory or defeat, this was the general's integrity.

Twitching the long sword on his waist violently, Gao Huizhen walked a few steps quickly, and the long sword suddenly swung out, and a defender who fled in panic was beheaded by Gao Huizhen on the spot.

The soldiers behind him also drew their swords one after another, stopped in front of the stone steps at the head of the city with a murderous expression, raised their swords and pointed at the countless fleeing defenders in front of them.

Gao Huizhen stabbed out another sword, stabbing the other defender who wanted to continue to escape, raised his foot, wiped the blood on the sole of his sword, and then put the sword into the sheath.

Killing two people in a row, Gao Huizhen finally succeeded in deterring the fleeing defenders, seeing the soldiers looking at him with a look of fear, Gao Huizhen slowly looked around, and said coldly: "Those who escaped from the battle, behead!" Even if the Tang Army has the help of monsters, we must not retreat! Behind me is the thousands of miles of fertile soil of my Great Goryeo, our father and mother and children are in the rear, we retreat, escape, our father and mother and children will be slaughtered and killed by the Tang army, ***! Their miserable fate in the future is because you are afraid today and have fled! Do you really want to be such unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial? ”

In the end, Gao Huizhen's voice was full of emotion, and he roared.

After being stunned for a long time, one of them gritted his teeth and leaned over to pick up his weapon, and rushed to the city resolutely, followed by the second and third......

Li Su once said that the earth-shaking thunder is a help to the war, but it cannot determine the victory or defeat of the war, and the current situation proves his words, sometimes the earth-shaking thunder cannot conquer the hearts of powerful people.

The fearless defenders picked up their weapons again, although the earth-shaking thunder at the head of the city still kept exploding, but the bodies of the defenders seemed to be re-injected with a sense of vitality, they held shields in their hands, carefully hiding behind the arrow battlements of the city wall, some were smarter, cleared out a clearing in the area where the stones and logs were piled up, and the cat curled up and hid inside, and the frequency of the Tang army below using the earth-shaking thunder was low, and the wind shouted outside, and they all rushed out and fought to the death with the Tang army that was climbing the city wall, When a group of Tang troops who climbed over the city wall failed again and re-launched the earth-shattering thunder, the defending soldiers quickly went into safety to avoid the explosion......

In the next two hours, the city stood firm in this dangerous and dangerous tug-of-war, and there were several times when it was almost broken by the Tang army.

This was an unimaginable vicious battle, with the passage of time, the casualties of the offensive and defensive sides also increased sharply, by the afternoon, both sides were exhausted, but Li Shimin, who was watching the battle in front of the battle, did not give the order to Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and his eyes were still coldly looking at the city in the distance full of gunpowder, and his expression revealed a resolute determination.

Li Su stood beside Li Shimin, and when he saw that the power of the initial earth-shaking thunder had ravaged the city, and the Goguryeo garrison still picked up their weapons and chose to continue to resist without fear of death, Li Su couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Unfortunately, in this era, although the emergence of firearms is an epoch-making thing, it cannot conquer people's hearts, so it cannot determine the outcome of a war.

Turning his head to look at Li Shimin, Li Su found that Li Shimin's expression also showed a hint of deep thought, obviously, at this moment, Li Shimin also felt that the earth-shaking thunder was not an omnipotent weapon, it could only increase the winning rate, but it could not determine the outcome of the victory.

"Zizheng, at the beginning, you and I played the argument about firearms, and it seems that it is really true, and it is thunderous...... It is not a panacea. Li Shimin sighed.

Li Su bowed and said, "Your Majesty is glad to see this scene. ”

Li Shimin said with great interest: "The things you made out, but the result is not as powerful as the world imagined, why are you happy?" ”

"The things that the minister made out were to reduce the casualties of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, but the minister knew that it was not an artifact, and its role on the battlefield was limited after all, if Your Majesty could realize this earlier, he would not have made a wrong judgment on the battlefield, which would have led to unnecessary casualties among the soldiers, and the minister was happy about it."

Li Shimin glanced at him and said with a smile: "Zizheng is a bodhisattva with a heart, and he can become a Buddha immediately." ”

Squinting at the battle situation of the siege in the distance, Li Shimin's brows gradually wrinkled: "It seems that even if the earth-shaking thunder is used, the casualties of my king's soldiers are not small, how can this city be broken?" ”

Li Su looked at the city wall in the distance, and said: "Today's plan, we can only attack hard, after all, the other party has 100,000 defenders, if you follow the ordinary method of attacking the city, you can't shake the city at all, fortunately, with the use of earth-shaking thunder, our army has a few chances to almost break through the city wall, in general, it is an advantage, and I believe that they can't hold out for two hours......"

Li Shimin said with great interest: "Why is Zizheng so sure?"

Li Su sighed and said, "Because the Heaven-Shaking Thunder is a firearm after all, if it is consumed regardless of the quantity, in two hours, even if the Goryeo defenders do not break down, the city wall should be blown down......"

Li Shimin's body shook suddenly, and he said in an excited tone: "What does Zizheng mean is that all the earth-shaking thunder concentrates firepower and only attacks one point, and the city can be destroyed?" ”

"That's exactly what the minister meant."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his voice: "Someone, pass on my general's order, two thousand thunder throwers assemble, choose the weakest place on the east city wall, and throw it with earth-shaking thunder, no matter the quantity, no matter the cost, to blow it up for me!" ”

"In addition, all the soldiers are ready to rush in as soon as the city wall collapses! Before sunset, I will hold a banquet in the city to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers of the three armies! ”

…………

Gunpowder is a thing from the present world, very useful, in addition to being used in war, but also used in many aspects, such as blowing up mountains and mining and so on, even the strong mountain and stubborn stones can be turned into powder under the power of gunpowder, not to mention a city wall made of bricks and stones.

With Li Su's suggestion, Li Shimin immediately accepted it completely, and then quickly adjusted his tactics.

Two thousand throwers immediately gathered under the eastern wall, chose a small crack in the wall that had been blown out by the round of bombardment, lit the lead of the earth-shattering thunder, and threw it frantically at that point.

In the face of the Tang army's sudden change of tactics, Gao Huizhen was stunned for a short time, after seeing the eastern city wall with the bombardment of the earth-shattering thunder and the broken brick wall, Gao Huizhen was shocked, it was better to attack its side than to attack it, he finally understood the intention of the Tang army, and then was shocked, roaring like crazy and screaming all the archers to shoot arrows under the city wall, and the only dozen or so stone-throwing vehicles left at the head of the city also kept throwing huge stones at the more than 2,000 thunder-throwers of the Tang army.

The battle became more and more fierce and brutal in an instant.

Both sides were not afraid of death, fighting for their lives, in the continuous tug-of-war, the crack in the eastern city wall was blown bigger and bigger, and finally Shengsheng was torn open by the earth-shaking thunder A half-zhang long gap.

The defenders of the city became more and more frenzied, and as the hole was torn bigger and bigger, the defenders became more and more reckless, and some even jumped into the hole themselves frantically, trying to fill it with flesh and blood. With the first, there was the second, and then, countless defenders jumped into it alive, in a way that was akin to sacrifice, in exchange for the vitality of the city and the whole of Goguryeo.

Indescribable tragedy and cruelty, human life is no longer human life at this time, but a handful of soil, a bag of sand, a brick, the moment when the city is about to be destroyed, they can only choose to exchange their lives for the vitality of the city.

Li Su looked at this tragic scene at the head of the city from afar, and couldn't help but turn his head and close his eyes, he couldn't look any further, he knew that the initiator of this tragic and cruel scene was himself, and it was because of one of his own suggestions that the city wall was torn open, and then so many living lives would be allowed to fill that gap, although those lives were enemies, Li Su still couldn't bear to look directly at this picture.

Keep telling yourself, reminding yourself that this is war, war can only be lived and died, even if there is no suggestion from yourself, this Liaodong city will still be breached after all, and none of the defenders in the city will be spared, and they will all be slaughtered, and your own suggestion will still reduce the casualties after all, from another point of view, this is a merit.

After self-deception and self-comfort, Li Su's mood finally felt better, and at this time, the battle situation in the city also made progress.

After all, the flesh and blood could not compete with firearms, and the gaps filled by countless lives were finally torn apart by the incessant pouring of earth-shaking thunder, and an hour later, after a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, there was a sudden piercing roar, and the masonry above the mouth of the eastern city wall collapsed like a shower, submerging all the bodies of the defenders who filled in the holes, and the hole that was torn apart by the earth-shaking thunder finally collapsed into a small slope like a hill.

Li Shimin, who was watching the battle from a distance, was so excited that his face turned red, and he pointed to the small slope and said in a trembling voice: "The city is broken!" Beat the drums! Rush in for me! ”

The roaring drums were overshadowed by the shouts of the landslide and the cracking of the earth, the flags were rolled, the men and horses neighed, and the eastern wall of Liaodong City was like an embankment that had been washed away by a flood, and an irresistible black torrent quickly poured into the opening.

On the fourth day of February in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Liaodong City was broken by the Tang army.

************************************************************************

The city is broken, since the opening was torn open, Liaodong City is destined to be unable to defend, even if there are 100,000 enemy troops defending the city, after all, it is still irreversible and declining.

Of course, Li Shimin's statement that a banquet in the city before sunset was just a slogan, and in fact, after the Tang army rushed into Liaodong City, the war was still not over.

The city wall is only the first line of defense, and this line of defense is broken, and Liaodong City also has a second and third line of defense, such as Wengcheng, such as street fighting.

Some of the enemy troops defending the city saw the situation clearly, threw away their weapons after losing their fighting spirit, and bowed their heads to the ground and surrendered, and some enemy troops chose not to give in, swore to resist, and lost and resisted every step, and immediately retreated into the urn city after the city was broken, and the urn city was lost, so they retreated into the city in small units of 100 people and dozens of people, and used the streets and alleys to attack and fight.

The city was full of fires, screams, and deaths with every breath, and every scream represented the passing of a life.

The sky gradually darkened, it was already dusk, Li Shimin did what he said, before sunset, Liaodong City was really broken, the blood-colored sunset reflected the sunset, and the fire in the city rushed to the sky, reflecting the sky.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the world is like blood.

…………

Street fighting in the city continued, and the fighting was still fierce, however, for the Goguryeo defenders, the tide was over, and there was no return.

Li Shimin and many generals did not enter the city, and after the street fighting, they cleaned up the battlefield and cleaned up the remnants of the enemy, and in the next two or three days, the fighting in the city would continue until all the remnants of the enemy fled or were annihilated.

The atmosphere in the tent outside the city swept away the depression of many days, and tonight became harmonious.

Li Shimin did not break his promise, and sure enough, he set up a banquet in the handsome tent to celebrate his achievements, and the war has been quite unsmooth for many days, and the monarchs and ministers have a heavy boulder in their hearts, and at this moment tonight, the boulder in their hearts has been unloaded, and the monarchs and ministers have breathed a sigh of relief.

Liaodong city broken, is a huge good news for the monarch and ministers, the geographical location of this city is very important, after the breakthrough of this city, the Tang army finally grasped the strategic initiative, can advance or retreat, can go north and south, on the contrary, with the loss of Liaodong City, it is a shocking bad news for Goguryeo, they have since become passive, after today, they can only closely watch the movement of the Tang army, against the rhythm and direction of the Tang army to mobilize a large army to resist, if the Tang army goes north, they can only choose to go north to support, if the Tang army goes south, They could only go south to resist, that is, with the loss of Liaodong City, Goguryeo could only be led by the nose by the Tang army from then on.

The atmosphere in the tent was high and enthusiastic, and the Tang army in the city was methodically fighting in the streets according to the established plan to clean up the remnants of the enemy, while the monarchs and ministers in the tent were roasting the whole sheep and feasting.

Of course, no matter how ecstatic he was, Li Shimin did not dare to order the generals to drink at the celebration banquet, this is a taboo in the army, and it is already very polite to eat a whole sheep banquet, after all, this is still a battlefield, after all, the street fighting in the city is not over.

Li Su was also in the crowd of generals celebrating the achievement, and the position was very conspicuous, Li Shimin gave a strong order, let Li Su sit next to him, as Li Shimin's sister-in-law, Li Tai, the king of Wei, could only sit far behind a group of generals, looking at Li Su who was proud of the stars and holding the moon in the spring breeze, Li Tai was so jealous that he gritted his teeth, but he was helpless.

The whole sheep was roasted with a sizzling sound, the skin was brown and crispy, a small and delicate silver knife was held in the hands of Li Shimin, Li Shimin personally bent down to cut off a piece of tender mutton from the belly of the whole sheep, handed it to Li Su, and laughed: "Generals, today's city, in addition to the soldiers of the three armies fighting bravely and fearlessly not afraid of death, also rely on Li Zizheng in the Chinese army to plan for me, not to mention that the earth-shaking thunder was also from the hands of Zizheng, our army has today's big victory, I am determined to make a contribution to Li Zizheng, can the generals be convinced?" ”

All the generals laughed, agreed, and were convinced.

Li Su hurriedly got up and saluted: "It all depends on the hard work of the soldiers to make a contribution to the sky, and the ministers have not killed an enemy or occupied a place, what is the merit?" The minister asked His Majesty to take back his order and give the credit to the truly meritorious soldiers. ”

Li Shimin said unhappily: "What's yours is yours, what are you pushing!" The army has always had clear rewards and punishments, and the merits and demerits have their own measurements, so Zizheng just accepts it! ”

Li Ji on the side hurriedly threw a look at Li Su, Li Su knew that he didn't want to see him disturb Li Shimin's interest, so he had to accept the credit with a wry smile.
