Many warships of the navy are large in scale and blow deep water, so they cannot directly pass through the Datong River to approach Pingxiang City, and some officers and men of the navy need to be replaced by small and medium-sized ships before they can sail into the Datong River.

Some even had to run from land to Pingxiang City.

At midnight on 20 August, the navy rushed to a place ten miles outside Pingxiang City in a small boat and put down all the naval soldiers!

Pyongxiang Fortress was an important city in Goryeo and the main line of defense against China.

The whole city is built with a high wall and thick walls, the outside of the city wall is covered with blue bricks, and the inside is filled with rammed earth, and the moat is about five zhang high, three zhang wide, and two zhang and five feet deep surround the outside.

Pingxiang City is the most critical city for Goryeo, and it is also a city that can withstand the attack of Huaxia whether Goryeo can resist, so 20,000 soldiers and horses are often stationed here.

This battle was very important for Li Jun and the navy.

In order to take Pyongxiang City in one fell swoop, and in order to show his determination to take Pyongyang City to the death, Li Jun set up a tent 300 steps outside Pyongyang.

In the handsome tent, Zhang Heng looked at Li Jun and said: "This Pingxiangcheng city has thick walls, and it is not easy to fight!" How do you think we should fight? ”

"Pingxiang City is very important to our army's plan, and if we conquer this city, we can lead the Goryeo army away. No matter how difficult it is, you must take Goryeo in one fell swoop, pass the order, and the whole army will storm it, and you must take Goryeo City in one fell swoop! ”

"Good! In that case, let's fight! ”

"Don't care about the strategy now, except for leaving the necessary personnel, everyone will fucking rush to Lao Tzu, take advantage of the fact that the enemy is not ready, and conquer Pingxiang City for Lao Tzu in one go!"

With Li Jun's order, all units of the navy launched an attack on Pyongyang City with simple siege equipment such as smugs and ladders.

As soon as the Goryeo soldiers at the head of the city saw the rolling dust not far away, they could vaguely hear the shouts.

They immediately shouted in horror: "There is an enemy attacking the city, sound the gong quickly!" ”

"Close the gates first! Close the gates! ”

"Tell your Excellency! Let's just say that there is an enemy attacking the city! ”

……

As the rapid sound of the gong was struck by the bell, the Goryeo soldiers who had just gotten up from their beds rushed out of the barracks one after another, and ran towards the city with their swords and guns in a hurry.

Choi Kyung-sun, who was still guarding Pyongyang Fortress in Seokyung, Goryeo, was still resting in his mansion when he was awakened by a sudden scream.

He rushed out of the room and shouted, "What's going on, where is the noise!" ”

Choi Kyung-sun's own soldiers cried and shouted, "My lord, there is an enemy coming!" ”

"Enemies? Where did the enemy come from? How many people are there? Cui Jingshan immediately asked urgently when he heard this.

The soldiers hurriedly shouted: "The little one doesn't know, the little one just heard the news!" ”

Cui Jingshan suddenly slapped him and drank, "I don't know anything, what do I want you to do?" Why don't you go and tell someone to close the city gates and prepare the equipment to defend the city! ”

"Yes, the little ones are going!"

Cui Jingshan didn't even have time to put on his armor, so he hurriedly ran to the city with his guards.

By this time, the navy had blocked the moat, and the dense sea soldiers were desperately climbing up the ladder.

"Quick, quick, attack Lao Tzu!"

Zhang Shun held his shield and shouted hoarsely to the navy soldiers to attack the city tower as soon as possible.

Seeing that the naval soldiers were about to storm the city and seize control of the city walls.

At this time, Cui Jingshan, the garrison of Xijing, arrived in time, standing on the city wall, Cui Jingshan waved his hand and shouted hoarsely: "Release the arrows, don't stop the archers!" ”

Several military commanders shouted in elongated tones: "Zhang Gong...... Put! ”

Under the reprimand of the officers, the Korean soldiers also recovered from the chaos just now, and they bent their bows and arrows, and one after another sharp arrows shot down from the wall.

The military commander waved his arm, the drum sounded, the order was issued, the bow and arrow were shot, and in such a rhythm, in a short time, five or six rounds of arrow rain had been shot!

Sharp arrows suddenly rained down from the sky with a scream of death, and with the powerful inertia of falling from a high altitude, the sharp arrows easily shot through the human body.

The navy suddenly fell to the ground like dumplings, and the speed of its progress was a little slower as a result.

The Goryeo army at the head of the city blocked the breakthrough with bows and arrows, and the navy was in a critical situation.

The roar of arrows tearing through the air was endless.

The naval archers under the castle counterattacked.

From time to time, the Goryeo soldiers at the head of the city were hit by arrows and fell, screaming one after another.

Pyongyang's walls are so strong that they are far more than ordinary cities, and the city is well equipped with equipment and materials.

The navy continued to storm and failed to take control of the city.

Li Jun opened his eyes angrily, the corners of his eyes burst a little, and he roared wildly, "Damn, Lao Tzu is too much." Take out all the explosives and blow up the walls for me! ”

Originally, I wanted to keep the explosives to see if I could hold the city of Pyongyang.

But now I can't even take the city, so what are we talking about!

Zhang Shun and Nguyen Xiaoqi led 300 soldiers carrying explosives bags on their backs to carry out the blasting, and they carried iron shields and crawled forward, approaching a small ridge about 10 meters in front of Pyongyang.

The Goryeo soldiers in the city found out and shot at him desperately.

was forced by the rain of arrows to raise his head at all.

Li Jun saw it from afar and shouted urgently, "Cover him quickly!" ”

The naval archers immediately desperately counterattacked with bows and arrows, and Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi took the opportunity to run under the city wall.

Zhang Shun stuffed all the explosives under the corner of the wall, turned around and was about to evacuate, but a sharp arrow immediately pierced his arm and immediately fell to the ground.

When Ruan Xiaoqi saw it, he hurriedly protected Zhang Shun with an iron shield and dragged him back desperately.

When Li Jun saw Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun coming back, he immediately shouted: "Shoot a rocket!" ”

For a while, the rockets in the sky suddenly shot towards the city wall.

Thundered!

There was a loud bang, shaking one after another, and the entire arrow tower was flooded with smoke and dust.

Immediately afterwards, the beams of the arrow tower were directly broken, the sawdust fell one after another, and the choked Cui Jingshan coughed one after another.

A gust of river wind blew through the smoke.

I saw a big gap in the walls of Pyongyang.

The sailors shouted, "Kill! ”

Under the cover of a rain of arrows, the navy launched a fierce assault and quickly broke into the city, repelling many counterattacks by the Goryeo soldiers.

The follow-up echelon followed up and developed an offensive in depth to the enemy.

Without the protection of the city walls, the Goryeo soldiers were no longer able to resist the fierce offensive of the navy.

In just one stick of incense, the south gate, which had been guarded before, was conquered.

The troops entered the city, attacked side by side in multiple ways, bravely interspersed, divided the Goryeo soldiers in the city, and surrounded and annihilated each one.

Each unit adopted tactical means such as interspersed division and roundabout encirclement to divide the Goryeo soldiers, and then used follow-up troops to attack the Goryeo soldiers holding the stronghold with a combination of firepower, blasting, and assault under the cover of a rain of arrows and grenades.

When the fierce battle arrived, the siege troops from all walks of life successively conquered the west gate and the north gate, and completely annihilated the defenders, and the remaining remnants of the Goryeo soldiers about 8,000 people retreated into the urn city, sticking to the inner city to make stubborn resistance.

Garrison Choi Kyung-sun moved the command post to the Arrow Tower of Urnseong, determined to die with Pyongyang.

In the near future, the navy launched a series of onslaught attacks on Pyongyang's Ongseong City.

Many years later, Ruan Xiaoqi, who was already a senior admiral, recalled.

"It only took one day to really fight Pyongyang, and the difficulty lies in uprooting the inner city."

"The battle to uproot the inner city of Pyongyang began, and no one expected that the battle for the inner city would be so fierce."

"Arrow Tower, the commanding heights of Pyongyang City. The capture of the arrow tower also became the key to controlling Pyongyang. ”

"The Goryeo army has deployed nearly 3,000 guards here, and the arrows are pouring rain down!"

"There are only ten zhang between the outer city and the urn city, which is just ten zhang, and the two sides are killing rivers of blood and mountains of bones."
