Volume 11 Shooting the Partridge Chapter 901 [Artifact]
Hearing Chong Xuan's explanation, everyone was dumbfounded, even Yue Fei and Sun Xin were also staring at each other, how could Yang Keshi be regarded as a veteran general in the army, and immediately couldn't help but say: "This ...... Isn't this the kindness of a woman? ”
Yes, now that the city has been attacked, I am afraid of what will be true, and I dare not send troops to occupy the city, isn't this really too much of a virgin!
Hearing the woman's benevolent comments, Huang Jie also knew that Chong Xuan's explanation was indeed misinterpreting his meaning, and hurriedly defended: "No! Definitely! It's not that they don't want to send troops for fear of telling the truth, it's just that sending troops in this way is easy to make the situation out of control. Pen? Interesting?

He hurriedly pointed at Yue Fei and said: "With Yue's command method, although occupying the city gate is not an invasion of his country, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of attacking the inner city of the palace by capturing the government and treasury, or attacking the inner city of the palace. Therefore, Ben Shuai's idea is to make a move to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, and break the city and shock the enemy...... We may be able to follow the Jin army's strategy of conquering Yanjing and tear down his city walls with the power of thunder until he takes the initiative to succumb. In this way, it will not only prolong the military prestige of our army, but also not cause casualties to our army, and can deter the people who jumped off the beam in the Goryeo court, why not? ”
"Demolition ...... Tear down his walls? Hearing that Huang Jie actually proposed an unbelievable tactic, everyone was stunned, but at the same time, their eyes involuntarily glanced to the side, but they also saw the east gate of Pyongyang, which is now collapsed.
In this regard, Huang Jie was also embarrassed, although when he was formulating the battle plan last night, he also planned to either send back the Koreans and Qin Hui and his party today, or directly kill him on his back. But what I never expected was that artillery, a new weapon of black technology, was really a big killer beyond imagination for the Koreans, and just a round of shelling was just put as a test, not only did people run away, but even the city walls and gates collapsed.
Therefore, Huang Jie also temporarily remembered a scene he had seen in a strange dream, it was completely possible to use artillery to tear down the city wall to completely destroy the opponent's will to resist, why use human lives to fight any street battles?
Compared to the lives of the Song army, a shell is worth a few dollars?
Huang Jie also pointed to Pyongyang City and said: "This time I went to Goryeo, because I only brought fifteen artillery pieces, so the ammunition I carried was a full thirty-two bases, and now it is enough, why don't you give it a try?" ”
Hearing Huang Jie actually use a consultative tone to talk to everyone, everyone was slightly stunned, but everyone also knew that Huang Jie was not a stubborn commander, and most of the things in the army in the past were discussed and discussed with everyone, and there was no arbitrary action, so naturally it was also understood.
When everyone was hesitating, who knew that it was Zhao Shuo, the commander of the Shenwu Army, who was the first to give face, but he also saw him take the lead in holding his fists and said: "The last general thinks that the deputy marshal's plan is feasible!" The god of thunder and artillery is mighty, which can be described as the artifact of the country, and the power of the artifact deters the small, destroying both the city and the heart, and the great good! ”
This Zhao Shuo spoke, it really sounded good, no wonder his surname was Zhao. With Zhao Shuo taking the lead, the rest of the people naturally followed the trend, even Yang Keshi was not good at what he was saying, after all, this was the first time he had encountered this situation in front of him, if he could demolish the city of the Goryeo people with artillery alone, there was really no need to take any lives to fill it.
Huang Jie, who had the support of everyone, personally went down to the formation to direct the artillery company to attack.
Originally, this city was called Daeseongsanseong, which was built during the Goguryeo period (located in Daechengdong, Daecheng District, Pyongyang City), around the time of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty (425-428 AD), when Goguryeo moved its capital to Pyongyang.
Although the city has been standing for more than 600 years and has experienced a lot of wars, it has not been greatly renovated so far, and the circumference of the entire Dacheng Mountain wall is about 20 li (about 9,284 meters in total), and the average height is 1 zhang 4 or 5 (4 to 5 meters), and only the four large main gate urn cities in the south, east, and west have reached a height of 2 zhang.
At this time, there are many large and small gates in the whole Pyongyang city, there are almost 20 or so, of which there are four water gates used to control the moat waterway, but there is no trestle bridge across the moat before these side gates, and there is no urn city itself, so it is often completely blocked with bricks and stones after it is closed, for conventional siege operations, there is naturally no value of attacking, it is better to attack the main gate of the city directly, although the urn city system of the main gate often causes heavy casualties to the attacking side in the siege war, However, because the defender of the city also needs to open the door to attack, it will not completely block the traffic of the main gate, so once the besieging side takes the urn city, it is equivalent to opening the passage and can drive straight in.
This is also because the technology of warfare in the past was not yet developed, and there was no very good way to easily demolish the city wall, and for some very offensive armies, they were not interested in studying the way to get the city wall, unless the opponent's resistance was too fierce and it was really impossible to attack for a long time, they would study the tactics of digging holes in the ground and digging the foot of the wall.
And Huang Jie, who went down to the front of the battle, also found that light and long-range artillery did not play a big role in the demolition and relocation activities, so the adjustment he made was to use all these two ten guns as salutes, and specially cast shock bombs to frighten the Koreans.
The task of demolishing the wall was naturally placed on the shoulders of the heavy artillery, but this time the target was naturally not the collapsed main gate, but a side gate about a hundred paces away to the left, and the plaque on the gate read "Dahui Gate".
When everything was ready, Huang Jie also took a closer look with a telescope, and found that from the ruins of the Dazheng Gate to the Dahui Gate, the hundred-step-long city wall had no trace of the defenders, but in the city gate tower of the Dahui Gate, there were a few Korean people who probed their brains.
However, just when everything was ready, Huang Jie was waiting for the hour to come, but suddenly saw the ruins of the main gate, and suddenly staggered out of a person holding a spear, and there was a white towel hanging on the head of the gun, and hurriedly raised the telescope in his hand to take a look, but also found that it was an acquaintance, it was the old man of Jin Dazhong, just looking at his hair was scattered, his robe was not right, and his face was distorted because of fear.
Seeing that he came out with a white flag, Huang Jie had no choice but to order a halt to the attack, and watched him slowly walk out of the ruins of the ruins tremblingly, and moved to the edge of the moat, so he asked someone to go and talk to him.
