Chapter 600: Just
"Boss, do you want to fight like you did yesterday?" Liu Renyuan, who thought about it all night and didn't come up with a good plan to break the city, asked Wu Yuanqing, who was in the mood to hum a song, with red eyes, yawning and asking in good spirits.
"Today, let's just fight like that, anyway, we are invincible, so what, move the catapult to the other two sides of the city wall, all taken care of. Don't let them think that we can't take them and rotate them with confidence." Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.
"However, we don't have many arrows and crossbow arrows, and if we continue to fight like this, we won't run out of them for two or three days." Liu Ren said bitterly.
"Oh, then don't get rockets today, as long as you don't get burned, when we take down this Siyu City, it's still ours. By the way, I remember that we didn't capture a lot of arrows before, why are we running out of arrows?" Speaking of the back, Wu Yuanqing suddenly remembered that a lot of arrows had been captured, and asked very strangely.
"What, the soldiers think that the arrows of the Baekje people are too rough, the arrows are not sharp, the shafts of the arrows are not straight, and many of them do not have arrows, so they don't like to use them." Liu Renyuan said very embarrassed.
"I'm so ......." Wu Yuanqing's face froze, and he almost scolded his mother, these bastards still dare to pick and choose.
"Don't be angry, Chief, I order them to use the captured arrows first." Seeing that Wu Yuanqing's face was wrong, Liu Renyuan, who was afraid of being scolded, suddenly sobered up, and turned his head and ran away after speaking.
"Hell, it's pretty fast." Looking at Liu Renyuan's back, Wu Yuanqing laughed.
"Not enough arrows? Hehe, you can take it today, what's not enough." Glancing at Siyu City, Wu Yuanqing muttered to himself.
..............
"Report, Your Majesty, the Tang Army has begun to shift its position to attack our East Gate and West Gate."
In the Baekje Palace in Sihyun City, a man who looked like a guard commander hurriedly walked in from outside the main hall and knelt on the ground with a puff to report it.
"Pu Jiangjun, can you pay it back, can you still hold it?" King Yici, the new king of Baekje, who had just died of his father, asked with some panic, and his voice trembled.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the Tang army is small, so he can only concentrate his forces to attack one side, and it is already too strong to fight on both sides at the same time. Our forces outnumber them by too much, and we are defending the city, so we naturally have an advantage over them who are besieging the city. General Li was absolutely sure of holding the city, and when the minister entered the palace, General Li had already begun to deploy and wait until dark to go out of the city to raid the Tang army's position." The kneeling Pu Jiangjun said in a loud voice.
"Really? That's great, it's really good. Pu Jiangjun, I'm glad to have you by the side of the lonely king." King Yici was very happy and said.
..........
Just when the monarchs and ministers in the palace were happy that the city would not be breached and that they would be safe, the Tang army launched a fierce attack on the east and west.
Virulence is the frequency and momentum of the attack.
Because the city walls on the east and west sides were not covered by the guns on the ships, the Tang army was not too close to the city wall, and at a distance of nearly 100 steps, the arrows thrown by the archers reached the sky, that is, they exceeded the city wall by a few zhang, and it was impossible to go far, so in addition to the threat to the defenders on the city wall, there was no threat to the people in the city who assisted in defending the city.
Rockets are not used, and the people of the city do not need to fight fires.
Of course, even if you use rockets, it's useless, and all the buildings and houses in the south half of the city were engulfed in fire and burned into a white ground, burning for a day and a night, and there is still white smoke in many places.
Nearly half of the people in the city were homeless, crowded in the northern half of the city in a miserable panic, listening to the earth-shattering shouts outside the city, the sound of swishing arrows breaking through the air, and from time to time there were bursts of bitter crying.
In war, the most bitter thing is the people.
Wu Yuanqing, who was standing on the ship, seemed to be able to hear the wails of the people of Baekje in the city, but he was not moved in the slightest.
This is also war, a war between nations.
Back then, when Baekje helped Goguryeo resist the Sui Dynasty's conquest, these people didn't know how much they had contributed, whether it was voluntary or not, but they always helped.
The Great Sui and Tang Dynasty, the country name is different, the emperor is different, and the emperor's surname is different, but the same lineage is my Chinese descendants, and I am a Han country.
The Sui Dynasty buried hundreds of thousands of bones in Liaodong, their hatred is the hatred of the Tang Dynasty, and the hatred of all the people of the Tang Dynasty.
The Sui Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo had nothing to do with Baekje, Goguryeo was a vassal state of the Sui Dynasty, but it did not respect the orders of the suzerain, and even repeatedly sent troops to invade the territory of the Sui Dynasty.
Baekje, which was also a vassal state of the Sui Dynasty, helped Goguryeo to fight against the suzerain, which was rebellion and rebellion.
The Tang Dynasty, which inherited the Sui Dynasty, should seek back this justice, which is justified.
Some people may say that the people are innocent, but in fact, they are not innocent, they are the people of Baekje, and when Baekje helped Goguryeo win the Sui Dynasty, they were all honored and rejoicing.
The caravan of the samurai was involved everywhere in the three kingdoms of Liaodong, not to mention Goguryeo, the people of Baekje, and even the Silla people, who have always had a deep relationship with the Tang Dynasty, when it comes to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers who died in Liaodong in the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo is full of praise for the Sui Dynasty and the repeated intrusions of the Tang Dynasty.
Such a country, such a people, does not deserve pity.
What's more, this is the national war, we fight justice, let you die.
Justice, when this word appeared in Wu Yuanqing's heart, he was extremely reasonable. Because the ancestors of the Han people, the sages, and the emperors of all dynasties rarely provoked border provocations in foreign wars, they have always been beaten, and they will fight back when they are beaten to the point that they can't do it.
When personal safety is threatened, self-defense and counterattack are clearly recorded in the laws of various countries in later generations when the laws of civilization are highly developed.
In ancient times, when all the Chinese dynasties were standing at the top, we could do this, and there was no reason not to be arrogant.
Our foreign wars have always been just.
Since we are righteous, why should we care whether the unrighteous enemy is dead or alive, or if we are not dead, we should die.
From morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, neither side has free time to have lunch.
"It's almost time to go. Go ahead, let the artillery do a round, and you can go up with the people." Seeing that the sun was about to set, Wu Yuanqing turned his head and said to a lieutenant standing behind him.
"Yes, Chief, my subordinates will live up to their trust." The lieutenant had a resolute expression on his face.
"Haha, no, don't put on such a generous face to death, all the attention of the city is drawn to both sides, and you have to do something that the people of Baekje won't notice. So, don't worry, you can't die." Wu Yuanqing snorted and quipped.
"The chief manager...."It was too ruin in the atmosphere, and the captain looked at Wu Yuanqing with a resentful look.
"Go, go, go." Wu Yuanqing held back a smile and waved his hand.
