In the loud roar, the brick-clad walls on the eastern gate of Pyongyang could no longer hold on, and they peeled off and collapsed, revealing the rammed earth walls with blackened interiors. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huang Jie really didn't expect the city of the Goryeo people to be so fragile, he was not without experimenting with bombardment of the wall with cannons when he was in Huangzhou, at that time, he found craftsmen to make a number of walls of different sizes according to the standard process of building the city of the Great Song Dynasty, and the results of the test took more than a dozen cannons to completely destroy the city bricks on the wall, and now against the Goryeo, it was a few shells that collapsed the opponent's city.

However, since it was decided to attack the city, it was naturally a good thing that such a situation occurred, and Huang Jie naturally didn't say anything more, and the artillery company would bombard him for ten rounds according to the predetermined battle plan.

It's just that no one knows, at this time, the Goryeo people behind the main gate are unlucky, first of all, this first round of blows, bombarded at the city gate and the city gate on the two shells that seem to be missed, hit the city tower is good to say, I don't know what happened to be encountered on the way, but also failed to penetrate the city gate tower, and this cannonball on the city gate, not only happened to break the door latch of the city gate directly, but also beat more than a dozen Goryeo soldiers standing behind the gate to the face full of peach blossoms.

After that, the artillery of the Song army also seemed to have eyes, and the five light artillery pieces came to smash the door full-time, and the five long-range guns were aimed at the city gate tower and bombarded, as for the five heavy artillery, their task was naturally to smash the wall.

It was only three or four rounds of effort, and the city gate, which was riddled with holes, first couldn't hold on to collapse, and then soon the city gate tower collapsed as a whole because the load-bearing pillars were directly broken, and then the urn city in front of the main gate collapsed as a whole.

It's just that at this time, because the battle order was not changed, seeing that the former urn city had collapsed, the people of the artillery company simply adjusted the design angle slightly, and dumped all the shells onto the gate tower of the inner urn city of the main gate.

Speaking of which, this is not the first large-scale application of artillery, after all, under the city of Linqing before, Huang Jie also used artillery to slaughter the cavalry of the Jin State. The use of artillery to siege the city on such a scale is the first time in the history of the Great Song Dynasty and even the world.

Looking at only ten rounds of artillery bombardment, the seemingly impregnable local city was blown open a big gap, and even the city gate and the city gate tower were collapsed, and the enemy and our armies on the entire battlefield were naturally shocked by this scene in front of them. Not counting Huang Jie, who knew that he was so bored, almost everyone with some brains keenly felt that from now on, he was afraid that there would be new changes in the way the war was conducted, and no one knew whether the direction of change would be more cruel or bloody.

After the ten rounds of artillery bombardment were fired, the front of Pyongyang City was filled with gunpowder smoke on one side, and the other side was dusty, and when the dust finally settled on both sides, it was seen that there was no change in front of the Song army, and the main gate of the city of Pyongyang to the east of the city was only ruins and broken walls for people to hang on.

Ten rounds of shelling, not only the gate tower of the outer urn city completely collapsed, but also the walls of the left and right ends of almost more than ten zhang collapsed, as for the loss of the inner urn city is also huge, although the city wall of the inner urn city did not collapse, but the city gate tower of the inner gate was not spared, it was also collapsed alive by the shelling, and became a ruin.

Regarding the city pattern of Pyongyang City, I would like to say more here that the urn city of Pyongyang City is square, that is, the one-line city wall is transformed into a mouth character after arriving at the urn city, instead of the city wall of the Great Song Dynasty built into a half-moon shape, and a half-moon arc-shaped urn city is built outside the city gate.

Therefore, ten rounds of artillery bombardment were able to first collapse the walls and towers of the outer urn city along the straight line, and then collapse the tower of the inner urn city.

It's just that when all the dust settled, whether it was the Goryeo people or the Song army, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, not to mention the Koreans, the large-scale use of artillery in the siege war was of course the first time for the Song army, although Huang Jie and the people of the artillery company were not surprised by this achievement, but whether it was the Royal Car Army, or the Shenwu Army, or even the soldiers of Hebei Dare Soldiers, this was the first time they saw it, and they were naturally a little surprised.

But soon, the shocked Song army quickly came to his senses, and immediately saw that Yue Fei, Zhao Shuo and Sun Erjin (Sun Xin), who represented the three armies respectively, as well as Yang Keshi and Chong Xuan and other generals also gathered under the command building car, looking at Huang Jie with expectant eyes, waiting for him to give the order to wave the army to attack.

Who knows, looking at the collapsed Pyongyang City, Huang Jie rubbed his chin and brushed his beard, a trace of hesitation rose on his face, and he gave an order after a long while: "The whole army is on alert on the spot, the artillery company will rest on the spot for half an hour, and then prepare for ten rounds of artillery bombardment." ”

As soon as this order was issued, everyone was stunned, and at this time they turned their heads to see not to mention the city gate tower, even on the city wall within a hundred zhang on the left and right, there was no longer a shadow of a defender.

The puzzled crowd also hurriedly asked to see them, and Huang Jie also allowed them to board the building car, and after coming up, Yang Keshi first asked: "Deputy marshal, why don't you send troops to attack the city?" ”

Huang Jie asked: "If this commander makes Yang Zhizhi lead the army to attack the city, what should he do?" ”

Yang Keshi was stunned when he heard this, his identity this time was to be an envoy with the army, that is, Huang Jie's deputy, and he did not have the actual right to lead the troops, so he usually did some work in the army to pick up and fill in the gaps, and did not participate in the actual strategy formulation, and now Huang Jie suddenly came to ask, he really didn't know how to answer after being stunned for a while.

Huang Jie saw that he couldn't answer, so he also turned to Yue Fei and asked, "Yue Fei, if you are asked to lead an army to attack the city, what should you do?" ”

This time, Yue Fei's reaction was quick, so he also replied: "The last general or lead a group to capture the urn city first, open the way for the army, and then the army is divided into three roads, all the way to the city government and treasury office, all the way to the rest of the gates, and of course all the way to attack the inner city palace and kill the opponent's main general." ”

Saying this, everyone nodded, but only Huang Jie shook his head and sighed, and everyone also stared at each other, not feeling that there was anything wrong with Yue Fei's attack plan.

Huang Jie could only smile helplessly: "I'm waiting here, is it really to destroy his country?" ”

When he said this, everyone was immediately surprised, and he was still smart, and he quickly understood what Huang Jie meant, so he heard her say: "The reason why we went to Goryeo was that Goryeo invaded my Song Dynasty diaspora. In the name of protecting overseas Chinese, the war was started, showing the military power and Goryeo, but it was barely justified. However, if you really attack the city, I am afraid that there will be a suspicion of provocation and invasion of Goryeo, and it may be true. ”
