Chang Miao's siege battle was as well prepared as ever, and the timber originally cut down on the north bank of the Datong River was used to lay bridges in addition to making a large number of siege equipment, which were also transported to the front line one by one, and put into actual combat after being assembled.

For the first time, those Goryeo peasant soldiers saw the siege posture of the army of the Silk Country, and they were stunned one by one. In the face of the well-equipped Liaodong Army, these patchwork soldiers did not even have armor except for the weapons in their hands, and suffered extremely heavy casualties under the rain of arrows in the Silk Country, on the other hand, the soldiers of the Silk Country advanced to the city wall under the protection of various siege equipment, and it was for this reason that the Liaodong Army, which was less than 80,000 in number, could attack Pyongyang City, which was defended by 200,000 people.

Fortunately, with Lu Xuan's command and dispatch in a good way, and the number of soldiers in Pyongyang was very sufficient, he finally withstood the offensive of the Liaodong Army. At this time, even the military generals of Ah Yi Branch, Cha Jung-hyun and Han Wen, who were transferred back to the capital after the last war, also spontaneously came under the command of Lu Hyun, and they realized that this battle was really related to the fate of Goryeo, if the capital was captured, the northern part of Goryeo would all fall into the hands of the Silk Country, and it was unknown whether the southern part could hold on. At this moment, these two generals put aside the factional dispute and returned to the identity of a military general who resisted the invaders, and shared the same hatred with Lu Xuan. Together, they defended the capital of Goryeo. Even Ah Yizhi, who has always been against Lu Xuan. Although on the surface he did not give in, he actually began to organize the defense work in the imperial city. The original contradictions in Goryeo were temporarily put aside, and the entire city of Pyongyang began to operate as a whole. Not only did Lu Xuan feel relieved. Even the Liaodong army under the city walls clearly felt the changes in the city, and their attack became more and more difficult, although they still had the advantage, but the walls of Pyongyang City were never able to be overcome.

After eleven days of continuous attack, the casualties of the Liaodong Army exceeded 10,000. On this day, Chang Miao was still standing on the high ground observing the progress of the siege, but unfortunately, although the Liaodong army was brave and good at fighting, it was still helpless against the Goryeo army in the city.

If this continues, morale will get lower and lower. Chang Miao was secretly worried in his heart. Lu Xuan's defense is leaky. In addition, the protection of the city wall was a good way to stop the panic of the untrained peasant soldiers, and these peasant soldiers began to become more and more warlike these days. Although their weapons and equipment were still so rudimentary, the casualties were gradually decreasing, and if this continued, the numerical superiority of the Goryeo army in the city would become more and more prominent. This was very disadvantageous to the Liaodong Army, which did not have an advantage in numbers.

"My lord! My lord! ”

A voice interrupted Chang Miao's thoughts. Chang Miao raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. I saw a figure running up from the ground. Chang Miao didn't recognize this person's identity at first, because his body was covered with blood, and he had reached the point where he couldn't see his original outfit. It wasn't until he got closer that Chang Miao recognized this person as Wang Hanxin, the deputy commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion.

"How did you get here?" Chang Miao asked casually.

Wang Hanxin wiped the blood and sweat on his forehead, gasped and said: "Lord Duhu, it's not a way to fight so hard, my detachment now has only more than a hundred people left, and almost all of them are injured, and they don't have much combat ability." ”

Chang Miao frowned. This is not like the tone of Wang Hanxin, who has always been brave, said: "Do you have any ghost ideas again?" ”

Wang Han's new view was broken by Chang Miao. He smiled and said, "The last general's careful thinking really can't deceive Lord Duhu." The last general thought of a way to open the walls of Pyongyang City, but the last general did not dare to guarantee that this method would be successful, and the Lord Metropolitan would like to hear about the plan of the last general? ”

"Say it."

When Wang Hanxin heard this, he pointed in the direction of Pyongyang City and said: "Lord Duhu, please see, the walls of this Pyongyang City are both high and thick, so we can only use ladders, nest cars, or dig tunnels, but these methods have already been clear to the other party, so our attack will not work." If we use wooden donkeys as cover to dig the city wall, the wall is too thick, and even if we dig up the wall, the other party has already arranged for the troops to block us from entering the city, and it takes too many people and too long to dig down the wall, so we didn't use the tactic of digging the wall at all, but the last general thought of a way to make it collapse without digging the wall. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Hanxin paused deliberately, Chang Miao reached out and patted his helmet and said, "If you have something to say, what is the sale." ”

Wang Hanxin smiled and said, "Yes." The last general stole a firearm from the Shenji Battalion, and later you punished me to go to the Shenji Camp to learn how to use the firecracker, so the last general also learned that the operating principle of this firearm is to rely on the huge force generated when the gunpowder explodes to burst out the projectile, and the last general thinks that if we dig a small hole at the bottom of the city wall, and then put all the gunpowder of the Shenji Camp into it and ignite it, that force may be able to collapse the city wall. ”

Wang Hanxin's words made Chang Miao feel excited, and suddenly, Chang Miao grabbed Wang Hanxin's arms and said with a smile: "This method is interesting, let's try it!" ”

"Yes! Please give an order, and the last general will go to the Shenji Camp to prepare! ”

Chang Miao patted Wang Hanxin on the shoulder again and again and said, "How did you kid come up with this ghost idea!" Yes, yes, if this is successful, it will be much easier to siege the city in the future, and this method of yours will go down in history. ”

Chang Miao immediately ordered, and Wang Hanxin received the general's order and immediately deployed. In the afternoon of the same day, 60 wooden donkeys were pushed under the city of Pyongyang, and under the cover of the wooden donkeys, the Liaodong army frantically excavated the walls of Pyongyang City below. Faced with this situation, the Goryeo army continued to shoot rockets, but the spire of the wooden donkey was already covered with wet mud, and neither rockets nor stones could destroy it. Lu Xuan immediately ordered to throw down the oil drum first, scatter it on the ground and then ignite it with a rocket, trying to burn the wooden donkey from the ground, but the Liaodong Army was well-trained, and once the danger was discovered, it immediately covered the fire with the sediment prepared in advance, so the casualties were very limited. By the evening of the day, only four of the sixty wooden donkeys had been destroyed. Lu Xuan had to prepare his troops to stand by inside the city walls, and he knew that it was only a matter of time before the walls were dug through like this.

However, at night of the same day, something happened that stunned the entire Goryeo army, and with a loud bang, the northwest city wall burst into flames, and the entire Pyongyang city felt the earth tremble, and after all this, the northwest wall of Pyongyang city was shattered by a full twenty zhang long! More than 2,000 of the 5,000 people on standby behind that section of the wall were immediately buried under the collapsed wall. Before the Goryeo army could recover from the shock, a large number of Liaodong troops came in, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.

The walls have been breached! This news spread like a plague among the Goryeo army, and the morale of the Goryeo army instantly slipped to the bottom, and everyone understood what that would mean, once the city wall was broken through, in the face of the elite Liaodong army, the soldiers in the city could not resist it at all, then the royal capital would fall!

According to historical records, at that time, Ah Yizhi was already preparing to protect King Cui Wende from the capital, but Cui Wende sternly refused. Ah Yizhi had no choice but to take the prince, princess and concubines and began to prepare to flee south. Lu Xuan, on the other hand, desperately mobilized troops to close this gap and did everything possible to buy time for His Majesty, and he himself was ready to live and die with the city.

On the other hand, the morale of the Silk Country was like a rainbow, and the entire army let out an earth-shattering cry, rushing to the gap. Chang Miao was also the joy of patience when he stood on the high ground, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud on the high ground when he was always reserved.

"Report! The Tiger Guard Battalion has broken into the city, and the enemy army has been routed by it! ”

"Report! Our troops have climbed to the west gate and are engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders. ”

The good news came one after another, and Chang Miao gave instructions one by one. At this time, there was a news that was not important at all, but it was the icing on the cake for Chang Miao, that is, his close attendant Cao Shenjun Mu Yanping had recovered from illness and returned to the team, and asked to meet Lord Du Hu immediately.

Chang Miao was even more overjoyed when he heard the news, Mu Yanping had unfortunately fallen ill since the siege of Dingzhou, and finally recovered and returned after a few months, and it was just in time for the great joy of conquering Pyongyang, Chang Miao even ordered him to come.
