Volume 9 Goryeo Under the Smoke of Gunfire Chapter 3 Naval Raid

In an instant, the raging flames enveloped the entire city gate, and the soldiers of Silla were constantly struggling in the flames, and they could not imagine that they did not fall down on the most dangerous road, and they were completely solved at the finish line. The flames devoured mercilessly, the blazing temperature melted the snow on both sides of the city gate quickly, and an indescribable smell spread, one by one the soldiers of Silla rushed out of the city gate and rushed towards the opposite side, in the last moment of their lives, they also had to pull a Korean to die together, and in the last time they also had to contribute to Silla.

"Stop...... The large army of Silla that followed all the way stopped at this time, they did not follow rashly, and quickly followed up while waiting for the leading death squad to capture the city gate, but now the situation is ...... The Silla people were a little hesitant again.

The vast trumpets came out of the Goryeo city, and the sound of the bull's horns spread far and wide, only to see a gate slowly closing at the other end of the gate hole, this is an iron gate, the heavy iron gate is like a primeval sacred mountain crushing the hearts of the Silla soldiers surrounded by fire, suppressing their last hope in the abyss of despair. Their sacrifice was so powerless, it turned out that the Goryeo people had been prepared for a long time, and they actually made such an iron gate and deliberately lured them to attack the city, just to consume the group of death squads of the Silla Kingdom. Because they weren't just soldiers, they were a bunch of dead soldiers. They can die in anger, just to tear a hole in the city of Goryeo, but there are not many such soldiers, and it is not something ordinary people can do to carry heavy siege logs all the way, and training such soldiers is not something that can be achieved in three or two years. Silla Elementary School, there will definitely not be many such soldiers. As long as some of the threats of Silla are eliminated, some must be eliminated.

"Haha...... Silla soft-as-you-goss, hide under your queen's skirt! We want to defeat our great nation of Goryeo. Go first, then feed for two years and come back! The Goryeo soldiers laughed on top of the city walls.

"Goryeo dog, Hugh is rampant! Have the ability to go out of the city and fight......" Silla shouted under the city wall in a hurry, they had no way, the Goryeo people held on to the city and did not come out, in this ice and snow, the Goryeo people would not be willing to fight with them, their advantage was that the city was high and the walls were thick, how could they give up such an advantage and fight them in the field. When the cold winter passed, the Silla people were almost short of food and soldiers. It's the best time for a decisive battle.

Above the sea, Li Kuan saw the smoke rising into the sky from a distance: "It seems to be a city there?" How did it catch fire? "Take out your binoculars and look at them. Only then did it turn out that the two armies were fighting.

"It seems that the Silla and Goryeo people are fighting! Hehe...... It's ridiculous that three small countries are fighting all day long, but no matter what, all of you are the target of this king, no matter which country you are, every one of these peninsulas will be completely a thing of the past. Li Kuan put down the binoculars and gave the order to the people behind him to speed up. Then he continued to be silent in the cold sea breeze, he came, the era was about to change completely, and he let go of the last struggle in his heart. He wants to turn this land upside down completely.

The ship was fast to the shore, and the strong sea breeze was in the opposite direction of the ship's travel, so the sails were not opened. Relying on the strength of the group of Japanese slaves under the cabin to row the ship forward, Li Kuan did not have the slightest pity. This group of Japanese slaves is just a group of prisoners of war, and Li Kuan will not care about their life or death. Along the way, every day, the corpses of the Japanese slaves would be pulled out of the lowest cabins and thrown into the sea to become the lunch of sharks in the sea. Li Kuan will not feel distressed how many of these people die, anyway, they are the cannon fodder they caught, and this time in the war among the Japanese slave countries, countless men in the Japanese slave countries were killed in battle, and now the population of the Japanese slave country is less than three or four out of ten of the previous ones, such a country plus the rule of Chen Tuan and various hidden schools should never be able to turn up any storms.

The ship approached the coast, the weapons compartment above the cabin opened, and in the windows of the black holes, the sharp eight-bull crossbow had been wound, and the huge arrows that looked like spears were erected on the eight-ox crossbow, and of course, there were indispensable military green packages, not only that, but on the deck, huge machines began to be pushed out, and from the cabin, trebuchets with wheels like carts were erected on the deck near the shore. Each ship had several catapults, and this thing was also a formidable siege machine.

"Report General...... There's a fleet of ships approaching on the sea! At this time, the Koreans finally discovered Li Kuan and their ship, a soldier hurriedly rang Yuan Gai Suwen report, this is the first time they have seen such a large ship, like a small castle that can move, the edge of the ship is several feet high, it is as high as their city wall, when did so many ships arrive? They had been fighting the Silla people before, and they didn't notice it at all.

"Tang ......" Yuan Gai Suwen thought clearly at once, this must be the fleet of the Tang Dynasty, he knows more than these ordinary Goryeo soldiers, he knows that in fact, the most powerful country in this land is not their Goryeo, but in that rich Central Plains land called the Tang Dynasty, this country is a behemoth compared to them Goryeo, in their eyes it is already an impregnable city, in the Tang Dynasty is just a small county county level, although he has not been to the Tang Dynasty, But from the news obtained from various channels over the years, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the city called Chang'an, the city wall is more than ten zhang high, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in a city. This city is equivalent to one-third or four-fourth of the population of Goryeo, and such a country has never given up on Goryeo. A strong sense of crisis has always shrouded the heart of Yuangai Suwen, which is why Yuangai Suwen is so eager to use troops against Silla and Baekje, hoping to unify the entire peninsula and then resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty.

He was glad that the Tang Dynasty had not attacked Goryeo over the years, because more than ten years ago there was a large-scale civil strife in this powerful country, and countless anti-kings established themselves as kings on this land, which made the powerful dynasty before the Tang Dynasty fall apart in an instant, and then caused the entire country to be devastated. Therefore, he must hurry up and make Goryeo stronger, not to be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty, but to be able to protect himself in the subsequent attack of the Tang Dynasty.

But now, so many ships suddenly appeared, which made his heart flutter all of a sudden: he didn't expect Datang to move troops against them so soon. This is news that he never expected, and now he is inseparable from Silla Baekje, which can be said to be even worse.

"No, Silla and Baekje don't have to worry about these people, but with such a huge fleet as Datang, I don't know how many people and how many troops there will be! I can't keep it here! I have to spread the news here to my father in the royal capital and King Rongliu! Yuangai Suwen thought for a moment, then found a cronie and quickly wrote a letterhead: "You hurry out of the city, send this letter to the royal capital, and hand it over to Lord Lu, the Tang Dynasty has sent troops!" ”

"General, you want to stay here? Isn't it too risky? "As a close confidant of Yuangai Suwen, naturally for his sake, this place is so dangerous, why do you still stay here?

"I can't go, as the lord of a city, if I abandon the city and flee like this, it will be the biggest dereliction of duty, I will use the city wall to stick to the end, go to the royal capital quickly, and ask for reinforcements from His Majesty the King!" Yuangai Suwen said firmly.

......Seeing that Yuangai Suwen was so resolute, the soldiers no longer dissuaded him, he knew that what he could do now was to go to Wangdu as much as possible to move back to rescue the soldiers, which was the best decision, and hoped that he could hold out here until he moved back to the reinforcements. After kneeling down to Yuangai Suwen, he quickly rode a war horse and went out from the direction of the city and headed towards the royal capital of Goryeo.

"Oh...... A man came out of the city gate and walked in the other direction? Li Kuan watched every move of the Goryeo people: "It seems that the Goryeo people have discovered us, are they going to move the rescue troops?" Ha ha...... Go ahead and wait until you're far away to see a giant fireworks display! Tremble! Li Kuan raised his right hand high, and suddenly a special flag bearer conveyed this command in flags, and suddenly all the weapons on the ships were already in a trigger state, as long as they waited for Li Kuan's order, they would erupt the most powerful attack in the world.

"Let go of the ......" waved down his right hand, and suddenly the long leads on the round iron bumps in the trebuchet on the deck were ignited, and streams of green smoke spread on the deck, and then as the rope that held the trebuchet was cut, these iron bumps were ejected, and a gorgeous parabola crossed the air, leaving the trail of gunsmoke. At the same time, in the weapons compartment of the ship, arrows were also fired by the Eight Ox crossbows, carrying tail smoke like rocket launches, two different weapons, both carrying the same private goods - explosives. Rushing towards the Goryeo fortress, of course, the trebuchet was projectile and the contents on it were not bundled together, so they dispersed in mid-air, forming a bombardment surface, enveloping the Silla people outside the city and the Baekje people who remained in the camp.

The explosion of "boom ......" shook the sky for the first time on this peninsula, on this seaside, the city of Yuangai Suwen was the first to become a victim, because the eight bull crossbows were aimed at this city and fired, the arrows of the eight bull crossbows were much faster than the grenades thrown by the trebuchet, so they attacked the target first, although the lead had not yet burned, but the violent impact made the explosives on the arrow explode directly, and suddenly the whole city trembled in this explosion. (To be continued......)
