Chapter 155: Evolution
Originally, Yulong Chemical was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yulong Group, but Fengtian made Milong products, which immediately made John's eyes widen, this thing is a cash cow, and it has to be mixed in. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even William was red-eyed.
In particular, Feng Tian developed stockings products, and told them about the huge market potential of stockings, so that these two foreign devils suddenly felt that there were white silver dollars floating in front of them, and they couldn't stop it, and they pestered Fengtian to join the stockings industry under Yulong Chemical.
"Feng, I only need ten percent of the shares, please be kind, don't forget that we are good friends." John's reason is really fucked up, hey, if it's a friend, you have to cut love, is there such a reason in the world?
Nearly 40,000 Goguryeo troops were tortured and killed by the river, and the blood stained the river red.
These 40,000 troops are almost the main Goguryeo army in Jiangbei, and there are probably not many Goguryeo troops left in the Jiangbei area today.
However, the Jiangnan Army did not rush forward, and stopped by the river and did not cross the river again.
This year this is not the military focus of the Jiangnan army, and crossing the Jiangbei may be smooth, but it may also cause the war situation to erode.
In order to deal with Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo built a wide range of castles in the Jiangbei region, and asked the Jiangnan army to uproot the castles one by one, such a war is not cost-effective for the current Jiangnan army.
In case the progress does not go well and the war drags on until the cold season, the Jiangnan Army will still have to retreat. Rather than create such a situation, it is better to stay on the peninsula and clean up the rear, and wait until the beginning of spring next year before the offensive comes.
Besides, the royal city of Goguryeo is still there, and it must be solved as soon as possible to avoid leaving future troubles.
Once the Jiangnan Army eliminated the royal family of Goguryeo, Goguryeo would be considered destroyed, and the peninsula would be in the hands of the Jiangnan Army.
The entire operational step was properly planned before the war, and the war on the peninsula focused on speed, and it was necessary to sweep across the peninsula with lightning speed, so that all three aspects of the peninsula would die out in an unexpected situation.
From the current point of view, this plan is completely achievable.
Because, counting from the start of the war with Silla, that is, more than a month, the army led by Zhang Yu has reached the Yalu River.
In the battle of the peninsula, now only the hard bone of the city is left.
Once the land of the city is settled, all that is left are the remnants of the soldiers and some civilians, which is really easy for hundreds of thousands of troops.
So, Zhang Yu set up defenses on the south bank of the Yangtze River and led the army to turn back to deal with the royal city of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo Soil City was built on the banks of the Datong River, a small plain impacted by the river.
Although it is close to the Datong River, it is completely possible to consider water attack, but considering that the walls of the Goguryeo royal city are still tall and strong, water attack is not a good way, so Zhang Yu took fire attack.
It happened that many mountainous areas in the east had not yet had time to be cleared, so Zhang Yu sent the auxiliary army out to arrest people, and Zhang Yu planned to take the method of crowds to conquer the royal city.
A large number of people were escorted to the city, where they cut down firewood for the siege.
Auxiliaries supervised the excavation of tens of thousands of Goguryeo youths, and a long ramp stretched towards the city wall, rising higher and higher, reaching a distance of dozens of paces below the wall.
If you get too close, you may be too lethal with the bows and arrows on the walls, and far away you will be much less threatening.
Yuangai Suwen despised this kind of pediatric siege method, Nima, can you capture the city wall with this little idea?
Try it a little closer and see if Goguryeo's bow and arrow are vegetarian.
Yuangai Suwen was also afraid that the Jiangnan army would attack the east and west, so he only mobilized some people from other city walls to strengthen the defense here.
The problem is that it takes a lot of time to build a platform to occupy the commanding heights, and then use a bow and arrow to suppress the city, and it should be said that the method of this project is not too clever.
Yuangai Suwen didn't worry too much about the other party's stupid method to attack the city.
Because, the closer the platform is to the city wall, the easier it is to receive the bow and arrow from the city wall, and the slower the progress will be.
According to Yuangai Suwen's speculation, it was almost impossible for the enemy to get the fortress to reach the city wall, because the distance of a dozen paces behind was simply impossible to construct, and the Goguryeo army's suppression with bows and arrows would cause a large number of civilian laborers to die.
Jiang Nanjun doesn't care what Yuan Gai Suwen thinks in his heart, he still does his own thing.
When the height of the city wall is about the same, the mound continues to push forward, getting closer and closer to the wall.
The Goguryeo army on the city wall panicked and desperately shot these young men with bows and arrows.
Minzhuang didn't dare to move forward, so the Jiangnan army made people stop, changed tactics, and let people push a large number of firewood and grass down the high slope, and then set fire to the firewood and grass.
When the fire was burning, the Jiangnan army ordered Minzhuang to continue to put firewood into the fire, and at the same time let Minzhuang transport half-dry and half-wet firewood and grass into the fire.
Urged by the wind, for a while, the smoke billowed under the city wall, choking the city wall and not daring to open their eyes, and the Goguryeo soldiers in the city could still take care of archery.
Yuangai Suwen took a look, it's not good, this is a fire attack.
Yuangai Suwen hurriedly asked the soldiers to carry water and extinguish the firewood.
Yuan Gai Suwen's idea is good, but the Jiangnan army is not afraid at all, Zhang Yu means to smoke the soldiers on the city wall, and he is not afraid to pour some water, how much water can the soldiers use a basin? I'm afraid it will only make the smoke thicker.
The thick smoke choked people in the city at all, and they retreated one after another, and even Yuan Gai Suwen didn't know where to run.
The next step was easy, the Jiangnan army continued to let people throw firewood and grass down, continue to expand the force and range of smoke, and on the other hand, continue to let people bulldoze the earth, so that the ramp extended forward until it stopped within ten steps of the city.
A large amount of firewood and grass was thrown down, which was also mixed with all kinds of feces and garbage, and the firewood and grass piled up higher and higher, and the smoke covered the city, and the billowing smoke was sealed and blown into the city.
For a while, thick smoke billowed and enveloped the entire Goguryeo royal city, and there were no people standing on the city walls at all, and there were all kinds of unpleasant smells in the smoke that made it difficult to breathe.
The city of Goguryeo has been shrouded in thick smoke, and the Jiangnan army has almost taken this move, and it is estimated that there is no one near the city wall.
Then, the Jiangnan Army ordered the auxiliary army to tie the prepared grass balls with grass and rattan ropes on the high slope, and the people at both ends dragged them, and when they were ignited, they were violently dragged into the city.
Fireballs were constantly being thrown into the city, hundreds or thousands, no one counted, anyway, these fireballs were meant to cause the houses in the city to ignite.
Sure enough, after a while, the houses in the city were set on fire, and the fire quickly spread.
The houses in the city are connected to the houses, and they are all private housing areas, which are basically wooden structures, and the wind helps the fire, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it spreads throughout the northern city.
The people in the city are fighting fires, how can this kind of fire be extinguished in a short time?
Moreover, fireballs were constantly being thrown into the city from outside the city, which contributed to the spread of the fire.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Goguryeo people in the city were all going to fight the fire and not taking care of the outside of the city, the Jiangnan army immediately ordered those young and strong people to quickly fill in the soil, and the soil platform continued to advance.
The Jiangnan army used this stupid method to get the earth platform close to the city wall little by little, the fire was filled, the smoke on the city wall was billowing, and the Goguryeo soldiers could not stand on the city wall at all.
As a result, there was not even a single soldier defending the northern city wall of Goguryeo, and the Jiangnan army simply made Goguryeo's defense a waste.
The rest of the distance was not filled in the soil, and the Jiangnan army had people carry it over and put it on the city wall with a long board tied into trees, and the auxiliary army rushed up the city wall along the long board.
Aren't the auxiliaries afraid of smoke?
It doesn't matter, everyone covers their mouth and nose with strips of damp cloth wrapped around their faces, so as not to hinder breathing.
The northern city of the Goguryeo royal city was broken, and tens of thousands of auxiliary troops rushed into the royal city, and there must have been a madness raging, and these auxiliary troops were full of bestiality.
The auxiliary army rushed into the city and seized the north gate, and a large number of auxiliary troops swarmed in from the city gate.
The city was in flames, the heat was rolling, there were almost no people here, and a small number of Goguryeo people fled in all directions as soon as the city gate was broken.
The auxiliaries did not advance blindly, but progressed inward along the streets in a step-by-step manner, lighting fires when they saw houses, allowing the fire to spread from the north gate.
This is what kills people, and the wind fuels the fire to turn the city from north to south into a sea of fire, which burns more and more fiercely.
The auxiliary army was not impatient, set fire to play, and slowly advanced inside.
In fact, there was no hurry, the fire was burning violently, the heat was so high that it was difficult for people to get close at all, and they could only continue to move forward when the houses in and out were almost burning.
Nima, isn't this all the people in Goguryeo City roasted into jerky?
Yes, the purpose of the Jiangnan army was to let the fire engulf the city, and the houses were set on fire one by one from north to south, who made the Goguryeo people like to build houses out of wood?
Except for the leader who led the auxiliary army, the Jiangnan army basically did not enter the city, and all the auxiliary troops took on this role, and these beastly auxiliary troops would not have the slightest mercy.
Even, they can't forget the entertainment while lighting the fire, and the competition is to see who lights the most fire. There are also people who bet that they will walk through the flames and set fire to the houses in the distance.
Although the fire had not yet reached the palace, almost all of them, whether it was King Gao Jianwu of Rongliu or important ministers such as Yuangai Suwen, were desperate, and the royal city of Goguryeo would soon be engulfed in flames.
Even Yuangai Suwen, who was experienced in the battlefield, did not expect that their opponent would be so vicious and use this method against them.
This is to exterminate my Goguryeo, whether it is the army or the royal family, they are all human beings, and no one is capable of surviving in such a fire.
Nearly half of the city was burned down, and in desperation, Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, decided to abandon the city and break through.
I don't know if I can break through or not, but it's much better than staying here and being burned to death by fire. So, Yuangai Suwen led an army to protect the royal family, and they opened the west gate to break through from here.
Don't you know that the Jiangnan army has long known that they will break through, and the army outside has long been on guard and waiting for them outside the city.
How many troops are there outside the city now, it turns out that there are more than 100,000 troops here, plus the troops led by Zhang Yu who withdrew from the back, not counting the Jiangnan Army, there are 60,000 auxiliary troops alone, and there are not many reinforcements from the south, there are more than 200,000 troops here.
The Jiangnan army didn't even feel that it was necessary to make a move, and it was all the auxiliary army that took on the heavy task of interception. (To be continued.) )
