Chapter 221 Jinquan Pass

The capital of Baekje established by Xiongjin Zhen Xuan is also the capital of the old Baekje Kingdom, but Xiongjin, which is not large, has 70,000 households and 370,000 people.

Because it has been the national capital since ancient times, it was also an important city in the northern part of Korea when the Korean Peninsula was connected. But now that tranquility has changed in February, with a massive influx of refugees from Hanyang City. Soon the government requisitioned the people to build the city wall, and the city wall that was already five zhang high was built from February to the current five zhang and six feet, and the moat outside the city was also dug from the original six zhang wide to ten zhang wide, and I don't know how many people were similar during this time.

But all the generals and civil officials ignored the sacrifices of the people, they only knew that the dirt mountain outside Hanyang Fortress was about to be built, and they even had a hunch that Xiongjin would soon become the last line of defense in Baekje. Although Hanyang Castle is far from Woongjin, in terms of the length of Baekje Country, walking from Hanyang to Womjin is equivalent to walking half of Baekje Country. It takes at least five days for the army to walk, even if it is unhindered.

But in fact, it is not such a simple calculation, war is about courage, often a periphery of the fortified city is breached, and the enemy's subsequent attack will be overwhelming. Because that fortified city usually concentrates most of the country's most elite soldiers and horses, and the city is also one of the strongest in the country. In such a situation, they are all attacked, and everyone else will naturally think: If you stand in front of the enemy, can you hold it? The answer is naturally one word – no!

Soldiers and city lords rarely think about how many days they can hold out if they defend this place, and how much time they can buy for the country. They don't have such noble devotion unless the enemy attacks the capital. Because the capital is the most concentrated presence of the ruling class in that country, they enjoy the highest treatment in the country, they enjoy the supply of the whole country, and they control the greatest interests of the whole country, and these interests are so important that they can give them a go.

Facts proved that Ah Cilong's choice was correct, and soon he received an urgent report that the west gate of Hanyang City had been breached. Ashlong knew that his time was running out.

"How far is Xiongjin City after breaking through Jinquan Pass?" Yang Shihou squinted his eyes and asked.

"It's not a long way to get to Geumgang after passing through Gimcheon Pass, and you can see Xiongjin Castle along the Geumjin River south, but it's ......," said Kim Riji, the commander of the Silla Army, shook his head, "With the current strength, it is difficult to break through this pass." ”

"Send the broken army to attack!" Yang Shihou didn't pay attention to Jin Lizhi's slightly strange expression.

Soon, a thousand soldiers of the broken army came to Yang Shihou in armor. Jin Lizhi looked at the steel army in front of Yang Shihou with his eyes exposed, and couldn't help but gasp slightly.

Since he and Yang Shihou formed the Tang Dynasty and Silla Coalition Army to assist in the northeast of Baekje Kingdom, he had never seen this army, which was really surprising. Jin Lizhi's eyes when he looked at Yang Shihou couldn't help but change, and he was a little afraid.

"Do you know what's up ahead?" Yang Shihou held the Tang knife on his waist with his left hand, pointed at Jinquan Pass with his right hand, and asked with a pale face.

But the Iron Soldiers didn't know whether they didn't know, or didn't want to answer, they replied with silence.

But Yang Shihou did not feel a trace of embarrassment, but nodded with some appreciation, and said: "Jinquan Pass, our Tang Silla coalition army has attacked the pass that has not been captured for two months. Conquering them is like the Mo Dao Army of the Tang Dynasty, attacking the stone fort of Tubo! Conquer this unattainable pass in the eyes of others! Offensive! ”

"Breaking the army is !!" Breaking the military envoy, Xun Qianyong raised the Mo knife in his hand and roared.

"Onward! Go ahead! "The soldiers of the Broken Army raised the weapons in their hands, or Mo knives or big axes, and the roar was not very loud, but it was full of murderous atmosphere.

"Crossbowmen carry out a cover strike to suppress the enemy's counterattack!" Looking at the broken army capital that was marching forward, a smug smile appeared at the corner of Yang Shihou's mouth, and then he commanded with a solemn face.

3,000 Goguryeo soldiers equipped with the Tang Dynasty's crossbows and 2,000 longbowmen of the loyal and filial piety army were out of the ranks, although Jinquan Pass was condescending, but their weapons were not comparable with the weapons of the Tang Dynasty. It's like the United States and Iraq during the Iraq War. Although the two sides are also tanks, the shells fired by Iraqi tanks will only hit the American tanks once, and then they will jump away, and the external armor will not be broken, and there may be nothing. However, the shells fired by the United States can penetrate two Iraqi tanks in a row, and this is the gap.

Lu Longjun's crossbowmen relied on their ultra-long-range strike power to suppress the Jinquanguan crossbowmen to death, of course, this suppression was just to suppress the opponent's bow and arrow counterattack to a certain extent.

Soon they came to the bottom of the city wall, and the ladders were set up at the battlements of the city wall, and the strong hooks were rigidly attached to the edge of the city wall, so that the Baekje soldiers were helpless even if they wanted to push the other party's ladders.

"Samuki! Stones! "The Baekje Buyeo language rose on the city wall, and I don't know how many pieces of wood and stones, I saw a soldier throwing down the pieces of wood that were more than a foot long, full of iron nails, and pieces of angular stones.

One after another soldiers were smashed down, and Jin Lizhi, who was outside the battlefield, couldn't help but squint his eyes, he really hurt for Master Yang! What kind of army is this? This is all an army piled up with money, and it is actually wasted in siege warfare, so he can't help but feel pity.

But soon, Jin Lizhi's eyes widened in surprise, his mouth was wide open to swallow an ostrich egg, and he saw the soldiers who were smashed down to stand up basically as if nothing happened, they seemed to be roaring and raised their arms high, and immediately climbed up the ladder.

In the face of this kind of army that seems to be unkillable, not only Kim Rizhi discovered it, but also the Baekje army on the Gimcheon Pass. They weren't afraid to fight, but they were afraid to fight monsters that didn't seem to die. The morale of the Baekje army began to waver, and soon, a soldier of the broken army climbed the city wall, only to see that the Mo knife in his hand was swept away, and five or six Baekje soldiers were beheaded.

The two Baekje soldiers roared in anger and rushed forward with their spears, but the soldiers of the Broken Army were only one chest, and the two spears slid towards the sides with the smooth plate armor surface. The soldiers of the Broken Army rushed and knocked the two Baekje soldiers into the mouth and vomited blood, and they did not know how serious their internal injuries were.

There was a breakthrough, Lu Longjun's offensive was even more fierce, and it only took half an hour for Jin Lizhi's stunned face to be one of the best passes in the world in his heart, and Jinquan Pass was breached.
