Chapter 199: The Flying Tang Banner
Chapter 199 The Flying Tang Banner
Xingyuan Mansion, which is now Hanzhong City, is in the hands of Li Maozhen, and if Li Maozhen has a granary. And there is also a passage into Nishikawa. In the north, Li Maozhen has the Fengxiang Mansion with strong folk customs, although the land is poor, but there is a grain supply in Hanzhong, which undoubtedly makes Li Maozhen complementary. Now in the hands of Li Maozhen, there are a total of two prefectures and six states, and the power should not be underestimated, otherwise Zhu Wen would not compromise with Li Maozhen.
But even so, Li Maozhen didn't dare to provoke Zhu Wen anymore, as soon as he was beaten hard by Zhu Wen, he suffered a big loss, and it is estimated that he will not be able to do so in a short time. Second, he didn't have the courage to make trouble with Zhu Wen, after all, he had just suffered a loss in the hands of Zhu Wen, and no one would believe it if he didn't have heart palpitations. In other words, Zhu Wen's situation in Guanzhong has stabilized.
He can free up his hands to deal with Wang Ke, the envoy of the river festival, that is, Li Ke's son-in-law. The situation is very unfavorable for Li Keyong, and Li Cunhuan can't help but be in a hurry. It's not that Li Cunhuan cares about Li Keyong. It's Li Ke who clicks, so he, Li Cunhuan, is the second person Zhu Wen is targeting. Not to mention anything else, Zhu Wen can crush himself by relying on his strong military strength and economy, this is not a strategy that can be changed, so Li Cunhuan must have a stable rear, free up his hands to drink Li Ke to deal with Zhu Wen, and the occupation of Goguryeo has reached an urgent time.
On December 23, after a long march, it finally ended outside the city of Pyongyang. Although the short journey of 100 miles consumed six days of Lu Longjun's time. But Li Cunhuan felt that it was not wasted, and in the heavy snow, the range of exploration horses on the Goguryeo border was shortened to a very small range. At the same time, because the heavy snow makes the roads difficult, many small border castles have already stocked up on food for several months for the winter, and they are also temporarily isolated from the outside world. This made Li Cunhuan calmly send elite soldiers and horses to raid these soldiers who hid inside to rest because of the cold at night.
What's more, because of the supplies that have been prepared before, there will be no heavy soldiers to transport supplies in the future, and there is no fear of being discovered, and the small fortresses in these realms have already been uprooted by Lu Longjun.
Looking at Pyongyang City, which was still ignorant in the distance, Li Cunhuan resisted the urge to laugh, and with a wave of his hand, countless soldiers were useful, and the smooth iron armor was so bright and palpitating under the morning light. I don't know how many flags fluttered in the wind, and the tallest and largest flag appeared in the eyes of the people of Pyongyang with a gesture of the return of the king.
The Tang character banner has disappeared from Pyongyang for many years, and the flag appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, as if looking up to the sky and roaring: The lion of the Tang Dynasty has returned! Eat mine, spit it out for me! Take mine, send me back!
"Oh my God! How did the army of the Tang Dynasty ...... It's Lu Longjiedu's envoy Li Cunhuan! The block sent someone to inform the king that Li Cunhuan had stabbed us in the back! The lord of Pyongyang grabbed his henchmen in horror and quickly commanded.
"Yes!" Although that henchman is frightened, he can be a henchman, and he has some skills.
"The army presses down! Get ready for the siege! Li Cunhuan Shi Ran waved his hand and said.
"General, don't you need to make siege equipment?" Sha Que asked, surprised.
"I've already brought it! Feng Baodu, you go and give General Zhou Dewei an order and ask him to pull that weapon over! Li Cunhuan said with a hint of excitement. At the beginning, the weapon was underestimated, and it is only now that it has been really made. It seems that in the future, we must listen to the words of those craftsmen when doing things, otherwise all the weapons made will not fail because of the rush. Fortunately, I didn't find out until I was pulled into the battlefield, otherwise there would have been a lot of death.
"What are you doing! Hurry up and let people prepare boiling oil, sandalwood, pao stone, ash bottles, and gold juice! The lord of Pyongyang immediately ordered the stunned generals beside him.
"Yes!" The generals hurriedly moved, and the soldiers carried the walls of the city with an altar of asphalt and fire oil mixed with sulfur, a piece of wood with iron nails, a piece of uneven stone, an ash bottle of inferior pottery filled with lime, charcoal, iron pots, and dung carried out of the latrine.
Some people may not understand, why feces? In fact, the gold juice mentioned by the castle lord is to use feces as the main raw material, and it is also the name of liquid metal, but there is no such guard as to be extravagant enough to kill people with liquid metal, and in terms of efficiency, it is not practical.
Put the feces in an iron pot and add water to boil, and then add the poison wolf venom, arsenic, and rust, and the skin will instantly ulcerate when it touches the gold juice, and because of the addition of rust, it is easy to tetanus, and because of wolf venom and arsenic, if the hand is burned, the hand is also wasted. Therefore, gold juice is the first weapon to defend the city.
However, today Li Cunhuan is not ready to play siege warfare with the Goguryeo native soldiers, he wants to capture this Pyongyang city that has existed since ancient times with an attack that no one in this era can think of.
"Is Dewei Chow ready?" Li Cunhuan squinted his eyes and looked at the city of Pyongyang not far away.
"It's ready, just wait for your order, General!" Sha Yuke, who was on the side, said in a deep voice.
"Good! Drum Attack! Don't ......" Li Cunhuan suddenly stopped the soldiers who were about to beat the drums, turned over and dismounted, stepped onto the huge chariot loaded with drums, and said: "I will personally beat the drums to shake the military might!" ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" A drum sound that lifted the morale of the army sounded, Zhou Dewei naturally looked up at the center of his battle array, and suddenly his face froze, and then he understood Li Cunhuan's intentions.
Zhou Dewei jumped to the front of the battle array, raised the horse lance in his hand, pointed to the center of the battle array, and shouted: "Gentlemen! The general personally beat the drums for us and watched us attack! Wait a minute! ”
The soldier was still a little unconvinced, but when he turned his head, he immediately saw that Li Cunhuan had taken off his battle robe, ** arms, and two huge drumsticks in his hands, waving vigorously.
"We can only repay the general with victory!" Zhou Dewei raised his horse lance and roared up to the sky.
"Desperately repay Jun's kindness!" The soldiers let out an even louder roar, crashing into Pyongyang City like a huge wave, and the Goguryeo native soldiers on the walls of Pyongyang City involuntarily turned pale. Like the little grass trembling and shaking in the blizzard, I don't know when it will be buried by the heavy snow.
"The Divine Machine Battalion is attacking!" The horse lance in Zhou Dewei's hand was raised to the top and swung down suddenly. Five siege engines set off slowly but vigorously towards the gates of Pyongyang City. Pull out white marks on the frozen and stiff earth.
