Rumble!
Stones shot from inside Pyongyang slammed into the Silla infantry phalanx, setting off a cloud of blood.
The moats under the city of Pyongyang, the low walls, and the barricades of corpses.
The black-pressed Silla soldiers lined up in dozens of infantry phalanxes, crossed the gap in the attack, and rushed towards the Goguryeo soldiers under the city.
The sound of crossbow machines and bowstrings crumbling resounded again. The condescending Goguryeo people stationed at the head of Pyongyang unleashed bows and arrows at the Silla soldiers.
The herald cavalry with feathers galloped back and forth in the rear, shouting orders to the Silla army resting in the rear, and marched into the battlefield in formation.
The battlefield is like a big meat grinder, devouring countless fresh flesh and blood, and only the Silla soldiers who enter are seen, and no one comes back alive.
Guarded by several armless archers, a blue bird flag stood tall.
Under the banner, Bi Tan Tie stood under the city with a blue face, pacing back and forth, he looked at the city from time to time, and then looked at the Silla soldiers who rushed after him, and kept gritting his teeth.
The clamor of the attack grew louder and louder, and the newly joined soldiers of the Silla army bravely attacked the Goguryeo army's position again.
The long-awaited Vi Tan looked at it for a long time, but his expression became lighter and colder. The famous Silla general on the side, Yan Chuan, closed his eyes.
"Stop, I can't fight anymore."
Bi Tan looked at Yan Chuan and said fiercely: "No, you must rush over for me, and you must see the results of the battle before sunset today." ”
Yan Chuan shook his head and said, "You are using flesh and blood to fill it, and the battle has not been fought like this." ”
"And how are you going to fight?"
"Etozhi Wende is really good at defending, and hard attack is not the way. Unless the Silla people are lured out of the city and let them have ballistas on the city's heads. Rubble doesn't work. ”
"Nonsense, Yizhi Wende is not a child, how could he be tricked?"
Yan Chuan showed a desperate look and said: "With Eulji Wendeok, we can't capture Pyongyang." Take advantage of the retreat now, otherwise it will be terrible for Etozhi Wende to counterattack. ”
"You." Vitan's face flushed.
At this time, there was a lot of noise ahead, and Bi Tan, Yan Chuan looked at it in surprise, they didn't expect it. The battle line of the Silla army collapsed so quickly, and the Silla soldiers retreated from under the city of Pyongyang like a tide, and there was a scene of losing their armor and abandoning their armor.
Behind them, the Goguryeo soldiers began to pursue, covering up the Silla army.
"Hold, hold, don't retreat!" Vitan stood in front and shouted.
But by this time the panic had spread throughout the army. The troops ahead were defeated. Although there was still a fresh force around Vitan, they were sent to support, and they were immediately scattered by the defeated and retreating soldiers. No one in the Silla army listened to his orders, and the soldiers scrambled to retreat, and the Goguryeo people came behind with swords.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the flanks, and large groups of red armored cavalry appeared from the flanks.
Yan Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhao Jun is out!" Our army is saved. ”
After the appearance of the Red Armored Cavalry on this road. Immediately the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops was heard in the city of Pyongyang.
"This cunning Eulji Wende," Yan Chuan scolded, "if you go to the plains, the Goguryeo people are in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the cavalry of the Zhao army, and he is so steady." Don't even take that risk. ”
That night, the two returned to the Zhao army camp in disgrace. The two of them were ashamed when they saw Li Chongjiu.
Li Chongjiu gently comforted the two: "The two of you have done your best today. The courage and tenacity of the Silla army, I have already seen it, tomorrow you have a good rest, and our army will break the city! ”
When dawn came the next day, the two of them led the Silla men and horses of the headquarters of Silla and stationed them on the mountain to rest.
The water flowed quietly, and when the majestic drums rumbled outside the city, Eulji Mundeok and other Goguryeo generals poured into the head of Pyongyang.
Yesterday, Ulji Wende was not too happy about repelling the offensive of the Silla army, because he knew that the elite of the Zhao army had not returned the horse, and judging from his many years of experience in the army, the Silla Zhao coalition army outside the city would not exceed 50,000, and the naval army that was not good at 6 battles should be added. The Zhao army really brought the men and horses of the 6 battles, about 20,000 people.
But even if there are only 20,000 people, Yizhi Wende knows that his opponent is the Zhao army that has swept Hebei, Saiwai, and Liaodong!
And today, Eulji Wendeok and the Goguryeo generals finally saw the true power of this military power in the Central Plains.
In front of the Zhao army's formation are ten nest cars, the nest cars are as high as three zhang, and the nest can accommodate more than a dozen soldiers, except for five or six crossbowmen with strong crossbows standing, the rest of the people are carrying small flags on their backs, I don't know what they are used for. The nest car is tightly wrapped in thick cowhide on all sides, and the bottom is framed horizontally with giant wood from different angles, which is very stable.
And behind the nest car, there was an endless phalanx of infantry of the Zhao army.
When Eulji Wende saw this scene, he immediately ordered all the Goguryeo soldiers under the city to enter the city and guard the city.
This decision is undoubtedly very correct.
Because behind the nest car, there are hundreds of stone throwers of the Zhao army, and without the shelter of the city wall, the stone throwers are the nightmare of the infantry phalanx. What's more, this is still hundreds of stone throwers, if it were not for the Zhao army fleet to transport the stone throwers with a large ship, these 100 stone throwers would be enough for the siege troops to build for a month.
At that time, under the city of Liaodong, because of the rugged mountain roads, the stone throwers in the rear and the bed crossbows could not be transported, and the 300,000 Sui army did not have large stone throwers to attack the city, so they could only fill it with human lives.
But now the Zhao army under the city showed such a scene to the Goguryeo people, and what made Eulji Wende very strange was that there were buckets of things like oil drums next to the stone thrower. Eulji Wende wondered, did Zhao Jun want to load oil cans into stone throwers to burn Pyongyang City? But with such a small oil drum, no matter how much it helps, ten times is not enough to burn the city of Pyongyang.
Etozhi Wende shook his head. As the infantry phalanx of the Zhao army advanced, there were fifty barberry crossbows in the rear.
The Barberry crossbow is the highest technology of Zhao Jun's bed crossbow, and it has never shown its true power on the battlefield except for killing Xu Yuanlang. Eulzhi Wende at the head of the city saw that Zhao Jun's bed crossbow couldn't help but change color, the bed crossbow making process was complicated, and with Goguryeo's national and material resources, as well as the mountainous terrain, the process of building bed crossbows has been very backward.
But after Yizhi Wende saw Zhao Jun carrying out so many crossbows, his color suddenly changed.
Looking at the nest carts, stone throwers, bed crossbows, and Zhao soldiers who accompanied the siege weapons to advance under the city, these elite soldiers from the land of Yan and Zhao looked at the head of Pyongyang City, and their faces were full of eagerness to try, eager to show their skills. These Zhao soldiers were armed to the teeth, and their whole body was covered with armor, and the bows and arrows of Goguryeo soldiers could not penetrate this kind of strong armor at all.
Looking at these Yizhi Wende, he finally understood why the Zhao army was able to sweep the world so far, and the Zhao army relied on the four words of strong armor and sharp soldiers.
With such a strong division, it is no wonder that the emperor of Zhao was so confident and crossed thousands of miles to attack the city of Pyongyang.
