975, carpet bombing (II)
"Boom—"
Flying thunder cannons bombarded the city again, and many houses were blown up directly into the sky. The vast majority of houses in ancient times were made of wood, while cement houses are not yet in fashion. Although Jingwen invented cement, cement is now used to pave roads, and has not been used to make houses. Therefore, wooden houses, not to mention in Goguryeo, even the Tang Dynasty are the mainstream building materials. The wooden houses are very unsturdy, and they can easily be blown up, and now the houses that have been blown up have been overturned.
"Sub-Wipe ......"
Suddenly there was a burst of smoke in the city, and then suddenly the inside of the Goguryeo city of Pyongyang began to catch fire. Because wooden houses are made of wood, wood is a combustible. As for the flying thunder cannons just now, they are explosives, although explosives generally do not cause combustion. However, there were still a lot of combustible things in the wooden houses, and the washing things ignited the damaged building materials, and then the building materials were burned. After that, the flames became less and larger, and finally gradually began to spread.
"Fight the fire! Fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! "Hurry up and put out the fire, don't let them spread!" "Put out the fire, and the whole city will burn when the time comes!" ……
The people of Goguryeo began to want to rescue and extinguish the fire, and this was already heard by people outside the city.
"What are they talking about?" Jingwen asked.
"They shouted to put out the fire!" A staff officer who knew the Goguryeo language said.
Jingwen immediately shouted: "God help me, keep fighting, don't be polite." Burn them as hard as possible, and you're welcome. Now, while he is sick, we will not only fire artillery to interfere with their firefighting, but also exhaust them from running for their lives. As the fire grows bigger and bigger, they will only be forced to surrender! ”
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
The cannons were fired again into the city of Pyongyang, only to explode again. The explosion not only killed many Goguryeo people who wanted to put out the fire, but also caused a new burning point. In this way, the fire that the Goguryeo people had just extinguished was burned again.
"Lord Yang, our enemy's cannon is too powerful, we can't save the fire!" "Yuangai Suwen, hurry up and put out the fire! If we let it burn like this, then we are afraid that the entire city of Pyongyang will be destroyed! ”……
Yuan Gai Suwen and Yang Wanchun, who were in charge of the city defense work, both showed helplessness, and the Tang army was just setting fire to prevent you from fighting the fire. People are like that, what can you do. If you want to put out a fire, then they deliberately set off a cannon to stop it, which not only can not effectively put out the fire. On the contrary, it burned bigger and bigger, and finally it could not be cleaned up.
"Yang Wanchun, let's break through, right?" A Goguryeo general asked.
"If you want to break through, then you can try it!" Yang Wanchun said angrily.
Soon, there was a team of hundreds of people who wanted to open the city gate to break through, and there were quite a few people following behind. But as soon as they opened the gates, they were under heavy bombardment from the general's artillery.
"Bang ......"
Shotguns were fired, and the gates had been covered. Those who crowded the gates were also killed by the shotguns, and the roads were blocked by the shotguns. And Yang Wanchun, who was in the distance, watched this scene. A sneer appeared in his mouth. He had long known that the Tang Army would not let them break through so easily. So at this time, when I ran to break through, I was looking for death. If it was really so easy to break through, then Yang Wanchun would have broken through a long time ago. It is because he has dealt with Jingwen a few times. He already knew how powerful the Tang Army was, and he didn't want to think about breaking through. And Yuangai Suwen didn't choose to break through, because he knew that the Tang army could completely seal the city gate.
"Brother Yang, it's time for us all. Let's stop arguing just yet. What exactly does Tang Jun want to do? Didn't they have a kind of shell that could break the gates of the city at once? Why didn't they break down the gates, and slowly bombard us with these shells? Yuangai Suwen asked.
Yuangai Suwen refers to the kind of solid iron bullet. It's the kind of person who can break down the gates. And if the Tang army directly broke through the city gate and rushed in through the city gate, it would be completely possible to send a large number of troops to attack at one time. However, Datang has not taken the initiative to use it yet, and only uses shotguns to launch. This kind of shotgun is not powerful enough to break through the city gates, so what is the purpose of the Tang Army?
"Their meaning is simple, they want to trap us in the city, so that we can't stand to surrender in the end. You see the current fire, they also deliberately set our city on fire, so that we were also burned to the ground. When the time comes, we will inevitably surrender, so they are not in a hurry. You see, they're blocking our way out, and we'll only be able to die in it. Either we are burned to death, or we surrender voluntarily, then we have no other way to go. Yang Wanchun said.
"What a ruthless method! This is going to kill us! How did we meet the Tang Army, and we didn't use the same kind of methods in the past? Yuangai Suwen also complained.
Yuangai Suwen was extremely aggrieved, if the Tang army still had the same combat methods as the Sui Dynasty army in the past, then they could easily defend. But now the Tang Army actually doesn't play with them the same methods as in the past, but all kinds of new weapons and new tactics emerge one after another, so that all kinds of methods are not used. Their methods are all used to defend against cold weapon troops, but now people are playing hot weapons with him, so it is a tragedy. Their methods are under the attack of hot weapons, and they are not of any use at all, they are all like paper paste. The city walls can't withstand the enemy's artillery bombardment, and people won't fight with you fairly, but just hit them inside from the outside of the city walls, and they will be killed with money anyway.
Originally, Yuan Gai Suwen and Yang Wanchun, the two difficult brothers, still wanted to show their skills and fight for political capital for themselves! But now that people are not singing the same drama with you at all, and people don't play with you directly, what can you do? None of their methods are used, and they directly use their strong strength to slowly push you. This method of fighting is too shameless, and any strategy is useless, anyway, it is to use strength to trample you to death. This made them feel that their schemes were useless, under the attack of other people's absolute strength, and Jingwen would not play any tricks, and directly crushed them with artillery, they couldn't catch the loophole at all. The last time I dug the tunnel, it was all plotted against it. Their tactics were ineffective, and they were all "digested" by various staff officers.
Therefore, Yuangai Suwen and Yang Wanchun are also sighing here, there is no way. (To be continued......)
