939, Duel Yuan Gai Suwen (3)
Yuangai Suwen is also preparing to officially attack the city, because Yuangai Suwen doesn't have much time now, so he must quickly conquer Anshi. If you wait for the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty army to come, it will really not be fun. Therefore, Yuangai Suwen must also try his best to capture the city, so that it can be inserted into the rear of the Tang army like a wedge, so that the Tang army will not be able to attack. So he immediately ordered 10,000 troops, and then began to charge with a ladder. The charge was only a tentative attack, so it wasn't violent.
"Hmph, this time I can rely on 10,000 troops to conquer Anshi, and I, Yang Wanchun, will have your surname!" Yang Wanchun looked at the 10,000 troops in front of him with disdain, he thought that if he could rely on these 10,000 troops to conquer Anshi, which had just been captured from his hands, it would be impossible.
After all, Yang Wanchun is very confident in his defensive ability, but now the city he is defending has been conquered in less than a day, so the enemy is not a soft persimmon. This also made him very wary in his heart, he knew that the enemy was not something to mess with. As for him deliberately not telling Yuan Gai Suwen, he just wanted to see Yuan Gai Suwen's gray face. And Yang Wanchun also knew that even if he made an idea here, Yuangai Suwen would not listen to him, the general of the defeated army, so he wanted to gain the corresponding respect, that is, after Yuangai Suwen's same failure, Yang Wanchun would be able to gain Yuangai Suwen's respect again.
I have to say that this kind of thinking is very perverted, many generals don't look down on the generals of the defeated army at all, and they think that the enemy is also very weak. And no matter what the generals of the defeated army say, no matter how they say that the enemy is strong, those generals who have not experienced it will also look down on him, thinking that they are incompetent, so they have failed. And at this time, those generals who lost the battle can't say anything, after all, who let themselves fail? And it's not that they don't want to come up with ideas at this time to avoid the failure of their colleagues. But people didn't like his idea. Because they lost the battle. At this time, those generals who failed first will also hope that those later colleagues will also fail, and only after defeat, after also becoming the generals of the defeated army, will they respect those generals who have failed. This kind of thinking can't be said, otherwise it is to curse his colleagues for failure, which is probably very offensive.
"Jieshuai, this time the Goguryeo people sent 10,000 people to attack, so what should we do?" Lin Fei asked.
Jingwen spread his hands and said, "What else can I do?" The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth! 10,000 people. If we really want to let go of the firepower to fight, it is not enough for us to stuff our teeth! ”
What Jingwen said was indeed true, because there was a regiment of artillery here, with forty or fifty guns. If every cannon uses shotguns, then 10,000 people are really not enough to stuff their teeth! The current Datang Dynasty, in terms of artillery, can be said to have been crooked, directly from the original bamboo cannon to the point of Napoleonic cannon in later generations. Although it was not as good as the Napoleonic cannon in all respects, at least the principle was sufficient. Next, as long as you slowly improve it, you don't need too much to do.
So the Tang Dynasty was the first in terms of artillery. Almost all of them are already the standard more than a thousand years later. So these cannons bombarded hard, and these Goguryeo people were not enough to see. Even if a few fish slip through the net, you can use a grenade to kill them. Even if they took 10,000 steps back, even if they could have one or two fish that slipped through the net and climbed to the top of the city wall. Then there are still thousands of Tang Jun sharpening their knives waiting for them, and when the time comes, we will have to see, can they be one of them alone? So these ten thousand enemies Jingwen didn't pay attention to it at all, these guys said it in one sentence. It's just a local chicken and a dog.
"Don't fire the cannon yet, just throw a grenade when they get close, let's play with Yuangai Suwen!" If you scare them back all at once. Then we don't have to completely annihilate this group of Goguryeo people. Jingwen said.
Jingwen's goal was to completely annihilate this 100,000-strong army of Goguryeo, after all, such an opportunity to completely annihilate them was not easy. If they expose their firepower too early, and scare the guys away, they'll be completely devastated. Now Gyeongwen's purpose is to kill and injure a large number of their Goguryeo forces, so that they can not have so many troops to defend the capital Pyongyang. The population of Goguryeo was only about one-sixth of that of the Tang Dynasty, and the number of troops that could be mobilized was even less. And Datang also wants to use the superiority of troops and weapons to strike at the enemy's manpower advantage, so that it can be regarded as attacking the enemy's shortcomings with its own strengths.
These 100,000 Goguryeo soldiers are a fat big fish in Jingwen's eyes, and now Jingwen is also going fishing. Anyone who has ever played fishing knows that you can't use too much force all at once, otherwise those fish will probably get off the hook. If these Goguryeo people are beaten too hard at once, then they will immediately run back to Pyongyang and then stick to Pyongyang, which may increase the pressure on Pyongyang to attack Pyongyang at that time.
As for that Yang Wanchun who has seen this kind of shotgun, this problem should not be hit. Yang Wanchun couldn't really know the power of the shotgun, and Jingwen also thought that Yang Wanchun would not be valued by that Yuan Gai Suwen, after all, he was also a general of the defeated army, and his construction would not be taken seriously. This situation is actually common all over the world, not only in Goguryeo, but even in the Tang Dynasty and later countries, discriminating against those defeated generals. So before Yuangai Suwen suffered a big loss, he would not pay attention to Yang Wanchun's construction. But because of this situation, Yuangai Suwen will definitely suffer a big loss, this one is actually human nature, and he will not turn back if he does not hit the south wall.
"Crossbowmen, get me ready to shoot arrows!" Dugu Mou shouted.
A group of crossbowmen soon came to the top of the tower, drew their bows and arrows, and prepared to aim at the charging Goguryeo soldiers. According to the method of defending the city, it is generally necessary to shoot once with a bow and crossbow first, so Jingwen also defends the city according to this law, but the real difference is actually in the back.
"Shoot the arrows!" Dugu Mou shouted.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
More than a thousand arrows were fired, and then rushed towards the Goguryeo. Goguryeo lost dozens of people at once, but such a small loss was not very large for an enemy of 10,000 people, and the rest of the Goguryeo people were still charging. (To be continued......)
