"Your Majesty, are we going to attack Wen or Wu Wei next?" Jingwen asked.

"What kind of civil attack and martial guard?" Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen explained: "The cultural offensive was to use various means to force Goguryeo to surrender. Since the current popular support of Goguryeo has almost been lost, it is not impossible for us to force them to surrender through guò enormous pressure. As for Wuwei, that is, we took the initiative to send troops to attack. The advantage of the cultural attack is that it can reduce the casualties of the soldiers, but the cost and price are not small, and the losses in the Goguryeo city will be not small. And we take the initiative to attack, so that we will lose some or less, after all, soldiers' lives are also cherished. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Life is priceless, you first talk about how to attack the law well, if you can surrender the army without a fight, that is the best policy." ”

"The emperor is merciful! The so-called cultural offensive, I plan to use our artillery superiority to carry out carpet bombing of the city of Pyongyang in Goguryeo, so that we can force them to surrender! Jingwen said.

"Carpet bombing?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

Jingwen continued: "Your Majesty, you see, this is the length and width of Pyongyang City, the capital of Goguryeo. Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, also has another nickname, which is called Chang'an. Although their Chang'an is also called Chang'an, it is far from Chang'an, the capital of our Tang Dynasty. And the length of Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, is only about 30 zhang, and if you use the calculation method of our artillery, it is 1,000 meters. And their width is only about 20 zhang, and with artillery calculations it is only more than 600 meters. ”

"With such a small city, I thought of a way to use artillery to bombard indiscriminately, so that we could force them to surrender!" Jingwen said.

Jing Wen then pointed out how to carry out indiscriminate bombardment, that is, to use the Tang army's artillery range advantage to attack. First of all, the effective range of the flying thunder cannon is about 400 meters, and Datang can advance the flying thunder cannon to a distance of 100 meters from the city wall, and this distance is an absolutely safe distance. Because the enemy's Ten Thousand Arrows have been destroyed, there is no need to be afraid of anything. If you are still worried. You can also put up some large shields, which can also block enemy arrows.

And the firing range of the flying thunder cannon is 400 meters, minus the 100 meters of the city wall from the artillery, so that there can be an actual effective range of 300 meters. The width of Pyongyang City, the capital of Goguryeo, is only 600 meters, and if the width in the east and west is exactly right, it can be covered by two batches of flying thunder cannons. At that time, some flying thunder cannons will be arranged in the east and west, so that they can also have the effect of bombing. At that time, the whole city was bombarded by flying thunder cannons, and it was very miserable. It is conceivable that so many powerful cannons have attacked it, and the effect brought by it can be extremely shocking.

The Flying Thunder Cannon is arguably the most powerful weapon of this era, and even the city walls can be blown down. And if it is delivered directly into residential areas. I'm afraid the power is even more incomparable. As for the flying thunder cannon, it can completely carpet bombard all kinds of population, civilian facilities, and all kinds of things in the city. As long as every inch of land is spared, these shells are enough to blow them up. At that time, the losses of the Goguryeo people were very heavy, so it was completely possible to force them to surrender.

Jingwen's method also imitated the indiscriminate bombardment of the U.S. military in later generations, and then broke the opponent's will to resist. This kind of non-contact operation can completely bomb a country with a very small national territory, so that they will not be able to support it later. In the end, he could only surrender at the mercy of others.

At present, Goguryeo has only one capital, Pyongyang, which is also in line with the situation that the depth of the country is very small. Therefore, Jingwen also planned to use this method, using artillery bombardment to force the Goguryeo people to surrender, so that they felt threatened. Once the will to resist is destroyed, it is probably a forced surrender. This kind of wanton and indiscriminate bombing is, in fact, a non-contact war, and the two sides do not need to make contact. The bombardment was carried out by artillery fire until one side surrendered.

And Li Shimin and Queen Jindeman soon understood this, that is, they wanted to use heavy artillery fire to bomb. This made the Goguryeo people feel that they would be blown to the ground, and then they would have to surrender in order to survive. This is also the essence of carpet bombing, so Li Shimin and Jindeman also felt the chill. After all, if you do this, many innocent people will suffer. Carpet bombing will inevitably affect innocent people, this is certain. So carpet bombing was notorious for later generations and was criticized by human rights organizations. However, the later use of various precision-guided bombs also made carpet bombing less and less. But now Jingwen didn't have any precision-guided bombs, so he could only find a way to use carpet bombing to force the Goguryeo people to surrender.

"Well, if you do this, there will be a lot of innocent people who will suffer! You let me, how can I bear it in my heart! Li Shimin said with some sadness.

Jing Wen secretly scolded in his heart: "Don't cry here and fake mercy, who doesn't know you!" When you were in Luoyang and besieged Luoyang, the people of Luoyang were almost forced to death by you, and the entire prosperous Luoyang City became only one-fifth of the population from then on. You have never been so merciful to even your own people, will you be merciful to these foreigners? What a fucking hypocrite, now that he is the emperor, he will immediately change his face. ”

Jingwen is very disdainful of Li Shimin, the number one hypocrite of the Tang Dynasty, but who made him the emperor or his future father-in-law, of course, he can't be offended directly.

"The emperor's benevolence is really a blessing for all the people! The minister thought that he could use guò arrows to inform the Goguryeo soldiers and civilians in the city that we would use weapons of mass destruction, so that they would surrender quickly. If you don't surrender, then we'll use it right away. In this way, we can be regarded as giving them a chance, not being punished for not teaching. Therefore, the emperor can also warn them that if they still refuse to surrender, then it is no wonder that we are not to blame! It's not that the emperor didn't give them a chance, but that they didn't cherish the opportunity when they had it. So that no one will blame the emperor! Jingwen said.

And Li Shimin said sadly: "Since this is the case, then it is so good." I hope that the soldiers and civilians of Goguryeo can appreciate my benevolence and stop resisting, I am also for their good! ”

Jingwen hurriedly left the scene, he really wanted to vomit for a while, after all, he was disgusted by this hypocrite fake mercy of Li Shimin. (To be continued......)
