933, Street Fight (II)
"City Lord Yang, let's retreat! We now have more than 3,000 people, and it is simply impossible to be the opponent of the Don Army! Yang Wanchun's entourage said.
And Yang Wanchun was in a private house in the east of the city, watching the situation of his Goguryeo side being gradually squeezed, and his heart was also very anxious. At first, the Tang army attacked from the east of the city, but Yang Wanchun still thought that he could defend it, because after all, this was his own territory, and the soldiers were very familiar with this place. In addition, if they have won the hearts and minds of the people, the people will support them, so they should be able to persevere. And it shouldn't be difficult to hold on, after all, they only need to wait for less than forty-eight hours before their own reinforcements will arrive. But now in this situation, not to mention that it lasted less than forty-eight hours, and now it has only been less than three hours, and his side has actually begun to be cut so miserably.
This group of Tang troops seems to be very good at fighting this kind of battle in the city, so in just three hours, Goguryeo directly suffered heavy losses. This situation is not as bad as the field battle, and the night battle of Goguryeo did not have such heavy losses. This kind of street fighting was originally dominated by those who were familiar with the terrain, but now the weapons and equipment of the Tang Army are not only very suitable for street fighting, but also suitable for street fighting in terms of tactics. This squad-based combat method can form a good local numerical advantage over the enemy, and also has a firepower advantage. Because of the Zhuge crossbow and grenades, the firepower advantage of the Tang army with the same number was many times more intense than that of the Goguryeo, which made Goguryeo suffer a big loss.
"Could it be that the Tang army disregarded the people and harmed the people of Goguryeo? Aren't they the Central Plains people the most particular about not being able to hurt the people, and treating others with kindness and righteousness? Yang Wanchun said angrily.
But the soldier said, "They don't treat the people well, as long as they have little suspicion, they will throw in something that will explode, and they would rather kill the wrong one than let it go, and we will lose a lot!" As long as the soldiers hiding in the people's homes sneak up on them, they really greet them with something that will explode. Even the people were hurt together! Now, many people have resisted our soldiers and hid in their homes, because then the Tang army will be angry with them! ”
"Damn, don't they know that the people of the Tang Dynasty are here to invade our Goguryeo, to rob their land wealth, and to rob their land?" Yang Wanchun said.
Of course, the entourage will not say that the Tang army will not rob ordinary people, but rob those big families, as well as those wealth that belongs to the Goguryeo government. So the people did not suffer from the pain of the skin. Because there is no pain in the skin, although the people will resist the Tang army at the beginning, if they know that resisting the Tang army will bring very strict consequences, they will also choose not to help each other. Therefore, without the cover of the house, these Goguryeo soldiers suffered very heavy casualties, because they often had to face several times their own Tang army locally, and more than ten times their own firepower density, so the Goguryeo people suffered very heavy damage.
"Who exactly is the commander of the Don Army? How come the Tang Army still has people who are good at fighting this kind of intra-city battle? Yang Wanchun said.
"I have inquired clearly, the direct commander of the Tang Army this time is Lin Fei. And it is Jingwen who is responsible for supervising the battle! The attendant said.
"Lin Fei? Jingwen? Jingwen I have heard that he is a famous general in the emerging rise of the Tang Dynasty, as if he fought the Turks and the Tubo. But who is this Lin Fei? Who are they who are the ones who will command this battle, and you? Yang Wanchun muttered in his heart.
Yang Wanchun is really speechless now. He now knew that he might not be able to hold the city at all, after all, he never thought that the Tang Army would be so good at fighting street battles. Although this kind of expertise is only relative, the tactics of the Tang army are very effective. Some tactical moves are also specifically designed to restrain some street fighting. Yang Wanchun's Goguryeo soldiers were not very good at street fighting, although they were familiar with the terrain, but after all, they had no research on street fighting. So he was restrained to death by the Tang army.
The Goguryeo people's strong bows and hard crossbows could not play an advantage in this street, but the Tang army's Zhuge crossbow was not small, which increased the density of the Tang army's firepower a lot. The Goguryeo people suffered very much, whether it was hand-to-hand combat or long-range shooting. In addition, this time the Tang Army is fighting in a foreign country, but it has an advantage.
Although there is an advantage in local combat in sports competitions, but in actual warfare there is an advantage in foreign warfare? The reason for this is that in the war, local battles have to take into account a lot of pots and jars, what places of interest and historical sites, and what people in their own country, all of which have to be taken care of, and they are tied up in war. But foreign warfare is different, foreign warfare can completely let go, anyway, it is not their own wealth that is lost, nor their own people, I am afraid of a fart! Although there are so-called military discipline constraints, in fact, how to implement it is also the business of the guys below. Can the boss still behead his own people for the benefit of the so-called foreigners?
After all, the aggressor must have the qualities of the aggressor, and foreign people rarely support the aggressor, which Datang has long been prepared for. Therefore, fighting a war is not like the kind of combat method in China, and military discipline must be controlled very strictly. Once you go to a foreign country to fight, you can fight casually, and you are not afraid of losses, and it is not your own things that are lost anyway. So now these soldiers commanded by Jingwen are very unkind, they should be beaten, those who should be killed, those who should be killed, the people who died were not their own people, and the ones who destroyed were not their own houses. Therefore, the Tang army fought very unintentionally, but Goguryeo was different.
Goguryeo not only had to take care of the people and their own property, but they also had to consider how the Tang army would treat the people in case the city was lost. If the Goguryeo people killed and injured too many Tang troops now, and the city was lost by then, would the Tang army put the blame on the people, and then the Goguryeo people would be killed in retaliation? This is also something that the Goguryeo soldiers have to take care of, so they are also tied up. This was what made Tang Jun beat them so easily, effortlessly.
"Shameless villain, the commander of the Don Army is a shameless villain. It's shameless to be so unscrupulous, but we are tied up! Yang Wanchun said angrily.
"Kill!"
"City Lord, the Tang Army is coming, let's retreat!" The attendant shouted.
And Yang Wanchun looked at Tang Jun, who was killing in his direction, and scolded: "I must remember this time, Jingwen, Lin Fei, I, Yang Wanchun, must kill you!" If I don't kill you, I will not be a man. (To be continued......)
