Chapter 284

Pyongyang City.

This is the capital of Goguryeo, the huge city wall, more than 20 zhang, and above the city wall, countless Goguryeo soldiers, holding bows and crossbows, are on guard.

In the distance, naturally, there were 800,000 Sui troops, surrounding the entire city of Pyongyang, and the water could not be drained.

Seeing this scene, Su Zimo also smiled a little, and said secretly: "Speaking of which, the city walls in this Tang world are several times higher than those ancient city walls recorded in history. ”

Take Luoyang as an example, Luoyang City above history is only more than ten meters high, but in this Tang world, it is a full thirty zhang high!

Obviously, all this is to prevent those martial arts masters.

After all, the Tang Dynasty Shuanglong passed on the world, and the masters gathered, and with light skills alone, it was enough to cross a place several zhang high, if the city wall was not built tall enough, maybe when, it would be attacked by someone.

But he saw a middle-aged man who looked like a military general, came out of the crowd, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the army has been prepared, is it going to attack the city?" ”

Speaking of this, a hint of eagerness flashed in the man's eyes.

This time, an army of 800,000 attacked Goguryeo, all the way to the capital...... Just after breaching this last place.

Then, the entire Goguryeo was included in the territory of the Great Sui.

Hearing this, Su Zimo also looked around, and when he saw a group of generals, all of them were full of excitement, and they were suddenly dumbfounded.

"Spread my will, siege the city!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, an army of 10,000 people rushed towards Pyongyang City.

"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow ——!"

Suddenly, countless arrows fell downwards like flying locusts.

In the blink of an eye, nearly 10,000 Sui troops were submerged under the arrows, and only a few people were lucky enough to rush to the foot of the city wall, looking at the city wall that was more than 20 zhang tall, and they were at a loss.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing this scene, Su Zimo also frowned, and there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes: "Come on, go and bring those captives up!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, tens of thousands of ragged captives, with blank expressions, were tied together by long ropes on their hands and feet, and they were driven by the spears and spears of a group of Sui troops, and walked with difficulty to the center of the field.

"Listen to me."

A general came to these captives, pointed to the city of Pyongyang in front of him, a sneer appeared on his face, and said: "This place in front of you is your national capital, Your Majesty is merciful, as long as you can successfully cross this road, I will set you free." ”

"Did you hear that?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the captives suddenly showed a look of Xiyi.

As prisoners of war, during this time, their lives were not easy, they were poorly clothed and hungry. Although he was not beaten and tortured, all kinds of rough and heavy work along the way were done by these captives.

"Untie them!"

At the sound of an order, the ropes on the captives were untied.

But in the face of the Sui army's hands, the cold spears and bows and crossbows naturally did not dare to act rashly.

"Up!"

Driven by the Sui army, these captives also marched towards Pyongyang City at a speed that was not too fast.

At this time, it was Su Zimo who witnessed all this, but there was a hint of ridicule, and he said faintly: "I want to see, what will you do in the face of these compatriots?" ”

After such a long period of tempering, he also knows that there can be no trace of a woman's kindness on the battlefield, and now the counterattack above Pyongyang City is fierce, but with a strong attack, there is no doubt that it will pay a great price.

In this case, driving the captives to attack the city is also a helpless move.

At the same time, the actions of the Sui army below are naturally seen clearly above Pyongyang City.

"Shoot the arrows!"

However, in the face of his siblings, the general who was in charge of defending the city did not hesitate to give the order.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Another rain of arrows fell.

In the face of the dense rain of arrows, these captives did not even have the slightest resistance, and fell in pieces.

After a rain of arrows, nearly half of the tens of thousands of captives were killed and wounded, and the remaining captives naturally scattered and fled, trying to escape from the battlefield, but under the Sui army and the rain of arrows above, they were killed and wounded.

At this moment, the entire land outside Pyongyang was dyed blood-red.

On the battlefield, there was a thick smell of blood.

At this moment, the battlefield was also caught in a fierce battle, and one of the generals suggested: "Your Majesty, do you want to shout to the city to persuade you to surrender?" ”

"Yes."

Hearing this, the military general also turned his head without hesitation and shouted towards the top of the city wall.

"Listen to the people inside, my Great Sui 800,000 army has now surrounded you, Your Majesty is gracious, if you take the initiative to open the city and surrender, and fall under the rule of my Great Sui, you can also be spared a death, otherwise the day the city is broken, it will be the time for you to die!"

"Whoosh, whoosh."

What responded to him was a series of arrows.

Obviously, the king of Goguryeo and others in the city had already made up their minds to defend the city.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"

Seeing this scene, Su Zimo couldn't help but shake his head, and said loudly: "Come on, get on the thunderbolt!" ”

Order.

In the camp, a group of soldiers lifted several horse-drawn carriages covered in black cloth, revealing a pile of strangely shaped parts, which, after assembly, were impressively a thunderbolt car ten meters high.

The thunderbolt was framed with a large wooden frame, the joints were connected with metal parts, and the gun shaft that could be rotated was placed horizontally on the gun carriage, and the long rod fixed on the shaft was called "slightly", which played a lever role, and there were 50 gun ropes on it.

Each rope was pulled by one person, so that the Thunderbolt was pulled by fifty people, which happened to be a team, one cart and one team.

Seeing this thunderbolt, Su Zimo sighed secretly in his heart.

After so many years of research, Lu Miaozi finally restored those drawings, and after several months of hard work, he and the craftsmen in the Tiangong Division made this thunderbolt.

To attack Goguryeo here, in order to be on the safe side, Su Zimo also ordered someone to disassemble the thunderbolt cart and transport it here in a horse-drawn carriage.

And today, that's when Thunderbolt comes in handy.

Two or three hundred men were dispatched quickly, and it was not long before four thunderbolts, about the same size as before, were quickly assembled and formed.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Seeing this scene, the eyes of a general flashed with curiosity.

Even they didn't know about the Thunderbolt, and judging only from its appearance, it was probably some kind of special siege equipment.

"Ready—"

With an order, a group of Sui soldiers unloaded the boulder from the small rolling cart and loaded it onto the thunderbolt cart.

After that, it is time to align the angle and measure the distance from the city wall.

"Launch!"
