Chapter 504: Set up a monument and go up since ancient times!

In October of the fifth year of Yuanhe, the first army of the Tang Association of Liaodong was the vanguard, with 120,000 Tang Association troops, 80,000 Chang'an forbidden troops, 20,000 Andong troops, and more than 200,000 elite troops divided into several routes, and directly killed the Bohai State in the east of Liaodong.

Among them, Guo Rong personally led the Changying army to Fuyu, an important town in the western part of the Bohai Kingdom, and Li Yu led the lightly armed cavalry to raid the real capital of the Bohai Kingdom, Shangjing Xiande Mansion.

On October 12, the Changying Army arrived at the western town of the Bohai State, and it was also the location of the last formed border army, which can be called the hope of the Bohai State.

In the face of the sudden Changying Army, the Bohai border army stationed in Buyeo poured out, and as a result, they bumped into the Changying Army, which was full of establishment, full state, and full ration, and was in a real peak state.

To tell the truth, the combat effectiveness of the Changying Army is indeed strong, but because it is strong, the vast majority of the encounters are passive and unfavorable.

In such a passive situation, it is simply impossible to complete the deployment in a calm situation, either by refusing to defend the camp or by making a decisive surprise attack.

As a result, the Changying Army rarely had the opportunity to deploy step by step, arrange the formation step by step, and complete the standard field battle formation of the Changying Army version step by step.

Fortunately, the border army of the Bohai State became the first army to enjoy the field battle array of the Changying Army, and wanted to feel the cross-era blow.

Unfortunately, the border army of the Bohai State became the first army to enjoy the field battle array of the Changying Army, and became the first victim of this tactic.

Zuo Weiwei used, after the improvement, the single soldier operated the three-stone heavy crossbow,

After upgrading, the pound is stable at one stone and two stones, and a strong bow that can achieve short-time rapid-fire

The effective firing range is more than 800 steps, the burst function has been realized, and the third version of the upgraded eight-bull crossbow can adjust the angle of fire at will,

Enhanced mobility and stability, reduced size, light catapult with a range of more than two hundred paces,

During the attack, pieces of death were carried out under a long-range system of saturated attacks consisting of archers, crossbowmen, eight-bull crossbows, and catapults.

Well-trained, tacit cooperation, advanced tactics, perfect equipment, and technical suppression, this wave, the Changying Army finally gave full play to its advantages.

The soldiers of the Changying Army are happy and enjoyable, and Guo Rong has also got what he hopes to be verified, but as an opponent, this is a nightmare for the Bohai Border Army.

Thousands of people smashed into it, but they didn't even touch the hair of the Changying army, and this feeling made the Bohai people feel helpless and desperate from the soldiers to the commander.

With the crossbowmen and archers releasing water, the Bohai people finally broke through to the front of the Changying army, only to find that arriving here was not the end of the nightmare, but the beginning of the nightmare.

Wearing heavy armor, wearing iron swords, and holding Mo knives, the heavy infantry holding the rifles is an insurmountable mountain.

The slashing knives, the stabbing rifles, and the pervasive spears and spears bring that real sense of suffocation.

Once, twice, three times......

In one morning, this frenzied and continuous offensive lasted for six full waves, but apart from leaving seven or eight thousand corpses in front of the Tang army's battle array, and the Tang army's loss of a large number of arrows, crossbow arrows, and gravel, there was hardly any effect.

Compared with other people or other forces, the Bohai border army that guarded the western gateway of the Bohai Kingdom and fought with the more barbarian barbarians in the deep mountains and old forests all year round was indeed brave.

In the face of this wave after wave of progress that is still not afraid of death, there is a limit to whether it is confidence, fighting spirit or belief, and no one can bear this kind of loss indefinitely.

Especially when there is no hope in sight.

Near noon, in the last attempt of the Bohai Navy, these brave Bohai men finally collapsed, and the attack turned into a rout.

At other times, Guo Rong would let the heavy infantry follow at the first opportunity, the light infantry and archers to protect the heavy infantry flanks, and the ready cavalry to outflank them from both flanks to complete a simple, modular annihilation battle.

However, this time, in the face of the collapsed Bohai Navy, Guo Rong did not give any orders, and the battle formation of the Changying Army did not move at all, quietly

Seeing the scattered Bohai people flee into Buyeo City.

The Changying Army beheaded nearly 10,000 people at the cost of losing less than 100 people in the battle, which completely shattered the courage of this team that the Bohai people had the last hope for.

Subsequently, the Changying Army was quietly stationed outside Buyeo City, besieging but not attacking, and completely entered the state of Buddhism.

If the Changying army does not attack, the Bohai people naturally do not dare to attack.

As a result, when the entire Bohai Kingdom was in full swing, the westernmost city of Buyeo City, located at the westernmost point of the Bohai Kingdom, maintained a strange calm.

However, the siege of the Changying army under the city of Buyeo does not mean that all the soldiers and horses are so Buddhist, you must know that there are 120,000 "Tang Concordant Army" in the territory of the Bohai Sea.

In all fairness, the combat effectiveness of these Tang Allied troops is uneven, but under the command of the forbidden army and retired veterans of the Anton Army, the lower limit of combat effectiveness will not be too low.

In order to enhance their ability to attack fortifications, Guo Rong and Li Yu also specially assigned them to an engineer battalion or an equipment battalion.

Although these subordinate engineer battalions and equipment battalions will not follow the attached "Tang Xiejun" to act together, they will not be very far away from the attached part of the "Tang Allied Army".

In addition, after the Xiangping War, there were no formed soldiers in Bohai, and the Tang Association Army, which was equipped with an engineer battalion or an equipment battalion and commanded by an old pawn, could almost be described as walking sideways.

Even if you're really unlucky and run into some hard stubble, that's okay.

In addition to the separately subordinate engineer battalion and equipment battalion, as well as the Changying Army besieging Buyeo, the remaining 40,000 forbidden troops quickly occupied important strategic points in the Bohai Sea after entering the Bohai Sea, and then divided into battalions and regiments, or evenly distributed among the various "Tang Allied Armies", so as to facilitate the provision of necessary support and protection for the "Tang Allied Army" from all walks of life.

Under the blessing of this series, more than 100,000 "Tang Xiejun" rushed into the hinterland of the Bohai Kingdom with great momentum.

Although the "Tang Allied Army" divided their troops into several routes, their movement trajectories and general practices were similar.

At first, these "Tang Cooperative Army" were cautious and slightly restrained, but as the distance deeper into the Bohai Sea deepened, and after understanding that the Bohai Kingdom had been hollowed out, these "Tang Cooperative Army" became more and more rampant.

On October 13, the day after the Changying army arrived in Buyeo City, the second army of the Tang Concord Army, mainly composed of Goguryeo people, surrounded Xianzhou in Buyeo Province in Bohai.

Compared with the Bohai State Mansion, as a border city, Xianzhou already has a certain amount of guarding strength, plus it is less than two hundred miles away from Fuyu City, so in the face of Tang Xiejun's persuasion, the Xianzhou defenders did not hesitate to refuse.

However, during the siege battle, this Tang allegorical army, which was mainly composed of Goguryeo remnants, was attacked head-on by the defenders of Xianzhou.

After suffering losses, the Second Army of the Liaodong Tang Association began to shake people without emphasizing martial virtues.

The first to arrive in Xianzhou was the Zuo Weiwei Engineer Battalion and the Equipment Battalion, which were less than half a day's journey away from them, and then arrived at the two combat battalions of Zuo Weiwei and a combat battalion to which Zuo Qianniu belonged, and this was not all.

According to the city defense of Xianzhou, the Zuowei Guard Engineer Battalion and the Equipment Battalion prepared a full forty catapults, and prepared two bases, totaling 4,000 stone bombs and ice bombs.

And within three days of their preparation of ordnance, the number of forbidden troops who arrived outside Xianzhou City had reached a full six war battalions and one cavalry battalion.

Coupled with the Zuowei Engineer Battalion and the Equipment Battalion, which were already attached to the Second Army of the Liaodong Tang Association, the number of forbidden troops under Xianzhou City even exceeded 10,000.

This scale has exceeded the strength of one guard of the forbidden army, and for Xianzhou, such a small city with only more than one zhang and less than 3,000 guards, it is really a bit of a knife and chicken.

If the defenders were stronger, the sappers and equipment would have converged a little, but the balance of forces between the two sides was really not on the same level.

As a result, the Zuowei Guards sappers and equipment soldiers belonging to the Second Army of the Tang Association directly placed forty catapults only a hundred steps away from the city wall and laid them out.

Then, under the watchful eyes of a full 30,000 people, forty catapults began to move towards Xianzhou City without stopping

It fires stone bullets, wooden bullets, and ice bullets.

Although the power of wooden bullets and ice bullets is not as good as stone bullets, in the cold winter time, ice bullets are undoubtedly easy to make elixir, and the destructive power of ice bullets is not as good as stone bullets, which does not mean that the lethality is insufficient.

In fact, after the ice bomb collided with the city wall, the ice cubes formed were tantamount to countless sharp, sharp blades.

Rao is wooden bullets and ice bullets are not powerful enough, but under the bombardment of a whole hour and a half, the weak city wall of Xianzhou has collapsed.

Not only did the city wall fall with a bang, but under the continuous projection, there was no shadow of half of the defenders above the city.

However, at this moment, Zuo Weiwei's sappers and equipment soldiers still have half a base of ammunition, and they are mainly improvised ice bombs.

In line with the principle of not wasting resources, the remaining nearly 1,000 ice bombs, wooden bombs, and stone bullets of all kinds were thrown out.

Immediately afterwards, the Second Army of the Tang Association, which suffered a heavy loss in the first round of attack, dispatched all its members and rushed into the city along the collapsed gap.

At the beginning, under the constraints of the forbidden army and the retired veterans of the Anton Army, the Second Army of the Tang Association still maintained a certain degree of military discipline.

However, as it deepened, with the first counter-kill, everything began to develop in the direction of collapse.

Liquidation turns into plunder,

In the process of looting, the female cadre Yin gradually increased,

The looting and the inevitable killing in the process of female Yin,

The scale of looting, female cadre Yin, and killing became larger and larger from a small age, and the number of people involved became more and more, gradually expanding to the entire Xianzhou, and to the entire Second Army of the Tang Association.

The veterans from the Forbidden Army and the Anton Army scoffed at this situation, but they firmly obeyed the military orders they had accepted before the expedition.

These veterans, who were the commanders, neither participated, nor prevented, nor added fuel to the fire, but reiterated two orders before the situation became completely uncontrollable.

First, all seizures need to be handed over to the public, and after justification and co-ordination, they will be re-assigned.

Second, their time was only three days, and three days later, before the trumpet sounded in the early morning, all the Tang Xie's troops had to return to the team, otherwise they would be punished for defection.

After emphasizing the order and reiterating the requirements, these veterans belonging to the forbidden army and the Anton army quietly withdrew from the city and stationed outside the city with other Tang troops, leaving the city completely to those who had lost their rationality and humanity.

In three days, Xianzhou went from a beautiful and quiet small city in eastern Liaodong to a hell on earth full of greed, blood, and brutality.

As the morning of the fourth day approached, a fire appeared from the west of the city and quickly spread to the entire Xianzhou.

Under the cover of the firelight, a team, a column, a figure with an excited expression, crooked armor, vague steps, and a weak and tired body left.

And the entire Xianzhou was completely engulfed by the fire, and gradually, this fire, this battle, and a raging spread gradually.

On October 18, the Yalu Mansion in Xijing, Bohai State, was captured, and then the Tang Association army entered the city and slaughtered the city for three days.

In three days, nearly 100,000 Bohai people in Yalu Mansion in Xijing were slaughtered and their goods were plundered.

After the massacre and looting were completed, the Tang Xiejun set fire to the city, which was already like a tragedy on earth, and the fire burned for three days, three days and nights.

On October 26, with the support of the first section of Zuo Qianniuwei, the First Army of the Liaodong Tang Allied Army, mainly composed of Silla and Baekje people, conquered Nanhai Province in Nanjing, Bohai State.

The city was broken, and the Tang Association army slaughtered the city and set it on fire......

……

The entire Bohai Kingdom, with the pace of the "Tang Concord Army", is being completely burned down little by little.

The entire Bohai Kingdom is being burned and dismembered little by little, but all this seems to have nothing to do with Buyeo City.

Under Buyeo City, everything is still so calm.

Under the calm, every battle report was accurately transmitted to Buyeo City.

However, in this case, what can Bohai County in Buyeo City do?

It wasn't until Guo Rong put forward a suggestion to imitate other Tang Concordant armies and reorganize the only tens of thousands of elites of the Bohai State in Fuyu City into the Tang Concord Army, so as to retain the existence of the Bohai State.

Initially, the Bohai people rejected Guo Rong, but as time progressed, as one massacre after another was carried out, the Bohai people of Buyeo City complied.

In the end, the number of the Tang Allied Army in Liaodong changed from six to nine, and under the deliberate guidance of Guo Rong, they slaughtered the city, and the six Tang Allied armies divided into became their mortal enemies for life.

When the time came to the last month of the fifth year of Yuanhe, Anzhou, which was located in the easternmost part of the Bohai Kingdom, was captured by the Tang Concord Army, and since then the five capitals, fifteen prefectures, and sixty-two prefectures of the Bohai State have all been captured and burned, and nearly 100,000 Beijing Guanguan stars are scattered on the homeland of the Bohai State.

At this point, the Bohai Kingdom, once known as the "prosperous country of the East China Sea", has completely changed from a historical knowledge to a historical term.

In the wind and snow, in the extreme cold of Liaodong, after taking the five capitals and fifteen prefectures of the Bohai Sea Kingdom, Guo Rong and Li Yu stopped the pace of marching and turned to the only remaining city in the Bohai Kingdom, the Shangjing Xiande Mansion that Li Yu raided for thousands of miles.

With the fall of the Bohai Kingdom, Xiande Mansion had another name, Bozhou in the Tang Dynasty.

In May of the sixth year of Yuanhe, after staying in the former Bohai Kingdom for six months, Guo Rong led the Changying Army to embark on the road back.

As for the rest of the Tang Allied Army, under the coordination of Li Yu, they continued to march to the entire Liaodong, and Guo Rong's advice to Li Yu was to let those "Tang Concord Army" who had seen the fish in the Bohai Sea fight all the way to the northernmost place where there was no land.

Erect a monument to prove that since ancient times, this has been our place, and it can be regarded as giving full play to the residual heat of those scum.
