Chapter 562: The Sinner of Goguryeo
The morale of the siege soldiers and the morale of the defenders can be called the two heavens of ice and fire, the morale of the siege soldiers is high, and the chest is almost about to burst out, eager to fly up to the city immediately to kill the enemy army and turn over on their backs, and the soldiers defending the city are panicked, I don't know if Lord Weisa has been killed by the artillery of the Tang Army, although this Lord Weisa is so happy to lead the army's ability to be mediocre, but after all, he is the commander of this Liaodong City, and is the backbone of everyone, if the boss dies, how can this battle be fought? When Jin Zhenwu heard Tang Jun's shout, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, the secret saying was not good, just now Gao Yanshou was injured and many soldiers in the city saw it, but the soldiers couldn't see it really, but they were more likely to be confused by Tang Jun's shouting, Jin Zhenwu immediately shouted.
"Brothers, don't listen to the nonsense of the enemy army, Lord Urza is very good, he is not dead at all!"
The other generals also reacted and shouted one after another, however, the shouting outside the city stopped, and then the sound of artillery rang out again, Jin Zhenwu and the shouts of the generals were drowned in the rumbling artillery, only the soldiers in front of them could hear clearly, the sound of artillery rang out again, it was the same power as before, but the shock brought to the soldiers defending the city was better than before, because they were even more panicked in their hearts.
"General!"
"General!"
"The Tang army is attacking!"
Jin Zhenwu was shocked when he heard this, this was the first day of defending the city, and he actually let the Tang army attack the city, is this worth it? At present, the morale of the soldiers is too low, and they have no intention of defending the city at all, how can this city be defended? If you want to hold the city, you must revive the morale, how to revive the morale? Now it seems that there is only one way, Jin Zhenwu turned his head and shouted at his own soldiers.
"Don't go to Lord Daisa yet, the city wall is almost unbearable, please come to the city wall to sit on the city wall to boost morale, go quickly!"
The pro-soldier immediately turned his head and left, and Jin Zhenwu suddenly shouted.
"Stop, if Lord Lisa doesn't come, you say, if Lord Lisa doesn't come, this city will be difficult to hold!"
In the Weisa Mansion, Gao Yanshou has already dealt with the wound on his forehead, but Gao Yanshou's face is still a little pale, on the one hand, because of blood loss, on the other hand, he has palpitations, it was too thrilling on the city wall just now, if the stone shot is bigger, or slightly off the temple, then his body may be cold now.
"It's too dangerous, who would have thought that Datang would have such a siege weapon, although I have heard of it, the name of artillery, who would have thought that artillery would be so powerful!"
Gao Yanshou said with emotion, because the power of the artillery was too terrifying, and the soldiers next to him were also apprehensive, and nodded again and again.
"Yes, Lord Daisa, it's too dangerous, the artillery is too powerful, it will kill and injure a lot of people when it falls on the city, and even the city wall will be smashed and broken!"
"No wonder Jian'an City and Gaimu City fell so quickly, it turned out to be because of the artillery of the Tang Dynasty!"
Gao Yanshou couldn't help but lose his mind for a while when he heard this, Jian'an City and Gaimu City fell so quickly, what about Liaodong City? And for how long? Before, he was confident that he could keep the Tang Emperor out of Liaodong City, but now, he had no confidence at all, because the artillery of the Tang Army was definitely not something that could be resisted by manpower, and someone outside hurriedly walked over and said urgently.
"Lord Daiza! Lord Daiza! โ
Gao Yanshou asked.
"What's the matter?"
"General Jin ordered the humble post to come to deliver the message, and the Tang army outside the city shouted that Lord Weisa was killed by a cannon, so the morale of the soldiers fell sharply, so that the Tang army has attacked the city, and the general is leading people to kill the Tang army down the city, and the general asked Lord Weisa to come to the city to supervise the battle in person to restore morale, otherwise, otherwise, it will be difficult to hold the city!"
Gao Yanshou's face couldn't help but sink when he heard this, and his brows furrowed together, because he remembered the situation of the artillery falling on the city wall, if it was just a bow and arrow, then he would not be afraid, because there is armor to protect himself, and there are personal soldiers to protect him, but there is no need to worry about life safety, but the Tang army has artillery! The artillery fell, not to mention the armor, it was useless for the soldiers to gather in a heap, they would only be smashed into a pile of meat sauce, they were born noble, had a prominent background, and held power at a young age, and now they are even more officials in the north of the country, and they are already among the best among the generals, how can they die in the city? How can it be a bunch of pรขtรฉ? Gao Yanshou said in a deep voice.
"Ben Shuai was attacked at the head of the city, although it was not life-threatening, but he had a splitting headache, dizziness, and he really couldn't climb the city wall, you go back and tell Jin Zhenwu that he is also a veteran in the army, he knows how to fight, Ben Shuai ordered him to guard the city wall!"
Jin Zhenwu's personal soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what to do for a while, and the general asked him to ask Lord Weisa to go to the town to guard, but Lord Weisa insisted on not going, what should I do? Big brother, I'm just a little soldier, don't play with me like this! I'm so embarrassed that I'm in the middle of this, and the soldiers stubbornly said.
"Lord Weiza, now the morale of the army has fallen to the bottom, only Lord Weisa can climb the city wall to break the conspiracy of the Tang army, to restore morale, and the soldiers will be united to defend the city!"
Gao Yanshou said impatiently.
"There are 50,000 troops in the city! Don't you hear that the Tang army is only 100,000 troops, if Jin Zhenwu can't hold the city, isn't it a waste? Get out of here, tell Jin Zhenwu that you must hold the city, and when the marshal recovers from his injuries, he will definitely climb to the top of the city and personally supervise the battle! Don't get out of here! โ
Jin Zhenwu's personal soldiers were helpless, so they could only run up and leave in a hurry, and the personal soldiers next to him handed over tea and hurriedly said.
"My lord, let's take a sip of tea and take a break!"
However, Gao Yanshou was not in the mood to drink tea at all, he remembered what Jin Zhenwu's personal soldiers had said just now, and frowned and groaned.
"Jin Zhenwu also said that this city is difficult to hold, you say, this city will not really be unfortunate, right?"
The pro-soldier next to him hurriedly said.
"My lord, it's not a small thing to say frustrating words, today is the first day of defending the city, and the Tang army has attacked the city, even if the enemy army is repulsed today, what about after that? It's really hard to resist artillery! โ
Gao Yanshou sighed when he heard this.
"You're right, this cannon is really hard to resist! If the king knew the power of the Tang army's artillery, he wouldn't blame Ben Shuai, and he should blame Yuan Gai Suwen for this, if he didn't have to attack Silla, and kept saying that the Tang Dynasty would not send troops to intervene, where would there be today's crisis? I have long seen that this old boy is not a thing, and he really does everything to get promoted and make a fortune, and he is really a criminal minister of Goguryeo! โ
Although Yuangai Suwen is also the son of an official, but his background is not prominent, although he is also famous, but he can't compare with Gao Yanshou, when Yuangai Suwen first entered the officialdom, Gao Yanshou was already in a high position, however, just because of a trip to the Tang Dynasty, Yuangai Suwen rose rapidly, and he rose to the top, and he led the army to the east, won consecutive battles, and was about to make immortal achievements, which made Gao Yanshou very unconvinced, in his opinion, Yuangai Suwen didn't have any great skills, and he was just going to conquer Silla, isn't it just to deal with a woman! As long as it's a man, who can't do it? How could such an opportunity for meritorious service fall on Yuangai Suwen? He was born in a famous family, in terms of talent, official position, and background, which one is not a hundred times stronger than Yuangai Suwen? Originally, Gao Yanshou wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Tang Emperor's personal expedition to block the Tang Emperor from Liaodong, so that he could also extinguish the limelight of Yuan Gai Suwen, in his mind, this should be a very simple thing, after all, the Tang Emperor only brought more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he couldn't bargain for a million troops in front of Sui! I never thought that Datang would have such a siege weapon as artillery, how the hell can he defend the city? It's not that he can't prolong his life, but that Datang is too bullying, and the culprit of all this is Yuangai Suwen, if Yuangai Suwen, if Yuangai Suwen doesn't attack Silla, then how can Datang send troops? Thinking of this, Gao Yanshou calmed down a lot, turned his head and ordered.
"Go to the commander's military order, gather the cavalry in the city, and wait for the commander's dispatch at any time, and you guys should prepare."
Ready to prepare? What to prepare? If others heard it, they might be confused, but the pro-soldiers next to them suddenly understood when they heard it, and hurriedly went down to prepare to go, on the city wall, Jin Zhenwu just led people to kill a wave of Tang troops who climbed the city wall, and then saw the pro-soldiers he sent running over panting.
"General, general, Lord Daisa said that he was seriously injured, dizzy, and unable to climb the city wall, and said that the general must be allowed to defend the city!"
Jin Zhenwu, who was covered in blood, listened to a look of indignation on his face, he carefully observed Gao Yanshou's injuries at the beginning, and found that Gao Yanshou's injuries were not serious at all, not to mention that the injuries were not serious, even if the injuries were extremely serious, as the commander of the three armies, in order to boost morale, even if he was carried by others, he should come to the city wall to sit down, however, Gao Yanshou only suffered a little injury and shrank in the mansion, ignoring the soldiers of the three armies, where is there still a little bit of the appearance of a coach, in fact, Jin Zhenwu also understands in his heart, why Gao Yanshou is unwilling to climb the city wall again? I'm afraid it's not just because he was injured, but also because he was afraid of the artillery of the Tang Army, Jin Zhenwu was very sad and angry for a while, Gao Yanshou was born in a famous family in the final analysis because of his ancestors' great achievements when he resisted the former Sui Eastern Expedition, but now Gao Yanshou's actions have insulted the prestige of his ancestors, although he is sad and angry, but Jin Zhenwu has no way, in the end, Gao Yanshou is the commander of the three armies, is it just watching the city lost? Jin Zhenwu looked up to the sky with an indignant face and roared.
"I, Jin Zhenwu, swear, as long as I, Jin Zhenwu, am alive, I will never let Liaodong City be lost, if the Tang army wants to capture the city wall, it will first step on my Jin Zhenwu's corpse, brothers, behind it is your father and fellow villagers, but if there is still a little blood, follow me to kill the enemy!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Although the commander is not there, but the deputy marshal is sworn to defend the city, but also let some of the soldiers recover their morale, under the city wall, Li Er and others have been observing the siege battle, they are all veterans of the battlefield, this eye strength is naturally there, Li Er smiled with a red face.
"Li Yong's idea is really useful, the defenders in the city have no morale, it seems that Gao Yanshou's guy is really artillery, I think, maybe it won't take three days, if nothing happens, Liaodong City can be taken today!"
This is Liaodong City! The first important town in Liaodong, as long as he takes Liaodong City, even if he immediately returns to the court, it is enough to boast of the great victory of the future generations, not to mention that if he takes Liaodong City so smoothly, if he takes Liaodong City in one day, then he will continue to lead the troops to the east, even if the civil officials in the court will not have an opinion, as for the soldiers who accompany the army, not to mention, if they retreat at this moment, then the soldiers will be disappointed! Just when Li Er's face was full of red light and his heart was agitated, he suddenly stared at the city wall, not only Li Er's gaze froze, but even Xu Shiji's gaze froze, and for a long time, Li Er said with some regret.
"The morale of the defenders has been restored! It seems that Gao Yanshou's injury is not serious! It's time to get to the top of the city again! โ
Xu Shiji groaned.
"Not necessarily, it seems that the morale of the northern section of the city wall has been restored, but the morale of the southern side is as low!"
Li Er listened and observed it carefully, and said with a smile.
"Mao Gong still looked carefully, it seems that Gao Yanshou has not climbed the city wall! Liaodong City also has brave and good fighters! โ
The emperor was not in a hurry, but someone was in a hurry, Cheng Yanjin sat on the horse and twisted his brows like a knotted rope, holding a telescope and scolding while observing.
"Fuck the thief, how did the defenders on this section of the city wall take aphrodisiacs, why did they suddenly become powerful, why did the defenders on the southern section of the city wall look like girls, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the old man is going to lose to the old thief? โ
According to this situation, he has to lose to Wei Chi Gong, although it is because the defenders of this section of the city wall he attacked suddenly regained their morale, but this is not a reason, if he loses, he loses, it is okay to lose to others, lose to Wei Chi Gong, as soon as he thinks that Yu Chi Gong will be triumphant in front of him in the future, he feels like swallowing a fly, and he must not give Yu Chi Gong a chance to show off, thinking of this, Cheng Yanjin turned over and dismounted, and said loudly.
"The old man personally attacked the city, you follow the old man, you have to capture the city today!"
The general next to him exclaimed when he heard this.
"No! He Lao Guogong personally went into battle, and the last general led the brothers to charge! โ
Cheng Biting Jin spat fiercely and said angrily.
"Do you think the old man is too old to climb the city? Less nonsense, follow the old man! โ
Cheng Biting Jin, as a national prince and a well-known veteran, is now personally attacking the city, and the encouragement of the soldiers can be imagined.
"Qi Qi Saint, Lu Guogong personally went into battle and rushed up with the soldiers!"
Li Er couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and he was a little worried about Cheng Biting Jin, but he couldn't help but be happy, and said loudly.
"Okay, wow, although Lu Guogong is a veteran, he is as brave as he was back then!"
