The actions of the new army were clearly to besiege the city.

The Joseon king on the city wall and the Joseon ministers were all chuckled in their hearts.

In their eyes, before the Han army arrived in Pyongyang, these people wanted to consume the grain and grass supplies of the new army through the tactics of defending the city, so as to achieve the effect of surrendering the army without a fight, so that the new army would retreat in the face of difficulties.

But now, as soon as the siege was opened, these people were already a little flustered.

The pressure brought to North Korea by the Han Dynasty was not ordinary.

Since ancient times, it is the existence of the suzerain, which has made them inherently afraid.

In addition, the establishment of the regime of Wei Manchu Korea was originally established by the defecting generals under Liu Bang in the early Han Dynasty, so when facing the Han army, the pressure was even higher.

"King, they're going to besiege the city, or we."

Some ministers were in a state of panic.

The king of Joseon is the same, except that as a king, he is better than these ministers.

"Wai Sanyi, what they want is for us to run, we can't be fooled, otherwise there will be no recovery!"

From the actions of the new army, it is not difficult for the Joseon king to see their purpose.

Siege warfare is not as easy to fight as field warfare.

Although the soldiers of the New Army are not afraid, if there is a better way to take Pyongyang, why not?

The flag was unfurled, and the city of Pyongyang was surrounded on three sides.

There are ministers on the city wall who are afraid, and naturally there are those who are not afraid.

Wei Manchu Korea was originally established by Wei Man, a general under the command of Lu Juan, the king of Yan, so in North Korea, there are many Yan people.

The people of these two countries are already fierce and full of martial virtues, and now that they have not yet engaged in the war, they will not surrender easily.

Wang Kuang, the general of North Korea, stood with his hands: "King, the Han army besieged the city without knowing whether it is true or not, and it will be consumed first, if this is a confusing move by the Han army, the clues can be seen in less than ten days." ”

Korean ministers Han Yin and Nixi Xiangshen also spoke at the same time: "What General Wang said is reasonable, and the ministers seconded it." ”

Wenchen, the military generals and leaders all said so, and the other Korean courtiers stopped talking, although they were afraid and panicked, but now after all, they have not yet engaged in the battle, and the strength of the Han army is unknown.

Wang Wei Youqu of Joseon looked at the orderly Han army formation under the city and nodded.

"What you Aiqing said is reasonable, but you can't underestimate them, the border of North Korea is already rugged, and they can reach Pyongyang City without us knowing, which shows that most of them are elite soldiers."

"The king is wise!"

On the city wall, all the Korean ministers bowed their hands towards the Weiyou Canal.

The king of North Korea waved his hand and drove back to the palace.

Although he said it was impassioned, Wei Youqu's trembling left hand meant that his mind was not calm at the moment.

This time, the Han army moved too quickly.

He had just coveted Liaodong, and only made a few moves, and the Han army on his back foot arrived, and he arrived unknowingly in such a rugged terrain on the Korean border.

All this shows that the Han army is no longer the Han army in his cognition.

Fortunately, now that the ministers dare to fight, he has more confidence in his heart.

——

"General, the defenders on the city wall have moved, and it looks like they are determined to hold on."

With the use of binoculars and good weather, almost all personnel transfers on the walls of Pyongyang were clearly watched by the generals of the new army.

"Oh, it seems that there are still some Yidi who know a lot about tactics, and also, judging from the information collected by weaving the net, the king of Joseon is the heir of the general under the command of the Yan king of the Han Dynasty, and it is appropriate to have such a ability, otherwise he will not covet Liaodi."

"Let the Mechanic Captain come over."

The general of the New First Army spread out a map of the territory of Korea and instructed the generals who came in to report.

"No!"

The official gave his hand, inserted the telescope back into his waist, and turned to go out.

After a short time, the general went and returned, followed by a person.

"Captain Sun Fu has seen the general!"

"Well, how many mechanics do you have in your department now?"

"General Hui, there are 1,123 people in our department, and 367 people have completed the first phase of training."

"Possibly a siege machine?"

"Yes, but most of the supply ships carried this time are grain and grass, there are not many equipment parts, and the latest type of catapult ballista cannot be formed, so the original model can only be completed."

"Then let's go to the logging and construction, and drill the stone to configure the ammunition, the purpose of this time is to put pressure on Pyongyang City, and the original model should be enough."

"No!"

Captain Sun Fu gave up.

The general of the new First Army looked at the general: "Let the Second Army and the Third Army synchronize." ”

"No!"

For a few days.

Pyongyang is safe and sound.

The New Army conducted military exercises every day, but there was no offensive action.

As for the defenders of Pyongyang City, General Wang Kuang inspected every day to boost morale, and Wei Youqu rewarded the whole army, and for a time there was also a bit of an elite soldier.

And in this piece of peace.

The rear of the three armies is in full swing to make siege equipment.

Without exception, all three armies were only engaged in the assembly of stone throwers.

On this march, they did not carry any baggage, and all their belongings were transported by the logistics regiment of the Maritime Division.

The first batch of arrivals was mostly grain and grass, and the parts were only brought with them, so they could not let the operators of the three armed services show their strengths.

It was in full swing for four or five days.

In the early morning of the sixth day.

A series of sirens sounded over the walls of Pyongyang.

"The Han army is coming!"

"The Han army is coming!!"

I saw that in the night last night, nine stone throwers were quietly sent to the three city walls.

North Korea is different from the Han army, and the city defense equipment cannot be compared at all.

The big crossbows they are wielding now are still the same as those of the early Han Dynasty decades ago, and they are not as good as the big yellow crossbows of the Han Dynasty today in terms of range and power.

And with the help of telescopes, the New Army naturally discovered this.

Therefore, the stone throwing machine stopped steadily at a hundred paces away from the effective range of the city defense equipment.

In the cool morning.

Nine roaring stone throwers are like hungry mandrills seeking their lives.

The crackling sound of a series of boulders crashing completely broke the silence of Pyongyang City!

Joseon Royal Palace.

"King!! The Han army has attacked! ”

"What!"

Hearing the shout, Wei Youqu woke up from the gentle countryside in a single dress.

The illusion of peace brought about by these days is gone in this moment.

Bang bang bang –

Even if you are in the royal palace.

Wei Youqu still felt a slight tremor.

"Change!"

Wei Youqu shouted, simply put on a big hat in the service of the palace maids, and then drove out of the palace.

The general Wang Kuang was in the city gate tower, and he came to his senses the moment the stone projectile fired by the stone thrower hit the city wall.

There was a sound of footsteps on the wall, and all the defenders were hunched down and weaving under the women's wall.

"The walls may be damaged!"

Wang Kuang asked loudly.

Through the horse's face, a North Korean general replied loudly.

"There are no gaps!"

"Yes."

Bang!

What else did the general want to ask?

Suddenly, a stone bullet smashed through the gap between the female wall and the female wall with precision as if it were a stroke of genius.

Blood splashed everywhere, and I was caught off guard without a trace of pain.
