It has to be said that after so many years of construction, the Great King City is indeed a majestic city.
Even if it is placed in Datang, it also belongs to the type that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It not only has a high city wall, but also has a moat several feet wide. It is said that when the city was built, the guard specially promulgated a rule in order to let the craftsmen work hard.
After the city wall was built, the soldiers were ordered to hammer it with a sledgehammer.
If the city wall is not damaged, kill the soldiers; if the city wall is damaged, kill the artisans.
Under such rules, any craftsman who dared to cut corners was desperately trying to save his life.
After the completion of Dawangcheng and Anshi Fortress, the King of Koryo once said triumphantly that these two cities alone could block the Tang army for a year.
In fact, this is true in history as well.
When Li Shimin made his first expedition to Korea, he was blocked under Anshi City for nearly a year, and he had to withdraw his troops until winter came.
When the troops were withdrawing, the guards of Anshi City still sent Li Shimin respectfully on the top of the city, and Li Shimin also praised the soldiers and civilians of Anshi City, which can be described as sympathetic to each other.
It's just that this time the siege was replaced by Li Wenbin, who didn't talk about martial arts, so he didn't care so much. If he was blocked by this city for a year, it would be too late to do anything.
He has been out for a long time, and he misses Cui Yan and Ruyue at home very much, and wonders how Ruyue, who was pregnant when he left for the expedition, is doing now.
So what Li Wenbin is thinking about now is to conquer the entire Korean peninsula as soon as possible, and completely erase this nation that has caused a lot of trouble to the Central Plains Dynasty before and after.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Wenbin didn't think about using any conventional methods of attacking the city. He just used archers to suppress the head of the King's City, and then ordered the soldiers to pile up the refined oil under the city wall.
In the end, a rocket solved everything.
The fire caused by the deflagration and the subsequent big explosion almost blew up a wall of the Great King City, and almost all the officers in the city died under the explosion.
In this way, the next siege became much easier.
The Tang army that rushed into the King's City easily defeated the leaderless defenders, and according to Li Wenbin's order, they did not leave a single prisoner.
It took countless manpower and material resources, and Koryo for several years, and it was expected to block the Tang army for a year, but it was destroyed after blocking it for only one day.
Because this city is purely for military purposes, there are no civilians in the city, which makes Li Wenbin's heart a lot less burdened.
In this battle, Koryo lost 5 people, while the Tang army only suffered hundreds of casualties.
The news that Dawangcheng was blown down quickly spread to Korea, and the whole country of Korea was shocked.
But before they sent reinforcements, the Tang army led by Li Wenbin had already arrived in Anshi City.
Anshi City has not been completely built as in history, because of time constraints, only the city wall can be completed, and the defensive facilities such as the moat have not been completed at all.
For the Tang army led by Li Wenbin, this was very simple. It still took no more than a day to break through Anshi City.
Since then, the Tang army has driven in without encountering any obstacles.
Although on the road from time to time, you can encounter some resistance from the Koryo army, it's just a mantis' arm as a cart, and there is nothing to fear at all.
More than ten days later, Tang Jun came to Pyongyang, the royal city of Koryo.
At this time, Pyongyang had gathered all the Goryeo troops, and the Goryeo king clamored to let the Tang army, like the former Sui army, suffer an unforgettable defeat here.
On the first day, General Koryo led troops to take the initiative to attack, but was easily defeated by Qingqi led by Zhang Liang. The Koryo army killed [-] cavalry, and the Tang army only suffered more than [-] casualties.
The next day, the King of Goryeo stood on the top of the city in person, beating drums to cheer for the Goryeo army.
And this time, the Koryo army was also dispatched in full force, mobilizing [-] cavalry and [-] infantry at one time.
When Li Wenbin heard about it, he was overjoyed and ordered the archers of the whole army to shoot tens of thousands of rockets, and launched a fire attack on the Koryo army.
This time, except for the [-] Korean troops who escaped quickly and hid back in Pyongyang, the other [-] troops were all killed in battle.
The Tang army suffered more than ten casualties...
At this point, the morale of the Koryo army was completely destroyed.
……
"Sir, shall we attack the city tomorrow?"
Seeing that he was about to get the credit for splashing the sky, Zhang Liang was so excited that the scars on his face flushed red: "This is to destroy the country of Korea, but it is something that the former Sui Dynasty did not do!"
There is nothing wrong with what Zhang Liang said. If Goryeo can be destroyed, then his promotion to the Duke of the State is a certainty, and from then on he can become a hero of the Tang Dynasty, which can be said to be a glorious ancestor.
And Hou Junji also lost his usual calmness. Although he didn't speak, he looked at Li Wenbin extremely urgently.
Wei Zheng, on the other hand, had a different opinion: "Chief Manager, I feel that it is not appropriate to attack the city now."
"Master Wei, what do you mean?" Zhang Liang was not happy when he heard it. Of course you don't care if you are already the Duke of Zheng, but I am only a Duke of Changping County. Aren't you blocking my official career? 10,000+ were wiped out by our army, and this Pyongyang will be able to go down in one go."
"But you said at this time that you want to stop the siege?"
Judging by Zhang Liang's appearance, if Wei Zheng didn't give a perfect explanation at this time, he would definitely not let it go.
"What are you shouting for?"
Li Wenbin's face darkened, and his eyes when looking at Zhang Liang became unkind.
After being stared at by him, Zhang Liang suddenly came to his senses, broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly knelt down on one knee: "The general is rude, please forgive me. The general is just..."
"General Zhang, you don't need to say any more. The chief executive naturally understands how you and Lu Guogong are feeling. But the closer to the critical moment, the more you have to hold your breath."
Hearing Li Wenbin's mature and prudent words, Wei Zheng was relieved. He was also worried that Li Wenbin would not be able to withstand the temptation of meritorious service and would attack the city without hesitating casualties.
"As far as the general manager knows, all the people of Koryo are soldiers. There are a total of 50 troops in the country. We have only wiped out 15. What about the remaining 30?"
"This mere city of Pyongyang doesn't seem to be able to accommodate more than 30 troops, right?"
After hearing Li Wenbin's words, Zhang Liang and Hou Junji broke out in a cold sweat.
"What if there are people in Koryo who know how to fight, leaving 25 guards, and another [-] lying in ambush where we can't see it?"
"When the time comes when our army attacks the city, the Goryeo army that is in ambush will suddenly come out and kill us by surprise. If that is the case, then this city of Pyongyang will be the place where you and I will be buried!"
Zhang Liang took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to Li Wenbin and Wei Zheng: "The general knows his mistake."
Even if it is placed in Datang, it also belongs to the type that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It not only has a high city wall, but also has a moat several feet wide. It is said that when the city was built, the guard specially promulgated a rule in order to let the craftsmen work hard.
