my wife is mulan

Before he finished speaking, Jia Zhou was stabbed through the body with a knife.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, and the generals put away their weapons one after another, and a group of two began to carry the corpse. After a while, the corpse was cleaned up, and some soldiers came with buckets to wash away the blood. Exudes some bloody smell.

At daybreak, Gao Xu sent someone to send news that he had led his troops across the river and sent his troops to attack Xinchang southwest, while Yuchi Yandong was heading towards Liaodong City at this time.

After Zhao Junsheng got the report, he ordered to speed up the construction of the pontoon bridge. Although he could lead the army to cross the river, it would take a day. The construction of the pontoon bridge should not be abandoned halfway. This would ensure that the army's back road would be unimpeded, and the luggage could pass through the pontoon bridge continuously. Shipped to the front lines of combat.

Then there was an unfavorable news that the [-] soldiers led by Yuchi Yandong failed to attack Liaodong City, so they had to choose to attack by force.

Liaodong City is the original Xiangping City. After Goguryeo took it from Houyan, it was changed to Liaodong City. This is the county town of Liaodong County. , so the defense was strengthened.

"Go and tell Yuchi Yandong, tell him not to be impatient, let alone attack by force, and protect the soldiers when attacking the city, and don't make fearless sacrifices!" Zhao Junsheng gave an order to the messenger who reported the message.

"Yes, General!"

Three days later, Chang Kun rushed over with 6000 soldiers of the Yan Army. The [-] Yan Army has now changed its banner to the banner of the Youzhou Army, and the pontoon bridge has been laid at this time , can cross the river at any time. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

After the rendezvous of the two armies, Zhao Junsheng asked Chang Kun's troops to rest for a while, and ordered the whole army to cross the bridge and march towards Liaodong City the next day.

In a few days, they arrived at the city of Liaodong and joined Yuchi Yandong. At this time, Zhao Junsheng had nearly [-] troops in his hands, which can be described as strong and strong.

Zhao Junsheng made full preparations for the conquest of Yan State this time. He prepared a large number of artisans in the army. Large-scale siege equipment such as siege ladders, wheeled telescopic siege ladders, well rails, battering rams, trebuchets, and ballistas.

The technology of building these large siege equipment has been kept extremely secret in the past dynasties, and the custody of the blueprints is even directly in the charge of the royal family. Zhao Junsheng traveled from later generations, and he had some understanding of these siege equipment in his previous life. The craftsmen pondered based on these sketches and quickly produced the finished product.

By May 27, craftsmen had built a large number of siege equipment, and the Youzhou Army conscripted more than 1 people near Liaodong City to make stone bombs and large crossbow arrows.

Zhao

Junsheng ordered the siege.

Early the next morning, trebuchets were deployed in the army formation outside the city, and large crossbow carts, well rails, several kinds of siege ladders and battering hammers went into battle.

"Let's start, Yuchi Yandong, you are in charge of the attack. You have been delayed for several days, and you can't delay any longer. This general will give you three days at most. If you can't capture this Liaodong city within three days, I will Just change the commander!"

"Yes, General!" Yuchi Yandong agreed with a solemn expression.

He immediately rode his horse and ran to the front, and ordered: "The trebuchet launches—"

The net bags filled with stone bullets were thrown out by the huge wooden long arm, "Hoohoo..." Dozens of stone bullets soared into the sky and took off towards the towering city wall in the distance.

"What is that?" The Goguryeo man on the city wall raised his head and stared at the stone bullets that were hitting him.

"Bang bang bang..." A stone bomb may hit the outer wall of the city wall, causing the wall to vibrate; some hit the city wall, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were hit will instantly turn into meat paste, agitated. The stone bullets knocked down three or four people in a row, and smashed the inner parapet wall to pieces; even the stone bullets flew directly over the city wall and smashed down the houses in the city, causing heavy casualties to the Goguryeo people inside.

Faced with such a horrific and lethal stone attack, the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were scared to death. They had never seen such an attack method. How could they bear it psychologically? Hugging their heads and fleeing, many people dropped their weapons and went down the city wall and ran into the city.

"Bastard, come back, come back!" The guard yelled, but no matter how much he yelled, it was difficult for him to gather soldiers.

Yuchi Yandong, who was observing the effect of the stone bomb attack outside the city, was stunned to see the chaos on the city wall and the Goguryeo soldiers running away with their heads in their arms. He knew that the opportunity was rare, so he immediately made a decision: "Infantry attack the city!"

A large number of infantry rushed to the city wall with shields in one hand and waist knives in the other. A large number of people carried a three-foot-long log in front and laid it on the moat. When the infantry rushed over, the moat had already been paved with a large amount of wood. Flat land.

A series of siege ladders of various styles was erected on the city wall, and the generals climbed up with their hands and feet with swords in their mouths.

A wheel-type retractable siege ladder with a width of one foot was pushed under the city wall by the soldiers. The stretchable ladder was pulled up by the soldiers below with ropes and stretched to the top of the city wall. Four infantrymen lined up holding knives Shield stepped on the pedals of the ladder to rush to the city wall. This kind of wide and retractable siege ladder makes the siege climbing easier and the attack power is greatly increased. Operation, but once it is successfully erected on the city wall, the investment in the attacking force at the top of the city is absolutely appalling.

Ordinary siege ladders can only be climbed up one at a time, and you need to hold the ladder with your hands, but this kind of wide wheeled telescopic ladder can run up directly from the ground by stepping on the pedals, just like stepping on a stone ladder from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain. run the same.

Before the well fence was dispatched, a large number of Youzhou troops rushed to the city wall and killed the Goguryeo soldiers running around.

All the generals and officials of the Youzhou army outside the city were stunned. No one thought that the catapults and these siege ladders were so powerful that a wave of attacks even reached the top of the city.

Yuchi Yandong was overjoyed and punched his palm: "It's done!"

He immediately ordered: "Pass me the order, the second attack team will rush up!"

Another wave of Youzhou army infantry rushed towards the city wall with shield weapons in hand, continuously adding troops to the city wall.

The momentum of the Goguryeo soldiers has been taken away, and a large number of Youzhou soldiers who rushed to the top of the city gathered together and moved forward, cleaning up the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall.

It didn't take long for the city tower to be seized and controlled by the Youzhou army, and soon some Youzhou army soldiers opened the city gate.

Seeing this, Yuchi Yandong waved his hands and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me into the city!"

"kill--"

A large number of cavalry followed Yuchi Yandong from rushing towards the city gate, and soon rushed into the city, fighting towards the city lord's mansion, and then divided their troops to attack the other three city gates, armory, and treasury

.

In just one morning, the Youzhou Army not only broke through the city, but also quelled the chaos in the city, completely controlling Liaodong City.

At noon, Zhao Junsheng rode into Liaodong City with his guards and officials accompanying the army. He stopped at the gate of the city and looked up at the words Liaodong City on the city wall, and said to the officials around him: "From now on, we will be here today." The city will be restored to its original name, Xiangping City!"

"Yes, General!"

As soon as he entered the city, Zhao Junsheng saw a large number of Goguryeo soldiers who were about to be taken down from the city wall by Youzhou soldiers. He saw that there were quite a number of them, a total of five to six hundred people. If you count the other three walls, The number of captives captured by the City Lord's Mansion is probably no less than 600.

When Zhao Junsheng arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Yuchi Yandong greeted him.

"General, we found a storage point for supplies and ordnance in the city. The food, grass, and ordnance stockpiled are enough for 1 people for a year! In addition, we paid more than 600 Goguryeo soldiers!"

Yuchi Yandong's report made Zhao Junsheng very puzzled, "Why did Goguryeo and others hoard so much food, grass and military supplies here?"

Li Yuande stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "General, in my opinion, the Goguryeo people are afraid that they want to defend Xiangping City to block our army's attack. I suggest sending elite scouts to investigate in the direction of the inner city. If a large number of Goguryeo soldiers and horses come to Xiangping City , it proves that the lower official's guess is correct!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and thought that what Li Yuande said was reasonable, so he sent a scout pair to the inner city to investigate the movement of the Goguryeo army for the sake of caution.

Yuchi Yandong asked again: "General, what should we do with the captured Goguryeo prisoners?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Send someone to dig a big hole, and kill all the Goguryeo prisoners tonight!"

The military officials all looked at each other. Since ancient times, the killing of prisoners has been regarded as ominous. Zhao Junsheng ordered the killing of prisoners without any psychological pressure.

"It takes at least 2000 people to guard these captives, and a lot of food is wasted. Now it is within the sphere of influence of Goguryeo. We can't be distracted. If the guards are not strict, once these Goguryeo captives riot, the consequences will be disastrous!" Zhao Junsheng's words let The officers accompanying the army chose to remain silent.

Chapter 577

Before dark, a huge pit was dug in the low-lying area outside the city, and more than 600 Goguryeo soldiers and generals were driven into the pit and shot. ----Update fast, no anti-theft--

After dawn, the deep pit was buried, and the low-lying land was still low-lying land, but a new piece of soil appeared. Afterwards, although the people inside and outside Xiangping City discovered the difference here, they did not suspect that there was something under the ground in this low-lying land. More than 600 people were buried.

Zhao Junsheng got up early in the morning and practiced marksmanship several times outside the tooth tent in the camp outside the city. For more than an hour, he was sweating profusely. After sweating, his whole body was refreshed.

Putting on clean clothes, someone came to report just after breakfast: "General, General Gao Xu sent someone to say that he has led his troops to attack Xinchang, Anshi and Wenxian in a row. He was in Wenxian from a Goguryeo official. I learned from the mouth that Feng Hong and his party were in Pingguo City under the Goguryeo case, and it is said that Goguryeo is actively transferring Feng Hong and his party of more than [-] people to Anping, and General Gao asked whether he should send troops to attack Pingguo immediately?"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and ordered: "Send someone to tell Gao Xu to slow down his offensive a little bit, and wait for Feng Hong and his party to withdraw from Pingguo before attacking Pingguo!"
