Chapter 320 319. Siege

The actions of the new army made it clear that they were going to besiege the city.

The King of Korea and the ministers of Korea on the city wall all felt their hearts pounding.

In their eyes, before the Han army arrived in Pyongyang, what these people held was to use the tactic of holding on to the city to consume the food and grass supplies of the new army, so as to achieve the effect of subduing the enemy's troops without fighting and letting the new army know its difficulties.

And retreat.

But now, as soon as the siege posture was launched, these people were already a little panicked.

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

Since ancient times, the existence of the suzerain country has made them inherently fearful.

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

"Your Majesty, they are going to besiege the city, how about we do it?"

Some ministers were filled with panic.

The same goes for the King of Joseon, but as a king, he is better than these ministers.

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

"Yes, but the supply ship this time brought mostly grain and grass, and not many equipment parts. The latest trebuchet ballista cannot be assembled, and the original model can only be completed."

Even in the palace.

"Have the commander of the weapons command come here."

Although the New Army soldiers are not afraid, if there is a better way to capture Pyongyang City, why not use it?

Flags were waved, and Pyongyang city was surrounded on three sides.

"The city wall is damaged!"

A series of sirens sounded from the walls of Pyongyang City.

Not long after, the general left and returned, accompanied by another person.

The new army performed martial arts exercises every day, but they never made any offensive moves.

How can siege warfare be as easy as field warfare?

The civil servants and military leaders all said this, and the other Korean officials stopped talking. Although they were afraid of panic, they had not yet engaged in battle, so it was impossible to know the strength of the Han army.

On the city wall, all the North Korean ministers bowed their hands towards Wei Youqu.

From the actions of the new army, it was not difficult for the King of Korea to see their purpose.

North Korea is different from the Han army, and the city defense equipment is simply incomparable.

This time the Han army moved too quickly.

Everything inside and outside Pyongyang is peaceful.

The general handed over his hands, put the telescope back on his waist, and turned around to go out.

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

"We are surrounded by three and one. What they want is for us to run away. Don't be fooled, otherwise we will be doomed!"

"Change!"

"What!"

The nine roaring trebuchets were like hungry mandrills seeking their lives.

Sun Fu, the commander of the weapons training school, handed over his hand and walked away.

Wei Youqu gave a loud shout, simply put on a large cloak while being served by the palace ladies, and then drove out of the palace.

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

"Well, how many first-phase manipulators does your department have now?"

For several days in a row.

"promise!"

"promise!"

Without exception, the three armies are only assembling trebuchets.

"The Han army is attacking!"

"What you dear gentlemen said is reasonable, but we should not underestimate them. The territory of North Korea is already rugged. They were able to reach Pyongyang without our knowledge. It shows that most of them are elite soldiers."

He just had the idea of ​​coveting Liaodong, and after only making some adjustments, the Han army was able to arrive on the back foot, and it did so without anyone noticing in the rugged terrain of the Korean border.

Fortunately, now that the ministers are determined to fight, he feels more confident.

——

"General, the defenders on the city wall are taking action. It looks like they are determined to hold on."

A series of crackling sounds of the collision of boulders completely broke the silence of Pyongyang City!

Joseon Royal Palace.

Weiman Korea was originally founded by Weiman, a general under the command of King Lu Wan of Yan, so there were many Yan people and Qi people in Korea.

"Oh, it seems that they are some Yi Di who know a lot about tactics. Judging from the information collected by weaving a net, the King of Korea is the heir of a general under King Yan of the Han Dynasty. It is reasonable to have such ability, otherwise he would not covet the Liao land.

heart."

Hearing the call, Wei Youqu woke up from the gentle countryside wearing single clothes.

During this march, they carried no baggage, and everything was transported by the Logistics Group of the Marine Products Department.

The illusion of peace over the past few days disappeared at this moment.

The large crossbows they handle today are still the same style as those in the early Han Dynasty decades ago. Both the range and power cannot compare with the large yellow crossbows and Qianzhang crossbows of the Han Dynasty today.

King Wei Youqu of North Korea waved his hand and drove back to the palace.

Therefore, the trebuchets were steadily stopped a hundred steps away from the effective range of the city defense equipment.

Using binoculars and the good weather, almost all the personnel movements on the walls of Pyongyang City were clearly visible to the new army generals.

Wang Kuang asked loudly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Reporting to the General, we have 1,123 people in our unit, and 367 have completed the first phase of training."

General Wang Kuang was in the city gate tower. When the stone bullets fired by the trebuchet hit the city wall, he came to his senses.

The first batch of goods that arrived were mostly grain and fodder, and the parts were just brought along, so they could not allow the operators of the three armed forces to show their talents.

As for the Pyongyang City defenders, General Wang Kuang inspected them every day to boost morale, and Wei Youqu rewarded the entire army, so they looked like elite soldiers for a while.

"There is no gap in the seal!"

Wang Kuang, the North Korean general, stood with his hands raised: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether the Han army is sieging the city or not. We will wait and see. If this is a confusing move by the Han army, we will be able to see the clues in less than ten days."

Wei Youqu still felt a slight vibration.

In the early morning of the sixth day.

The people of these two countries are inherently tough and full of martial virtue. They have not yet engaged in battle, so they will not surrender easily.

And under this peace.

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

"Possibly building siege engines?"

The three armies in the rear are busy making siege equipment.

All this shows that the Han army is no longer the Han army he knew.

Youqu, the king of North Korea, looked at the orderly Han army formation below the city and nodded.

The new general of the First Army looked at the general: "Let the second and third armies synchronize."

"Your Majesty! The Han army is attacking!"

The new general of the First Army spread out a map of North Korea's territory and gave instructions to the general who came in to report.

Bang bang bang——

"Then let's cut down wood for construction and cut stone to prepare ammunition. The purpose this time is to put pressure on Pyongyang City. The original model should be enough."

There was a sound of footsteps on the city wall, and all the defenders were walking back and forth under the female wall.

North Korean ministers Han Yin and Nixi Xiangcan also said at the same time: "What General Wang said is reasonable, and I second my opinion."

In this cool morning.
