Tools are not invincible, but the spirit is invincible.
Just as Li Yuanxing said to Wu Bin, the real treasure of the Hundred Blades in the Qin Palace is not the one hundred steel knives, but the owner of these one hundred knives.
In the face of powerful tools, legions with extremely high will can also fight.
However, every generation has an absolute value.
In the face of absolutely powerful force, will must also give way to tools.
Eulji Mundeok was one of Goguryeo's best generals in the seventh century AD. His loyalty was definitely the strongest, and there was no one else. His troops were also the most elite troops in Goguryeo, and they had the most power among all the legions in Goguryeo.
, the best equipment, the most intense training, and the highest loyalty.
Niu Jinda stood about 250 steps in front of the city wall and signaled the heavy-shielded guards beside him to move away.
"Send the order, Divine Fire Flying Crow!"
What was that on the shelf? Eulji Wende didn't know. He turned back and looked at the two huge, hundreds of feet long flying boats suspended in the air. A feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart. The Tang Dynasty couldn't deal with it.
His city may have only used a little strength. He believed that the huge flying boat had more and more terrifying attack methods.
Such a divine object cannot be made just for the sake of looking good.
Suddenly, Eulji Wende's eyes changed: "Send the message, all the crossbows are ready, the crossbows are raised. The spearmen are ready, and the heavy shield soldiers are ready!"
Niu Jinda looked at the Goguryeo army whose morale was still high at the gate of the city. Murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "Send the message, there will be a hundred flying swallow fires. After the flying swallow fires, the flying crows will be released!"
Li Yuan, who was sitting on the Weiyuan, nodded seriously: "Goguryeo can defeat the former Sui Dynasty three times, and it is definitely not an ordinary person. Thinking about the Great Qin Crossbow Formation, even I would be a little unprepared when encountering it. Ulji Mundeok
This man is terrible. Six thousand soldiers were lost in a few breaths, but the morale of the remaining soldiers is still high. This man is a good general!"
"Humph!" Li Yuanxing snorted coldly.
"Don't Goro think this man is a good general?"
"It doesn't matter whether he is or not, we have countless good generals in the Tang Dynasty. Even if he surrenders to our Tang Dynasty and queues up at the door of General Tiance's mansion, he may not be mentioned. His soldiers are good. But he cannot do anything for our Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, whether it is his father's praise, approval, or feeling of pity, he will not survive!"
What Li Yuanxing said was the truth. Instead of refuting, Li Yuan fully supported it.
Eulji Mundeok was an excellent general, but he could not be called a hero, and there was no need to pity him.
Li Yuanxing added: "Father, the soldiers of Goguryeo are elite. Aren't our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty not elite? In terms of morale, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not weaker than them."
Li Yuan nodded again.
The attack in front of the city has begun. In modern times, the Feiyan Fire is just a toy. Its principle is the same as the flying monkey in the fireworks many years ago, but it is a little bigger. A small one is added at the front.
The bamboo tube was filled with kerosene.
The main body is one foot and a half long, plus the tail balance and the balance wings on both sides, it is only three feet long.
On the wooden frame, twenty-four pieces are placed in one frame, and they are all released at once. This is a flying fire swallow.
One hundred flying fire swallows are 2,400 attacks.
The cost of one Flying Fire Crow, plus the kerosene in front, is just a few tens of pennies. If one hundred were released, it would not be as much as the cost of one Vulcan Flying Crow, but the lethality was another story.
"put!"
Following Niu Jinda's order, more than two thousand flying fire swallows with very average accuracy flew all over the sky, but finally they all landed on the walls of Anshi City or within the city.
Facing this strange attack that flew around but could not kill anyone, Eulji Mundeok was confused whether the Tang army had failed or for some other reason.
While he was in a daze, ten strange bamboo birds that were like giant birds with one-foot-wide wings flew toward Anshi City. Their speed was so fast that many soldiers couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Bed crossbow, shoot that strange bird!" Eulji Wende shouted.
This is ancient times, not modern times. There is no efficient communication tool, it all depends on people shouting.
When the messenger passed the order down, the crossbowmen were ready after hearing the order. Only four crossbows on both sides of Eulji Wende were fired. Three of them missed the target, and one shot on the flying crow. Then
The flying crow deviated from its direction and exploded on the suspension bridge of the moat, burning with raging fire.
"Prepare to put out the fire!" Eulji Mundeok ordered loudly, and countless messengers also shouted after him.
Li Yuanxing, who was sitting on the Weiyuan, said calmly at this moment: "I hope they won't use water to put out the fire!"
"Wu Lang is wrong. Some Goguryeo soldiers have already carried buckets."
Li Yuanxing shook his head gently.
The flying crow is filled with oil, and some phosphorus has also seeped into it. Putting out the fire with water is a dead end.
The fire started, and the fifty-foot-long city wall was ignited with raging fire. Countless Goguryeo soldiers screamed and jumped down the city with their whole bodies in flames. Someone was pouring water, but the water made the fire seem to become bigger.
.
Eulji Munduk covered his chest and gritted his teeth: "Prepare for a civil war in the city!"
Niu Jinda knew very well how terrifying the sacred fire flying crow was. How many people were burned to death on the city wall. Only sand could put out the fire. But now was not the time to be merciful or sympathetic.
"Heavy artillery No. 1 and No. 2 will blow up the city gate. No. 3 and No. 4 will blow up the inner piles of the suspension bridge. The Great Qin Crossbow Formation, 10,000 people are ready. The auxiliary troops are ready to fill the river, the building vehicles, and the siege vehicles are moving forward!"
Now is the massive siege, with 20,000 auxiliary soldiers pushing carts and carrying sandbags and rushing forward.
With 10,000 powerful crossbowmen pressing down on the formation, Niu Jinda has nothing to fear. Even if you put out the fire on the city wall, another round of powerful crossbows will ensure enough time to fill the moat. Not to mention blowing open the city gate and lowering the suspension bridge.
, the soldiers who rushed over would not give the Goguryeo people a chance to scale the city wall again.
As for the civil war in the city, it can no longer be regarded as a fierce battle.
In the air, Li Yuanxing ordered: "Send the message, the Weiyuan is ready to accelerate, the target is Jian'an City!"
Feizhou left, and Eulji Wende felt endless despair for the first time. The Tang army captured the wall of his Xiongcheng without any effort. He believed that the civil war in the city would only increase the casualties of the Tang army, and there must be more Tang army.
More terrible means.
There was nothing he could do about the powerful crossbow array alone.
It doesn't matter who is sitting on the huge flying boat in the sky. Leaving at this time only means that the battle situation has been decided.
Unwilling to give in, Eulji Mundeuk turned around a few times and then loudly ordered: "Set the whole city on fire, burn the granaries, and prepare to leave the city to break out."
Li Yuanxing was sitting on the flying boat. He saw the actions in the city and asked: "Wu Bin, the Goguryeo people are preparing to burn the city to break out. Do you think I should leave like this at this time, or give General Niu a warning!"
"Wu Bin doesn't dare, Wu Bin knows he's guilty!"
"I'm not blaming you. I'm just asking. I helped General Niu at this time. As you said, it's the glory of the military!"
Wu Bin knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, I think we should remind you that Eulji Wende's escape will definitely affect Li Shangshu's overall layout. You will observe General Niu's siege formation, and if Eulji Wende escapes,
If Germany breaks through to the north, it will inevitably result in the death of at least five thousand soldiers."
"Have a good eye, order the Zhenyuan to seal off the escape route from Beicheng, and then tell Niu Jinda."
It would be foolish to leave a powerful war machine unused. Face is almost enough. At least Li Yuanxing thinks so. Wu Bin is not a rigid person. At the critical moment of the war, victory is more important than face. The lives of the sergeants
It is more important than face.
The Weiyuan kept its course unchanged, and the Zhenyuan moved north of Anshi.
With just this action, Niu Jinda knew that there might be changes in the city.
After all, the speed of the flying boat was faster than the reaction of Niu Jinda's men. Before Niu Jinda could give the order, a loud voice came from the air: "General Niu, the enemy is preparing to set fire to the city and then break out. Heavy troops have been gathered in the north city to avoid harming His Highness.
Ordered to seal off Beicheng!"
Sealed Beicheng?
When Niu Jinda was stunned, the Zhenyuan's warehouse door was fully opened, and no one was used to accurately drop the bombs at all. It was just a rainstorm style, with small trucks and the entire vehicle dumping the lit bamboo tubes down.
Fireballs like raindrops instantly covered all the military camps in the four cities north of Anshi City, and the neighborhoods were surrounded by a sea of flames.
"General Niu, say goodbye!" Wu Bin shouted in the air again.
Niu Jinda shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that if His Highness the King of Qin really took action himself, Anshi City would not be a problem at all. Pyongyang City was the capital of Goguryeo, and it could all fall in one morning, let alone Anshi City. This was only for himself.
It's just an opportunity for the infantry and cavalry troops to train.
"Send an order to break through the city gate. Guard inside the city gate to stop the attack. Release the air cavalry for reconnaissance."
Aerial riding is a hang glider. Niu Jinda believed that he needed to observe Anshi City from the sky, and then re-formulate an attack plan to ensure complete victory.
"Your Highness, Anshi City will be under complete control within three days." Lu Maofeng was also speaking to Li Yuanxing from the side.
Three days, Li Yuanxing nodded, this time is considered normal.
Control is different from destroying a city. It is easy to destroy a city, but it is not easy to control the whole city. It is impossible to kill everyone in the whole city. Surrenders must be allowed, and ordinary people must be suppressed and appeased. And there must be a certain number of Goguryeo soldiers.
There are also those who take off their military uniforms and flee to civilian homes to hide.
The most difficult thing is that Eulji Mundeok cannot escape and will definitely fight to the death.
The last battle in Anshi City was the street fighting in the city.
"After replenishing coal in Jian'an City, let's rest for a day. Tomorrow we will go see if Wunv Mountain City has been captured. From the south of Anshi City all the way to Beisha City, it would be best if we can persuade them to surrender. These places already belong to our Tang Dynasty, and there are less
Destroy it, otherwise it will cost money to rebuild in the future." When Li Yuanxing spoke, his eyes were no longer paying attention to Anshi City.
Li Yuanxing spoke without a word, Lu Maofeng just nodded stupidly, but a scribe took down Li Yuanxing's words. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
