Sui is a thing for making fire. A fire maker for a fortress is also called a sui. Liao Sui was originally a beacon tower. Later, the population gradually became denser and it gradually became a city. It is still called Liao Sui and is also called Liao Tunnel. For people coming from the sea or the west
The enemy, Liao Sui City is still the external defense line of Xiangping City, and its function is very similar to that of a beacon tower.
Yang Zuo and Gongsun Xiu thought of Wei Ba's famous weapon, Fiery Bomb, and the siege tactics that had changed because of him. They couldn't help but think of the name of Liao Sui City, and they looked at each other with astonishment.
As the saying goes, people can scare people to death. But the effect of scaring people is far less effective than scaring yourself. People's imagination is infinite, and the rumors are a bit exaggerated to begin with. Add to it the exaggeration of your own imagination, and it will come naturally.
An inhuman realm.
Therefore, Wei Shenjiang's fame came out to help at the right time, further pushing the effect to the extreme.
"Luoyang... we didn't capture it." Yang Zuo muttered with dry lips, but his confidence was seriously lacking.
"Luoyang originally had water, but it was Emperor Guangwu who changed it to Luoyang for the sake of Huode. After all, human life could not resist the destiny of heaven, and the fire of Luoyang was extinguished by Luo water." Gongsun Xiu said to himself: "The name Liao Sui
Too bad, the Sui people are just making fire. The Liao people are just running away to a distant place. Could it be a sign that my father and son are going to escape into the wild wilderness?"
After all, Yang Zuo was a general who had led troops for many years. He quickly controlled his mind and reminded: "Prince, the war is about to begin. Don't let yourself lose your prestige. Don't say these words outside."
Gongsun Xiu nodded and said frustratedly: "General, I'll leave the Liao Sui to you. I have to rush back to Xiangping and report to my father. Without reinforcements, we won't be able to support it for long, so we need to make preparations early."
Yang Zuo didn't say much, nodded, and sent elite cavalry to escort Gongsun Xiu out of the city.
Wei Ba set up a formation outside Liao Sui City. Three years ago, he had been to Liao Sui. Although he did not attack the city, he got to know the surrounding environment. Liao Sui was on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Daliao River.
It flows west from the south of the city. It turns north at the southwest corner. It makes a circle and then goes west again. The south bank of Daliao River is a mountainous hilly area, and the north bank is a fertile alluvial plain. To attack the city, normal conditions
The next step is to attack the city from the north, because only here the terrain is open and we can set up our battle array.
After discussing with the generals, Wei Ba made a unique arrangement. He decided to take advantage of the warships to forcefully break through the defense line of Liaosuicheng and use the ship-borne thunderbolt vehicles to launch fire bombs to attack Liaosuicheng.
A large number of infantry were arranged in the open area to the north of the city, ready to storm the city wall.
Yang Zuo knew that Wei Ba's warships were powerful, so he set up obstacles in the lower reaches of the Daliao River in advance, buried a large number of wooden piles, and scuttled several large ships filled with stones to block the Daliao River.
It is said that warships with very deep drafts cannot pass even ordinary large ships.
Yang Zuo's plan cannot be said to be imprudent, but he still underestimated the difficulties he faced. For Wei Ba, it was too easy to clear out the little things in the river. Feng Jin and Zhuge Wen both had operations in this regard.
Experience. Feng Jin did such a thing in the Han River in Xiangyang, and Zhuge Wen also spent a day and night in the Battle of Pengcheng three years ago to clear the obstacles in the Surabaya River outside Pengcheng.
Wei Ba ordered Zhou Yin to lead the infantry to the south bank of the Daliao River, then march eastward and set up a crossbow position in the concave zone formed by the turn of the Daliao River, while Zhang Wei formed an array on the north bank to block the Yan army who might come for reinforcements, and then
Order Feng Jin and Zhuge to start clearing the obstacle.
In the final analysis, debris removal is to use the principles of buoyancy and leverage to re-lift a ship that has sunk in the river. This kind of work is a big problem for those who can only use brute force, but for the baggage camp craftsmen who are proficient in mechanical technology
For the divisions, there is no difficulty at all. There is no need for giant ships to go into battle. Ordinary building ships can easily solve these problems.
The project progressed very quickly. In just one day, Wei Ba cleared more than half of the obstacles prepared by Yang Zuo. The speed was so fast that Yang Zuo was frightened. Yang Zuo did not intend to sit still and wait for death. He sent his soldiers in small boats.
They were preparing to attack the Shu Han troops who were working, harassing, killing, and delaying their progress. Naihe faced Zhou Yin and Zhang Wei who were lined up between the rivers, and faced the concentrated fire of the crossbow carts that were ten and a hundred times sharper than the crossbows in their hands.
The Yan army suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat to Liaosuicheng in embarrassment.
Three days later, Wei Ba re-opened the Daliao River, and the warship sailed along the Daliao River to the foot of Liao Sui City. The tall warship was higher than the city wall. Standing on the city wall, you could not see the situation on the warship, but from now on.
As you can imagine from the transport ships that shuttled back and forth, there were countless continuous ballistas and thunderbolt vehicles on the warships, and the weapons used on the thunderbolt vehicles were probably not ordinary stone bullets, but the notorious fire bombs.
After everything was ready, Wei Xing came to Liao Sui City again and stood in front of Yang Zuo. There were not many greetings, only one sentence:
"Will you surrender or not?"
Yang Zuo smiled bitterly: "My brothers have been greatly favored by the Gongsun family. How can we surrender without a fight?"
Wei Xing nodded: "Although the general is stupid, he is still loyal. After this battle, if I can find your whole body, I will give you a generous burial."
"Thank you." Yang Zuo bowed deeply.
Wei Xing went out of the city and informed Wei Ba of the result, who immediately ordered the siege to begin.
"Beat the drums and attack the city!"
"Here." The messenger loudly promised, waving the colorful flags in his hands, and issued the order to attack. Twenty drummers stood in front of the cowhide drum as tall as one person, with their upper bodies bare, revealing their knotted muscles. After receiving the order, they immediately waved
The tambourine was raised and the big drum was beaten.
"Dong! Dongdong! Dongdongdong! Dongdongdongdong!" The sound of war drums suddenly exploded, causing clouds to fly and the Liao River to tremble.
"Bing Camp...get ready! Camp A...launch!" Lieutenant Liehuo raised the sword in his hand and roared loudly.
"Fire!" the gunner shouted, raised the wooden hammer in his hand high, and smashed it with all his strength. The wooden hammer hit the hook with a loud "boom", and the counterweight box sank suddenly, filled with fire.
The bounced basket flew into the sky.
Around Liao Sui City, more than 500 thunderbolt chariots roared in unison, and the fire bombs were like swarms of bees, with an ominous buzzing sound, and rushed towards the head of Liao Sui City.
The veterans from three years ago either died in battle or retired, and those who remained were all promoted to officials. Their task was to issue commanders, and no longer personally operated thunderbolt chariots to attack the city. Most of the soldiers responsible for the siege were newly recruited soldiers.
They have been training for more than a year, and have long been familiar with the operation of the Thunderbolt Car, and are also familiar with the performance of fire bombs, but this is definitely the first time for such a large-scale salvo, and the spectacular scene alone makes people excited.
Shaken, blood boiling.
The clay pot flew over a distance of two to three hundred steps, flew over the moat, flew over the city wall, and flew over the heads of the Yan army. Under the horrified gaze of the Yan army, it exploded at the top of the city, exploded under the city, and fell in front of them.
Exploded around.
Wisps of white smoke appeared and soon turned into open flames, licking up all the combustibles around them.
The firewood piled up on the city wall burned, the hay for cooking burned, the fodder for the livestock burned, the shirts burned, the battle flags burned, everything that could be ignited began to burn.
At the beginning, the Yan army ran to put out the fire, pouring it with water, beating it with their clothes, and stamping it out with their feet. But they soon discovered that all this was in vain. Their speed of putting out the fire could not keep up with the fire bombs.
Speed. When they stamped out one fire, ten more fires and hundreds of fires began to burn. Not only the fire, but also the thick and choking white smoke made their throats sting, they could not breathe, and tears flowed down until they convulsed.
He fell to the ground and was ignited by the flames, turning into a more intense fire.
Liao Suicheng is burning.
Wei Ba didn't even shoot an arrow, nor did he let his infantry launch an attack on the city. He just let five hundred thunderbolt chariots fire for half an hour, turning Liaosuicheng into a sea of smoke and flames, which could never be seen again.
A soldier who can still stand on the wall and prepare to fight.
All the officers and soldiers of the Yan army were either burned to death or choked to death, or they hid in blind corners or sheltered areas. They soaked their shirts or other cloths with water or urine, covered their mouths and noses, and opened their eyes with tears.
eyes, looking at the burning Liao Suicheng in horror.
Yang Zuo's beard and hair were all smoked off, and the city wall where he was hiding was also set on fire. Standing on the burning city wall, he drew his sword and sighed.
"Yang has the responsibility to defend the territory and be loyal to King Yan. Please open the door, surrender and escape."
After saying that, he stabbed himself with a knife. A bloody arrow spurted out from the side of his neck and shot a foot away.
The guards cried loudly, but no one had the intention to resist. They just dragged Yang Zuo's body away from the fire to avoid being burned. In the face of such an offensive, no one had the will to resist. The opponent was not them at all.
Being able to resist is beyond the scope of human beings.
Wei Ba is a divine general, and he proved his return with a fire.
Amidst the fireworks, a white flag fluttered in the wind. First, one person was shouting, then ten people, hundreds of people were shouting, and then the entire Liaosui City was shouting.
"Surrender, surrender, we surrender!"
Outside the city, the faces of the Goguryeo troops watching the battle were pale. Gong Duan was sitting on his horse, but his legs were trembling, and his eyes were staring straight, reflecting the fireworks of Liao Sui City. He did not have many opportunities to meet Wei Ba.
, I only know that Wei Ba often smiles gently, and almost never sees him getting angry, nor can he see the dignity that a god general should have. He is somewhat doubtful about the legend three years ago.
However, he no longer doubted it. He was glad that he only met Guan Qiu Jian and not Wei Ba. Otherwise, he didn't know if he would have a chance to surrender.
Man cannot fight against God.
Suddenly, Gong was so blessed that he raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "The general is mighty!"
The Goguryeo army was stunned for a moment, then came back to their senses, and followed the palace to roar loudly. They began to use their own language, and soon switched to the language of the Han people. Although it was not so standardized and sounded a bit awkward, the awe contained in it was
It couldn't be more clear.
Soon, the entire battlefield resounded with the same roar.
"God will be mighty!"
