Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 1033 God of War
In the domestic city, when Tang Jun arrived here, he stepped on the bones of his own city.

The closer he was to the inner city, Li Shimin felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

As the emperor of the Central Plains, it's fine for the people of the Central Plains to be killed by the surrounding small states. Li Shimin couldn't bear the fact that his bones were placed in Beijing to watch, and he couldn't bear it either.

In this city, the lord of the city is not Yuan Gai Suwen's confidant.

He's not even a member of Yuan's faction, he's even anti-Yuan's.

Ulchi Mundeok is regarded as the ancestor and the god of war by later generations and Goryeo Bangzi, who can't beat Goguryeo's eight shots.Because he defeated the [-] million army of the Sui Dynasty.

"Saint, please attack the city."

The one who spoke was Li Shimin's brother-in-law Xue Wanche, who married Li Shimin's fifteenth sister, Princess Danyang.

After Qin Qiong, Xue Wanche was the only brave general who could compete with Yuchi Xue. He had been staying in Chang'an as the deputy commander of the Yulin Army of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Xue Wanche had just finished speaking, and before Li Shimin could give any instructions, four more people stepped forward: "Your servant, please be the vanguard to attack the city."

The five of them unbuttoned their armor at the same time, only wearing close-fitting leather armor, and holding light shields and horizontal knives. This is the standard equipment for siege shield soldiers. Trapped camp.

These five people are all surnamed Xue, and they are brothers.

The eldest brother, Xue Wanshu, was injured and no longer a general. He is now the army commander of Yanzhou, in charge of logistics.

The second son, Xue Wanshu, was the general of Yingzhou, guarding the front line of Goguryeo.

The third son, Xue Wan, was the guard of Liaozhong City, leading the general of Zuo Tunwei, and also the front line guarding Goguryeo.

The fourth son Xue Wanche.The fifth son, Xue Wanbei, is now the deputy general of Baiwu Army of Shence Guard.

Li Jing stepped forward: "I invite the saints to allow the five generals Xue to lead the army to attack the city, but they are not allowed to be on the front line."

"You think I'm afraid of death when I wait for my brother." Xue Wanche gave Mao at that time, and yelled at Li Jing.

Li Jing was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "At that time, the 11th Army of the former Sui Dynasty, General Xue Shixiong, the commander of the No. 11 Army, Zuo Yiwei, led the army. Eulji Mundeok of Goguryeo asked to surrender several times, and General Xue had to send people to go there several times. Ask Emperor Sui, this time and again, gave Eulji Wende a chance to breathe, and set up a trap to kill the Ninth Army, No.[-] Army."

"I know."

Li Shimin naturally knew this history.

Li Jing bowed and said, "I think the five brothers of the Xue family can attack the city."

"allow."

Li Jing asked for instructions again: "I have checked, the general has 11 shells, thousands of cannons, and so far no cannon has been fired. Goguryeo has been pacified, so I suggest..." When Li Jing said this, the corners of his mouth revealed There was a trace of a cruel smile, which even made Xue Wanche tremble.

Sure enough, Li Jing said: "Fire all these shells to comfort General Xue and hundreds of loyal and brave generals. Hundreds of thousands of soul-destroying Koguryo soldiers are in heaven."

"Okay, the five sons of the Xue family obey the order."

"exist!"

"Go and set up the cannon formation. I want to watch the battle. If you can't show the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, you will be severely punished. If you can't comfort the heroic spirit, you will be severely punished."

"Leadership."

Li Jing Liumu has talked about the artillery formation of the generals several times, and I have heard Liumu describe the magnificence of thousands of artillery fires.

But many generals have not seen it.

This happened to be an opportunity for everyone to experience Datang's new fighting style.

The Tang army lined up and surrounded the city on all sides.

Li Shimin issued a decree and praised Ulchi Wendek's tricky way of using soldiers. Soldiers are deceitful. It is true to use the weakness of the former Sui Dynasty to attack, but killing prisoners piled up in Beijing. punish.

Ulchi Mundeok wrote back, saying that Zubencheng is the most important line of defense in Goguryeo, the most powerful city in the north of the Yangtze River, has underground water, enough food for five years, countless weapons and arrows, and even a million troops from the former Sui Dynasty could not attack Zubencheng. It is ridiculous that the 7 people of the little Tang Dynasty wanted to capture the city with 12 soldiers, [-] auxiliary troops defending the city, and [-] civilians.

The two sides scolded each other to boost the morale of their respective armies while actively preparing for battle.

Li Shimin asked Li Jing: "I'm wondering if it's necessary to adjust the Guanwu number to press the formation."

Li Jing replied: "Saint, 12 rounds of shells are piled up like a small mountain. I have heard Liu Concubine say several times that artillery is the god of war. Even if the artillery of the Tang Dynasty is still a baby, it cannot be resisted by cold weapons. If you fire 500 shells, or if the effect is not good, you will adjust your tactics. If you can’t win the city, you will be punished. If more than [-] people are killed or injured, you will be punished.”

"You let go and fight."

Li Shimin believed in Li Jing, and even more in Liu Mu's words about the God of War.

Artillery has artillery demonstrations, but it has never been used in war. This is the first time Datang used artillery to fight.

The Tang army formed an array, with artillery arrayed two miles outside the city wall, guarded by gunfire soldiers, heavy shield soldiers, and strong crossbow soldiers.

It was almost noon after the formation of the two sides, and the head of the Tang army began to deliver food to the front line, including wine, meat, snow-white rice, snow-white meat buns, and canned fruits.The soldiers of the Tang army were talking and laughing, and were eating lunch very easily.

The Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall only had dry food, and they looked nervously at the Tang army under the city wall.

At the end of lunch, the cavalry was ordered to hold the flag high and wave it as they ran.

This semaphore represents that the whole army wears ear protection.

The cork from the Mediterranean is of great value. Datang made countless earplugs, and then added cloth covers and cotton to make ear protectors used by soldiers of the Tang army.

Tang Jun commanded, drums, horns, gongs, flags, and gestures.

There are 200 people in each regiment, and at least four soldiers will be assigned to read the semaphore. When the battle is fierce, especially after the artillerymen wear earmuffs, they rely on semaphore and gestures to transmit orders.

There are 6000 cannons, [-] people who operate the cannons, [-] auxiliary soldiers to carry artillery shells, [-] guards with shield knives, muskets, and crossbows, [-] heavy armored cavalry, [-] flying cavalry, and [-] miscellaneous auxiliary soldiers.

4000 people form an army, plus 3 miscellaneous auxiliary soldiers for a total of [-] people, and [-] cannons.

There are also a few tiger squats under special circumstances. There are a thousand tiger squats that can be operated by the auxiliary soldiers, and a hundred Vulcan flying crows that are in charge of the shield swordsmen.

The Vulcan Flying Crow is a heavy incendiary bomb, and one Flying Crow is worth hundreds of shells, so Li Jing is reluctant to use it.

A quarter of an hour later, the orderly changed the flag, with a fiery red border and a pure white inside.

This is the banner before the White Tiger Army artillery is ready to attack, and then the commander-in-chief fires the first shot, and the regimental leaders fire the cannons, and then thousands of cannons are fired.

Xue Wanshu nodded his head, this is the honor bestowed by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

There was a loud noise, and Ulji Wende on the top of the wall was stunned for a moment. He thought it was an order for the Tang army to attack, but the Tang army did not move at all.

Soon, there was a sound on the wall, and a battlement broke and slid down.
