The crossing starts from the Datang Shuanglong

Chapter 134
Goguryeo is poor!
After setting foot on the land of Goguryeo, most of the scenery seen along the way was barren. Half of the fertile fields that had been cultivated were covered with weeds. Among the several villages passed by on the road, most of them were women and children. presence of adult men.

If Shan Meixian followed Chu Tianxiu all the way, maybe she would feel a little bit moved because of her kindness, but it was also because Chu Tianxiu knew this, so this expedition was called an expedition, but it was actually a robbery. He didn't call her to come with him, and this kind of visually impactful scene was not enough to arouse Chu Tianxiu's kindness and emotion too much.

In today's Great Sui Dynasty, the scenery south of the Yangtze River is indeed better, but on the land north of the Yangtze River, the predicament here is almost exactly the same, and it is even more precarious there. , the road is full of tragic scenes of half-buried bones.

Just as Chu Tianxiu thought, Emperor Sui Yang's three wars against Goguryeo had almost wiped out the family property of the Great Sui Dynasty, but the situation in Goguryeo was also extremely difficult. The people's livelihood was already withered and extremely bleak. , Adult men have either died in battle, or are still guarding against the Sui army in Liaodong, and almost only have their last breath left.

Even though it is not far from Pyongyang, the imperial capital of Goguryeo, this does not mean that it will be a little more peaceful here.

The route Li Jing chose to attack Goguryeo was not his own creation, but he also chose this route by referring to the experience of his predecessors.

In the eighth year of Daye, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty personally conquered Goguryeo. In the Sui Dynasty, Dajiang Laihuer led [-] sailors from Weishui to go directly to Goguryeo. After defeating the Goguryeo army sixty miles away from Pyongyang, they went straight to the city of Pyongyang.

If it hadn't been for the Goguryeo army's feigned defeat in that battle, after the future guards were introduced into the city, "Master Yijian" Fu Cailin personally shot, and after severely injuring Lai guards, the Goguryeo ambush soldiers took the opportunity to fight out and defeated the Sui army.

Otherwise, with Hu'er's ability to lead the army, he would almost directly break through the Goguryeo royal city and destroy the country.

"It's so miserable! I'm a little doubtful now that this poor place in Goguryeo will be able to find enough oil and water to squeeze out after a large number of people from the Qiangmenmeng come over."

After Chu Tianxiu looked at the barren and desolate scene along the way, he felt a little headache and couldn't help but said worriedly.

Even if there is some meat on the mosquito's legs, after looting the villages along the way, his army did plunder hundreds of people, and it will probably help him fill up one or two islands in the future, but if this harvest alone, Even the consumption of his marching all the way can't compare.

"Don't worry, my lord. The poor livelihood of the people here is mostly due to the soldiers passing by the general a few years ago. However, in a few hours at most, we can send troops to Laikou. There has not been a war for hundreds of years, and there must be some stock. , don’t worry about it.”

It seems that Li Jing was very satisfied with destroying the Goguryeo navy and setting foot on the land of Goguryeo, so he seemed to be in a much better mood, and explained to Chu Tianxiu.

Changkou is located at the estuary of the Neihui River in Goguryeo, south of Pyongyang, not far from the capital of Pyongyang. In fact, even if Chu Tianxiu went straight to Pyongyang regardless of the situation of the city, it would not hinder him.

No matter how arrogant they were, Chu Tianxiu and Li Jing would not really think that they could break through Pyongyang, the royal capital of Goguryeo, with the strength of their troops, so they took down a big city here first, and plundered the city's wealth and wealth. Food and grass, just now is the most important thing.

After continuing to march like this for about two hours, they finally approached the city of Changkou and stopped at a place not more than two miles away from this moment.

This city is not the main city of Goguryeo, so the city wall is not too high, maybe even less than two feet.

Chu Tianxiu looked at it with his eyes and clearly saw that the building seemed to have received the wind, and it looked rather jittery. Not only was the city gate closed, but there were archers and soldiers walking back and forth on the city wall. Now there is no room for a sneak attack.

"Chu Xin, you lead thirty whale hunters and take twenty barrels of "City Breaking Thunder" to attack the city!"

It was only a quarter of an hour of repairs outside the city, which made the soldiers under his command take a breath, and Chu Tianxiu gave orders.

"As ordered!"

After Chu Xin made a promise, he greeted him, led thirty whale hunters, mixed with more than 500 warriors in all kinds of leather armor and held steel knives, and rushed towards the city gate. .

The impact of their line made the Goryeo soldiers on the tower look very strange, because this group of Sui soldiers (in the eyes of Goguryeo, Chu Tianxiu's group is naturally the Sui army) did not hold ladders or hooks in their hands. Lock, San didn't take the ram, just rushed straight to the city gate, it looked a bit weird, and it seemed like he was looking for a dead end.

how?Could it be that you all want to attack the city physically? Except for their military god Fu Cailin, there is probably no other person in this world who can have such an ability!

But even if they didn't know why, the guards on the city wall couldn't just let them rush over directly, and suddenly arrows rained down in the direction of those warriors, knocking over a dozen of them on the spot.

But just for a while, the thirty whale hunters who were dressed differently from others, wore whale skin armor, and held a round wooden barrel weighing more than 30 kilograms each without weapons in their hands gathered together. Under the city gate, after Chu Xin gave an order, he hurriedly took out the tinder he had prepared on his body, used it to ignite the fuse on the wooden barrel in his hand, and threw them under the city gate one after another.

"retreat!"

Seeing the fuses on the wooden barrels burning fast, Chu Xin hurriedly gave the order, and rushed back with the whale hunter and soldiers behind him. He looked in the direction of the city gate.

"boom!"

Their strange actions naturally made the soldiers on the city gate very surprised, and there was a lot of discussion, wondering what strange things this group of "Sui soldiers" were doing.

But before they reached a conclusion, they heard a deafening roar from the city gate, shaking them all under their feet for a while, and staggered involuntarily.

"The city is broken!"

The voices were different, the tone was different, and the mood was different, but the two voices with the same meaning came from above and below the city gate respectively. After Chu Xin took his long spear from his back in silence, he took the lead in the front. He rushed in the direction of the city gate!
"The city gate is broken, let's kill the enemy together!"

The soldiers under Chu Xin naturally knew what he meant, so they all roared loudly, followed closely behind his Chu Xin, and rushed in towards the hole in the city gate that was blasted by the explosives. Killed the Goguryeo soldiers at the gate of the city, and killed them in the direction of the city lord's mansion.

In just three quarters of an hour, the shouts of killing in the city changed from hustle and bustle to silence, and all the Goguryeo soldiers in the entire city were taken down, with no power to fight back.
