Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3421 Shameless Special

In the area of ​​"Little Chang'an" in the west city, under the bombardment of countless kerosene bombs, flames soared into the sky, black smoke rose, and the heavy snow in the world was melted before it hit the ground. Burnt to death, charred and carbonized corpses are everywhere, and the black section exudes a strange smell of meat that makes people want to vomit...

Under the impact of the heavy infantry, the Tang army's navy finally captured the city gate area, and the soldiers behind them poured into the city like a tide, and they attacked the city along the streets and alleys.From a long distance, they use muskets and thunderbolts to strike, while at close range, heavy infantry in heavy armor lead the way. Goguryeo soldiers hide in houses and attack with bows and arrows, and they will be blown up by a thunderbolt .

Without the defensive advantage of the city wall, the Goguryeo defenders could not organize an effective offensive when they really entered the street fighting. The Tang army was invincible.

After the Tang army captured the west city gate, completely controlled the area inside the city gate, and began to advance into the city, reinforcements formed by the last private soldiers, servants, and even prisoners organized by Jian Mucen arrived long after.As a result, these mobs who had not undergone much formal training and were seriously lacking in armor were scattered by the heavy infantry of the Tang Army after just meeting each other.

The morale of the Tang army sailors who rushed into the city soared. While occupying the city wall and clearing out the remnants of the defenders, they marched towards the central area of ​​Pingrang City under the opening of the heavy infantry.Along the way, small groups of Koguryo soldiers came to intercept and block them, but they all quickly collapsed under the offensive of the Tang army, allowing the Tang army to drive straight in.

It is true that the defenders in Pingrang City were short of troops, and all the elites went north to pursue the Tang army. The master's mighty and unparalleled combat power is the key to being able to be so powerful.

The heavy infantry led the way, and the Goguryeo army, which lacked heavy ordnance, could not possibly inflict damage on them. They could only watch these hard-wearing "iron men" rampage all the way, as if entering no one's land.Musketeers and sword and shield players followed closely behind. Enemies who were a little further away fired with muskets, and when they were a little closer, they were bombarded with shocking thunder. The elite "Wang Zhuang Army" is also difficult to beat its edge.

Under the heavy snow all over the sky, the Tang Army navy rushed all the way, heading straight for the palace.

The entire western half of Ping Rang City was completely in chaos. First, kerosene bombs fell from the sky and ignited most of the houses. Many merchants, officials, and common people had to hide in the street in the heavy snow while they were burned to death.Immediately afterwards, the Tang army blew up the city gate and broke into the city. The defenders were powerless to resist, and the crowd who had no time to retreat ran around in the street.

General Jian Mou Cen, who was defeated by the Tang army at the first sight, was brightened, and quickly ordered the few remaining soldiers under his command to set up a defensive line along the street, driving the chaotic crowd to rush in the direction of the Tang army's attack.

In his mind, the Han people have always flaunted morality, and the "teacher of benevolence and righteousness" is the consistent image of the Han army. Although it is in a state of war, the Tang army can't slaughter unarmed civilians, right?

If the Tang army ignores the civilians and attacks all, then its title of "teacher of benevolence and righteousness" will disappear from then on, and it will be slandered and questioned by the whole world, which will have a great impact on the strategy of the Tang Dynasty to subdue the barbarians; If you dare to let go of the massacre, then these panicked ordinary people will overwhelm the formation of the Tang army. At that time, they may organize a counterattack by themselves, and they may not be incapable of fighting.

There is no need to annihilate the Tang army, but only to delay the return of the elite cavalry who pursued the main force of the Tang army to the north.

……

Xi Jun bought a helmet and armor, held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and marched towards the palace closely behind the hoplites. The smooth progress of the battle made him a little excited.

Right now, the defense in Ping Rang City is empty, and the defenders in front of them are all mobs, unable to compete with the elite navy soldiers, and the navy's tyrannical tactics are even more invincible.Just rush into the palace and capture alive Yuan Gai Suwen who has just ascended the throne as king... That would be the achievement of destroying the country and capturing the king!
Throughout the ages, apart from "Le Shi Yanran" and "Sealing the wolf to live in Xu", this attack of destroying the country and capturing the king is the most important!

The governor, Su Dingfang, naturally deserves a duke of the country, and he must also be able to become a marquis because of his meritorious service, and shine in history...

It's not that Mr. Xi is superficial, and soldiers should aim at military merit. Whether defending the country or expanding the territory, if there is no heart to strive for merit, how can they be brave and fearless?
However, the longing was still circling in my mind, and I saw countless poor people in ragged clothes and pale faces, and slaves poured over from the other side of the street, and the Goguryeo defenders brandished their weapons behind them to drive them away.

Xi Junmai understood the enemy's sinister intentions in an instant, but he also fell into entanglement...

The soldiers around were also a little confused, asking one after another: "General, what should we do?"

Even a big soldier knows that "slaughtering civilians" has always been shamed by the world. No matter how great the military exploits are, once they are involved in this crime, they will often end badly.It’s fine if it’s Hulu Yidi. After all, there is no way that morality is no different from animals. Even the initial anger and grievances should be done. However, the Han people have advertised "benevolence and righteousness" since ancient times. How can they raise the butcher's knife against unarmed civilians?

They don't even get over the hurdle in their hearts...

Xi Junmai was also sweating profusely, but if he didn't give an order, he would see these panicked Goguryeo civilians rushing forward and breaking up his formation. It is impossible to suffer a big loss.

It just so happened that there was a scream beside him, and a musketeer was shot in the neck by a cold arrow from nowhere, and fell to the ground.

A flash of light flashed in Xi Junmai's mind...

He immediately ordered people to carry the corpses of several Tang soldiers who died in battle, and threw them vigorously into the crowd of Goguryeo civilians rushing towards them, but people shouted: "Attention everyone, there are enemy troops mixed in these civilians!"

"Goguryeo is despicable and shameless, using ordinary people as a shield!"

"Drive the civilians to sneak attack on our army, Yuan Gai Suwen is a thief who steals the country, you are shameless!"

Jian Mou Cen, who hid in the distance and commanded the soldiers to drive the civilians towards the Tang army array, immediately yelled that it was not good!Didn't Tang Jun put the responsibility on his own side by doing this?He urged the people to use the people's bodies as a cover, and used the "benevolent and righteous teacher" of the Tang army to attack and kill the Tang army in close proximity... This not only made him notorious for thousands of years, but also made the Tang army get rid of the disadvantaged situation.

Even though there are civilians in front of them, since the Goguryeo army mixed in with the civilians and attacked and killed the Tang army, they can't still ask the Tang army to maintain "benevolence and righteousness" and not fight back even if they die?
Sure enough, after Tang Jun shouted so loudly that everyone could hear clearly, there was a burst of thunderous gunfire, and puffs of gunpowder smoke spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, turning into a cloud of black clouds rising up over the Tang Jun formation.

"Kill kill kill!"

"Hu Lu is cunning and pretends to be a commoner!"

"Kill me, Paoze, and pay with blood!"

"kill!"

The heavy infantry in the front rushed into the crowd of Goguryeo civilians, slashing and killing them with horizontal knives as if they were practiced, blood and flesh flew across the body, and the stumps were thrown, and they attacked the unarmed Goguryeo civilians like a tiger entering a flock. Ruthless slaughter.

The muskets, crossbows, and thunderbolts behind them were fired together, and the civilians driven by the Goguryeo army experienced a baptism of blood and fire. Countless civilians screamed and fell in a pool of blood, their heads were disemboweled in different places .

When the Tang army's heavy infantry, bloodied and slaughtered through the crowd, came in front of the Goguryeo defenders who were driving behind them, these soldiers looked at the demon-like infantry of the Tang army in front of them, and their faces were green and their lips were white. I don't know who suddenly made a cry Shouting, everyone dropped their weapons in an instant, turned around and ran away.

The navy of the Tang army rushed forward like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and only when they reached the gate of the palace did they encounter the blocking of the imperial guards around Yuan Gai Suwen.

In Goguryeo, the "Wang Zhuan Army" is not only the trump card. As the imperial guards of the Goguryeo kings in the past, even if Yuan Gai Su Wen's collection and transformation of the "Wang Zhuan Army" is thorough, it is inevitable that there are people who are loyal to the Gao family. , if it is kept by the guard's side, it is inevitable that there will be too many hidden worries.

Therefore, in addition to the "Wang Zhuan Army", there is still a real confidant guard, with a number of more than [-] people, who are always by the guard's side, powerful and loyal.

Now that the Tang army has already attacked the gate of the palace, Yuan Gai Suwen had no choice but to put this most trusted and last armed force into battle...
