Chapter 942 Desire

Originally, the morale of the defenders was low when they were intimidated by the artillery. Although the artillery had stopped attacking now, seeing that the Tang army had begun to seize the top of the city, they were even more panicked.

"General! General! I can't hold it anymore! The city is about to be broken, so retreat quickly! If you don't retreat, you won't be able to leave!" the soldiers persuaded.

After hearing this, the guard said tragically: "Let's go? Where are we going? I have failed the king's expectations. What face do I have to go? I have no face to see the king! No face to see the elders of Liaodong! What face do I have to live in the world ?”

After all, the guard immediately killed himself with a knife!

Seeing this, the guards next to him couldn't help being shocked, and quickly stepped forward and hugged him.

"General! No! Absolutely no!"

"It's because Tang Jun is too treacherous! Too cunning! It's because the artillery is too powerful, it's not the general's fault!"

"The general should keep it useful and tell other cities how powerful the artillery is, so that they can take precautions, so that the general can take the blame and make meritorious deeds!"

The guard put down the knife in his hand after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, I must tell the other guards about Tang Jun's situation, lest other cities make the same mistakes!"

"Besides, the Tang army is coming in menacingly. It is the time for the court to employ people. I will take the blame and make meritorious service!"

The soldiers hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, General, let's go!"

The guard waved his sword and said loudly: "Go! Follow me to fight out of the city!"

The army was defeated like a mountain, and Tang Jun rushed up the city wall continuously, and began to rush down the city!

Finally, the city gate burst open.

Seeing the soldiers rushing to the top of the city, Li Shimin knew that Jian'an City would definitely be breached today, but he did not expect that it only took half a day to break through!

I don't know if the artillery was too fierce, or the defenders of Jian'an City couldn't help fighting too much!

"Report to Your Majesty, a defeated army has escaped from the west gate!" The scouts rushed to report.

"Order Su Dingfang to lead the cavalry to pursue immediately!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "Order Li Xiaogong's troops to enter the city immediately and wipe out the remnants of the enemy!"

With drums and horns clamoring and horseshoes thundering, Jin Shengman had a look of incredulity on his face, and said in a daze, "Is this breaking the city?"

Jin Wenzhi's face was very complicated, and he said with emotion: "Isn't it just breaking the city! The gates of the city are all open, and there are only 15 defenders in the city. The [-] troops rushing in like a wolf and tiger, the result is already doomed! Moreover, the west side The city gate has been defeated and the troops have fled, which shows that the defenders in the city have lost their morale!"

"It only took half a day to break through Jian'an City!" A beautiful smile suddenly appeared on Jin Shengman's face. She was praying on the way, that Tang Jun could break through Jian'an City in just a day or two.

Even when she was praying, she didn't dare to pray that Tang Jun broke through Jian'an City in only half a day, which is really incredible!

Jin Wenzhi said with emotion: "I can only say that this artillery is really powerful!"

Jin Shengman nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, the cannons of Shenjiying are too powerful! With this cannon, the Tang army can attack the city all the way, how can Goguryeo not be afraid? It will definitely let Yuangai Suwen return to Liaodong , Jincheng will be saved! Silla will be saved!"

Jin Wenzhi nodded and said: "However, with the cannons of the Shenji Battalion, it is not difficult for the Tang army to break through the Liaodong City. As long as they break through the Liaodong City, Goguryeo will shake. Yuan Gai Suwen can only lead his troops back to Liaodong. The country's danger is lifted!"

Jin Shengman folded his hands on his chest and murmured: "Sister Wang, you must defend Jincheng, as long as you persist for a few more days! If you persist for a few more days, the Tang army will be able to break through Liaodong City!"

At this moment, Jin Wenzhi's heart has completely calmed down. After this battle, he has understood that their Silla will be saved!

So what if Jincheng falls?

Faced with the Tang army's attack, Goguryeo was also unable to occupy Silla, so it could only hastily withdraw its troops and return to Liaodong.

What he was most worried about before was the combat power of the Tang army. Since the Tang army took only half a day to capture Jian'an City, he was completely relieved.

Jin Wenzhi smiled and comforted: "Princess, don't worry, even if Yuangai Suwen captures Jincheng, facing the Tang army's offensive, he will not be able to occupy it, and he can only retreat in the end. Therefore, no matter what, our Silla is saved!"

With tears in the corners of Jin Shengman's eyes, he smiled and said, "That's great! That's great!"

"Princess, have you ever thought about what will happen if Goguryeo attacks Silla again after the Tang Dynasty retreats?" Jin Wenzhi asked pointedly.

Jin Shengman was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then said as a matter of course: "Then ask Datang to send troops again!"

Jin Wenzhi shook his head slightly and said: "Who knows if Datang will send troops next time? Even if Datang will send troops next time, what about next time? You can't always pin your hopes on Datang sending troops, right?"

Jin Shengman wondered: "What does Master Jin mean? After this battle, we will naturally fight hard!"

Seriously?How useful is it?Jin Wenzhi said in a low voice: "Princess, this cannon can not only attack the city, but also defend the city. As long as this cannon is placed on the top of the city, even thousands of troops can't break it! If we in Silla can have Artillery, do you still need to be afraid of Goguryeo attacking?"

Jin Shengman's eyes lit up when she heard that, yes, she had seen the power of the cannon with her own eyes, and it was because of the cannon that Tang Jun only took half a day to break through Jian'an City.

And what Jin Wenzhi said is right, cannons can not only be used for siege, but also for defense!

If they can have cannons in Silla, then they really don't have to be afraid of Goguryeo's attack!

Immediately, Jin Shengman's eyes darkened, and he hesitated: "How can the Tang Dynasty give us such a magical weapon?"

Jin Wenzhi said in a low voice: "Indeed, such a magical weapon is Datang's reliance and deterrence. Of course, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty don't want to give it to others, but the princess has forgotten that this cannon was made by Duke Rong!"

Jin Shengman hesitated and said: "Master Jin means to ask Duke Rong to give us cannons? But, isn't this embarrassing for Duke Rong? Duke Rong has great kindness to us in Silla, isn't that bad?"

Jin Wenzhi said in a low voice: "No, why should Duke Rong give us the Silla cannon? This cannon was made by Duke Rong. As long as Duke Rong can teach the princess the secret of it, we also have skilled craftsmen in Silla, and we can also make it." Bring out the cannon!"

"Princess, this is related to the safety of our Silla, and it is related to thousands of people in Silla! Princess, think about it, how many people died under the butcher knife of Goguryeo during the Goguryeo invasion? If there were cannons, we The people of Goguryeo will not have to suffer such a disaster again!"

She knew that this matter would definitely embarrass Su Cheng, but when she thought that it was related to thousands of people in Silla, Jin Shengman nodded slightly and said, "Duke Rong may not agree, let me give it a try!"
