Datang Nongwang

Chapter 940

The battle is unfolding.

Dozens of paddle steamers, all facing the south of Pyongyang city.

All Super A, A and B paddle ships are equipped with throwers on the deck.

The super A paddle steamer, and the A type paddle steamer, on each of them, at least five throwing devices were erected.

This is the fixed thrower.

For the moving ones, two more were added to each ship.

Li Chongyuan owns as many as 31 Super A-type and A-type paddle ships.

In contrast, the B-type paddle steamers and the C-type paddle steamers were defending the Koguryo army on the south bank of the Datong River.

after all.

Pyongyang City is located in the north of the Datong River, only one mile away from the Datong River.

On the other side of the Datong River, there are quite a few military forts. From their battles, their strength is at least [-].

More than [-] people are located on the south bank, which may be a defensive circle set up by Yuan Gai Suwen.

But with these 1 people, Li Chongyuan was not afraid at all.

I dared to take tens of thousands of horses and control dozens of paddle steamers to jump from north to south, in order to quickly end this war.

On the other side of Anshicheng, Li Chongyuan has confirmed that Li Shimin will not use gunpowder.

Li Chongyuan decided that it was impossible to destroy Anshi City in a short time without using gunpowder.

although.

Li Chongyuan asked Su Dingfang and the others to control Yalushui.

But even if he controlled Yalushui, supplies would still be delivered to Anshi City.

after all.

Nansu City, Mudi City, Cangyan City, and Ganwu City are still in the hands of Goguryeo, and the supply of Anshi City will still be cut off at a certain time.

day.

When Li Chongyuan was attacking Huyi City.

Li Chongyuan received the news from Su Dingfang.

It is said that some Goguryeo naval forces came from the direction of Ganwu City and were wiped out by them.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan believed that there were still many Goguryeo soldiers in the area around Ganwu City, and even Beifuyu City.

Regardless of the small area of ​​Goguryeo, the population has reached one-third of that of Datang.

How many people does Datang have.

Up to the 19th year of Zhenguan, there are almost 340 million households. If each household is calculated as four people, there are at least 300 million people.

However, the population of Goguryeo has reached one-third of that of Datang.

How much is one third? That's more than 400 million people.

of course.

This data is definitely discrepant.

It is difficult to find out in the current census, let alone under such conditions.

Moreover, in the current era, it is estimated that at least three-tenths of black household data cannot be counted.

According to some historical data analysis.

Goguryeo currently has 70 households.

Moreover, Koguryo also implemented a large-scale production system, and each household counted five to six people, and it did have a population of 400 million.

And since Li Chongyuan started fighting from Daxing City, he has been fighting Wandu Mountain City.

After these battles, the number of Goguryeo troops destroyed was countless, and the number of people was so large that Li Chongyuan didn't count them.

Goguryeo's army has reached one hundred thousand, and there are more people than this.

But no amount of it could withstand Li Chongyuan's attack.

When Li Chongyuan's fleet lined up one by one, Goguryeo's bows and arrows shot towards the paddle steamers on the Datong River as if they hadn't eaten.

far away.

Chen Huan burst out laughing, "Hurry up, send a message and ask the chief manager when we can start the war. I can't wait, I can't wait to see them crying."

In the dark, it is really impossible to convey the message, and the message is passed between the ship and the ship.

But even so.

Li Chongyuan and the others also have ways to deliver messages.

That is blowing bamboo whistle.

The sound of the bamboo whistle was transmitted from one ship to another, and finally reached Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan smiled after hearing the news, "Wait, wait until their catapults are deployed before launching an attack."

Yes.

At this time, the city of Pyongyang was already wide open.

Various catapults were pushed out.

Some people even appeared below the city against the siege ladder.

Looking at this scene, Li Chongyuan felt that his side was the one defending the city, while Yuan Gai Suwen and the others were the ones attacking the city.

More and more Goguryeo soldiers appeared under the city of Pyongyang.

The distance is only one mile, and the length is only ten miles.

How many soldiers and horses can be accommodated in such a small place.

Moreover.

There are also various catapults, and various siege equipment.

This is not.

In less than a quarter of an hour, soldiers from Goguryeo were everywhere from the Datong River to the city of Pyongyang.

Li Chongyuan guessed, at least one hundred thousand troops.

There are hundreds of thousands outside, and there are probably many more in the city.

Even, there are many Goguryeo soldiers in the east, west and north of Pyongyang City.

"Order the ships to attack indiscriminately when they see the signal flares take off." Li Chongyuan saw that there were a lot of Goguryeo soldiers, so he gave the order directly.

No more.

Li Chongyuan was afraid that Goguryeo's catapults were about to start a fight.

Soon.

The flare went up.

This time, the signal flare fired by Li Chongyuan was an illumination flare.

As soon as the flare was lifted into the sky, the Goguryeo people below suddenly saw a sun-like brightness appearing in the sky, and looked up at the sky one after another.

Everyone is stupid.

Yes.

These people, like the previous Xisha army, were all confused by the flares in the sky.

At the moment, in everyone's cognition.

The only thing that can rise to the sky, except the sun, is the wishing lamp.

But the wishing lamp should not be so bright.

Therefore, there is only one thought in the hearts of all Goguryeo people, and the sun has risen again.

But doesn't the sun rise from the east?Isn't it true that as soon as the sun rises, you can see love no matter where you are?Why is it only shining on the tens of feet above my head, and it seems to be still falling?
On the walls of Pyongyang City.

Yuan Gai Suwen also acted like a fool, looking at the shining unknown thing in the sky, watching that light, slowly falling.

But right now.

Countless stone-like black objects with red sparks flew towards the city wall where Yuan Gai Suwen was.

Yuan Gai Suwen yelled, "Tang Jun flying stones, dodge and dodge."

Yuan Gai Suwen had just finished speaking.

An iron thunderbolt had landed on the city wall a few meters away from him.

Still, Tie Leizi was still sparkling.

But just when Yuan Gai Suwen was curious and wanted to raise his leg to check.

With a bang, he was overturned.

"Da Mo Li Zhi, Da Mo Li Zhi." Whether it's the guards or the attendant officials, they found something strange from the loud noise, shook their heads, and shook the roaring sound in their ears.

But at this time.

The roar of the iron thunder sounded again.

'Boom~~'

31 paddle steamers, each with seven throwers.

In one round, more than 200 iron thunders flew out.

Under the bombardment of more than 200 iron thunderbolts, the entire southern city wall of Pyongyang City was smashed to pieces in an instant.

Before the Goguryeo army under the city could react to the bright light from the sky, the south wall of Pyongyang City behind them was already in pieces.

Paddle steamer.

The Xisha army followed the instructions.

Hold the bomb, release the bomb, light the fire, and let the rope go.

A smooth operation.

The second round of Tie Leizi flew towards the southern city wall of Pyongyang City again.

'Boom~~'

Below, one hundred thousand Goguryeo soldiers were dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, the south wall of the capital of my country was blown away by that loud thing.

There are silly ones.

Some ran away in a panic.

Some were so frightened that they lost their minds.

Some still insist on capturing those ships on the river.

The southern city wall of Pyongyang was blown down.

Li Chongyuan ordered, "Adjust the direction and destroy them!"

The thrower immediately adjusted the direction of the thrower, aiming at the Goguryeo soldiers below.

'Boom~~'

Mao Shi.

dawn.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Chongyuan looked at the left and right forward troops, as well as the left and right troops, and half of the central army rushed into Pyongyang City to harvest.

Below, there are corpses everywhere.

Last night, the original Goguryeo army of [-] fell apart in an instant, causing countless casualties.

It was also last night.

I don't know who among the enemy troops yelled that Da Molizhi died, and these Goguryeo troops instantly seemed to be retreating from the tide.

Either run away or disperse.

In addition, Li Chongyuan has been throwing iron thunders indiscriminately.

This made the [-] soldiers and horses below even more timid.

The original [-] soldiers and horses left the corpses of [-] to [-], and the area in the south of Pyongyang City was emptied.

Even though the [-] soldiers retreated, Li Chongyuan did not give the order to stop the attack.

He even adjusted the thrower and dropped iron thunders into Pyongyang city.

The throwing device improved by Murphy has a maximum throwing weight of fifty catties, although it is not three hundred catties.

Its shooting range is much farther than the thrower designed by Yan Lide, five miles.

Although the range of five miles cannot hit the palace in Pyongyang City, it can cover one-fifth of the area of ​​Pyongyang City.

And as the Goguryeo soldiers and horses below retreated.

Chen Juan and the others even took the mobile thrower and got off the boat directly to the shore.

At last.

It even put the throwing device on some undestroyed city walls in the southern city of Pyongyang City.

noon.

Li Chongyuan entered Pyongyang City.

From last night until now.

It is also time to end.

And Li Chongyuan entered Pyongyang City at noon, in fact, because Chen Juan and the others sent news that they had captured the treasure king Gaozang.

For this reason, Li Chongyuan entered Pyongyang City.

The treasure kings of Goguryeo have all been captured, and it is not far from controlling Pyongyang.

but.

The person Li Chongyuan wanted the most was not the King of Treasures, but Da Mo Lizhi, Yuan Gai Su Wen, and Yuan Gai Su Wen's family from Goguryeo.

As far as Li Chongyuan knows.

Yuangai Suwen had three sons.

One is Yuan Nannan, the second is Yuan Nanjian, and the third is Yuan Nansheng.

The acquisition of the name really left Li Chongyuan speechless.

When Li Chongyuan saw Treasure King, Li Chongyuan slapped Treasure King's trembling leg, "Bao Zang, you are very capable. You can't control the people under you, you still have the face to live! Hehe , come here, shut him up in a small dark room for me, and don't let him out without my instructions."

Gao Zang was arrested, all of Gao Zang's children and women were arrested.

These people were all locked up at the bottom of the ship warehouse by Li Chongyuan's order.

not yet.

Chen Huan came to Li Chongyuan with a few people, and said, "Chief Manager, these people are the son, daughter and woman of Goguryeo's Damo Lizhiyuan Gaisuwen."

"Where's Yuan Gai Su Wen?" Li Chongyuan didn't see Yuan Gai Su Wen, so he asked Chen Huan.

Chen Huan shook his head.

Shortly after.

When Li Chongyuan heard that Yuan Gai Suwen was injured by Tie Leizi and was rescued by his subordinates, no one knew where he was now.

Hearing that Yuan Gai Suwen was still alive, Li Chongyuan then ordered a search of the whole city.

After this search, all kinds of ghosts and snake spirits came out.

Many officials and generals of Goguryeo were searched out.

even.

Li Chongyuan also met an unexpected person, the king of Baekje, Fuyu Yici.

Li Chongyuan didn't even interrogate, didn't even say a word, and ordered someone to throw Fuyu Yici into the small black room.

And this search.

Yuan Gai Suwen was also found.

but.

What Li Chongyuan found was not the good Yuan Gai Su Wen, but Yuan Gai Su Wen who was bleeding from his stomach.

Not long to live.

When Li Chongyuan saw Yuan Gai Su Wen, he knew that Yuan Gai Su Wen would not live long.

His stomach felt like he had been stabbed by a knife.

But judging from the cut, it was not injured by a knife, but by something sharp when the iron thunder exploded.

rule.

Li Chongyuan could only treat him first.

Yuan Gai Su Wen could not die so easily.

Li Chongyuan needs him, needs to send him to Li Shimin, needs to get him to Chang'an.

There are quite a few big shots that should be caught.

Under Tang Li's persuasion, Li Chongyuan had no choice but to return to the ship from Pyongyang City.

Pyongyang is not safe.

Although it was attacked, some unwilling people would still attack from time to time.

The city of Pyongyang is under martial law.

Everyone is not allowed to leave home for half a step. Once he leaves home, the only thing waiting for him is death.

The pirate army was dispersed to the east side of Pyongyang city.

The left and right armies were dispersed to the west city.

Under Liu Xiang's instructions, the Central Route Army controlled the palace.

All kinds of treasures were taken onto the ship by the Central Route Army.

The king of Goguryeo was arrested, and keeping these is just to make others cheaper.

One word, move.

August thirteenth.

Li Chongyuan gave the order to leave.

The Xisha army left Pyongyang, but left behind a lot of corpses.

Similarly, a mess was left behind.

Inside and outside the capital of Goguryeo, there were originally 15 defenders and 20 civilians.

But with Li Chongyuan and the others leaving, more than [-] of the original defenders died, and the rest fled to nowhere.

As for the people.

That was even more casualties.

Judging from the current situation in Pyongyang, at least half of the people died.

Some were bombarded to death by Tie Leizi, and some were killed by the pirate army.

Li Chongyuan would not ask, nor would he care.

The paddle steamer originally had a shallow draft, but when it left, the draft was one meter deeper.

Judging from the draft of the paddle steamer, one can tell how much treasure the Xisha Army has taken from Goguryeo and left.

Li Chongyuan and the others who left Goguryeo did not go north, but continued to go south.

Li Chongyuan's destination this time can be seen from his heading south, Li Chongyuan took aim at Sibi, the capital of Baekje.

Li Chongyuan wanted to go to the city of Sibi when Li Shimin ordered him to go to various countries, but he didn't make it at that time, he just saw the King of Baekje.

now.

The king of Baekje is in his own hands. If the Baekje country is not obedient, then the fate of the future is not something that Baekje can control.

The capital of Goguryeo was destroyed by Li Chongyuan, and this city of Sibi is not comparable to the capital of Goguryeo.
