Datang Nongwang

Chapter 939 Take the Goguryeo Capital

This is only ten rounds.

Only one hundred iron thunders in ten rounds has such an effect.

Chen Huan didn't think of it, and neither did Chen Juan.

Even Liu Xiang didn't think of it.

The thrower pushed forward a hundred feet.

But Chen Huan still felt that it was too far away, so he pushed forward again.

The two forward armies, left and right, were already staring at the gate of Wandu Mountain, which was blasted open by the big killer. As long as the superior gives an order, they will directly charge forward.

Everyone is thinking in their hearts.

The thing that can smash the city gates, is it the thunder and fire from the sky, or the power of the gods borrowed by Li Chongyuan.

on the river.

Li Chongyuan held a binoculars and kept staring at Marudu Mountain City.

When the gate of Wandu Mountain City was blasted open by Tie Leizi, Li Chongyuan knew that this battle was won.

Although the city gate was blasted open.

But Chen Huan still ordered to continue firing iron thunders into Wandu Mountain City.

Round after round.

Li Chongyuan on the river, through the binoculars, watched the flames of the Wandu mountain city bursting into the sky.

The facilities in the city were shrouded in fire.

Whether it was the defenders in the city or the people in the city, they fled in panic, trying to avoid the thunder and fire that fell from the sky.

When it gets dark.

Chen Huan had already ordered dozens of rounds of attack.

Five hundred iron thunderbolts have been projected, but it is still not enjoyable, "Disassemble the throwing car and go to the city wall."

At this time, Chen Juan gave the order, "Attack!"

One command.

Regardless of whether there are enemy troops at the city gate or not, the left and right vanguards rushed forward with shouts.

The same goes for the Left Army.

And the army on the right, seeing the soldiers and horses from all three sides rushing forward, seemed eager to try.

but.

The order they got was to guard these throwing devices.

Chen Huan saw that the soldiers below were envious of others rushing into Wandu Mountain City, and immediately shouted, "Leave 1000 people, everyone will attack!"

With Chen Huan's order, the men and horses of the right army rushed forward with two steps at a time.

Most of them have already rushed into Wandu Mountain City.

Chen Huan took the remaining 1000 people and boarded the city wall that had already been bombarded to pieces by Tie Leizi.

I found a place that was considered intact and set up the throwing device.

Sailors become infantry.

Infantry turned into artillery.

As soon as all the soldiers entered Wandu Mountain City, the attacks blew past piece by piece like a fire with the wind.

In Wandu Mountain City, although there are 10 defenders and tens of thousands of civilians, the total already exceeds [-].

Under the bombardment of Tie Leizi, although the gate of Wandu Mountain was broken and most of the guards were dead, the ten rounds of Tie Leizi still couldn't wipe out these 10 people.

Near the city gate, the number of dead bodies could not be determined.

But it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of people.

Ten rounds of iron thunder killed tens of thousands of people, and it is estimated that many more were injured.

The guard of Marutu Mountain City didn't know whether he was a fool or an idiot.

Most of the original defenders were placed near the city gate, with a total of [-] soldiers and horses.

But he did not expect that Tang Jun would produce a killer weapon that they had never seen before.

Not to mention his own death, tens of thousands of soldiers under him were also scrapped.

And there were more than [-] injured.

The lethality of Tie Leizi is unmatched by all weapons in the current war.

Each of the iron beads in the Tie Leizi can take a life from the Goguryeo army, and even if it cannot be taken away, it can make it impossible for them to take up arms to fight again.

Chen Huan on the city wall watched the overwhelming attack in Wandu Mountain City, looking for a place to bomb with his eyes.

"Over there, give me a blast. Today, I want to bloodbath Wandu Mountain City!" Chen Huan pointed to a military camp somewhere two miles away.

There, according to Chen Huan's judgment, there should be many enemy troops.

According to the order, the soldiers moved the Tie Leizi, ignited it, and launched it.

A series of actions have been as fast as flowing clouds and flowing water.

'Boom' sounded again.

Li Chongyuan on the river, after hearing the booming sound, felt distressed, "If you fight again, my family will be wiped out."

It hurts.

Each Tie Leizi is worth dozens of coins.

In this battle, if Chen Huan really threw all the thousand iron thunders, he would have lost [-] to [-] guan.

Could Li Chongyuan not be distressed?

"Xiao Langjun, don't feel bad. In the battle of Dahang City, we got money worth at least 100 million guan. Moreover, Bocha City, Black Bone City and Bochakou also contributed millions of guan to us. I believe that there must be more valuable gold and silver in the mountain city of Wandu. A thousand iron thunders are only worth tens of thousands of guan." Xing Ba didn't feel distressed at all.

Upon hearing this, Li Chongyuan scolded angrily: "Prodigal son. The money earned in the war is to be distributed to the families of the soldiers who died in the war. Besides, how much is it? I’m going to spend 4000 guan to go. You know, we’ve lost three to 200 people in these few battles, and there may be more losses in the future. According to my estimation, [-] million guan is estimated to be only Yes. As for the injured, don’t they need to be given pensions? If this battle is fought like this, I won’t jump off the building.”

The compensation money was promised by Li Chongyuan before he set off.

And as soon as the promise is made, every person who dies in battle will have to pay two hundred guan.

It is impossible for the imperial court to agree to such a large expenditure.

Although there is a pension in Datang, it is frighteningly small.

Of course, the government soldiers did not join the war for a small pension. They joined the war for the purpose of reducing or exempting taxes.

If you have military exploits, you may even get the land rewarded by the court.

But Li Chongyuan was different, his battle this time was different from Li Shimin's order, so he promised to give two hundred guan as compensation to each person who died in the battle.

The injured person also has a corresponding pension, depending on the seriousness of the situation.

For heavy ones, two hundred guan, for light ones, [-] guan.

visible.

In this war, if Li Chongyuan couldn't get a lot of money from the war, he had to pay for it himself.

After Xingba was scolded, he smiled helplessly.

He knew that Li Chongyuan still cared about money matters.

But war, for experienced people like Xingba and the others, things that money can solve are not a big deal.

Moreover.

Xingba doesn't think that Li Chongyuan will have no money.

The battle is still going on.

In the middle of Haishi, Li Chongyuan on the river saw that there were no more shouts of beating and killing in Wandu Mountain City, and he knew that the enemy army in Wandu Mountain City had been wiped out.

From the binoculars, Li Chongyuan could see that there were flames everywhere in Wandu Mountain City.

Tang Li, who was standing at the side, suddenly said: "Young Lord, depending on the situation, Wandu Mountain City has been flattened. Do you want to go and see, Young Lord?"

"Not now. Let's go later." Li Chongyuan didn't want to move.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but because he knows that going at this time will make him see some unbearable scenes.

When the pirate army broke through Black Bone City, there were too many scenes that he couldn't bear to watch.

At this time, Wandu Mountain City has been controlled by our own side, and it is impossible for Li Chongyuan not to know what will happen next.

At the end of Haishi.

Chen Juan and the others came back, "Report to the chief executive, the mountain city of Wandu has been destroyed, please remove the camp from the chief executive."

"Thank you, generals." Li Chongyuan knew that the looting and killing in Wandu Mountain City had ended.

Chen Huan approached Li Chongyuan and said softly, "Shande, guess what we found."

"What?" Li Chongyuan asked puzzled.

Chen Huan smiled, "After you meet, you may be too excited to sleep."

With doubts, Li Chongyuan got off the boat, passed the domestic city, and arrived at Wandu Mountain City.

The city is full of dead bodies.

The city smells of burning.

Chen Juan and the others led Bu Qingjia to a stone castle, "Shande, go in and have a look."

Li Chongyuan got into the stone castle with curiosity and bewilderment.

Suddenly.

The inside of the castle is not small, it can be said that it is at least one mu of land.

Inside the castle, boxes are everywhere.

The boxes were also opened.

Shining golden and shining silver made Li Chongyuan suspect that he came to the wrong place.

It's all gold and silver jewelry.

There were so many beautiful things in sight that Li Chongyuan couldn't keep his eyes open.

"Shande, with this money, the next battle should be better." Chen Huan said with a smile.

Li Chongyuan swallowed hard.

It is estimated that the gold, silver and jewels in the stone castle are worth at least three to five million guan.

This was also the first time Li Chongyuan saw so many gold, silver and jewels in front of his eyes.

There are too many, so many that Li Chongyuan can't estimate them specifically.

Pirates rob, although the pirates have a lot of money, but it seems scattered.

But within this Wandu mountain city, there are so many gold, silver and jewels, Li Chongyuan really can't imagine.

And it's all gold, silver and jewelry, not even a single copper coin.

move.

Move them all.

At the end of the Zishi period, all the gold, silver and jewels were moved to the ship.

The pirate army seemed to ignore it, or even thought it was a normal operation, and no one came to say anything.

From their bodies, it can be seen that they robbed a lot of things.

If the pirate army robbed it, the regular army would naturally rob it too.

The clothes of all the soldiers are full of stuff.

even.

Li Chongyuan also saw some soldiers dragging a cloth bag that they did not know where they got it.

Domestic Castle and Marutusan Castle were flattened.

Li Chongyuan was not in a hurry to rush to other places, and ordered repairs on the spot.

Those who should recuperate should recuperate well.

Eat and drink what you should eat and drink.

It's time to rest.

July 25.

Su Dingfang came over suddenly, "Chairman, news from the front line."

Su Dingfang was not surprised that Li Chongyuan was able to capture Wandu Mountain City.

In his mind, if Black Bone City could be captured, this Wandu Mountain City would naturally be a no-brainer.

Had he been there at the time, perhaps he would not have thought so.

Li Chongyuan took the letter and read it carefully.

The news from the front line was as expected by Li Chongyuan.

Li Shimin and the others were stuck under Anshi City.

Although there was a duel and tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers were beheaded, Anshi City was still unable to be captured.

"Shande, I heard you say that you donated the gunpowder to the emperor, didn't he? Didn't he think of using gunpowder to attack the city? Just like we attacked Wandu Mountain City?" After reading the letter, Chen Juan felt a little displeased. untie.

In fact, Li Chongyuan didn't understand either.

The gunpowder formula was handed in by myself a few years ago.

Is Li Shimin not willing to use his Eastern Expedition at this juncture?

Or was it the formula he gave that Wang Li didn't figure out why?
But there is no reason to come up with it, Li Chongyuan has also guided it.

I don't know, and I don't understand.

Can't figure it out.

According to the news, in addition to Li Shimin being trapped under Anshi City, even Chang He, the chief deputy director of Canghai Daohang, was also trapped under Beisha City.

According to normal history, Beisha City should have been destroyed by Zhang Liang.

But now.

Everything has changed.

Li Chongyuan shook his head, "Maybe the Holy Majesty didn't want to leak the gunpowder prematurely, or maybe he was waiting for the opportunity to use it."

As for whether it was true, Li Chongyuan didn't know, and no one knew.

Early August.

After the repair, Li Chongyuan ordered that Su Dingfang and Xu Yi continue to control Yalushui.

But he himself led all the soldiers, left the inner city, and went down the Yalu River.

a few days later.

The Xisha army arrived in the west of Huyi City.

At this time, in Pyongyang City, which is far away from Huyi City, Yuan Gai Suwen is in a state of desperation.

"Bastard, bastard. Why did the Tang army come with such a big ship! Someone, tell me that King Baekje is here to discuss matters." Yuan Gai Suwen received the news from the front.

The news he received was limited to Yalu Shui.

But there was no news about Yalu Shuibei at all.

Since the start of the war, there has been no news from the front line for more than a month, which made Yuan Gai Suwen panic.

But when he was negotiating with the King of Baekje, there was news from the front, "Reporting to Da Mo Lizhi, the Tang army appeared in my humiliating city and has already captured my humiliating city."

"What!!!" Yuan Gai Suwen didn't believe it.

Rescue troops.

Pyongyang City is only 130 miles away from Huyi City.

Humiliation City was suddenly broken by Tang Jun, Yuan Gai Suwen was afraid and nervous.

Even the King of Baekje was also afraid.

Yuan Gaisuwen on the side of Pyongyang City is increasing his troops.

However, Li Chongyuan, who had already broken the Humiliation City, boarded the ship directly and continued southward.

With a distance of 130 miles, with the rapid progress of the paddle steamer, it took less than an hour for Li Chongyuan's army to reach the Datong River.

At this time, it was the beginning of Haishi.

It's dark enough to start a war, this is Li Chongyuan's strategy.

But now, whether it is dark or daytime, it is easy to start a war.

In Haishi.

The paddle steamer doesn't care whether there are Goguryeo scouts or military forts on both sides of the Datong River.

Destroyed the Goguryeo boat on the river and went straight to Pyongyang City.

The Koguryo scouts on both sides of the Datong River saw such a large ship and so many ships on the river, they were frightened and rushed back to Pyongyang to report.

Talk about speed.

The speed of their horses on the shore is much slower than that of paddle steamers driving in the river.

Before they arrived, Li Chongyuan's army had already arrived at the city of Pyongyang.

When Li Chongyuan and the others arrived at the city of Pyongyang, the Goguryeo royal family was shocked, and Yuangai Suwen was even more shocked.

It was only in the evening that the news of the destruction of Huyi City was received. That night, Tang Jun's navy arrived under the capital of his own country.

With such a marching speed, don't say he was going to be shocked, even the Goguryeo army was shocked.

Speaking of which, Li Chongyuan deliberately slowed down.

If he had advanced at full speed, he would have arrived under the city of Pyongyang long ago.

"Defend, defend!" Yuan Gai Suwen was terrified.

Countless Goguryeo soldiers rushed out of Pyongyang City and rushed to the port.

There are all kinds of arms.

Even Li Chongyuan, standing on the bow of the ship, saw heavy cavalry.

Li Chongyuan smiled, "They all came to die. Now that it's here, tonight, I will make the capital of Goguryeo a thing of the past."
