Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 356 Siege in the rain.

Don't look at Goguryeo, which is a tiny place, but it has three capitals, namely the domestic city, Pyongyang city and Seoul.The construction standards of these three capitals are very high, and they are all built with huge stones, which can be said to be very strong.

The city wall of Seoul is very high, about three feet in length, and it is composed of protruding female walls and horse horns.

The female wall and horse horns are the protruding parts of the city wall. The soldiers defending the city stand on the female wall and horse horns and can attack the attacking enemy in all directions.

This is also the reason why, in ancient times, when attacking a city, one must first take down the Wengcheng.It's not because the ancients were stupid, but because breaking the city wall is no easier than breaking the urn city.

This is also the reason why Li Mu wants to attack in heavy rain.Bows and arrows in this era are actually very afraid of stormy weather.

The strong wind will make the bow and arrow deviate from the direction, and once the heavy rain wets the bowstring, the bowstring will lose its strength.

After the bow and arrow lost their function, it was difficult for the female wall and horse horns in Seoul to pose any threat to the Sui army.

"Boom. Boom. Boom."

"Boom. Boom. Boom."

"Boom. Boom. Boom."

In the Qin camp, there was the sound of three-way drums. At this time, Lai Hu'er and his sailors had already assembled.

The infantry phalanx of black flag and black armor has assembled thousands of feet below Seoul.These soldiers held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and the soldiers in the front row carried ladders on their shoulders.

"Brothers, don't look at the strong wind and rain today. Let's attack in the rain. Goguryeo's bows and arrows are useless, and neither is the golden juice."

"You don't need to worry about the rest, just rush up to me. Whoever rushes to the city wall first, I will reward him greatly."

"However, if the one is slow-moving and obsolete, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless."

"Today, I'll be the first to protect the child. As long as I come to protect the child, you have to follow Lao Tzu."

"If I die, you all step on my body and charge forward." Lai Hu'er stood at the front of the line, swearing to boost morale.

"Never retreat in a deadly battle! Never retreat in a deadly battle!"

"Never retreat in a deadly battle! Never retreat in a deadly battle!"

"Never retreat in a deadly battle! Never retreat in a deadly battle!"

Lai Hu'er's soldiers waved their weapons and shouted loudly, the shouts had already overwhelmed the sound of thunder and rain.

At this time, on the city wall of Seoul, the defenders saw that the Sui army had begun to gather below the city, and their hearts sank immediately.

"Attacking in rainy days, I never expected that the Sui army would actually attack in rainy days."

"Quick, hurry up and report to the prime minister." The general in charge of guarding the city wall hurriedly sent someone to report.

At this time, Ulji Mundeok is the backbone of Goguryeo.Ulji Mundeok is on the city wall, and Goguryeo's soldiers and horses are still fighting.If Ulji Wendeok was not on the city wall, Goguryeo's soldiers and horses can be said to be in danger.

Seoul.

Prime Minister's House.

"report"

"Prime Minister, something is wrong, something is wrong, the Sui army is assembled and is about to attack the city." The messenger hurried into the prime minister's mansion and said in a panic.

Upon hearing this, the generals in front of Ulji Mundeok showed incredulous expressions on their faces.

It is a taboo for military strategists to launch troops in rainy days. How could the Sui army make such a low-level mistake.

"Attack in rainy days, the Sui army blocked it, right?" Cui Teng had a look of disbelief.

"In my opinion, this Tiance General of the Sui Army is purely a vain name." Yin Zheng also said the same.

However, at this time, Ulji Wendeok's face was a little gloomy and ugly, and everyone looked at Ulji Wendeok with doubts.

"This General Tiance really deserves his reputation."

"Today's weather has lost the power of the bow and arrow, and the golden juice is useless. The only defensive weapon we can use is the thunder stone and the log."

"The Sui army is sure that we can't fight a tough battle, and they want to fight us hand-to-hand!" Ulji Wende's face was gloomy.

Most of the soldiers guarding the city above Seoul today are soldiers from Silla and Baekje.Although these people have undergone a winter's training in Ulji Mundeok, it is difficult to count them as elite soldiers.

Moreover, the soldiers of Silla and Baekje are stupid, and they don't have a good understanding of military law and battle formation.These soldiers are more accustomed to fighting instinctively like wild animals.

However, on the battlefield, the most important thing is actually unity.The short-distance hand-to-hand combat is precisely the shortcoming of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces.It has to be said that Li Mu's gaze was very vicious, he was pinching Goguryeo's weaknesses.

If it was sunny, the Sui army, as the attacking party, would be able to drink a pot of gold juice, bows and arrows alone.

"Quick, let's go to the city wall!" Ulji Wende ordered immediately.

Ulji Wendeok rushed to the city wall with his men. At the same time, the pre-war mobilization of the Sui army was over and the attack was about to begin.

"Target, the city wall!"

"Follow me!"

Lai Hu'er shouted loudly, waved the long knife in his hand, and rushed forward at the head of the horse.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The generals and soldiers of the Sui army shouted loudly, the momentum was very frightening.

If the weather is normal, the defenders on the city wall can throw bows and arrows at the Sui army.However, in this heavy rainy day, accompanied by gusts of wind, bows and arrows are useless at all.

The defenders on the city wall couldn't throw their bows and arrows, so they could only watch helplessly as the Sui army approached the city wall carrying ladders.

Why do you say that it is not easy to attack in heavy rain?Although, for the side defending the city, bows and arrows and gold juice cannot be used.For the attacking side, it was raining and windy, and climbing the city wall was also a problem.

The heavy rain wet the ladder, not to mention slippery when climbing up, and the whole person was tottered by the wind when climbing to the high place.

However, since Li Mu decided to attack in rainy days, he naturally made preparations early.On these ladders, Li Mu ordered people to wrap strips of linen in the shape of threads.In this way, after the sackcloth absorbs water, it will form a booster to help soldiers climb upwards.

Soon, the ladder was put on the city wall of Seoul.

"Quick, quick, climb up first for those weighing more than [-] catties!"

"Quick, quick!"

Lai Huer yelled in the city.

The wind is too strong now, and the ladder trembles under the strong wind.I can't wait for the light soldiers to shake in the strong wind.

But Lai Huer also has his own way, he first let the big men in the army climb up.The weight of these soldiers is more than two hundred catties, and with the addition of a whole body of armor, it is at least two hundred fifty or sixty catties.As soon as these soldiers pressed on the ladder, they were immediately pressed down by the ladder and stopped shaking.

In normal times, when climbing the ladder, you have to let the small and nimble ones go up first, because every moment of delay, countless arrows will be shot.But now that the arrows are useless, it is possible to let these big-bodied and round-bodied people move slowly first.
