Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 225 The capital of Koryo is opened and the city of Luo is broken

...

"Quickly open the city gate and put down the suspension bridge, I will report something important to the king!"

Seeing that the person shouting under the wall was Han Anren, and beside him were the leader of the martial arts class, Jin An, General Longhu, General Shenhu, and General Jinwu. Welcome Han Anren and others to come in!
Coincidentally, as soon as they lowered the suspension bridge, Li Yan led Qiao Daoqing and others to appear there!

Seeing Li Yan and the others dressed, the sergeants on the wall knew that Li Yan and the others were enemies rather than friends, so they all shouted:
"Master An, come in quickly, the pursuers are coming!"

"General Sun, run, there are pursuers behind!"

"Quickly close the suspension bridge and close the city gate!"

"..."

When Han Anren and the others heard the warning from the gatekeeper, they hurriedly looked back!
Seeing that Li Yan and others were catching up, Han Anren and the others were all so frightened that they froze, and immediately hit the suspension bridge on their horses, and then ran to the city with all their might!
Li Yan was overjoyed to see that there was a chance to take Luocheng without attacking the city, and then he pinched the lion's arm with all his might!

Lion Cong got Li Yan's order, shot it like an arrow, and rushed towards Luocheng with all his might!
At the same time, Qiao Daoqing and the others raced desperately to snatch the suspension bridge and the city gate!

pity!

After all, Li Yan and others waited too far for the city gate!

Therefore, even though Li Yan and the others used all their strength to hit the horses, when Li Yan, the fastest among them, rushed to the edge of the moat, the suspension bridge began to rise!
Not reconciled, Li Yan said to Chen Liqing: "Liqing, shoot the rope on the winch with me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Liqing immediately took out her bow and set up an arrow to shoot the rope on the winch!
"call out!"

"call out!"

Because the distance was too far, and because the rope on the winch was too thick, Chen Liqing shot two arrows in a row, that is, her most perfect trick!
I have to say that Chen Liqing's archery skills are really good!
Although she shot in a hurry, the two arrows shot by Chen Liqing actually hit the target!

It's just that the rope on the winch is really too thick, so even though Chen Liqing's two arrows both hit, they still couldn't cut it!
Just one step away!
Li Yan was very annoyed!

The city of Licheng is three feet high and the moat is thirty feet wide, which makes the more than 3 Korean troops helpless.

Do you know how high is Kaikyungra, the capital of Koryo, and how wide is the moat?
Kaijing had no city walls, so it was easily breached and burned by the Khitan during the Second Koryo-Khitan War.

In the 20th year of Emperor Xianzong of Goryeo, he accepted Jiang Hanzan's suggestion and built Jingluo City, employing 30 Dingfu.

Listening to this number, there are more than 30 people, and you can know how strong it is with your heels.

In terms of data, its city wall is six feet six feet high, and its moat is 55 feet wide.

Li Yan didn't know that the most powerful thing in Luocheng was not the high walls and wide moat, but the gates—it had 22 gates, named Chongren, Xuanqi, Baoding, Guangde, Deshan, Huibin, and Xian. Xi, Tai'an, Hongren, Qiande, Baotai, Xuanyi, Suanni, Dingping, Xianyan, Ci'an, Zhangyi, Yingyang, Anhe, Chengdao, Huichang, Anding, close all these 22 doors, you Just fight, it is still unknown whether the [-] troops can get through.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Li Yan doesn't have a way to defeat Luocheng.

As a modern person, Li Yan also has several ways to take down Luocheng, such as bombarding the city wall with gunpowder, or building an airship or hang glider to fly in.

However, none of these methods is easy, and all of them will take a lot of time and effort. The simplest method is to use gunpowder to blow down the city wall, but it also takes time and effort to fill in the moat first, like an airship. It is absolutely impossible not to have a year or a half.

And don’t forget, Kaijing doesn’t have many generals anymore, but it doesn’t mean that Goryeo has no generals. Goryeo still has 10,000+ soldiers capable of fighting in the northwest, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the south. Will.

Once Goryeo is given some time, those soldiers will be able to return to aid, and then Li Yan will have to use a bamboo basket to fetch water.

This was the main reason why Li Yan directly fought against Goryeo, and it was also the reason why Li Yan brought a thousand horses to surprise Kaijing without even confirming the victory after the decisive battle.

pity!

Li Yan hurried or took a step too late!
Looking at the suspension bridge rising gradually, Li Yan thought unwillingly: "Is it really necessary to use the lives of soldiers to fill up the moat, and then use explosives to blow up the city wall? But can the time come in such a hurry?"

Li Yan couldn't help thinking: "It would be great if I moved a few steps faster... Couldn't there be a miracle?"

At this moment, when the suspension bridge was about to rise, for some reason, the suspension bridge that was about to be fully raised suddenly fell down again!

"boom!"

The suspension bridge crashed down, leaving Li Yan and the others dumbfounded!

At the critical moment, Shi Bao, who has always been the calmest, was the first to react and shouted: "Quickly seize the city gate!"

After hearing Shi Bao's words, all the people came to their senses, and immediately they all rode their horses to seize the city gate!
The suspension bridge less than 200 meters makes Li Yan feel as long as centuries!

Before people had crossed the suspension bridge, Li Yan saw three people fighting with the defenders at the city gate. One of them, Li Yan, looked familiar, like the messenger who gave him women's clothes, and he seemed to be called Sun Fu. I don't know each other, these three people's martial arts are good, especially that Sun Fu, whose skill is not inferior to Qiu Yue's.

However, although the martial arts of these three people are good, there are more than 200 Korean soldiers at the city gate, and slowly, the city gate began to close.

Seeing this, Li Yan didn't care if he accidentally injured Sun Fu and the others, and threw out his mixed iron panlong stick with all his strength!
As soon as the mixed iron panlong stick left Li Yan's hand, it twisted towards the guarding sergeant like a propeller!
Because the soldiers guarding the city were all concentrated at the city gate, Li Yan's powerful stick hanged at least six or seven people to death, frightening the others to run away, and no one dared to close the city gate anymore!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yan drew out his general sword, rushed into the gate of the city first, and then chopped down everyone, no matter who he was!
After passing through several city gates and entering the Wengcheng, Li Yan finally saw Han Anren and the others again.

Coincidentally, the gate of Wengcheng leading to the main city has just been opened, and Han Anren and others are entering it one by one.

Seeing this, Li Yan immediately urged Shizi Cong to grab the door.

The two Korean generals saw Li Yan rushing to stop Li Yan with their swords and knives. Li Yan not only did not slow down, but accelerated towards the two of them, and then cut each of them with their swords in two!
When Li Yan rushed to the city gate, a dozen gatekeepers were about to close the gate.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the Lion Cong, Li Yan stretched his arms and pushed the city gate open again with a "slap", and all the dozen or so gatekeepers were taken away!
Another hundred people came to fight Li Yan with guns and knives. Li Yan, who was completely desperate, rode his horse and raised his sword to fight with them.

After Li Yan chopped and killed more than a dozen people, Qiao Daoqing, Shi Bao, Qiu Yue, Chen Liqing and others also rushed up, and then a group of horse troops also rushed over.

The capital of Koryo was opened, and Jingluo City was destroyed.
