Chapter 320
The actions of the new army made it clear that they wanted to besiege the city.

The king of Joseon on the city wall and all the ministers of Joseon trembled in their hearts.

In their eyes, before the Han army arrived in Pyongyang, what these people held was to consume the food and supplies of the new army through the tactics of defending the city, so as to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting, and let the new army know the difficulty And retreat.

But now, as soon as the siege was lifted, these people became a little flustered.

The pressure brought by the Han Dynasty to North Korea was not so great.

Since ancient times, the existence of the suzerain country has made them fearful by nature.

In addition, the regime of Weiman Korea was established by the defected generals under Liu Bang in the early Han Dynasty, so when facing the Han army, the pressure was even higher.

"My lord, they are going to besiege the city, why don't we."

Some ministers panicked in their hearts.

The same is true for the King of Joseon, but as the king, he is better than these ministers.

"Wei Sanjueyi, what they want is for us to run away, we can't be fooled, otherwise we will be doomed!"

From the actions of the new army, it is not difficult for the King of Joseon to see their purpose.

How can a siege battle be fought in the field?

Although the soldiers of the new army are not afraid, if there is a better way to take Pyongyang, why not use it?
The banners were unfurled, and Pyongyang was besieged on three sides.

If there are ministers who are afraid on the city wall, there will naturally be those who are not afraid.

Weiman Korea was originally established by Weiman, a general under the command of King Lu Wan of Yan, so there are many Yan people in North Korea.

The people of these two countries are already tough and have abundant martial virtues. Now that they have not fought, they will not surrender easily.

The North Korean general Wang Kuang stood with his hands folded: "Your Majesty, the Han army's siege doesn't know if it's true or not, so let's spend it first. If this is a deceptive move by the Han army, we will see the clue within ten days."

Minister Han Yin and Minister Nixi of North Korea also spoke at the same time: "What General Wang said is reasonable, and the ministers and others are seconding."

The civil servants and the leading military commanders all said this, but the other North Korean courtiers remained silent. Although they were afraid and panicked, they hadn't fought yet, and it was impossible to know the strength of the Han army.

North Korean Wang Wei Youqu nodded as he looked at the orderly formation of the Han army below the city.

"What you dear ministers said is reasonable, but they should not be underestimated. North Korea's border is inherently rugged. They were able to arrive in Pyongyang without us knowing. It can be seen that most of them are elite soldiers."

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

On the city wall, all the ministers of North Korea bowed their hands towards Wei Youqu.

Joseon King Wei Youqu waved his hand and drove back to the palace.

Although he was speaking impassionedly, Wei Youqu's trembling left hand represented that his mind was not calm at the moment.

This time the Han army moved too quickly.

He just wanted to covet Liaodong, and after only a little mobilization, the Han army arrived, and they arrived without anyone noticing in such a rugged terrain on the border of North Korea.

All this shows that the Han army is no longer the Han army in his cognition.

Fortunately, now that the officials are all focused on fighting, he has more confidence in his heart.
-
"General, the defenders on the city wall have moved. It looks like they are determined to hold on."

With the use of binoculars and the good weather, almost all the personnel transfers on the city wall of Pyongyang were seen by the generals of the new army.

"Oh, it seems that there are still some barbarians who know tactics. Also, judging from the information collected by weaving the net, the king of Joseon is the heir of a general under the command of King Yan of the Han Dynasty. He should have such abilities, otherwise he would not covet the Liao land. heart of."

"Let the manipulator captain come over."

The general of the New First Army spread out a map of North Korea's territory, and gave instructions to the general who came in to report.

"promise!"

The general handed over his hands, put the binoculars back into his waist, and turned to go out.

After a while, the general left and returned, and there was another person by his side.

"Sun Fu, Lieutenant of the School of Mechanical Engineering, has met the general!"

"Well, how many first-stage operators are there in your department?"

"Reporting to the general, there are 120 people in our department, and 360 seven people have completed the first phase of training."

"Maybe build a siege machine?"

"Yes, but most of the supply ships brought food and grass this time, and there are not many equipment parts. The latest type of trebuchet ballista cannot be assembled, and only the original model can be completed."

"Then go to logging and building, and dig rocks to configure ammunition. The purpose of this time is to put pressure on Pyongyang City. The original model should be enough."

"promise!"

Sun Fu, the captain of the school of mechanics, walked away.

The general of the new first army looked at the general: "Let the second and third armies synchronize."

"promise!"

For several days.

There is peace inside and outside Pyongyang.

The new army performed martial arts every day, but they never made any offensive moves.

As for the defenders of Pyongyang City, the general Wang Kuang made daily inspections to boost morale, and Wei Youqu rewarded the whole army, and for a while he looked like an elite soldier.

And in this peace.

The rear of the three armies is intensively making siege equipment.

Without exception, all three armies are only engaged in the assembly of trebuchets.

For this march, they didn't carry any luggage at all, and everything was transported by the logistics team of the Sea Materials Division.

The first batch of arrivals were mostly grain and grass, and the parts were just brought along, so it didn't allow the operators of the three armies to flex their muscles.

We worked intensively for four or five days.

On the morning of the sixth day.

A series of sirens sounded from the walls of Pyongyang City.

"The Han army is attacking!"

"The Han army is attacking!!"

I saw that under the darkness of last night, nine trebuchets were quietly sent under the three city walls.

North Korea is different from the Han army, and the city defense equipment is simply incomparable.

The big crossbows they handle today are still the style of the early Han Dynasty decades ago. No matter in terms of range or power, they are inferior to the rhubarb crossbows and kicking crossbows of the Han Dynasty today.

With the help of the telescope, the new army naturally discovered this.

Therefore, the stone trebuchets stopped steadily a hundred steps away from the effective range of the city defense equipment.

In this chilly morning.

The nine roaring trebuchets were like mandrills and hungry ghosts seeking their lives.

The crackling sound of a series of boulder collisions completely broke the silence of Pyongyang City!
Korean royal palace.

"My lord!! The Han army is attacking!"

"what!"

Hearing the shout, Wei Youqu woke up from the gentleness in a single suit.

The illusion brought about by the peace of the past few days disappeared at this moment.

bang bang bang-

Even in the palace.

Wei Youqu still felt a slight vibration.

"Change!"

Wei Youqu yelled, and while being served by the maids, he simply put on a big cloak, and then drove out of the palace.

General Wang Kuang was in the city gate tower, and he woke up the moment the stone bullets from the trebuchet hit the city wall.

There was a sound of footsteps on the city wall, and all the defenders bent over and walked under the parapet.

"The city wall is damaged!"

Wang Kuang asked loudly.

Looking through the horse's face, a North Korean general replied loudly.

"There is no gap between the seals!"

"Yes."

boom!
What else would the general want to ask for instructions?

Suddenly, like a stroke of magic, a stone bullet passed through the gap between the parapet and the parapet and hit him on the head with precision.

Blood splattered everywhere, and he was caught off guard without a trace of pain,
