Datang first village

Taking a deep breath, Niu Jinda waved his hand: "Prepare for the siege!"

Several flag bearers began to wave the flag vigorously, which was the semaphore of the military communication.But Li Yuanxing didn't understand, at all.

Hundreds of heralds began to gallop with flags on their shoulders. The infantry was shrinking, forming a phalanx with a regiment (hundreds) as a unit. Siege vehicles, assault vehicles, building vehicles, and arrow vehicles began to appear in the vacated places. , the ballista was pulled out.

Li Yuanxing sat back on the soft chair slowly, and said in a low voice: "The first thing to win a war is logistics, the second is morale, and the third is armaments. Suppress the enemy with an absolutely superior armament, and win the battle with the wind." Morale is naturally very high at that time, and of course the daily education of soldiers is also indispensable!"

Li Yuan said, "Can Wulang summon Niu Jinda to play more gorgeously?"

"Victory is the key. As a coach, you can't interfere with the general's command in front of the battle. It will be messed up. Father is wrong this time, you know..." Li Yuanxing wanted to continue, but Li Yuan cursed viciously: " Shut up, I know what you want to say, the Chang'an newspaper said it, my cousin is a bastard, disturbing the generals!"

Li Yuanxing smiled and said nothing.

Niu Jinda's army has pushed out the heavy artillery, which actually has huge flaws.

One is that the cannon body is too heavy, the other is that the powder charge is too large because the purity of the black powder is not high, and the third is the most troublesome, at most three shots in a row, it needs to cool down.Just because this cannon is larger than the one installed on the ship, and it is on land, it is impossible to keep water cooling like when it is on the ship.

"Two shots!" Niu Jinda ordered.

"Bombardment! Reloading..." The captain in charge shouted. The gunners who had been trained for half a year moved in unison, quickly loaded the shells, and then stuffed the ammunition packs. Four men holding torches stood on the cannon Next, waiting for the next order.

"Battery No. [-] and No. [-] are on the right side of the city gate. Gun positions No. [-] and No. [-] are on the left side of the city gate. The target is the city wall!" Niu Jinda didn't intend to shoot. What's the point of bombing the city gate? He wants to demolish the city wall.

As the orderly shouted, all the soldiers followed suit: Kill

Four consecutive cannons sounded, and the cheers of the Tang army shook the sky, but only large blocks of bricks and stones on the ten-foot-wide city wall of Anshi City were sliding down, and the blasted bricks and stones exposed the rammed stones inside the city wall. soil layer.Ulji Mandeok was so shaken that he could barely stand, but the opponent attacked both sides of the city gate instead of blowing up the city gate, because he didn't want him to die!

Looking down at the black iron ball still embedded in the rammed earth, Ulji Wende felt a chill in his heart.

It is rumored that the magic weapon that was not displayed in the military parade of the Tang Dynasty, could it be this?

In the second round, the loud noise and strong vibration made Ulji Wende feel helpless again, and he could clearly see the panic in the eyes of the Goguryeo soldiers beside him.

On the flying boat, the Mohe envoy put down his binoculars and sneered: "Is it still necessary to fight? The Goguryeo people are already terrified. After another five rounds, the city wall will be gone, and our Mohe cavalry can enter the city to charge and kill!" The Mohe people naturally Proud, because they are Datang's allies.

The one with the ugliest face was the envoy of Gaochang, he knew the plan of King Gaochang clearly.

Is this Gao Chang playing with fire?

At this moment, Niu Jinda retreated the heavy artillery, two horses and one cannon, and retreated to the rear of the formation.Then the ones who were pulled up were the Ten Divine Fire Flying Crows.

The Envoy Mohe laughed even louder: "General Niu is having fun with the Goguryeo people, and he is probably testing the mighty weapons of the Tang Dynasty in actual combat."

Is it a test?

Niu Jinda didn't receive this order, he was just attacking the city, magnificently.

At this moment, Ulji Mundeok suddenly ordered to open the city gate and sent 3000 people to try to charge. You must know that he still has 11 people in Ansi City. When he knew that the war was about to start, he abandoned all the surrounding villages and towns. All the troops were concentrated in Anshi City, and all the food was pulled into Anshi City.

In spring, when the war starts at this time, no matter whether you win or lose, there will be nothing in the five hundred miles around the city of Goguryeo.

But if Anshi City is not defended, Goguryeo will lose its strong defense against the Tang Dynasty. Going further into the country, there will be no such a strong city, and there will be no such city with a five-foot-wide moat, eight-foot-high city walls, and a thickness of ten. Zhang's strong city.

Seeing that Ulji Wende dared to send people out of the city, Niu Jinda waved his hand: "Shenhuo pause, Daqin Liannu formation!"

Since you want to be gorgeous, you Goguryeo people give me Niu Jinda a chance to show off, let you see the terrifying weapon that you were not prepared to use.

In ancient times, the rhythm of wars was actually very slow. In many cases, a battle would last for a day, rest at night, and fight again the next day.

Ulji Wendeok lowered the suspension bridge and sent 3000 people to line up outside the city.

In Niu Jinda's army, there were hundreds of carriages running fast, and then handed over the weapons to the designated infantry.The infantry in the front line were all busy behind the shields. Ulji Wende didn't have binoculars, and he couldn't see what the opponent was doing at all.

"attack!"

These 3000 people were sent to death to test the strength of the Tang army's infantry.

When 3000 people lined up and moved forward, another [-] troops behind them began to line up.

How large is the formation of 3000 people? In terms of a square formation of 15 people, it is eight meters long and eight meters wide. Of course, it is impossible to use square formations in wars. Various formations are about [-] meters wide and about ten meters long.Thirty formations spread out and moved forward, covering an area of ​​[-] square meters, which is about ten acres of land.

These infantrymen held long wooden poles and held long and pointed shields, obviously to prevent cavalry and bows and arrows.

In such a situation, according to common sense, Niu Jinda could send 1 people to besiege him regardless of his face, or send 3000 people to a duel.Of course, once the Goguryeo people feel that something is wrong, those who are not far from the city will flee back. With the help of the support troops and the crossbow arrows on the city wall, at least [-]% of them can escape back.

"Kill these 6000 people! Great Qin Crossbow Array!"

Niu Jinda's fighting style is no longer the style of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the style of the former Sui Dynasty.It is a new generation of Qin Wang style.

With an order, the shields in front of the [-] Great Tang soldiers were brought down, and Ulji Wende only saw [-] Great Tang soldiers lying on the ground.Lying on the ground, what is this?

"Three consecutive shots!" Niu Jinda shouted, and the drumbeat changed again.

Ulji Wende saw the [-] legs supporting the crossbow and lifted it up, his face changed drastically: "Order to return to the city!"

It's too late, 3 people, three consecutive shots, using a hard crossbow supported by legs, 45 degrees of lobbing, there is no dead angle at all, a total of [-] arrows, and all of them are high-quality heavy crossbow arrows with fine steel arrows. A wooden shield can't stop such a heavy arrow at all, five breaths of time.

Just five breaths.

Before the messengers of Ulji Wendeok could order the soldiers who left the city to retreat, they saw a black cloud appearing in front of them, and [-] heavy crossbow arrows made of fine steel arrows flew over like a black cloud.

The 6000 people, whether they sent troops to test or respond, all died in just five breaths.

The soldiers didn't even feel scared because everything happened so fast.

Before they could see the black cloud, the arrows had pinned them to the ground.

[-] corpses, [-] corpses that were nailed to the ground and did not fall down at all. These people were all nailed to the front of the city of Anshi City, between the battlefields of the two armies, by heavy arrows three feet long.

Niu Jinda's battle flag fell half a foot, which surprised Li Yuanxing.

Ten thousand auxiliary soldiers ran out quickly, took back the arrows quickly, and then ran back to the rear of the army formation again.Niu Jinda didn't care about how many of those arrows could be reused. He only wanted the morale of the Tang army, and he only wanted the Goguryeo people to be afraid.

After the Tang army's auxiliary soldiers retreated, the gates of Anshi City opened wide, and 1 people ran out, carrying the corpses neatly placed on the ground by the Tang army soldiers and retreating into the city.

In front of the two armies, apart from the pool of blood proving the battle just now, everything has returned to calm.

"This is the prettiest one under Goro's picture. I'm going to give Niu Jinda a title when I go back. I'm so happy, so happy!" Li Yuan laughed loudly.

Li Yuanxing was very depressed. These generals learned really fast. They only saw the Qin King's crossbow array once in the movie, and immediately used it in actual combat. They even took back the arrows and even collected the corpses for the other party at the most miraculous moment. Opportunity, both sides seem to have acquiesced in this behavior.

Perhaps it was to clear the battlefield and prepare for another fight.After all, there are so many corpses, and the Goguryeo people are not willing to let the corpses be trampled into meat, and taking them back is also a respect for the dead.

Ancient wars seem to be more interesting than imagined!

However, the degree of bloodiness is no less than that of modern wars. It is not incendiary bombs, but artillery is the most ferocious.

Niu Jinda pulled his horse and walked towards the city wall again!

"Surrender, Ulji Boondeok!"

"Tang Jun wants to take down my Anshi City without losing any soldiers. It's a dream!"

Ulji Boondeok cursed.

Niu Jinda really wanted to tell Eulji Wende that my Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, had already pacified your Pyongyang city, and not a single soldier died, not even half of them were seriously injured.

But Niu Jinda wouldn't say such nonsense, what he couldn't prove could only be a war of words.

When Niu Jinda retreated to the front of the formation, Vulcan Flying Crow was ready.

"The whole army advances one hundred steps!" When Niu Jinda gave the order, his chief general's banner had already moved forward one step ahead.A lieutenant came over to persuade: "General, this has reached the range of the enemy's bed crossbow."

"120 steps!" Niu Jinda ordered again.

Then he gave orders to all arms: "Flying crows are ready to ignite and attack both sides of the city gate. The heavy artillery will step forward again and reload. Auxiliary soldiers are ready, ladders are ready, soldiers are ready, cavalry are ready!"

Ulji Mundeok also shouted from the top of the city: "The bed crossbow is ready, the bow and arrow are ready, the spearmen are ready, and the shield swordmen are ready."

The real blood and flesh, steel and iron impact is about to begin.

All the envoys on the Weiyuan stood up. They couldn't understand the battle of Li Yuanxing's attack on Pyongyang, but they understood the siege battle. They wanted to see with their own eyes the combat power of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued.)
