Chapter 3415 Death is imminent
"Wow! Thief Tang is cunning and wants to cut off my life!"
Yuan Gai Su Wen yelled, only felt his eyes go dark, and fell back.Fortunately, Jian Mou Cen was standing behind him, seeing that the situation was not good, he rushed forward to support the crumbling Yuan Gai Su Wen, seeing Yuan Gai Su Wen's face like gold paper and his eyes closed, he was terrified immediately , Shouted: "Prince Physician! Send it to the Physician!"
There was a riot of people in the hall.
Although the Tang army has already retreated, the factions in Goguryeo are divided. The foundation of the country was almost wiped out by this great war. It was suppressed only by the prestige of Yuan Gai Suwen. Goguryeo will be overthrown immediately.
What's more, the Tang army's navy is already approaching the city...
Fortunately, Yuan Gai Suwen was just mentally stressed and exhausted for many days. He suddenly heard that "Little Chang'an" was burned by a fire bomb attack by the Tang army, and countless armors and weapons were turned into fly ash.After emergency acupuncture by the imperial physician, Yuan Gai Suwen woke up under the eyes of all the ministers who were either rejoicing or disappointed.
The imperial doctor put a soft pillow behind his waist, leaned his upper body on the bed, and ordered out of breath: "Immediately order that all the armor and military equipment of every family in the city will be handed over for the purpose of defending the city. If any family hides and refuses to hand over , the whole family is imprisoned, and the head of the family is the head of the family! Hurry up and organize people to guard the city, and we must persist until the army returns to help!"
The commander-in-chief of the Tang army's navy was really ruthless. He seized the timing of the siege too well, and launched a surprise attack when the city was empty of troops.And as soon as they came up, they seized the vital point of "Little Chang'an", and fired kerosene bombs to burn all the armor and armor in it. At this time, even if the city hastily organizes its defenders, they will have no combat effectiveness due to the lack of weapons and armor. .
Even if you use human lives to pay for it, you must stick to it and go to chase Datang's troops back to help. Otherwise, Ping Rang City will not be broken by hundreds of thousands of Tang troops, but will be captured by a mere navy...
"Here!"
Jian Mou Cen got the order, hurriedly withdrew, strode forward to organize manpower to defend the city, and at the same time went to various houses in the city to search for armor.The officials of the Goguryeo court were not as strict as those of the Tang Dynasty, and they never banned weapons. Every noble family in the city kept private soldiers and hoarded armor and military equipment.Usually, we have to guard against their rebellion, but at this time, it becomes a source of supplementary ordnance...
In the hall, a group of ministers stepped forward one after another, seeing Yuan Gai Su Wen's haggard appearance, all of them were extremely affectionate and caring.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"
"The powerful enemy retreats, and the king ascends the throne, rightly leading us to strive for governance and create a prosperous world!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the mere enemy bandits are just afflicted with scabies. Relying on the power of firearms, they will make a fuss for a while, and they will surely retreat."
"The king is the pillar of the country. Take care of your health and don't make your subjects worry about it!"
……
All the ministers in the hall showed their true feelings and sincere words, but Yuan Gai Suwen only felt that it was noisy, like a bunch of flies buzzing around him, which made people have a splitting headache and feel restless.
But at this moment, we still need to work together to resist foreign aggression, and it is not easy to drive them all away, so we can only close our eyes, hold our breath, and say slowly: "The Tang army's navy attacked the city, and the city's troops are insufficient. This is due to my negligence. You must also mobilize the soldiers and civilians, go up to the city to participate in the defense, and don't let the city fall into the hands of powerful enemies! Once the city is broken, with the bravery of the soldiers of the Tang army and the sharpness of their weapons, disaster will be imminent!"
In the face of hundreds of thousands of Tang troops besieging the city, he was still calm and calm, but at this moment, he was only facing a mere navy, but he felt a sense of crisis like a thorn in his back.
The city is empty!
Who would have expected that hundreds of thousands of Tang troops were retreating northward like a tide, but this navy came to attack Ping Rang City in a unique way?
The troops under his command pursued the Tang army and slowed down their retreat. They must have arrived near the Yalu River at this moment, and it would take at least three days to return to Ping Rang City.
Can Ping Rang City last for three days?
Yuan Gai Su Wen didn't know what to do...
A minister comforted and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Tang army has always paid attention to orders and prohibitions. The more elite the army, the stricter the military law. The entire army retreated, but the navy went against the opposite direction. It was obviously disobedient. The army that obeys the military order must be a low-level mob in the Tang Dynasty, and it can only rely on the power of firearms, and it is impossible to have any combat effectiveness."
Yuan Gai Suwen closed the curtain without saying a word.
mob?
These noble ministers only stared at their own land, servants, and horses, and never cared about the affairs of the sea. They were simply ignorant and stupid!
The name of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty has already shaken the world, and the sea is invincible, but anyone who pays attention to maritime trade, how can he not know that the ocean at present has become the garden of the queen of the Tang Dynasty, and under the escort of his navy, other countries The fleet's desire to carry out maritime trade depends on its face, and it will be sunk directly if it is dissatisfied. Its arrogance is outrageous.
Moreover, the Royal Navy is not only invincible at sea, but its land combat capabilities have already been tested in Japan, Annan, etc., and it is worthy of the praise of the world's first-class military.
If such an army is not completely sure, how dare it come here to attack the city?
Another human said: "The majesty of the king has already shocked the people. Tang Jun heard the name of the king and his face changed. A group of jumping clowns dare to come to stroke the tiger's beard. They don't know how to die!"
Yuan Gai Suwen finally couldn't listen anymore, he waved his hands irritably, and said in a deep voice: "Gu is a little dizzy, I want to rest for a while, you wait and step back first."
All the ministers looked at each other, feeling Yuan Gai Suwen's dissatisfaction, they quickly knelt down to salute, and retreated out of the hall in unison.And dare not leave, in case this guy asks someone to come in and answer at any time but finds out that he is not there, in a fit of rage, the position of the official rank is light in the end, and he will never blink when he kills someone...
Just as everyone exited the hall, there was a muffled "boom". Yuan Gai Suwen, who was lying on the bed, felt that the bed under him was shaking. A vase by the bed fell to the ground, and there was a "bang" The shattering made Yuan Gai Suwen tremble with fright.
"Bastard! What's the matter?"
Yuan Gai Suwen was furious, he just wanted to take a rest, these damn servants couldn't stop for a while, why did they make such a big commotion?
The servants and imperial physicians in the palace were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, shaking like they were sifting chaff.
Jian Mou Cen, who had just left not long ago, ran in from outside the hall. Before Yuan Gai Suwen could reprimand him furiously, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The Tang army has broken the city!" !"
"what!"
Yuan Gai Suwen's face was pale, and he sat up suddenly from the bed, but he felt the world spinning for a while, and he fell down from the bed.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
The ministers outside the hall rushed in when they heard the sound, the imperial physician and servants stepped forward to help them, and the imperial guards thought something unexpected happened, so they also rushed in, and the whole hall was in chaos.
*****
Outside the city, it was snowing heavily.
The cannons roared in unison, and kerosene bombs were fired into the city, and the fire and smoke billowed from the city, stirring up the snow all over the sky.The navy is the first army equipped with artillery, and the efficiency of using artillery is unmatched in the world.This round of shelling is by no means a simple volley, but the shooting angle is adjusted every round, so that the muzzle is raised and bigger, and the shells hit farther and farther, forming a near-to-far artillery coverage.The "Little Chang'an" in the west city of Pingrang City has long been engulfed in the fire, and the artillery fire that continues to spread outwards successfully intercepted the army that wanted to rescue.
"Commander, the kerosene bombs are almost exhausted. We must save some and send them to the Goguryeo Palace after the city is broken, lest they resist in the corner and cause too many casualties in the storm."
Xi Junmai came to Su Dingfang to ask for instructions.
It is foreseeable that once the navy breaks into the city, the small number of Goguryeo troops in the city will definitely be unstoppable, and the final battlefield will be the Goguryeo Palace.Ping Rang City was planned and built by the Longevity King. Every brick and stone in the city was planned. Especially the Goguryeo Palace is well versed in military tactics, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If the enemy army gathers at the Goguryeo Palace to resist, the casualties of the navy will inevitably increase greatly when they launch a strong attack. It will be easier and worry-free to burn the entire palace to the ground with artillery fire at that time...
Su Dingfang stood in the wind and snow with his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the smoky city not far away. After a long while, he nodded and said: "Yes, the ordnance in 'Little Chang'an' has almost been burned. Even if the enemy Temporarily organize the military and civilians to resist, and there is no military equipment, so hurry up and let people go and plant gunpowder under the city gate. If the city gate cannot be blown up, what is the point of these cares?"
"Here!"
Xi Junmai strode away excitedly, called the pioneers to prepare a large amount of gunpowder, and rushed under the city gate despite the rain of arrows shot from the city.
