Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yeon Gaesumun is also preparing to officially attack the city, because Yeon Gaesumun doesn't have much time now, so he must conquer Anshi quickly.  If we wait for reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty army to arrive, it will really not be fun.  Therefore, Yeon Gaesumun must capture the city as soon as possible, so that it can be inserted into the rear of the Tang army like a wedge, so that the Tang army cannot attack.  So he immediately ordered 10,000 troops, and then began to charge with a ladder.  This charge was just a tentative attack, so it was not considered violent.  "Hmph, if we can conquer Anshi with ten thousand troops this time, I, Yang Wanchun, will take your surname!" Yang Wanchun looked at the ten thousand troops in front of him with disdain. He thought that if he relied on these ten thousand troops, he could conquer the city that he had just defeated.  It is simply impossible to capture Anshi.  After all, Yang Wanchun is very confident in his defensive ability, but now the city he is defending has been captured in less than a day, so the enemy is not a soft persimmon.  This also made him very wary. He knew that the enemy was not someone to be trifled with.  As for him, he deliberately didn't tell Yeon Gaesumun, because he just wanted to see Yeon Gaesumun's disgraced face.  And Yang Wanchun also knew that even if he came up with ideas here, Yeon Gaesumun would not listen to his advice as a defeated general, so he wanted to get the corresponding respect, that is, after Yeon Gaesumun suffered the same failure,  Only then was Yang Wanchun able to gain the respect of Yeon Gae Suwen again.  I have to say that this idea is very perverted. Many generals simply look down on the defeated generals. They think that the enemies are also very weak.  No matter what the defeated generals say, no matter how powerful the enemy is, those generals who have not experienced it will look down on them and think that they are incompetent and that is why they failed.  At this time, those generals who lost the battle could not say anything. After all, who failed them?  And it's not like they don't want to come up with ideas at this time to avoid the failure of their colleagues.  But others didn't like his idea either.  Because they lost the battle.  At this time, those generals who failed first will hope that their subsequent colleagues will also fail. Only after they fail and become defeated generals will they respect those generals who have failed.  This kind of thinking cannot be expressed, otherwise it will be cursing one's colleagues for failure, which is probably very offending.  "Jie Shuai, this time the Goguryeo people sent 10,000 people to attack. What should we do?" Lin Fei asked.  Jing Wen spread his hands and said, "What else can be done? The soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us up! There are ten thousand people. If we really have to unleash our firepower to fight, there won't be enough for us to fill the gap between our teeth!" Jing Wen said it right.  It is indeed true, because there is a regiment of artillery here, with a total of forty or fifty cannons.  If every cannon used shotgun, then these 10,000 people would not be enough to fill the gap between teeth!  In the current Tang Dynasty, the golden finger in artillery can be said to have been crooked. It has directly evolved from the original bamboo cannon to the Napoleonic cannon of later generations.  Although it is not as good as the Napoleon cannon in every aspect, at least the principle is sufficient.  Next, you just need to slowly improve it, and it doesn't require too much.  So the Tang Dynasty was very advanced in artillery.  Almost all of them are already the standard more than a thousand years later.  So these cannons bombarded fiercely, and these Goguryeo people were not enough.  Even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, you can use grenades to blow them up.  Even if they take ten thousand steps back, even if they can have one or two fish that slip through the net and climb onto the city wall.  There are still thousands of Tang troops sharpening their swords waiting for them. When the time comes, we will have to see whether one of them can equal one to a thousand?  So Jing Wen didn't pay attention to these ten thousand enemies at all. These guys put it in one sentence.  In other words, they are just chickens and dogs.  "Don't fire the cannons for now. Just wait until they get close and throw the grenades. Let's have some fun with Yeon Gaesumun! If we scare them back all at once, then we won't have to annihilate all the Goguryeo people.  "Jing Wen said.  Jingwen¡¯s goal is to completely annihilate this Goguryeo army of 100,000 people. After all, it is not easy to have such an opportunity to annihilate them all.  If they expose their firepower prematurely and scare these guys away, I'm afraid they will completely disappear.  Now Jingwen's purpose is to kill a large number of Goguryeo's effective forces, so that they can defend the capital Pyongyang without so many troops.  The population of Goguryeo was only about one-sixth of that of the Tang Dynasty, and the number of troops it could mobilize was even smaller.  The Tang Dynasty wanted to use its superiority in troops and weapons to attack the enemy's manpower advantage. Only in this way could it be considered that it could use its own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.  ¡°These 100,000 Goguryeo soldiers are just a big fat fish in Jingwen¡¯s eyes, and now Jingwen just wants to fish.  Anyone who has ever fished knows that you cannot use too much force at once, otherwise the fish may become decoupled.  If these Goguryeo people are beaten too hard at once, then they will immediately run back to Pyongyang and then stick to Pyongyang, which will probably increase the pressure to attack Pyongyang when the time comes.    As for Yang Wanchun who has seen this kind of shotgun, this issue should not be raised.  Yang Wanchun did not really know the power of shotgun, and Jingwen also believed that Yang Wanchun would not be taken seriously by Yeon Gaesumun. After all, he was also a defeated general, and his suggestions would not be taken seriously.  This situation is actually common all over the world. Not only Goguryeo, but also the Tang Dynasty and other countries in later generations also have this situation, discriminating against those defeated generals.  Therefore, he would not take Yang Wanchun's advice seriously until Yeon Gaesumun suffered a big loss.  But also because of this situation, Yeon Gaesumun will definitely suffer a big loss. This is actually human nature, and he will never look back until he hits the wall.  "Crossbowmen, get ready to fire arrows!" Dugu Mou shouted.  A group of crossbowmen soon arrived at the top of the city tower, drawing their bows and arrows to aim at the charging Goguryeo soldiers.  According to the method of defending the city, you usually need to shoot once with a crossbow first, so Jingwen also followed this rule to defend the city, but the real difference is actually at the back.  "Shoot the arrow!" Dugumou shouted.  "Swish, swish, swish" More than a thousand arrows were shot out, and then rushed towards the Goguryeo people.  Goguryeo lost dozens of people at once, but such a small loss was not very big for an enemy of 10,000 people. The remaining Goguryeo people were still charging.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
