Turbulent Times Chapter 1703: Goguryeo’s subjugation and the news of the lynx
Pyongyang City is the capital of Goguryeo, and it was attacked by Wang Junlin ten years ago. The Goguryeo people paid a very painful price for it. Highly reinforced, heightened too much.
Not to mention that Li Xuanba just came with light cavalry and did not bring any siege equipment. Even if he brought Pyongyang City, he would not be able to conquer it in a short time.
Li Xuanba's gaze was like lightning, and he rode a horse and led a group of people around Pyongyang City, and finally fixed his gaze on the southern city gate.
It's not that he discovered the weakness of the South City Gate, but that he happened to look around and didn't find anything that could be easily overcome.
Fortunately, before coming here, the military mansion led by Li Jing had a careful plan for Li Xuanba's every move.
How to conquer Pyongyang City is naturally also planned-with the consent of His Majesty the Emperor, the military government strengthened the Violent Bear Legion with a hundred dead soldiers from Snake Island.
Li Xuanba did not order to set up camp, or he never thought about living outside Pyongyang tonight.
Next, following Li Xuanba's order, a hundred dead soldiers put on special full-body steel armor, wrapped their whole bodies tightly, and then rode The tall horses each fed a pill to the war horses, and rushed towards the south gate with cold eyes and indifference.
This is one hundred heavy cavalry, one hundred dead knights, and one hundred cavalry bombers.
Because the war horse had taken a special pill from the Pingan Prefecture Medicine and Equipment Department, its eyes turned red as soon as it rushed out, and it began to sprint with overdrawn life. Not only did the speed not slow down due to the increased load, it was even faster than when it was light Much faster.
Because His Royal Highness Prince Yuan boy, the guard Park and his senior generals have been killed by Mu Pipi. At this time, there are a few civil servants who command the defense of Pyongyang City, and they have no experience in defending the city. The following Grassroots officers do have some experience, but their **** decides their heads, so it is difficult to stand high in some things, and they have no power to make decisions and give orders.
So, watching a hundred cavalrymen wrapped in thick steel armor rushing towards the city gate, they didn't realize that it was a cavalry bomb, but just thought that the other party wanted to force their way into the gate.
The civil servant in charge of the south wall at the top of the city didn't wait for the heavy cavalry to rush into the range, and ordered to release arrows in a panic. next wave.
But the problem is that even if the shot is right, it's just a sound. The most powerful force can make the cavalry's body shake slightly, and the horse's body pause slightly, without causing any damage at all.
"Put the log in."
"Still a boulder."
"Pour fire oil."
Several grassroots officers were also experienced, so they immediately changed their tactics and issued orders in time.
The gravitational potential energy brought by the height of seven or eight feet, coupled with the strength and initial speed of several soldiers descending at the same time, the rolling logs and boulders are not small, and a hundred dead heavy cavalry are immediately damaged.
Amidst the muffled sound, a dozen cavalrymen were knocked off their horses before they could dodge, and their horses were knocked down to the ground. He ran to the door, like a robot that would never turn back and never stop until it completed its task.
The effect of kerosene is not good, because the steel plate armor of the hundred men and horses has been treated with fire protection.
This is also a necessary preparation for the cavalry bombs, otherwise the explosives on their bodies would be detonated by the fire before they rushed to the place. Wouldn't it be a wave of super big firecrackers for the defenders on the top of the city? There was a sound, and there was a fire and smoke.
Then it really became a joke of Da'an.
The charge of a hundred heavy cavalry is a long story, but it only took a dozen breaths from the beginning of the charge to the bottom of the city, and it was even more difficult when the defenders could attack the city. It's just three or four breaths.
So, all kinds of attacks on the top of the city add up to four or five waves.
Because they were all concentrated in a place as large as the South City Gate, these four or five waves of attacks caused nearly half of the hundred dead heavy cavalry to be damaged, but the remaining half rushed to the South City Gate smoothly. forward.
Then, there was an earth-shattering bang, and the south gate of Pyongyang City collapsed together with the city tower and turned into ruins. Thousands of soldiers on the city head were directly killed or buried.
Li Xuanba waited for the loud noise to fall, and before the dust that was stirred up landed on the ground, he led the 50,000 cavalry of the Violent Bear Legion to charge with a grim smile...
The 100,000 defenders in the city have no leader, no backbone, and the high-level generals have been wiped out in one sweep. There is a mess in communication, command, and coordination.
So, even in the subsequent street fighting, the defenders only persisted for half a day, and more than 40,000 people were killed, more than 30,000 people escaped from other city gates, and more than 20,000 people surrendered.
At this point, after a lapse of ten years, Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, was captured by Wang Junlin's army within one day.
After the news spread, the country of Goguryeo was shaken. The Goguryeo emperor Yuan Gaisuwen, who was guarding the city of Liaodong, was in a panic. And he personally led 100,000 people back to aid Pyongyang.
Of course, Yuan Gai Suwen knows how difficult it is to take back the capital Pyongyang from the Daan army, but the meaning of Kyoto is by no means a city, he
It even represents the country of Goguryeo to a certain extent. The occupation of Kyoto even means that the country has been subjugated. This has a great impact on officials and soldiers in the army all over Goguryeo.
After a long delay, the hearts of officials in various parts of Goguryeo fluctuated, the people became numb and confused, and the morale of the army was shaken.
Therefore, although Yuan Gai Suwen faintly felt that it was wrong for him to lead 100,000 people to Pyongyang City like this, but there was no other way, he could only bite the bullet and do it.
Sure enough, almost on the same day that Yuan Gai Suwen led an army of 100,000 to Pyongyang, Luo Yi of Youzhou led an army of 100,000 to the west bank of the Liaoshui River. The gunpowder package thrown by the machine easily crossed the Liaoshui River and defeated the Goguryeo defenders on the east bank of the Liaoshui River.
Next, Luo Yi broke through four military strongholds and two county towns in three days, beheaded more than 30,000 people, and approached Liaodong City.
At the same time, Liu Yidong, a land and water general stationed in An Nanguo, led an army of 100,000 and started the Northern Expedition.
Because Li Xuanba led the Violent Bear Legion to "plow" the two counties south of Goguryeo before, Liu Yidong easily captured the two counties near An Nanguo in Goguryeo in just one week. It is necessary to approach Pyongyang City and complete a victory rendezvous with Li Xuanba.
Of course, this is related to the fact that Goguryeo's county is much smaller than Da'an. It is said that there are two counties, and there are only two larger counties in Da'an.
After all, the entire Goguryeo Peninsula is only that big.
In short, although You Yuan Gai Su Wen worked hard to train soldiers for ten years, once Wang Junlin's army came, in less than half a month, Goguryeo was already facing the situation of destroying the country.
………
………
As early as the same day when Li Xuanba landed on the southern coast of Annan Kingdom by boat, Su Changqing led 20,000 fine cavalry from Mayi County in northern Shaanxi and entered the Eastern Turkic Kingdom with only three days' worth of dry food. within the sphere of influence.
Su Changqing and his party traveled thousands of miles within half a month, and wiped out seven small tribes and three medium tribes, showing their formidable combat power. Killed by Su Changqing.
For a while, everyone in the East Turkic tribes was in danger, and at this time, the envoys sent by Li Shimin also arrived at the royal court of East Turkic.
Although these years have been resting and recuperating, the Eastern Turkic people have continued to have cubs, the children have continued to grow up, and the cavalry can barely make up 300,000, but the Turkic Khan was scared and hurt by Wang Junlin back then. Tian was once again uncovered by Su Changqing, and once again felt and experienced the power of Wang Junlin's army, how could he dare to agree to the request of Tang's envoy and take the initiative to send troops to Da'an.
The final result was that Li Shimin's envoy was arrested by Turkic Khan and sent to Su Changqing.
Before Wang Junlin asked Su Changqing to suddenly send troops to the East Turkic Kingdom, the reason was that the Eastern Turkic Kingdom secretly colluded with the Tang State and wanted to harm the Da'an Kingdom. But now the other party has captured all the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and sent them over...
Faced with this situation, Su Changqing was not good at making decisions. Feiying sent a letter to Wang Junlin to ask for instructions. Su Changqing withdrew his troops.
No way, Da'an is going to unify the world and become a kingdom of heaven. China has always been a state of etiquette, but there are some things that need to be grasped. This international image must be paid attention to, otherwise it will be in the surrounding areas. There is really no benefit for the forces to come up with a threat to the great security country. It will only push all countries and forces to the hostile side.
……
……
In the west, Li Xiang's situation with the Tubo people is completely different from Su Changqing's situation with the Turks.
Because, the envoys of the Tang State successfully persuaded the Tubo people on the grounds that Da'an was rich and easy to grab, in short, the rhythm of "people are weak, food is abundant, money is abundant, and come quickly", and Tubo summoned 100,000 The army yelled at Zhangye County and Xiping County and killed them,
Faced with this situation, Li Xiang decisively changed his tactics, no longer took the initiative to fight up, but waited at the Tanggula Pass.
Based on the traffic conditions these days, when calling from Tubo Kingdom to Xiping County (near Xining, Qinghai), the Tubo people must pass the Tanggula Pass.
What Li Xiang did was also simple. He planted a lot of landmines at the mountain pass, directly blowing up the Tubo people who had never seen gunpowder weapons.
The Tubo army suffered heavy losses, and while they were terrified, many people knelt down directly facing the explosion site, throwing their bodies to the ground, not even daring to look up.
No way, for Tibetans who have never seen a landmine explosion, the fire and power of a large wave of landmine explosions, the large crater that was blown out, and the loud noise like thunder, this is not What is a miracle?
This is not a living Buddha's manifestation, so what is it?
The Tubo people's operation also stunned Li Xiang and the 50,000 men under his command, but this did not affect him leading the army to charge for a while, causing the Tubo people to suffer heavy losses and retreat in a daze.
Passing through the Tanggula Pass, the altitude rose sharply, and the weather was harsh. Even if the army went up without fighting, affected by altitude sickness, non-combat losses were severe, so Li Xiang also decisively withdrew his troops and did not catch up.
However, it was beyond the expectations of Li Xiang and Wang Junlin, who was far away in Yangzhou, to deal with the Tubo 100,000 cavalry so easily.
………
………
The problems of the east, west and north are thus easily solved.
Moreover, Goguryeo is facing the danger of subjugation, and the situation is getting worse.
It took Luo Yi three days to blow up the city wall of Liaodong City, conquer Liaodong City, and defeat 100,000 defenders. Yuangai Suwen's army to rescue Pyongyang City chased after him.
Yuan Gai Su Wen, who originally wanted to recapture Pyongyang City, did not expect the situation to deteriorate so rapidly. Seeing that he was about to fall into the encirclement of Luo Yi, Liu Yidong and Li Xuanba, he decided to go to a Khitan in the northwest of Goguryeo The tribe fled, but before they could escape, they were chased up, and finally entered a county town to defend to the death.
However, after defending for half a month, it was broken by the three-way army of Da'an Kingdom, and Yuan Gai Suwen committed suicide and died for his country.
At this point, Goguryeo fell, and the entire Goguryeo Peninsula became part of Daan.
Wang Junlin has prepared a group of officials and sent them to Goguryeo as soon as possible. Because of the foundation laid by the Annan Kingdom in the past ten years, the situation on the Koguryo Peninsula was easily stabilized, and the local governance model of the Daan Kingdom was successfully implemented. .
The four enemies of Da'an, or Tang's originally planned allies, only the six tribes of Nanzhao in the south remained.
Whether Nanzhao's side can rebel when Da'an is attacking Tang and attract Da'an's troops and energy depends on Xiao Yu.
Let Li Shimin, who was extremely depressed after learning about the situation of Goguryeo, Eastern Turks, and Tubo people, feel a little comforted that Xiao Yu's progress is quite smooth, and he has even secretly developed a group of people and established an organization. And the manpower of this organization is still growing rapidly.
In particular, Luo Cheng used Nanzhao people as the source of troops to set up the Security Department, and recruited 10,000 soldiers from the Security Department. They have already started training, and even equipped them with some of the sophisticated weapons and equipment of the Da'an Kingdom.
Xiao Yu seized this opportunity and managed to send some Nanzhao people who had already loyal to him into the army of the Department of Public Security and became officers.
It's just that this process went too smoothly, and Xiao Yu always felt a little uneasy and unsteady.
On this day, Xiao Yu received secret information from Guanzhong Chang'an, including a letter written by the mysterious national teacher.
The letter said that in the mountains to the southwest of the six towns in Nanzhao, there was a strange man named Tiangou who could control wolves, tigers and leopards and other beasts.
The national teacher of the Tang Dynasty also sent a token to Xiao Yu, saying that after the strange man saw the token, he could serve Xiao Yu.
In the letter from the national teacher, it is conclusive, saying that as long as this strange person helps, the success of Nanzhao's affairs can be increased by at least 30%.
Xiao Yu is Li Shimin's true confidant and also a high-ranking official in the Tang State. Although he doesn't know where the mysterious national teacher came from, he also knows that the national teacher has great powers. The gunpowder weapon of the Tang State came from The hand of the national teacher.
Therefore, Xiao Yu attached great importance to the news provided by the national teacher, and immediately prepared to find this strange man who could control beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
It's just that what Xiao Yu didn't know was that he made this decision, and even on the third day after he got the news of No. 1 puppet, Wang Junlin already knew about it.
………
………
"What, finally there is news about Tengu." In Yangzhou, in the Dazheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, Wang Junlin listened to Shen Guoer's report, stood up abruptly, with a look of surprise on his face, "After so many years, finally there is There's news about Lynx Maomao."
The Spring and Autumn Messenger's Xianyin Sect had two palaces among the ten sects. The Dragon Palace was directly destroyed by the army led by Wang Junlin, and the Demon Palace had subdued most of the people because it had subdued the insect monsters early.
However, there are three major secret arts in the demon palace, one is the bug-controlling technique of insect demons, the other is the hermaphrodite secret technique of human monsters, and the other is the beast king technique practiced by the masters of the demon palace in the past.
In the northwest, when Wang Junlin first met with the sects of Xianyinmen, the lynx Mao Mao, who was still a cub at that time, was taken away by Tiangou, the owner of the demon palace. Later, Wang Junlin used Nie Xiaoyu to hypnotize him After controlling the Tengu, the Tengu said that Mao Mao is the silver lynx that is one of the best among all lynxes, and there is a secret method that can make Mao Mao reborn, so Wang Junlin agreed to let the Ten Dog take Mao Mao to train for a period of time.
As a result, not long after the farewell, the Spring and Autumn Envoy was killed by Wang Junlin, and the dog disappeared that day, and the lynx Mao Mao also disappeared.
Over the years, Wang Junlin sent many people to look for the tengu and lynx Mao Mao, but they never found it. He didn't expect the tengu to be hidden in the 100,000 mountains to the southwest of the Nanzhao Six Clans.
Back then, Nie Xiaoyu used hypnosis to control the Tengu. Now it seems that No. 1 helped the Tengu break the hypnosis and hide it.
"Let Chong Lao lead a group of masters to rush to the six towns of Nanzhao as quickly as possible, and secretly follow Xiao Yu to find Tiangou...find Lynx Mao Mao."
Wang Junlin expressed emotion. After so many years, he still did not forget the scene of the newborn Mao Mao, who woke him up from the coma and saved his life by chance.
I will never forget that I regard lynx as my own son, and lynx regards him as a relative, the wonderful family happiness that one person and one beast have been together for more than a year.
