In the early morning of the next day, Pyongyang's coach Pei Xuanqing and Shen Chongqian, dressed in large civilian robes, came to the tower early before dawn.
Tang Jun has been assembled outside the city for three days, and it should be almost nourishing. According to two people's calculations, today Tang Jun is likely to start a siege war.
The two ministers, who have the confidence to win, and the belief to win, know that there is no negligence in this campaign, so they came to the town wall to preside over the situation.
Unsurprisingly, the sky was bright and the army of the Tang Army was densely lit and glorious like the sea.
To be realistic, although the camp of 100,000 people is huge, it has not yet caused people to fear.
"General Pei, are the soldiers ready?" Shen Chongqian asked Pei Xuanqing calmly. Among the three kingdoms on the peninsula, Goguryeo is the closest to Datang, and is also the most affected by Datang culture. Whether it is the national system, city buildings, or official speeches, it is similar to Datang.
Pei Xuanqing said confidently: "Shengong rest assured that the soldiers are ready for the day, and they are well prepared. If Tang Jun does not come, he will let them know how powerful my Goguryeo Warriors are!"
Shen Chongqian nodded. He was in the same mood as Pei Xuanqing. Although he was frightened of Tang Jun, he had 300,000 warriors in his battle. He could be described as concentrating the essence of the nation's generals and his defensive system. Foolproof, in the face of the 100,000 Tang army, he thought that there was absolutely no reason to miss.
The Tang Jun branch went out of the battalion in turn, and entered the battlefield from each yamen, and the sky gradually became brighter.
Pei Xuanqing and Shen Chongqian closely watched each other's movements, and their eyes did not blink.
By two o'clock in the morning, the formation of the Tang army had basically taken shape, and several iron armored lakes were magnificent. The infantry formation is in the middle, the fine riding formation is on the two wings, the handsome platform is set up, the drums are set in place, and the rider swims on the flanks.
The 100,000 Tang army almost came out of the nest. In the case of extremely disadvantaged soldiers and horses, they still adopted a pattern of slicing around each other. The Tang army outside each city wall is only in the early 30,000. If it is thrown away, but the cavalry will not receive the city, only 20,000 infantry can fight.
"Tang Jun is too big, knowing that I have two Acropolises to my left and right, even if I don't divide the defense, I arrange all the military forces to attack the main city of Pyongyang. Are they not afraid that the Acropolis soldiers will attack the city?"
Although Shen Chongqian is a civilian, he has also fought with the army for many years.
Pei Xuanqing saw more things. He snorted coldly, mixed with two attitudes of indifference and scorn: "Tang Jun is not without defense against the Acropolis, but only with cavalry.
"However, their cavalry was 30,000 in total, scattered outside the three walls. They had to guard the large infantry formations and guard against attacks by elite riders in our city, disrupt the formation of the infantry formations, and guard against two acropolises. The way you line up is extremely arrogant! "
Shen Chongqian was stunned. After learning about Tang Jun's thoughts, his heart also raised his disdain. "One hundred thousand Tang army, attacking a city with 300,000 troops closely guarded, has no reason at all. With this wrong premise, they do n’t care Any arrangement will only go wrong. "
Pei Xuanqing nodded his head, "It is true. Tang Jun was wrong at the beginning, but he could only make mistakes in the future! Hum, and let them try to attack the city, I will see what Tang Jun is different. As long as Ben will see the fighter plane, he will strike thunder and let Tang Jun pay the price of blood and blood! "
Shen Chongqian arched his hand to Pei Xuanqing and flattered with a smile: "General Pei's great talent has no doubt at all that Tang Jun will be wiped out whenever a flaw is revealed."
Pei Xuanqing twisted his beard and laughed without saying a word, setting up the master's stand.
The two continued to watch Tang Jun's formation move into the offensive position. Right and left Pyongyang City did not plan to take the initiative to attack at the beginning, so at this moment neither of them need to think about anything else, both are a bit leisurely.
After the formation of the Tang Army was fully formed, and the various units had completely entered the offensive position, Shen Chongqian pointed to the stranger formation of the front of the infantry formation and asked Pei Xuanqing a little puzzlingly, "General Pei, Tang Jun Infantry What are these instruments before the battle? The trebuchet? How does it look different from the ordinary trebuchet? "
Pei Xuanqing also saw what Shen Chongqian described as the "crawler."
Before the army attacked the city, it used a trebuchet to bombard the city head first. This was a normal play. Pei Xuanqing didn't feel anything.
He was slightly surprised that Tang Jun had a lot of trebuchets, and there were more than a hundred of them outside each wall!
Although it is not a giant trebuchet, it is a small one. This type of trebuchet is also used by the Goguryeo army, but it can be used at a time, not more than a hundred.
Tang Jun actually dispatched more than 300 aircraft in one go?
However, Pei Xuanqing was just a little surprised. The national strength of the Tang Dynasty was comparable to Goguryeo. It was not surprising that more than 300 trebuchets were dispatched. Moreover, although the trebuchet is powerful, its effect is not as outstanding as expected.
It has two limitations.
One is crosshair. The trebuchet threw hundreds of steps across the boulder, and it was able to hit the head of the city accurately. There were two achievements. Most of the boulder will fall into the city. As long as the defenders are prepared, only the residential houses will be destroyed, and the casualties of the soldiers will not be too great. Even if the female wall is smashed, it is very limited.
Second, the trebuchet cannot run continuously for a long time, otherwise it will fall apart first.
In the final analysis, things like trebuchets are more prestigious, and the purpose of shocking people is even deeper. As long as there are enough monks in the city, they can block the boulder when necessary.
As for the strangeness of Shen Chongqian, Pei Xuanqing also found out that Tang Jun's trebuchets were all black, flashing a faint metal-like luster in the morning sun, and it seemed that it was not made of wood.
"It can't be made of wood." Pei Xuanqing Meizhou slightly wrinkled thought. "Apart from wood, what else can a trebuchet make? Stone?"
Thinking of the end, Pei Xuanqing almost laughed at herself.
When the hour was approaching, thundering drums rang out in the armour of Tang Jun, who was in a strong armor and grabbed spears. Little by little, the rhythm is clear, the sound is grand, as if it falls on the heart of a person, people's heartbeat can't help following its rhythm.
"Tang Jun is about to attack!" Shen Chongqian's expression became annihilated.
"Open the cloth curtain!" Pei Xuanqing shouted.
Although he didn't see the mystery of Tang Jun's trebuchet, he knew how to prepare for it, and Pyongyang City was well prepared. Under his orders, the city opened a cloud-like mantle, connected by sections, guarding the city walls behind it.
Part of the boulder blocked by the cloth mantle cannot fall on the city head or the city, which can greatly reduce the power of the trebuchet.
It was precisely because the prepared cloth mantle was also sufficient, that when Pei Xuanqing did not see the mystery of the Tang Army's trebuchet, he was still calm and steady, like Mount Tai.
With the sound of a heavy drum, under the control of the soldiers, Tang Jun threw his stones and maneuvered!
I don't know what method Tang Jun used. A large stream of light suddenly appeared on the fuselage. As the soldier slammed the hammer down severely, the huge swing arm suddenly shocked, and a hundreds of catties of "megalith" were sent. It's mid-air!
The moment the trebuchet started, Pei Xuanqing couldn't help shrinking his pupils.
The flashing light on the trebuchet was as bright as the moon, and even faintly outlined the outline of the rune array. That is a scene that only appears when the magic weapon is activated!
"These trebuchets are magic instruments? It's impossible!" Pei Xuanqing panicked and couldn't help screaming secretly.
If the trebuchet is a magic weapon, what kind of power will it have?
The trebuchet is never a magic weapon. There is no magic weapon in the world that can be made so huge. It requires not only a huge amount of cultivating resources, but also a master monk's inscription array of runes. There is no such talent in the world. !!
Pei Xuanqing knows that when Tang Jun fought with Khitan, the trebuchets were all ordinary trebuchets. It's only three years later, why did Tang Jun have a magic trebuchet?
Before Pei Xuanqing persuaded himself, "Big Stone" slid across a perfect arc in midair and smashed against the city wall with great momentum!
If Pei Xuanqing had previously narrowed his pupils, now he can't help but stare.
The "boulder" is not large, it is far from a few hundred pounds, and it is not as big as a pumpkin.
But that's not ordinary stone!
It haunts the red light, like a burning fireball, because it is so fast, dragging its tail in mid-air, it is like a small comet!
If the trebuchet just threw burning stones, Pei Xuanqing would not be surprised. Such things are common in wars. It is nothing more than wrapping a huge layer of burning cotton on the boulder. The increase in power is limited, that is, it can be used together to set fire. Effect.
But as these "stones" approached, Pei Xuanqing couldn't be more aware of it, and there was aura in it!
"Is it a spirit stone? A spirit stone with a rune array engraved on it?" Pei Xuanqing shook himself. "This is impossible! Who would use a spirit stone in this way ?! If there is an aura contained in such a large spirit stone, if one is to practice Qi A layer of monks absorb the aura, which can save them from March penance ... "
At the same time as Pei Xuanqing's heart trembled, the Lingshi fireball accurately dropped the city's head. The cloth curtains that were able to resist ordinary boulder were like window paper that was shot by a shot, and they did not have any interception effect at all!
In a short time, the spirit stone fireball smashed the city head. At the moment when it touched the city wall, the rune array in it suddenly swayed. The spirit stone exploded instantly, shattered into countless explosive flying stones, and shot around the crowd.
The soldiers at the nearby guards were directly blasted into the body by a blast. The soldiers at a distance were hit by the air waves. Not only did the body fly backwards, but the body broke and flew. The soldiers within a few feet of the soldiers Even if it was hit by a piece of gravel, it was almost the same as being hit with a hammer and a shot, the body was penetrated and blood spewed!
The spirit stone fireball stars fell like rain, and the city head suddenly fell into blood fire purgatory.
In addition to practicing monks, most of the defenders of the city were killed in the blood of the masses and lost their lives in Jiuquan! Even if it is a monk practicing Qi, if the monk is in the low section and is in the center of the explosion of the spirit stone, he will either be dismembered by flying stones or be sieved into a sieve to drink hate on the spot!
The and tragic scene in front of me made Pei Xuanqing feel sweating and exploding!
Nine stone fireballs accurately landed in the city, and the crosshairs are far from comparable ordinary trebuchets!
