Chapter 404 Goguryeo officially changed its dynasty
"Unknown army?"
"How many?"
The eldest prince, second prince and others were shocked.
This is Pyongyang City, why do unknown troops suddenly appear?
"About five to six thousand, all carrying firecrackers."
The reporter said breathlessly.
Not many people came, but the weapons they held were terrifying.
The power of fire cannons has been known to the whole world, and the consequences of a collision with fire cannons are terrible.
"An army of five or six thousand fire guns?"
The eldest prince, second prince and others suddenly felt their heads growing heavy.
Then he looked at Fang Yuan who was standing on the city.
Gao Tianzhi and the King of Goguryeo also looked at Fang Yuan with shock in their hearts.
Is this the reason why Fang Yuan has to wait for three days?
Five or six thousand fire gun troops are not many in number, but they are also terrifying.
But facing 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, can an army of 5,000 or 6,000 gunmen really win?
"Master Fang, is that your back-up?"
Gao Tianzhi took a deep breath and asked.
His title has changed to you.
"Be prepared to fight back."
Fang Yuan looked at Xue Rengui on the side and smiled slightly.
Xue Rengui nodded understandingly, took out the fireworks from his arms, lit them and released them in front of everyone.
Everyone in the city was watching, not knowing that the army that appeared outside Pyongyang was called by Fang Yuan.
"Second brother, you lead 30,000 troops to defend the city!"
"If possible, let them never come back!"
The eldest prince said in a deep voice.
"Brother, why don't you go?"
The second prince frowned and was unwilling to go.
Fang Yuan's reinforcements are coming, so Fang Yuan will also take action.
When the palace door opens, the time will come to rescue the king.
If you are not here, then rescuing the king has nothing to do with you.
It doesn't matter, I'm just afraid that the throne has nothing to do with me.
"Second brother, when did this happen?"
"Don't worry, after saving my father, we will still compete equally!"
The eldest prince pulled the second prince to his side and whispered.
Everyone knows that the two brothers are eyeing the throne.
But at this time, the two brothers cannot be too divided.
If you are like Gao Tianzhi, even if you get a high position in the future, your position will not be secure.
"Okay."
The second prince is also a person who sees the overall situation.
After thinking about it, I could only nod and leave with 30,000 people.
"As soon as we can hear gunshots, we will fight out."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
There are a thousand people here.
Among them, the usage rate of guns exceeds that of firecrackers.
One thousand versus twenty thousand is a lot of pressure, but it’s not impossible.
After all, many people don’t want to rush to the front like cannon fodder.
"Okay, okay!"
Gao Tianzhi nodded repeatedly.
Lu Tingmei also breathed a sigh of relief.
Only the King of Goguryeo looked ugly.
"People below, listen to me and attack the city with all your strength!"
"If I die, I will pass on the title of great prince!"
The King of Goguryeo suddenly stood up and shouted to everyone in the city.
Gao Tianzhi and others were stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly pulled the King of Goguryeo back.
However, Gao Tianzhi's reaction was still a little slow, and the King of Goguryeo had already finished speaking.
The eldest prince and others under the city were also stunned, and then they suddenly became restless and ready to make a move.
"Rescue His Majesty!"
The eldest prince was overjoyed and gave orders loudly.
With the king's words, he can enter the palace with confidence.
"Kill!"
The troops at the scene also suffered for three days.
For three whole days, their king was kidnapped, but they did not dare to rescue him.
Now, they finally have a chance to rescue, how can they not be excited?
The siege has officially begun!
"Damn!"
"Old guy, are you looking for death?"
On the city, Gao Tianzhi cursed the King of Goguryeo.
His words have confirmed that the eldest prince is the future King of Goguryeo.
In this way, even if he wins today, he will not be able to pacify Goguryeo in the future.
"Hahaha..."
"I am the king of Goguryeo, will I be threatened by you?"
The King of Goguryeo laughed, his eyes were so scary.
He endured it for three days, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. There was absolutely no way that Fang Yuan's side would win in Zhanjiang.
No matter what, even if I die, I can't let Goguryeo be accused by others, and I can't let the traitor Gao Tianzhi rise to power.
"I'll kill you!"
Gao Tianzhi drew his sword and was about to kill the King of Goguryeo.
But before the knife was cut off, Fang Yuan grabbed his hand.
"If you kill him now, the throne will belong to the eldest prince."
"Get ready to fight. If you win this battle, the world will still be yours."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
It would be very foolish to kill the King of Goguryeo at this time.
Keep him, if this battle is successful, then it is possible to get the signature of the King of Goguryeo.
But if he is killed, the eldest prince can ascend the throne in another place, and the palace can be left alone.
"I'll mobilize right away!"
Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.
Even if he only has three hundred now, he still has to work hard.
The strength of the Fire Gun Army is so strong, and Fang Yuan's gun is there, this battle is not without a chance of winning.
"I'll mobilize too!"
Lu Tingmei said in a deep voice.
She also brought a hundred people, who were always under her command.
In this situation, we can only accept death and see if it is possible.
Soon, both Gao Tianzhi and Lu Tingmei left, leaving Fang Yuan and the King of Goguryeo behind in the city.
"Fang Shangshu, the matter has come to this, why do you still need to cooperate with my traitorous son?"
The King of Goguryeo looked at Fang Yuan with gloomy eyes.
He wished he could cut Fang Yuan into pieces with a thousand knives, making Fang Yuan's life worse than death.
If it weren't for Fang Yuan, what happened today would definitely not have happened. Gao Tianzhi didn't have that ability.
However, he currently can't think of Fang Yuan, and he doesn't even dare to think of Fang Yuan.
After today, Goguryeo may suffer heavy losses, and it is difficult to estimate the outcome.
We can only see if we can convince Fang Yuan not to support Gao Tianzhi anymore.
"You also know that this is the case, how can I withdraw?"
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
He has many plans.
They even mobilized the gunfire army from Japan.
The Japanese side was almost victorious, but Fang Yuan was directly transferred here.
The Japanese side was so angry that they had to fight with Silla and Baekje with real swords.
"I hope you won't regret it!"
The King of Goguryeo said bitterly when he saw that he could not convince Fang Yuan.
Now, let yourself stand on the city and see who is better.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and did not answer the King of Goguryeo's words.
He had the King of Goguryeo bound and even blocked his mouth.
Bang, bang, bang...
Below the city, the eldest prince has ordered an attack on the city.
More than 20,000 people attacked the city with great momentum, terrifying and intimidating.
Above the city, Gao Tianzhi and Lu Tingmei came back again and arranged manpower to defend the city.
The place is high up and the distance is short. Fireguns are the best way to defend the city, and you don’t have to worry about being accidentally changed when changing bullets.
Bang, bang, bang...
Firecrackers sounded.
The soldiers attacking the city below fell one by one.
Ordinary shields are useless, and the specially made firecrackers are very heavy, and you will not have the strength to attack the city while holding the firecrackers.
"Bow and arrow cover!"
"Send another group of siege soldiers to protect the siege soldiers!"
The eldest prince gave the order.
Modify the siege plan.
However, it is difficult to reduce the attrition of siege soldiers even with the support of archers and the blocking of firecrackers.
Because the fire baffle can only block the sides, but not the top of the head.
However, the support of archers also brought harm to Gao Tianzhi's soldiers, and some soldiers were accidentally hit by arrows.
The number of people was already very small, and if they were accidentally hit by an arrow, Gao Tianzhi and Lu Tingmei were under great pressure.
"Whoever breaks the city will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and wins three levels in a row!"
"Go!
”
The eldest prince is here to cheer up the soldiers.
But the fallen soldiers made the soldiers attacking the city want to retreat.
So the eldest prince personally went on stage to beat the drums to encourage the soldiers who were attacking the city.
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the soldiers attacking the city turned red and their morale was high.
Ten thousand taels of gold was money they would never earn in their lifetime, and winning three levels in a row made them even more excited.
"Rush!"
"Rush!"
"Rush!"
The siege soldiers went crazy.
They carried big wooden sticks and sprinted sharply.
After repeated collisions, finally, cracks appeared in the city gate.
"Hold on!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Lead the firecrackers to the city gate.
Hundreds of guns were pointed at the door, and the black muzzles were very threatening.
Bang!
Finally, in a fierce collision, the city gate was opened.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The eldest prince and others were overjoyed.
Immediately command the army to attack the palace.
The city gate has been broken, is victory still far away?
The 20,000-strong army immediately rushed towards the palace gate.
The eldest prince seemed to see the dawn of victory right before his eyes.
However, the King of Goguryeo above the city did not think so.
He looked at Fang Yuan underground and the row of fire gun troops in front of Fang Yuan, frowning.
"Shoot!"
Fang Yuan saw that the soldiers had rushed to the city gate and immediately gave the order.
Bang, bang, bang...
Gunshots rang out.
Six hundred gunmen fired in the direction of the city gate.
Thick bullets were shot out, and the soldiers who rushed into the city gate were shot and fell to the ground.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Screams broke out again and again.
Before the city gate could be broken through, people were already on the ground.
"Don't be afraid, rush!"
The eldest prince felt his scalp numb, but he still supported him strongly.
Fireguns are powerful, but they are only slightly more powerful than bows and arrows, so they are not something to be afraid of.
The war drums continued to sound, and the soldiers continued to sprint.
However, one by one fell down, but in the end they failed to rush into the city gate.
What's even more terrifying is that at the city gate there are piles of corpses as high as a hillside.
"Stop!"
Fang Yuan ordered.
Have someone check how many bullets are left.
Seeing that the city gate in front was almost blocked, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the power of the gun. As long as the distance is far enough, the enemy cannot reach you.
"Isn't that awesome?!"
Xue Bowu and Xue Rengui couldn't help but sigh.
They have always known how powerful guns are, but they never thought they could be so powerful.
With such a powerful weapon, it’s not easy to destroy any country in the future?
Above the city, Gao Tianzhi and others cannot see what is going on inside the city gate.
However, they could see that the attacking soldiers slowly stopped and could not rush in.
They couldn't rush in and stayed at the door. It was much more convenient for the fire gun army to shoot immediately, which was simply a harvest of lives.
Under attack from two sides, the eldest prince's army had no choice but to retreat, and the first wave of attacks failed.
Gao Tianzhi and Lu Tingmei breathed a sigh of relief and ordered them to guard the city. They went down to take a look.
When they saw the corpses inside the city gate, their eyes couldn't help but widen.
"Asshole, why did you retreat?!"
The eldest prince didn't understand why and cursed at the general who commanded the army.
"Prince, you can't rush in, there are all corpses!"
The general looked panicked and pointed at the city gate.
It's so terrible that I can't rush in because the corpse blocks my way.
Those who rushed in front were all dead, all killed by terrible weapons.
In such a terrible situation, I still don’t dare to upgrade to the third level even if I have ten thousand taels of gold.
"What nonsense?"
The eldest prince was so angry that his eyes turned green.
He changed direction and looked towards the city gate.
Seeing this, he was also very frightened.
The city gate is several meters high, but the corpse is also several meters high.
Looking at it this way, it seems that there is really no way to rush in.
It’s terrible. How can we win with such a powerful weapon?
"Report!"
"The second prince disappeared, and unknown troops entered Pyongyang City!"
Scout report.
"What?"
The eldest prince almost fainted.
Just a few people in front of you are already so terrifying.
If another five or six thousand come, what kind of victory will I have?
The second prince disappeared, how could he disappear?
The eldest prince was so angry that he almost fainted.
But soon, he thought about why the second prince disappeared.
Maybe it was because the king wanted to pass the throne to him and he knew that he had no hope of winning the throne, so he didn't want to fight.
"Reinforcements have entered Pyongyang City!"
"Master Fang, did you hear that we are in sight of victory!"
Gao Tianzhi jumped up with excitement.
The reinforcements are Fang Yuan's reinforcements, which are also his own reinforcements.
They came in, and the second prince led an army of 30,000 people to nowhere.
Victory is in sight!
Victory is in sight!
Lu Tingmei was also very excited.
"Start counterattack!"
Fang Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice.
Now that the reinforcements have moved in, it’s time to cooperate with them.
"Let's go out the other way!"
Gao Tianzhi nodded repeatedly and prepared to take a detour.
But at this moment, he remembered the King of Goguryeo on the city.
We have to take him up here to avoid being rescued or causing an accident.
Soon, Gao Tianzhi walked to the city and brought the King of Goguryeo down.
When the King of Goguryeo saw the corpse in the city gate, he immediately couldn't walk.
"Old guy, leave quickly!"
When Gao Tianzhi saw that the King of Goguryeo was not moving, he pushed him.
"Woo!"
The King of Goguryeo struggled, shook his head, and gestured to remove the object from his mouth.
"What?"
Gao Tianzhi frowned, but took away the thing that blocked the mouth of the King of Goguryeo.
"I am willing to surrender, pass the throne to you, and let the war cease."
The King of Goguryeo sighed and said.
After saying that, my whole body seemed to have no strength and I had aged several years.
Fang Yuan and others were stunned by these words, and for a moment they thought they had heard wrong.
So, there’s no need to fight anymore?
"You, what did you say?"
Gao Tianzhi said tremblingly.
Lu Tingmei also stared closely at the King of Goguryeo.
"No need to fight, you win, I will pass the position to you."
The King of Goguryeo said in a deep voice.
Looking at the situation at hand, if we continue to fight, we will only die more.
Goguryeo is already weak, and if it continues to die like this, it will be invaded sooner or later.
Although Fang Yuan is invading now, at least he is still the king.
But if this continues, Goguryeo may be subjugated like Tuyuhun.
Times have changed. It is no longer the era of knives and swords, but the era of firecrackers and spears. It is the era of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the era of Fang Yuan.
