Chapter six hundred and fifteen: the city lord who was scared to pee
Cheng Chuliang and Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, how to destroy Wugu City?"
Li Min laughed, and then said to the two of them: "In my opinion, this Black Bone City is full of loopholes and can be broken with a snap of a finger. Tonight, we can take the Black Bone City."
"Tonight? I'm afraid it won't be easy, right? If we attack by force, the price we have to pay will be too high."
This time when he came to attack Goryeo, it was certainly impossible for Li Min not to bring siege equipment with him.
The siege equipment of the Tang Dynasty can be disassembled and assembled directly in front of the city wall.
But I have to say that the city of Goryeo is really disgusting.
Because they built their city on the mountains.
Even outside the city wall, it is uneven.
It is very difficult to push their siege engines to the city wall.
But the siege vehicle was very heavy and difficult to lift.
Just transporting the siege vehicles under the city wall is a very troublesome matter.
If you attack the city by force, you will definitely pay a huge price.
But this Wugu City is just a city in Goryeo.
If you pay too much for a city, how will you fight later?
Seeing their expressions, Li Min smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple. Didn't they concentrate all the defensive forces on the front wall? We can use parachutes to jump directly from the cliff into their walls.
City. From the inside out, we can capture this city in one fell swoop."
"parachute?"
Seeing the confused expressions on Cheng Chuliang and Qin Huaiyu's faces, Li Min finally remembered.
When they first attacked Nanzhao, these two goods had already arrived in Chang'an.
Otherwise, they will definitely remember that ten thousand Tang troops parachuted out and outflanked the Nanzhao army from behind.
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but smile mysteriously, and then said to Qin Huaiyu:
"Huaiyu, you lead 20,000 soldiers and lay out layers of ambush outside the city gate. You must not let anyone break out of Wugu City."
Qin Huaiyu said loudly: "My subordinates obey orders and promise to complete the mission."
The entire defense force of Wugu City only numbered more than 20,000 people.
Now he leads 20,000 soldiers to defend outside the city, making various preparations in advance.
If the enemy still breaks through, Qin Huaiyu might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill him.
After Li Min completed the mission, Qin Huaiyu led 20,000 soldiers and began to build defenses.
On the city wall, Pu Yisheng, the lord of Wugu City, couldn't help but sneered when he saw the actions of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
snort!
Are these Tang troops planning to trap us all in the city?
The problem is that the food in our city can last for a year if we live frugally.
He did not believe that the Tang army could besiege them outside the city for a whole year.
At this time, Li Min led the remaining 25,000 Tang troops and retreated quietly.
Then we quickly followed the mountain road and began to climb up the mountain.
An hour later, they climbed to the top of the cliff on one side of Wugu City.
But here, Wugu City has no defense at all.
Because in their minds, the cliff was so high that it was impossible for Tang Jun to get down.
And attacking from the top of the cliff is even more ridiculous.
Within five miles of the cliff, there is no one living at all, it is a wilderness.
What kind of attack of yours can exceed the distance of five miles?
They are not afraid of any attacks from the cliff.
At this time, Li Min had already used an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to detect an extremely flat terrain.
This place is very suitable for skydiving.
At this time, it was evening and the visibility was very good.
In the back mountain area, no residents of Wugu City would come here at all.
However, if they choose to skydive here.
Li Min felt that it wouldn't take long before the people in Wugu City discovered the opportunity.
But by then, even if they discovered it, it would be too late.
Next, Li Min began to ask more than 20,000 soldiers to start carrying parachute bags.
Then explain to them the precautions required for skydiving.
Hearing that they were going to jump from such a high place next, almost all the soldiers had a look of fear on their faces.
Even Cheng Chuliang and other generals didn't look good.
But at this time, Cheng Chuliang couldn't show weakness.
"What are you afraid of? It's just jumping off a cliff! Look at how afraid you are all! Really!"
Seeing Cheng Chuliang's performance, Li Min couldn't help but smile.
If you're not afraid, what's the trembling leg thing? Come on!
Less than half an hour later, Li Min had finished explaining everything and confirmed that everyone understood it.
Even if there is someone who doesn't understand, they will still have the opportunity to ask the people around them who understand after the skydiving begins.
Next, Li Min said: "Okay, now the explanation is complete. Next, I will be the first to jump down and show you the correct skydiving posture."
Hearing Li Min's words, both Cheng Chuliang and the soldiers were frightened.
"Your Highness, no, absolutely no!"
"This is too dangerous!"
"What if there are enemies down there?"
"If something happens, how will we explain it to the emperor?"
Hearing that the generals came to stop him, Li Min couldn't help but scolded: "Okay, everyone shut up, this is an order!"
Upon hearing this order, everyone could only shut up unwillingly.
It is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders and obey orders.
Once an order is given, it must be obeyed absolutely.
Next, Cheng Chuliang ordered all the soldiers to stand in front of the cliff, and then concentrated on watching the King of Shu's parachuting action.
Soon, Li Min jumped down.
In mid-air, Li Min sat down step by step in an orderly manner.
On the cliff, countless soldiers had tears in their eyes.
This is the King of Shu, the prince who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the Tang Dynasty!
Now, he actually takes the lead and is the first to jump into the enemy's city!
The prince is not afraid, so what are we afraid of?
If our life is dead, is it more valuable than the life of the prince?
At this moment, the cliff that they were originally very afraid of suddenly became not so scary.
Soon, Li Min opened his parachute in mid-air, and his speed quickly slowed down.
Finally, he landed smoothly, put away his umbrella, and stood aside in time.
"I'll be the second one!"
Soon, some soldiers jumped bravely.
"I'll follow!"
"I'll follow too!"
More and more soldiers jumped off the cliff.
Ahead, King Shu had already taken the lead, proving to them that they could land smoothly after jumping.
What else do they have to fear?
For a time, the entire midair was filled with various opened parachutes.
It's like flowers blooming in mid-air, it's really beautiful.
And these soldiers landed safely one after another.
After landing, they quickly put away their parachutes, then formed a team to be on alert, ready to fight at any time.
After all, they are deep behind the enemy's rear, and the enemy will discover them sooner or later.
Of course, their advantage is that this is the place with the highest terrain.
They are condescending and conducive to defense.
And when more and more soldiers jump out, they will no longer need to be afraid.
Soon, their actions were finally discovered by the Korean residents in Wugu City.
"Look! Where is what?"
"Oh my God! How come there are so many people jumping off the cliff?"
"Have these stupid pigs lived enough?"
"No, they are all carrying umbrellas! Look, their speed is getting slower and slower, they will not fall to death!"
"Oh my God! They, they jumped off the cliff. Are they going to stab us in the back?"
"It's not good, it's not good, the Tang army is coming from behind! Go tell our soldiers!"
At this time, more than a thousand soldiers of the Tang army had jumped down.
These more than a thousand soldiers have already set up a defensive position.
Behind, there was still a steady stream of Tang troops jumping down.
The number of Tang troops continued to increase.
…
At this time, Pu Yisheng, the lord of Wugu City, was dumbfounded when he heard that Tang Jun actually jumped off the cliff.
"How could they jump off the cliff? It's impossible!"
There was an obstacle at the city gate and they could not see the direction of the cliff.
Pu Yisheng instinctively felt that those people were lying.
However, there were so many people who came that Pu Yi had to believe it.
Finally, Pu Yisheng directly divided 10,000 soldiers and ordered them to quickly go to the inner city to eliminate the Tang army.
In Pu Yisheng's understanding, soldiers are more valuable than more.
The number of elite soldiers who jumped off a cliff to attack like this was at most one or two thousand, and it was absolutely impossible to exceed three thousand.
When his 10,000-strong army passes by, he can easily destroy the opponent.
And he still has 10,000 troops guarding the city here, so he can definitely defend it.
But what he never expected was that at this time, the Tang army that had gathered would actually number up to 5,000 people.
On the cliff, there were still Tang troops jumping off in the distance.
Five thousand people already have more than the ability to protect themselves.
At this time, Li Min decisively issued the order.
Order these five thousand soldiers to quickly begin to capture the inner city.
At this time, there were only a few hundred defensive soldiers in the inner city.
Facing the surging 5,000 Tang troops, they had no ability to resist and were killed cleanly.
Five thousand Tang troops quickly occupied the inner city.
When 10,000 Goryeo soldiers arrived in the inner city and prepared to annihilate the Tang soldiers, they found that the gate of the inner city was tightly closed.
Next, rounds of arrows rained down from the city wall, blinding them.
This, this, the inner city was actually occupied by the Tang army?
From this angle, we can still see that Tang troops are still jumping off the cliff in a steady stream.
no!
We must quickly seize the inner city before the Tang army is in place, and then wipe out all the Tang army.
Otherwise, once the Tang army secures the inner city.
They will face the danger of being attacked by the Tang army from inside and outside. At that time, they will be really in danger.
The next moment, the Korean soldiers launched a fierce attack on the inner city.
But what greeted them was a ruthless rain of arrows.
After attacking for an hour and losing more than 3,000 corpses, the Korean army found out helplessly.
He can't even take down this inner city.
Next, we couldn't help but fell into a stalemate.
In fact, at this time, all 20,000 Tang troops had parachuted down and were assembled.
At this time, Li Min could completely leave the city and catch them off guard.
But Li Min didn't do that.
Because Li Min saw that they seemed to be very eager to capture the inner city?
In this inner city, there live the families of all the generals in the city!
They will definitely try their best to attack the inner city.
If that's the case, why would you want to kill yourself?
To get out, we have to fight hand to hand and start a street fight with them.
In terms of terrain, the opponent still has the advantage of location and people.
Now, just wait for them to attack the city.
Thinking of this, Li Min directly ordered the soldiers to light a fire and cook.
Some people rest, and some are responsible for guarding the city.
With a total of 25,000 people, it is extremely easy to defend the city.
At the same time, Li Min also took out his walkie-talkie and talked to Qin Huaiyu outside the city gate.
"Huaiyu Huaiyu, I am Li Min."
"Received, received, Your Majesty, please speak."
"We have now gathered in the inner city of Wugu City, but I have discovered that Goryeo seems to have misjudged our strength, and they are preparing to gather their forces to attack the inner city."
"In this case, we can wait for work and rely on the city wall to eliminate their vitality!"
"So, the original plan has changed. We will wait until they attack the city tomorrow."
"So, you just need to wait quietly outside the city!"
"Yes, I understand!"
After the call ended, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but have a bit of a bad smile on his lips.
The prince is so treacherous, he actually waited for them to come to his door.
Now, it's even more interesting.
…
When Pu Yisheng, the lord of Wugu City, heard the news, he was so angry that he burst into smoke.
I didn't expect that the Tang army would be so cunning.
They actually seized their inner city in advance!
Now, the geographical advantage is actually occupied by them!
These internal enemies must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Otherwise, we must constantly be on guard against attacks from behind.
Pu Yisheng was even more afraid that the generals on his side would be emotional.
Because their families all live in the inner city.
If the Tang army does something, I'm afraid the generals on his side will go berserk!
Moreover, his family, Pu Yisheng, also had seven concubines.
They are both charming and charming.
When he thought about what other men would do to his concubine, Pu Yisheng felt furious.
no!
No matter what tomorrow, we must capture the Tang Army at all costs!
Otherwise, they may really not be able to defend this Wugu City!
If it weren't for the fact that night was not conducive to attacking the city, Pu Yisheng would have wished to attack the Tang army at night.
Because now, for Park Yisheng, every moment is suffering.
He always felt that his concubine was suffering countless blows from Tang Jun...
Early the next morning, Pu Yisheng ordered 12,000 soldiers and horses to kill towards the inner city.
Only five thousand soldiers and horses were left to defend the city gate.
There are still three thousand soldiers and horses who stayed behind forever during yesterday's siege battle.
After arriving in the inner city, Park Yisheng had not completely lost his mind. He first observed the defense situation on the inner city wall.
Then he discovered that the strength of the Tang army should be similar to what he had judged in advance, with the number being around 3,000.
After discovering this situation, Park Yisheng decisively issued the order to attack.
Twelve thousand Korean soldiers launched a fierce attack on the inner city.
Seeing this scene, Li Min sneered, and then seriously sent only three thousand soldiers to defend the city wall with great difficulty.
Of course, there were actually at least nine thousand Tang troops on the entire city wall.
These nine thousand Tang troops were divided into three squads.
Once a squad is tired of killing, they will be replaced quickly.
Moreover, their substitutions were very smooth, and Park Yisheng, who was under the city, did not find any flaws.
The defense on the city wall was extremely difficult, but what made Pu Yisheng extremely angry was that they could not attack it at all costs.
An hour passed, and Goryeo once again lost the lives of three thousand soldiers and still failed to capture the inner city.
At this time, the defense on the city wall did not seem to be reduced much.
Pu Yisheng suddenly felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.
At this time, Pu Yisheng was already hesitating whether to withdraw from the army or make other plans.
However, at this moment, a section of the inner city wall suddenly collapsed!
God help me!
God is really helping me!
Pu Yisheng was immediately overjoyed!
"kill!"
"Kill them all! Kill them all, leave no one behind!"
Suddenly, like a tide, the Korean soldiers passed through the broken gap and killed the generals.
Of course, this gap was deliberately created by Li Min for them.
Li Min is such a thief. He saw that Goryeo could not be conquered for a long time and wanted to give up. How could this be done?
Once Goryeo retreats, they will have to chase and kill them and face unfamiliar terrain.
If that's the case, why not just give them a chance to mistakenly think that the wall has collapsed and let them rush in.
Li Min is such a thief. In order to let all the Korean soldiers rush in, he even deliberately hid more than 12,000 soldiers and horses.
This was because they were afraid of scaring away the Korean soldiers.
The Goryeo soldiers who rushed in from the front found that there seemed to be many more Tang soldiers in the city than they had imagined.
But the number of people is still quite large, so it doesn't mean they can't be beaten.
If they don't fight, they will face a more terrible end.
Not long after, all 12,000 Korean soldiers rushed in.
Fighting together with more than 10,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
However, at this moment, with a wave of Li Min's hand, fifteen thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rushed out from behind again.
Damn Smecta!
At this moment, the Goryeo soldiers were almost scared to death.
Unexpectedly, Datang actually jumped in with more than 20,000 troops.
The total number of people has exceeded the defensive soldiers in their Wugu City.
Now, their Wugu City is fully equipped with only 16,000 to 7,000 soldiers.
This is a bit of a stretch.
The moment they saw the Tang army coming out, almost all the Goryeo soldiers lost their desire to fight in an instant.
There is no way, the Tang soldiers' equipment is better than theirs, and their combat effectiveness is higher than theirs.
Now there are twice as many people as them, so how can we fight?
Pu Yisheng, the lord of Wugu City, also decisively issued the order to retreat.
Unfortunately, it's easy to get in but hard to get out.
The broken city wall was only a few meters wide.
With so many Goryeo soldiers rushing forward in a swarm, it was simply not enough for all of them to pass.
At this time, the Goryeo soldiers only wanted to escape, so how could they think of staying and fighting the Tang army?
At this time, the Tang army was slashing wildly from behind. It was really a one-sided massacre.
This battle only resulted in rivers of blood.
In the end, only more than 5,000 Korean soldiers rushed out, and the remaining Korean soldiers stayed in place forever.
The ground in the inner city flowed into a snow river.
The rich smell of blood enveloped the entire inner city.
The Tang Dynasty's 25,000 soldiers basically did not suffer much losses. Under the command of Li Min, they subsequently chased and killed them.
The Goryeo soldiers had been completely killed and were so frightened that they just ran away with their heads in their hands. How could they still have the courage to turn back and fight?
At this time, even the orders from their city lord Pu Yisheng could not move them.
It’s a mess, it’s a complete mess!
If we can restrain ourselves at this time and retreat in an organized and disciplined manner.
There are 5,000 men and horses in their outer city, and in total there are 10,000 men and horses.
Depending on the terrain of the outer city, it is still capable of fighting.
But now, the situation is out of control!
The Tang army followed closely and fought all the way to the outer city.
When the five thousand soldiers in the outer city saw their army being slaughtered and routed, their hearts became confused.
"Wugu City has been lost!"
"It's lost, it's lost!"
"Everyone, run away!"
"Run away for your life!"
A soldier opened the city gate, and immediately countless Korean soldiers rushed out.
Qin Huaiyu, who was waiting outside, felt itchy in his heart when he heard the sounds of fighting in the city.
I wish I could spread my wings and fly in to fight.
But now, suddenly the city gate was opened, and countless Korean soldiers rushed out of the city.
But Qin Huaiyu was extremely happy.
"Brothers, kill! Kill the duck quickly! These are all military achievements!"
Whoosh!
Whizzing!
Those Goryeo soldiers were greeted by a rain of arrows shot from the Tang army.
One by one, the Goryeo soldiers suddenly fell into a pool of blood.
There was an ambush in front of them and pursuers behind them. These Goryeo soldiers fell into the encirclement of the Tang army!
"Put down your weapons and surrender!"
"Those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!"
As Li Min shouted these two sentences, all the Tang soldiers shouted in unison.
"Put down your weapons and surrender!"
"Those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!"
Bang!
Soon, some Korean soldiers dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.
Dang! Dang!
More and more Goryeo soldiers threw away their weapons and surrendered.
Those who resisted were all killed, and the rest were made prisoners.
At this point, Li Min took three days to capture Wugu City.
Not one of the nearly 30,000 Korean defenders in the city escaped.
Next, Li Min ordered people to clean up the battlefield and appease the people in the city.
He also escorted Pu Yisheng, the lord of Wugu City, over for personal interrogation.
Li Min glanced at Pu Yisheng first.
I found that Pu Yisheng was not tall, only about 1.5 meters tall, and he was as fat as a ball.
The face is swollen and there are dark circles under the eyes.
"This man is of no use to us, so take him out and chop him!"
After hearing Li Min's order, the two soldiers carrying Pu Yisheng immediately picked up Pu Yisheng and walked out.
Qin Huaiyu, who was beside Li Min, looked at Li Min dumbly, but he did not speak.
It doesn't make sense.
If the prince wants to kill the city lord, he can just give the order.
Why bother interrogating him?
Pu Yisheng, who was carried out, was immediately frightened to the point of peeing.
The two trouser legs were dripping wet, and a foul smell filled the air.
