Chapter 1703 The news of Koguryo's subjugation and lynx
As the capital of Goguryeo, Pyongyang City was attacked by Wang Junlin ten years ago. The Goguryeo people paid a very heavy price for it. Therefore, in the past ten years, under the promotion of Yeon Gaesumun, it was heightened and reinforced.
It's too high.
Not to mention that Li Xuanba only 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 eyes were as bright as lightning. He rode a horse and led a group of people around Pyongyang City, and finally fixed his gaze on the southern city gate.
It wasn't that he discovered the weakness of the south city gate, but that after just looking around, he didn't find anything that could be easily conquered.
Fortunately, before arriving, the military government led by Li Jing had carefully planned every move made by Li Xuanba.
Naturally, there was also a plan on how to conquer Pyongyang City - 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 the camp to be set up, or in other words, he never thought about staying outside Pyongyang tonight.
Next, following Li Xuanba's order, one hundred dead soldiers wore special full-body steel armor on their bodies, wrapping their whole bodies tightly, and then rode tall horses that were also covered in iron armor.
He fed the war horse a pill and rushed towards the south gate with cold and indifferent eyes.
This is a hundred heavy cavalry, a hundred dead knights, and a hundred cavalry bombs.
Because the war horse had taken some kind of special pill from the Safety Prefecture Medicine Department, its eyes turned red as soon as it rushed out, and it began to use up its life to sprint. Not only did the speed not slow down due to the increase in weight, it was even much faster than when it was lightly loaded.
.
Because His Royal Highness Prince Yuan Nan, the guard general Park and his senior generals have been killed by Mu Pippi. At this time, the people commanding the defense of Pyongyang City are a few civilian officials with little experience in defending the city. The lower-level officers below have arrived.
I have some experience, but my butt determines my head, so it’s difficult to take a high position on some matters, and I don’t have the power to make decisions or issue orders.
Therefore, when I saw a hundred cavalrymen wrapped in thick steel armor rushing towards the city gate, I didn't realize that it was a cavalry bomb, but I just thought that the other party wanted to force the door.
The civil servant in charge of the south wall on the city wall did not wait for the heavy cavalry to rush into the shooting range, and ordered the arrows to be fired in a panic. Fortunately, there were enough soldiers on the city wall. One wave of shots was not accurate, and there was still another wave.
.
But the problem is that even if the shot is accurate, it will only make a sound. The powerful one will at most make the cavalry sway slightly and the war horse's body pause slightly, without causing any damage at all.
"Put the log in."
"Still a boulder."
"Pour in the kerosene."
Several junior officers were experienced, so they immediately changed their tactics and issued orders in a timely manner.
The gravitational potential energy brought by the height of seven to eight feet, coupled with the strength and initial speed of several soldiers falling down at the same time, the rolling logs and boulders were very powerful, and a hundred dead heavy cavalry were immediately damaged.
Amid the muffled groans, more than a dozen cavalrymen were knocked off their horses as they were unable to dodge, and they were left wondering whether they were alive or dead. There were also about a dozen cavalrymen whose horses were knocked to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. However, the cavalrymen above got up again and ran towards the city gate on foot.
, like a robot that will never look back or stop until it completes its task.
The effect of kerosene was not effective, because the steel plate armor of these one hundred people and horses was actually treated with fireproofing.
This is also a necessary preparation for cavalry bombs. Otherwise, the explosive bags on them would be detonated by fire before they could rush to the place. Wouldn't it be like setting off a wave of super large firecrackers for the defenders on the city top?
, looked at the fire and smoke.
That would really become a joke in Da'an Country.
The charge of a hundred heavy cavalry is a long story, but it only took ten breaths from the beginning of the charge to the city head, and three or four seconds from the time the city head defenders could attack to the city gate.
Just rest.
Therefore, the total number of attacks on the city is only four or five waves.
Because they were all concentrated in a large area like the South City Gate, these four or five waves of attacks destroyed nearly half of the hundred dead heavy cavalry, but the remaining half successfully rushed to the South City Gate.
Then, there was an earth-shaking loud noise. The South Gate of Pyongyang City and the city tower collapsed and turned into ruins. Thousands of soldiers on the top of the city were directly killed or buried.
Li Xuanba waited for the loud noise to subside and for the dust to fall to the ground before he grinned and led the 50,000 cavalrymen of the Violent Bear Legion to charge...
The 100,000 defenders in the city were leaderless and without a backbone, and all the high-ranking generals were wiped out. Communication, command, and coordination were all in disarray.
Therefore, even in the subsequent street fighting, the defenders only persisted for most of 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 ten years, Pyongyang City, the capital of Goguryeo, was captured by Wang Junlin's army in one day.
After the news spread, the whole country of Goguryeo was shocked. The Goguryeo Emperor Yeon Gaesumun, who was guarding Liaodong City, was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood that day, and then left 100,000 troops to guard the border to prevent Luo Yi from Youzhou from taking the opportunity to kill him, and he personally
Leading 100,000 troops back to Pyongyang.
Yeon Gaesomun certainly knew how difficult it would be to recapture Kyoto and Pyongyang City from the Daanguo army, but the meaning of Kyoto was definitely not just a city.
It even represents the country of Goguryeo to a certain extent. The occupation of Kyoto even means that the country has been destroyed. This has a great impact on officials in various parts of Goguryeo and the soldiers in the army.
As time went by, officials in various parts of Goguryeo became distraught, the people became numb and confused, and the army's morale was shaken.
Therefore, although Yeon Gaesomun vaguely felt that something was wrong with him leading 100,000 people to Pyongyang City like this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
Sure enough, almost on the same day that Yeon Gaesomun led an army of 100,000 people back to Pyongyang City, Luo Yi of Youzhou led an army of 100,000 people and rushed to the west bank of the Liao River. They used the fast pontoon bridge recently produced by the Daan Guogwu Research Institute to cooperate with the projectiles thrown by the giant trebuchet.
With gunpowder packs, they easily crossed the Liao River and defeated the Goguryeo defenders on the east bank of the Liao River.
Next, Luo Yi defeated four military strongholds and two county towns in three days, beheading more than 30,000 people, and approached Liaodong City.
At the same time, Liu Yidong, the land and water general stationed in Annan Kingdom, led an army of 100,000 to begin the Northern Expedition.
Because Li Xuanba led the violent bear army to "plough" the two counties in the south of Goguryeo, Liu Yidong easily captured the two counties in Goguryeo near Annan in just one week, and was about to approach Pyongyang.
City, and completed a victorious rendezvous with Li Xuanba.
Of course, this is related to the fact that the area of Goguryeo's counties is much smaller than that of Da'an. It is said that there are two counties, but in Da'an it is only two larger counties.
After all, the entire Goguryeo Peninsula is only that big.
In short, despite Yeon Gaesumun's hard work training for ten years, when Wang Junlin's army came, in less than half a month, Goguryeo was already facing the situation of annihilation.
…………
…………
As early as the same day that Li Xuanba landed on the southern coast of Annan Kingdom by boat, Su Changqing led 20,000 elite cavalry from Mayi County in northern Shaanxi, carrying only three days of dry food, and entered the sphere of influence of the Eastern Turkic Kingdom.
within.
Su Changqing and his party traveled thousands of miles in half a month and wiped out seven small tribes and three medium tribes, showing strong combat power. Even if the Turks gathered 50,000 cavalry, they were easily led by Su Changqing in the field battle.
People were killed and defeated.
For a time, everyone in the Eastern Turkic tribes, large and small, was in danger. At this time, the envoys sent by Li Shimin also arrived at the royal court of Eastern Turkic.
Although they were resting and recuperating in these years, the Eastern Turks continued to give birth to babies, their children continued to grow up, and their cavalry could barely collect 300,000. However, the Turkic Khan was frightened by Wang Junlin back then, and the beating hurt. In the past few days, he has been beaten again
Su Changqing once again opened the scars and felt and experienced the power of Wang Junlin's army again. How could he dare to agree to the request of the Tang envoy and take the initiative to send troops to Da'an.
The final result was that Li Shimin's envoy was captured by the Turkic Khan and sent to Su Changqing.
Previously, Wang Junlin asked Su Changqing to suddenly launch troops against the Eastern Turks. The reason was that the Eastern Turks secretly colluded with the Tang State and wanted to harm the Da'an Kingdom. But now the other party has arrested all the Tang envoys and sent them over...
Faced with this situation, Su Changqing could not make the decision, so Feiying sent a message to Wang Junlin for instructions. Although Wang Junlin was a little regretful that the Turkic Khan was so understanding, he also knew that the Turks could no longer be bullied, so he ordered Su Changqing to withdraw his troops.
There is no way, the Da'an Kingdom wants to unify the world and become a kingdom of heaven. China has always been a country of etiquette, but some things have to be controlled within a certain degree. This international image must be paid attention to, otherwise the surrounding forces will cause chaos.
A theory of national security threat is really of no benefit at all and will only push all countries and forces into hostility.
………
………
In the west, Li Xiang faced the Tubo people, but the situation was completely different from Su Changqing's situation facing the Turks.
Because the envoys from the Tang State successfully persuaded the Tubo people on the grounds that Da'an was rich and easy to rob. In short, they followed the rhythm of "the people are weak, the food is plentiful, the money is plentiful, come quickly", and Tubo mobilized a hundred thousand troops to march to Zhangye.
Jun and Xiping Jun came over to kill them with howls.
Faced with this situation, Li Xiang decisively changed his tactics and no longer took the initiative to attack, but waited at Tanggula Mountain Pass.
With today's traffic conditions, the Tubo people must cross the Tanggula Pass when traveling from Tubo to Xiping County (near Xining, Qinghai).
What Li Xiang did was simple. He planted a lot of mines at the mountain pass, and the Tubo people who had never seen gunpowder weapons were blown up and stunned.
The Tibetan army suffered heavy losses and were extremely frightened. However, many people knelt down directly in front of the explosion site and fell to the ground, not even daring to look up.
There is no way, for the Tibetan people who have never seen a landmine explosion, the fire and power of a large wave of landmine explosions, the big crater created, and the loud sound like thunder, this is not a miracle.
What?
This is not the appearance of the Living Buddha, so what is this?
This operation of the Tubo people also dumbfounded Li Xiang and his 50,000 troops, but this did not prevent him from leading the army to charge and kill, causing the Tubo people to suffer heavy losses and retreat in confusion.
After passing the Tanggula Pass, the altitude increased sharply and the weather was harsh. Even if the army did not fight when it went up, the non-combat attrition was severe due to altitude sickness, so Li Xiang decisively withdrew his troops and did not catch up.
However, how easily the 100,000 Tubo cavalry were defeated was beyond the expectations of Li Xiang, Wang Junlin and others who were far away in Yangzhou.
…………
…………
The problems of the east, west and north are easily solved in this way.
Moreover, Goguryeo was facing the danger of subjugation, and the situation was getting worse and worse.
Luo Yi spent three days to blow open the city wall of Liaodong City, conquered Liaodong City, defeated a hundred thousand defenders, and then left 30,000 troops to garrison Liaodong City and surrounding military strongholds. Outside the counties and counties, he chased Yuan Gaisu.
Wen's troops who were rescuing Pyongyang City came after them.
Yeon Gaesomun, who originally wanted to retake Pyongyang City, did not expect that the situation would deteriorate to such an extent. Seeing that he was about to fall into the encirclement of Luo Yi, Liu Yidong and Li Xuanba, he decisively fled to a Khitan tribe northwest of Goguryeo.
But before he could escape, he was chased and finally entered a county to defend himself.
However, after defending it for half a month, it was defeated by the three-pronged army of Daan Kingdom. Yeon Gaesomun committed suicide and died for his country.
At this point, Goguryeo was subjugated and the entire Goguryeo Peninsula became part of the Daan Kingdom.
A group of officials that Wang Junlin had prepared long ago were sent to Goguryeo as soon as possible. Because of the foundation laid by the Annan Kingdom in the past ten years, it was easy to stabilize the situation on the Goguryeo Peninsula and smoothly implement the Da'an Kingdom's model of local governance.
The enemies of the Da'an Kingdom on all sides, or the originally planned allies of the Tang Kingdom, were reduced to the six Nanzhao tribes in the south.
Whether Nanzhao can rebel when Da'an is attacking Tang and attract Da'an's troops and energy depends on Xiao Yu.
What comforted Li Shimin, who was extremely depressed after learning about the situation of Goguryeo, Eastern Turks, and Tubo people, was that the progress on Xiao Yu's side was going quite smoothly, and he had even secretly developed a group of people and established an organization, and this organization
The manpower is still growing rapidly.
In particular, Luo Cheng established the Public Security Department with the Nanzhao people as a source of troops, recruited 10,000 soldiers from the Public Security Department, and started training. They were even equipped 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 were already loyal to him into the army of the Public Security Department and became officers.
However, this process went too smoothly, and Xiao Yu always felt a little uneasy and uneasy.
On this day, Xiao Yu received secret information from Chang'an in Guanzhong, including a letter written by the mysterious national master.
The letter said that in the mountains southwest of Nanzhao Sixth Town, there was a strange man named Tiangu who could control wolves, tigers and leopards and other wild animals.
The imperial master of the Tang Dynasty also sent a token to Xiao Yu, saying that after seeing the token, the strange man could serve Xiao Yu.
And the Imperial Preceptor's letter was very conclusive, saying that as long as he had the help of this strange person, the success of Nanzhao could be increased by at least 30%.
Xiao Yu is Li Shimin's true confidant and a high-ranking official in the Tang State. Although he doesn't know where the mysterious Imperial Preceptor came from, he also knows that this Imperial Preceptor has great magical powers. The gunpowder weapons of the Tang State came from this Imperial Preceptor.
The hand of the teacher.
Therefore, Xiao Yu attached great importance to the news provided by the Imperial Master, and immediately prepared to find this strange man who could control beasts in the Shiwan Mountains.
However, what Xiao Yu didn't know was that Wang Junlin already knew about this decision on the third day after he got the news about Puppet No. 1.
…………
…………
"What, there is finally news about the Tengu." In Yangzhou, in the Dazheng Hall of the Royal Palace, Wang Junlin listened to Shen Guoer's report and stood up with a look of surprise on his face, "After so many years, there is finally a Lynx Maomao. News.”
There were two palaces among the ten sects of the Immortal Yin Sect of the Spring and Autumn Messenger. The Dragon Palace was directly destroyed by the army led by Wang Junlin, and the Demon Palace conquered the insect demons early and later also conquered most of the people.
However, there are three secret arts in the Demon Palace, one is the insect control technique of insect monsters, 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.
Back in the northwest, when Wang Junlin first met the sects of the Immortal Yin Sect, the lynx Maomao, who was still a cub at the time, was kidnapped by the Tengu, the master of the Demon Palace. Later, Wang Junlin used hypnosis to control the Tengu through Nie Xiaoyu. The Tengu said that Maomao was the only silver lynx among ten thousand lynxes, and there was a secret method that could transform Maomao. Wang Junlin agreed to let the Tengu take Maomao to be cultivated for a period of time.
As a result, not long after this farewell, the Spring and Autumn Messenger was killed by Wang Junlin. The dog also disappeared that day, and the lynx Maomao also disappeared.
Over the years, Wang Junlin sent many people to search for the Tengu and Maomao the Lynx, but they were never found. Unexpectedly, the Tengu was hidden in the Shiwan Mountains southwest of the Six Tribes of Nanzhao.
Back then, Nie Xiaoyu used the method of hypnosis to control the Tengu. Now it seems that No. 1 helped the Tengu to remove the hypnotic method and hide it.
"Let Mr. Chong lead a group of experts to rush to the Sixth Town of Nanzhao as quickly as possible, secretly follow Xiao Yu, find the Tengu... and find the lynx Maomao."
Wang Junlin expressed emotion that after all these years, he still has not forgotten the scene when he licked the newborn Maomao out of coma and saved his life by chance.
He will never forget that he regarded the lynx as his biological son, and the lynx regarded him as a relative, and they have spent more than a year together with each other and the wonderful family happiness.
