The first thousand two hundred and forty-nine chapters fell to the capital
The lights were brightly lit in the commander's tent of the camp outside the city, and the commander-in-chief Zhu Ye was discussing with more than a dozen generals how to break the city.
The general Zhu Ye is not Zhu Tao's legitimate son. His mother is the daughter of the leader of the Xi tribe. It is the result of the political marriage between Zhu Tao and the Xi tribe. Perhaps because he is half of the Donghu people, Zhu Ye looks completely different from his father Zhu Tao.
, he is 1.9 meters tall, has a broad waist, a burly figure, and is also very powerful in martial arts.
Zhu Ye's strength and commanding ability were noticed by Yeluyun Deshi, the chief of the Khitan Diela tribe. He married his legitimate daughter to Zhu Ye and fully supported him in seizing Silla. His war horses alone successively supported Zhu Ye.
There were as many as 50,000 horses in Ye, and Zhu Ye reciprocated by sending more than 200,000 captured Silla people to Khitan as slaves.
Zhu Ye was not only good at fighting, but also quite strategic. He was especially good at using the art of luring troops, pretending that supplies were not available, or pretending that his backup was being attacked, and then retreated in panic. The Silla army fell into Zhu Ye's trap three times, and finally fell into Zhu Ye's hands.
trap, and the entire army was destroyed three times.
Zhu Ye's 100,000-strong army consists of the direct army and the affiliated army. The direct army has 30,000 people, distributed among the Xi people, Khitans and Goguryeo people. The affiliated army has three armies, the Mohe Army of the Heishui Department, the Mohe Army of the Sumo Department and the Chamber of Commerce.
Wei Jun, these three affiliated armies totaled 70,000 troops. They were actually mercenaries invited by Zhu Ye, and they used the slaves and wealth they plundered as the price.
If you win every time, everyone will benefit and be able to unite and work for the common interests. But if you lose every time, everyone may have other ideas.
Zhu Ye pointed to the map and said: "Once the city is defeated, Jin Yansheng will inevitably retreat south to Jinhaijing, and many nobles will definitely follow in the retreat. We will not place a single soldier in the south, but we will ambush an army ten miles away."
The considerable army annihilated the Silla nobles who retreated southward in one fell swoop."
Speaking of this, Zhu Ye turned around and ordered: "Where is the commander of the Six Martial Arts of Blackwater?"
A burly general stepped forward and said, "I'm here to serve you!"
Heishui Liuwu is the great chief of the Mohe Heishui tribe. He commanded 20,000 Mohe Heishui troops to serve Zhu Ye. He made many military exploits and became Zhu Ye's right-hand man. He also captured a lot of wealth and slaves for the Heishui tribe. He was gearing up and waiting.
Zhu Ye's order.
Zhu Ye said: "Once they enter the ambush, you first cut off their retreat, and then attack them from both front and rear. Kill all the men, old and young, and reward the women. The wealth will be pooled and distributed to everyone."
Zhu Ye was fair. He knew that when Jin Yansheng and the nobles retreated, they would definitely bring a large amount of precious wealth with them. If all were given to the Blackwater Tribe, other tribes would be dissatisfied. If all were handed over, the Blackwater Tribe would also be dissatisfied, so he divided
Second, the wealth should be handed over and the women should be given to the Black Water Department.
Everyone was satisfied with this plan. Heishui Liuwu immediately clasped his fists and said: "I humbly obey the order!"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the tent, and a soldier came to report, "Commander Qi, our brothers found a strange piece of wood in the river, which seems to be a siege weapon."
"Where's the wood?"
"Just outside the tent!"
Zhu Ye quickly walked out of the tent, and everyone followed him.
Outside the tent, dozens of soldiers were carrying a huge log. Judging from the shape of the huge log, it was a pointed battering ram. Zhu Ye's eyes lit up. How did the soldiers lift such a thick battering ram?
He quickly ordered: "Put it down!"
The soldiers slowly put them down, and Zhu Ye stepped forward to take a closer look. It turned out that there were a row of large iron nails nailed on both sides of the battering ram.
Lift the battering ram with the iron nails.
Zhu Ye was surprised and happy. He could not think of such a simple method, but...where did this battering ram come from? Of course it was not his own army, and it couldn't be the Silla army. Who else could it be?
?
Zhu Ye suddenly knelt down and shouted to the sky, "Thank you, Changshengtian, for helping me!"
The generals and soldiers all knelt down and shouted together, "Thank you to the Immortal God..."
...........
Zhu Ye was inspired, and he built fifteen giant battering rams overnight. Each battering ram was densely packed with thick spikes.
Before dawn, Heishui Liuwu led 20,000 troops to go around ten miles to the south to ambush. The remaining 60,000 troops lined up neatly. Six thousand people were responsible for operating the fifteen battering rams, and one hundred people raised the battering rams.
Another two hundred people were responsible for holding shields and protecting them.
When fifteen battering rams are dispatched at the same time, they are not attacking the city gate, but are used directly to ram the city wall.
Zhu Ye rode on the war horse and waved his sword, "Attack!"
"Woo——"
A low horn sounded suddenly, the camp gate slowly opened, and the fierce Donghu troops marched out in formation, with huge battering rams in the middle.
The army shouted slogans in low voices, roaring like wild beasts, and filled the ground with murderous intent, making the Silla soldiers on the city wall tremble with fear.
All 20,000 troops have arrived at the head of the north city, and they are drawing their bows and arrows. Their bows and arrows are not the city-defending bows and arrows of the Tang Dynasty army. They do not have the powerful falling force and penetrating power. They are just ordinary bows and arrows that cannot be shot.
Pierce the enemy's shield.
Jin Tiyong stood on the top of the city and looked at the enemy troops below the city. Today's enemy troops were different from usual. Those crude ladders could not be seen, and they turned into extremely huge battering rams, which were different from the ones he saw a few days ago.
The battering ram is completely different.
Jin Tiyong had an unpleasant feeling in his heart. He was afraid that today would be unlucky. He immediately summoned a soldier and whispered a few words to him. The soldier turned and ran away...
.
The 60,000-strong army stopped a mile away. They were so murderous that they were as dense as a swarm of ants. It was so dark that they could not see the edge. The soldiers at the top of the city were so frightened that their legs were weak, as if the end was coming. In fact, their lives were not long. Once the Donghu people
If they enter the city, they will definitely be slaughtered.
After a moment of silence, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded loudly under the city. Fifteen battering ram armies rushed towards the city at the same time. They were like fifteen long worms. One hundred soldiers held giant battering rams that were seven or eight feet long. Each battering ram was
They weighed several thousand kilograms, were sharpened in front, and were protected by hundreds of soldiers holding large shields on both sides.
The war drums rang loudly, and thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city. The dense arrows were shot at the bottom of the city. In just a moment, fifteen long worms shot like hedgehogs, but the arrows could not hurt the soldiers under the giant shield. They still shot towards the city.
Charge forward.
The moat of the North City had long been filled in and was filled with broken siege ladders and corpses. The enemy's siege ram was getting closer and closer, and had already reached the moat. Jin Tiyong shouted anxiously: "Throw stones!"
The boulders on top of the city fell like raindrops, and a few long worms were scattered, but most of the battering rams still launched their attack.
"Boom! Boom!"
There was a series of banging sounds on the wall, and the city head was shaking. A battering ram near the city gate succeeded first, and they knocked a big hole in the wall.
The Donghu army suddenly became excited, and 10,000 crossbowmen also moved forward. At the same time, they fired arrows at the top of the city. The arrows shot towards the top of the city like a storm, and immediately suppressed the soldiers on the top of the city so that they could not lift their heads.
The battering ram attacked for the second time, and this time the effect was remarkable. Seven large holes appeared in the city wall, especially the wall that broke through the big hole the first time and collapsed.
The city walls that were constantly being knocked down and the violent shaking caused the morale of the soldiers on the city to collapse. Thousands of soldiers dropped their weapons and fled into the city. Jin Tiyong couldn't stop shouting. At this moment, the city wall under his feet suddenly collapsed. , Jin Tiyong and hundreds of soldiers were buried by the collapsed city wall, and a gap of more than 20 feet appeared in the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, two gaps of seven to eight feet each appeared in the west. The soldiers at the top of the city became desperate and began to flee on a large scale.
At this time, the city was in chaos, with panic and shouts everywhere on the streets. The nobles fled towards the south gate with their families. Jin Yansheng took dozens of ox carts, loaded with family members and belongings, and left the city under the protection of hundreds of soldiers. He fled to the south in the direction of Jinhae Kyung. There were tens of thousands of nobles and their family members who escaped from the city.
At this time, Donghu soldiers rushed through the gap and poured into the city like a tide. At this time, the city gate was also opened by Donghu soldiers. Sixty thousand troops rushed into the city and began to burn, kill and rape impatiently. Jinzhou City seemed to have fallen into hell. .
Tens of thousands of fleeing nobles only managed to escape less than ten miles. Suddenly, countless Donghu soldiers were killed on both sides. Their retreat was also cut off. Heishui Liuwu brandished his sword and shouted: "Kill all the men!"
The nobles of Silla Kingdom suffered a devastating disaster at this moment.
