Chapter 428: Crazy Spring Law Text
Quan Luwen was originally a Silla native and aristocrat. When she was young, she was involved in Silla's internal power. She was forced to run away to Goguryeo because she was involved in Silla's internal power. She was still in the losing side.
At the beginning, Quan Luwen served the Goguryeo royal family, but later he turned to the powerful minister Yuan Taizuo to serve for many years. Because of his outstanding ability and loyalty, he was still regarded as a confidant after Yuan Gaisuwen took power.
This time when fighting against the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Gaisuwen brought Quan Luwen with him. After learning that Liaodong City was lost, Yuan Gaisuwen sent Quan Luwen 30,000 cavalry as the vanguard to return to Liaodong City.
When Quan Luwen led his army to the outside of the city and saw the Tang army flag flying on the top of the city, his eyes suddenly turned black and his body couldn't help but tremble. As for the reason, it was because his family was all in Liaodong City.
No matter how hard the general was, he could not let go of his family. As long as he was a human, he would be affected by this emotional factor. Quan Luwen, who came outside the city, looked at the Tang army soldiers wearing bright armor on the city wall, sighed heavily, and shouted at the top of the city far from the range of the crossbow, "Which general is the head of the city? Please come out and meet."
Yan Fei pinched his fingers and leaned sideways against the battlements of the city wall and watched Su Dingfang stepping out.
"I am Su Dingfang, who is here?" Su Dingfang, wearing the new armor provided by Yan Fei, stood at the top of the city and poked out, shouting angrily at Quan Luwen in the distance, "Come on the name quickly, I won't kill the nameless!"
Anger flashed across Quan Luwen's face, whose beard was white. He fought a war for a lifetime, and everyone who wanted to insult him had their heads cut off. How could he bear this anger? But when he thought of his family in the city, even the generals who had been fighting for the rest of his life had to forcibly endure it.
"So it's General Su." Quan Luwen clenched his fists and bowed to Su Dingfang on the top of the city. "Do you dare to ask the general, how are the people in the city?"
Quan Luwen didn't ask how you came here, how many people are there, what are you going to do, and what funny nonsense you want to do. Instead, he directly asked his most concerned questions, the family in the city is good.
Liaodong City is Yuan Gai Suwen's old nest, and most of the families of his officials and generals are in the city. In any aspect, these people are very important. Quan Luwen has always been worried about what to do if the Tang army uses these people as hostages. It will definitely be in the way when siege the city.
After hearing his inquiry, Su Dingfang immediately smiled at the sky, "People? Hehe~~~ You will see them when you die."
Quan Luwen's face turned pale. He thought the Tang army had killed many people in the city, but he never expected that the Tang army had destroyed all the Goguryeo people in the city. "I heard for a long time that the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, why did he do such a vain thing?!"
"Hmph!" Su Dingfang sneered, "When you were casting Jingguan outside the city, you should have known that there was such a day! Want to see your own people? Yes, I buried them outside the east gate, go and see them yourself!"
Quan Luwen's face was pale, his body was stiff and shaking. After forcibly stabilizing his body, he glared at Tang Jun on the top of the city and rode his horse outside the East City Gate. Then, he saw that the Jingguan made of corpses of the Central Plains people had disappeared.
Of course, what he is concerned about now is not those things that show off his force, but the big pits in front of him are obviously newly excavated and landfilled at will!
"Ah!!" After some big pits were turned open, Quan Luwen, whose face was blood-red, roared to the sky like a crazy tiger.
"I deserve it." Su Dingfang, who walked along the city wall, looked at it very relieved. "I killed us Han people. When I cast Jingguan, I didn't think that there would be today? I told you that you all have to die!!"
Quan Luwen is already over 60 years old and has basically no other choice at this age. But the reason why he still wants to go to the battlefield was entirely for his own family. But this time, his family did not escape in Liaodong City. At this time, Quan Luwen, who was hit hard, had his first thought after he recovered a little, was to take revenge.
"Siege the city!" Quan Luwen, whose eyes were red and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, fell into madness and directed his cavalry to forcibly attack the city. Even several subordinates who wanted to persuade him to calm were cut off by him.
It was obviously a brainless decision to throw precious cavalry into the siege. However, Quan Luwen, who was crazy because his family was killed, no longer cared about these things. At this time, he just wanted to kill all the Tang soldiers and cut off their heads to pay tribute to his family.
Quan Luwen was the general in charge of the army. After the order was issued, the soldiers had no choice but to execute it. But they were all cavalry, and this time they wanted to come first, mainly for reconnaissance, and there was no siege equipment at all. In desperation, they could only go to the villages outside the city to demolish houses and temporarily build some siege equipment such as cloud ladders, rushing wood, etc.
Quan Luwen, who didn't even wear a helmet, roared and waved his sword in his hand, driving the Goguryeo cavalry out of the horse and carried simple equipment to attack the city.
Because there is a moat, the ladders cannot get close to the city wall. The first thing the Goguryeo cavalry did was to fill the river. Originally, they could have thrown into the river with cloth bags filled with sand like the previous Tang cavalry, but the problem was that they did not have so many cloth bags.
Yan Fei brought everything directly from the modern world, but where could the Goguryeo people get so many bags in a short time? Their farmers are even more miserable than the people in the Central Plains, and where can there be so many bags of cloth in their homes for use.
In desperation, thousands of cavalry could only approach the moat with shields in one hand and shovels and other tools in the other to prepare to fill the river.
‘Boom! Boom!’ The landmine buried outside the city was trampled and exploded without any surprise.
These broadsword anti-destructive mines are extremely terrifying. They are filled with 600 grams of plastic explosives and 800 steel balls. Once detonated, the power generated by the explosion of the plastic explosives will shoot 800 steel balls in a fan-shaped shape at a wide angle of 60 degrees and towards the front.
So many steel balls make no one survived within the fifty meters before the explosion area. No matter how many people rushed up, they were beaten into sieves. And there was still a moderate killing range within a range of one hundred meters. Even the longest range exceeded 250 meters.
This is a defensive weapon in the true sense, a killer of infantrymen. For Goguryeo soldiers who lack anti-mine methods and even have no idea what the mine is, this is the smile of the god of death.
Because they had to fill the river, the selected soldiers stood in a relatively dense manner. After stepping on the landmine, hundreds of steel balls broke through the enemy-facing sign and splashed it out like sprinkling water.
In front of these steel balls, the shield in the hands of the Goguryeo people was as fragile as a piece of paper and was easily shot through.
A shrill wail sounded, and hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers rushing in front were knocked to the ground. Except for those who were shot through the vital points and hung up on the spot, the others who were shot through their limbs were lying in pools of blood and howling painfully. The scene was extremely bloody.
The tragic experience of his companions did scare the soldiers, but as well-trained soldiers, they still gritted their teeth and continued to move forward. But then one directional mine was detonated one by one. Under the shooting of countless steel balls, the Goguryeo fell to the ground like lodging wheat.
In other words, Yan Fei did not place too many directional mines here, otherwise they would not even be able to get close to the moat.
The first wave of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers who were about to fill the river were knocked down before they even got the moat. The rest could no longer bear it and turned around and ran away. However, Quan Luwen, who was supervising the battle behind, waved his hand with a slight face, and the supervision team shot a large number of sharp arrows to shoot all the escaped soldiers.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the wounded who were rolling and howling, the morale in Goguryeo suddenly fell to a low point.
Quan Luwen waved his hand again expressionlessly, and the second group of river filling troops had to bite the bullet and attack again. Fortunately, the mines here were all trampled on, so they were able to successfully approach the moat.
However, when they arrived at the moat, they found that the small slope of the riverside slope was not sand or soil at all, but something they had never seen before. Sparks came up from the shovel, but they could not be shoveled out at all.
Yan Fei transported cement and built a cement wall more than one meter high on the moat, with a 45-degree slope on the outside. This cement wall blocked the Goguryeo people, forcing them to dig soil from a further distance and then rush onto the top of the cement wall to spread the soil into the river.
This is not a project or an exercise, it is a battlefield. Of course, the Tang army on the city wall would not watch the Goguryeo people fill the river. Various defensive weapons roared from the sky and put the Goguryeo people down in rows.
Liaodong City is the old nest that Yuangaisuwen worked hard to manage. It not only stores a large amount of materials but also has extremely complete fortifications. Relying on these fortifications and abundant food and grass reserves, it is enough to make anyone who wants to conquer this city at an unimaginable price.
But what Yuan Gai Suwen didn't expect was that in order to strengthen his decisive battle, he drew large-scale troops from the seemingly safe rear, which made the defense of Liaodong City empty. Later, Yan Fei used blitzkrieg, and ignored the many cities on the road and rushed to the targets, and successfully captured Liaodong City in one fell swoop.
Due to the lack of defenders, most of the fortifications on the city walls were not in time. As the city was lost, it has now become a tool for Yan Fei and the Tang army to deal with the Goguryeo people.
The expensive and more expensive bed crossbow shot out a thick crossbow arrow and shot the Goguryeo outside the city directly through. The rolling stone wood was thrown out like no money. The golden juice and oil were not used so far. However, the not-so-large gray bottle was thrown over from afar under the throwing of the strong sergeant.
The flying gray bottles hit the concrete floor, and the Goguryeo people were immediately covered with dense lime powder. Under the strong stimulation, they coughed and covered their eyes and howled continuously. In this case, let alone shoveling soil and filling the river, they could not even be able to do the most basic defense and counterattack, and they could only become the target of the defenders within the attack range.
