Chapter 765 Divine Machine Camp Shows its Power
After a night of thunder and thunder.
Dawn.
Yuan Gai Suwen was brought in front of Qin Lang by several Qianniu guards. With red eyes, he stared at Qin Lang and asked, "What did you do?"
"Goguryeo violated my Tang Dynasty. I set up an altar last night and burned incense to worship the Dragon King of Guangde in the East China Sea. The Dragon King of the East China Sea came from the East China Sea on clouds and fog, and sent down thunder and fire. The thunder split the city wall of Beisha, and the fire burned the houses. The Goguryeo army was terrified. Scattered, my Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty entered Beisha City."
······
Yuan Gai Suwen didn't believe these nonsense at all, but he felt that the nonsense was similar. He was also brought here by Qin Lang last night, and was imprisoned in a fisherman's thatched hut. Through the window of the thatched hut, he witnessed I saw countless fire lights on the **** mountain more than ten miles away, lighting up the night like day, and heard the loud noise that followed.
"It must be the Awakening Dragon raising its head in February, it's the spring thunder!" Yuan Gai Suwen gritted his teeth, but he himself didn't believe it. It's true that the spring thunder occasionally sounds now, but the spring thunder will not be so continuous, let alone countless The flames soared into the sky.
"It's the Dragon King of the East China Sea. King Guangde was personally proclaimed king by my Tang sage. He usually enjoys the four-season sacrifices of my Tang Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty needs it, he will naturally come to help."
······
Qin Lang got on his horse, took Yuan Gai Su Wen, who was pale with shock, and headed all the way to Beisha City in Daheishan.
Along the way, you can see the Tang flag waving.
Beisha City was built on the Dahei Mountain, and the city wall was built along the ridge, occupying all the advantages of the mountainous terrain. Under normal circumstances, it is really difficult to capture such a dangerous mountain city.
Even without external reinforcements, the soldiers and civilians of Beisha City alone can withstand the onslaught of tens of thousands of people, unless it is the method of tens of thousands of storms that does not count casualties like Tathagata Protector.
But Yuan Gai Suwen knew that Qin Lang's soldiers did not exceed 3,000 people, and it only took one night, no, it might take half a night at most to invade Beisha City, and they might even take less than one night to break the city. Shichen, how is this done?
After walking along the dangerous mountain road to the gate of the mountain city, Yuan Gai Suwen finally gradually understood.
The gate of the mountain city was intact, but after entering the city, there were several huge gaps in the stone wall on the hillside of the mountain city, all of which were more than ten feet wide.
The solid stone wall collapsed, exposing several large holes, and black remnants can still be seen on the wall.
Those big holes brought that absurd thought to Yuan Gai Suwen's mind. This is the divine thunder bombed by the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
"As you think! This is the power of the dragon!" Qin Lang looked at the gaps and said with a smile.
"Impossible, impossible!" Yuan Gai Suwen didn't believe this. Naturally, the Goguryeo people knew that the Tang people in the Central Plains believed in dragons, and they also knew that the emperors in the Central Plains also liked to enshrine gods. , Set up a temple to offer sacrifices.
Goguryeo people also have the belief in the dragon, especially the fishermen or businessmen who go to sea, but no one has really seen the appearance of the dragon, let alone help in the battle.
But apart from this, he couldn't find any other explanation. What kind of power can instantly open such a large hole in these hard rock walls?
The mountainous terrain here makes it impossible to fire a cannon at all, and to create such a large gap, it must be a super huge catapult cannon, but such a cannon can't be set up for ten days and a half months, let alone that place. There is nowhere to mount such a large catapult.
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out.
After entering the city, there was already a **** smell, and there were fallen corpses on the roadside from time to time, most of them belonged to Goguryeo people.
In the city.
Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are clearing up the remnants of the enemy, searching in groups, and clearing out the recalcitrants. More Goguryeo people have given up their resistance. Last night, there was a thunderstorm, and then in the huge flames, the solid mountain wall suddenly collapsed for several sections. Immediately after the Tang army Unexpectedly, he entered the city from this relatively partial position.
Beisha City is very strong, and most of the city walls are located on the uneven hills, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, for a long time, the Goguryeo people have been confident in the strength of Beisha City, and they have long been used to the key points Mark several roads into the city, and build forts at those gates.
But no one expected that the Tang people would not follow the usual path at all.
All their defenses were useless, the Tang people easily broke through their most confident city defenses, and then rushed into the almost defenseless city, and a center blossomed.
The Goguryeo people had no choice but to call out the guards from those strong fortresses, turn around and fight back to the city, but in the city, they had no advantage at all.
Especially after Tang Jun was able to throw thunder with his hands, the Goguryeo people quickly collapsed one by one.
The whole night attack was actually almost over in less than an hour. The rest of the time was just because the Tang army had few soldiers, so it took time to occupy various places.
This is the inner city of Beisha City. On a mountain in the valley of Daheishan City, another castle was built. This castle is not big, but if it is a traditional attack and defense, it can also be used as the last line of defense.
But last night, the city lord committed suicide amidst the constant cracking of thunder.
"Saburo!"
Cheng Chu Mo put on his helmet and armor, covered in blood, but in a good mood.
Looking at Qin Lang, there was also deep shock. They were ordered to raid according to Qin Lang's plan last night, and they never thought it would go so smoothly. When Shenjiying instantly opened several gaps in Beisha City, Cheng Chumo opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff a cow.
And the Shenji Battalion took the lead in rushing into the city, wrapping their hands around a burning match, and from time to time took out an iron lump and ignited it with the match, and then threw it into the enemy group, and then there would be a huge explosion, able to kill Several people were overturned and killed, this kind of artifact made Cheng Chumo's scalp tingle.
It can be said that the victory last night was due to the contribution of the 300 Shenji Battalion, and the rest of the more than 1,000 people almost followed behind to pick up the bargain.
Cheng Chumo had never seen or heard of this kind of thing before.
"What's the result?" Qin Lang was not surprised by all this. The Shenji Battalion had been secretly training in Zhongnan Mountain for a long time. In the deep Qinling Mountains, there would often be roars in winter, but outsiders were not allowed to approach, so in various places According to these rumors, it became a restricted area and was called Thunder God Valley.
"We have completely seized control of Beisha, and the city defenses, warehouses, etc. are under control."
In the battle last night, more than 300 Goguryeo people were beheaded, but more than 3,000 people were captured, and more than 8,000 people did not resist at all.
Now these Goguryeo people have been detained intensively.
"How to deal with it?" Cheng Chu asked silently.
Sitting on the couch in the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Lang was very satisfied with the result of the battle, "How many casualties did we have?"
"The specific results have not been counted yet, but there are probably 20 to 20 killed, and dozens of seriously injured. The total is only a hundred, and minor injuries are not counted. The casualties are not large, very rare."
Only less than a hundred casualties were exchanged for a ten-mile city, or a city that was defended by 8,000 people with 2,000 raids. This result can be called a miracle.
However, Qin Lang understood that this was a tactical revolution brought about by new weapons. The Goguryeo people still had the old idea of city defense, and what they defended was the traditional swords, guns, arrows, crossbows, crossbows, and catapults. Unexpectedly, Qin Lang had a sharp weapon in his hand that could quickly break through the city wall. They focused on defending the city gate, and the defense was all at the city gate. They strengthened the city defense, built forts, and heavily guarded them. However, they did not expect that the Tang army could open a big hole in the solid city wall built on the mountain and stone in an instant.
Yuan Gai Suwen sat down at the door in a daze, looking at the fallen fortified city, with extremely bitter taste in his mouth. When he knew that Qin Lang wanted to attack Beisha City, he had secretly longed for it, wanting to see the arrogant Qin Lang smash his head and bleed under the strong Beisha City.
"Send someone to Changxing Island and tell those merchants that I have tens of thousands of slaves here and sell them cheaply. First come, first served!"
"Send people to Youzhou and Mizhou to urge Niu Gong and them, saying that I have taken Beisha City, I hope they will come quickly to help defend."
There are more than 10,000 households in Beisha City. In addition to the 8,000 young and strong who were transferred to Jili City, there are no less than 20,000 people in this city. In addition, there are actually 10,000 to 20,000 scattered villages outside the city.
As for these Goguryeo people, although there must be some ancestors who were Han Chinese in the Han and Jin Dynasties, after hundreds of years, these people are no longer compatriots at all.
Whether they are descendants of Han people, Xianbei people, Khitan people, Fuyu people, etc., these people now have only one identity, Goguryeo people.
Qin Lang would not imagine how these people would submit to Wang Hua, how to be obedient citizens, since Beisha City was won, he would never give up again.
If you want to be stable, you still have to change it.
He planned to sell all the Goguryeo people in Beisha City as slaves, and transport them all to Hebei or Shandong, and leave none behind.
Then troops were dispatched from the Central Plains to assist in the defense, and finally their families were moved over, allocating land for them, settling down and buying properties, and then moving some poor tenants over to build villages. In this way, this is a complete newly occupied colony , and can even directly become a solid forward base.
It's a big move to do so, but Qin Lang thinks it's worth it.
"It's impossible to keep singing the empty city strategy on Changxing Island. Gai Suwen's subordinates don't have the patience to wait forever, and it is estimated that there will be actions soon."
"What are you afraid of?" Qin Lang didn't care. Now Qin Lang forged a letter with Yuan Gaisuwen's seal, and sent a letter to the Goguryeo people on the other side of Long Island, saying that they were still negotiating on the island, but it was really impossible to keep it hidden. But Qin Lang is not afraid of being seen through.
The sea will be thawed soon, and the Goguryeo people will not be able to do anything to Changxing Island. As for Beisha City, when they hear that the city has fallen, they will probably come to counterattack.
But Qin Lang is also mobilizing Niu Jinda and other reinforcements. Even if the Goguryeo army arrives first, Qin Lang can still defend the city with this strong defense. When the reinforcements arrive, maybe he can fight back.
After the reinforcements arrived, Beisha City was completely stabilized.
