Chapter 701: There is a killer inside the noble girl(1/2)

As soon as noon arrives!

Li Jing directly ordered that one hundred Tiger Crouching Cannons fire a salvo first.

Hundreds of guns fired!

Rumbling explosions kept ringing!

Tang Jun got so close that his ears felt like they were going to be deafened.

For the defenders in Anshi City, it was like the earth was turned upside down and the mountains were shaken by an earthquake.

The city lord Liang Wanchun was the most unlucky. Seeing the cannonballs coming from the sky, he actually asked his guards to block them with shields.

Isn’t this a mantis trying to trick a car?

The unlucky Liang Wanchun was turned into mincemeat by the bombing on the spot.

There were hundreds of defenders receiving the same treatment as Liang Wanchun.

Without the command of the city lord, the deputy general was also injured and was unable to take charge and lead the defenders to resist.

At this time, Li Jing seized the opportunity and beat the drum himself. The Tang Dynasty's 30,000-strong army could almost be said to have captured Anshi City without a single blow.

At the same time, Yeongae Suwen, who was about fifteen miles away from Ansi City, heard the news that the Tang army had begun to attack, and immediately commanded the entire army of 150,000 to speed up, hoping to cooperate with the defenders of Ansi City inside and outside to defeat the Tang army.

Caught off guard.

Unfortunately, Yeon Gaesumun didn't know that in less than half an hour, Anshi City had changed hands and passed into the hands of the Tang Army.

By the time he arrived at the battlefield with an army of 150,000, Li Jing had already taken over the city and moved the Crouching Tiger Cannon to the city wall.

Faced with Yeon Gaesumun who was rushing towards the enemy on the march, Li Jing did not give him a chance to rest and directly ordered the artillery battalion to cover the attack.

As the first battle of hot weapons in this world, the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon was brought to its fullest.

The rumble of artillery fire was like a thunderbolt from the blue.

One by one, the explosive bombs fell on the Korean army and exploded instantly, clearing the surrounding soldiers several meters away.

Faced with an unfamiliar artillery attack, Yeon Gaesooon instinctively ordered his troops to storm the dilapidated Ansi City.

In his opinion, a short distance of a few hundred meters can be rushed over quickly.

As long as the army comes into contact, the 30,000 Tang troops will be killed by him like the millions of Sui troops back then, like chickens and dogs waiting to be slaughtered.

It's a pity that even this short distance of a few hundred meters is like a death zone. His 150,000 troops charged for half an hour, but they couldn't rush through.

You must know that the Tang army had more than a hundred tiger squatting cannons, and also had a musketry battalion with 3,000 musketeers, which had a lethality that was not weaker than that of the artillery battalion.

The 150,000-strong Goryeo army was like a target, being rapidly harvested by the Tang army.

"How come the Tang army's weapons are so cruel?"

Seeing the heavy casualties among his troops, Yeon Gae Suwen began to panic.

At this moment, the Khitan people suddenly appeared on the flank of the Goryeo army.



The Yeon Gaesomun family has been a member of the Goryeo Kingdom for generations. They are in charge of most of the Koryo Kingdom's military and are in charge of government affairs on behalf of the king.

In this case, the King of Koryo completely became the mascot of the Koryo Kingdom.

It was also under this situation that the King of Goryeo secretly sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty several times, hoping that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would help him get rid of Yeon Gaesumun.

When the news that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally conquered Goryeo reached Goryeo, the courtiers, mobilized by Yeon Gaesumun, clamored to resist the Tang army.

However, the Goryeo royal family, especially King Yeongliu, was so excited that he wished he could 'eat the pot of pulp to welcome the king's master'.

On this day, the King of Korea was drinking in the palace. Suddenly he heard someone coming to report frontline intelligence, and he quickly asked someone to come in.

The person who came was a guard from the palace. He ran in with a panic look on his face, knelt on the ground with a plop, and eagerly reported:

"Your Majesty, the Lord of Baiyan City, Sun Daiyin, sent a message that a Khitan army was suddenly discovered outside the city a few days ago!"

"Did the Tang and Khitan unite?"

The King of Goryeo was a little confused. If only the Tang army came, he, the King of Goryeo, could cooperate with the Tang people inside and outside to drive Yeon Gaesomun away.

If the Khitans also came in, could the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still promise to cooperate internally and externally?

Just when the King of Korea was confused, another guard suddenly came to report:

"Report to your Majesty, a Tang army suddenly attacked Shicheng, and the Lord of Shicheng was killed!"

"impossible!"

The King of Goryeo was frightened at this time: "How could the Tang army conquer Anshi City so quickly?"

The guards looked sad:

"Your Majesty, the envoy reported that the Tang army came from the sea."

"Is there a flanking attack between the land and water armies?"

The King of Korea was a little panicked.

Since the Tang Dynasty could attack Shicheng from the sea, it could definitely attack the royal capital of Goryeo.

After all, the capital of Goryeo was only over a hundred miles away from the sea by water.

What should I do?

He asked the Tang army to help him get rid of Yeon Gaesumun, but he didn't expect to become a prisoner himself.

Just when the King of Korea was worried, another guard hurried over:

"Report to your Majesty, Mo Lizhi led his army to rescue Anshi City, but was defeated by the Tang army, suffering heavy casualties. Only 20,000 of the 150,000-strong army escaped!"

"impossible!"

The King of Korea's tense nerves burst instantly, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were red:

"Is he, Yeon Gae So-moon, a pig? Even if there are 150,000 pigs, it's impossible to kill them all in one day?"

That was a well-equipped elite army of 150,000, and it was also the foundation of the Goryeo Kingdom.

Now that they had been completely destroyed by Yeon Gaesumun in the battle, the King of Koryo could no longer imagine the fate of the Koryo Congress in the future.

The guard also looked confused and replied:

"Your Majesty, the envoy also said that the Tang army seemed to have the help of Thunder Lord, who could cause thunder from the blue. Thirty thousand of the 150,000-strong army were killed by thunder. In addition, the Khitan people suddenly appeared and attacked the army from the flank. Mo Lizhi

Unable to resist, he was defeated again and again, and had already fled to Jili City!"

"It's nonsense, these are all excuses made by Mo Lizhi!"

How could the King of Goryeo believe in the rhetoric of "Thunder Lord helps the army"?

However, he remembered that someone had just reported that Shicheng seemed to have been captured.

Shicheng and Jili City are only a few dozen miles apart.

Now that Yeon Gaesumun has escaped to Jili City, he won't fall into the trap of the Tang army, right?

Just when the King of Goryeo was making his guess, Yeon Gae So Moon had been captured by Zhang Liang, the waterway manager.

"Is this the prime minister of Goryeo? He doesn't look very good either!"

Zhang Liang looked at Yeon Gaesumun who was tied up with ropes, curled his lips, and was about to send someone to hold him down.

At this time, a man in black robe next to him stopped him:

"Manager Zhang, Your Majesty has an order to capture Yeon Gae Su Wen and send him to camp immediately."

"Master Su, when did your Majesty give the order?"

Zhang Liang heard the man in black robe speak and subconsciously asked, but then he quickly explained:

"It's not that I don't believe Mr. Su, but the identity of Yeon Gae Suwen is very important, so I have to be careful."

Unlike Li Jing who owns the Crouching Tiger Cannon, Zhang Liang is only in charge of the navy.

The artillery battalions and musketry battalions following the navy were all led by the black-robed general in front of them.

As we all know, the Tang Dynasty was characterized by water virtue and blackness.

Those in black robes are the emperor's personal guards.

Zhang Liang was as cunning as a fox, but he did not dare to cause trouble with the emperor's cronies.

After the man in black robe looked at Zhang Liang expressionlessly, he reached out and took out an imperial edict from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Liang and let him read it for himself.

After Zhang Liang took a look at it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent someone to hand Yun Gaesu Wen over to the care of the men in black robes.

The news of Yeon Gaesumun's capture soon spread throughout the Goryeo Kingdom.

Even Yeon Gaesumun was captured, and the other defenders of Goryeo naturally lost their will to resist.

Half a month later.

The Tang army attacked in three groups, attacking hundreds of cities and fortresses one after another, and finally met at a place less than fifty miles away from Goryeo.

Unable to bear the inner suffering, the King of Goryeo sent someone to surrender.
