Chapter 356 Siege in the rain.
Chapter 356: Attacking the city in the rain.
Although it looks at the small and small land of Goguryeo, it has three capitals, namely the domestic city, Pyongyang City and Seoul. The construction standards of these three capitals are very high, and they are all made of huge stones, which can be said to be very solid.
The city walls of Seoul are very high, about three feet long, and they are also composed of protruding women's walls and horse horns.
The female wall and the horse horn are the protruding parts on the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city can attack the enemy in all directions when standing on the female wall and the horse horn.
This is also why, in ancient times, we had to take down the urn city first. It was not because the ancients were stupid, but because breaking the city wall was not easier than breaking the urn city.
This is also why Li Mu wanted to attack on heavy rainy days. The bows and arrows of this era are actually very afraid of storms.
Strong winds will cause the bow and arrow to deviate from the direction. Once the heavy rain wet the bow string, the bow string will lose its strength.
After the bow and arrow lost its function, it would be difficult for the female walls and horse horns in Seoul to pose any threat to the Sui army.
"Bang.bang.bang."
"Bang.bang.bang."
"Bang.bang.bang."
There were three drums in the Qin camp. At this time, Lai Hu'er and his naval soldiers had already assembled.
The black flag and black armored infantry formation had gathered thousands of feet below Seoul. These soldiers held swords and shields in one hand, and the front row of soldiers also carried ladders on their shoulders.
"Brothers, don't look at the strong wind and rain today. Let's attack in the rain. Goguryeo's bows and arrows are useless, and gold juice is useless."
"You don't need to worry too much about the others, just rush up to me. Whoever rushed up the city wall first, I will give him great reward."
"But if that person is rushing and rude, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law."
"Today, I'll be the first one. As long as I don't die, you have to follow me."
"If I die, you will step on my body and rush forward." Lai Hu'er stood at the front of the team, cursing and encouraging morale.
"Fight to death and never retreat! Fight to death and never retreat!"
"Fight to death and never retreat! Fight to death and never retreat!"
"Fight to death and never retreat! Fight to death and never retreat!"
The soldiers under Lai Hu'er waved their weapons and shouted loudly. The shouts had overwhelmed the thunder and the rain.
At this time, on the walls of Seoul, the defenders felt a sank in their hearts when they saw that the Sui army had already begun to gather under the city.
"I never expected that the Sui army would attack on rainy days."
"Hurry, go and inform the Prime Minister." The general who was in charge of guarding the city wall quickly sent someone to report the news.
At this time, Yizhi Wende is the backbone of Goguryeo. Yizhi Wende is on the city wall, and the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo are still in the heart of fighting. If Yizhi Wende is not on the city wall, everyone can be said to be in danger.
Seoul.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Report..."
"Prime Minister... Prime Minister, it's not good, the big thing is not good, the Sui army gathers and is about to attack the city." The messenger hurriedly ran into the prime minister's mansion and said in a panic.
Upon hearing this, the generals and officials in front of Yizhi Wende showed incredible expressions on their faces.
It is a taboo for military strategists to move troops on rainy days. How could the Sui army make such a low-level mistake?
"Attack on rainy days, the Sui army was sealed?" Cui Teng looked unbelievable.
"If I want to see, the General of the Sui Army, such a general, is just a flaw in his reputation." Yin Zheng also said.
However, at this time, Yizhi Wende's face was a little gloomy and ugly, and everyone looked at Yizhi Wende with confusion.
"This General Tiance is indeed well-known."
"Today's weather has lost its power and gold juice cannot be used. The only defensive weapon we can use is Thunderstone Rolling Wood."
"The Sui army is sure that we can't fight hard battles, we have to fight with us in close combat!" Yizhi Wende's face was gloomy.
Nowadays, most of the soldiers guarding the city above Seoul are soldiers from Silla and Baekje. Although these people have been trained by Urchi Wende for a winter, it is difficult to be considered elite soldiers.
Moreover, the soldiers of Silla and Baekje are stupid and have a poor understanding of military law and combat formations. These soldiers are more accustomed to fighting instinctively like wild animals.
However, on the battlefield, the most important thing is actually unity. Close-up close connection is the shortcomings of the Three Kingdoms coalition. It has to be said that Li Mu's eyes were very vicious, and he was fighting against Goguryeo's shortcomings.
If it was sunny, as the siege, the Sui army would have golden juice and bows and arrows alone, that would be enough for the Sui army to drink a pot of it.
"Hurry, let's go to the city wall!" Yizhi Wende immediately ordered.
Yizhi Wende rushed to the city wall with his subordinates. At the same time, the pre-war mobilization of the Sui army was also over and the attack was about to begin.
"Target, wall!"
"All follow me!"
Lai Hu'er shouted loudly, waved the sword in her hand, and took the lead in killing forward.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers of the Sui army shouted loudly, with a very terrifying momentum.
If it is normal weather, the defenders on the city wall can shoot bows and arrows at the Sui army. However, on this rainy day, with the strong winds, bows and arrows are useless at all.
The defenders on the city wall were unable to shoot bows and arrows, so they could only watch the Sui army carrying the ladder and approaching the city wall.
Why is it not easy to attack on heavy rain? Although it is said that for the defending party, bows and arrows and gold juice cannot be used. For the attacking party, the heavy rain and wind are also a problem to climb up the city wall.
The heavy rain wet the ladder. Not only did it get up and slippery, but when I climbed the high ground, I was shaking the wind.
However, since Li Mu decided to attack on rainy days, he naturally prepared early. On these ladders, Li Mu ordered people to wrap the linen strips in the shape of threads. In this way, after the linen strips absorb water, they will form a helping force, which will help the soldiers climb upwards.
Soon, the ladder was laid on the walls of Seoul.
"Quick, fast, climb up first if you have more than 200 pounds!"
"Quick, hurry!"
Lai Hu'er shouted under the city.
The wind is too strong now, and the ladders are trembling under the strong wind. I wish that the soldiers with light weight will sway in the strong wind.
However, Lai Hu'er also had his own way. He first let the soldiers in the army climb up with big waists. The weight of these soldiers was 200 kilograms, and with a piece of armor, it would have to be at least 250 and 60 kilograms. When these soldiers pressed on the cloud ladder, they immediately pressed the cloud ladder and stopped shaking.
If you usually climb a ladder, you have to go up with a small and flexible approach first, because every moment you delay, countless arrows will be shot. But now the arrows are useless, so you can go up with a large waist and round movement slower action.
