Chapter 383 Destroy the enemy capital and capture the thief king alive

The outer city of Pyongyang is very large, while the inner city is only a few miles in circumference. The inner city is basically the residences of the various yamen in the Goguryeo royal capital and the nobles.

There was an internal strife last night, and the royal guards suddenly took a ruthless move and started a massacre in the inner city, killing thousands of Yuan Party overnight.

Although more officials and nobles were not affected, everyone was in danger.

Compared with the city defense of the outer city, the inner city is actually worse. After all, although the inner city is small, it lacks sufficient defense depth because it is inside the city. There is neither a wide moat, a wall of sheep and horses, nor a wall of urns.

The defense of the inner city depends entirely on the city gates and walls.

Although Luo Cheng's troops did not have siege equipment, the outer city they had just captured was behind, and there were enough siege equipment.

What's more, when the outer city was captured, nearly 100,000 Goguryeo people were now captured by Luo Cheng.

The Left Five Army directly copied the tactics under the new city and drove countless Goguryeo prisoners out of the arsenal and took out weapons after weapons.

There were both crossbows and spears, as well as siege crossbows and catapults. These were originally used as large-scale equipment for defending the city, but at this time they were turned around by Luo Cheng to attack the inner city.

Countless ladders pushed to the inner city, and chariots were also pulled over.

The rain of arrows poured onto the city wall.

Under the city, teams of Sui troops drove the Goguryeo people with bows and arrows, pushing the cart and hitting the city gate.

"I didn't expect the resistance was very fierce!"

Luo Cunxiao sneered twice, "Didn't you find a lot of tincture oil just now? Then use a catapult car to throw these oil barrels into the inner city to see how intense they can resist."

"It's not good to do this. It would be a pity if it burned all." Fu Gonghu said.

But Luo Cunxiao didn't care at all, "The people we sent to contact Hu'er have not come back yet, and there is no news at all. To be honest, no one knows where Hu'er and the others are now. Besides, even if Hu'er is still on the beach, it's 200 miles away from here, who knows whether the Goguryeo army will come back first or Hu'er will come first? Do you really think there is a chance to really occupy Pyongyang City?"

"Don't you plan to occupy it?"

"Of course it's good to be able to occupy it, but the chance is not great, so don't worry about it. We can't occupy Pyongyang City anyway, just attack and kill."

Buckets of burning oil were thrown into the inner city, accompanied by stones.

The inner city was full of fire and panic everywhere.

Under the city, countless Goguryeo people were driven to hit the city gate and dig the city walls. The Sui army used this most primitive, simplest and rough way to attack the city.

Although countless people fell under the city every moment, Luo Cheng didn't care, the Sui army didn't care, and it was not their own people who died.

War is so cruel. In order to achieve its goal, fire attacks and water floods all the best.

Some people even dig tunnels.

From morning to night, from night to morning.

The battle of the inner city continued for a whole day and night, and nearly 30,000 Goguryeo people were killed and injured under the city.

The Left Five Army had almost no casualties, and they had been raising their energy.

"The Goguryeo army on the top of the city has almost done its best, it's time to take action." Wei Zheng stared at the top of the city and squinted his eyes.

Luo Cheng nodded too.

"It's almost done. We can't delay here for too long. We have to break the city first. Let the horns blow, let the brothers go."

After staying up all night, the Sui army used countless Goguryeo cannon fodders to exhaust thousands of Goguryeo Guards. The attack never stopped for a whole day and night, one wave after another, with catapults, crossbows, tunnels and rushing cars. The Goguryeo defenders were exhausted long ago. They could not even defend in batches because the attack was too fierce and they had to use all their strength at all times, otherwise the city might fall at any time.

However, for the Sui army, the attack this day and one night was just foreplay.

The soldiers of the Left Five Army seized the time to rest for a day, and now it was finally time for them to take action.

Amid the sound of the horns, countless bows and crossbows were fired at once, and arrows were raining everywhere, densely packed like locusts, accompanied by stone castings and tinder oil, the power was even stronger.

This is the Sui army's powerful weapon. It has been launched at once with its powerful bow and crossbow. With its super-strong crossbow equipment rate of 12% can be concentrated and unthinkable super-long-range firepower coverage in a short period of time.

Although this super-hard rain of arrows often cannot last, it does not need to last too long for the soldiers of the Left Five Army. All they need is the cover of crossbows, and use the crossbow to suppress the already exhausted defenders on the city, and then launch a fierce attack.

Du Fuwei held a large ring knife, raised his shield with one hand, and rushed to the front.

Although he is now the deputy general of the wing, he still rushed up without hesitation in this battle.

Wei Zheng was at the city, watching the Sui army's momentum like a tiger descending the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh, "Such a powerful crossbow arrow is covered by the county, and with this brave and fearless soldier, what kind of city is there in the world that cannot be defeated?"

Wang Ziming said with grief, "Wei Sima Ke knows how many arrows will be shot for every breath of this kind of attack? How much does each arrow cost? Even if such an attack is only a quarter of an hour, he will never dare to imagine the money and food he consumes."

"War is about making money, but as long as you can win, everything will be rewarded." Luo Cheng said lightly.

The Sui army was indeed strong, but unfortunately Yang Guang had to personally command such a million-level battle. Although Yuwen Shu was also a powerful general, when it comes to command, he was far inferior to Yu Zhongwen and Li Jing, etc. However, the emperor did not use powerful generals like Zhongwen and Li Jing as commanders, and he also interfered everywhere and commanded randomly. This led to the Sui army having strong combat power, but always ties themselves.

The Goguryeo people on the city were suppressed so much that they could not raise their heads, and the Sui army rushed to the city like a tide.

Du Fuwei jumped down from the ladder, with one hand horizontal knife and the other hand shield.

Before he hit the ground, he had already killed a Goguryeo soldier with one sword.

More Sui troops also jumped onto the city wall.

Then there was an almost one-sided massacre.

No one can stop the attack and killing of this Sui army.

The city gate was knocked open.

Countless Sui soldiers shouted long live the victory and rushed into the inner city.

In less than two hours, the left five army had completely controlled the inner city, and then surrounded the palace city inside the inner city.

"kill!"

Du Fuwei had no intention of stopping. He looked at the closed palace city and rushed forward with a knife.

After a long battle, the palace city fell.

In the twilight, there were fires everywhere in Pyongyang City, and there were sporadic sounds of fighting in some corners.

Luo Cheng led a group of generals through the city through the gate and finally arrived in the palace.

"General, Gao Yuan has captured it. The old thief actually put on makeup and became a woman and hid in a well, but he still couldn't escape the search of the soldiers."

Gao Yuan was brought up. At this time, he was in a very embarrassment and was still wearing the costumes of palace maids. The men and women were neither male nor female were as ugly as they were. They were trembling all over, and they were fighting with their legs. The more terrified they were, the more terrified they were.

"Hello Gao Yuan, I am the Hu Ben General of the Right Guard of the Great Sui Dynasty, the general of the Five Left Army, the vanguard general of the Liao Dynasty, the Yin Qing Guanglu Grand Duke, and the Hou Luo Cheng of Xiangyang."

Gao Yuan's face was ashes.

The success and the defeat of the enemy fell into the hands of the Sui army, and he had no hope.

"I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender." Gao Yuan said repeatedly.
