Chapter 312 Burning Liaodong City

There has actually been discussion among the Tang army about how strong the Kuoding County Army is.

After all, the Navy's record was achieved by the Pipi Shrimp that wreaked havoc in the East China Sea for so long.

But there are some differences between the army and the navy. The navy mainly looks at equipment.

If your ship is great, your navy will be great.

Not so with the Army.

Therefore, some people in the Tang Army think that the army in Kuoding County should also be very strong. After all, everyone knows that Kuoding County is rich and will spend money if it is willing to spend money.

If such good equipment is worn on a pig, it should be able to charge two or three times against these aliens, right?

There are also some people from the Tang Army who feel that although the people in Kuoding County are well equipped, they have never fought any tough battles.

You must know that many of them fought all the way from the late Sui Dynasty to the present.

I have fought not only ten but also five or six of those eighteen-way rebel kings.

Which one is not a tough guy? How can such veterans of many battles be compared to the many teams in Kuoding County who have never even been on the battlefield or seen blood?

These Yan Kai all know that it is just like the J-20 has gone to heaven and the 055 has gone to sea, but without actual combat, there will always be people who doubt their actual combat capabilities.

Yan Kai planned to practice his skills today using this city of Liaodong, which the Koreans called the city that would never fall.

With a flick of his wrist, Yan Kai took two drumsticks and started beating the drums in person.

Although he didn't have the ability to kill enemies in battle after persisting in training over the years, his body had become extremely strong.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the Tang Army and the Goryeo Army in Liaodong City, the more than a thousand sergeants from Kuoding County did not charge at all.

Instead, they methodically began to use various vehicles to transport some things out of their camp and began to assemble them.

"What is this for?"

"Insert... siege machinery, right?"

"Are you just pretending after the fight started?"

Not to mention that the Goryeo army couldn't understand it, even the Tang army couldn't understand it either.

Then for the entire morning, the only sound on the battlefield was the sound of Yan Kai's drums and the sounds of the Kuoding County soldiers assembling.

"Damn it, if I had known better, I wouldn't have been pretending like this." Yan Kai glared at Chun Yuzhen who was standing aside: "Didn't you say you could finish it in two hours?"

After knocking for so long, Yan Kai felt that his hand was about to break.

"That... uncle!" Chun Yuzhen touched his helmet: "These two hours are calculated according to the assembly time in the county workshop. We also held an assembly competition! Didn't I forget to count the delay here? Time to come out and spread out?"

Chunyu Zhen, who knew he was in the wrong, asked weakly: "How about I come and knock for you for a while?"

"Get out!" Yan Kai raised his foot and wanted to kick him: "If it were you, the brothers below would probably tell me that I'm weak if I go back, and even beat the drum and replace him!"

I am so good at pretending that I still have to pretend to be smooth for him even when I am kneeling!

"The team is assembled!"

"The second team is assembled!"

"Team Three..."

Finally, good news came from below. The ten brigades of Yankai had assembled their trebuchets.

Yan Kai banged the drum several times and sped up the rhythm.

Chun Yuzhen quickly shouted: "Push up and blast him!"

Here are all improved trebuchets, with a range that is at least twice that of the trebuchets of the Sui Dynasty.

And because Yan Kai and the others prepared all the throwables prepared in their own workshop, the weights were fixed.

Therefore, if the wind speed is ignored, the distance of each casting is basically the same, which greatly increases the accuracy.

Yan Kai just wants to tell everyone that times have changed.

It’s not just the era where the navy is looking at equipment, the army is also looking at equipment.

Ten trebuchets were pushed to the front, and all Kuoding County soldiers lined up to prevent the Korean army from rushing out.

Then he started to twist the winch and lifted the counterweighted iron ingot high.

The prepared incendiary bombs were placed in the bomb drop frame one by one.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After knocking the last beat according to this rhythm, Yan Kai dropped his hand and shook it.

This is the signal emitted by the Kuoding County trebuchet.

Ten incendiary bombs were thrown out.

"Be careful!" The Korean guard shouted, but he couldn't help but feel relieved.

The trebuchets of the Tang Dynasty were too far away, and the trebuchets captured by the Sui Dynasty that were erected on their city could not reach that distance at all.

But just because of the distance, I can see that the stone bullets used by the opponent are not big.

He won't be able to throw it this far when he's older.

And with such small stone bullets and only ten trebuchets, what effect can they have?

All their soldiers had to do was hide behind the parapet.

People in Liaodong City are also veterans, and there are many who think the same way as him.

Then three of the ten incendiary bombs landed on the city wall, one landed outside the city wall, and six flew over and entered the city directly.

"Boom!" After the outer clay pot broke, the spilled oil and white phosphorus began to burn violently.

The Liaodong defenders did not expect that Datang used incendiary bombs instead of stones.

Although only three landed on the city wall, the Liaodong defenders hiding behind the female wall still quickly became extremely "familiar" with each other.

Yan Kai took the drumstick and started beating again.

This time the drum beat is causing the trebuchet below to start adjusting its position.

The one that fell outside the city wall pushed the trebuchet forward.

The other few who had flown over retreated a little further.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Seeing that they have adjusted well, Yan Kai is signaling a new round.

Then the entire Tang Army became extremely quiet.

The only sound that could be heard was a bang, which was the sound of hitting the machine frame of the trebuchet.

Then there was the sound of the weighted iron spindle on the trebuchet straightening the rope.

Finally, there was the sound of incendiary bombs flying out.

This time, eight out of ten incendiary bombs hit.

"boom!"

The sound of explosions on Liaodong City and the cheers of the Tang army sounded at the same time.

These eight incendiary bombs ignited less than half of the entire city wall on this side of Liaodong City.

The key is that you can defeat your opponent, but your opponent can only watch.

There were many trebuchets captured by the Sui Dynasty standing on the Liaodong City. They were originally like taunting middle fingers. At this time, many of them were ignited and began to burn.

However, the people in Kuoding County had no intention of stopping. They dropped more than ten rounds of incendiary bombs, basically burning the entire wall on this side.

The Liaodong city guards were all stupid, not to play like this.

In the past, the stones thrown by trebuchets looked scary, but if a stone weighing dozens of kilograms fell on the city wall, it would kill one or two unlucky people.

And judging from the flying trajectory, a skilled veteran can still hide.

But today, the incendiary bomb exploded after landing, and the oil spilled was everywhere.

Then it started burning immediately, and water couldn't put it out at all.

If we use sand, where can we find so much sand on the city wall?

The Liaodong garrison was burned to a pulp throughout the morning.

The number of casualties was estimated to be less than a thousand, but morale had dropped to freezing point.
