Chapter 254 Soldiers approaching the city
"Yes, collect the remaining soldiers who have escaped, strengthen their defenses, and defend the capital no matter what!" The hands of the Bohai King Da Qinmao trembled a little, showing his panic, but his tone was very firm.
There is no way, you have to defend the capital city no matter what, otherwise the Bohai Kingdom will be over, and he, the king, will be over even more!
At this moment, the King of Bohai was extremely regretful. Why couldn't I help but send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty with anger? It took only a few days to send troops, and the 80,000 army was defeated. Even Gewuzhou City, the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, was defeated before he even attacked. He even tried to capture the entire Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty!
Shangquanyi is a waste, and the Tang Dynasty is too powerful. The man named Li Bai was really not a person who scared them from Bohai Kingdom.
In order to defend Shangjing City, the King of Bohai tried his best to gather the remaining soldiers who fled back, and organized the defenders in Shangjing City to strengthen their defenses. There were a lot of people, and about 30,000 people defended the city.
Rumble---
In the evening, facing the afterglow of dusk, Li Fei led the Andong cavalry to the foot of Shangjing.
"King, Tang, Tang army is here!" Next to the King of Bohai, a minister nervously pointed at the Andong Iron Cavalry Road that was coming.
Facing the afterglow of the sunset, Anton Iron Cavalry was wearing fish scale armor and holding a horse spear. The sharp two blades shone with a different cold light under the reflection of the afterglow of the sunset, giving people a different kind of cold light, like a demon soldier fighting out of purgatory.
The King of Bohai also saw the arrival of Andong's Iron Cavalry. His pupils shrank slightly, and inevitably showed his fear on his face.
About two hundred meters away from Shangjing City, Li Fei held the war horses, and more than 18,000 Andong Iron Cavalry behind him were also held. The unified neighing of the war horses crossed the city wall and spread throughout the city. All the people of the Bohai Kingdom in the city knew that the Tang army was coming to the city. Fear not only spreads in the hearts of the Bohai King, but also in the hearts of all the Bohai people in Shangjing City.
Li Fei's eyes were very sharp, and he could see the Bohai King with his head exposed on the city wall at a glance.
Although he had never seen the King of Bohai and did not know what the King of Bohai looked like, he could tell his identity by looking at the hat embroidered with a green dragon on his head. The Kingdom of Bohai called himself the prosperous country of Haidong and respected the Qinglong. Only the king has always been qualified to use clothing and accessories embroidered with a green dragon.
"King of Bohai, you go down the city to surrender immediately, otherwise I will destroy your Bohai Kingdom!" Li Fei shouted angrily, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he strongly asked the King of Bohai to surrender.
"Kill!" Wu Sheng raised his horse spear and shouted loudly at the right time.
"Kill! Kill---" Immediately, all the Andong cavalry raised their horse spears and started to shout, and the sound of killing shocked the sky.
On the city wall, the King of Bohai had learned Chinese in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, he could understand what Li Fei was saying. He was shocked by the murderous aura of Andong's Iron Cavalry. He felt cold all over, weak legs, and extremely pale face. He could not suppress his fear. It was over, and the Tang army was so powerful that he didn't know if he could defend the capital in the end.
Although the King of Bohai was afraid, he was not that stupid and had no idea of surrendering. Because who knew if the Tang army fooled him out of the city? What if the city gate opened and the Tang army took the opportunity to rush into the city?
"Mr. Andong Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty, this time it was my Bohai Kingdom that I dared not raise troops to invade the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty can stop its troops and do not attack me to the capital, even if the Tang Dynasty puts forward conditions, my Bohai Kingdom will definitely agree." The King of Bohai complained and asked for the whole story.
Although all the Tang army came from cavalry and it was not easy for cavalry to attack the city, who knew if there were a larger group of Tang army infantry behind. In order to save the Bohai Kingdom and save their lives, the Bohai King had already surrendered and had no idea of continuing to fight with the Tang Dynasty.
Li Fei snorted coldly.
In fact, if Li Fei just wanted Bohai Kingdom to surrender, he had achieved his goal now. Even if his conditions were too high, as long as he did not attack the capital, Bohai Kingdom would definitely be able to respond.
However, what Li Fei wanted was that the Bohai Kingdom was completely frightened and was afraid of Anton for a long time in the future. Even if Anton had any trouble or had empty troops, he still did not dare to attack Anton's attention. The effect of withdrawing troops with the King of Bohai was definitely not achieved under the city wall and on the city wall.
In fact, Li Fei had no idea of taking the opportunity to directly destroy the Bohai Kingdom.
However, the idea of destroying the Bohai Kingdom flashed by and eventually it could not be persisted.
Because destroying a country is not that simple, it is not just about capturing their capital and capturing their kings. It is also about eliminating their remnants, suppressing their remnants, and implementing education, etc., and everything is about energy.
Now is not the time. He not only wants to continue to develop Anton, but also has to deal with the plot of Yang Guozhong or An Lushan, and prepare for the chaos in the world where An Lushan rebelled in a year later. Where can he get the energy?
Li Fei sneered. Of course he knew what the King of Bohai relied on. Isn’t it that all he brought was iron cavalry and did not carry siege equipment, so it would be difficult to attack the capital? Unfortunately, he was prepared!
When Gewuzhou City entered Bohai Kingdom, Li Fei prepared for this moment. He wanted to make Bohai Kingdom completely desperate and without a chance to bargain. Only in this way can the greatest deterrence effect be achieved.
"Prepare to attack the city!" Li Fei ordered with a cold look on his face.
Immediately, the Andong Iron Cavalry soldiers under his command made preparations, inserted their horse spear into the bag on the side of the horse, replaced them with divine arm crossbow and aimed at the Bohai defenders above the city wall. At the same time, a war horse carrying two boxes on his back was led out, which was the remaining "thunderbolt bullet" used by the Modao Formation.
Although this primitive black powder iron-shelled thunderbolt bomb is not very powerful, if two boxes explode together, there is no problem in breaking a wooden iron-packed city gate.
"King, the Tang army is about to start siege the city. The city wall is dangerous. Get off the city wall!" The old minister beside the King of Bohai looked at the Tang army formation under the city and said in shock.
"Hurry, get down the city wall!" The King of Bohai was very panicked and trembled and wanted to go down to the city to hide.
"Shoot!" Li Fei waved his hand under the city wall.
"Ding thudding thud---" Andong Iron Knights' soldiers hooked the trigger of the divine arm crossbow, and the first wave consisted of thousands of arrows, which formed a dense rain of arrows flying towards the city walls of the capital.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom were so scared that they were no longer looking at each other. The Tang army could shoot arrows from such a distance. Even if they stood on the city wall, they could not reach the Tang army and could not even fight back.
Since we cannot fight back, we can only avoid the arrows shot by the Tang army.
The soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom bowed their heads one by one, or simply ran to the city to hide. They also thought that the Tang army was just cavalry, and they did not carry siege equipment and could not climb the city wall.
"Swish!Swish!Swish---"
"Puff!Puff---" Although he was not hiding slowly, some soldiers from the Bohai Kingdom were killed by arrows and were stained with blood on the city.
