Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Chapter 301 Li Chengqian's eldest grandson Wuji was scared stupid!The position of the prince is not guaranteed!

Regarding bulldozing the entire city, Li Ke felt no burden at all.

Anyway, this is the city of Goguryeo, and the people inside are also soldiers and common people of Goguryeo.

These houses do not belong to the people of Tang Dynasty, even if they are destroyed, there will be no loss.

It's very simple, either through street fighting, all the enemy troops in Gaimu City can be wiped out in the end, but the price paid may be the casualties of many Shenji Battalion and Yangzhou Navy soldiers.

Or just use artillery to bulldoze the whole city, and all the houses will be smashed down.

Although it consumes a little more ammunition, it can wipe out all the enemy troops in Gaimu City, and can guarantee the safety of the soldiers under his command.

Therefore, there is no need to think at all, just bombard it with artillery and it's over!

As for the ammunition, if there is not enough of this thing, it will just be replenished.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The artillery took the order immediately, and then began to quickly enter the city with horses pulling the artillery one by one.

Hearing Li Ke's order, Li Shimin and others gave Li Ke admiring glances.

To be handsome, one must be decisive and ruthless.

One cannot have a heart of kindness, otherwise kindness to the enemy is cruelty to one's own people.

Soon, the cannons were transported to the city of Gaimu, lined up, with the muzzles facing the houses in front.

The defenders of Gaimu City are hidden in these houses, all looking for opportunities to shoot hidden arrows at Tang Jun.

Some people noticed Tang Jun's actions, but they didn't know what Tang Jun wanted to do.

But the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Yangzhou Navy clearly knew the meaning of the artillery lined up.

As a result, they all retreated, giving up the front view, and retreated behind the artillery.

"fire!"

Qu Wenkang ordered in a cold tone.

The one who was injured just now was a soldier of the Yangzhou Navy.

Although he was shot in the back, he was also injured, becoming the first one in this army to be injured.

He broke the record of no casualties in the Tang army, which naturally made him very angry.

Matches were scratched one by one, and then the fuse of the cannon was ignited.

Bang bang bang!

Cannonballs rushed towards the houses in front of them at high speed.

Houses in this era were basically made of mud, wood, thatch and other materials, which were as brittle as a piece of paper in front of shells.

A house was hit by shells and collapsed, and 257 stirred up a burst of dust.

Afterwards, the guards of Gaimu City struggled to stand up from the collapsed houses in disgrace.

However, before they could stand still and see clearly what was going on, a few bullets hit them precisely.

After being hit by the bullet, he stiffened a little in place, then fell straight down, stirring up a piece of dust again.

This happened everywhere, houses collapsed one after another, and defenders of Gaimu City were shot dead by muskets one by one.

Anyway, the tactic is that the artillery washes the ground first, and then the muskets finish.

The angle of the muzzle also gradually increased from a flat angle to an elevation angle, and the shells hit farther and farther away, smashing and collapsing houses farther and farther away.

In the end, many defenders of Gaimu City ran out of the houses and did not hide anymore.

Because they also discovered that Tang Jun didn't care about these houses at all, nor did he care about the people in these houses.

Whether it is the defenders or the common people, they are all enemies in the eyes of Tang Jun!

In such a situation, there is no point in continuing to hide in the house.

Not only can't hide, but it has become a living target with huge goals.

Seeing the enemy soldiers running out one by one, a sneer appeared on Qu Wenkang's face.

"Give this general a hard hit!"

Qu Wenkang ordered immediately.

Immediately, the triggers of the muskets were pulled, and the bullets flew towards the defenders who ran out of the house.

Outside Gaimu City, after Li Ke heard the loud noise of gunfire and the sound of gunfire, he knew that fighting had started inside according to his plan.

About half an hour later, Qu Wenkang and Su Dingfang arrived outside the city.

"Report to Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Wu, the 2 defenders of Gaimu City have been wiped out, and 4 people have been captured!"

The two reported the results in the city to Li Shimin and Li Ke.

Hearing this, Li Shimin and Li Ke both nodded in satisfaction.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Ke said something with a smile, then came to the city wall and looked into the city.

What came into view was ruins and the corpses of Gaimu city defenders.

It used to be full of houses here, but now it has been battered and completely in ruins.

However, Li Ke didn't care much, since it wasn't Datang's house that was being hit anyway.

In the future, after Datang incorporates all Goguryeo territory into the territory of Datang, it will naturally be rebuilt.

If it weren't for fighting like this, it would not be so easy to capture this Gaimu city now.

Su Dingfang and Qu Wenkang never mentioned how many people were accidentally injured in the process.

And Li Ke, Li Shimin and others also tacitly ignored the matter.

No way, this is war!

Since the defenders of Gaimu City chose to use the houses of the common people, this situation was destined to happen.

Standing on the city wall, Hou Junji looked at the unrecognizable ruins in the city, his eyes were full of shock.

The destructive power of the artillery is too strong, completely beyond his knowledge of weapons!

If he led the army to engage in street fighting with the defenders of Gaimu City, it would definitely last for a long time, and the casualties would be huge.

Because of the street fighting in Gaimu City, the defenders of Gaimu City naturally have a terrain advantage, and they are familiar with each house.

Tang Jun is naturally completely unfamiliar with these terrains.

In this case, Tang Jun will still have a disadvantage.

But Li Ke used artillery to directly bulldoze all these houses.

You want to street fight with me?Don't realize, it's flat land now!

Where the field of vision is wide, that is the world of muskets.

The range of the bow and arrow is not enough to see in front of the musket. Before the bow is drawn, the bullet has already hit the enemy's body.

Li Ke completely adopted a simple and rude method, turning the street fighting that was not conducive to the Tang army into a frontal battle that was beneficial to the Tang army.

This way of fighting is completely different from before.

"With His Royal Highness King Wu here, our Tang army will be invincible!"

Hou Junji was really convinced, and he admired Li Ke from all aspects.

What he admired before was Li Ke's other talents and abilities.

But now, he also sincerely admires Li Ke's military ability and talent.

In terms of his ability to fight and his understanding of these two new weapons, he is truly unrivaled in the world!

Hearing this, Li Ke naturally smiled and said some polite words.

Afterwards, the prisoners began to be disposed of, the people were resettled, and supplies were collected.

As well as cleaning up the battlefield, for example, if the used shells are still intact, they can continue to be recycled.

After all matters were dealt with, the army marched towards the next city.

During the march of the army, the battle report from the front line was also expedited and sent to Chang'an City at the fastest speed through eight hundred miles.

"Good news from the front line!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu displayed his might on the Goguryeo battlefield and wiped out 21 enemies!"

A messenger rode a horse and arrived at the gate of Chang'an City at an extremely fast speed.

The guard at the gate of Chang'an City saw that Babaili was in a hurry, so he quickly stepped aside for him, allowing him to enter Chang'an City unimpeded.

By the time they recalled it, the messenger had already entered Chang'an City a long way away.

"What did he just say?"

"His Royal Highness King Wu wiped out 21 enemies on the Goguryeo battlefield?"

The guards at the gate of Chang'an City immediately widened their eyes, filled with shock, when they thought of the good news they had just heard.

Suzaku Street is very lively, people come and go, and it is extremely prosperous.

Suddenly there was a man riding a war horse galloping past Suzaku Street at an extremely fast speed, shouting while galloping.

"Great victory on the front line!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu has fought and won victoriously, conquering cities and conquering territory, annihilating 21 enemies!"

Because the speed of the war horse was too fast, everyone only heard the sound but did not see the person.

But even so, what the messenger said still made the people on Suzaku Street excited!

"His Highness King Wu won the battle in Goguryeo?"

"His Royal Highness King Wu is indeed capable of both civil and military skills!"

"Annihilate 21 enemies? His Royal Highness King Wu is too powerful!"

"I really want to know the specific process and detailed battle report!"

"Should it be published in the newspaper tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, just wait for tomorrow's newspaper."

After everyone heard the good news, they all discussed happily.

This expedition to Goguryeo was a big event for Datang.

His Majesty the Emperor personally marched, and issued an appeal against thieves. Many people are very concerned about this war.

After all, the former Sui Dynasty failed three consecutive expeditions to Goguryeo, and Datang's expedition to Goguryeo this time did not know what to do.

There has been no battle report before, and everyone is still a little nervous.

Now that news finally came back, and it was good news, everyone was naturally very happy.

And His Royal Highness King Wu, whom everyone likes very much, made great contributions on the battlefield and wiped out 21 enemy troops. This is really amazing!

For a while, Li Ke's status in the hearts of the people in Chang'an City became higher and higher.

Wen Neng can write eternal masterpieces, and Wu Neng can wipe out countless enemies!

Li Ke, who is both civil and military, is definitely the perfect candidate for the next emperor in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City.

Discussions on this topic among the people are becoming more and more popular, but the information is limited, and some details and detailed battle reports are not known.

So everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's newspaper, which will definitely publish detailed battle reports.

At this time, eight hundred miles were also rushed to the palace.

In the past, it was sent directly to the Palace of Manna, but now that Li Chengqian is in charge of the country, it was naturally sent to the Crown Prince's East Palace.

Li Chengqian is dealing with government affairs, and at the same time, he is also looking forward to the battle report from the front line.

Next to him are Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji and others, helping him with some affairs.

"Reporting to the prince, there is an urgent call from the front line for [-] miles!"
