The Master of the Kingdom - Chapter 134

Su Yi stood far away, wondering how fierce the battle was. But even if he didn’t know, Su Yi felt that he could guess it.

After blowing up the city gate, it should be street fighting, right? Street fighting has always been the most tragic battle. I don’t know how many people will be killed or injured. Before the battle was over, Su Yi was worried.

A group of Mohist scientists did not join the battle either. Like Su Yi, they were protected in the rear camp a little bit far away, only the fire could be seen, and the sound of hacking and killing could be heard.

Now their attention is focused on the terrible explosive barrel.

Although Su Yi had displayed artillery before, but because of the fact that the head was too bad and he kept hitting the open space, people thought that this thing was not as good as a bed crossbow except for a louder noise.

But Su Yi directly demonstrated the blasting effect of explosive barrels this time, and a group of scientists in the Mo family understood that gunpowder was far more powerful than they thought. This group soon imagined its other effects.

Of course not for the role of war.

Gunpowder is a very common thing in the industrial field. It can play a very important role in building roads or dredging rivers, etc.

Of course Su Yi knew this. It’s just that this thing has too much effect in military territory, and the court is not necessarily willing to let it be used for civilian purposes. Without good management measures, it is easy to cause confusion.

However, it is impossible to artificially prohibit it. Just like the Qing Dynasty, because knowing that it is dangerous, and ultimately not even developing oneself, it would be really stupid and hopeless.

Gunpowder played a role in this war. After Su Yi returned to Beijing, he would mention this with His Majesty the Emperor.

This is all afterwards, and Su Yi is more concerned about this battle now. This is the battle that determines the success or failure of Goguryeo. If the capital is captured by the Yu Dynasty, and the emperor and ministers are captured, then the victory has already been settled. If the emperor and ministers ran away, it would be more troublesome, but the capture of the capital is of great importance.

In addition, Su Yi also worried about Mu Yan’s safety. Although he knew that Mu Yan’s strength value did not match his appearance, he was a very famous and famous general. But the sword had no eyes, and Su Yi was still worried whether Mu Yan would be injured.

The previous battle was equivalent to the opponent ran away before fighting. This was the first real battle Su Yi experienced, and it was impossible for Su Yi to not be nervous.

Just as Su Yi was nervously praying for peace, Mu Yan and a group of soldiers had already attacked the city from the four gates at the same time. The battle went smoothly, and Mu Yan had some doubts whether these people had any conspiracy.

They rode horses, screamed and rushed into the city gate. Although they saw many soldiers, there were almost no one to resist. When they saw Yu Chao’s army, they looked scared, crying and robbing the ground, without serious resistance at all.

Although they did catch Goguryeo by surprise, the army in the city might not have expected that Yu Chao would attack the city tonight. But after all, they have been preparing for some time, even if they are caught off guard, they should be able to organize a resistance.

But these people looked frightened, and when they saw Yu Chao’s army, they threw their helmets and armor and fled around, and they didn’t see any resistance at all.

After they rushed into the city, it seemed that these talents finally recovered and began to organize resistance, but Yu Chao’s army had almost all rushed into the city, and the Goguryeo army guarding the four city gates had been dispersed. Sporadic resistance has no effect at all.

Mu Yan slashed all the way and rushed to the vicinity of Goguryeo’s imperial palace, only to encounter a more systematic and fierce resistance for the first time.

It’s just that these guards who guard the palace are far behind the veterans and veterans on the battlefield, and they don’t have the power to fight at all.

And because the battle came so suddenly, the kings and ministers of Goguryeo were all meeting in the palace, and there was no time to prepare to escape. Those kings and ministers were all blocked in the palace, as if they would be caught in a pot.

However, the imperial palace will build tunnels for escape, and Goguryeo is no exception. Knowing that something was wrong, the monarchs hurried to the tunnel.

But authentic construction is very difficult. The tunnels in the palace can’t go directly outside the city, you can only go out of the palace. The rulers of Goguryeo thought that as long as they leave the palace, join the army outside, and let the king dress up, it shouldn’t be particularly difficult to rush out of the city.

It’s really impossible. They can run out and count on the ministers. The king is ready to be captured. Not all of the royal families of Goguryeo are in the capital. Even if the king is captured, but the main army of Goguryeo is still there, when the time comes to let a royal family ascend to the throne, you can continue to confront Yu Chao as usual.

They are ready for the capital to be breached.

No, it has been breached.

It’s just that these people know the Central Plains dynasties very well. It is not the first time that their capital has been breached. After Yu Chao retires, he can rebuild.

But this time they clearly estimated the situation wrong and their luck was very bad. When this pedestrian came out of the tunnel, he happened to encounter a large army of Yu Chao, and that large army happened to be led by Mu Yan.

Mu Yan saw a group of people suddenly appearing on the ground, and then retracted back, suddenly speechless.

Does bringing Su Yi to the war really have a fortune bonus? Last time, the city lord was directly killed. This time the group of people finally met him when they escaped the palace from the tunnel.

Mu Yan waved his hand, and a group of people pushed out a car of explosive barrels. This was originally Mu Yan used dynamite barrels to blow up the palace gate when he guarded against these people occupying the palace and fighting stubbornly. Now, he had the fuse lighted and pushed the explosive barrel into the tunnel.

I wanted to use fire to attack, but it’s too troublesome to find firewood, grease or something. Let’s blow it up with a dynamite barrel. The tunnel will collapse. Even if it doesn’t cause a chain reaction, it’s impossible for these people to leave here. NS. When the time comes, continue to surround the palace.

As for sending someone to chase down from the tunnel, Mu Yan never thought about it.

The tunnel situation is not clear, I don’t know the map, and I don’t know if there are any agencies. Besides, as long as the capital is captured, it doesn’t matter even if these people run away.

Compared with these people, Mu Yan values ​​the main force of Goguryeo who is returning from the frontier soon. He didn’t think that these people would surrender obediently.

Mu Yan pushed several dynamite barrels in one breath. After hearing the muffled sound under the ground, the ground in front of him suddenly collapsed and water came out.

Mu Yan was silent again. Does bringing Su Yi to war really have a fortune bonus? Not only did the tunnel collapse for a long time, but the groundwater exploded. So even if the group of people are not buried by this tunnel, they can’t run the speed of the groundwater spread, right?

Mu Yan left some people here to guard the situation, and then led them to continue to kill in the palace.

Even knowing that there is no one in the palace, but this place still has to be attacked. The people in the palace should also know that the king and ministers have run away, and the resistance should be weakened.

Moreover, Mu Yan’s mood is very complicated now, he needs to use killing to vent.

Su Yi looked out of the city, thinking that tonight must be a sleepless night, but before the sun rose, Mu Yan was back.

Mu Yan’s expression was complex and elusive, with no joy, but it was not sad or angry.

Su Yi asked anxiously, “What? Did someone run away? Or are you injured?”

Mu Yan shook his head and said, “No injuries, people… I don’t know if they ran away, they didn’t find them.”

Su Yi said: “That must have ran away.”

Mu Yan continued to shake his head: “It should be dead.”

Su Yi said: “Did he catch the fire? Burned the palace? You didn’t find his body?”

Mu Yan was silent for a while, and said: “He ran into the tunnel, but I blew the tunnel out of the groundwater. I found another entrance in the palace, but there was already water in the entrance, so I didn’t let anyone else Go down. I don’t know if there are any other tunnel exits in the city, I have sent someone to search for it.”

Su Yi said: “…That’s really unlucky, why did the groundwater explode?”

Mu Yan said: “I think so too… The capital has now been captured. I will continue to issue the decree you made, open the granary, distribute it to the people in the city, and distribute their fields and property.”

“These are secondary. Goguryeo’s main force should be back.” Su Yi said.

Mu Yan smiled and said, “Don’t worry about this.”

Su Yi asked: “Why?”

Mu Yan said: “Our army is also heading to the border of Goguryeo. They take a step back, and we will go one step further.”

Su Yile said: “I’m back so soon? Yes, it’s been so long, so it’s time to arrive.”

When it was decided to fight against Goguryeo, the original army on Liaodong’s side rushed here in secret. The rest of the army to replace Liaodong’s army to support northern Xinjiang. After experiencing a year of scattered battles with Yu Chao, Beijiang now seems to be ready to recuperate, and will commit to the frontier in the future.

If the main force of the Goguryeo Tuning in the frontier returns, the army of the Yu Dynasty will be able to drive straight in from the land.

If he doesn’t come back, Na Mu Yan can continue to conquer the city.

If he is divided into two groups, he can’t stop him from either side. The military strength gap between Goguryeo and Yu Dynasty is still very large. Even if it is only facing the army of Qingzhou and Liaodong, Goguryeo cannot fight on two fronts.

Su Yi was very happy about this: “Then why don’t you see any happiness at all?”

Mu Yan said: “I just didn’t expect it to be so easy. If I let them go for so long, I feel a little complicated.”

Su Yi nodded to express understanding. After guarding for a long time, I didn’t dare to act rashly. I found out that the other party was arrogant after really hitting it. My mood must be a bit complicated.

Now that the battle is over, Su Yi is not needed for the next thing, so he went back to the camp to sleep.

After being nervous for so long and suddenly relaxing, Su Yi felt very sleepy. Maybe I can have a good night’s sleep today. Before marching hurriedly, I didn’t sleep much.

In fact, Mu Yan was in a complicated mood. Of course, it was not like Su Yi said that Goguryeo was too weak.

He fought against Goguryeo, who was taking advantage of the fire and looting and wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman when he was fighting against the Liaodong powerful clan. He knew that Goguryeo’s army was actually not weak in combat effectiveness. Otherwise, even if the Liaodong tycoons were suppressed by the Yu Dynasty, Goguryeo would not even go down to several cities so quickly.

Precisely because he knew the fighting level of Goguryeo, even though Mu Yan knew that this battle had a very good chance of winning, he still felt a little bit happy when he fought so easily… I don’t know if it is good to be happy or to wonder.

Mu Yan certainly knew the reason for the success of this siege.

This is all due to the explosive barrel.

According to the captives, when the city gate was blown open, they were all frightened by the loud noise. The loud noise and fire made them think it was the sky thunder that broke the city gate. Moreover, Su Yi’s reputation was as thunderous in the capital of Goguryeo, when the Yu Dynasty army just landed, the story of the city lord being killed by the thunder fire from the sky spread to the capital.

Although the Goguryeo court strictly prohibited the spread of such nonsense, speech cannot be prohibited.

When the city gate was blasted open, many people remembered the rumor, so they all thought it was the magic power of Master Su Tian. Otherwise, how could all four city gates be broken open by thunder fire?

With Su Tianshi’s supernatural powers, what other battles are you going to fight? Run.

As a result, the soldiers were frightened by the “thunderfire” and fled, and even the generals guarding the city gates were shocked, and they did not react for a while. When they came back to their senses and prepared to reorganize their military discipline, the soldiers were almost running, and the Yu Chao army had all entered the city, and there was no way to return to the sky.

Mu Yan felt that although Su Yi did not participate in the battle, Su Yi’s greatest hero was none other than Su Yi.

“It’s a pity that I can’t ask for credit for him.” Mu Yan sighed.

Su Yi is not suitable for being involved in the war. Not only can he not ask for credit for him, but he also plays down the role of Su Yi in it as much as possible.

But even if he suppresses it, Su Yi’s deeds will definitely spread. He could only negotiate with the Emperor after he went back, and he could no longer let Su Yi go to the battlefield. Otherwise, Su Yi might be used by some people as a “magic weapon” for winning on the battlefield. Whenever the war situation is not good, Su Yi will be sent to the front.

Su Yi didn’t clamor about his own merits on weekdays. Even though it was the binoculars and gunpowder, the generals knew that Su Yi made them, but they all thought Su Yi led the Mo family to toss them out. He could completely push it all to the Mu family.

“After Kangle goes back this time, I must be seriously ill.” Mu Yan sighed, “Your Majesty will definitely have a headache.”

They all knew that these were actually gunpowder, and had nothing to do with Su Yi’s supernatural powers, but there would always be people in the DPRK and the Central Government who would use this as an excuse to let Su Yi step into a dangerous situation.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Afterwards, the war situation was indeed as Mu Yan had inferred. Even if the main force of Goguryeo survived, it was doomed to defeat.

The leaders of Goguryeo’s main army are also smart, knowing that whether they retreat or divide their forces, they will be defeated by Yu Chao. So they quickly seized several cities and resisted according to the cities.

Although the Liaodong army is not owned by Mu Yan, with the emperor’s imperial decree, Mu Yan will be the main general in this battle. The two armies must converge as soon as possible, and then everything will listen to Mu Yan.

In order to ensure that the army obeyed orders, the man who led the army in Liaodong was Mu Yan’s old partner.

Mu Yan once smashed in the Liaodong and Liaodong tycoons, and there are still many of his old family members in the Liaodong army.

Mu Yan had already sent people to pass on the policies implemented in these cities to Liaodong’s army, and told them that this was a sacred decree, and it was done directly without much consideration.

Although the generals of the Liaodong army were puzzled, since this was an imperial decree and Mu Yan was the chief general, they naturally followed suit.

The two armies did not control the cities occupied by the main force of Goguryeo, but slowly encroached on the other land of Goguryeo.

They are advancing very quickly. The defense forces of other cities in Koguryo were very weak, and the fact that the capital was smashed by thunder and fire by Su Tianshi quickly spread. The Liaodong army is nothing more, although it encountered less resistance, somehow there was resistance. Mu Yan’s army, as long as they fire a cannon at the gate of the city, let the people in the city listen to it, and the soldiers in the city basically disappeared.

However, no city directly surrendered. Because the policies of the Yu Dynasty seriously endangered the rights of the nobles of Goguryeo, if they surrendered, they could not guarantee that their property and land would be allocated to the “untouchables” by the Yu Dynasty.

It’s just that even if they want to resist, they don’t have the strength to resist. So they forced the people in the city to fight, and beheaded if they flinched.

But the common people are more afraid of divine things than the nobles, and when they think of Master Su Tian, ​​they can’t afford to resist.

In order to resist the army of the Yu Dynasty, the nobles in the cities of Goguryeo aggressively conquered, and the people complained. In addition, Mu Yan made people continue to promote the policy of “following the Yu Dynasty to have food and land,” and soon uprisings and riots broke out in Goguryeo.

First of all, the newly recruited soldiers of a city conspired to hack to death the officials, broke the city lord’s mansion, and went directly out of the city to meet Mu Yan.

At that time Mu Yan was still considering how to attack the city. There are not many shells, and Su Yi said that he could take the materials locally, but it is also very difficult to find raw materials in places where he is unfamiliar. Accustomed to the easy life of siege where they flee around after a single shot, suddenly letting them attack the city seriously, it’s really a bit unaccustomed.

As a result, the opponent surrendered out of the city.

Only then did Mu Yan deeply understand the meaning of Su Yi’s move. This kind of gathering of people’s hearts is terrible, not only after the occupation of Goguryeo, it will benefit the future governance, and even on the battlefield, it will also have a direct effect.

After a city “uprising” and “riot”, it was like Su Yi’s dynamite barrel piled at the gate of the city, and there was a chain reaction in an instant.

Soon, riots broke out in many cities. Not only the recruited soldiers, but ordinary people also took refuge in Yu Dynasty in various ways.

Some of them deliver letters, some steal the gates of the city, some set fires in the city and looted them. In an instant, except for the cities occupied by the main force, wars ignited all over the ground in Goguryeo.

The war was not caused by Yu Dynasty’s army.

The general of the Liaodong army looked dumbfounded.

Due to the fast advancing speed, Goguryeo’s land area is not too large, and they quickly merged with Mu Yan. After the meeting, these people heard various unreliable gossips from the generals and soldiers brought by Mu Yan, who had blindly worshipped Su Tianshi.

The other generals are no more, but they grow in awe of Su Yi. Ordinary soldiers, seeing Su Yi from a distance, couldn’t help kneeling and kowtow.

Su Yi said that the pressure was a little bit heavy.

Under Mu Yan’s military order, the soldiers were finally able to treat Su Yi with a normal attitude, although they didn’t know what these people thought.

Under Mu Yan’s explanation, the generals knew that this was just a misunderstanding and a misunderstanding caused by new weapons. And that new weapon is still in the experimental stage and cannot be used on a large scale. When you go back, write a report to your majesty first. No, write a booklet and see what the emperor does. And that new weapon was actually made by the Mohist school, so Master Su would not be able to make this kind of thing. Master Su Tian is just… yes, just suppressing Qi Luck.

From the word “suppression of Qi Luck”, it can be seen that Mu Yan often listens to Su Yi telling various myths and fantasy novels.

However, it is indeed Su Yi’s contribution to let the Yu Dynasty army treat the ordinary people of Goguryeo well, and finally let the people of Goguryeo continue to rely on the Yu Dynasty army.

This is all due to Master Su’s care for the common people! Master Su is benevolent to the people, and the people naturally turn to Master Su and our Yuchao!

Sutian Master Races High! We must continue to be kind and benevolent! Goguryeo’s local tyrant! Give the field to the poor people!

Anyway, it is not our Yuchao’s rich family, it would have been eradicated. Rather than waiting for them to make trouble for Yu Chao, we still can’t do anything on the face because they have surrendered, and we can only wait for the opportunity in secret.

The generals stroked their beards and said yes.

We are so kind. We have never seen such a kind army. We are the messengers of justice to rescue the people of Goguryeo.

Under this kind of propaganda, only the cities occupied by the main force of Goguryeo were left.

In response, Mu Yan adopted a strategy of only besieging but not attacking, and kept shouting to the poor people in the city.

Su Yi said that you may not hear what you say, and we have to play something else. For example, draw pictures of villains, fly kites and hot air balloons, and drop them into the city.

People in Goguryeo don’t know much, but the pictures are all understandable. As long as you take refuge in Yu Chao, not only will you not be injured in battle, but there will also be fields you can divide. You soldiers come from all over Goguryeo, and most of them were born in poor families. You are also people with families. Your family has embarked on a happy life, and now you are the only one missing.

Guys, make an appointment?

The Goguryeo soldiers and low-level officers who defected every day said that we must make an appointment!

The people in the city originally thought that with so many armaments and supplies, they could last a few months at any rate, and then think of other ways, such as uniting with the Hu people in northern Xinjiang, or buying through the people inside Yuchao. As a result, there was a riot in the city.

The armaments were burned, the city gates were opened, and many soldiers turned to each other. Only the nobles were struggling to support them, and those nobles were quickly chopped down by the rioting soldiers themselves.

Mu Yan said that this was the easiest war he fought.
