Global Warring States: Get the Tang Taizong template at the beginning

Chapter 139 The first achievement is achieved! (Fourth update)
"This city is huge. There are guns, bows and arrows, boiling water, wood and stone guards on the top of the city. It is as solid as a rock and difficult to attack."

Military advisor Du Ruhui was in Li Qian's army, observing the Seven Star Gate in Pyongyang City.

Pyongyang City has seven gates. Except for the Datong and Changqing gates in the east of the city, which were not attacked by the Ming army, a large number of Ming troops gathered outside the other five gates.

There are more than one million Japanese troops in Pyongyang City, plus the Japanese players born in Pyongyang City and the soldiers they brought, there are about two to three million people. Even if the troops are divided into guarding the five city gates that are attacked, there are an average of 40 to 60 Japanese troops in each city gate.

Pyongyang, the city in the national war, is a huge city with complete defensive fortifications. In Du Ruhui's opinion, it is quite difficult to deal with.

Li Qian looked up at the towering walls of Pyongyang and the densely packed Japanese warriors, spear foot soldiers, bow and arrow foot soldiers, and cannon foot soldiers on the walls, and he felt a headache.

How did the Ming army capture this huge city at a relatively low cost?

The Ming army generals Yang Yuan and Zhang Shijue who were in charge of attacking Qixing Gate remained calm. They waved their hands and the Ming army pushed up firearms such as the General Cannon, the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the Destroying Cannon, and the Hundred-shot Gun.

Li Qian was dumbfounded.

Isn’t the Ming army’s equipment too outrageous?
This kind of firearm can only be seen in national wars. If it were placed in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, these equipments of the Ming army would be a dimensionality reduction attack.

"Begin the siege."

Ming army commander Li Rusong and the left vice minister of the Ministry of War Song Yingchang stood on a high place and directed the siege.

As Li Rusong gave the order, the Ming army beat drums to attack, and the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the Destroying Enemy Cannon, the General Cannon and other firearms were fired at the same time, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the mountains were shaking! Smoke and flames rose to the sky, and the fire was fierce and the wind was strong!
Players of the Eastern Han Dynasty who participated in the national war found it difficult to connect the Ming army's heroic performance with the Ming army that was later crushed by the Eight Banners Army.

Eastern Han players do not need to use siege engines themselves to attack the city, as that would result in too many casualties.

Wait for the Ming army to use firearms to destroy the city walls, gates and fortifications, and then try to climb the city walls first!
"Ziyun, lead the cavalry and wait outside the city."

"Wait until the firearms finish their attack and the Ming army's infantry are dispatched, and the rest of you will immediately follow me to attack the city."

Seeing that the Ming army's firearms were not only destroying the city's fortifications but also destroying the Japanese army's morale, Li Qian was not in a hurry to attack the city at this time. Instead, he waited until the Ming army's firearms had destroyed the fortifications as much as possible before attacking them.

Firearms played a deterrent role in destroying fortifications, but to recapture Pyongyang, one still had to rely on fierce hand-to-hand combat.

boom!
When Li Qian was preparing to lead his brave generals to carry flying ladders and force their way up, accompanied by a loud bang, the Seven Star Gate in the west of the city was unexpectedly blasted to pieces by the artillery of Ming general Zhang Shijue!

Li Qian and other lord players were stunned.

No wonder the Ming army was able to defeat a larger force with a smaller one. The Ming army’s firearms and cavalry were the key!

"kill!"

Li Qian reacted quickly.

Since the solid bullets from the Ming army's general cannon smashed the city gate, there was no need to climb the city wall. They could just lead the cavalry to charge in!

Now or never.

Once the Japanese army reacts and builds fences or stone barriers behind the city gate, or blocks the city gate with knife carts, it will be difficult to attack!
"Gee!" Elite cavalrymen including the Black Armor Army, Tunqi Battalion, Yueqi Battalion, Changshui Battalion, and White Robe Army immediately followed Li Qian and tried their best to seize the city gate!
"Kill!!!"

The Ming army and other lord players also launched a full-scale attack!

Firearms are changed to upward shooting to suppress the defenders as much as possible, while the Ming army and players carry ladders and rush to attack the city walls!

The city gate was narrow and could not accommodate so many soldiers and horses. The Ming army took a two-pronged approach, seizing the city gate and attacking the city wall, leaving the Japanese army with no time to spare!

"Go straight to Huanglong!"

Li Qian swung the Fire Dragon Spear in his hand forward fiercely, and a huge hot airflow swept forward, and more than a dozen Japanese samurai and foot soldiers burst into blood mist!
The four fierce generals Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and Zhai Changsun rushed into the city gate side by side with Li Qian, like a harvester, killing gods and Buddhas!
Rows of Japanese samurai, spearmen, ronin, and ninjas were all killed by Li Qian and the four generals of the Black Armor Army!

Even if he was lucky enough to survive when facing five powerful generals fighting side by side, he would be trampled into a meat paste by the subsequent Black Armor Army!
Perhaps even the Japanese army defending Pyongyang City did not expect that the Chilsung Gate would be destroyed by the Ming Army's firearms, and that the Ming Army would break into the city so quickly. Therefore, after Li Qian led the cavalry into the city in time, the defenders were in chaos.

If the Japanese army had been adequately prepared, they might not have lost so quickly.

The Japanese players only had one day yesterday to prepare. Before they were fully familiar with the terrain, the Ming army had already breached the Seven Star Gate!

The Black Armor Army is a tenth-tier military force. As the spearhead of the Ming Army, they broke into the city through the Seven Star Gate with unstoppable force, destroying all defenses and disrupting the defenders!

The follow-up troops of Tiance Town also attacked the city. Afterwards, a large number of Ming troops and troops of other lord players all rushed into the city!
Li Qian led the Black Armor Army and advanced forward, trying to destroy the Japanese army's deployment as much as possible!
All the Japanese soldiers encountered along the way were destroyed by Li Qian's Black Armor Army!

All along the way, there were the wailing sounds and screams of Japanese players and samurai.

In front, a Japanese general led hundreds of samurai and thousands of spearmen, blocking the streets and trying to stop Li Qian's cavalry.

Under normal circumstances, even heavily armored cavalry would not easily charge into a spear phalanx.

But this is not entirely true. The situation in war is ever-changing. When the strength of both sides is too different, you can completely use cavalry to destroy the other side!
The Black Armor Army began to accelerate. Li Qian, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhai Changsun led the Black Armor Army and crushed them head-on!
The cavalry rushed out with swords and guns ringing!

"Who else would it be than me!"

Li Qian used the most powerful move of "Ba Wang Spear Technique" and stabbed the Japanese generals lined up in front of him with all his strength with an indomitable and fearless momentum!
With this shot, Li Qian was like the King of Chu reborn!
Li Qian didn't know who the Japanese general who blocked his way was, but no matter what, he would attack with all his strength!

When a lion fights a rabbit, he must use all his strength!
The Japanese generals only saw five fierce Ming army generals coming at them with an aggressive and unstoppable force.

He just realized that something was wrong, but there was no way to avoid it. He could only grit his teeth and fight back!

A domineering shot came at him, knocking his katana away, and pierced through his chest, splashing hot blood!

Li Qian’s military strength was as high as 100. With just one strike, the Japanese general was killed!

The Black Armor Army crushed past, overwhelmed thousands of spearmen, trampled them mercilessly, and blood flowed like a river!
"Ding, you killed the Japanese general Goto Nobuyasu (lv99), and gained 1500 experience points and 3000 military merit points."

"Ding, you killed a third-rate Japanese general and completed the National War series achievement task 'First Merit'. Please go to the [Achievements] list to claim your reward."
