Not to mention the soldiers of the Mang tribe, even the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were frightened, although they had been told that these city-breaking mines used gunpowder from the fireworks and firecrackers used during the New Year.
Gathered together, they create a huge sound and power, but the power is still scary.
Hou Junji was shocked. He was not far from the battlefield, just over a hundred meters away. Hou Junji witnessed the terrifying explosion. He regretted that he had used it too much.
If he had known earlier, he would not have used so many, because Hou Junji had never used this thing, so he just used fifty this time.
But looking at the power now, I'm afraid a dozen of them would be enough to blow up the enemy's wall. Using so many would be a waste.
However...it seems that it didn't have other effects, because the enemy surrendered.
In other words...all the soldiers in Mangbe, it should be said that everyone was frightened. Many soldiers screamed and knelt on the ground, kowtowing in this direction.
Seeing this scene, the frontline commanding officer decisively stopped the attack. Datang's arrow rain stopped, but the entire Matsube Walled City was surrounded by the strong smell of blood.
Mangchai was already on his deathbed. He barely opened his eyes and could only see that a piece of wood had penetrated directly between his chest and abdomen. Just now, with the huge thunder from the city wall, his whole body was shaken. He was thrown down, and when he landed, a broken wooden stake went directly through his abdomen.
Although he was wearing iron armor, the armor did not provide any protection. Even when the huge force penetrated his body directly, many pieces of iron entered his body.
But these are not important anymore. Whether those iron pieces entered his body or not, they could not change the situation of his death. At the moment of death, Mangchai regretted a little. Why did he want to provoke Datang?
…
Hou Junji slowly stepped into Songbu's village. The huge explosion just now even made a big hole in the ground. It seems that the power of this city-breaking thunder is indeed as powerful as the city-breaking thunder. This power should be more powerful than Jiang Xia's original The power used by the prince and Duke Rong in Gaochang was much greater, right?
After all, I heard that a city-breaking mine as big as a carriage was used to blow open the city wall.
In addition to the city-breaking thunder, Hou Junji looked at the densely packed arrows on the surrounding land and the arrows stuck on the soldiers who fell on the ground. He also had a further intuitive impression of the power of Datang's arrows. .
Mainly because I had a deep impression on the so-called fire coverage tactics proposed by His Highness... It turns out that the arrows of the bow and arrows are dense enough, and combined with the power of the three-sided armor-piercing arrows, the scene formed... is also terrifying.
Under such power, not to mention the Mangbu, even Goguryeo's elite troops may not be able to resist for long.
Even the steel armor currently worn by Datang soldiers can be shot through at a certain distance. The point is that the armor is not completely sealed after all. As long as such an arrow is shot into the body from a certain angle, the soldier will be quite vulnerable. Yu lost his fighting ability and even said... he was dead.
And even Goguryeo's heavily armored soldiers may not be much of a threat when faced with such arrow fire, because they are wearing iron armor, and Hou Junji understands the protective capabilities of iron armor very well.
The previous Mingguang Armor was just iron armor with a layer of cowhide inside, but with such power...
Now Hou Junji is very curious about the power of the two thousand full-time archers led by Zhang Liang. It is said that those archers use the latest longbows developed by the first weapons firm of the Tang Dynasty. The length of the bows and arrows is about 1.5 meters. All of them are The archers are specially selected.
Both their arm strength and physical strength are very strong, and even the food they eat every day is better.
And their bows and arrows are said to be thrown, and the killing distance of the bows and arrows can actually reach a terrifying 200 meters.
Moreover, the things those archers train every day are also very simple, that is, throwing at different angles to shoot at different distances, and then thoroughly memorizing these angles.
Seeing the power of these arrows now, Hou Junji also had a deep understanding of the power of those professional archers. However, it is said that the archers were only experimental archers. There is no specific information on whether Datang conducted large-scale training. A conclusion.
These Hou Junji can't control them.
When Hou Junji came in, soldiers from Mangbu were already kneeling around him, and soldiers from the Tang Dynasty also controlled the entire Mangbu. In addition, medical soldiers from the Tang army had already begun to rescue the wounded.
Such a short attack time brought horrific damage to the Mangbu soldiers. The main reason was that the Mangbu soldiers gathered too densely inside the walled city. When the arrow rain came down, they were unable to withdraw for a while. A safe enough distance that most of them could only be attacked by bows and arrows.
Fortunately, there were some Mangbu houses nearby where they could take shelter, but even so, Hou Junji took a quick glance and knew that there were probably more than a thousand soldiers killed in Mangbu, not counting the subsequent soldiers who were not revived. .
The specific number still needs to be calculated, but all the soldiers in Mangbe were already frightened. The uninjured soldiers and the people in Matsube were all kneeling on the ground.
Obviously they couldn't understand the thunderous sound of the big crater being blown out. For these tribes, the scene that could be called a god descending to earth was far more frightening than the damage caused by those arrows.
"I beg the general to forgive me, we surrender, we surrender." The clan leader of Matsube was lucky and survived. Although he was shot through the arm by an arrow, after the bleeding was stopped, his life was not in danger.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, while many people around him even knelt and crawled on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
"I, the Tang Dynasty, never bully others, but as a common people of the Tang Dynasty, I never allow anyone to bully others. This time, His Highness King Qin ordered that only the culprits be punished. Since you have surrendered and you have learned enough lessons, let's put this matter aside for the time being. Stop it."
"However, the Mangbu have not completely surrendered, so this matter is not completely over. The order I received is to capture all the Mangbu and the Queen's Kingdom. Later, I will release all these soldiers. I Allow them to return to their respective villages, and then when the Tang army arrives, let them lead their villages to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Otherwise, they will end up waiting for them today!" Hou Junji said calmly, "You will tell these words to all the surrendering soldiers later."
"Yes, yes, thank you, General." A look of joy flashed across the face of the Song tribe leader, as long as he could survive.
When Hou Junji captured Mangbu, Zhang Liang, who was two hundred miles away, also led his troops to the vicinity of Wangbu's village.
