It only took one day to eliminate the troops in the three counties.
Wang Zhi gathered all the people and gathered at the Zhengnan Gate.
Trebuchets stood tall and towering boulders were piled beside them.
They could be thrown out with just one command.
After a day of fierce fighting and after arranging patrols, everyone could rest.
However, people like A Da and Li Kui still gathered in Wang Zhi's tent to discuss the next action.
"According to intelligence, we only have three days at most.
Any more will be dangerous."
This news from Wang Zhi was also obtained by insiders after combining many factors.
There are 300,000 permanent troops stationed in Pyongyang City and nearby areas.
However, Gao Huizhen had transferred many of them before, and the navy had transferred some.
However, Zhang Liang made a surprise attack, and had to send out another wave of troops, three times five divided by two. , there are only 40,000 troops left in Pyongyang City, and there are only 15,000 troops outside the city.
"Trash, everything is trash."
Gao Jianwu was furious.
The previous naval commander had sworn that although he could not guarantee the complete annihilation of the Tang Dynasty Navy, a heavy blow would still be possible.
But now, the navy's thousands of large and small warships have been completely wiped out.
The loss of the warships is nothing more.
However, the tens of thousands of naval forces, plus the tens of thousands of infantry reinforcements, have not returned.
Gao Jianwu did not expect that Wang Zhi would be so fast.
In just two days, he came from Changkou.
This was not a rush march, but a real fight.
Moreover, in just one day, all the 15,000 troops outside the city were wiped out except for a few who escaped.
This made Gao Jianwu panic, but also secretly worried, how could this Tang army be so powerful?
"Let's talk about it, what should we do now?"
Gao Jianwu was done with his temper, and his anger had subsided a little.
The crisis still had to be resolved.
"Your Majesty, if nothing else, our city of Pyongyang has high walls and thick walls, so it cannot be easily breached.
Besides, the Tang army outside the city is only 20,000 to 30,000 strong.
How could they possibly get in?"
"Your Majesty, I agree with you.
The art of war is to encircle it at ten times, attack at five times, and divide it at times.
Our city of Pyongyang has high walls and thick walls.
If we want to break through, it is impossible without an army of two to three hundred thousand people. , so your Majesty can rest assured."
"Your Majesty, the nearest city from here only takes three days to reach, so as long as we hold on for three days, reinforcements will come."
Although the ministers admitted that the Tang army was powerful in combat, with only 20,000 to 30,000 troops, it was still a little short of defeating Pyongyang City.
Therefore, although the ministers acknowledged the strength of the Tang army in their hearts, they really didn't pay much attention to it.
You can't fight in, so it's useless to show off your power.
Gao Jianwu waved his hand, indicating that he could retreat.
A war broke out.
Gai Suyuanwen, who had a problem with him, went to Anshi.
Gao Huizhen met Zhang Liang, and at the same time, he brought many officials and generals with him.
So much so that now, in the court, there is not even a single person who can come up with any ideas.
They are all just patting themselves on the back and not getting down to business.
"Forget it, I can only hold on."
Gao Jianwu has already issued an order for reinforcements from the nearest city, and also issued a recruitment order in the city to select young and strong people to join the militia team to help defend the city wall.

Gao Jianwu was nervous, and Wang Zhi was equally nervous.
There were no larger cities in the four directions, southeast, northwest, and only the west.
Moreover, he had fought all the way here, so reinforcements were basically impossible.
However, the armies must have been rolling in from the other three directions.
In three days, they will gather and even surround themselves.
Therefore, Wang Zhi only has three days, whether he succeeds or fails, he will have to retreat by then.
"Brother, we have so many grenades.
I don't believe it.
Why can't we blow them up?"
Ada said anxiously.
Time is so tight.
How can we attack it unless we blow it up with a grenade?
"This is not necessarily true.
I have seen it.
The thickness of the walls of Pyongyang City is not much thinner than that of our Chang'an City.
It is basically impossible to explode it."
Zhang Heng shook his head and said, grenades, just like Wang Zhi said, are not omnipotent.
Of course Wang Zhi also knows that the current explosives cannot blow through such a thick city wall, unless the grenade technology can be greatly improved.
Obviously, it is impossible now because there is not enough time.
"What about the city gate?
As long as we blow the city gate open, wouldn't it be the same?"
Li Kui asked doubtfully.
Just because the city wall is thick, doesn't it mean that the city gate is also that thick?
"Indeed, but after we fought for a day, Gao Jianwu in the city was not idle.
He recruited many civilians and sealed the city gate.
Behind the city gate was an extremely thick wall, a newly built wall."
"However, there are only two of the eight city gates that are not blocked, so the most important thing is to find out which gate it is.
After all, our grenades cannot withstand being blown up several times."
Wang Zhi was also helpless.
If he didn't make the right choice and the city gate was blown open, there would still be a thick brick wall, which would be a waste.
Besides, although he brought a lot of grenades, he had been using them intermittently.
A lot has been used, so there isn't much left.
Wang Zhi was waiting for news about Wang Jiu, and it was impossible to bet on the one-eighth chance.
It's a pity that half a day has passed and Wang Jiu still hasn't sent any news.
Ah Da couldn't stop and commanded the trebuchet to launch the attack for a whole day.
Although the result was unknown, it was probably not too big.
Many times, the boulders fell near the city wall and could not reach the city at all.
Wang Zhi also shook his head secretly.
At this time, martial law would definitely be enforced in the city, and it would be difficult for Wang Jiu to spread the news.
If three days pass, Wang Zhi can only try his luck, or throw in all the remaining alcohol and fire oil.
As for how big the fire can be, it depends on luck.
"Azhi, don't worry too much, we'll come back next time."
Seeing that Wang Zhi's lips had blistered in less than a day, Xiumei felt extremely distressed.
"I'm fine.
Go to sleep.

It's already midnight."
Wang Zhi shook his head.
At this time, how could he not be worried about how he would be able to sleep next time?
It would be impossible.
With Wang Zhi's surprise attack, Gao Jianwu would be more vigilant no matter whether it was successful or not.
It was also due to various coincidences. , which resulted in the empty situation in Pyongyang today.
It will not happen again next time.
Although he really wanted to accompany Wang Zhi, he was pinned down on the bed and ordered to have a good rest.
During the battle, everyone must go all out, including Xiumei, including Wang Zhi himself, who must charge on the front line.
No People are exceptions, so it’s important to restore your physical strength.
"Brother, Wang Jiu is here."
Just when Wang Zhi wanted to lie down for a while, Xue Rengui's voice of surprise came from outside
