933, Street Fighting (Part 2)

"Lord Yang, let's retreat! We only have more than 3,000 people now, so we can't be opponents of the Tang army!" Yang Wanchun's entourage said.

Yang Wanchun was in a private house in the east of the city, and was extremely anxious when he watched his Goguryeo side gradually being squeezed. At first, the Tang army attacked from the east of the city, but Yang Wanchun still thought he could defend it because after all, the soldiers were very familiar with the place here. In addition, he won the hearts of the people and the people would support them, so they should be able to persevere. And it should not be difficult to persevere. After all, they only waited for less than 48 hours, and their reinforcements would also arrive. But in this situation, let alone for less than 48 hours, it has only been less than three hours, and their side has begun to be reduced to such a miserable extent.

These Tang army seemed to be very good at fighting such cities, so in just three hours, Goguryeo suffered heavy losses. This situation was not as good as field battles, and night battles in Goguryeo were not as heavy as those in Goguryeo. This kind of street fighting was originally an advantage in familiar terrain, but now the Tang army's weapons and equipment are not only suitable for street fighting, but also tactics. This team-based combat method can well form a local advantage in number of people over the enemy and also have firepower advantages. Because of the Zhuge crossbow and grenade, the Tang army's firepower advantages of the same number of people are many times more intense than those of the Goguryeo people, which made Goguryeo suffer a great loss.

"Did the Tang army ignore the people and hurt the people of Goguryeo? Aren't the people of Central Plains the most important thing to do to harm the people, and to treat others with kindness?" Yang Wanchun said angrily.

But the soldier said, "They don't treat the people well. As long as they have little doubts, they will throw something that explodes in. They would rather kill the wrong one than let them go. We suffer heavy losses! As long as the soldiers hiding in the people's homes attack them, they really use something that explodes to greet them. Even the people were hurt together! Now, many soldiers who resisted us hid in their homes, because the Tang army would vent their anger on them in this way!"

"Damn it, don't they know that the people of the Tang Dynasty came to invade our Goguryeo, and wanted to take away their land and wealth, and also rob their land?" Yang Wanchun said.

Of course, the followers would not say that the Tang army would not rob ordinary people, but would rob those wealthy families and those Goguryeo governments. In this way, the people did not receive any pain. Because there was no pain, although the people would resist the Tang army at the beginning, if they knew that resisting the Tang army would bring serious consequences, they would choose not to help each other. Therefore, without the cover of the house, these Goguryeo soldiers suffered heavy casualties because they often had to face several times their Tang army in local areas and more than ten times their own firepower density. In this way, the Goguryeo people were seriously damaged.

"Who is the commander of the Tang army? Why are there any people in the Tang army who are good at fighting this kind of urban battle?" Yang Wanchun said.

"I have found out clearly. This time the direct commander of the Tang army was Lin Fei. The person in charge of supervising the battle was Jing Wen!" said the follower.

"Lin Fei? Jing Wen? Jing Wen. I have heard of him as a famous general in the emerging and rising Tang Dynasty. He seemed to have fought against the Turks and Tubo people. But who is Lin Fei? Who are they the ones who commanded this battle? " Yang Wanchun muttered in his heart.

Yang Wanchun was really speechless now. He knew now that he might not be able to defend the city at all. After all, he never expected that the Tang army would be so good at street fighting. Although this kind of skill was only relative, the Tang army's tactics were very effective. Some tactical actions were also specially used to restrain some street fighting. Yang Wanchun's Goguryeo soldiers were not very good at street fighting. Although they were familiar with the terrain, they had no research on street fighting after all. So they were restrained by the Tang army.

The Goguryeo's strong bow and hard crossbows could not play their advantages in this street, but the Tang army's Zhuge crossbows were powerful, which greatly increased the firepower density of the Tang army. The Goguryeo was at a disadvantage whether it was hand-to-hand combat or long-range shooting. In addition, this time the Tang army was fighting in a foreign country, so it had an advantage.

Although there are advantages in local combat in sports competitions, in fact, wars are advantages in foreign countries. The reason is that in local combat in wars, there are many jars, pots, places of interest, and people of your own country. These are all taken care of. They are restricted when fighting. However, foreign wars are different. Foreign wars can be completely free. Anyway, what is lost is not your own wealth or your own people. I am afraid of it! Although there are so-called military discipline constraints, in fact, how to implement them is the business of the guys below. Can the superiors still behead their own people for the interests of the so-called foreigners?

After all, the invaders must have the qualities of invaders, and foreign people rarely support the invaders. The Tang Dynasty had long been prepared for this. Therefore, fighting is not like the domestic combat method, and military discipline must be controlled very strictly. Once a foreign war is fought, fighting is not afraid of losses. Anyway, the losses are not their own things. So the soldiers commanded by Jing Wen are very unpolite now. They fight what should be fought, kill what should be killed, and kill what should be killed, and they are not their own people, and they are not their own houses. Therefore, the Tang army fought very unintentionally, but Goguryeo is different.

Goguryeo not only had to take into account the people and their own property, but they also had to consider how the Tang army would treat the people if the city was lost. If the people of Goguryeo killed too many Tang troops now, and the city was lost, would the Tang army turn the blame on the people, and then the Goguryeo people were killed and retaliated? This was also what Goguryeo soldiers had to take into account, so they were all hindered. This made the Tang army beat them so easily, without any effort.

"Shameless villain, the commander of the Tang army is a shameless villain. We are so shameless, but we are so shameless!" Yang Wanchun said angrily.

"kill!"

"City Lord, the Tang army is here, let's retreat!" the follower shouted.
