Chapter 90: The Battle Begins

The temptation failed, Yizhi Yunwu could only attack to see if he could achieve his goal, although Goguryeo was not well equipped, but it was still quite strong to fight, especially these front-line troops, covered by wooden shields, carrying siege ladders and starting to attack the city, because this was a back-up attack, many instruments were difficult to use, because they could only be suppressed by archers, but unfortunately Qin Qiong They were condescending, the range was farther, the steel arm hard bow was strong, and the arrows were made of steel infusion model, Goguryeo's wooden shield was completely unstoppable, the first wave of two thousand people attacked, Almost half of it fell.

Etoji Yunwen hurriedly withdrew the people, and then the two brothers looked at the city in front of them with sad faces.

This is the first time that the two of them have led the troops alone, and they were full of confidence and wanted to make some achievements, so that the world could see that they were no worse than their fathers. This may be a common problem of the second generation, who want others to recognize themselves instead of their parents, so that when others mention it, they are all "Oh! So you're xxx! Instead of "Oh! It turns out that your xxx son! ”

"What now?" Eji Yunwu asked with a headache.

"There is no way, Anshi is already difficult to fight, there is no tenfold force, and there is no strong attack, even if my father comes, there is no other way." Eulchi Yunwen shook his head and said.

"Yes! The ladder can't be pushed up, the stone thrower is at the foot of the mountain, the distance is not enough, and it is a live target to go up, unless the mountain is hollowed out and entered from the ground. I don't know how I lost it, what a bunch of stupid people! Otoji Yunwu scolded.

"Anyway, we tried our best, we can't attract reinforcements, and we don't care about our affairs, those people in the Yuan family, it's better to die!" Eulchi Yunwen sneered.

"Okay, let's step back three miles and keep an eye on here!"

…………………………

"Kill! Kill! ”

On the eighth day of the fifth month, many horses suddenly appeared outside the Hengshan Pass, and quickly killed the pass, these people carried the siege ladder, which was originally sneaky, and after being discovered, they ran quickly.

"Shoot the arrows!" The head of the city gave an order, and suddenly hundreds of people stood up densely, bent bows and arrows, and looked at the prey under the gate.

"Brush, brush!"

"Brush, brush!"

A group of men released their arrows, then stepped aside, and immediately another group of men with bows and arrows stood at the battlements of the city wall and loosened their bowstrings.

Dense arrows, without a break, kept pouring down, and hundreds of people shot out the momentum of thousands of people.

"Ahhhh The screams were incessant.

The soldiers who raided Goguryeo were all the elite of the elite, and they themselves were ready to be discovered, braving the rain of arrows and rushing with their heads down, but before they rushed to the pass, they found that there were fewer and fewer people around them, and their comrades kept falling, but they still couldn't bear the pressure and turned around and fled for their lives.

"Dangdang!" In the distance, the sound of Mingjin withdrawing his troops was heard, and the Goguryeo soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and left in a gloomy manner.

"Su Wen, what do you think?" Yuan Taizuo asked.

"Father, I saw that Liaodong City was clearly prepared, and Hengshan Pass was obviously heightened and thickened, so it is not appropriate to storm it, it is better to turn the target to Baiyan and Gaimu." A young man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist replied respectfully with two steps forward.

This is Yuan Taizuo's most proud son Yuan Gai Suwen, I saw that he was tall, with two knives on his back, two knives at his waist, and a knife on his arm, his eyes were like eagles, staring at the front coldly and arrogantly, turning his head to look around, like a hungry wolf foraging for food.

"Wu'er is reasonable, but since he is here, he still has to give it a try, and he can't retreat without a fight, isn't it a joke." Yuan Taizuo nodded and said, this son has always been his pride, and he is also very satisfied with the analysis just now.

Yuan Taizuo has always been self-aware, he is just a middle-aged person, not as good as his father Yuan Ziyou, nor as good as Eulzhi Wende, but the proudest thing is to give birth to a good son, at a young age, he is the first master of Goguryeo.

"Being able to completely clear our ears and eyes, it can be seen that the strength must be not small, Nansu, Mudi, and Cangyan have missed again, and I don't know what happened this winter, but they must have means that we don't know, winter warfare." Yuan Gai Suwen persuaded him.

"Wu'er rest assured, the biggest advantage of being a father for so many years is that he never underestimates anyone." Yuan Taizuo said slightly smugly.

"Son, please order the siege!" Yuangai Suwen didn't persuade him, he also wanted to check first.

"Go ahead! Be careful! ”

Yuan Gai Suwen, who got the order, immediately stepped forward and commanded the infantry to prepare for the attack, but now the surprise attack is not successful, and the frontal attack must pay attention to the arrangement of troops, not thinking about rushing over in a mess, that is just sending people to the head.

Archers, sword and shield soldiers cover each other, siege ladders, battering rams, chariots, ladders, nest carts, and stone-throwing carts are also slowly approaching the level.

Goguryeo is completely prepared, all kinds of equipment are available, the nest car is a kind of observation vehicle with wheels underneath, very high, easy to command the direction of attack of ground troops, there are generally two or three people standing above, some observe, some wave the flag to command; The chariot is a kind of large-scale siege equipment, covered with double cowhide outside, and there are one or twenty people below, which are specially used to destroy the city walls, city gates, or dig tunnels, which can withstand rolling wood and thunder stones, and are a very commonly used siege equipment. The cloud ladder is also called the cloud tower, it is very huge, often needs dozens or hundreds of people to push, it is higher than the city wall, the archers on it can be condescending, shoot the opponent, when it is close to the city head, there are hooks, firmly hook the city wall, and the sergeant can quickly rush to the city head.

Goguryeo itself is the land split from the Central Plains, and it has been communicating with the Central Plains for many years, so many siege equipment will be made, but it is just worse than that of the Central Plains, just like the catapult, the stone projectiles of the catapult are about 30 kilograms, and the range is between 100 and 300 meters. The larger the stone projectile, the closer the range, of course, the larger the catapult, the longer the range, and the Goguryeo catapult was much worse, and it only had a range of 200 meters in order to make it as large as possible.

"Humph! Keep them closer! Su Dingfang rushed to the gate and said with a cold snort.

Goguryeo's sneak attack did not succeed in the strong attack, he felt that he was underestimated, he had fought a lot of battles in the past two years, but the most brilliant thing was not him, Su Dingfang naturally had his own arrogance, and secretly decided that he must fight beautifully this time.

At this time, the thirty-bed crossbows were pushed out of the shadow hiding place by the soldiers, and began to aim at the siege equipment under the gate; Three hundred crossbows were also wound.

The Hengshan Pass has been thickened and thickened, and only the battlements of the city wall can see people, and it is also the shooting port of the soldiers, so the defense effect is excellent, and the preparations made on it cannot be seen under the pass, let alone the twenty stone-throwing carts standing behind the pass.
