The captain of the catapult battalion is tall and useful, but he doesn't have so many ideas. Seeing that all the catapults have been loaded with stones, after testing the distance. Shouted, an attack order was issued: "Ready, ready to launch!" ”

The colonels standing next to the catapult also raised their flags in turn, and shouted to the captain Gao Dayong: "A small team is ready, please launch; The second team is ready and requests to launch; The three squads are ready and request to launch; ……”

In the catapult battalion, the establishment is basically the same as that of other armies in the Liao army now. a squad of every ten catapults; Fifty units are one squadron; One hundred units is a large group.

Gao Dayong immediately issued an attack order: "Each squad fires in turn." ”

The colonels then waved the flags in their hands downwards in turn and gave the order: "A small squad launches; The second team launched ......"

The soldiers of more than 100,000 sides above and below the city were all watching the catapults come out, only to see the cannon rope pulled, and the huge stones loaded by the 50 catapults made a palpitating whistling sound, and smashed towards the walls of the city of Lulou in turn. Although some fell into the city, some fell under the city, most of them still fell on the city walls.

Everyone felt the earth shake, and saw that the defenders on the city wall of Lulou, all the bricks and earth stones near the boulders, all of which were smashed by the stones at this moment, were smashed into blood foam, and the screams were endless. And under the first round of attack by fifty catapults, the city of Rulou cracked a big crack.

When I saw it, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. Commanded: "Keep loading." Pay attention to the distance. ”

The colonels, who were standing in front of the catapult, were busy passing down the order, and the crowd was once again filling the stones. Then, Gao Dayong continued to shout: "Ready, ready to launch!" ”

Another round of stones, in turn, flew towards the city wall of the city of Lou, this time almost all the stones, were concentrated in the area where the first round of the city wall was smashed just now, only to see the city wall of the city shook a few times, began to collapse.

Rong Oyster was overjoyed, I had thought that this new catapult was very powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful! How long has it been before the walls are falling? You know, the catapult has only launched two wheels! In this way, after the catapult launches the third round, the city wall of Rulou will inevitably collapse.

Just when everyone in the city and the city were surprised, Rong Yan showed the quality of being the best general in Yan Kingdom. At this moment, he didn't have much time to be surprised, just waved his big hand and ordered the herald: "Order the whole army, prepare to attack." ”

The herald, like all the soldiers in Liaodi, was overjoyed to see such a powerful catapult. After hearing the boss's order, he hurriedly answered: "No." ”

Immediately on the command platform, the flag flew and the order to prepare for the attack was transmitted.

All the officers and men of Liaodi put down their masks, held their weapons in their hands, and prepared to attack.

At this time, the guards and soldiers on the city of Rulou were all "stunned". No one thought that the power of the Liao army's catapult would be so huge! In just a few clicks, the city wall began to collapse, and it was too late for people to repair it!

Before Wei Tong and the others could react, they saw the third round of stones from the Liao army camp coming over. The city wall of Rulou City that was continuously hit by stones could no longer support it, and under the close blows of dozens of stones of nearly 500 catties, it collapsed violently, and the dust in the sky floated up.

Seeing this, Rong Yi shouted on the command platform: "Raise the flag, the crossbowmen shoot!" Infantry for me! Open the gates as soon as possible! ”

On the command platform, the battle flag was erected, the flag was flying, and the war drums were ringing rapidly.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of crossbowmen in front of the Liao army raised their crossbows and shot at the city wall, like a torrential rain. On the city wall of Rulou, there was a scream of the defenders being shot.

The Liao army all shouted, except for the cavalry, an infantry in front of the army formation closest to the area of the collapsed city wall, under the leadership of his own general Tian Dali, followed by his own lieutenants and hundred generals, all rushed to the area of the collapsed city wall.

"Kill! Kill! The cry broke through the sky.

"Ready to launch!" Before his infantry could reach the collapsed area, Gao Dayong ordered the catapult battalion to launch another wave with boulders to expand the victory. After the launch was completed, I saw that my own infantry was already rushing to the collapsed city wall.

Then he ordered: "Change small stones, launch into the city, and cover the advance of our army." ”

"No."

And at this moment, on the city wall, Wei Tong and the generals of the county guard of Lou City are all broken. It's over, the walls are falling! How else can this be defended?

The deputy general took Wei Tong's arm and said to Wei Tong: "My lord, the city can no longer be defended." When a certain general goes to fight, you should leave the city as soon as possible! ”

Wei Tong shook his head without hesitation and said to the generals: "As a county guard, I have the responsibility to defend the land. Now the war is dead, and it is deserved. Commanders, now that the city is about to be destroyed, I will not ask you for it. If any of you wants to survive, let him get out of the city quickly. ”

When the generals saw Wei Tong like this, their eyes turned red, and they suddenly said: "I am willing to fight to the death with the general." ”

Wei Tong laughed and said to the generals: "That's it, let's die together!" There is also a companion on Huangquan Road. ”

After the first wave of soldiers rushed into the city, they were followed by the second and third waves of infantry of the Liao army...... They all rushed into the city along the collapsed city wall, stepping on the rubble and bricks, and suddenly there was a sound of fighting in the city.

After a while, flames erupted in the city, and thick smoke billowed out. The sounds of fighting, shouting, screaming, and the clashing of weapons are intertwined, like purgatory on earth.

Of course, some of the flames in the city were released by the Liao army, but some were put by the defenders of Rulou City to block the attack of the Liao army. This is true of wars in any era, and it is always the common people who are unlucky.

Wei Tong, the defender of Rulou City, who rushed down the city wall, held a bronze sword in his hand, ready to fight with the Liao infantry who rushed into the city wall. But before he could rush in front of the many Liao infantry, he was discovered by the Liao crossbowmen who rushed in later.

When the crossbowmen saw Wei Tong dressed, they knew that he was a high-ranking general in the city. Before the Liao infantry rushed up, they fired arrows at Wei Tong, and several guards and generals beside Wei Tong hurriedly rushed over and blocked the arrows shot at Wei Tong.

But Wei Tong was immediately besieged by the Liao infantry who rushed up, preparing to capture Wei Tong. Wei Tong shouted, led the few soldiers beside him, and rushed forward to engage the Liao army, but was immediately shot by an arrow from the Liao army.

Wei Tong gasped for breath, knowing that he had no strength to fight, and shouted in the direction of the capital city of Su Shenggu: "King, Weichen has gone." ”

Immediately raised his sword to kill himself, and in the splash of blood, Wei Tong, the county guard of Loucheng City, slowly fell to the ground, martyring for the country. At the moment of his fall, he realized that the Goguryeo Kingdom was over.

The gates of the city have been opened, and more and more Liao soldiers have poured into the city. Outside the city, Rong Yi and his Chinese army and cavalry did not enter, but stood quietly outside the city, waiting for the end of the battle.

With the death of Wei Tong, the defender of Rulou City, the defenders of Rulou City surrendered one after another. In less than an hour, except for a few dozen soldiers who were still loyal to Wei Tong, who resisted sporadically, the rest of the city calmed down.

Rong Yan had already stood on the wall of the city and said to the herald: "The order can be concentrated to extinguish the sporadic resistance in the city. The generals were divided into areas to assist the people in the city and quickly put out the fire. Order the medics to treat our wounded as soon as possible! ”

"No." The herald answered.

After a while, a herald ran to Rong Yi to report: "General Qiyu, several warehouses in the city of Lulou have been accepted by our army. According to the defenders of the warehouse in the city of Rulou, the county guard Wei Tong confessed before his death that he was not allowed to burn the grain, grass and materials in the warehouse, so that the people in the city would not lack food. ”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Rong Yan was also stunned for a long time, and after half a ring, he turned to the generals beside him and said: "This Wei Tong, as rumored, loves the people like a son." It's a pity that such a great talent can't be used by me! ”

Then he came to the city, walked to the corpse of Wei Tong, the guard of the city of Rulou, and bowed down. The generals of Liaodi were like glorious worms, and they also bowed down to Wei Tong's corpse.

Rong Yan sighed, and explained to his son Rong Yan and the generals who accompanied him: "This Wei Tong is also a loyal minister, and he knew how to save food before he died to help the people. This is also the official I need in Liaodi! It's a shame to die here. Find a good coffin in the city, find a good blessed land, and bury him! If there are family members in the city, they must be treated well, and no one should disturb them. ”

All the generals commanded: "No." ”

Then he turned to the herald and said: "You can report to the Xiangping Prince's Mansion, and say that our army has occupied the city of Lulou and is ready to advance to the capital of Goguryeo." ”

In the tenth year of King Wucheng, on the 18th day of the seventh lunar month, the last gateway of the capital of Goguryeo, the city of Sushenggu, was broken by the Liao army in just two hours. The catapult battalion of the Liao army was mighty in the first large-scale siege battle.

Since then, on the road of the Liao army to the capital city of Goguryeo, there was no longer any strong city.

The capital of the Goguryeo Kingdom, Sushenggu, has been exposed under the front of the Liao army, and the fall of the Goguryeo Kingdom is imminent.
