After another deafening explosion, there were few Goguryeo defenders standing at the head of the city. The more than 1,000 Tang troops walked up to the head of Liaodong City, which had paid a huge price a few days ago, and looked down at the panicked city in several aspects.

The remnants of the Goguryeo defenders no longer had the unruly and complacent bravery of which they were so proud, and they were inconspicuous by the sparkling black bumps in front of them, the size of their fists, but when they landed at the top of the city, they made an earth-shattering explosion, and then the brave warriors fell in a pool of blood.

The Goguryeo people are able to fight well, but the enemy they face is an enemy that can be killed with swords and spears face to face, no matter how fierce they are, the Goguryeo people are not afraid, and the successive dynasties of the Central Plains have launched countless conquests against them, and they have been resisted by Goguryeo.

Before the Tang army's attack, Goguryeo was actually prepared, and they also had spies to find out the news, the Tang army had extremely powerful weapons that were used in the Battle of Songzhou and the Battle of Gaochang, and the Goguryeo people also knew that the Tang Army had this killer feature, but what was the effect of the explosion, the spies all heard that the survivors narrated, everyone had their own understanding and exaggeration, and the effect became bigger and bigger, so big that when it reached Goguryeo, everyone didn't believe in the power of this weapon.

But today they officially learned the power of the grenade, a small black bump has earth-shattering lethality, as long as the contact is light, the hand and foot will be broken, and the heavy will kill instantly.

The reinforcements who arrived later on the city wall only dared to stand far away, they witnessed the power of the explosion just now, and they no longer dared to approach the Tang troops who were all wrapped in iron sheets, but when they saw that the follow-up ordinary Tang troops had poured into the gap like a tide, all the Goguryeo soldiers began to break and flee, and their eyes no longer had the contempt they had when they saw the Tang army, instead of a frightened gaze.

The army was already defeated, those defenders cried and ran to the city, and the Tang army behind had already begun to set off in the whole team, they were divided into several squads, using the men of the firearms battalion as arrows, and broke into the city separately, striving to expand the results of the battle.

Just when chaos had begun to appear in the city, the soldiers and the people in the city began to flee in panic, and the Tang army, under the leadership of the firearms battalion, was attacking everywhere and threw grenades to disperse the crowd when they saw a large number of people, and then the Tang officers and soldiers behind rushed up to slash and kill, the efficiency was very fast, and it had already occupied a block.

At this time, a group of people hurried over on the streets of Liaodong City, led by a man in his fifties, with gray hair, a shaved body, a pair of triangular eyes that looked more fierce, and the huge hooked nose and nasolabial folds at the corners of his mouth showed that he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time, and he was ruthless.

Looking at the chaotic streets, his eyes darkened, and then he suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the neck of a soldier who was desperately shouting, and the soldier clutched his neck and opened his eyes in disbelief before slowly falling.

The guards around him did the same, drawing their swords one after another, hacking the first few people to death, and then aiming their swords at the stunned soldiers.

The person at the head rubbed the blood on the sword on the clothes on the corpse's body, and then said loudly: "Everyone knows me, I am Li Xiuzhen, the city lord of Liaodong City." Looking at their eyes full of fear, Li Xiuzhen said coldly: "Now is the critical moment to defend the city, those who dare to escape from the battle, behead!" Whoever troubles the hearts of the army, slash! Even if the Tang Army has special weapons, we can't retreat! ”

He pointed to the panicked people around him and said: "Look at it, these are our people of Goguryeo, and they are also your fathers, elders, wives and children, as long as we retreat, they will be slaughtered by the Tang army, rape * adultery, our hatred with the Tang army cannot be resolved, only they die or we die." Our Liaodong City is broken, then our Goguryeo country will be exposed in front of the Tang Army, and the tragic fate of our Goguryeo people who lost the country and exterminated the species is caused by your escape today, do you really want to be such sinners? At the end of the words, Li Xiu roared loudly: "I'm in my fifties, I don't want to leave my home, I want to live and die with this city, and if there is a kind, follow me!" ”

The Goguryeo defenders present watched Li Xiuzhen walk in the direction of the Tang army's attack with the guards, and were stunned for a while, and then finally one of them shouted: "I'll fight with you!" Then he followed Li Xiuzhen's direction without looking back, and then the second person, the third person, and more people rushed up.

What Li Dongsheng was most worried about still happened, those Goguryeo people aroused the blood in their hearts, they were not afraid of death, and all the staff began to fight back.

Li Shimin and Zhang Jian saw the tide of Tang troops pouring into the city, and finally showed a relieved smile on their faces, in their feelings, as long as the city wall is breached, the fighting spirit of the citizens and defenders in the city will immediately collapse, and then the massacre of the siege troops, the Goguryeo people have blocked me for so many days, I must slaughter the city for three days to relieve the hatred in my heart.

Li Dongsheng looked at Liaodong City expressionlessly, he was assessing where the siege troops were now, whether they had encountered resistance, and found that in the future, they would still have to take charge of the army by themselves, and when the time came, he would raise the hot air balloon, use the telescope to observe the things in the city, and use the flag language to direct the mobilization of the soldiers below, which is better than what he figured out here.

The attacking Don army was already starting to struggle a little. Their mode of operation is similar to the street fighting of later generations, that is, they are divided into several squads, with the firearms battalion as the role of tanks, responsible for dispersing the crowd and blowing up houses in the front, and the Tang soldiers in the back are infantry, responsible for removing the lives of those Goguryeo defenders.

After a period of fighting, the Goguryeo people also mastered a lot of grenades. Although the grenades were still exploding, the Goguryeo people carefully hid behind the houses with shields in their hands, and the crowd was very separated, and some people hid in the collapsed ruins, often giving cold arrows to the Tang army.

There are also more clever people who take advantage of the characteristics of the soldiers of the firearms battalion who are wearing armor and move slowly, take the fire oil that guards the city, pour it directly on their armor, and then throw torches over, although it takes several people to kill the soldiers of a firearms battalion, but sometimes the martyrdom of the grenade will also kill and injure many Tang troops who are caught off guard.

There are still many people hiding in their houses, shooting an arrow from a distance and then disappearing without a trace, in the war there will always be a variety of talents highlighted, the creativity of the masses of the people is endless. After all, the grenade is just a weapon, and its existence is helpful in battle, but the great man said that the key to determining the outcome of the war is people, and now the situation in Liaodong City proves that his words are correct, and no matter how advanced weapons are, they cannot conquer the hearts of strong people.
