"Eh, there are two more people, pull it, the light is going to run."

Zhao Gang, who was pulling the rope controlling the sky lantern with one hand, was dragged by the big guy who was still rising, moved two steps to the side, and hurriedly called for help, however, it was his move that caused Zhang Gongjin and Zhao Long's eyes to shine.

"This lantern is big enough to lift people into the sky."

Zhang Gongjin exhaled.

Zhao Long answered, "You don't need it to pull people to the sky, as long as there is a certain upward drag force, our good climbers here can borrow their strength to climb the cliffs on both sides, pass through the top of the pressure, and hang down to the other side of the cliff with a rope, so that you can report to Your Majesty." ”

The mountain wall is relatively smooth and steep, however, Zhao Long's subordinates have nail claws, hooks, etc., and the Lingnan soldiers are specially used for climbing, and they can always find some rock peaks to borrow, but if you climb with your bare hands, the success rate is not high, but if there is an upward force like Zhao Gang's arm strength that is not a little pulled, it is very likely to succeed.

After all, the position close to the cliff is leeward, then the sky lantern will rise in a straight line, as long as there is a rope under the cliff to control the speed of the sky lantern rise, it can give the climbing wrestlers who are tied to the sky lantern with a separate rope, some upward force, with this force, they can climb up with the help of nail claws, and it can also prevent hand slipping or foot slipping, causing the climber to fall directly from the cliff.

"Quick, pull down the sky lantern, transport it to the bottom of the cliff, fill up the oil inside, burn it more vigorously, and make the rest of it, and use it together······"

With a way, Zhang Gongjin naturally couldn't wait to implement it, they didn't know the significance of this matter to history and science, they just wanted to send the information to the army as soon as possible and resolve this crisis.

On the battlefield, the fighting is still continuing, and after the last round of troops went into battle and charged a few rounds, the 100,000 Tang troops have all been on the battlefield, at this time, Xue Li, who has rested for two or three hours and recovered his physical strength, Cheng Mingzhen, the soldiers of this echelon, put on armor again, ready to take over.

They clearly felt that in these rounds of impact, the resistance of the Goguryeo coalition army became more tenacious, and the number of Tang troops killed exceeded 1,000 and the wounded exceeded 10,000.

However, Li Jing's expectations were not bad, in the direction of Yanjin City, there were no more additional troops on the battlefield, and moreover, the catapults on the city had stopped shooting, and the archers seemed to have withdrawn.

"Your Majesty, after one more round of impact, retreat! The movement on the head of the city is not like a collapse, but more like an evacuation, and the minister is worried that there is fraud in it. ”

Li Jing keenly judged the situation on the battlefield and suggested.

Li Shimin also nodded in agreement, but he still preferred to believe in his heart that Yuangai Suwen had been killed by the Tang Army.

There are indeed anomalies in Yanjin City, Yuangai Suwen is no longer in the tent of the handsome, only where his handsome flag is erected, the 200,000 troops who supervised the battle, and the hundreds of thousands of troops originally arranged at the head of the city, are also like a tide, and withdraw to the south city gate, at this time, the entire Yanjin City is full of a pungent smell, and in front of the north city gate, the number of Gaoju soldiers who confront the Tang army is also getting smaller and smaller.

"Rush ······"

As the 5,000 heavy cavalry led by Xue Li and Cheng Mingzhen rushed into the battlefield like wolves and tigers again, the tens of thousands of horses and horses remaining in the Goguryeo coalition army finally collapsed.

"Hey, the Goguryeo army has been defeated, and our army can take advantage of the situation to attack the city."

What Li Shimin saw in the telescope, Li Jing also saw that the Goguryeo army had indeed collapsed and rolled back, if the Tang army followed their footsteps into the city, then the breakthrough of Yanjin would be in front of him.

However, the trace of doubt in his heart did not dissipate, but if he missed an opportunity to break the city in vain because of that trace of doubt, he felt a little sorry for the more than 1,000 soldiers who died in battle, and between hesitations, Xue Li had already taken the lead and entered the city gate, and behind him, several columns of heavy cavalry had already followed quickly, all the way to the wide streets in the city.

At this time, on the mountain wall on the left side of Yanjin City, Zhao Qiang quickly drooped down the cliff, he could vaguely see the figure of the Tang army entering the city, and he was so anxious that he was almost in the crotch of his pants.

"Whoa."

The landing was a little slammed, and Zhao Qiang's calf was almost broken, but he didn't have much time to relieve the pain in place, so he rushed towards the Tang army camp with his feet open.

"Look, the banner of the Goguryeo army at the head of the city has fallen."

Wei Chigong shouted, and suddenly, Li Shimin's telescope also looked over there, and at this time, he no longer hesitated in his heart.

"Order, the whole army is in armor, enter the city ······"

Li Shimin's military order quickly resounded in the whole army through the heralds, and at this time, Zhao Qiang, who had taken off his armor due to climbing, was rushing towards the big tent of the Tang army.

"Who? Stop him······"

Zhao Qiang saw the place where the gold and iron were placed in the camp tent for the first time, and wanted to rush up to bang the gold directly, but the military on duty kicked him to the ground with one kick.

"I, I am the guard of Sun Zhengming, the governor of Anbei, there is fraud in Yanjin City, quickly Mingjin collects troops, and quickly Mingjin collects troops······"

"The Metropolitan Mansion of Anbei? Bring him up. ”

The main body of the road army is the Anbei Army, Zhao Qiang reported Sun Zhengming's name, the military academy naturally did not doubt him, and soon, Zhao Qiang was put in front of Li Shimin, who had already ridden his horse and was about to enter the city.

"Your Majesty, you must not enter the city, Yuangai Suwen has arranged a large amount of fierce fire oil in the city, once the army enters the city, he will set fire to the city······"

"Igniting the city?"

Li Shimin was still a little stunned when he heard this, but Li Jing on the side finally figured out the situation on the battlefield, and immediately turned over and dismounted, "Your Majesty, this matter should be true, and you should immediately order the troops to be withdrawn." ”

"Ahh

Suddenly turning from a big victory to a possible fiasco, Li Shimin was stunned again.

"Quick, Mingjin."

Li Jing couldn't wait for Li Shimin to give orders in person, and under his shout, the captain who was originally in charge of managing Jin Tie quickly ran to Mingjin Tai and hurriedly rang Jin Tie.

At this time, at the south gate of Yanjin City, Yuangai Suwen looked at the Goguryeo soldiers in the city who were still running towards this side, and waved his hand with a painful and tangled look on his face.

His action was tantamount to pronouncing the death sentence of all the Gaoju soldiers and civilians in the city who had not yet escaped.

Dozens of torches were thrown down, and suddenly, the flames spread rapidly from the south gate to the city, previously, the fierce fire oil that was ordered by Yuangai Suwen to be smashed and dumped in various places in the city was ignited in an instant, and the flames, thick smoke, accompanied by various screams, swept from the south gate to the entire city.

"Oh no, look."

The smoke rose into the air, and Li Shimin quickly grabbed the telescope hanging on his chest and looked into Yanjin City, his face turned pale in an instant.

"We, how many of us have entered the city."

"Back to Your Majesty, more than 30,000."

"More than 30,000? Quick, Mingjin, get them out. ”

As soon as his words fell, at the gate of the north city, a raging fire suddenly blocked the city gate hole, since Yuangai Suwen had decided to use this desperate plan, how could there be no corresponding arrangements!

"Ahh······h

There was an incomparably tragic shout from the Tang army at the gate of the northern city.

When Li Shimin ignited this flame, he suddenly felt his heart shrink, and a feeling of dizziness rushed to his head, if more than 30,000 Tang soldiers were burned alive, all the honors in his life would cease to exist.

"Quick, put out the fire······"

Almost all the generals began to roar at this time, however, in the face of the raging fire, the entire burning city wall, the soldiers could not get close at all.

"Quickly put out the fire······ Poof······"

Li Shimin spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell down to the horse.

"Ahh Your Majesty, Medical Officer, heal ······ quickly"

Wei Chigong turned over, hugged Li Shimin, who had fallen from the horse, turned around, made Li Shimin's meat pad with his body, and began to shout while getting up from the ground, and the entire Tang army camp was also in chaos because of Li Shimin's fall.

Seeing the fire in Yanjin City, Wang Ming showed a crazy smile in his eyes, it seems that Li Shimin has fallen for Yuangai Suwen's plan.

However, Wang Hao did not intend to kill Li Shimin, because only an emperor as eloquent and strategic as Li Shimin could realize the dream in his heart, so the fierce fire oil provided by Wang Ming to Yuangai Suwen was not all genuine.

If there is no accident, there should be a large area in the city, which cannot be burned, and it can be completely used for Li Shimin, who fell into the city, to escape the fire.

Wang Hao just wanted Li Shimin to see with his own eyes the scene of most of his subordinate generals being burned alive, so as to make an irrational decision.

In fact, Wang Hao did guess correctly, Li Shimin really wanted to kill all the Goguryeo rebels who followed Yuangai Suwen at this moment, which was equivalent to slaughtering all the young and strong men of Goguryeo.

In fact, Xue Li and Cheng Mingzhen felt that something was wrong from the time they first entered the city, however, they did not receive the military order of Mingjin to withdraw their troops, so they had to chase and kill the defeated troops of Goguryeo all the way, and they did not know that they had won the plan until they saw the moment when Yuan Gai Suwen ordered the fire outside the southern city gate.

However, there were still tens of thousands of defeated Goguryeo soldiers in the city, and there were as many as hundreds of thousands of people.

"Look, general, there are people on the mountain wall outside the city, waving military flags."

"It's the flag, follow the direction he commands."

Xue Li is also a general at the level of a cavalry captain, and Cheng Mingzhen is a general who fought all the way in the pre-Sui period, and he is no stranger to the flag language, and he can understand it at a glance.

And on the cliff, waving the flag, it was Zou Guogong Zhang Gongjin, when the flames were ignited, he saw that most of the Tang troops in the city had not been damaged, and immediately thought of this method, he only hoped that the remaining places would not catch fire again, otherwise, more than 30,000 Tang troops would be burned to death, which would be the largest battle loss in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
