Many of the clay pots filled with gasoline were smashed at the top of the corridor, and many soldiers were drenched with gasoline.

A Gaochang officer saw the liquid flowing under his feet, reached out and touched it with some curiosity, and sniffed it in front of his nose. Like a lot of people, he kind of likes the smell of gasoline.

At this moment, with a "boom", a flame ignited on the castle tower, and the rocket spread rapidly, and soon a skyrocketing fire ignited.

The shoes on the high-ranking officer's feet and his hands were also on fire, and he screamed in pain and ran out. The gasoline-stained soldiers under the corridor turned into burning men one by one, screaming and struggling in the fire, like rolling fireballs. The long corridor on the city wall turned into a fire dragon, whirring in the wind.

Lu Zhisheng was frightened, and stayed there for a while, at a loss. When he reacted, he shouted, "Hurry up and put out the fire!" ”

When this promenade was built, the Gaochang people also took fire prevention measures and put some buckets under the promenade. The fierce burning and scorching waves of air made it difficult to approach. However, there are always brave soldiers. He grabbed the bucket and rushed forward, pouring it on the fire.

Unexpectedly, instead of extinguishing the fire, the water that escaped caused the flames to splash and burn even more vigorously.

The people of Gaochang didn't know what to do, so they could only dodge the flames from a distance, and watched as the fire burned the corridor clean.

In order to let everyone watch the effect of the fierce fire oil, Li You, Hou Junji and others went up to a wooden tower. Hou Junji, Gao Yong and the others were dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of oil it was, burning so violently.

In order to prevent Murong Ling and Ash Naqing from seeing the tragic situation of those burning people, Li Li You specially informed them not to let them come to watch. Unexpectedly, he ignored the woman's curiosity, and the two of them ran to another wooden tower and saw this tragic scene. The two beauties couldn't help but lose their faces, covering their faces and not daring to look at it again.

After more than an hour, the fire on the city walls was completely extinguished. The walls were empty, and there was not a single figure moving except for the charred corpses of the soldiers.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city gate came to report to Lu Zhisheng that several huge monsters had been found outside the city.

Koji Zhisheng ran to the crack in the door and looked out. Sure enough, just as the fire was burning, several tall and moving buildings appeared outside the city. Although Lu Zhisheng hadn't seen it, he guessed that it was a siege vehicle outside.

Yes, what came out was the black technology that attacked cities in the European Middle Ages - the giant siege engine.

This siege vehicle is a super-large and super-powerful giant chariot that integrates the lower siege cone, the middle siege tower, the upper springboard and the arrow tower, which is indestructible.

The attacking soldiers first pushed the cart to the bottom of the city, or hit the city gate or climbed the siege tower, and under the attack of the soldiers of the arrow tower, they attacked the city through the gangplank connected to the city wall. There is a sharp door-breaking device in front of it, and the city gate is stormed. There are also hanging ladders on the top floor, which can cross the moat and send soldiers directly to the city walls.

Seeing this situation, Lu Zhisheng was anxious. He was worried that the Tang army would take the opportunity to attack the city, so he urged the soldiers to go to the city to defend. The soldiers were already frightened, and no matter how urged by the officers, they hid far from the wall, and none of them wanted to climb the wall.

Lu Zhisheng knew that this city could not be defended, and he wanted to go back to discuss countermeasures with his father Lu Wentai.

At this time, the sound of the radio came from the enemy's wooden tower, and someone shouted: "Listen to the people in the city, His Royal Highness King Qi, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, has something to say." ”

This person was afraid that others would not hear him, so he broadcast it three times in a row.

Lu Zhisheng hid under the city wall, and also wanted to hear what the Tang prince had to say.

Soon, a young man's loud voice was heard.

Li You said: "Lu Wentai, Lu Zhisheng, I know that you are nearby and can hear me. You have also seen the power of the Tang army, as long as we want, we can immediately set fire to your entire city. It's going to be easy for us to take this city.

The reason why there was no siege was because they did not want to cause more killings. Now, I will give you one last chance to surrender within half an hour. I guarantee the safety of your lives and property.

Remember, this is the last chance. Otherwise, I will hold you father and son accountable.

Officers and soldiers defending the city, you also listen, if Lu Wentai and Lu Zhisheng do not surrender, then you will also die in vain in battle. I tell you one thing: Lu Zhiyong resisted the siege of our army and was killed by the people of the city, and our army spared the people of the city.

I suggest that you follow their example and persuade Lu Wentai and Lu Zhisheng father and son to surrender, and not to take their own lives in vain. ”

Regarding Li You's naked threats and provocations in person, Hou Junji and others listened to it straightforwardly.

Lu Zhisheng felt a chill when he heard this, and he looked around, feeling that there was something wrong with the eyes of those soldiers.

At this time, Li You continued: "Lu Wentai, Lu Zhisheng, and the officials and people in the city, please remember that there is only half an hour left. Now, start the countdown. ”

At this time, Lu Zhisheng no longer had the confidence to defend the city, and he also felt that if he continued to defend it, he would end up being killed by those rebellious people like his younger brother Lu Zhiyong. He no longer hesitated, and hurriedly went to his father, Lu Wentai, to discuss.

At this moment, a minister ran over in a panic, and when he saw Lu Zhisheng, he knelt on the ground, crying and said, "Your Highness, it's not good, Your Majesty has ascended to heaven." ”

As in history, Lu Wentai, who originally had a heart attack, was scared to death by the Tang Army.

At this time, the ministers came together and persuaded Koji Zhisheng to ask Kaesong to surrender. As a result, Koji Zhisheng also surrendered in Kaesong, as in history.

It is not a difficult task to lay down Gaochang, and the next problem is the key problem to be solved.

After the celebration banquet, Li You lay alone on the bed, thinking about what to do next.

After defeating Gaochang, Li You has completed the combat mission assigned by the imperial court, and his return to Chang'an now is also a good and almost perfect ending. However, he didn't want to just return to Chang'an, and it was really boring to see the three brothers intrigue all day long.

However, he was worried about Li Chengqian, although the queen did not die at this time, and his leg was not broken, but Li Chengqian's intelligence and personality could not allow him to withstand the pressure from him and Li Ke, so as not to embark on the decadent old road on the road, Li You was very unsure.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to stay in the Western Regions first, send Baihu back to report the victory, listen to Li Shimin's instructions for the next step, and learn about the dynamics of the imperial court by the way.

Chang'an City, Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has sent a messenger." Fang Xuanling came out and said. 8)
