Outside the royal city of Goguryeo.

Yu Zhiqian sat in the middle of the Chinese army, and the army had been assembled and was ready to attack the city, but although Yu Zhiqian was not prepared for peace talks, he was not prepared to joke with the lives of the soldiers, but was ready to use some high-tech means.

"Emperor Tai, the hot air balloon troops are ready!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he nodded: "Let's take off!" ”

This is the first large-scale actual combat of the hot air balloon unit, so Yu Zhiqian personally came to observe, wanting to see how the effect is, at the same time, Li Jing and others are also waiting for the debut of the hot air balloon unit, the previous gunpowder made them very shocked, I don't know what will happen to the hot air balloon force this time.

Yu Zhiqian glanced up at the Goguryeo Royal City not far away, and snorted coldly: "Take off!" ”

"Whoa!"

Soon in the rear of the army, one after another hot air balloons unchained from the camp and flew towards the sky, today's weather is very suitable for hot air balloon flight, in less than five minutes, behind Yu Zhiqian's army, more than 100 hot air balloons were raised.

After these hot air balloons were lifted into the air, they adjusted their positions slightly and flew towards the royal city of Goguryeo.

Yu Zhiqian looked up at the hot air balloon troops in the air, and couldn't help but feel a shock, these hot air balloons flew from the air, and it really made people feel very shocked, and the originally clear sky behind him was densely packed with more than a hundred black dots.

As the hot air balloon flew higher and higher, the people in Goguryeo City also saw the hot air balloon in the sky, and all stopped their movements and looked at the hot air balloon.

"What's that?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a big bird!"

"Such a big bird?"

"I heard that the people of the Yutang Empire can summon immortals, these things can't be anything summoned by the Yutang Empire!"

"I don't know!"

“……”

The people in Goguryeo City talked a lot, and the defenders of Goguryeo Wangcheng saw it more clearly, and saw very clearly that these things were flying from behind the army of the Yutang Empire, and many soldiers were a little flustered.

"What's that?"

"You can fly with something!"

"Hex, hex!"

"The people of the Yutang Empire have called!"

The soldiers on the tower were very flustered, and the guards also looked at the hot air balloon in the sky in a daze, not knowing what it was, watching the hot air balloon fly closer and closer, and immediately took the longbow and aimed at the hot air balloon.

However, because the hot air balloon was already more than 200 meters, the bow and arrow shot upward, and it did not fly that far, and it died without a problem.

"Siege crossbows, set up siege crossbows, shoot this thing down!"

The guards yelled, and immediately some soldiers panicked to move the siege crossbows, the huge siege crossbows had a long range, but soon they found a problem, when they set up the siege crossbows, the hot air balloon was already above their heads.

The siege crossbow can be angled, but it cannot shoot 90 degrees vertically at the top of its head.

When the balloon entered the top of the defenders of the city wall, the soldiers in the balloon showed their heads with gunpowder canisters in their hands, lit them, and immediately threw them downward.

The old model of the bomber saw gunpowder canisters falling from the sky and falling above the city walls, some of which were offset and landed inside or outside the city.

When the defenders of Goguryeo looked up, they saw huge never-before-seen objects floating overhead in the sky, and countless small black dots falling from the sky.

"What's that?

"It looks like it fell from those monsters in the sky!"

"There seems to be someone on the monster!"

“……”

A group of soldiers kept screaming loudly, and the guards shouted for the soldiers to calm down and not to panic, but the effect was not great, and the human fear of the unknown was infinite, especially in this situation of being surrounded.

"Boom!"

A powder canister fell above the city wall and exploded quickly after hitting the ground, and the surrounding soldiers were affected by the explosion before they could react.

The explosion splattered the explosive oil in the gunpowder jar with sparks in all directions, and in an instant, many soldiers fell to the ground and kept wailing, some people were ignited, and they wanted to extinguish the fire in horror, but those who approached the past to put out the fire were ignited and continued to spread.

The most unfortunate were those who were directly killed by the gunpowder canister, the corpses continued to burn, the surroundings were chaotic, and the guards could not figure out what was going on, so they could only keep the soldiers calm.

But at this time, a gunpowder canister fell next to the guard, and the explosion flew all kinds of small fragments in the gunpowder jar around, and the guard instantly had more than a dozen blood holes on his body, and finally slowly fell to the ground.

The explosions were incessant, the defenders at the head of the city were in chaos, and after Li Jing saw the situation on the city wall, he drew his long sword and shouted: "Attack!" ”

Immediately, the army that had been prepared for a long time attacked the royal capital of Goguryeo.

At the front was a row of shield soldiers, holding large shields forward, followed by soldiers carrying engineering ladders, but now the defenders of Goguryeo had no time to estimate the soldiers of the Yutang Empire who rushed over outside the city.

Some of the soldiers were seriously injured by the gunpowder canisters and were screaming on the ground, some of the soldiers were so frightened that they squatted on the ground and prayed to God, and some soldiers were treating the wounded, and a few found that the Yutang Empire had begun to attack the city, but there was nothing to stop it.

The defenders were killed, and the remaining soldiers were leaderless, and the besieging soldiers easily set up the ladder outside the Goguryeo city walls.

Compared with the traditional siege ladder, this siege ladder has been slightly improved, after several ladders are close, they are bundled together to become stronger, and they are pushed down more easily.

Some of the Goguryeo soldiers on the tower were resisting, but there were not many of them, and more soldiers began to run towards the bottom of the tower after seeing the soldiers of the Yutang Empire rushing up.

However, at this time, in the palace of Goguryeo Wangcheng, Gao Chengyang finally packed his luggage and prepared to flee for his life, many troops had been assembled, Gao Chengyang looked at the palace, sighed, got into the carriage, and prepared to leave.

At this time, many attendants saw black dots appear in the sky from the west, and they couldn't help but look at them curiously.

"What do you see in the sky?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a flock of birds!"

"Are birds that big?"

"Look, there's something strange!"

“……”

The voice of this group of chamberlains was not small, and after Gao Chengyang heard it, he frowned and pulled up the curtain and looked outside: "What happened?" ”

"Your Majesty, some strange birds have appeared in the sky, very large, and are flying towards the city!"

After Gao Chengyang heard this, he frowned, looked into the air, and indeed found that there were small black dots in the air flying towards the city, and said coldly: "Don't make a noise!" ”

"Yes!"

The convoy rushed towards the outside of the palace, and at this time, Gao Chengyang's movements were also clearly seen, in addition to throwing explosive canisters, the hot air balloon was more important to observe the movement of the enemy.

At this time, a soldier on the hot air balloon held a telescope and constantly observed the movement of the entire Goguryeo royal city, and immediately said it when he found the problem, and there were soldiers next to him who immediately recorded it, and not far from his feet, there was a basket of carrier pigeons, which delivered news at any time.

At this time, the soldiers who were observing suddenly noticed the changes in the Goguryeo royal palace, and an army was rushing towards the east gate.

Then the recorder tied the written information to the pigeon's leg, and with a strong lift, the pigeon flapped its wings twice and flew towards the position of the Chinese army.

In front of the city gate, the siege has entered a white-hot state, and the soldiers of the Yutang Empire have climbed above the walls of Goguryeo, and have not encountered any organized resistance, and there are only a few Goguryeo soldiers who are still fighting.

The leaderless soldiers of the dragon could not stop the soldiers of the Yutang Empire at all, Cheng Biting Jin, Su Di, Li Sheng and others had already climbed the city tower and began to kill in all directions, and killed towards the position below the city tower, preparing to open the city gate to welcome the army into the city.

At this time, a carrier pigeon flew over, and the carrier pigeon that landed next to Yu Zhiqian's car was gently grabbed by Chen Qingzhi, and then Shen Wansan took out some food and put it in the palm of his hand, the carrier pigeon kept eating, and Chen Qingzhi took down the letter tied on the carrier pigeon and handed it to Yu Zhiqian.

These carrier pigeons are cultivated by Yu Zhiqian, and they can be regarded as an innovative invention, before that, the military intelligence transmission relied on human transmission, and after having a carrier pigeon, the speed was much faster, but the carrier pigeon also had a certain risk in transmitting information, and if it encountered a natural enemy or a hunter during the flight, it might be a life.

Now carrier pigeons are still a means of auxiliary transmission of messages, and when the number of them is larger in the future, Yu Zhiqian will establish a complete training, and there may be a period of time to rely on carrier pigeons to transmit messages, of course, it will be better if he can make a radio, but Yu Zhiqian only knows one thing, the radio must have electricity first, and now it relies on magnetic poles and electric circles to generate electricity, and the effect is very weak, and if you want to develop a generator, you can still have a long way to go.

Yu Zhiqian glanced at the news above, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, it seemed that Gao Chengyang was going to run, thought about it, and looked at Shen Wansan: "Send this news to Li Jing, watch him arrange it, this Goryeo royal city is broken!" ”

As Yu Zhiqian's words fell, the gate of the Goguryeo royal city suddenly opened, and the soldiers who were rushing towards the gate of the Goguryeo city saw the gate of the Goguryeo royal city collapse, their eyes lit up, and they immediately rushed towards the city gate.

The city gate was broken, the royal city of Goguryeo had fallen, and the words left by Yu Zhiqian before that he could slaughter the city made the soldiers very excited.

The soldiers were all restrained by strict military orders before, and now they can finally let go of the demons in their hearts, and Yu Zhiqian does not regret his decision, after all, Goguryeo is a foreign race.

Li Jing was directing the battle here, and when he saw the note sent by Yu Zhiqian, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately understood what the king of Goguryeo was going to do.

"To the east of the city, the troops of Silla and Baekje are stationed, and it seems that Gao Sungyang wants to flee for his life!"

After Li Jing thought of this, he immediately asked Niu Jinda to lead an army of 30,000 to support the past, the battle at the West Gate had ended, and the battle had lost its suspense the moment the city gate was opened, and there was no possibility of a turnaround on the Goguryeo side.

Soon after Niu Jinda received the order, he hurried towards the east gate.

At the same time, the east gate of the Goguryeo royal city suddenly opened, and several Goguryeo generals rushed out of the city first, and the army of Silla Baekje outside the city did not expect that Goguryeo would actually take the initiative to attack, and they were a little panicked.

Strictly speaking, Goguryeo's combat effectiveness is not low, if this battle is fought in the traditional way, the Yutang Empire may have to pay a heavy price, not to mention the two countries of Silla and Baekje, these two countries have been pressed to the ground by Goguryeo for many years and rubbed back and forth, and they are not Goguryeo's opponents at all.

Not to mention that they are now facing the elite troops of Goguryeo.

I saw several Goguryeo generals leading 3,000 cavalry to rush towards the Silla army, and the Silla generals were very flustered, but he knew that Goguryeo at this time wanted to open a breakthrough from himself, and as long as he persisted, Goguryeo might be finished.

"Don't mess up, Goguryeo is going to end, the army of the Yutang Empire has broken their royal city, they are dogs jumping over the wall in a hurry, resisting, resisting, killing a Goguryeo soldier and rewarding 100 gold!"

General Silla shouted loudly, there must be brave men under the reward, and after hearing the reward, the originally precarious Silla army slowly stabilized, but only for a while.

When the rest of Goguryeo's army rushed out of the city, Silla's army immediately became precarious again.

The Silla army was defeated and retreated by the Goguryeo army, but at this time, the Baekje army on the side did not make any move, and quietly watched the Goguryeo army break through the Silla army formation.

Although the two countries of Silla and Baekje are now working together, the two countries are also feuding, and there are conflicts basically every year, even with the powerful enemy of Goguryeo watching, there is constant friction between them.

It is possible to cooperate now, but after the fall of Goguryeo, both Silla and Baekje feel that they will be the largest country in this region, and the two will still be hostile at that time, so watching the Silla army being attacked, the Baekje army will stand by and watch from the sidelines, not caring about the Silla people at all, anyway, it is the Silla people who die, what does it have to do with my Baekje people?

However, the Baekje people were not happy for long, because the Baekje army was also blocking the road, and part of Goguryeo's troops also rushed towards the Baekje people, but the number was much smaller than that of Silla, and the Baekje people were still able to stop it.

At the gate of the city, Gao Chengyang's car has been qualified, and the Silla generals saw Gao Chengyang's car and their eyes lit up, if they could capture Gao Chengyang alive, it would be a great achievement, but they were a little powerless.

The Baekje people also discovered Gao Sungyang's chariot, compared to the Silla people who were powerless, the Baekje people would directly start to act, they only needed to face a part of the Goguryeo soldiers, the pressure was not great, and they immediately divided some troops and rushed towards the Goguryeo city gate.

But at this time, the Goguryeo cavalry, which had previously carved through the Silla army, appeared again and went straight to the Baekje army.
