The sky was twilight, and 80,000 elite Sui troops were arrayed on the river beach, waving flags, and the iron armor was strong, and the sound was mighty.

After making proper preparations, Luo Zhaoyun personally supervised the battle, and wanted to attack the earthen fort on the other side of the Liaoshui River, and carry out the landing battle of crossing the river and grabbing the beach.

At this moment, tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of warships crossed the river, and several pontoon bridges were already lying across the river, but they were halfway through, and further on, it was the range of the archers of the Goguryeo army, which was difficult to pave for the time being.

Luo Zhaoyun stood on the high platform by the Liaoshui River, looking at the boats, warships and rafts on the river, different sizes and uneven, this is a few months, he sent craftsmen to build a ship secretly, the deck is full of armored people, the sword halberd spear is cold under the moonlight, and the hideous ghost-faced fangs on the oar and shield are baring.

Dozens of ships, hundreds of rafts and boats are full of 20,000 or 30,000 elites, this is Luo Zhaoyun selected tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the 200,000 army, many of them are border soldiers, or proficient in water, so as not to fall into the water and drown on the way.

The leader in charge of leading the army was General Mai Tiecan, and the adjutant generals were Qian Shixiong and Meng Cha, who were responsible for commanding the first wave of 30,000 elites to land on the river beach.

Equipped with excellent armor and weapons and other equipment, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

In addition, there is also a group of soldiers who have been in the Turkic battlefield, followed Luo Zhaoyun to resist the Turkic Khan's army, and constantly resisted the grassland Rongdi in the frontier, which is far from being comparable to the newly recruited soldiers, so this time he was entrusted with a heavy task by Luo Zhaoyun.

Luo Zhaoyun raised his head and said: "Soldiers, the country of Goguryeo projectiles, but repeatedly offended my Great Sui Tianwei, harassed the border, eyeing the Central Plains, the last crusade against Liaodong, heavy casualties, how many Central Plains men, died in a foreign land, buried bones here, we have to avenge those dead soldiers, as long as we conquer Goguryeo, the Great Sui will be peaceful from now on, we will no longer have to go on the expedition, we can go back to unload the armor and return to the field, and enjoy the prosperous times."

He was comforting the soldiers and outlining a peaceful and prosperous era for them, and his heart was not tired of war, but to win as soon as possible and return to his hometown alive.

The generals applauded, full of killing and brave spirit.

"Generals, please board the ship!"

"Beat the drums, board the ship!"

The soldiers on both sides shouted a low trumpet, rowed the oars in unison, and the river made a "splash" sound, and the ships and warships crossed the Liaoshui and attacked the opposite bank.

The commander of the second army, Xue Shixiong, was responsible for commanding the next round of attacks, in addition to him, there were also his three sons who came by his side, serving under him, namely Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche.

When the battleship had crossed half of the river and approached the attack range, the sound of the horn sounded, and then the drummers, the gold-ringers, and the flag-bearers all signaled the attack on the battleship.

"Knock knock...... Goo Goo ......"

"Ballista array cover, ready to land!" McIron rod drank heavily.

"No!" The generals and lieutenants and lieutenants of all sizes and other large and small official positions, as well as the roars of the non-commissioned officers, showed high morale and enthusiastic morale.

"Ballista ready, shoot!" A lieutenant stood beside a row of ballistas, holding a command flag and waving it violently, a large ship came over, a row of crossbow cars were placed on the deck, and the large crossbow machines stored in the river bank shot out violently at the earthen fort defense line on the riverbank, a ballista can shoot twelve iron arrows at a time, and fifty cars are six hundred powerful iron crossbow arrows, a brain poured out, the sound of breaking the air shattered the air, and the sound of Zheng Zheng humming was endless, but listening to the sound of this strong wind, you can also imagine the domineering and terrifying of this crossbow arrow.

I saw six hundred iron-rod crossbow arrows like meteors across the night sky, shooting with a sneering wind, and the next moment, a miserable scream sounded, but I saw that after many soldiers at the head of the earth fort were shot, their whole bodies were pierced by arrows and flew out, flying out from the battlements behind them, and fell to the root of the wall in the city, and the flesh and blood were blurred; There were also some soldiers who were directly penetrated, and the strength of the arrows was not exhausted, and the soldiers behind them were also shot to death, so frightened that the Goguryeo defenders on the city wall hurriedly hid behind the brick stacks to dodge such a powerful crossbow and iron arrows.

The ship, which was the first to arrive, pushed open the plywood and the inner compartment, and from inside jumped many shield-bearers, blocking the archers on the riverbank.

"Whoosh!"

The archers of the Goguryeo army on the river bank were also shooting frantically, but they were suppressed by the powerful crossbows, and once they stood up and shot arrows, they were easy to be pierced, and the casualties were great.

The Sui army came prepared this time, and did not attack indiscriminately, but organized and rhythmically cooperated, with shield hands as cover, divided into small phalanxes, and moved forward slowly, encountering thistles, barbs, traps, etc., on the way, someone would be responsible for cleaning up.

"Trebuchet, get ready to shoot!" Meng Cha shouted loudly on another five-tooth battleship.

A lieutenant immediately waved the order flag, hundreds of big men roared in unison, dragged hard, through the principle of leverage, the urn jar was thrown out instantly, the force was very fierce, a parabola was crossed in the air, and suddenly fell to the head of the city, in the case of the defenders did not know why, boom boom a few explosions, dozens of urn jars suddenly exploded, bursting urn pieces flew everywhere, the surrounding soldiers were suddenly injured by the urn pieces, screaming again and again.

This is not black powder, but some flammable materials mixed with fish oil and resin, put in a ceramic tube, put some iron sheets, iron beads, once ignited and thrown, after the explosion, there is also a lot of lethality.

The general of the defenders in charge of the earthen fort, named Che Yuan, had participated in the last battle to defend the river beach, when he was a lieutenant, and he was promoted in that battle.

But today he felt helpless, because this time the Sui army was more courageous than the last time, and the weapons were more advanced.

When the Sui army landed one after another, the two sides fell into a fierce battle, which was also the most fierce moment of confrontation. (To be continued.) )
