A pillar of red smoke appeared in the sky, and looking at it from the Gaochang Royal City, it seemed to fly out of the morning sun, so many pedestrians who didn't know what was going on even thought it was a miracle, and immediately knelt on the ground and muttered something in the Western Regions.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers who had been waiting for a long time also saw this pillar of smoke, and unlike the pedestrians in the Gaochang King City, they immediately drew out their horizontal knives, and those carrying the siege ladder immediately raised the ladder and waited......

peng！

The cloud-piercing arrow in the sky burned out of the booster when it flew above the Gaochang Palace, and the black powder in the arrow at the front was ignited, making an explosion sound!

"Kill!" The captain of the pioneer battalion pointed his spear forward and let out a roar like tearing soundtracks!

Regardless of the pain in his throat, the lieutenant immediately began to charge! The Pioneer Battalion certainly had the highest casualty rate in the entire army, but the credit was twice as high, or even several times as high as that of the others!

"Kill! ……”

"Kill! ……”

The entire pioneer battalion roared in unison, and when the voices of the whole five thousand people were mixed together, the sound of "killing" became "ah" instead!

The Gaochang soldiers defending the city had not completely opened the city gate, and when they saw the rising sun in the direction of the rising sun, the troops shouting "kill" appeared, their hearts and galls were broken, and their adrenaline was rushing, so they hurriedly closed the city gate, and a few of them who were a little timid could not even care about the city gate, and ran back to the city to report the news.

As the Gaochang Royal City, there must be a garrison here, and there are quite a few of them, if the Dragon Tooth Army is there, Li Jing will definitely try the method of secretly crossing the city wall and directly switching it as Leng Feng said, but the Dragon Tooth Army is not there!

Although the Dragonscale Army is also elite and equipped with gunpowder weapons, they have not been trained by Leng Feng after all.........

Whether it is the Central Plains army or the Western Regions army, the common ordnance is bows and arrows, so when the pioneer camp was just halfway through, countless arrows flew out of the city wall, overwhelmingly flooding the vanguard camp!

But they were doomed to disappointment......... The equipment of the pioneer battalion is the top armor in the entire army, and countless arrows drowned over, but only injured some of the Tang soldiers.

Before the second wave of arrows fell, the pioneer battalion was already erecting ladders and carrying battering rams to hit the city gates.

The walls of the Gaochang King City were only eight or nine meters high, so the ladder was successfully built on the city wall.

A Gaochang soldier defending the city immediately took a thick wooden stick to top the cloud ladder and tried to push the cloud ladder down, but he didn't know that the reason why the Tang army did not fight and directly set up a cloud ladder to enter the city was because of .........

"Fuse in two, target above the enemy army, ready!"

The dragon scale army led by Li Xiaogong followed closely and did not stop until it reached eighty meters outside the city wall, a distance that would not be threatened by enemy arrows and would not be unable to shoot on the city wall.

The treatment of the Dragon Scale Army is not inferior to that of the Dragon Tooth Army, and they are all practicing with real thunder arrows, so as soon as Li Xiaogong gave the order, there was a uniform sound of opening the arrow box, taking arrows, and cutting the fuse.

Li Xiaogong himself also got his hands on it, and after lighting the fuse, Li Xiaogong shouted loudly: "Release!" ”

So, a whole 1,201 thunderbolts flew to the city wall!

Why did Li Xiaogong stipulate that the fuse was divided into two parts, and why was it aimed at the top of the city wall? The reason is that he gave up the shockwave damage of the Thunderbolt and used the fragment damage to the extreme!

peng！ peng！ ………

It is also a fuse bisect, but the sound of the explosion of the thunder arrow is not neat, one is that the soldier shoots the arrow neatly, and the other is that the thunder arrow is a handicraft after all.

Just one round of salvo shots, there were countless screams on the Gaochang King City, and the effect of this round of salvo definitely exceeded that of ordinary arrows.

The pioneer battalion was waiting for this opportunity, and the Tang soldiers holding the ladder at the bottom immediately began to climb, and the opportunity was fleeting!

Li Jing saw that the pioneer battalion had begun to climb the cloud ladder in the rear, and immediately pulled out the purple cloud-piercing arrow, ignited it, and shot it out!

The attack of the Pioneer Battalion Dragon Scale Army is so fierce, does it mean that they are the main force? Of course it is, but Li Jing didn't expect the pioneer battalion to break through the city pass, he pressed the other three roads!

The battle situation on the side of the pioneer battalion dragon scale army is stalemate, and the other three defenders will definitely support, at this time, it is the best opportunity to attack!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The moment the cloud-piercing arrows of purple smoke appeared, the siege troops of the other three roads let out a roar in unison!

Attack in all directions! Li Jing didn't believe that under the attack of all directions, Gaochang Wangcheng could still stand!

In siege warfare, the besieging side is always in a disadvantageous position, and when the defenders of Gaochang Wangcheng, whose faces were covered with blood, began to throw stones under the city, the Tang army inevitably suffered casualties.

After all, the helmet can block arrows, but it can't resist the huge force of stones.

"Second round! Put! ”

Li Xiaogong saw that the Tang soldiers who did not climb the city wall led the dragon scale army to shoot the second wave of thunder arrows!

peng！ peng！ ………

After another volley, Li Xiaogong saw that the battering ram could not open the city gate, so he pointed at the city wall with his bow and said, "Free diffuse!" If you shoot all the thunderbolts, go to the bottom of the ladder! With such a high city wall, the girls can also throw thunder on it! Divide some of the people and pile up the thunder at the city gates, and see if you can blow them open! ”

Li Jing didn't have a telescope, but he could estimate how the battle had developed, and pinched the green cloud-piercing arrow in his hand, Li Jing didn't want to shoot it out.

But Murphy's Law is so annoying, the more Li Jing doesn't want to shoot this arrow, the faster things will come!

A horse broke into the camp with flying dust, and the horsemen on the horse shouted before the horse stopped: "20,000 reinforcements from the Western Turks have come!" ”

With a kick that shattered the stool, Li Jing lit the cloud-piercing arrow in his hand that was already covered with sweat and shot it out!

"Green smoke! Marshal! It's green smoke! ”

A sharp-eyed dragon scale soldier saw the pillar of smoke in the sky and immediately reported it to Li Xiaogong.

"Spit!" Li Xiaogong spat fiercely: "I don't know if it's the Gaochang border army or the Western Turkic reinforcements that have arrived!" Retreat ........."

"Change the big guy!"

What big guys? Ground-level thunder!

A trebuchet is necessary for the use of ground-level thunder, and it is necessary to cross the desert during the march, Li Jing would rather walk slowly, but also arrange a carriage to carry the dismantled trebuchet, and now, it comes in handy!

"Bell, bell, bell!"

Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and the siege troops on the four roads retreated one after another, which was not a defeated retreat, so the retreating soldiers even had time to carry back the corpses of their companions.

This is Li Xiaogong's order, under the earth-level thunder explosion, everything will be dust, he doesn't want the Tang soldiers to be affected, even if they have died in battle!
