…

The golden crow goes down in the west, and the moon rabbit rises in the east.

The Liangshan army is ready.

In the second half of the Goryeo campaign, Li Yan commanded dozens of siege battles, so he was already familiar with the siege.

Therefore, Li Yan said to Le He very simply: "Order, let Yang Lin start attacking." ”

Le He listened to the words and immediately sent the flag to the letter artillery.

When the letter artillery saw it, they lit the letter cannon.

"Bang!"

After a letter cannon, the 2,500 infantry army led by Yang Lin immediately began to attack the city.

Although the people were not there, Li Yan could also think of the siege situation over there.

Unlike Song Jiang and their rabble, today's Liangshan army is a regular army, so it has all siege equipment.

The Liangshan Army can be said to have everything in siege equipment and siege tools such as unconscionable cannons, stone-throwing carts, bed crossbows, wheels, ladders, ladders, ladders, and wooden curtains.

Suppress the defenders on the city wall with unconscionable cannons, stone-throwing carts, bed crossbows, and divine arm crossbows, and then use wooden curtain carts, chariots, wooden curtains, and large shields to block the defenders' arrows and rush forward.

With the number of bows and crossbows mastered by this small city, the Liangshan army should be able to easily break through to the city, and then attack the city with ladder carts and ladders, and then there will be a tragic siege battle.

In fact, it's similar to what Li Yan thought.

On Yang Lin's side, it only cost less than ten casualties to attack the city, and then the Liangshan infantry army began to attack the city without fear of death.

Some people may ask, isn't this a feint, why are Yang Lin and them so desperate?

That's right.

It's a feint.

You can't fool around just because it's a feint.

You know, the officers and soldiers defending the city are not stupid, they can't find out, there is still a group of men and horses in the west, how can they not defend the west?

Therefore, the feint attack must be realistic, so that the people from the west can come to Yang Lin's side.

In that way, the west can successfully break through Gaotang City.

In fact, Yang Lin didn't tell his subordinates at all that their side was a feint.

First of all, there is secrecy, and when it comes to military deployments, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Secondly, it is to make the infantry led by Yang Lin perform more realistically.

Some people may say, is this a little too dismissive of the lives of soldiers?

Compassion does not lead soldiers, and righteousness does not raise wealth.

For generals, the greatest mercy is victory, and greater mercy is victory with fewer casualties.

If you can't tolerate even this level, then don't be a general, you will definitely harm others and yourself.

Yang Lin shouted to kill the sky, Li Yan didn't move, and he didn't give a second order, until there was a cheer from the Liangshan army over there, and then there was a letter cannon, Li Yan knew that there must be a Liangshan army soldiers rushing to the city, so he ordered: "Start attacking." ”

Lehe listened to the order, and immediately issued orders one after another.

Soon, five hundred sailors in shorts appeared, each armed with a bridge four or five feet long and four or five feet wide wrapped in yellow cowhide.

As soon as they appeared, these sailors rushed towards the moat with their respective bridges as shields.

Seeing this, the defenders on the city wall stopped them with their bows and crossbows, but without exception they were all blocked by the bridges in their hands.

Soon, the sailors rushed to the moat and went into the water in an orderly manner.

It didn't take long for Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others to see a magical scene!

In a very short time, those bridges turned into three sturdy long bridges of a width of several feet.

At this time, the Sandu Heavy Armored Infantry Army, who had already been prepared, quickly rushed from the flying bridge to the opposite side with a large shield and a five-inch square steel box.

The heavy infantry plus the big shield is unbreakable unless the conscience cannon, the bed crossbow, and the trebuchet are unbreakable, even if the divine arm crossbow is beyond ten zhang, it can't hurt them, and as for less than ten zhang, it has to be the destiny of each peace.

After killing and wounding more than two dozen people, most of the three heavily armored infantry troops rushed to the opposite bank.

After that, they fixed the five-inch square steel box in their hands to the city wall very regularly.

It turned out that this five-inch square steel box was also developed by Liu Huiniang, of course, Li Yan also helped a lot in the process, and put forward a lot of novel ideas for Liu Huiniang, and Liu Huiniang named it "steel wheel fire cabinet".

The approximate method is actually to use a five-inch square steel box, spread gunpowder underneath, with a shaft on it, and a round of eight teeth on the shaft, each tooth contains a sharp agate stone, and there is a steel bar next to it, approaching the agate sharp edge.

At one end of the other shaft there is a coiled cord, connected with a large legal wheel, and at the other end there is a small slapstick to hold it, and there is a wheel next to it, similar to a striking clock.

When he walked to the intersection, he took off the, and the law wheel pulled the coiled rope, and the axle wheel was whirled, and the agate sharp edge hit the steel bar, and the sparks burst out, and the gunpowder ignited.

It looks so powerful, and the principle seems to be the way, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a time bomb for future generations.

After the hoplites installed the wheel fire cabinet, they immediately fell back from the flybridge.

Not long after, there was a "boom", and a loud bang that Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others had never heard when they beat them out of their mother's womb suddenly sounded!

"Boom!"

Look at the wall again, it collapsed!

As for the officers and soldiers on the city wall, they don't know where they have gone!

The fortified city, which Song Jiang and others had failed to break through in more than a hundred days, opened its door to the Liangshan army in an instant!

Song Jiang, Wu Yong and other people from Erlongshan, including Chao Gai and Bai Sheng, were all dumbfounded!

"What kind of divine law is this?"

"Could it be that Li Yan is an immortal? Otherwise, how could he be so powerful? ”

"With the Divine Law of the Earth, what other city in the world can resist Li Yan?"

“……”

No one paid attention to what Song Jiang and the others thought, Ruan Xiaoqi, Wang Dingliu, and Ma Ling each led 500 horse troops into the city at the first time, and then Wu Song also led 2,500 infantry troops into the city.

Seeing that the Liangshan army had already attacked from the west, the defenders on Yang Lin's side immediately collapsed, and Yang Lin then personally led the Liangshan infantry army on his side to attack the city wall, and then opened the city gate, and all the Liangshan troops entered the city.

Next, there is not much to say.

Yang Lin was lucky and was caught by him.

Seeing that Gao Lian was captured, the officers and soldiers defending the city had no fighting spirit and surrendered en masse.

Gaotang City is broken.

After Wu Song and others had almost cleaned up the rebels in Gaotang City, Li Yan entered the city with a thousand horse troops.

first passed down the general order, not to harm the people, and at the same time to set an example for the people, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and then Li Yan went straight to the prison.

It didn't take much effort for Li Yan to find Chai Jin's family and Chai Huang's family, but he couldn't find Chai Jin.

Later, when Lin Ren, a prisoner, took the initiative to find Li Yan and said: "Yesterday, the siege of the city was tight, and the city was almost broken, and the Kochi Mansion was annoyed and angry, and let the villain go to the Chai Daguan on the road, and the villain saw that the Chai Daguan was a good man, so he untied his shackles and asked him to take refuge in the dry well in the backyard, and then lied to the Kochi Mansion that he had sent him on the road, but now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." ”
