Chapter 352: Fire Attack Pyongyang

"Father, let's go back to the city! The other party seems to be a master, he has such a sharp weapon, we have no advantage in fighting them. Yuangai Suwen said solemnly, if the other party did not fight and shot with a repeater from a distance, then they would break all the way away.

"Withdraw!" Yuan Taizuo had a gloomy face, and said decisively, the strength of the opponent exceeded his expectations, and it also made his full confidence drop by half at once.

By the time they returned to Pyongyang City, Cai Cong's army was already in sight, with a large Cai Zi flag waving in the wind, and the military camp covering a huge area.

Yuan Taizuo's hand was pinched on the city wall, pinched white, his life was full of ups and downs, but he had never seen the enemy like today, and he broke two thousand people, which was a great shame.

"Have you found out who is leading the way?"

"Back to Lu, the general surnamed Cai in the Tang Dynasty has only a young man named Cai Cong, and I heard that he captured the Turkic Jieli last year."

"Is that him? The God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty. Didn't he have a caravan in our city of Pyongyang? ”

"Back to Da Xianglu, the Cai family's caravan had all withdrawn half a month ago, and they knew that Datang was going to attack us, so they all ran away." The general said angrily, he had already noticed that something was wrong, why did he go out of the city in the ice and snow?

"Yes, that's good! Arrest all the Tang people in the city, and we will kill two thousand of our sons, and we will kill two thousand of them. ”

Yuan Taizuo said coldly, his subordinates looked at him in embarrassment, and finally said in fear: "Back to Da Xianglu, the Tang people in the city have long been sent back to the Tang Dynasty by the king, and now there are no Tang people in Pyongyang." ”

Yuan Taizuo reflexively slapped the general in a circle, Yuan Gai Suwen supported him, smiled at him gently, and shook his shoulder hard, and the general looked at him gratefully.

"Father, don't be angry with them, now that 2,000 people have died without fighting, how can you explain to the king and the ministers."

"Confess? Explain what! There will always be deaths in war, and if we die unexpectedly, we will avenge them, and we don't need to explain to anyone. ”

Yuan Taizuo said domineeringly, he only needs to be responsible for himself, just explain to himself.

"Hey, the people on the city wall listen, this official is the guerrilla general Fang Niu from the Marquis of Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, and the Marquis of Chang'an came to retrieve the remains of the former Sui soldiers by the will of the Holy Lord, why did you attack us? Aren't you afraid of the divine might of the heavenly soldiers and gods of the heavenly empire? ”

"Hahaha...... If the bullshit Celestial Empire is really unpredictable, how can you leave so many corpses in my Pyongyang? Yuan Taizuo laughed proudly, and looked at the Jingguan outside the city wall, which he proposed to build, boasting of his merits in resisting strong enemies.

"Hmph, are you reluctant to return the remains?" Fang Niu asked loudly. Yuan Taizuo took the bow and arrow, pulled the circle, and shot the helmet of the cow with a whoosh.

"That's how the University answered Lu."

Yuan Taizuo said proudly, Fang Niu fled in a hurry, his heart was infinitely angry, since he killed the behemoth Jieli, no one dared to treat Datang with this attitude.

"Master Hou, your subordinates have embarrassed you. Goguryeo was reluctant to return the bones, so shooting down their subordinates' helmets was their answer. ”

"It's useless!"

Cai Cong said with infinite emotion, Fang Niu's face changed slightly, he pulled out the dagger on his waist and was about to insert it into his heart, Cai Cong kicked the dagger and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's useless to be a subordinate, it's a shame for you."

"Shut up! Are you useless? It's useless to have a king of Goguryeo, the king of a country, the military power is actually all in the hands of a courtier, for so long, my ears are all big and right, this Goguryeo is afraid that there is no king, right? ”

Cai Cong said disdainfully, he knew that Goguryeo's power was falling, but he didn't expect it to be exaggerated to such an extent.

"Order, the eight ox crossbow is loaded with fire oil, the sword and shield hand covers, and advances to the city to shoot a round."

The flesh and blood of the war has always been resisted by Cai Cong, and the siege war is even more bloody and blurred, and it is impossible for Cai Cong to fill an indifferent city with his own home.

The Eight Bull Crossbow is a terrifying weapon that can be nailed to the city wall when fired from a distance, and can be used as a prop for soldiers to climb.

Cai Cong wouldn't use it like this, and when the eight-ox crossbow shot the fire oil and flew through the city, it scattered flames along the way, which was enough to set all the buildings near the city wall on fire.

Cai Cong said to put the Eight Ox Crossbow, but Lao Meng and Fang Niu were even more ruthless, and there were dozens of trebuchets lined up behind the Eight Ox Crossbow, which was not a stone, but a bag of fire oil wrapped in cowhide.

Cai Cong didn't blame them for making their own decisions, he nodded with satisfaction, and he used it to the fullest, this was taught by Cai Cong, and they were just practicing.

Yuan Taizuo only looked at it for a while, and found that the angle of the eight-bull crossbow was too high, and the arrow was still wrapped in oilcloth, and his heart sank in an instant, this group of people didn't want to attack the city at all, they were going to give Pyongyang a point.

"Order, the army will follow me out of the city to meet the battle, and order the people of the city to prepare to extinguish the fire." With his order, the gates of the city were opened, and everyone rushed out with a roar.

Lao Meng raised the horizontal knife and rushed forward with the sword and shield hand, like a bowling ball crashing into the pile of bottles, and instantly knocked the opponent into pieces.

"This bastard, Fang Niu ordered you to take a thousand people to guard the Eight Bull Crossbow and the trebuchet, and you must not leave an inch." Cai Cong was not only unhappy with Lao Meng's record of slashing the other party in pieces, but scolding him.

In terms of marching and fighting, none of them have Yuan Taizuo's military seniority, and they only rely on novel means and advanced weapons.

If Yuan Taizuo was shocked all of a sudden, then he would not be qualified to lead an army of more than 100,000 people for more than ten years.

Sure enough, more than a thousand people gathered together at the edge of the battle circle, led by a young man, and ran silently towards the Eight Bull Crossbow with a knife. This person is naturally Yuangai Suwen, there is no one to protect him near the Eight Bull Crossbow, and he has not encountered any resistance along the way.

More than eighty operators resisted desperately, but they only sent dozens of knives and guns to Yuangai Suwen.

When Fang Niu arrived, Yuan Gai Suwen and the others were already pushing the Eight Niu Crossbow and aiming at Lao Meng's sword and shield array.

Fang Niu's face changed drastically, he didn't expect this to happen, and immediately ordered everyone to attack Yuan Gai Suwen and them with a repeater.

The arrows covered like rain, and Yuan Gai Suwen's face changed, he held the shield, looking at the arrows that showed through the shield, his cold sweat came out.

But by this time, the button of the Eight Bull Crossbow had already been smashed down, and several scalp-numbing sounds sounded, and the huge rocket passed through the ground and crashed straight into the sword and shield array.

Lao Meng was enjoying slashing, and suddenly felt a light on the left side, but saw that more than a dozen brothers were only half of their bodies left, maintaining a defensive posture.

Seeing the arrow stuck in the ground like Tie Qiu, with corpses dangling on it, Lao Meng's eyes were split, how could this be?
