Chapter 342: The Great War Five

Yuan Taizuo was shocked by the mine, which strengthened his determination to occupy Liaoxi, and after returning to Yingzhou, all the siege weapons were already in place, and Yuan Taizuo launched a siege on Yingzhou City on all sides.

did not choose the traditional siege of three and one, which means that Yuan Taizuo does not want to let go of anyone in the city, this is also to reduce the resistance to attack other cities in the future, otherwise the Tang soldiers retreat to the next city to continue to defend, which will be too troublesome for him.

It's a pity that it backfired, Yuan Taizuo didn't know that Datang had already prepared, and not long after they sent troops, Liaoxi had already mastered their every move.

Yingzhou City is now a huge barracks, in addition to 70,000 soldiers, the rest is 60,000 young people, these young people's main task is logistics, help transport arrows, wounded, cook rice and boil water.

Since most of the people in Liaoxi are Khitan and Turkic people, these 60,000 young men will also play cameo archers in batches, and when a large number of enemy troops attack, they will use dense arrow formations to form an arrow curtain, causing a large number of enemy casualties.

As for the scattered attack, two hundred steel crossbows scattered on the four city walls, facing the dense crowd, siege weapons, point shooting, the long prismatic aluminum arrows, the baby's arm is as thick as a baby's arm, it can be said that they are forgotten next to each other, and they die when they rub it, for Goguryeo, no matter who is opened a big hole, there is no possibility of survival, and the people who are killed by the steel crossbow are very miserable, most of them will not die immediately, the prismatic arrow branch will make them bleed non-stop, and slowly die in pain and wailing, which invisibly greatly hit the morale of the coalition army.

As for siege vehicles, building vehicles, etc., they will also be damaged by high-speed crossbow arrows, huge targets, so that the Tang soldiers can easily aim, although the aluminum arrows are not hard, but they are shot out by the steel crossbow, they can still easily penetrate the protection of the coalition forces.

For the steel crossbow, there is no difference between a layer of paper, after the aluminum arrow hits the target, it will be seriously deformed, not only so that the person in the arrow is not good to pull out, and the coalition army can not use the aluminum arrow to collect, and the deformed arrow is not even like the goods, and it is soft, and even a more wooden stick is not as good.

Yuan Taizuo is also very well prepared, especially a lot of arrows, there are many archers every day to press the formation, but unfortunately Datang has a huge steel shield, and the shield array is laid at the head of the city, which can allow the soldiers to easily counterattack without being injured, as for the archers composed of young and strong people under the city, they also have a wooden shield defense, which can be described as safe and worry-free.

For several days in a row, the coalition forces attacked and were all repulsed, not only killed and wounded, but also did not even touch the city wall, and the most important thing is that there are many Tang Dynasty military doctors, even if there are injuries, they can be treated in time.

The medicinal powder made by Nanzhao Sanqi has a very good hemostatic effect, and the wound is difficult to heal quickly.

Yuan Taizuo saw that even a city was killed and injured by tens of thousands, but he could imagine how bad his mood was, and he didn't dare to continue to attack, because the Tang Dynasty in the city seemed to have arrows that didn't need money, and the sky was full of arrows, and the arrows that flew up were simply covering the sky and the sun.

It took five days, nearly 50,000 dead and wounded, to make the bottom of wood, cover it with mud, and fill in the moat.

This moat is a backwater river, because of the large number of laborers, it was dug out, there is no water, but it is wide and deep, and it is specially designed to consume Goguryeo troops.

After a few days like this, Yuan Taizuo was almost desperate, facing a city like a hedgehog, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to start to waste the arrows of the Tang Dynasty with a feint, and then find a way to capture the city.

The night attack was discovered by the secret sentinel, and thousands of people were killed by random arrows, and then Zhang Liang sacrificed the magic weapon of the Tang Dynasty to defend the city - glass mirror, a huge glass mirror, standing behind the fire, reflecting the outside of the city like day.

Then there was a tunnel, more tunnels were excavated at the same time, relying on the large number of people, digging from a distance, digging to a close place, digging during the day, and moving under the cover of a feint to avoid the sound being heard by the Tang guards, this time it was almost succeeded by Goguryeo............

Let's say that after Feng Daiwen joined his subordinates, Starry Night rushed to Danzhou, and this time he brought all the horses that pulled goods from the mine to travel, plus the war horses of the original fanatic army, and marched quickly.

The city of Danzhou is not big, and now there are stubborn and stubborn thinking and coming to defend it, with a lot of troops, there are 10,000 fanatical believers, 10,000 recruits, 5,000 government soldiers, and 5,000 Turkic troops in the headquarters of stubborn thinking, 5,000 Japanese slave death squads, 30,000 Turks, Khitans, and Xi people.

Stubbornly executed the order well, pretending to be only 20,000 men to defend, and kept taking turns to lure the coalition forces to attack continuously.

The coalition army also began to attack on the second day of arrival, and continued to attack for four consecutive days, with more than 10,000 casualties, except for the first day, they were all trying their best to attack, and then they all seemed to be unable to work, all of them were saving their own strength, wanting others to attack, and they enjoyed their own success, and even interrupted the siege for a while.

In fact, it is true, the Khitan and other tribes refused to attack the city on the grounds that they were cavalry, although Baekje was the main force, but the Baekje warriors had always been negligent in training, and in the face of the Tang Dynasty's strong bows and arrows, they were all defeated at the touch of a few times.

October 28, 5th year of Zhenguan, Danzhou City

"County Prince, these coalition forces are too unruly, won't they attack today?" Li Tian, who was fully armed, was like an iron jar, holding a helmet in his hand and asked if he was obsessed.

"Hehe, I don't know why I didn't attack this below, but it's a good thing that they don't come, and when the governor arrives, he will just destroy them." Stubbornness and loss of thought also said with a blank face.

"King Jun, this coalition army doesn't want to contribute, and they blame each other, maybe they are quarreling now. If you look at the attacks in the past few days, it's obvious that they're all making a show. Laiji explained on the side.

"The general is right, I knew that there would not be so many people to defend, and it scared them." Li Tian shook his head and said, obviously puzzled and very disappointed by the behavior of the coalition forces, so that he, who had experienced the first time in the war, had no enemies to kill, you must know that he and Fang Yiai were the most excited in the past few days.

Li Tian and Fang Yiai are also Feng Daiwen's meaning here, and they were allowed to fight only after they begged many times, but they were also armed to the teeth, except for the eyes outside, even the hands were wearing deerskin gloves, and they were strictly forbidden to take them off.

As for the Li Ke and Li Tai brothers who were also flustered, Feng Daiwen of course sternly refused, and was arranged to train the 200,000 young men.

"Such a vulnerable opponent, if you want me to say just kill it directly, and when the governor comes, we have won, just let him see, and he will not underestimate us in the future." The same tin canned Fang Yi said angrily, this guy is a tendon, Feng Daiwen told him that as long as he went into battle, he couldn't take off the equipment, and he would completely implement it, and he wouldn't even put away the mask.
