Chapter 423: Street Fighting
"Big pair Lu, the city wall can't be defended, and the Tang Army's weapons are too powerful." Yang Wanchun pointed to the dead corpses outside and said sadly.
"How about that?" Yuan Taizuo exclaimed in shock.
"Now there is no other way but to let them in, to give them a hand in the city, in the city, their weapons will be much less threatening, and if you want to fight together, there will always be something to consider." Yang Wanchun clenched his teeth and then suggested.
"Okay, okay, let's do it, our 400,000 troops will fight them to the death in the city." Yuan Taizuo said with red eyes.
"In that case, without further ado, we will organize our men separately to boost morale so as not to cause a rout." Yang Wanchun stretched out his hand to wipe his face covered by flying dust and said loudly.
When the sound of the shelling stopped, the two of them did not care about the roar of their ears, rushed out with their people, and retreated to the city.
Li Shimin and others talked and laughed, watching the steel cannons slowly destroy the city wall, and the city gate also made the artillery bombardment crumbling.
Under the command of Duan Zhixuan, the shells had begun to extend towards the city, bombarding indiscriminately, and a tank was advancing directly, and it was a cannon not far from the city gate.
The already dilapidated city gate was suddenly gone, only the wood and stone that were skewed behind the city gate.
In this way, it was half an hour, and the barrels of the tanks and steel cannons were already too hot to open fire, so they stopped.
And the tanks have been flowing along the city gate, and from the city gate, you can see a row of tanks parked inside.
"The city gate is empty, and it seems that Goguryeo wants to fight us in a decisive battle in the city." Li Jing took the telescope and looked at it for a while, then turned around and said to Li Shimin.
"Wei Gong's arrangement is that I have already said that I will never interfere in front of the battle." Li Shimin waved his hand generously and said heroically.
"Obey the order!" Li Jing was not polite, and began to arrange as soon as he agreed.
For this situation, there have been rehearsals for a long time, you must know that this battle was prepared a year ago, and it is meticulous to the point that every battle, every general, and every situation has several alternatives.
I saw that with Li Jing's command, sword and shield soldiers, musketeers, and archers began to rush in, and many people extended and surrounded the city along both sides of the city wall.
On the contrary, the cavalry was not allowed to advance, and since Goguryeo had made a choice, it was impossible for the city to be defenseless at all, and it was most appropriate to advance gradually.
As the formation slowly unfolded, "Bang! Syllable! The sound of muskets.
Li Jing led people up the city wall, constantly observing the front, and making adjustments.
Although Goguryeo has a large number of people, it is not well commanded after all, and the Tang Dynasty is completely opposite, although the troops are not as many as them, but the experienced veterans are in groups, and they have long been gearing up.
Under Li Jing's order, he couldn't wait to take people to clean the city piece by piece, and as soon as he encountered many enemies, the manpower of the adjacent streets would quickly support the past, forming a local area to fight more and fight less.
And basically no one commanded all this, and no one asked for help, it was all the veterans who made temporary arrangements, and the cooperation was quite tacit, which is a matter of experience.
This was the first time that the musketeers had participated in large-scale operations, or in a more suitable place, street fighting.
This time it finally showed its power, in the narrow alley, only a few muskets, firing at the same time, can be placed in the front of a row or two of people, the back is taking turns to release guns, before the two sides touch, all knocked to the ground.
And in the street battle, the equipment also revealed a huge gap, and the soldiers in front of Datang not only had steel armor all over their bodies, but also shields in their hands, and all the stray arrows that came over were all blocked.
And the last thing that the Tang Dynasty warriors lack now is the marksman, holding the bow and arrow, and the Goguryeo soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
There have not been many people in the city of Liaoxi for a long time, so basically the Tang soldiers have no scruples, and they are not in a hurry to clean up the houses one by one, anyway, they are all turtles in the urn.
"Holy Lord, it is getting late, and the minister ordered to hold on to the spot, and attack during the day tomorrow, so as not to increase casualties." Li Jing went down the city tower, rode out of the city, and reported to Li Shimin.
"Yes, Datang warrior Jin Gui, there is no need to fight with him, do a good job of defense, lest the duck in the beak fly again." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said.
Datang warrior Jin Gui! When this sentence came out of Li Shimin's mouth, it was of great significance, and it soon spread throughout the whole army, so that the morale of all the soldiers was raised, and they were secretly moved, and the combat momentum was also strong, and they were eager to attack overnight.
…………
Throughout the night, the two sides lived in peace, Datang did not harass Goguryeo, and Goguryeo was busy calming people's hearts and boosting morale, and knew that Datang must be on guard, so he didn't think about a sneak attack at all.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and after the Tang soldiers had eaten, they set off towards their respective goals under the leadership of many veterans.
In order to attack the fortifications, Li Jing dropped the Lux Legion and the Fanatic Legion to the front, intending to directly break through the center and make Goguryeo not connected from end to end, but also to divide them into small pieces and then eat them.
The fanatical believers are also led by the Lai Heng and Lai Ji brothers, and the two brothers have always had a knot in their hearts about their father's death, and now that they are enemies, they can't wait.
The two of them, with the legion of fanaticists, rushed through the two streets of the city, one left and one right.
The Lux Legion was led by Xi Junmai, like a group of humanoid monsters, wearing heavy armor, carrying weapons and screaming, rushing forward.
The heavy pace was like a tank moving forward, the ground shook, especially the strange screams in the mouth, the terrifying mask, which had already chilled the enemy's heart.
And the fanatical believers are not inferior, leading the way, chanting slogans in unison, shouting mercy on the one hand, for the sake of the Son of Heaven, and waving butcher's knives on the other hand, surpassing the infidels.
…………
"Big pair Lu, you prepare, the last general will block the Tang army, you can break through with the elite." Yang Wanchun said with a wry smile.
Seeing that the soldiers in front of them were like mowing grass by the Datang soldiers, they easily tore open the gaps, and they were buried after a while, and it was difficult for the party to cause casualties to the Datang soldiers, and the iron rod, which kept snapping and blazing, and groups of warriors were knocked to the ground, and they didn't even have a chance to fight.
"Huh! What if you break out? Goguryeo is finished! Finished! Yuan Taizuo staggered against the wall, laughing miserably and muttering to himself.
"Yes! There is no chance, Datang is too powerful, and this time there is no chance at all. Yang Wanchun's eyes were gone, he stuck the knife into the ground, grabbed the handle of the knife hard, the green tendons on his hands protruded, and said in agreement.
"The old man is old, and it is not a pity to die, so he will stay for a while Li Shimin, General Yang, you can break through and find a way to see if you can get a glimmer of life." Yuan Taizuo struggled to stand up, took a deep breath, looked firmly into the distance and said.
