"Xuanhou is planning to throw these things into Beisha City?" Li Daozong asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Not bad." Xuan Shijing said: "These gunpowder packs have primers, and when the time comes, they will be lit and thrown directly onto the walls of Beisha City with catapults, but this is a strict requirement for the accuracy of the people who operate the catapults. ”

"This Xuanhou doesn't have to worry, I'll pick the hand." Li Daozong said: "However, Beisha City is also close to the sea, and Sancheng of Goguryeo's naval troops are stationed in Beisha City, I am afraid that the pressure on Liu Hongji's side is much greater than ours." ”

"Lord Liu's navy and Goguryeo's navy are fighting at sea, at that time, the rear of Beisha City must be empty, and we may be able to take advantage of the void to enter." Xuan Shijing said: "There are so many naval troops stationed in Beisha City, there will definitely not be too many ground troops defending the city, and most of the ground errors are in Anshi City, so if you use gunpowder to deter it, and then take it, Beisha City can be determined." ”

"That's right, this king thinks the same way, so this time I will take Beisha City, and I will be able to take nine out of ten." Li Daozong said with a smile.

Xuan Shijing's gunpowder gave him a big surprise, that thing can not only be used in siege, there are too many places that can play a role, thirty boxes of gunpowder is not a small amount, in addition to attacking Beisha City, there should be a lot left.

In the evening, everyone set out in their whole army, and it was just in the morning, and when they arrived at Beisha City, they could make a few simple catapults along with them.

When I arrived near Beisha City, I listened carefully to the sound, and I could hear that on the sea nearby, Liu Hongji's sailors had already fought with the sailors of Beisha City.

"Now is a good opportunity to push the catapult out first!" Li Daozong ordered.

Immediately afterwards, more than 50 people pushed the prepared ten taels of catapults to the open space 500 meters away from Beisha City.

More than 5,000 vanguard troops appeared outside Beisha City, and even the Goguryeo soldiers at the head of the city, no matter how stupid, knew that someone was coming to attack the city, and hurriedly blew the horn.

One thing was guessed correctly by Xuan Shijing, Beisha City is the garrison of the Goguryeo Naval Army, and there are not many soldiers defending the city on the ground, and now the sailors have gone out to fight, and they are fighting with Liu Hongji's sailors on the sea, and the Beisha City on the ground, the remaining soldiers defending the city, but more than 1,000 people.

Beisha City is not a big city, and the grain and grass in the city can't support many soldiers, so as soon as the sailor leaves, it is basically an empty city.

"The guards at the head of the city listen, we are the vanguard of the Tang Dynasty, by the will of the Heavenly Khan, to crusade against Goguryeo and rebel, and persuade Er to open the city gate and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise the sword will have no eyes, and you will increase casualties!" Among the vanguard army, there are people who are specially responsible for shouting, as the saying goes, the siege of the city is the bottom, and the attack of the heart is the top.

Now that Goguryeo is waging war because of Quangae Suwen, the people are panicking, so they will be provoked with words first.

After the people at the head of the city heard the words shouted by the Tang army, there seemed to be a commotion, and then there was one more person on the head of the city, who seemed to be the leader of the defenders at the head of the city, and after a few shouts, the commotion of the soldiers on the city head was settled, and then he poked his head out and shouted to the vanguard army outside the city: "Since it is the heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, my Goguryeo has not invaded the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the second is to kill the people of the Tang Dynasty, why does His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty want to raise troops against me Goguryeo?" ”

"Gao Jianwu, the king of Goguryeo, is the king of Rongliu who was personally crowned by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Quangai Suwen killed the king of Rongliu to seize the national politics of Goguryeo, doesn't he regard the will of His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty as child's play, and now the crown prince of Rongliu, Gao Huanquan, is still in the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, how can it be Quangai Suwen's turn to speak!" Li Daozong said in a calm voice.

"General, the last general feels that there is no need to talk nonsense with them, if they are not the lackeys of Quangai Suwen, King Rongliu has been dead for two months, and I haven't seen them do anything, according to the last general's opinion, a direct attack is." Xuan Shijing said on the side.

This is Xuan Shijing and Li Daozong cooperating in acting, since they want to seize other people's cities, and there is no result in saying two or three polite words, then just do it directly.

"Soldiers! Listen to the general's order, catapult ready! Li Daozong shouted.

One end of the catapult was pulled down, and the soldier placed five large bags of gunpowder on each of the five catapults, and then the soldier with a torch stepped forward.

"Ignition! Cast! Li Daozong shouted.

The soldier with the torch in his hand lit the primer of the gunpowder and began to count the time, signaling the two throwers in front of the catapult to pull the rope.

Five gunpowder packets were sent to the walls of Beisha City, and after a burst of gunsmoke, five gaps were blown out of the walls of Beisha City.

The few throwers that Li Daozong found were quite good, and it can be said that these five strokes can be regarded as a good start to the attack on Beisha City.

"Go on." Li Daozong ordered.

Five more gunpowder packs were sent to the walls of Beisha City, repeating the tragedy of the talented Goguryeo soldiers.

"General, aim at the city gate this time, there are not many defenders in Beisha City, blow open the city gate, our cavalry will rush in first, and the infantry will follow." Xuan Shijing proposed.

Li Daozong nodded, and ordered his men to aim at the city gate with a catapult and blow the city gate open.

The power of gunpowder is huge, and it can be said that it is devastating on the battlefield where cold weapons are rampant, and even the gunpowder that can blow out the gaps in the city wall is easy to blow open the wooden city gates.

After several rounds of gunpowder bombardment, the gates of Beisha City were completely reduced to pieces.

"Rush, !!" The soldiers of the vanguard army waved the horizontal knives in their hands and rushed into Beisha City, and the defenders on the walls of Beisha City were already frightened by the gunpowder packs, and they could not organize effective resistance at all, the deafening explosion sounded around them, and their ears were roaring for a while, and the only thing that could be seen was that the partners next to them were blown to pieces, or their legs, feet and arms were blown off, and they lay on the ground and wailed for a while, and then they were silent.

If the remaining defenders on the city wall could organize themselves and block the cavalry charge with bows and arrows, maybe after the cavalry entered the city, there would be no momentum, but the war was so cruel, and morale was gone.

There are also many infantry in the city, seeing the cavalry rushing in, they want to rely on the terrain to maneuver with the cavalry, after all, the terrain in the city is not open, and the cavalry has no stamina after a charge.

Obviously, the infantry in the city was not the opponent of the Datang Iron Cavalry, not to mention the well-equipped soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
