Chapter 998: The Yellow Sparrow has to be done thoroughly

In July, the sun is the hottest time of the year, but the land of Goguryeo is a little cool.

No, strictly speaking, Goguryeo has perished, the king has been captured, most of the royal family has been captured, the king has fled, and only the last city on the territory still has the Goguryeo flag, and the defeat is almost certain.

But it is often such remnants of the army that often burst out with the most powerful desire to fight.

I want nothing more than to die in battle!

Silla went on the offensive and soon realized that they had encountered a difficult bone to gnaw. Originally, the defenders of the city were more numerous than them, and their will to fight was particularly strong, and as soon as they fought, they suffered a heavy loss.

The enemy is not as hopeless as they imagined, just waiting for death, on the contrary, the other party is rushing out one by one as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.

The Silla army was stunned on the spot, this ...... Who's attacking? How did it turn the other way around?

The offense and defense were exchanged, and Silla suffered a big loss, and the beaten retreated two miles in a row, and never dared to attack again.

The troops in the city did not pursue, and they were deeply afraid of the Tang Dynasty on the other side. The level of the Silla army was like that, and the Goguryeo people didn't pay attention to it at all. Similarly, the combat effectiveness of the Goguryeo army was not taken into account by the Tang Dynasty.

It's like a food chain, one link after another, and the food is dead.

What is thought-provoking is the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, seeing that Silla was repulsed, and there was no intention of interfering in the war.

Afterwards, the generals of Silla came to the camp of the Tang Dynasty and discussed with the Tang army about attacking and taking the city together. Li Tao listened to the resignation of the Silla general, and said with a smile: "We came from afar to help you recover the river, don't you even know how to take the lead?" ”

In one sentence, the Silla generals were scolded back, but the Silla generals couldn't say anything. Datang is indeed the reinforcement they moved, and as the master, it is reasonable to take the lead.

But the key thing is...... The first battle can't beat people! And you Tang Jun have no intention of helping at all, and your psychology is a little bottomless......

Li Tao was not in a hurry at all anyway, for him, capturing this city was like picking up something. After seeing the power of the cannons, he was convinced that the walls of the city could not hold out for an hour under the fire of the cannons. Once the city wall is broken, are you afraid that you won't be able to beat this city? Besides, they still have thunderbolts in their hands, and if you bomb them down, no matter how high your morale is, it's just a lump of mud, and it's useless at all.

It was Silla who was uncomfortable, and now it is not attacking or retreating, it is simply difficult to ride a tiger.

In the end, the Silla generals gritted their teeth and fought hard! Led the army to continue to stop the offensive. Although the strength of the defenders of the city is stronger than them, there should be no problem with the strong foreign aid of the Tang Army, so when a counterattack was organized in the city, he led his subordinates to stubbornly block the attack.

Just hold on! Just wait for the rescue of the Don Army! They gritted their teeth and fought desperately.

The Silla generals were doomed to be disappointed, because Li Tao had no intention of sharing the fruits of victory with them at all, and since he wanted to be a yellow bird, he had to do it thoroughly! He waited for the main Silla force to be exhausted, and then attacked the city.

The poor Silla generals thought that the Tang army would come to the rescue, so they stupidly led their soldiers to resist, and 30,000 horses stormed a city with 70,000 or 80,000 people, and the end was doomed to be tragic. The Silla general was not careful, and was shot in the knee by an arrow from the city wall, which was enough to make his body unbalanced, although it could not kill anyone.

When his body lost balance and fell, several more Goguryeo soldiers suddenly broke through the defense, rushed to him, and waved the butcher knife in his hand fiercely under his desperate gaze......

At the moment before he died, the general was still imagining that the Tang army would appear to save him, but unfortunately, he was doomed to be disappointed, the knife slashed at his neck, and the enemy attacked very hard, cutting off his neck with a knife and killing him on the spot.

As soon as the Silla soldiers saw that the main general was killed in battle, and the dragons were leaderless, they immediately panicked, and they were originally pressed and beaten by the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces, but now that the main general is dead, the army's heart is completely broken, I don't know who screamed, threw away their weapons and fled, and the rest of the soldiers all did the same, lost their weapons one after another, and fled like crazy.

The coalition forces immediately pursued and killed many fleeing soldiers, but fortunately, they did not dare to chase too far, for fear of being attacked by the Tang army behind, and immediately withdrew after chasing for a mile.

Even so, Silla also suffered heavy casualties, and later statistics showed that more than half of the Silla soldiers were killed or wounded in this battle, except for the accident of the general's death, more than ten other generals were killed and wounded, which can be described as a fiasco.

Silla was defeated, but it was a very good time for the Tang Dynasty, taking advantage of the fact that Goguryeo Baekje had just finished a tough battle and had no time to rest, so he immediately launched an offensive.

In the same way, the cannon took the lead, and the thirty cannons bombarded the single-sided city wall, completely bluffing the coalition army, and most of them had never seen the cannon at all, but they learned that the Tang army had a very powerful weapon, and when it was used, the sound was like thunder, and the momentum was like a bamboo. I didn't expect this thing to be so fierce! Three rounds of bombardment actually knocked down most of the city wall!

And some of the cannonballs from the cannon will explode, only to hear a loud bang, and then the companions around you are gone! It's really gone! Not even the scum left! And when they looked down, half of their arms were also blown up, and the pain made them howl and roll on the ground.

As soon as Datang made a move, it was really different, the originally high morale was completely extinguished by a few cannons fired by Datang, and the shadow of death appeared in the hearts of every soldier.

The city walls were all broken, how could they resist the Tang army? What's more, the weapons of the Don Army are so advanced! The city walls can't stop it, but can their fleshy bodies stop it?

The bombardment of artillery has just begun, after all, there are still seventy or eighty thousand soldiers in the city, if it is attacked hard at this time, the casualties will undoubtedly be very large.

When the coalition forces were fighting with Silla just now, the Tang army silently set up a stone thrower.

Since the invention of the cannon, the catapult has gradually become obsolete, and the siege is dominated by cannons, but the catapult has one advantage, the cannon has been irreplaceable, that is, it can fire - "fuel bombs!" ”

And the "fuel bomb" will give the coalition forces a taste of what is called real horror!

"Hurry up! Hurry up! "The Tang army arranged for men and horses to lay a large number of mines around the city and surrounded the entire city.

In the Chinese army, the people are quickly installing the stone thrower and pushing the stone thrower to the front to ensure the range.

Then the soldier tied the oil canister to the thunderbolt, lit it, and fired it......
