Chapter 64: Breaking the City 3

"Enemy attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Huh." The soldier who was awakened had just shouted, and was suddenly stabbed to death from behind, and in the stunned eyes of the other soldiers, the friendly soldiers around him suddenly drew their swords and were caught off guard and were killed and wounded.

"Omuro is the opposite." A Bai Chang who escaped from the city tower shouted in horror as he fled, and the soldiers on the city wall who were preparing to resist the Tang army all looked at the city tower at once.

"Damn it, kill me." Omuro held a knife in his hand, and led dozens of his own soldiers around him to fight with the rushing defenders.

Xie Qian rushed to the front of the whole army with 300 scouts, and the water power in the city gate cave led his subordinates to fight with the coming Goguryeo army.

"Beat the drums." Li Shangdan saw Xie Qian leading his troops into the West Gate, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly ordered, and the three big drums hidden in the forest rang rhythmically three times, stopped and beat three more times.

The Tang army, which had already quietly gathered at the south gate and east gate of the domestic city, heard the drum and slowly approached the city gate.

Qi Biguang and Liu Tao glanced at each other, and behind them were thousands of soldiers and horses of the Second Army of Po and Dangdi, and the two drew their swords and waved them at the south gate, and the war drums in the army thundered.

"Kill!" The two armies of Po and Dangdi pushed the battering ram and siege tower again and rushed towards the south gate, and the Goguryeo defenders on the south gate panicked with bows and arrows, and the soldiers who were sleeping in the barracks inside the south gate were panicked when they heard the drums outside the city, and they didn't even wear their clothes and armor neatly, so they took a weapon and climbed the city tower under the shouting and kicking of the officer.

"This group of Tang dogs can't be attacked during the day, so you fucking want to attack and break the city at night?" Gao Yanxing looked at the Tang army who rushed to the city and sneered, even the tactics did not change, and he wanted to break the city.

'I have long been guarding against your hand, there are a thousand soldiers in the city who are ready to be ready for a long time, and the defenders in the city can enter the city in a quarter of an hour, and see how Tang Dog can break the city. ’

"Launch the rocket." Gao Yanxing ordered to the assembled archers.

Hundreds of archers immediately switched to rockets wrapped in tarpaulins and ignited on fire.

"Put."

"Whoosh." Hundreds of rockets were fired out of the city, and hundreds of flaming arrows were suddenly inserted into the dark ground outside the city, and the firelight illuminated dozens of feet outside the city.

The rockets of the Goguryeo defenders also shot at the siege towers and battering rams, but unfortunately the Tang army applied wet mud to the siege towers and battering rams after experiencing the loss of a few of them in the first fire attack, and the interior was also wet with water during the siege, and it was built with freshly cut wet wood, so the Goguryeo army's fire attack was almost ineffective.

At the same place, at the east gate of the domestic city, Liu Shijiang led the Flying Tiger Army to attack, and the domestic city immediately fell into a state of being attacked on three sides.

Ximen Li Shangdan and Xie Qian led the White Tiger Guard to attack the city, and the defenders of the city faced the 3,000 elite Tang army in the face of the disadvantage of the strength and the internal annihilation of the enemy's heart was scattered, but it was killed and dispersed by the Tang army in two quarters of an hour.

Li Shangdan held a blood-dripping long knife, standing on Ximen Street and laughing wildly, surrounded by the corpses of Goguryeo people, and the Tang army constantly rushed by, chasing and killing the fleeing Goguryeo army.

"Lu He, you lead 800 troops to attack the south gate, and respond to the destruction of the city by Qibiguang and Liu Tao."

"The last general commands."

Lu He led the troops to rush to the south gate, and Li Shangdan looked at the cheeks in the city and shook excitedly.

'Gao Yanwu, I hope you have the courage to live and die with the city. ’

Li Shangdan rode on the horses found by his subordinates and waved his hand: "Follow me to capture and kill Gao Yanwu." ”

"Capture Gao Yanwu."

Thousands of Tang soldiers wore bloodstained clothes and armor, holding blood-dripping knives and guns, and followed Li Shangdan's shouting of 'Capture and kill Gao Yanwu' to the city with hideous expressions. Crossing the streets, the salvo of bows and crossbows killed people on sight, and the Goguryeo army sent to resist was crushed in a cluster.

Gao Yanxing, who was working the south gate to command his subordinates to resist the attack of the Tang army, was sweating profusely. watched the Tang army attacking Shangcheng kill batch after batch of his subordinates, so much so that he personally led his own soldiers to attack the Tang army attacking Shangcheng.

'How can the Tang army die tonight than during the day?' Gao Yanxing looked at the city, the Tang army would not retreat, and he was suspicious.

At this time, there was a loud crash in the city gate cave, even if the city gate was blocked, the earth and stones were shaken down.

"Ahh

The Goguryeo army, which was preparing the equipment to defend the city under the city, looked at the Tang army killed from the city behind them in horror, and hurriedly picked up their weapons in fright.

"Will ...... The general is not good, Simon ...... The west gate was breached, and the Tang army came from inside the city. A frightened Yu turned pale, knelt down in front of Gao Yanxing, and grabbed his trouser leg tightly.

Gao Yanxing kicked the coward away and looked into the city, the Tang army under the city was about to attack the city tower when it reached the south gate, and the city shouted to kill the sky, shouting to capture and kill Gao Yanwu.

"It's over, the domestic city is over." Gao Yanxing's whole body suddenly leaned weakly against the women's wall, and there was no one on the surface, and as far as the eye could see, the Tang army, which had not been able to break the city for a long time, climbed the city tower in large numbers under the heavy casualties of the soldiers defending the city. The defenders who were still holding on would either run away or become a corpse.

The city gate was smashed by a battering ram, and the captain stepped forward to take out a handful of dirt from the broken city gate and scolded hatefully: "Damn, the south gate has been blocked by Goryeoman, no wonder the brothers didn't crash open it after a long time here." ”

"Captain, our army has attacked the city, and the general asked why the city gate hasn't been broken open yet?"

"Bump away? How does this hit? The lieutenant replied angrily, pointing to a wall of earth and stone in the broken door that blocked the entire city gate.

"It's fucking ruthless." The sentinel who gave the order came closer and took a look, and suddenly realized, no wonder we couldn't open it after two days and one night.

"Push the battering ram out, let's dig it up." The lieutenant commanded his subordinates to slowly push the heavy battering ram out of the city gate hole, and then dozens of people took shovels to dig the earth and rocks inside.

The defenders on the south gate were completely dispersed by the Tang army, and in view of the fact that the door hole was blocked and difficult to dig out in a short time, Qi Biguang and Liu Tao had no patience to abandon their horses and the whole army went to the city to fight.

At this time, the domestic city was in chaos in the dark night, and there were originally 4,000 soldiers and horses in the city as a reserve, but since yesterday, the Tang army's offensive has become more and more fierce, the south gate is tight, and the east gate and north gate are easy to be attacked by the Tang army, and they cannot support the south gate. Gao Yanwu had no choice but to send the remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses to support when the south gate was in an emergency, and he lost more than half of his troops in two days of fierce fighting. At this time, there were only 1,000 reserves in the city, and the west gate and the heavily guarded south gate were broken, which meant that most of the defenders in the city were either annihilated or dispersed.

Gao Yanwu ascended to the attic on the second floor of the city lord's mansion, the south gate was in flames, and the streets of the west gate and south gate to the city were full of Tang troops shouting to capture and kill themselves.

"Hahaha! I, Gao Yanwu, finally failed. ”

Grief-stricken, Gao Yanwu pulled out the knife on his waist while crying and laughing, intending to commit suicide.

"You can't do it." Upper Room Chengding rushed over and snatched the knife in Gao Yanwu's hand.

"Mattress, it was Omuro Cheng who colluded with the Tang people to open the west door when they were ugly."

"Ahh Gao Yanwu shouted, his body shook and he almost fell to the ground. looked at the domestic city that had not been broken for more than 400 years, but it was broken by the villain! Gao Yanwu regretted that he didn't behead the defeated Omuro Cheng that day, and it was too late to say anything now.

"Mattress." Shangmuro Chengding hurriedly helped Gao Yanwu.

"If the city in the country is broken, the pills will fall, you led the army to flee from the north gate, and after escaping, you went to Pyongyang to find your eldest brother to plan and go to Anshun to restore my Goguryeo. Also, be sure to use your hand to get Omuro Nari. ”

Gao Yanwu's fierce eyes tightly grasped the collar of Uemuro Chengding with both hands.

"I'm gone, but what about Mattresa? Come out of the city with me, Mattress Sa! Shangmuro Chengding supported Gao Yanwu with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"It's all come to this point, what kind of face do I have to escape alive, just let me die in the city."

Gao Yanwu's face was like ashes, looking at the domestic city blankly, and the once heroic ambition had already disappeared with the destruction of the domestic city.

Shangmuro Chengding gritted his teeth, waved his hand to beckon two subordinates, and suddenly picked up Gao Yanwu and ran downstairs.

"Our army can't do without a mattress, the last general will be offended."

Seeing Gao Yanwu's expression, Shangmuro Chengding ordered someone to find a carriage in the house to put Gao Yanwu in, and then led three hundred soldiers and horses straight to the north gate.
