Chapter 0304. Empty city plan?
The next day, early in the morning, he ascended to the city of bones. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]
The snow that has not melted clean has been trampled on by tens of thousands of feet, and the ground is sticky everywhere, what is it uncomfortable to walk in, in front of the gate of the West City, the Tang army once again opened a vigorous array, but compared with the attack on Anshi City a few days ago, there is a feeling of always wilting, not as sharp as before.
No matter how elite the army is, in the end, it is a human being, chasing the Goguryeo army for seven or eight days, and each army will inevitably be tired and lazy.
For this, the generals of the various armies are quite calm, after all, the Tang army is tired, and the Goguryeo people are more tired than them when they go back and forth, not to mention that the Western Army has lost three battles in a row, and its morale is even lower.
It is still a classic siege mode, first trebuchets and crossbow arrays to shoot, and then ladders to siege the city, twenty traction stone throwers threw out raindrops of gravel under the back and forth of thousands of Tang troops, making the city head crackle, and the defenders on the city couldn't raise their heads, and there were more elite crossbowmen and snipers below aiming at the city wall sharply, and the Goguryeo army that showed its head slightly was immediately a point headshot.
Naturally, you can't carry the Yunlou command platform over the mountains and mountains, so the commanders of the various armies under the stage, even if Li Shimin is riding on a horse, or on the right flank of the Tang Army, Li Jie and Changsun Zhi are riding on a horse in front of the Wuyuan Army, and they all have a feeling of not waking up, even if the stones on their heads fly back and forth and rattle, following behind the two, Xiao Man'er, who was dressed as a guard, looked suspicious, looked at this for a while, and compared that for a while.
"Last night, the two of them slept in a tent for one night, and Sister Changsun was tired like this, it must be that the bad prince was sleeping and snoring, disturbing Sister Changsun!" After watching it for a long time, this girl nodded her little brain and drew serious conclusions.
In front of the Tang Army, five thousand elite infantry came out of the battle first, carrying a round shield ladder and setting up a posture, and Zhang Hongda, the general of the left Xiaowei in front of the formation, snorted violently, and Li Jie, who was half dozing, almost did not fall off the horse.
"Soldiers, the time has come to seal the shadow of the wife, and His Majesty is watching us from behind? For the sake of Datang, rush! ”
The aura of war finally turned on in the howling of the ghost and wolf, and the blood of the five thousand soldiers boiled under the influence of the skill, screaming like a wild beast, and rushed to the city wall desperately.
"It's so ugly, and it's impossible to beat the first wave, why are you so enthusiastic?" Rubbing his eyes in confusion, Li Jie muttered without complaint, but after a while, his eyes suddenly widened.
Before the Tang army rushed to the city, the city head splashed a lot of unpleasant yellow liquid downward, the ladder was just erected, more than ten torches were also dropped, and the flames came out, black smoke billowed out, and the Tang army, which was on fire, rolled on the ground in pain, and the hearts of the people who heard the howl trembled.
The question is, is this how kerosene is used? More than ten cloud ladders were burning in the fire and could not be used, and the Tang army was only lit five or six in total, and the stunned Tang Jun next to him quickly took off his cloak, covered the fire on the burning comrades and dragged them back, which is equivalent to more than ten cylinders of fire oil in Susheng Bone City replaced more than 30 simple cloud ladders.
Fierce fire oil is very valuable, Anshi City has been fighting for so long, a total of only more than ten times of fierce fire oil, about 200 cylinders, and finally even forced the defenders of Anshi City to boil oil with corpses, which shows its preciousness, every time it is used at the most critical moment, either burning the Tang Army's large-scale siege equipment or burning to death and burning hundreds of Tang Army.
Poured fire oil without shooting a single arrow, such a loser's use, Li Jie also saw it for the first time.
However, it was also crooked, how did I not expect the first wave of the offensive to be forced to stop so easily, the cloud ladder behind has not been transferred, the main force of more than 60,000 Tang Army stared at the smoke of the dark city wall speechlessly, more than a quarter of an hour, the cloud ladder was transported from the rear army, equipped with the ladder, or the general Zuo Xiaowei led the way with a wolf howl.
But this time, the vanguard Tang Army did not have the momentum just now, one by one cautiously approached, the ladder was set up on the city wall and retreated more than a meter away, sure enough, it was the oil poured down, so that the five thousand pioneer Tang Army looked at the more than 50 ladders burned as firewood in the fire and was speechless.
The drowsiness was gone, holding up the binoculars, Li Jie looked at the head of the city in surprise behind the female wall, and the heads were shaking obscenely, the Chinese army, Li Shimin looked at the fifty torches, his face was not very good, his upper lip trembled, and he waved his sword in annoyance and shouted: "Order, the left guard is replaced by the front army, and the ladder is brought again, and I will continue to attack!" ”
In the chaos, Li Jie watched as Yu Hongda, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, led the front army to retreat in a gloomy manner, and was replaced by a tall horse, a barbarian man with big bull's eyes and black hair, leading five thousand Biao troops to rush up with wolves.
After a while, the howl stopped abruptly, and under the fierce burning of the oil and oil, the soldiers hurriedly wrapped the general with blankets and burned into a big ball of fire.
One morning, take the ladder, light the fire, take the ladder, light the fire, spread the firewood, the forehead, the ladder, and then ignite the fire, the peculiar way of defending the city also lasted until noon, and the four batches of troops were tired and sweaty, and more than 600 cloud ladders were completely used up. ”
So many times, at least more than 200 cylinders of fire oil have been poured down, and it can indeed be regarded as a loser, seeing that Li Shimin's old face was flushed with anger, just like high blood pressure, the eldest grandson Wuji was quite frightened and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if you fall like this, the city-guarding equipment of the Susheng Bone City should be exhausted this afternoon, and when the time comes, the city will be broken in one fell swoop, and the old thief of Yuan Gai Suwen can still laugh?" ”
"I can't wait! The old thief is clearly attacking the morale of my army, and he sent an order to the Wuyuan army, let them go up, and break the fire with fire! The little tongue was about to roar out, Li Shimin roared angrily, and the roar made the eldest grandson Wuji's heart chuckle and drip blood.
"Five thousand!"
"Five thousand guan is coming! Brethren, take up your spirits and attack the city with this king! ”
In the Wuyuan Army, Li Jie, who got the order, also roared excitedly, although yesterday after bargaining with the prime minister and cutting half of the price, twenty barrels of gunpowder still made a lot of money, Li Jie has never been a stingy person, listen to his roaring meaning, if the city is defeated, the five thousand guan will be equally distributed to the officers and soldiers of the whole army, and immediately let the more than 2,000 soldiers present in the Wuyuan Army extremely excited, roared and followed Li Jie to the city, squeezing away the Jinzhong army that had just failed in the siege.
In the team, the eldest grandson weaving was still in a daze and drooping his head, which was all riding a horse to keep up, and his riding skills were really good.
In the shouting, there were still twenty ladders on the city wall, above, the familiar fire oil fell down and lit the fire, below, the soldiers of the Wuyuan Army also cooperated to dodge, and the retreat in the raging fire was more than 20 meters, and the soldiers of the Tang Army were stunned behind them, and some simply couldn't help laughing, and they didn't have to act so explicitly, right?
But the next laughing Tang Jun couldn't laugh, and the twenty large wooden barrels were pushed to the city gate at the same time by the Wuyuan Army Force, and the fire oil was boiling and burning, and in just one or two seconds, the sky and the earth were bursting at the city gate.
Bang~
The remnants of snow hanging on the nearby trees were shaken down one after another, and the Tang army in the rear ridicule also felt the vibration under their feet, hundreds of people were actually knocked down, the Goguryeo stone gate tower was solid, and there was no collapse in the countless cracks, but the city gate made of wood had already disappeared, and even the big stones blocked behind it flew out far away, and the power of gunpowder was fully revealed at this moment, listening to the frightened shouts of the Goguryeo soldiers in the city, and raising his head from the rain of broken stone and wood, Li Jie couldn't help but laugh proudly.
After a while, Li Jie couldn't laugh anymore.
was shaken off the horse, the eldest grandson weaver got up in a daze, a spirit, nervous general hit the horse and rushed forward, and the mouth was still coquettish: "The general of the eldest grandson's family silver lance is here!" ”
In a dazzling effort, the eldest grandson weaver himself rushed into the city gate that was still burning fiercely, and Li Jie almost fainted when he saw it, there were more than 100,000 enemy troops inside! My stupid daughter-in-law!
"Why are you still stunned? Rush with this king! With a sad roar, King Shuo was "extremely brave" and "took the lead", leading Wuyuan Jian'er to rush in with a roar, and more than 2,000 Tang troops were like flowing black ice, rushing into the city.
Finally rushed into a street, the eldest grandson weave himself came to his senses, the horse stopped, and the soldiers of the Wuyuan Army who rushed in immediately spit foaming at the mouth and built a shield wall with a big shield to cover her and Li Jie, and the remaining Wuyuan army also continued to put on a defensive posture, facing the city on the one hand, while diverting to kill the city wall, the shouting of killing immediately resounded in the upper and lower parts of the city.
However, surrounded by the shield wall, Li Jie was full of astonishment, and imagined that there were countless dense Goguryeo armies, but there were vats everywhere above and below the city wall, and when he looked back, the dense human heads behind the female wall on the city wall just now were all scarecrows with hair buns or broken helmets, fighting in the city and under the city, and more than 1,000 Goguryeo troops came out.
"What about people?"
After only hesitating for a moment, Li Jie immediately turned around like crazy and roared: "Wang Fangyi, go out of the city and give the order, the army will temporarily enter the city, the formation will not disperse, don't squeeze in all, it will be bad if you fall into the surprise attack of the Yuangai Su Wenhuo Ukrainian army!" ”
That night, the memory of the Yuangai Suwen cavalry in the city that chiseled through the Gao Yanshou army was still clear, listening to Li Jie's anxious roar, Wang Fangyi was stunned and ran away, but unfortunately, it was still a step too late, and when he saw the city gate opened, all the units of the Tang army that had been on fire all morning were densely killed, and there were many people at the city gate like a blowout, and the anxious Li Jie was sweating, so he simply left the rest of the Tang army and ordered the headquarters loudly: "The whole army has it, give up meeting the enemy and form a formation!" ”
Even if the well-trained Wuyuan Army, it is quite difficult to form a formation at this chaotic time, under Li Jie's anxious gaze, the shield hand and knife hand ran back desperately, at this time, the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and he hurriedly turned around, looking at the empty and silent Susheng Bone City, Li Jie's heart was almost jumping out.
Three seconds, two seconds, one second, it's coming!
"Ready!" With Li Jie's roar, the hundreds of soldiers gathered around him were all nervously erecting shields and raising their guns, and while anxiously waiting, the sound of horses' hooves finally showed his figure from the corner of the street.
"What?"
Full of disbelief, Li Jie was stunned and looked at a messy old man of Goguryeo who came out of the donkey cart from the corner of the street, obviously he didn't expect that there were so many people in front of him, and the old man of Goguryeo also looked at them stupidly, and the two sides suddenly looked at each other .......
