Smoke was rising everywhere at the head of Pyongyang City, and most of the three-story castle towers above the city gate were already on fire, and black smoke was billowing out. Even the arrows stored in the castle tower were burned into the fire.

Silla generals such as Kim Chunqiu, Bi Tan, Kan Chuan, and Kim Yu Shin, who were watching the battle from a distance, were all stunned when they saw this scene. They thought that they could do it with Yizhi Wende. Even if the Zhao army could capture the head of Pyongyang, it would inevitably pay a huge price, but they did not expect that the Zhao army would easily go to the head of the city, but it would also cause a lot of casualties to the Goguryeo army.

This is not the fault of Yizhi Wende, who would have thought that Zhao Jun could instantly mobilize hundreds of stone throwers, fifty bed crossbows and other siege methods, and this fire oil bomb is simply unheard of and unheard of. Where did Zhao Jun find this weapon?

"If it weren't for the luck of seeing the strength of the Zhao army today, we would still be frogs at the bottom of the well," Yan Chuan sighed, "Compared to the power of the Zhao army, it is really better than our Silla, and Goguryeo is too much." ”

Bi Tan said: "It seems that this time we Silla sent troops to help Da Zhao is right. If we can form this alliance, it will be of great benefit to Silla in the future. ”

Jin Chunqiu looked at the two of them, and said in his heart, aren't you fools worried that after the Zhao army destroys Goguryeo, the next step is likely to take advantage of the situation to annex Silla and Baekje? ”

Jin Yuxin looked at the city head and said: "Two adults, I think Eulzhi Wende will be in trouble, the Goguryeo people are brave, and under the fire bombs of the Zhao army, I am afraid it will be difficult to support." ”

At this moment, Yizhi Wende stood barely by the battlements with his sword and the support of the soldiers.

Ezhi Wende was wounded. was shot by Zhao Junliu's arrow, if he hadn't raised his hand to block it. This arrow is meant to pass through the chest. Now Ulji Wendeok ignored the pain and shouted loudly to order the Goguryeo soldiers to go to the city to defend. Hearing the order of Eulji Wendeok, on the road to the city gate, the Goguryeo forbidden army wearing armor and horn pockets was also transferred to the city and ran to the city.

However, at this time, the soldier Zhao carrying the ladder had already arrived at the city, and the anchor hook at the top of the ladder easily buckled the battlement of the city wall. Sergeant Zhao not only climbed the city from the ladder. They also climbed with the help of the arrows shot at the wall by the bed crossbow as support.

At this moment, seeing the churning flood overflowing the embankment, countless soldiers and soldiers of Zhao wearing red jackets climbed the walls of Pyongyang City almost at the same time. This is simply people crowding, people on top, people in arching.

The first soldier of Zhao to climb the battlement, looked down, and the city wall was full of Goguryeo soldiers, and he didn't say a word and just drew his knife. was stabbed by the spears of the Goguryeo people and picked off the city wall. The second Zhao soldier drew his knife, and regardless of the fact that there was only one person, he rushed directly towards the Goguryeo soldier at the head of the city, and jumped into the crowd and raised his knife to kill.

"Rush!"

The drums of war beat.

Sergeant Zhao soldiers gathered to attack the city, on every battlement. It was all the Zhao army and the Goguryeo army fighting. There is no skill in the flesh-and-blood fight on both sides, that is, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. The soldiers on both sides opened their eyes and slashed each other, and corpses kept falling on the top of the city, smashing under the city and making a loud noise.

The fighting had been going on from daylight until noon. The situation in the city is still very stale.

Li Chongjiu pressed his sword and watched quietly under the city, and Zhao's advance was smooth as he expected. But it is slightly unexpected that the Goguryeo people in the city are still so resilient after such a terrible blow.

There were a few battlements, and the Zhao army had obviously gained a foothold, but the Goguryeo soldiers who came out of nowhere killed desperately, and cut down all the Zhao soldiers, and then it was their own soldiers who killed from here and surrounded and annihilated this group of Goguryeo people.

"It's the Kyoto of the Goguryeo people! It's really not that easy to attack. Li Chongjiu said to himself.

"Your Majesty, do you want our army to withdraw first." Zhang Xuansu said.

Li Chongjiu saw a hint of cunning in Zhang Xuansu's eyes. Li Chongjiu immediately understood what Zhang Xuansu meant, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

At that moment, the middle army of the Zhao army sounded the sound of gold, and the Zhao soldiers, who had never been able to gain a sustained foothold in the city, retreated together. The Goguryeo people were relieved when they saw that it was easy for the Zhao army's offensive to subside, and they immediately picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the retreating Zhao army under the city.

A Goguryeo general rushed to Eulji Wende and said, "Great pair of Lu, the Zhao army has retreated. ”

Yizhi Wende raised his eyebrows and said: "No, the Zhao army is not tired of the offensive, why is it retreating at this time?" ”

"What's so strange about this, we desperately held the city wall......"

"Shut up," said Eji Wende, patting his thigh, "No, give the order for the soldiers to retreat from under the walls." ”

"Why?"

"Don't ask, listen to orders." Ulzhi Wende roared, and one of the generals hurriedly did as he was told, shouting to Goguryeo, who was shooting arrows at the retreating Zhao army on the city wall, to let them retreat.

And at this moment, there was a whistling sound in the air again, and the general was immediately disillusioned when he saw this scene.

When the soldiers of Zhao retreated to a safe distance, hundreds of catapults under the city fired fire bombs at the head of Pyongyang for the second time. At this time, the city walls were densely packed with soldiers of the Goguryeo army.

Bang!

The fire oil bombs burst on the city walls, and the flames raged, and the Goguryeo soldiers at the head of the city almost turned into burning men, screaming and struggling to fall high from the battlements. In addition to the 500 soldiers who had just been removed from the city wall after listening to Ulji Wendeok's words, most of the more than 3,000 Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were attacked by fire and oil bombs.

Seeing this, Etoji Wende closed his eyes in pain. And the Silla soldiers and generals watching the battle on the mountain in the distance were dumbfounded and speechless.

"It's too cruel!"

"Cruelty? Think of the hundreds of thousands of Sui soldiers who were beheaded by Goguryeo as Jingguan by the Sashui River, they were just taking revenge. The Silla army itself is also discussing.

"Don't mess with the Han people."

Li Chongjiu looked at the sea of fire on the city wall, closed his lips tightly and did not speak, the years of conquest had already hardened his heart as iron, and the screams of the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall did not affect him at all.

The standard-bearer on the nest car immediately reported to the stone throwing car the attack situation with a wonderful effect this time, and the commander of the Zhao army under the city immediately ordered all barberry crossbows to shoot twice again. When the bolt is fired, the huge recoil makes the whole crossbow bed shake.

More arrows broke away from the bed crossbow and were firmly inserted into the walls of Pyongyang City. There were more cracks in the walls, and sand and stones were falling.

"At this point, it should be almost!" Li Chongjiu drew his sword, and the Zhao army retreating under the city had been reassembled after a moment, and a new new force was replaced.

With the beating of the war drums, the Zhao army resumed the second siege!

At this moment, the drums rumbled, and the water was turbulent.
