Chen Kefu followed his voice and looked, and sure enough, in the sound of drums and horns over and over again, the siege troops in the west finally began to attack.

The first to appear were the longbowmen of the dozens of phalanxes, so many archers lined up in a phalanx alone, and it was the first time Chen Kefu had seen them.

These archers were infantry, and the bows they used were also infantry longbows, which were not the same as the light bows used by their cavalry. This bow is larger and stiffer, and it takes a lot of force to pull it away, and the arrows can be shot farther.

With the command of the generals of each array, all the archers opened their bows and set up their arrows, and the sound of pulling the bowstring came, and only dozens of majestic voices were heard shouting, "Release!" ”

A whistling sound came, and a phalanx of 100,000 archers released arrows together, and a burst of breaking air sounds, and 100,000 arrow feathers went straight to the head of Liaodong City. The eyes of Chen Kefu and other generals followed the rain of arrows, and the 100,000 sharp arrows formed an invisible dark cloud in the air, and even the sun above their heads was blocked in an instant, and the entire sky darkened.

Chen Kefu opened his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him with some shock, the rain of arrows, the real rain of arrows, was boundless, filling the heavens and the earth. Da Sui, this is Da Sui. In this world, only the Great Sui can shoot a salvo of 100,000 longbowmen at one time. This arrow is shot out, it is 100,000 arrows, how much money does it have to be, and how many craftsmen will have to make it.

The rain of arrows that made Liaodong City dark seemed to have been flying in the air for a long time, and even Chen Kefu felt that it had been almost ten minutes, but in fact, this was just a fleeting thing.

Such a rain of arrows had not even been seen by the Goguryeo people in Liaodong City before, although those experienced generals quickly found out about the situation and shouted that the soldiers were few men raising their shields. But there were so many arrows fired by the Sui army that it rained like rain from the Sui array below the city to the sky, and then the wind whistled from the heads of the Goguryeo people.

In addition to those big iron shields, ordinary wooden shields can't stop such a rain of arrows, and those small round shields have no effect. Those soldiers held those shields, their heads were exposed, and under such a dense rain of arrows, it was completely indiscriminate attacks, and wherever they were exposed to the shields, they would be immediately filled with merciless arrows, ruthlessly taking the lives of Goguryeo soldiers one by one.

Chen Kefu turned his head and looked at the generals around him, from generals to knights, all the broken barracks were looking at everything in front of them with their mouths wide open. It's shocking, this is the momentum of thunder.

Old man Li Benlei's eyes were full of excitement, and he clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Shoot well, shoot again, keep shooting, shoot these Goguryeo barbarian sluts." Shoot them, shoot them all, and leave not one behind. ”

Wang Lin, the counselor of Bing Cao, has recently been promoted three levels in a row, from one from the eighth rank to the seventh grade, at this time, he was also wearing a suit of armor, standing a little behind Chen Kefu and them, looking at the rain of arrows in front of him, he said happily, "These arrows were brought by us from Xincheng, if we hadn't gotten a large number of arrows from Xincheng last time, they would not have been able to make a scene of 100,000 people firing a salvo, and there is a credit to us." Let's shoot quickly, it's better to shoot all the Goguryeo people to death, and then we will definitely be able to share a great credit, and maybe we will get a reward again. "Wang Lin is now very interested in the credit, wishing that all the credit was due to them for breaking the barracks.

A wave passed, and a wave continued immediately, and the defenders of the Goguryeo city were suppressed by such a rain of arrows and could not move at all. If you move casually, a body that is not good to accidentally expose will be full of feather arrows.

When the archers' phalanx attacked, the infantry siege phalanx, which had been waiting for a long time, began. These infantry took advantage of the great opportunity of the Goguryeo people to be suppressed. They rushed to the western city wall in teams.

In the past, Chen Kefu watched TV movies, and the wars in them, when it came to the siege scenes, were basically just a few routines. The soldiers rushed to the city wall with a ladder and began to climb the city wall by force. And then there are the other soldiers who just pushed the huge crash car, covered with shields, rushed to the city gate, and hit the city gate with the crash car. There is a more advanced one, that is, a row of trebuchets in the back, throwing stones, fireballs, and the like. In addition to these, he really didn't notice that there were some other ways to siege the city.

But at this moment, the siege army of the Sui army opened Chen Kefu's eyes. He finally saw the situation of the ancient siege of the city, and he really didn't know it, and he was startled. There are too many siege equipment in this Sui army, all kinds, so many that they can't even name Chen Kefu. A ladder like this can only be regarded as the simplest entry-level siege machine. Chen, in addition, is a movable siege tower wrapped in thick raw cowhide armor. In front of this kind of rushing car, a large thick pillar is erected diagonally above, and the pillar is topped with an iron head, and the power of the lever can be used to destroy the female wall above the enemy's city wall.

This kind of rushing car is huge, about four or five stories high, with huge wheels installed underneath, much like a moving turret, about dozens of meters high, it is simply a huge siege tower. The most impressive thing about this type of chariot is that it is very long and very thick with its thick poles that are erected high to hit the female wall of the city wall. According to Mr. Li Benlei, this thick pole is fifteen zhang long, which is forty meters long when converted into meters.

And there is more than one such rushing Sui army, which is actually lined up, and as many as 100 rushing vehicles are pushed under the city of Liaodong under the courageous promotion of a group of sergeants. As soon as they arrived at the city of Liaodong, those government guards were all like chicken blood, all of them had knives in their mouths, and began to climb towards the platform on the roof of the car.

Chen rushed to the car and the ladder, followed closely behind, from the Sui army's large array, surrounded by soldiers, pushing some bigger guys out. This kind of big guy called Feilou is basically higher than Liaodong City, there are eight big wheels under the big guy, and the top of the flying tower is covered with a wooden plank, and the outside is covered with a layer of raw cowhide, and the outermost is all drenched in water, not only is not afraid of the bow and arrow attack of the defending army, but even the rocket attack is not afraid.

To put it bluntly, this kind of big guy is the same as the gangway of an airplane, as long as it is pushed under the city wall and leans towards the head of the city, the soldiers below are equivalent to having an attack ramp that can accommodate four or five people in parallel. Such a big guy is really a luxurious and luxurious version compared to the rudimentary tools of the ladder that can be pushed down by the enemy if you are not careful.

However, Feilou also has disadvantages, one is that this kind of big guy moves too slowly, even if it is a little bit of the Sui Array to the city wall, it will take a long time to arrive. Second, it is difficult to make a flying building, which not only requires a variety of materials, but also is particularly time-consuming. The Sui army has besieged Liaodong for nearly a month, and it is not until today that these flying towers have been made. And these big guys can't be transported, basically they have to be made on the spot as they are used, and they can't be taken away when they are used up, purely disposable consumables, and they are expensive. If it weren't for a nationwide siege war like the Sui Dynasty, there would be no need for such a big guy at all.

Hundreds of people are guarding a flying tower, all the periphery is protected by shields, and the middle is all picked out by strong men, and every time they take a step, everyone shouts "hey, hey, hey".

And in addition to this upgraded version of the ladder flying tower, the Sui army launched a row of big guys behind the formation, these guys are very similar to the previous flying tower, they are also higher than the city wall, and they are also pushed by eight large wheels. But this kind of big guy looks more like a tall building, and this kind of big guy is called Cloud Tower. At the very top of the cloud building, there is also a platform. A cloud tower can accommodate a hundred archers, and the function of these cloud towers is to transport the archers of the Sui army to the vicinity of the city wall, so that the archers on the cloud tower can directly shoot the defenders on the city wall and in the city from above.

In this way, the Sui army with Yunlou was able to completely suppress the Goguryeo defenders with archers. Such strategic weapons are also limited to the disadvantages of high cost, high time consumption, and slow movement during combat.

And these cloud towers are not all the siege equipment of the Sui army, in addition, the Sui army is naturally indispensable to conventional and essential weapons such as trebuchets. With the efforts of groups of camels and auxiliaries, rows of catapults were also pulled to the front of the formation, and soon stone bullets were brought by the auxiliary soldiers of the Sui army. Those stone bullets were all large stones that weighed dozens of pounds and were polished into a round shape.

In addition to most of the trebuchets throwing stone bullets, there are also a small number of catapults that throw crockpots, these crockpots are filled with oil, and the Sui army has already stuffed cloth balls at the mouth of the crockpots, and then ignited the fire, and then threw them into the city, which will bring great damage to the defenders.

In addition to the west city, the southeast and north three city gates, the Sui army also sent 50,000 people to attack, and the main force was all placed at the west gate. Although the Goguryeo people could see at a glance that the Sui army was attacking Ximen, they could not transfer all the troops of the other three cities to Xicheng, because the other three cities were also facing a fierce attack by 50,000 Sui troops each.

The archers of the Sui army have launched a rain of arrows, and millions of feather arrows have been shot in this short period of time, relying on the time of this tea, the ladders of the Sui army, rushing cars, and crashing cars, have all rushed to the city, and the flying towers and cloud towers have also arrived not far from the city wall, and even those trebuchets have been pushed to the front of the formation, and calibrated. With a few more attempts, these trebuchets will be able to take over the archers' suppression duties.

After all, the power of a salvo of 100,000 archers is indeed unparalleled in the world, but the consumption of arrows is also unparalleled on the ground, such a rain of arrows can only win a little time for the siege troops in front and gain the first opportunity, but it is impossible to shoot all the time.

On the west wall of Liaodong City, a group of guards of King Rongliu of Goguryeo held the door panels removed from the houses in the city, escorting Gao Jianwu and a group of generals to rush over.
