"Monster!" "Ghost, it's a ghost!" "Oh my God, youkai, it's a youkai, run!" …… People are always afraid of the unknown, the more incredible things are, the more panicked they are, the more strange things are more intimidating, this is the case throughout the ages, and the officers and soldiers of Goguryeo, who have not yet been completely civilized, are no exception, no, with a gust of wind blowing, the things floating in the distance are finally exposed in front of everyone, and it is a huge "human head", and the hideous face suddenly made the people who were originally stunned let out a frightened cry, some of them are fast, Even didn't care about the responsibility of guarding the city, shouted and fled in the direction of the city gatehouse, as for the rest, it was not that they didn't want to run, but they trembled so much that their legs and feet were weak, and they could only swing in place, and the whole city was in chaos.

"What's the panic, release the arrow, release the arrow quickly!" Although the officer who led the patrol was also frightened by the monster that "snorted" from time to time, he still remembered his own duties, and saw that his soldiers were all panicked, and he was furious, and he drew his waist knife and held it in his hand, driving a group of subordinates to draw bows and arrows.

A military order is a military order, although the defenders were frightened, but they still picked up the bow according to the order, trembling with the bow to aim, with a "release arrow" order, barely shot out a sparse rain of arrows, as for the effect, then there is no need to count on it - here the city wall is far away from the city gate tower in a secluded place, except for the team of less than two hundred patrol posts, there are only a few dozen lookout posts, adding up to a total of more than two hundred, and a batch was scared away before, After deducting some shield swordsmen who have no bows and arrows, there are less than 100 people who can still hold on to the bow at this time, plus one of the people is still frightened at this time, under the weakness of the hands and feet, the arrows are weak, not to mention, the accuracy is also far behind, more than 100 arrows will shoot out like this, but none of them hit the target, the huge human head-shaped "monster" is still "poof, poof" floating towards the direction of the city wall, not only that, but the lights that flutter in the distance are also shown under the light of the torch, and it is the same as the first monster, All of them were huge and hideous "heads", which shocked the entire panicked defenders and officers and soldiers completely lost their fear, not to mention continuing to release arrows, they were almost unable to stand on their feet, so there were not a few who fell to the ground.

Monsters aren't actually monsters, and to put it bluntly, it's nothing, but they're just hot air balloons—this batch of hot air balloons is a total of ten.,It's one of the secret weapons newly developed by the Shenji Battalion.,This thing is divided into two parts: a double-layer airbag and a hanging basket - the airbag is sewn with silk specially processed with watertight glue paint.,Divided into two layers inside and outside.,In order to ensure airtightness,The surface is painted with paint hideous grimaces.,Thought it's for scare.,A group of defenders suddenly saw it in the dark night.,Naturally, they can't discern the truth.,It's not surprising that it was a monster falling from the sky- The hanging basket under the airbag is made of bamboo, and the fuel injection installed on the hanging basket is used as heating fuel, and the amount of ballast is used to control the height of the flight, and the "poof" sound heard by the defenders is the sound made when the oil tank is ignited, these balloons are one of the hole cards of Li Zhen's siege, which should have been released when Gao Quansheng attacked the Silla army camp, but the wind direction was not right, and the hot air balloon could not enter the city with the wind, so it had to be postponed, but when the time was about to end, the south wind finally turned into the north wind, Although the wind was not strong, it was just right for the hot air balloon to go out, and this wave of strange soldiers finally arrived at the city before dawn, which was the first and most important step in the surprise attack.

The hanging basket of the hot air balloon is not big, that is, it is only four feet square, even if it is full of soldiers, it can't fit many people, obviously, there is no possibility of relying on these hot air balloons to carry troops to capture the city defense, even if it barely occupies a section of the city wall, once the defenders react, it only takes one impact to eat the Tang army that went to the city at such a point, such a low-level mistake Li Zhen will certainly not make - this batch of hot air balloons has only one effect, that is, deterrence, it is a deterrent, then there must be a deterrent power, And this depends on how Yan Wancheng, the deputy commander of the musket team who led this strange army to attack, performed.

"Get ready!" Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the city, Rao is Yan Wancheng was also a battle-hardened person, but he couldn't help but be so nervous that his burly body trembled slightly, and the hand that grabbed the cable couldn't help but add a little more strength - this is a high-altitude operation, even if Yan Wancheng had practiced several times when he was in Lantian, but after all, it was the first time to go into battle, especially in the case of such a major task, Yan Wancheng was nervous.

"Bomb dropping!" As soon as the hot air balloon leaned above the city, Yan Wancheng roared and gave the order to attack, and in an instant, the four people who were half-squatting and half-standing in the gondola moved at the same time - a soldier controlled the fuel to keep the height and stability of the hot air balloon, and the other three grabbed the iron cans in the gondola, ignited the fuse on the fuel nozzle, and threw it at the defenders who were shouting and screaming at the head of the city.

The iron cans are naturally not ordinary iron cans, which are not only filled with granular black powder, but also small iron pieces as prefabricated shrapnel, don't look at the size is not big, that is, a foot high, half a foot wide, but the power is extraordinary, before the panicked defenders and soldiers figure out what is going on, those iron cans have fallen from the sky, smashing into the crowd, and then, several loud noises burst out, and in the flames of explosions, countless shrapnel flew sideways, The ignorant defenders were blown up with flesh and blood, and in this moment alone, more than a dozen of the defenders gathered together died, and more than 30 wounded cried and rolled to the ground.

"Run!" Among the defenders who cried for their fathers and mothers, they didn't know who shouted first, and all those who could still run fled in the direction of the city gate, leaving only a bunch of stumps and broken arms and some seriously injured people who could not escape.

"Anchor!" Yan Wancheng, who was about to throw the third bullet, saw that the defenders had fled, laughed and put down the iron can in his hand, waved his hand, and ordered the anchor to be dropped, but saw a sergeant pick up the iron anchor attached to the hanging basket, danced, and threw it violently at the city saucer, the anchor spun and flew out, accurately hooking the city saucer, after the huge balloon creaked for a while, it stopped steadily above the city, and the nine hot air balloons that flew in the follow-up were also the same operation, except for the two balloons that were misoperated and flew into the city flutteringly, The rest of the balloons were held at the top of the city, lined up, swaying back and forth in the wind, and the sergeants on them, all armed with tin cans, ready to suppress the defenders who had attacked from the city gatehouse.

"Good, good!" Yan Shibaiyi, who led the army to lurk one mile away from the city, saw that Yan Wancheng's troops had firmly controlled the city, and jumped up ecstatically, pulled out the sword at his waist, slashed in the direction of the city, and shouted: "Blow the trumpet, the whole army attack, kill the city!" As soon as these words came out, the mournful sound of the horn sounded in the darkness before dawn, and Wu Qian's Tang infantry who had been on standby for a long time carried the ladder and other objects and shouted towards the city wall...... The sound of explosions in the quiet night spread far away, even the Tang army outside the rest of the gates also heard it clearly, and this was the clarion call for attack, almost at the same time that Yan 18 launched the siege battle, Li Daliang of the West Gate and Cheng Mingzhen of the South Gate of the two ambushes were led by Pang Xiaotai and Cheng Wuting respectively to launch a fierce siege battle, for a time the four gates of Pyongyang City were full of wolf smoke, and there was an emergency everywhere, and countless newspapers and horses hurriedly rushed to the mansion of Lu Yuan Gai Suwen, the big pair in the inner city.

"Report, the Tang army at the east gate is attacking the city, and there are monsters to help, General Yang led his troops to resist desperately, and they are gradually unable to support it, so I implore the big Lu to send troops to help immediately."

"Report, Ximen Tang army took advantage of the night to attack the city, our army was suddenly attacked by the enemy, in a hurry, it was difficult to carry the enemy's strength, the city defense was urgent, General Liu fought hard, and I implore the big Lu to send troops immediately, I am afraid that it will not be guaranteed at night."

"Report, the enemy army at the south gate has made a big move, General Gao has led the whole army to the top of the city, the Tang thieves are attacking like a tide, and our army has gradually been trapped......" "Report, General Gao went out of the north gate to attack the ambush at night, and now he is trapped under the city, in addition, Tang Kou has begun to rush to the city, and the major general has led the army to the top of the city, please break with Lu Ming."

…… Yuangai Suwen's intention of sending Gao Quansheng to rob the camp was to provoke the Tang army to attack the city, but he didn't expect the Tang army to come, but the fierceness and speed of its momentum were far beyond Yuangai Suwen's expectations.

"Father, the situation is critical, and let the child lead the army to the city."

Seeing that his Lao Tzu had not been angry for a long time, Yuan Nan was in a hurry, jumping to his feet and shouting.

"Third brother, don't be presumptuous!" Yuan Nanjian saw that Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes widened, and hurriedly stepped forward, first scolded Yuan Nan Wen, and then bowed to Yuan Gai Suwen and said: "Father, the child thinks that Tang Kou is so fierce this time, I am afraid that it is not a temporary intention, before the loud noise at the east gate, and said that there are monsters to help, according to the child's opinion, Tang Kou's main attack should be at the east gate, without further ado, the child is willing to lead the troops to reinforcements, hoping that his father will be favorable." ”

"That's good, immediately order Qi Wu thousands of soldiers and horses to reinforce the east gate, and be sure to block Tang Kou under the city."

Yuangai Suwen knew that the situation was urgent, so he no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and issued an order.

"Yes, the boy obeys!" Yuan Nanjian replied with a little excitement, took the arrow handed over by Yuan Gai Suwen with both hands, bowed and saluted, and hurriedly went out to raise troops and horses.

"Father, eldest brother, and second brother have all gone into battle, how can the child sit and guard, please give my father an order, the child is willing to lead his troops to fight, and he will definitely defeat Tang Kou!" As soon as he saw that his second brother had won the general order, Yuan Nan was in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed forward, pestering Yuan Gai Suwen, and making trouble to lead the troops into battle.

Yuan Gai Suwen has always loved this youngest son, and at this time he was worried about the war, but he was so troubled by Yuan Nan's wife, it was really a headache, and in desperation, he shook his head and said: "It is good to give birth to a child who wants to fight, but the inner city cannot be unguarded, in case the outer city is lost, it will be a bad thing, you are willing to lead the troops to defend the inner city and share the worries for your father." ”

"Yes, the boy obeys."

Since Yuan Gai Suwen had already said this, Yuan Nan was unwilling, but he didn't dare to make any more trouble, he replied with a bitter face, and withdrew from the hall boringly, and went to the inner city to point troops to defend without mentioning it.

"Monsters? Monster ......" After Yuan Gai Suwen sent Yuan Male Sex away, not only did his mind not calm down, but he was a little more worried, and a bad premonition surged in his heart, and he paced back and forth in the hall restlessly for a while, muttering in his mouth, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, he spun his heels, stood on his feet, and shouted loudly: "Come on, put on armor!" As soon as these words came out, a group of guards waiting outside the hall immediately rushed in, waiting for Yuan Gai Suwen to change his clothes and armor...... Although the darkness before dawn is deep, but short-lived, with the full development of the war, the sky is gradually brightened, although the dark clouds in the sky are still thick, but the light is still irrepressibly hazy, the Tang army besieged for a long time Gao Quansheng Department only then saw the whole situation clearly, the originally low morale of the army has been extremely low - the entire north gate has been a sea of people, the Tang Xin coalition army is fully dispatched, Gao Quansheng is like a small reef in the sea, drowning in hundreds of thousands of troops, There is no longer a place to run.

"Big brother, I can't leave, what should I do?" Gao Quanming looked around for a while, and saw that the Tang Army's infantry and cavalry were in a strict formation, and all the roads of his own department had been completely blocked, and he couldn't break through at all.

What to do? Up to now, Gao Quansheng didn't know what to do, but he was very strange in his heart, and he couldn't understand why the Tang army was only surrounding his own department, but he never launched an offensive, and at this time, in the face of Gao Quanming's inquiry, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, but he didn't answer.

"Is it Gao Quansheng and General Gao on the other side? General Xue Wanche is here, and he also asked General Gao to come forward and answer. ”

Just when the Gao Quansheng brothers looked at each other, there was a commotion in the Tang army's formation, and a general rode in from behind the formation surrounded by a group of guards, and the one who came was the general Xue Wanche, but seeing Xue Wanche riding forward, he raised his voice and shouted.

"Big brother, don't go, be careful of deception."

When Gao Quanming heard Xue Wanche's invitation, he looked at Gao Quansheng with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice.

"It's okay, let's hear what he has to say."

Gao Quansheng knew that now he was a fish and a man, and he was a sword, so he had such a tired soldier under his command, and the Tang army on all sides only needed a combined attack to eat it all in one bite, so he gently patted Gao Quanming's shoulder, whispered a word of comfort, and then slowly rode out of the array, came to Xue Wanche's approach, bowed his hand, and said in proficient Chinese: "The last general is Gao Quansheng, I don't know what General Xue has to say?" According to Xue Wanche's nature, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Gao Quansheng at all, if it weren't for Li Zhen's explanation, Xue Wanche would have wiped out Gao Quansheng in one go, how could Li Zhen's life not be violated, Xue Wanche could only follow Li Zhen's prior explanation, and returned the courtesy: "It's not that the old man is troublesome, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my family has a word to tell." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Gao Quansheng was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief.

"What Erzhi did last night for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my family has already calculated, and I also know that the reason why Er went out of the city to attack the camp was just because he was forced by the old thief of Yuangai Suwen.

In addition, now my Tang Dynasty is coming, not to destroy Goguryeo, just to capture the old thief who usurped the throne, once the city is broken, my army will take this thief and retreat, the country of Er can still exist, General Gao is good at leading troops, should be established as a big pair of Lu, assist Gao Renwu as the king, do you want to? Xue Wanche actually didn't agree with Li Zhencun's Goguryeo move, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Zhen's arrangement.

"This ......, is this true?" Gao Quansheng, as a disciple of the Goguryeo clan, is very well-informed, and he has also heard about Gao Renwu's incident yesterday, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and only thought that it was Li Zhen's plan to discord, but at this time, when he heard Xue Wanche say this, it was really like a thing, and he couldn't help but have some speculation, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief.

"Hmph, the old man is just relaying the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't believe it, you can resist the soldiers, and see how many hands and feet the old man has to kill Er, that's all, give you a pillar of incense time to decide, and don't wait for it!" Xue Wanche was reluctant to reach an agreement with Gao Quansheng, in his opinion, it was best for Gao Quansheng to refuse, or to kill him on the spot by the way, at this time, seeing Gao Quansheng's face full of confusion, he was too lazy to explain, and after dropping a sentence, he rode back to his own formation.

"Big brother, how should I ask my eldest brother to make a decision on this matter, I will listen to my eldest brother."

"General, I'm willing to follow the general."

"General, Yuan Lao Gou sent us to die, why should we die for it."

…… All the generals under Gao Quansheng heard Xue Wanche's previous words, and as soon as they saw Gao Quansheng riding his horse back, they all hugged him, and they all talked nonsense, and everyone's faces were full of survival.

Gao Quansheng is not a greedy person who is afraid of death, this time he went out of the city to attack the camp, he also had the will to die, he had the intention to die to martyrdom, but he could not die, and who was really willing to go to the road of death, not to mention that he could not die, but he could also keep his home and country, Gao Quansheng would inevitably have the idea of being moved, but he was not fully sure of Li Zhen's remarks in his heart, and he didn't know how to prescribe himself for a while, and he raised his hand, suppressed the words of the generals, hooked his head, and pondered silently.

"Big brother, I think that Li Zhen, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, will never talk nonsense in front of so many scholars in the two armies, big brother, time is running out, you hurry up and decide."

Seeing that time passed minute by minute, but Gao Quansheng was speechless, Gao Quanming couldn't help but be anxious, grabbed Gao Quansheng's arm, and said anxiously.

Gao Quansheng raised his head when he heard this, looked around at the generals around him, and saw that everyone was looking forward to life, and his heart rolled through a burst of sadness, shook his head, closed his eyes, and said weakly: "That's it, put down your weapons and surrender." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officers and soldiers who had escaped death cheered, threw down their swords one after another, turned over and dismounted their horses, and stood aside in formation, waiting for the Tang troops around them to come and collect.

"Du Zhengxin."

Xue Wanche was full of hope that Gao Quansheng could resist to the death, but when he saw that Gao Quansheng's department had already disarmed, he was helpless, pursed his lips disdainfully, and with a wave of his hand, summoned Du Zhengxin to the front.

"The end will be."

Du Zhengxin also hoped to get some military exploits from Gao Quansheng, but at this time, he saw that there was no chance, and his heart was not happy, but Xue Wanche named him, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to the front of the horse and answered the promise loudly.

"Immediately take these people into the camp and take care of them."

Xue Wanche waved his hand boringly, hurriedly explained, and then hurried towards the city wall.

"General Gao, please come with so-and-so."

Du Zhengxin was expecting to be able to participate in the bookstore and siege battles, but as soon as he heard that he let him take care of Gao Quansheng, he was depressed and went home, waiting to say a thing or two, but unfortunately Xue Wanche had already gone away, and in desperation, he had to ride a horse to Gao Quansheng's side with a black face, waved his hand, and commanded calmly.

"General Xie."

Gao Quansheng had already decided to surrender, and he did not dare to offend Du Zhengxin, at this time, seeing Du Zhengxin's unhappy face, he did not dare to do more, respectfully responded to the promise, and silently followed Du Zhengxin to the direction of the Tang army camp.

As soon as Gao Quansheng surrendered, the Tang Xin coalition army that had besieged his headquarters immediately withdrew from the siege and joined the ranks of attacking Pyongyang City, so that the pressure on the city defense suddenly increased a lot, and Shengsheng made the Yuan boy, who was commanding the battle, feel the pressure, and had to fill in batch after batch of reserves on the head of the city, and a bloody offensive and defensive battle began......
