It is no wonder that in history, after Uncle Li conquered Liaodong and got the tiger general Xue Rengui, he did not release him, but asked him to guard the Xuanwu Gate, and once he guarded it, he guarded the Xuanwu Gate for twelve and a half years. In the end, it was Li Zhi's little kid who activated him, and he had already learned how to restrain his spleen surname, and he was more persevering to achieve the prestige of the famous General Xue!

On the side, Su Dingfang, who was singing with a red face, appeared on the stage, he cleared his throat, served Xue Rengui a glass of water, and then looked serious: "Brother Rengui, you have the courage to be unstoppable, no one can deny this, the general is outside, the military order is not subject to it, this point, everyone also understands that generals have always been decisive when they fight, and there is really nothing wrong with what you do......"

When Xue Rengui drank the water, Su Dingfang's tone changed: "However, it also depends on when, now I have a strong city in my hands, and I defend the city according to it, just to reduce the casualties of our soldiers, but you abandon it and fight the enemy with the flesh and blood of hundreds of soldiers, this is your mistake, and it is also for your own good, otherwise, if it is against Lao Su's spleen, dozens of military sticks will be thrown at you on the spot." ”

Xue Rengui was silent for a long time, Fang Zi turned around and knelt down directly opposite me, and gave a deep salute: "Master's heartfelt words, students remember it in their hearts, great grace is not thanks, please see Rengui's performance in the future!" ”

"Get up, know that you can change your mistakes, and you will be a husband. Brother Rengui, although you and I are called master and apprentice, we are really brothers, I only hope that you can go further and expand the great cause for my Datang! However, because of your mistake, the students of our academy died in vain, and this crime can only be punished according to military law, even if you are in the army. I sincerely replied to Xue Rengui and said.

Xue Rengui also felt a little heavy about the death of his subordinates caused by his good deeds: "The students are willing to be dealt with by military law." ”

"Brother Jun, you are ......" Su Dingfang was a little puzzled when he heard me say this, he was afraid that I thought that I was just calling Xue Rengui to reprimand him so that he would not lose face.

I turned my head and looked at Su Dingfang and smiled: "More than thirty students, just because of the temporary negligence of the generals, they disregarded their surnames, can I destroy my Tang military law for personal friendship?" What if someone does the same? I asked Brother Rengui to come here and persuade him, precisely for personal friendship, but military law cannot be abolished, and since the matter has happened, we must have the courage to bear the corresponding responsibility.

----------------------------------------------------Back then, His Majesty should say that he was the party of benevolence, and even in the end, he tearfully begged the ministers to let the guilty heroes live and be themselves." His Majesty is still like this, as a courtier, if he is so favoritistic, how can we be worthy of those dead soldiers, as well as the national law and military discipline we maintain. ”

Su Dingfang glanced at me deeply, and bowed to me: "Today, Su knows the ambition of a virtuous brother!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't bury your little brother, my famous general. Brother Rengui, after this battle, how about your punishment? I turned back to Xue Rengui and said, Xue Rengui bowed his head and listened to the order with a convincing face: "Listen to the general's orders." ”

At this time, Pei Xingjian, who was excited, had already walked into the house. "What are you doing here?" Pei Xingjian didn't know what happened just now, but asked us suspiciously.

Su Dingfang turned around and smiled: "It's okay, it's just chatting, but how did you go to interrogate that guy, and what did you find out?" ”

"The trial came out, his name is Gao Jingwen, he is a general, he was ordered by Quangai Suwen to command 10,000 troops to seize the water gate, he said, Quangai Suwen personally commanded 50,000 elite soldiers, and they were only more than ten miles away." Pei Xingjian hurriedly told the news he heard.

"Then you asked him if there was any movement of the Tang army on the other side?" I asked next, Pei Xingjian nodded, and then shook his head and said: "He said that the Tang army camp opposite is still the same as before, but there is an accident in their own camp, and the military hearts of many soldiers have been dispersed, if it were not for Quangai Suwen forcibly suppressed, the new king Gaozang comforted more, and threatened that it was just a small number of Tang troops smuggled into Sashui to the east and attacked the city to attract the army back to help, so the elite of Quangai Suwen's pro-unified army wanted to recapture the capital in one fell swoop, otherwise, after a few days, the 200,000 army could only open their mouths to the northwest. ”

"Open your mouth to the northwest? Hahaha, it's a good description of frugality. Su Dingfang grinned happily. Xue Rengui and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Good! Since they are all here, let's fight him well, Xue Rengui, you lead a thousand good shooters, to the location in the city to inform Xi Junmai, you two go together to help the navy to guard the waterway, although they were captured by a general, but the strength is still there, 10,000 people come to attack the waterway, they can figure it out. I sneered, "There are many people who have a lot of fart. The ten building ships are not vegetarians, there are countless bows and crossbows on them, plus Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui's two thousand shooters rushed over, it is enough to defend the waterway.

As for the frontal enemy, we are not afraid, not to mention the 40,000 elites coming, even if it is twice as much, it will still not be able to capture the city we defend.

Half an hour later, the south of the city waterway really killed the sky, countless rockets flew all over the sky, like the summer night of the fireflies like the four fled, I stood on the city gate tower, looking at the skyrocketing firelight, in the telescope, you can see, the bow and crossbow shooting of the Tang Navy in the building ship is like a wholesale, batch after batch of rockets are fiercely submerged into the darkness, but due to the topography, I can only see the towering building boat, as for the river bank and the river surface can not be seen at all, however, I am relieved to see this scene, If they can't resist it, there are another 3,000 elites in the city who can support them at any time.

And most of us here do not need to be on night patrol, and the soldiers who are leaning at the foot of the city wall to seize the time to rest heard the movement over there, and they can't help but stand up and watch.

The earth-shattering shouts continued for half an hour, when a sergeant who was patrolling the city walls suddenly shouted: "Enemy! The enemy has been discovered! ”

I was shocked, rushed forward a few steps to take a look, and couldn't help but gasp, fuck, that guy really didn't lie, just under the moonlight, in the open field outside the west gate of the Goguryeo capital, countless dense human heads, almost filled that open field. With the help of the moonlight in the sky, I could even see the countless siege equipment such as the towering building cars of the other party, and it seemed that Quangai Suwen had really made a lot of money.

"Damn, I'm afraid there are no less than 70,000 or 80,000 people here. It seems that they are afraid that they have moved all the ordnance that was originally placed on the bank of the river to deal with His Majesty's army. Su Dingfang spat fiercely with a pale face.

"Tell all the artillerymen that their target is those building cars, and they must knock out those dozens of building cars for me, go quickly!" Lao Tzu is not a fool, if you don't interrupt their rhythm and formation now, when the time comes, it will be us who will be sad. However, the artillery is pressed in the safest corner, and the ceiling is covered, which greatly protects the personal safety of the artillerymen.

---------------------------------------------------- soldiers were already in their places, and stood behind the female wall of the city, more than 10,000 soldiers, all bent their bows and arrows, waiting for orders. At this time, I held a telescope and silently measured the distance between the two sides, and finally, I opened my mouth: "Artillery fire!" ”

The hand-to-hand commander waved the torch in his hand and gave instructions, boom! Rumble! Rumble! The slow, dull sound of cannon resounded through the field. The flames were so dazzling at night, and with a whistling sound, cannonballs rained on the heads of the Goguryeo, cracking, exploding, tearing apart everything around them.

At this time, the army of Goguryeo resounded with the sound of drums, and the originally scattered ranks seemed to stagnate slightly, and then, the soldiers carried ladders, pushed building carts, siege vehicles and other siege equipment, and howled forward like madmen. In the first few rows, there are soldiers holding shields.

Accompanied by the sound of snare drums, countless archers on the city wall leaned forward to draw their bows, and with the command to loosen their fingers, the arrows rained down like locusts and swarmed the enemy, and countless blood sprays appeared. The screaming and charging soldier fell to the ground screaming as he ran, and countless companions continued to mechanically repeat the movements of their dead companions...... Under the blows of nearly five rounds of arrows and artillery, almost none of Goguryeo's chariots survived, and all of them were turned into a pile of ruins. The soldiers threw down the ladder and fled backwards screaming and embarrassed.

However, this is just the beginning, sure enough, after a pillar of incense, the second wave of Goguryeo's attack began, summing up the last experience of the Goguryeo soldiers The speed is faster than just now, no longer crowded together, but regularly dispersed, in this way, the injuries caused by bows and arrows and artillery have been greatly reduced, and this time, the siege of Goguryeo soldiers has a large number of archers, constantly bending to fight back, although it is very difficult to shoot from the bottom to the top, however, it still has considerable lethality, very quickly, We've already started to have casualties......
