Chapter 585: Cavalry Raid (Summoning Monthly Pass)

The artillery on the top of the city roared wildly, and each bombardment caused confusion among the Goguryeo army, and the continuous bombardment also hurt their command system, and their drums became messy.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers at the head of the city just tried their best to shoot arrows downward, and they didn't need you to aim at all, and they didn't have the time to aim, and a large number of arrows were consumed, but it didn't matter, the large number of arrows stored in the capital of Goguryeo was enough for us to shoot for more than ten days.

However, soon, there were already siege trucks to reach the city wall, with the password, began to move in the direction of the doorway, with the change of order, a large number of logs, rolling stones were thrown down, smashed on the roof of the siege vehicle, not long after, the first siege vehicle fell apart, followed by the second, the third...... The boiling oil poured down from the city, causing the Goguryeo soldiers below to let out inhuman howls and screams. The attack lasted about two quarters of an hour, but it was still retreated.

Every time I shot an arrow, I would mutter, probably counting how many Goguryeo soldiers he had shot. I also breathed a sigh of relief, although these two waves of attacks seemed to be in danger, no Goguryeo people could climb to the top of the city, but it was enough for me to understand the tragedy of the siege war, if it wasn't for the artillery that destroyed most of the opponent's siege equipment first, I was afraid that this would have fallen into a vicious battle, I turned around and immediately ordered the heralds, tell the artillery, save ammunition, if Uncle Li they didn't receive the message from our side, and they didn't notice the movement of the Goguryeo camp, it is very likely, We will have to fight the madness of Goguryeo alone for at least two days.

Sure enough, the Goguryeo people, who had been frustrated again, still did not give up, and half an hour later, the third wave of attacks came. With the sound of war drums, the Goguryeo attacked again, and the tactics were still the same. The archers are under the cover of the shield, vainly trying to suppress the archers on the city wall, however, in the face of our condescending elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the small area of the round shield and the temporary square shield defense effect is very limited, perhaps it should be said that the psychological comfort effect is greater, in addition to the shield bearers and archers, followed by the infantry carrying the ladder and rushing to the city again frantically, trying to climb the city wall with the help of the ladder to fight with us hand-to-hand.

---------------------------------------------------- perhaps the Goguryeo people did not expect that the building carts they brought would be destroyed without any effect, and the improvised siege vehicles would also be destroyed, which was their last and most effective method.

There were no less than 30,000 Goguryeo people rushing up this wave, and the number of archers greatly increased, and the leading generals roared hoarsely, directing and coordinating the actions of the soldiers.

"Raise your bow, shoot!" There was a nervous shout, and the locust-like arrows came straight towards the wall. The salvo of thousands of bows and arrows was quite powerful, and although it was fired from the back under the threat of our archers, the strength and accuracy were greatly reduced, but it still temporarily suppressed our attack. After a few volleys, hundreds of archers at the head of the wall had fallen, although most of them were only wounded by arrows, but the medics still dutifully carried the dead and wounded away from the city walls as quickly as possible, rushed to the houses under the city, and handed over to the military doctors for treatment, and those who were slightly wounded, after the medical guards' hasty disinfection and hemostatic bandaging, gritted their teeth and picked up the blood-stained bows and arrows and continued to shoot until they fell down again.

The rain of arrows is so crazy up and down staggered shooting at each other, at this time, there are already more than ten ladders on the city wall, the Goguryeo soldiers below howl excitedly, there are already people with a shield in one hand to protect their heads and faces, one hand holding the ladder to start the city operation, behind them, the Goguryeo archers seem to have been inspired by the actions of their companions to their courage to resist, roaring, desperately pulling their bows and shooting, the arrows that rise in the air seem to have become denser than just now, they also understand very well, They must exert all their strength to completely suppress the Tang soldiers on the wall, before climbing the city wall, the soldiers on the ladder are extremely vulnerable, if they can't suppress the enemy on the wall, the soldiers on the ladder are the fat meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered.

However, if they can climb to the top of the city so easily, then we, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, will not be called elite, just dig a hole and bury themselves, every three or four soldiers pick up a long pole, resist the horizontal step of the ladder, and exert their strength together, stride forward with gritted teeth, the ladder was pushed away from the city wall, gradually stood up, and then slowly fell backwards, the Goguryeo soldiers who were about to climb to the end of the ladder widened their eyes in fear, threw away the shields and weapons in their hands, and dragged the ladder to death, Screaming helplessly, he fell backwards as the ladder fell, slamming the ground or in the crowd.

In the eyes of ordinary people, in a siege, the defender should be the one who can be covered by tall and strong walls, but veterans of the battle will tell you: in a siege, most of the time the advantage is the attacker - the defender can repel the enemy a hundred times, but if one defeat fails, the whole city is finished; And the attacker attacks a hundred times, and if only one succeeds, he succeeds.

At this moment, the Goguryeo people were betting on whether they could become the lucky one percent, and they still stubbornly lifted the ladder to climb up again, but they didn't have a chance, because we wouldn't let them have such a chance. The arrows from the side made the Goguryeo people who climbed the ladder hopelessly let go of the hand holding the shield, and tried to pull out the arrow that pierced into the waist and abdomen, and then the arrow shot down directly from the top pierced the brain, and he twitched slightly, and turned over the two companions under him like a mass of dead objects, and smashed them to the ground together.

At this time, Su Dingfang had already patrolled from the other side of the city wall, and met me at the city tower, and General Su Ming carried the bloodstained horse lance upside down, and poured a few mouthfuls of water viciously before panting: "Elite, definitely the last elite of Goguryeo, such a desperate momentum, is about to catch up with our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty." ”

I took off my helmet and wiped the sweat on my face and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the old boy Quangai Suwen is gritting his teeth and bloody, taking back this capital, getting back the grain and grass, they may still have the strength to fight with my Datang, Quangai Suwen is white in this truth, so he is afraid that he left all the old and weak soldiers in the camp, and all the strong soldiers he brought are the last strong soldiers of Goguryeo, let's use the capital of Goguryeo as a grinding plate, and grind it with them well, and see in the end, it is our grinding plate that can't bite these fine stones, Let's grind this old boy from Quangai Suwen into bean juice. ”

"Hey, hey! Lao Su loves to listen to this, rest assured, even if he fights to the last soldier, Quangai Suwen also wants to recapture the capital, I said Brother Jun, when will our cavalry go? ”

---------------------------------------------------- I looked up at the sky, the east was already faint, and I estimated the hour, probably now it was already the middle of the day. "Hold for a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, let the cavalry gate go out from the north gate, attack directly, and enter through the south gate, and then let the reserve team come up by the way, and also withdraw the soldiers who had been tired all night to rest. Brother Dingfang, how about leaving this matter to Pei Xingjian? ”

"Okay, let Pei Lao Er do this, old brother, I will continue to patrol over there, hand it over to him, and let him make a meritorious service, so as not to say all day long that my Lao Su presses him and doesn't let him show around." Hahaha......" Su Dingfang laughed and put on his helmet, lifted his horse lance and walked forward loudly, inspiring the morale of the soldiers.

This is the most common technique used by the Tang Dynasty soldiers to defend the city, however, it is very easy to use, because no one can guess when the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will suddenly attack out of the city, at present, the battle is in full swing, and the vigilance of the Goguryeo army has been reduced to the minimum.

I walked down the city tower, rode on a horse and rushed towards the city, and arrived at the open area in the city, at this time, Pei Xingjian was commanding the three thousand Tang soldiers to sort out the belly belt of the mount, adjust the horse harness, polish the weapons in their hands, and prepare to fight at any time.

"How's Brother Xingjian? How's the preparation? I jumped off my horse and asked Pei Xingjian, who was walking towards me.

"It's ready to go. Our 3,000 people, but we have rested peacefully for the night, and we are guaranteed to give the Goguryeo people a big surprise. Pei Xingjian's face was excited, and a blood-devouring cold glint flashed in his eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, the north gate suddenly opened, and the sudden plagiarism of the three thousand Tang iron cavalry made the Goguryeo people's original crazy offensive was violently impacted, and the three thousand iron cavalry under the leadership of Pei Xingjian, directly along the side of the city wall, with a cross-section of more than 100 meters, copied and killed, and soon, the Tang archers at the head of the city put the target into a distance of 100 meters, which not only prevented accidental injury to their own people, but also better protected the three thousand Tang iron horses.

The sabre and lance were like the fierce fangs of the beast's crazy and extremely open bloody mouth, frantically biting the creatures in front of them that were blocking their progress, and soon, the original courage of the Goguryeo people was frightened by the sudden arrival of three thousand iron horsemen, and then, the fear of the Tang cavalry, which was devouring their flesh and life viciously, spread like a plague among the siege troops, and the archers at the head of the city were reinforced. In the end, when Pei Xingjian's cavalry reached the West Gate, the Goguryeo army only had the idea of fleeing for their lives in their heads, and they threw down the ladder, screaming and crying and scattering into the distance, leaving the corpses of the Goguryeo soldiers on the ground...... --------------------
