The rain of arrows fell, there were still a lot of charging soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows, but the ladder did not stop at all, the soldiers in front fell, the soldiers in the back immediately went up, carrying the ladder to the city wall, the artillery still kept roaring, the defenders on the Jian'an city wall were still frightened by the artillery, unable to prevent the effective attack, clang, one by one the ladders were erected on the city wall, the charging soldiers rushed to climb the ladder, climbed to the city, in the large array of the Chinese army, Li Er saw that the soldiers set up the ladder so quickly, couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Yes, yes! The power of artillery is really powerful! ”

Xu Shiji next to him said with a smile.

"There has been a panic on the city, otherwise this arrow would not have been shot like this, if this is because the artillery appeared on the battlefield for the first time, the defenders on the city wall were suppressed, and then when attacking the city in the future, it may not play such a big role, of course, artillery is worthy of being a siege weapon, with the help of artillery, the difficulty of attacking the city is greatly reduced!"

Li Er said with a smile.

"Mao Gong said it makes sense, artillery appeared on the battlefield for the first time, so the enemy was frightened, so scared that he didn't even dare to let go of the arrows, these all know, even so can be seen that artillery is really a sharp weapon for attacking the city, I don't want to sleep outside the city today, pass on the military order, and we must break through Jian'an City today!"

Xu Shiji laughed and said nothing, since the Shenji Battalion has blasted out such a good situation, if it can't attack Jian'an City today, it will be a dereliction of duty of the vanguard, Jin Shengman looked at the city wall in front of him blankly, knowing that he has not come back to his senses now, when the artillery roared for the first time, she was directly frightened and exclaimed, and then she stayed there, because she heard the discussion of the soldiers next to her, that is, the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, which was built by the Rongfu County Gong, and the artillery created by Su Cheng, The power of the artillery is so powerful, not only Jin Shengman looked at the city wall in front of him blankly, even Jin Wenzhi looked at the city wall in front of him blankly for a long time and did not come back to his senses, he was shocked even more, this way of marching, Jin Wenzhi did not think that Su Cheng could play much role in the Eastern Crusade, because he did not hear that Su Cheng was also good at the art of war, but he did not expect that just after the first battle in Liaodong, he was suppressed by the Shenji Battalion, when he was in Chang'an, he had heard the name of the Shenji Battalion, Naturally, he also heard that the people in the market blew the artillery and muskets fiercely, but in his heart he felt that he had blown too much, exaggerating, and now he saw the power of the artillery on the battlefield, he realized that although there were few soldiers and horses in the Shenji Battalion, it could play a vital role in this crusade, because the power of artillery was too great, and this was simply a weapon for attacking the city! With artillery, what kind of city can't be breached? No matter how thick the city wall is, no matter how high the city wall is, it can't withstand the bombardment of artillery! No wonder the Tang Emperor only brought 150,000 soldiers and horses, it turned out that there was a big killer weapon like artillery, and it was not a problem to attack the city at all, and he also discovered that artillery is not only powerful in attacking the city, but also used to defend the city! With such a long range and such a great power, what would it be like if it was erected on the city wall? If they had such artillery on the walls of Silla, would the Goguryeo army still be able to win consecutive battles all the way? If there is artillery, they Silla are not afraid of the attack of the Goguryeo army at all, as long as they are strictly defended, they will consume the Goguryeo army, but it's a pity! Jin Wenzhi, who came back to his senses, listened to the roaring cannons, looked at the miserable city wall, and couldn't help but shine in his eyes, thinking in his heart, if he could ask Datang for artillery, he would no longer have to worry about Goguryeo's attack in the future, Jin Shengman, who had been staring at the city wall in a daze, shouted in surprise.

"Look, you've taken the city! Storm the city! ”

Jin Wenzhi hurriedly looked at the city, and sure enough, he found that there were already Tang soldiers attacking the city, and there was a steady stream of Tang soldiers attacking the city, the sound of artillery finally stopped, and the soldiers of the three armies all broke out into cheers, and the city wall was already in chaos, more and more cloud ladders were erected on the city wall, more and more soldiers attacked the city wall, and the guards on the city wall held long knives and shouted.

"Brothers, kill! Kill the enemy and retreat! ”

However, the defenders on the city wall are retreating in a hurry, the guards' eyes are red, the king's will to tell the whole Liaodong, since he knew that the Tang Emperor wanted to drive the imperial expedition, he has been preparing to resist the Tang army, and he is full of confidence to prepare, in the recital to the king, he made a military order, at least stick to Jian'an City for a month, but now, he was dumbfounded, he never thought that this was the first day of defending the city, the Tang army actually attacked the city, shouldn't this be a month later? Why did the Tang army attack the city on the first day? Not only did the Tang army attack the city, but also looked like this, the city was almost undefensible, how could he not panic? If he lost Jian'an City on the first day, then what face would he have to say goodbye to Goguryeo's father? What face do you have to say goodbye to the king? So he rushed forward directly with a knife, he wanted to take the lead in boosting morale, and led his own soldiers to repel the enemy.

"Brothers, rush! Kill this group of bitches, behind you are your relatives, Jian'an City must not be lost! ”

The general took the lead in the slaughter with his own soldiers, and his combat power was very strong, and he inspired the morale of the surrounding soldiers, but he killed the Tang army that attacked the city, and he was about to kill the Tang army, the general looked around, and couldn't help but feel sad from it, the whole city has blossomed in all directions, and at a cursory glance, there have been seven or eight places that have been broken by the Tang army, and the defenders are retreating, obviously he is completely prepared, why did the first day of defending the city come to such a difficult point? Because of the artillery! It's because of those rumbling artillery! Because of these artillery, the morale of the soldiers was completely lost, so it was so easy for the enemy to attack the city, and the enemy was killed and retreated, looking at the defenders who were losing and retreating everywhere, the general was a little desperate in his heart, even if he wanted to put out the fire everywhere, he was helpless! What is the use of killing a Tang army, but more Tang troops rushing up? Could it be that Jian'an City really couldn't hold it on the first day? The general looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling guilt, despair and grievance in his heart, the defeat of defending the city was by no means his incompetence, it was not that the soldiers were not brave, but that he was caught off guard by artillery, this is not a crime of war! Originally, the defenders were demoralized by the artillery, although now the artillery has stopped attacking, but seeing that the Tang army has begun to seize the city, they are even more panicked.

"General! Checkmate! Can't hold it! The city is about to be broken, so get out of here! If you don't withdraw, you won't be able to leave! ”

The soldiers persuaded him, and the guards listened to the tragic words.

"Let's go? Where to go? I have failed the king's expectations, what face do I have to go? I have no shame to see the king again, and I have no shame to see the elders of Liaodong, what face do I have to live in the world? ”

After saying that, the guard immediately killed himself with a horizontal sword, and the soldiers next to him couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him.

"General! No! By all means, it's all because the Tang Army is too treacherous and cunning, it's all because the artillery is too powerful, it's not the general's sin! The general should be useful and tell the other cities about the power of the artillery, so that they can be prepared, and the general should be guilty of meritorious service! ”

The guard put down the knife in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"You are right, I must tell other guards about the situation of the Tang Army, so as not to repeat the mistakes of other cities, and besides, the Tang Army is menacing, and the imperial court is the time to employ people, so I should be guilty of making meritorious contributions!"

The soldiers hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, General, let's go!"

The guard waved his sword and said loudly.

"Let's go! Come out of the city with me! ”

The defeat was like a mountain, the Tang army continued to rush up the city wall, and began to rush to the city, finally, the city gate was opened, seeing the soldiers rushing to the city, Li Er knew that he would be able to break through Jian'an City today, but he didn't expect that it only took half a day to break through, and I don't know whether the artillery was too fierce, or the defenders of Jian'an City couldn't help fighting.

"Enlightened saint, there is a defeated army that has escaped from the western gate!"

The scouts rushed to report.

"Order Captain Chi Gong to immediately lead the cavalry in pursuit, and order Li Xiaogong's troops to immediately enter the city to clear the remnants of the enemy!"

Li Er said in a deep voice, the drums and horns were contending, the horses' hooves were like thunder, and Jin Shengman said in a daze with a hint of incredulity on his face.

"Is this the city?"

Jin Wenzhi's face was very complicated, and he sighed.

"Isn't it going to break the city! The city gates were opened, and there were only 30,000 defenders in the city, and the wolf-like 150,000 troops rushed in, and the result was doomed, and the west gate had been defeated and fled, so it can be seen that the defenders in the city had no morale. ”

"It only took half a day to break through Jian'an City!"

Jin Shengman's face suddenly bloomed with a beautiful smile, originally on the way she prayed, praying that the Tang army could break through Jian'an City in only one or two days, and even when she prayed, she didn't dare to pray that the Tang Army would break through Jian'an City in only half a day, this is really incredible, Jin Wenzhi sighed with emotion.

"I can only say that this cannon is really powerful!"

Jin Shengman nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, the artillery of the Shenji Battalion is too powerful, with this cannon, the Tang army can attack the city all the way, and Goguryeo Yan is not afraid? will definitely let Yuangai Suwen return to Liaodong, Jincheng will be saved, and Silla will be saved. ”

Jin Wenzhi nodded.

"However, with the artillery of the Shenji battalion, it is not difficult for the Tang army to break through Liaodong City, as long as Liaodong City is breached, Goguryeo will be shaken, and Yuangai Suwen can only lead his troops back to Liaodong, and the danger of our Silla annihilation will be lifted."

Jin Shengman clasped his hands to his chest and muttered.

"Sister Wang, you must defend Jincheng! As long as you hold on for a few more days, and if you hold on for a few more days, the Tang army will be able to break through Liaodong City! ”

At this moment, Jin Wenzhi's heart has completely calmed down, and after this battle, he has already understood that their Silla will definitely be saved, even if Jincheng falls? In the face of the attack of the Tang army, Goguryeo was also unable to occupy Silla, so he could only hastily retreat back to Liaodong, what he was most worried about before was the combat strength of the Tang army, since the Tang army only took half a day to capture Jian'an City, then he was completely relieved, Jin Wenzhi smiled and comforted.

"Rest assured, princess, even if Yuangai Suwen captures Jincheng, in the face of the Tang army's offensive, he will not be able to occupy it, and he can only retreat in the end, so, no matter what, our Silla will be saved!"

Jin Shengman smiled with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"That's great! That's great! ”

"Has the princess ever thought about what would happen if Goguryeo attacked our Silla again after the Tang Dynasty retreated?"

Jin Wenzhi asked meaningfully, Jin Shengman was slightly stunned when he heard it, and then said as a matter of course.

"Then ask Datang to send troops again!"

Jin Wenzhi shook his head slightly.

"Next time, who knows if Datang will send troops? Even if Datang sends troops next time, what about next time? You can't always pin your hopes on Datang's troops, right? ”

Jin Shengman wondered.

"What does Kim-sama mean? After this battle, our dynasty will naturally be fierce! ”

Get ready to fight? How useful is it? Jin Wenzhi said in a low voice.

"Princess, this cannon can not only attack the city, but also defend the city! As long as this cannon is erected on the top of the city, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it will not be able to break it! If we Silla can have artillery, do we still need to be afraid of Goguryeo to attack? ”

Jin Shengman's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard it, right! She has seen the power of the cannon with her own eyes, it is because of the cannon that the Tang army only took half a day to break through Jian'an City, and Jin Wenzhi is right, the cannon can not help but be used to siege the city, and can also be used to defend the city, if they Silla can have cannons, then there is indeed no need to be afraid of Goguryeo's attack, and then Jin Shengman couldn't help but look dark and hesitated.

"With such a divine weapon, how can Datang give us Silla?"

Jin Wenzhi said in a low voice.

"Indeed, such a divine weapon is the reliance and deterrent of the Tang Dynasty, of course the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers don't want to give it to others, but has the princess forgotten that this cannon was made by the Rongfu County Gong!"

Jin Shengman hesitated.

"What does Lord Jin mean, is it to let the Rongfu County Duke give us artillery? However, doesn't this make it difficult for the Rongfu County Prince? The Duke of Yeongfu has a great kindness to our Silla, isn't that right? ”

Jin Wenzhi said in a low voice.

"No, why do you need the prince of Rongfu to give us Silla cannons? This cannon was made by the Rongfu Gun, as long as the Rongfu Gun Gong can give the princess a trick in it, we also have skilled craftsmen in Silla, and we can also make a cannon! ”

"Princess, this is a matter of our Silla safety and millions of Silla people! The princess thinks about it, how many people died tragically under the butcher's knife of Goguryeo in this Goguryeo invasion? If there were cannons, our people of Goguryeo would not have to suffer such a disaster again! ”

She knew that this matter would definitely make Su Cheng embarrassed, but when she thought that this would affect thousands of Silla people, Jin Shengman nodded slightly.

"The prince of Rongfu may not agree, I'll give it a try!"
