In the future, the atmosphere of Gaimu City also became tense all of a sudden, and because Jian'an City was broken by the Tang Army in less than a day, the defenders in the city also unconsciously produced pressure in their hearts, compared to the pressure of the defenders in Gaimu City, the mood of the Tang Dynasty soldiers was much more relaxed, before the expedition, although the soldiers had the confidence to win, but they inevitably felt that this would be a hard battle, but they did not expect that not only half a day to lay down Jian'an City, although this does not represent the combat power of the Goguryeo people, It also greatly reduced the pressure in their hearts, the Goguryeo people are just like that, I really don't know why the former Sui raised millions of troops but returned in vain, the army drove into Gaimu City, in view of the huge role played by the Shenji Battalion yesterday, the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the three armies have also changed, although the officers and soldiers of the three armies attached great importance to the Shenji Battalion before, that was because the general of the Shenji Battalion was Li Yong, and because the emperor valued the Shenji Battalion very much, and yesterday the Shenji Battalion completely proved itself.

"Brother of the Shenji Battalion, you have to take it easy when you attack the city tomorrow!"

"yes, yes, give us a chance to perform! Otherwise, this battle will be too boring! ”

"Haha, in the words of our grandfather, although we also want to keep a low profile, but the strength allows it!"

For the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, this is undoubtedly a day of raising eyebrows, the smoke and dust are all over the sky, the alarm bell of Gaimu City is ringing, everyone in the city understands when they hear the alarm bell, this day is finally coming, the Tang Army is finally here, the army of more than 100,000 people is overwhelming, it does give people great pressure, but the guard Li Zhitong stands on the city wall and is full of pride, he has made up his mind in his heart, at least to hold on for a month, as long as he holds on for a month and then retreats back to Liaodong City, then he is the hero of Goguryeo, Especially in the case of Song Ruiyuan, the guard of Jian'an City, it is simply the most extreme comparison, Song Ruiyuan pointed to the front and said loudly.

"Look there, look there, that's Datang's artillery!"

Li Zhitong immediately looked in the direction pointed by Song Ruiyuan, but unfortunately, because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly, but Li Zhitong was still very surprised, because the artillery he imagined before was similar to a trebuchet, and it was a very huge trebuchet, but it didn't seem to be the case, the so-called artillery was not as huge as imagined, and it looked a bit harmless to humans and animals.

"That's artillery? Is it really as powerful as you say? ”

Li Zhitong asked suspiciously, he now has some doubts in his heart, is what Song Ruiyuan said true? This is no longer an exaggeration, but too much exaggeration, Song Ruiyuan nodded again and again.

"That's right! It looks weird, it doesn't seem to be anything powerful, but it's really not good-looking! Be careful! ”

Be careful? That's it? Need to be careful? Li Zhitong just nodded, but there was a look of doubt on his face, Song Ruiyuan suddenly couldn't see the disapproval on Li Zhitong's face, at this time he was also a little complicated in his heart, on the one hand, as a Goguryeo, he really didn't want Gai Mu Cheng to repeat the mistakes of the past, and hoped that Gai Mu City could hold on as long as possible, on the other hand, Song Ruiyuan was a little selfish, if Gai Mu City also fell quickly, then his guilt would be much less, because that showed that it was indeed not that he was incompetent, and moreover, it could also make Li Zhitong, who had always doubted him, feel it, At that time, Li Zhitong's face must have been very good-looking, and he Song Ruiyuan lost Jian'an City so quickly because it was too sudden, but Li Zhitong was different! And he sent a message! If he is prepared and loses quickly, then Li Zhitong's guilt is heavier than him, although he has this selfishness, but after Song Ruiyuan took a long breath, he still said loudly.

"Brother Li! Brother Li! Be careful! Let's let the soldiers plug their ears! ”

Li Zhitong suddenly turned his head and looked around and asked.

"Brother, don't keep yelling, this will affect the morale of the army, don't worry! I have already reminded the soldiers that we will be able to hold out for a month in the city of Gaimu, don't you say? ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Vow to defend Gaimu City!"

"Vow to defend Gaimu City!"

Song Ruiyuan couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, because he felt familiar, when he was in Jian'an City the day before yesterday, the soldiers under him were also so confident and so morale-driven, but it's a pity! When the roar sounded, all the morale disappeared, but Song Ruiyuan didn't say anything, but clenched the single knife in his hand, only hoping to be able to fight happily today, Li Zhitong patrolled the city wall, constantly boosting morale, at this moment, the drums and horns sounded in the distance, Li Yong sat on Xiaohong's back, and said in a deep voice.

"Adjust the muzzle."

"Report! The muzzle has been adjusted! ”

"Ready, fire!"

The staff general of the artillery battalion immediately waved down the flag of command, and suddenly a hundred artillery pieces fired in unison, and for a while, the heavens and the earth were silent, and the shells whined...... The sound flew towards the city wall with flames, even if all the defenders of Gaimu City already knew that the sound of artillery was like thunder, but the defenders on the city wall still couldn't help but be stunned, because this sound was too loud, not only loud, but also a kind of power that directly hit people's hearts, not only the power of hitting people's hearts, the power of the cannonballs falling on the city wall was also huge, and the damage caused was very terrifying, unlike bows, arrows, knives and guns falling so neatly, the cannonballs fell that were really severed limbs flying, Even if it is far away, it is possible to jump on the face of blood and even brain and intestines, it is too cruel, too scary, the artillery roared in bursts, giving the defenders of Gaimu City a great deterrent, if it is just like thunder, it is not terrible, because the thunder will not fall, will not kill, will not destroy the city wall, but the artillery will! The defenders who laughed at Jian'an City at the beginning were not as good as the girls of the Gaimu City soldiers couldn't help but hide in the bunker of the city wall with pale faces at this moment, Li Zhitong's face was also a little pale, and it was only at this moment that he sincerely felt what artillery was, it turned out that this was artillery, but he couldn't think about it, because the Tang army under the city had already begun to charge with a ladder.

"Archer, quick! Get ready! The enemy army has begun to attack the city! ”

"Quick, stand up with your bow and arrows!"

Li Zhitong ran on the city wall, constantly shouting, with Song Ruiyuan's reminder, the defenders of Gaimu City had been psychologically prepared, so although they were also shocked by the artillery, they were not completely frightened like the defenders of Jian'an City, although their hearts were terrified, but the archers on the city wall still had the courage to start shooting arrows, and a round of arrow rain fell from the city, bringing a lot of casualties to the soldiers besieging the city! Although the rain of arrows fell on the charging soldiers brought a lot of casualties, but the charging soldiers still beat the blood of chickens one by one, the front soldiers carried a thick wooden board to fill up the ravine trap in front, and the back soldiers carried the ladder to run, if the front soldier fell with an arrow, there were immediately the back soldiers on top, the front and the followers.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The whole battlefield is shouting and killing, and the thunderous artillery echoes each other, Li Yong sat on the horse and looked at the battlefield in front of him, his brows were slightly furrowed, when he attacked Jian'an City the day before yesterday, the defenders of Jian'an City were stunned by the artillery, and they didn't stop any effective attack at all, so the soldiers who besieged the city did not have much damage, but today, watching this round of arrows rain down, people kept falling, Li Yong was very distressed, this is a good man of the Tang Dynasty, The parents, wives and children at home must be looking forward to their return, but they have to bury their bones in a foreign land......

"How long will it take?"

Li Yong turned his head and asked, Xue Wanche was slightly stunned, and then replied.

"Until the capture of Gaimu City, of course!"

Seeing that Li Yong's face was not quite right, Su Dingfang asked with concern.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Poor Liaodong City's bones, it's still a spring boudoir dreamer!"

Li Yong sighed, and Li Yuntian said jokingly.

"Grandpa, what a poem!"

Li Yong glared at him angrily, at this time, he still has the leisure to care about the poems, okay? If it is his Xishan battalion, how can there be such casualties, one output, basically destroy the other party, but unfortunately the power in his hands cannot be in the world, only in the dark, the most strict and last guardian force in the dynasty, the county prince is still too benevolent! Su Dingfang groaned.

"Grandpa, since ancient times, wars have never been broken, there is a war, it is inevitable that people will die, everyone in order to protect the family and defend the country, although they are still honored, if they don't die now, they will be bullied in the future, and more people will die!"

In fact, these Li Yong don't know that the Central Plains Dynasty has always been harassed by nomads, and I don't know how many people have been killed or injured, this is the truth in this world, if you are strong, you don't fight others, others will come to beat you when they are strong, and you can live a stable life if you beat others.

"Actually, I also understand it, I hope to capture Gaimu City soon!"

Li Yong said sincerely, and Xue Wanche smiled.

"Don't worry! The county duke, with the big guy, it is much easier to attack the city, and the army will soon take Gaimu City! ”

Not far away, Li Er looked at the siege not far away, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"How long does Mao Gong think it will take to capture Gaimu City?"

Li Er turned his head and asked with a smile, Xu Shiji's face was calm, but there was a little relaxation in his eyes, and he couldn't help but groan after listening to it.

"Looking at the defensive position of the defenders of Gaimu City, although they are not as stupid as the defenders of Jian'an City, they are also five points less morale, so the minister thinks that they will definitely be able to break through Gaimu City within three days!"

Li Er couldn't help but nod and said with a smile.

"Mao Gong is right, as soon as the cannon sounds, the morale of the defenders of Gaimu City will be weakened by five points, the two armies are fighting, this morale is very important, especially the siege and defense of the city, the heart is five points timid, then how can you hold the city? However, three days is too long, and it will take a day to break through the city of Gaimu. ”

Xu Shiji's face remained unchanged when he heard this, because he understood why the emperor wanted to break through Gaimu City in one day, because if Jian'an City and Gaimu City were captured in only one day, then this would bring greater deterrence to the defenders behind, is it possible to break through Gaimu City in one day? It is possible, but it is not easy, because the defenders of Gaimu City are not as frightened and helpless as the defenders of Jian'an City after all, Xu Shiji muttered.

"Saint, I'm afraid it's not easy to capture Gaimu City in one day!"

Li Er said with a smile.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

After speaking, Li Er turned his head and ordered.

"Spread the will of a certain person, the first warrior to climb the city, knighted, promoted to three levels, if he dies in battle, he can be crowned the heir of the shadow!"

The herald began to carry out the decree with a flag on his body, running and shouting among the three armies.

"The saint has a decree, the first warrior to climb the head of the city, knighted, promoted to the third rank, if he dies in battle, he can be crowned the heir of the shadow! The saint has a will, the first warrior to climb the head of the city, knighted, promoted to three levels, if he dies in battle, he can be crowned the heir of the shadow! ”

With the decree to the soldiers of the three armies, the already fierce atmosphere was like adding fuel to the fire, the soldiers who were besieging the city were eager to put on their wings and rush to the city, while the soldiers who did not attack the city were anxious. If not, get out of the way, let's do it! On the city wall, Li Zhitong shouted a little angrily.

"Quick! Beat! Smash! Stone them to death! Are all the Tang people crazy? ”

rushed too fiercely, Li Zhitong didn't expect that these Tang people would set up the cloud ladder so quickly, and climb desperately along the cloud ladder, Song Ruiyuan looked at all this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, can this be kept? Although the defenders of Gaimu City were not as directly frightened as his subordinates, they didn't have much morale! Of course, I am not afraid to listen to the thunderous sound, but while bearing the attack of the cannons, while listening to the thunderous sound, and dealing with the attack under the city, it is different, and Song Ruiyuan feels that the Tang army today is more brave than when he attacked Jian'an City that day, the thunderous roar suddenly stopped, and the sound of a mountain and tsunami suddenly broke out under the city, Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong suddenly looked around, and suddenly found that there was a commotion on the city wall, and the two couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, not good, There was a Tang army rushing to the city wall, and it was only the first day! The Tang army actually captured the city wall, which was inevitably too fast, Li Zhitong was shocked in the same heart, feeling that this was too far from the city he imagined, but at this moment, he didn't think too much, and hurriedly shouted.

"There are Tang people rushing to the city, don't panic, follow General Ben to kill the Tang people!"

While shouting, Li Zhitong pounced on the city with his own soldiers, although Song Ruiyuan had a little selfish idea in his heart that was not humane to outsiders, but at this moment he also left that idea behind, and pounced on it with his own soldiers, and heard the tsunami-like sound of the mountain behind him, and the soldiers who were attacking the city on the ladder suddenly understood in their hearts, there must be a comrade who attacked the city, and someone had already taken the lead, how could he be left behind? The soldiers besieging the city rushed towards the city with a lot of strength, but the defenders on the city wall couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard the sound of the tsunami-like sound of the mountain, and the Tang army had already rushed to the head of the city, so could the city still be defended? The cannons of the Tang army are so powerful, even the people of the Tang army are so brave.

"Steady! Steady! We can hold it! ”

"Hit! Hit me hard! ”

The generals ran and shouted on the city wall, however, more and more Tang soldiers attacked the city.
