Chapter 378: The City is Broken
The trumpets of the command sounded, and the archers on the seven or eight wells shot at the walls with their arrows tied to clay pots, but fortunately they were close, otherwise they would not have been able to shoot them.
"Bang~~Bang~~Bang~~~" The sound of a clay pot shattering, this voice Goguryeo soldiers are too familiar,
Many of the soldiers were also splashed with liquid, and then they saw a rocket shooting from the opposite well.
The Goguryeo soldiers, including the generals, were frightened and involuntarily began to dodge and escape.
The buttress of the ladder truck immediately gave way to a space.
Taking advantage of this node, the Tang army quickly climbed the city wall, and when the rocket landed and did not burn, the Goguryeo soldiers realized that they had been deceived.
And at this moment, there are ten ladders, and each one has already gone up with more than a dozen people, and the Goguryeo defenders began to counterattack, wanting to drive the Tang army down,
But how could it be easy to give up when it finally came up, the sword and shield soldiers protected the battlements, and with the help of shields and armor, they desperately resisted, and the Tang army continued to rush up on the ladder.
The well in the distance was also desperately pulling the bow and shooting in the distance, and at this time, both sides relied on one breath to resist.
It has been almost an hour since the siege began, and the archers have no strength to draw their bows with such high intensity.
Only with this breath can I barely rest for a while and shoot for a while.
Seeing that he was going up, of course he was going to shoot desperately.
The situation on the Datang side is very good, and a steady stream of Datang soldiers rushed to the city wall, relying on weapons and equipment to clear a large open space at the battlement.
"Order, send another 50,000 horses to assist General Li Tao to take the West Gate in one fell swoop." Li Chengqian saw through a telescope from a distance that Li Tao's side had begun to occupy the West Gate on a large scale, and immediately ordered.
250,000 soldiers and horses, 100,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry, and 30,000 soldiers at the three gates to attack the city, so Li Chengqian still has 60,000 infantry in his hands.
Now that Li Chengqian saw that success was just around the corner, he immediately ordered to send 50,000 yuan to assist Li Tao, after all, the soldiers in Li Tao's hands were now exhausted.
The 50,000-strong army actually came to replace the tired soldiers in Li Tao's hands, and the addition of this new force soon expanded the results.
A group of archers were replaced on the well, and the ladder cart was also full of spirited soldiers.
"We have taken the wall at the general's gate," the herald reported.
"Get on the siege cart and break open the city gate, give the order to occupy the urn city and the arrow tower, block the reinforcements on both sides, and immediately rush into the city and occupy the city gate." Li Tao began to order.
There is one last link in this battle, which is the city gate, and the city gate is also the place where the battle is fought.
The north and south received orders from the marshal at this moment, and there was no need to desperately attack the city, delay the defenders of the city wall, and reduce casualties.
The two sides immediately knew that the West had begun a general offensive, so they immediately followed the order and began a feint.
The generals defending the city in the north and south also got the news of the loss of the western wall, but they couldn't leave, otherwise wouldn't the two sides also let people break the city?
With the addition of 50,000 troops, Li Tao's west gate was overwhelming, and soon occupied the city wall at the city gate.
The siege troops pushed the door car, and soon came to the urn gate,
"Oops~~~Oops~~~~"
"Bang~~~Bang~~~"
One slogan after another, one impact after another, without interference, they can swing the ram unscrupulously and widely,
"Bang~~~Bang~~~Bang, bang~~~~" The door was knocked open,
The siege troops did not stop, pushing the car that hit the door and went straight to the main entrance. They need to knock open the front door to win,
There was a banging sound at the main gate, and the sound of killing on the city wall shook the sky, and the Tang army had occupied the position of the main gate in the west and began to kill from the stairs of the city wall to the city.
They need to take the gates and clear the barriers.
The archers also began to climb the walls, condescendingly, constantly clearing the enemy troops in front of them.
"General Jin, there are too many Tang troops, our West City Gate has been lost, and the counterattack has not been successful for half an hour."
At one time in a tall building inside the western city wall, a general of Goguryeo was talking to a general.
"Alas~~~, I really didn't expect the Tang army to be so powerful, I thought we would be able to resist for ten days, waiting for reinforcements,
But I didn't expect that the city would be destroyed in just half a day, does God really want to destroy my Goguryeo Dynasty? ”
His surname is Jin, his name is En, he has followed the Gao family for many years, and now he is loyal to the treasure king Gao Baobao,
"General Jin, the Tang army is about to break through the West City Gate, how should we deal with it?" The general asked.
"Inform the defenders of the north and south cities, retreat into the city, street fighting, the sky is about to get dark, we can use the night to find an opportunity to recapture the city gate, if not, then we can only retreat from the east gate."
Kim replied that in this situation, in fact, there is no way to return to the sky, and the final counterattack is also left to fate, either surrender, escape, or die in battle, there is no other choice.
Soon, all the Goguryeo soldiers on the north and south walls retreated into the city, and the gates on both sides were occupied.
The West Gate was smashed open by the door truck in the final rumble, and the back of the door had been cleared, and the 10,000 troops following the door car swarmed in. Began to clean up the remnants of Goguryeo.
After Li Tao got the city and broke it, he rushed in with his people, and of course the headquarters had to move forward.
Li Chengqian also wanted to go but was stopped by Li Daozong, the city still needs to be cleaned up, and many years of experience tell him that the enemy army wants to fight in the streets.
"Uncle Huang, let people stand on the city wall and shout to persuade them to surrender, just say that the Tang Army treats prisoners preferentially and does not kill prisoners. Anyway, just shout the righteous gentleman and lick them. Li Shen sat there and gave an idea.
Li Daozong nodded and ordered to go down and pass the order, anyway, there was no loss,
The city is still shouting and killing, Li Tao's first order after entering the city is to repair, guard the city wall and the city gate, it is late, the other party is familiar with the terrain, and the street battle is very bad.
And the same is true for those in other directions, they have no reinforcements, and they are already tired, Li Daozong suggested burying the pot under the city wall to make rice, and then send it to the people inside.
Li Chengqian also immediately nodded in agreement.
"Goguryeo soldiers in the city, now that you have been defeated, don't resist anymore, come out and surrender, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince promises not to kill the prisoners, give you food and drink,
How long have you not had enough to eat, think about the misery of the people, who is causing this,
Surrender, think of your parents, wives and children at home, how much suffering they have suffered now, and our Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be merciful and will not embarrass you.
People, our Datang army is here to rescue you, and persuade the soldiers around you to surrender early, so that we can distribute food to you earlier, so that you can go to Datang to eat and clothe yourself.
No more suffering, suffering. ”
In the darkness of the night, the sound spread throughout most of the city. Many of the people were terrified when they learned of the destruction of the city.
(Because I'm afraid that you will talk about hydrology, I will write it simply, and if I write it in detail, I am afraid that I can write several chapters,
Normal sieges are large-scale events, and no matter how powerful they are, they have to fight for three or five days.
It's somewhat abnormal to break the city in half a day, but I'm afraid that some people will say that it is too procrastinating to write a dozen chapters to attack a city, so the Tang Army is illuminated by the reader's aura, hey~ He will capture it in half a day.
Well, in fact, I can't write a dozen chapters, and the level is limited. Meeting. )
