The horn of war sounded, and all the Tang troops rushed towards Hengshan City, and countless arrows and feathers shot at the city wall.

On the city walls, since their general was burned to death by flames, yes, their general was not killed by a sharp blade, but by the fire oil bomb thrown in the hot air balloon.

The blade just witnessed the truth of the incident and then sent a signal.

The arrow tower was still burning, the deputy generals and generals at all levels began to organize defensive resistance, and the archers began to shoot arrows at the Tang army that rushed over.

The Tang army did not disperse the attack, but charged at the side that did not burn next to the arrow tower.

All kinds of siege equipment were put into battle, because the other side of the city wall and the arrow tower were still burning, the city wall was separated from the middle, and if you wanted to support, you could only go down to the city wall, and go up to the city wall on the other side again.

Because the Goguryeo side did not have a supreme commander, the command system fell into chaos, and there was no unified scheduling.

As a result, there are many loopholes in the defense, giving Datang a chance to take advantage of.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the Tang Army began to attack the city wall, and it was still pouring up.

When the Tang army began to occupy the city wall, the Goguryeo soldiers were defeated and retreated.

Although the Goguryeo soldiers on the other side came to support in time, the city wall was so large that it was blocked below.

The Tang army did not hit the city gate, and directly fought down from the city wall little by little, and the archers shot down desperately.

This is the crushing of strength, the victory is in hand, and you can play how you want.

At this time, the cavalry also rushed back, and Li Chengqian ordered the cavalry to divide into three divisions to prevent the enemy from escaping from the other three directions.

And on the frontal battlefield, the Tang army had already killed at the city gate, cleared the barricades, and opened the city gate from the inside.

The rest of the soldiers swarmed in through the city gates and began to fight in the streets with Goguryeo.

With a shout of surrender or killing, countless Goguryeo soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

The tide of the battle soon stabilized, the army entered the city, captured important units, and all the prisoners were taken out of the city to be imprisoned to avoid accidents.

In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Li Chengqian, Li Daozong, Li Tao, Li Qiqi and He Li and others were waiting for news from Xincheng.

Xincheng was led by Zhang Liang and Qiu Xiaozhong, and Li Shen also sent a hot air balloon over.

"Report ~~~~~"

A herald ran in.

"Report to the generalissimo, General Zhang has sent news that the new city has been captured, and there will be a war report later. General Zhang asked the Generalissimo for the next directive. ”

"Okay~~" Li Chengqian clapped his hands happily. I really didn't expect to win the three cities so easily. He originally thought that it would be difficult to attack Goguryeo.

The reason why the battle plan is to fight steadily and slowly is because they all feel that Emperor Yang of Sui's expedition to Goguryeo has failed.

Even if the Tang army can succeed, the battle situation is very difficult, where did you think that Goguryeo would be so vulnerable.

"Order, everything is done according to plan, grain is distributed, arable land is planned, and food from the imperial court should arrive soon.

Continue to use the Huairou policy, win the approval of the people, recruit local soldiers, and give them food. The Tang army must abide by military discipline, not disturb the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. ”

Li Chengqian said to the herald.

After the herald received the order, Li Tao sighed;

"The old man really didn't expect that he would be able to attack Goguryeo in his lifetime, and what he didn't expect was that it would be so easy."

"What Li Gong said is very true, but this is all a good plan of the imperial court, Goguryeo was originally strong and strong, and with the help of the terrain, the Sui could not advance an inch.

But now Goguryeo, under the planning of the imperial court, is divided, the people are hungry, and the treasure king and Yuangai Suwen only care about themselves and do not care about the life and death of the people.

Your Majesty has said that the people are water, and water can carry a boat or overturn a boat.

This king very much agrees with King Ji about the people's war, and the civil strife of the people can drag down a country. ”

Li Daozong was also very emotional.

They are now impressed by some of Li Shen's opinions, and they used to think that Li Shen was a child.

But now it seems that what Li Shen sometimes says is still very reliable.

Moreover, these sieges can be said to be Li Shen's first work.

Especially this hot air balloon high-altitude strike, there is really no solution.

"Grand Duke, can you use this ball today on a large scale?" Li Tao asked.

"Yes, yes, but for some reason the ball can't fly far or high. Up to two quarters of an hour in the sky. Li Shen replied simply.

"The Metropolitan Governor is really a great talent, if His Majesty knows about this kind of artifact, he will be very happy, and with this thing, my Datang will be invincible." He Li also praised on the side.

"Of course, this king brought this here to test the effect of this thing on the battlefield, and now it seems to be really good." Li Shen said awe-inspiringly.

"But if this method is known to outsiders, how is it good to use it to deal with our Datang, the minister saw it today, and the arrow feathers can't be injured after this thing flies, how should I deal with it." He Li was curious.

After hearing this, Li Shen squinted at He Li, and then continued;

"This Metropolitan Governor naturally has a way, and although this hot air balloon seems simple, many of the things in it are carefully selected,

In particular, the burning materials are carefully selected from a certain place in the south, and after eight special processes, they are mixed with special stones on the Tianshan Mountains and refined for 7749 days before they can select less than 10% of the qualified products.

And also.... Forget it, I told you that you don't understand, you only need to remember one word, expensive. ”

Li Shen said openly, blowing everyone present in a daze, stunned for a moment.

For what Li Shen said nonsense, if it was someone else, they would definitely scoff at it, but who is Li Shen, the richest and most enjoyable prince in the Tang Dynasty.

They all heard that Li Shimin's tribute tea was picked from Annan, and it went through many processes to make it.

The things on Li Shen's Ji Wangfu are all good things from the south and the north of the world, and Li Tao even heard Li Shimin say that the fishing lines that Li Shen fishes are all made of silk.

A rich prince who is such a loser, they can accept no matter how out-of-the-ordinary he is.

Even Li Chengqian, who knew Li Shen, was somewhat convinced.

"Big brother, the rest of the things are according to what I said before, stabilize the people, organize the people to open up wasteland and farm, and send people to the surrounding areas to publicize the changes here.

Absorb more people. The point is that the Goguryeo soldiers also have to earn conscriptions, train with our people, and strengthen military discipline.

I guess Gao Bao didn't dare to come and hit us.

When I go back this time, I will ask Wang Hongfu to prepare more grain seeds, but I will tell the people that I will pay 30% of the rent for the grain they grow in the first year.

As for taxes, I guess Aya can exempt them for two years. ”

"Tenth brother, you're using Aya to make money again."
