Seeing the soldiers of the Tang Army rushing towards the new city regardless of their own safety, Luo Zhang also had the urge to rush with them, but in the end, this idea was suppressed by him.
Before leaving, grandma, Gao Yang, Chang Le, Mei Niang, and even His Majesty all told him to stay behind and not rush to the front rashly.
Grandma and the others were able to talk, but His Majesty's words left Luo Zhang speechless. That is, did the Tang Dynasty have no generals? Need you to rush ahead?
Well, buddy, I don’t want to rush forward at all. How can I let a brain like him do this kind of fighting and killing? What he has to do is like Zhuge Liang, holding a feather fan and waving it, the enemy Just disappear into ashes, that's what he wants.
In Xincheng, under Gao Jiang's order, arrows rained down on the attacking Tang army.
But the Tang army was like crazy, regardless of the arrows, rushing towards the new city desperately.
This made Gao Jiang realize that something was wrong. If the Tang army really wanted to attack the city, why didn't the siege weapons at the rear be used?
Forget about using catapults and siege chisels. At least bring some ladders to climb up the city wall.
Otherwise, rushing to kill like this wouldn't mean you're going to die? Is Tang Jun really stupid?
The answer was soon revealed. After the Tang army approached the city wall with arrows, they mysteriously disappeared without a trace. The place where they disappeared was the city gate.
At this time, if Gao Jiang no longer knew what was going on, he could die.
At this time, Gao Jiang's mind was buzzing as he kept replaying the captain's words just now.
"Sir, the city gate is broken..."
"The city gate is broken? How could the city gate be broken? What on earth is going on?" Gao Jiang muttered to himself. He really couldn't understand how his perfectly good city gate could be broken. You want to say that it was opened by someone? He could accept it a little better, but the fact that it was broken completely overturned his understanding!
The Tang army that rushed into the new city was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing everyone they saw. At this time, there were only Goguryeo troops and horses in the city, and the people had already moved away. Everyone they killed was a soldier, so there was no burden.
Although the city gates were wide open and the Tang army was able to break into the city, they still had to go through a fight to capture the new city. Twenty thousand people were not just for show.
Luo Zhang didn't care that much. After the Tang army rushed into the city, he rode towards the small hill.
At this time, all the artillery on the hillock had been covered and was being transported down under the escort of a soldier.
Although Luo Zhang changed some designs and added two iron wheels to facilitate pushing, it is still troublesome to go up and downhill.
Fortunately, there were many people. With the efforts of dozens of people, ten artillery pieces were transported down in a short time and carefully hidden in Luo Zhang's rear army.
From the beginning to the end, no one knew that the gates of the new city were blown apart because of artillery.
What Luo Zhang wanted was to be surprised. This was the first city. If the artillery was exposed and Su Wen Gaiyuan behind him was on guard, then he would still play with a hammer.
Even if the artillery can still exert its power, if people are prepared, they will find ways to deal with the artillery, and the effect will not be as great as it is now!
The battle in Xincheng lasted for a day. It was true that these Goguryeo people were all stubborn resisters and would fight to the death. They would not surrender at all and could only kill them all in the end.
Twenty thousand people were killed like this. When Luo Zhang entered the city, he almost vomited out from the bloody smell in the city.
In fact, the blood flowed from the center of the city to the city gate, which shows how many people died.
The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and sorting out their brothers, while the Goguryeo people were throwing them onto carts, preparing to pull them out of the city and find a place to bury them.
When Luo Zhang arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Cheng Yaojin and others had been waiting for a long time.
"Hahahaha, our great hero is here, thanks to Luo Zhang this time. If it weren't for Luo Zhang, we wouldn't have been able to capture the new city in one day."
"That's right, thanks to Luo Zhang this time, our soldiers only killed a hundred people. If I tell you this, the people behind me won't believe it for fear of being beaten to death. I still feel like it's unreal. ah!"
"Luo Zhang, what are you doing standing here? Come and sit down!" Cheng Yaojin greeted Luo Zhang.
Listening to everyone's words of praise, Luo Zhang repeatedly raised his hands, humbly saying that it was just a matter of effort.
But the more Luo Zhang behaves like this, the more everyone feels that Luo Zhang is hiding something. Luo Zhang is too lazy to explain. Anyone can think whatever they want. How can he block other people's thoughts?
When Luo Zhang sat down, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Cheng Yaojin coughed and said, "Luo Zhang, you... no, it's that city gate. How did you let it shatter like that?" "
Luo Zhang glanced at Cheng Yaojin and said: "Cheng Shuai, we can't talk about this for the time being, not even to you. Don't blame me. This is His Majesty's wish. If you want to know in advance, you can write to ask Your Majesty. That’s it, I think based on your achievements, His Majesty will tell you!”
