In the large tent of the Tang Army, all the generals gathered together, and everyone listened attentively to Luo Zhang's explanation of his arrangements.
"We talked about the deployment of artillery before. I have already surveyed the terrain. As long as the artillery is deployed on this hillside and heavily guarded, even if the enemy comes to attack, we don't have to be afraid. If we attack from top to bottom, the enemy will basically attack. If we don’t come up, besides, the enemy troops may not dare to leave the city after this attack.”
"As long as our artillery blasts open the city wall of Liaodong County, the Gaoguli people's idea of holding on to the city will be in vain. Taking Liaodong County will be like picking something out of a bag."
"Once we capture Liaodong County, Yancheng, and surrounding counties and cities will be within easy reach, and no one can stop us from moving forward!"
Listening to Luo Zhang's impassioned speech, the generals below were so excited that they wanted to launch an attack on Liaodong County immediately.
However, it was already sunset, and no matter how fast we wanted to attack Liaodong County, we would have to wait until tomorrow. Besides, the artillery still needed to be transported to the hillside that Luo Zhang mentioned, which also took time.
After careful planning, the time to launch the attack on Liaodong County was set at dawn the day after tomorrow.
After the discussion, the entire Tang Army camp began to operate. All spies were sent out to detect the movements of the Gaoguli people, but more of them were to kill the Gaoguli spies.
After all, the artillery had to be transported out. It would not be a good thing if it was discovered by Gaogouli's spies and reported back.
This matter must be done secretly.
Naturally, the artillery was transported at night. When the moon rose high, a group of people pushed the artillery towards the hillside designated by Luo Zhang, escorted by a large group of people along the road.
Not only that, more spies spread around to ensure that this team of people would not be discovered.
Luo Zhang naturally followed closely behind, escorting these artillery pieces. These were all his treasures. Even if a Luo Zhang was damaged or lost, he would be extremely distressed.
You must know that Luo Zhang spent a lot of money to build every artillery here, and the hard work involved is not appreciated by outsiders.
From the time the moon rose to the daylight, Luo Zhang escorted twenty artillery pieces to the hillside. Logically speaking, Luo Zhang had forty cannons. Wouldn't it be faster to transport them together and bombard them together? But the hillside was so It's so big that it's only big enough to arrange twenty artillery pieces. It can't accommodate more, so it's just a futile effort.
And twenty artillery pieces are more than enough to bombard a city wall, enough to collapse the city wall of Liaodong County.
When the first ray of morning light shone on the earth, the soldiers in the Tang Army camp had already had breakfast and were ready to go.
At Li Jing's order, everyone rushed out of the camp and ran towards Liaodong County.
The Gaoguli people, whose spies had been cleared out by the Tang army in large numbers, did not know at this time that the Tang army had sent troops to attack the city.
Cui Dunshi didn't care too much about the spies being cleared. Such a thing was normal. In other words, he would also clean up the spies to prevent his whereabouts from being controlled by the enemy.
On the hillside not far from Liaodong County, Luo Zhang was debugging each artillery piece. The most important thing was to adjust the angle. No one else could do this, only Luo Zhang understood it.
After Luo Zhang finished inspecting the artillery one by one, he received a message from the ordering soldier that Li Jing's army was about to arrive.
At this time, Liaodong County saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and a large group of people were heading towards the county.
Shouts rang out on the city wall, and orders were issued immediately. The Gaoguli people guarding Liaodong County all moved and climbed onto the city wall one after another, staring at the smoke and dust in the distance.
He had already made preparations when it was time to prepare. Rolling logs and fortification stones were fully prepared. A large amount of kerosene was sent to Liaodong County from the rear. As long as the Tang army attacked the city, it would all pour down the city wall to block the Tang army's attack.
The boiling oil has also been ignited on the oil pan. When the Tang army arrives, the boiling oil will be a nightmare for the Tang army.
What made the Gaoguli people a little confused was that when the Tang army arrived within a stone's throw of the city wall, it stopped and had no intention of launching an attack immediately.
What puzzled them even more was that the Tang troops attacking the city didn't even have ladders or chiseled gates. How could they attack the city like this?
Could it be that the Tang army thought they would go out of the city to fight with them?
Cui Dunshi stood on the tower with a frown. He thought that with Li Jing's reputation, he would not make such a mistake.
Cui Dunshi had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart, which was getting stronger and stronger. He always felt that something bad was going to happen.
