Chang'an City.
Inside the Taishi Bureau.
Li Yuan and Fu Yi played chess and drank tea, talking and laughing happily.
It seems that all wars have nothing to do with these two.
After losing the last piece, Fu Yi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you lost again."
Li Yuan looked up at Fu Yi and said, "Then let's play another game until I win."
Fu Yi also laughed, but after laughing he sighed: "Your Majesty, are you so sure that we will definitely win this time?"
"if not?"
Li Yuan raised his lips and said, "You have seen how powerful my grandson is. Don't you still believe in his ability?"
"It's not that I don't believe it."
"It's just that our enemy is not just Goguryeo."
Fu Yi said worriedly: "There is also a Western Turk in the west who is eyeing us."
"Right."
"I've heard of this man named Zhao Youlin before in Chang'an."
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and continued: "This guy is quite smart, but I don't know if he can bring us any surprises this time."
"All right……"
"Calculating it now, His Highness must have led his troops to attack Liaodong City."
After Fu Yi fell for a moment, he raised his head and asked, "What do you think your Highness will do next after he breaks the city again?"
"If it were me, I would definitely use Liaodong City as a base to continue to expand the results after taking over Liaodong City."
"Because the geographical location of Liaodong City is extremely suitable for establishing a cavalry camp."
Li Yuan rubbed his chin and said: "Once our army is allowed to establish a cavalry camp here, our army will be invincible regardless of victory or defeat in this war."
Fu Yi nodded: "Your Majesty is still thinking deeply..."
Even though these two people were sitting in Chang'an City, they predicted the entire Goguryeo war situation closely...
…
Under Liaodong City.
Li Chengqian looked at the top of the city, then raised his spear and pointed it straight ahead, shouting: "Send the stone-throwing troops to hit me hard."
Following his order, the messenger immediately held the command flag and gave the order to attack in the direction of the stone-throwing troops.
After receiving the order, the thousands and centurions of the slinging troops began to take action.
They led the soldiers under the tent to be busy for a while.
Things like trebuchets actually existed at the end of the Warring States Period, but they had not yet been used on a large scale.
It was the Cao Wei army during the Three Kingdoms that really allowed trebuchets to enter the battlefield and be used on a large scale.
It was already in the late Song Dynasty that the trebuchet was truly improved and became semi-mechanized.
Li Chengqian's improvement of trebuchets brought the semi-mechanized trebuchets from the late Song Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.
And he also made improvements on the stone bullets.
He loaded fist-sized rocks into the fishing net, and then added skyfire thunder inside it.
In this way, the damage caused by this stone bullet will be much greater than the damage caused by the entire stone.
Soon, five hundred trebuchets were ready.
"Prepare!"
As the captain shouted, huge stone bullets tied with net ropes were put into the throwing basket of the trebuchet by the soldiers.
"put!"
"Buzz..."
The soldiers standing behind the trebuchet raised torches to light the powder on the stone bullets.
The next moment, these spheres were ejected by the trebuchet and flew into the sky together.
Just when these stones were approaching the city, they suddenly exploded.
The scattered fragments of those stone bullets filled the sky like dark clouds.
Immediately afterwards, rocks poured down like a sudden rain, and the city was immediately covered with dust.
Before many Goguryeo soldiers could react, they were hit head-on with rocks and blood splattered everywhere.
In an instant, the wails of the injured and dying became one at the top of Liaodong City...
Even the Bingzhou soldiers found that scene thrilling.
Everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on Li Chengqian.
Is it possible that His Highness is really a god descending to earth?
How on earth did he come up with these weird things...
{Received surprise value +23 from Changsun Chong...}
{Received surprise value +13 from Zhang Zhuo...}
{Received surprise value +15 from Wang Qi...}
{Received from…}
Hear these system tones.
Li Chengqian has long lost his original excitement.
Now he has tried his best not to use the system to change this era.
After all, exploiting system changes is only temporary.
The future will definitely depend on the people of this era.
Therefore, Li Chengqian has already begun to reduce his dependence on the system. He will never move until he has to.
At this moment, his eyes were completely fixed on the battlefield.
Now, the siege has begun.
After all, it was the first time for the trebuchet troops to participate in actual combat.
The first wave of long-range strikes actually did not achieve the best effect, with only three or four out of ten hitting the target.
The rest either flew too far and fell into the city, or they flew too close and fell outside the city.
It can be said that the ones that fell into the city caused great damage to the civilians after the explosion in the city.
The buildings affected by the explosion were tilted left and right, and they were crumbling and would collapse without knowing when.
The Goguryeo soldiers in the city were all shocked and speechless by the scene before them.
When had they ever seen hundreds of huge rocks falling from the sky and exploding?
They all couldn't help but start to wonder how the other party did it.
Throwing these rocks so far, you can also make them explode?
Are these people all gods?
No, they are not gods, this is the power of technology.
But before they could figure this out, the second wave of stone rain from Bingzhou soldiers arrived again.
And this time, the arrow array of Bingzhou soldiers also cooperated with the trebuchet to carry out long-range attacks on the Goguryeo soldiers in the city.
Every unit of the Tang Dynasty is extremely special.
For example, Liangzhou soldiers are special because of the tough character of Liangzhou people, which makes them easier to take advantage of.
Therefore, they are better at close combat and are not afraid of death in chaotic battles, which makes the Liangzhou soldiers unparalleled in the world.
Similarly, Bingzhou pawns also have their own characteristics.
Because the soldiers of Bingzhou have always experienced wars with foot against cavalry.
If you want to fight infantry against cavalry, the first thing you must learn is to use arrow formations flexibly.
Therefore, the arrow formation of Bingzhou soldiers is also unparalleled in the world.
This round of arrow rain was shot out by nearly five thousand soldiers at the same time. When the arrows hit the sky, they were so dense that they could cover the sky.
How many people in the world have seen such a scene?
Some Goguryeo soldiers were stunned at this moment.
But in the next moment, these people almost didn't understand what was going on, and they were shot over by arrows one after another.
The rain of arrows followed one after another, the rain of stones followed one after another, and so on.
Every soldier of the Bingzhou Army was specially trained in archery, and the heavy bows they used could shoot at least 150 to 250 steps away.
And this created a very embarrassing situation.
Although the Goguryeo soldiers were condescending, their arrows could not touch the military formation of Bingzhou soldiers.
But Bingzhou soldiers can shoot them.
The Goguryeo soldiers could only watch and stand and be beaten, just like lambs being slaughtered.
Finally, he waited for the opponent's arrow array and stone rain to stop.
At this time, hundreds of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty's military formation pushed out more than a hundred wooden boxes and ran out, rushing towards Liaoxi City like they were dying...
