"General." When Yu Ling was deep in thought, the guard beside him suddenly shouted.
Yu Ling immediately raised his head and looked from a distance. The other side's city gate was open, and a cavalryman carrying the flag of the Tang Dynasty was running quickly in this direction.
"Order, no one is allowed to move." Yu Ling gave the order.
In fact, even if Yu Ling didn't say anything, these soldiers would not move. After all, the other party only sent one person, obviously to convey a message.
Li Daozong on the city wall held a telescope and looked at the crossbow arrow that was handled by the opponent. He nodded with satisfaction: "Niu Er, record the merit."
"Thank you, General." Niu Er was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect that his shot was quite accurate. Although he wanted to stick close to the opponent's horse and shoot into the ground. If he missed, he could still kill the opponent, which was not a loss.
This crossbow arrow is quite expensive.
But it's a good thing now.
Li Daozong waved his hands and said nothing, but continued to look with the telescope. I have to say that His Highness's thing is really amazing. Just a few combinations can make things hundreds of meters away clearly visible. It's like it's right in front of you.
Yu Ling waited for the cavalry to run all the way to a distance of about ten meters in front of him before reining in the horse. Looking at the fully armed armor and face of the other party, Yu Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is the elite of the Tang Dynasty. .
Generally speaking, when two armies are facing each other, there is no risk to the soldiers who send messages like this. Generally speaking, the other party does not dare to run so close. It is enough to stay twenty or thirty meters away and shout the message clearly. But now the other party is almost too fast. Pasted in front of him.
"Are you Yu Ling, the coach of Goguryeo?" the guard asked directly.
Yu Ling took a deep breath. After he took over, he rushed directly to the front line, and then started to advance when he arrived at the front line. It can be said that there was basically no delay.
But the other party already knows his name, so naturally the other party also knows the news that Goguryeo has changed its coach. What does this mean?
It shows that there are many people inside Goguryeo who have tipped off the news. The first person Yu Ling thought of was Yeon Gaesumun.
Anyway, now that he is not the coach, it is normal for him to reveal this news directly to Datang. After all, they were the ones who revealed the news after Yeon Gaesowen formulated the strategy.
"It's me." Yu Ling said solemnly.
"Our general asked me to tell you that as a general of the Tang Dynasty, the order he received this time was to maintain regional stability and balance. Under the order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Goguryeo soldiers were strictly prohibited from moving any further. The crossbow arrow just now was the boundary. The two sides ceased war and then conducted three-nation peace talks, with Datang presiding over the peace talks."
"If the Goguryeo soldiers dare to take another step forward, the Tang army will fight back directly." The soldier directly told Yu Ling what Li Daozong had told him.
"Go back and tell the General of the Tang Dynasty that Goguryeo is not an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, but has conflicts with Silla and Baekje, and the order I received is to get these cities." Yu Lingye said in a deep voice. road.
After hearing Yu Ling's words, the soldier turned around and rode away without saying a word, without even leaving any nonsense behind.
Such a straightforward action made Yu Ling stunned for a moment. Is this... so straightforward?
Looking at the retreating figure of the other soldier, Yu Ling fell into deep thought. So the question became, what should he do next? Siege a city?
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
"Send the order." After a long time, Yu Ling took a deep breath and said loudly, "Let the forward troops prepare to carry ladders and prepare to attack the city."
"yes!"
You have come, you can't go back empty-handed, and although Datang has demonstrated the power of their bed crossbows, the rate of fire of the bed crossbows on the battlefield cannot affect the decisive battle situation.
"Bang" "Bang" the dull sound of military drums sounded, causing the forward troops here to immediately start taking action.
The infantrymen at the front held up their shields and began to slowly approach the city wall. Behind the first few rows of infantry were infantrymen carrying ladders. They put the shields in their hands in front of them.
Li Daozong on the city wall saw this scene, sneered and said: "Get ready."
"Woo!" The low and unique sound of the trumpet instantly resounded throughout the city wall. The five large bed crossbows and fifteen medium-sized bed crossbows on the city wall all opened their fangs.
Even the killing distance of a medium-sized bed crossbow has reached more than 500 meters. On the city wall, the distance has been improved. Although it is impossible to aim accurately, what should the people below who are preparing to attack the city aim?
"Let go!" When the opponent's advancing troops moved forward about twenty or thirty meters, Niu Jinda, who was standing next to Li Daozong, said with a ferocious smile on his face.
Following Niu Jinda's order, the flag bearer standing next to him put down the red flag in his hand.
With a "buzz" sound, the bed crossbowmen who saw this scene pulled the trigger in their hands fiercely.
A total of seventy crossbow arrows were fired directly at the Goguryeo army at a terrifying speed.
"Ah..." Within a few breaths, Yu Ling, who had just retreated, saw a scene that made his eyes split open. The forward troops were advancing steadily, and dozens of soldiers seemed to be directly affected by the invisible force. They were knocked back more than ten meters, and each of them knocked at least several people away.
In the blink of an eye, nearly two hundred soldiers fell to the ground.
Countless screams and wails rang out, countless blood began to splash instantly, and the entire attacking vanguard was in commotion.
Isn't this... too lethal? And how many bed crossbows did the Tang Dynasty have?
But before the thoughts in his mind could finish, the medium-sized bed crossbow with clear division of labor on the city wall had quickly loaded the second round of crossbow arrows, and then without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, almost at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred soldiers in the Goguryeo army fell down screaming, and many soldiers did not even have a chance to scream out.
How can this be? ! How many bed crossbows do they have? Or can this crossbow be cocked so fast? !
When the medium-sized bed crossbow was cocked for the third time, the five large bed crossbows were also cocked for the second time, still attacking in a uniform manner.
The terrifying crossbow arrows were like the black and white of harvesting lives, once again taking away the lives of dozens of people, because those targeted by the crossbow arrows had almost no chance of survival, because this was not a single crossbow, but a bed crossbow!
The shields in the hands of these soldiers were as fragile as paper and could not play any blocking role at all. Even when the crossbow arrows exploded the wooden shields, these shields also caused a little sputtering damage to the surrounding soldiers. Kill!
The Goguryeo military drums were still beating, but in just a few minutes, at least two to three hundred of the thousand soldiers in the vanguard and even the rear had fallen before they even left the main force!
And some crossbow arrows were shot directly into the large troops of the Goguryeo army!
Yu Ling's mind was completely blank.
