The whistling sound caused by the unique sounding arrows of the Tang Dynasty filled the battlefield with a tense atmosphere.
Sun Daiyin looked at the situation below with a serious face. The archers of the Tang Dynasty kept throwing arrows in the direction of the city wall. Sun Daiyin had already heard many screams. The power of these arrows thrown down was far more powerful than Sun Daiyin imagined. Stronger!
The only good news is that Datang didn't know why, but they just sent out that group of weird shield soldiers. From a distance, they looked like two strange carriages, but the carriages were pushed by the soldiers. , and the outside is tightly blocked by some huge iron shields.
Their counterattacking arrows could not reach the enemy archers, but now there was nothing they could do against this group of soldiers who quickly arrived under the city wall.
Although a large number of rolling logs and stones were prepared on the city wall, even if these things were thrown down, they might not cause much casualties to the enemy.
He had seen that the shield was very strong, and there seemed to be some special support rods supporting it below. They could not cause any harm to the enemies below.
The only thing that might cause harm to them is kerosene. The kerosene composed of animal fats can be ignited and poured down directly, but to be honest, the effect is probably average.
Because the opponent's shield is not a single-person shield, but a shield with a very large area. If the kerosene is poured down, it will be directly swept away from the side. The threat of kerosene to the iron shield is also limited. The opponent only needs to be orderly. Just retreat.
Kerosene is more powerful and effective against infantry. It is mainly a deterrent. After all, the screams caused by the flames burning on the human body can greatly deter the enemy's morale.
It's just that they didn't prepare much kerosene.
Datang did not attack with all its strength, but only continued to suppress it with bows and arrows. But even so, many soldiers on the city wall were injured or even died. Most of the soldiers hid their bodies under the female wall. If at this time, If the opponent lets that kind of bed crossbow attack...
Fortunately, the opponent seemed to have no intention of taking action, and after the shield soldiers approached the city wall, the opponent's archers even retreated.
But why is this weird shield car headed in the direction of the river in the city? Could it be that they wanted to sneak in from the river? It was simply impossible. The bottom of the river was covered with a fence made of iron bars as thick as an arm. Moreover, the fence was located in the middle of the city wall, making it impossible for people to enter.
The river at the level of the city wall is now not very high from the top even in the dry season, and can be directly submerged in the wet season, so it is impossible for them to sneak in from the river.
Sun Daiyin watched the other party's car approaching the direction of the river flowing out of Liaodong City.
This river is the drinking water river of Liaodong City. It flows into the city from the Liaohe River next to Liaodong City, loops around the city and then flows out, and finally returns to the Liaohe River.
Liaodong City does not have a moat, because the area in Liaodong City is in the freezing period for most of the year, and the moat is of little use. Moreover, if the scale of the moat is not large, it is actually easy to be filled up by the enemy, and the scale The moat is too big. To be honest, Liaodong City does not have that condition.
Li Shiji looked calmly as he watched the two shield carriages escorting a unique round iron carriage in the middle to the drinking river.
Next, they only need to push the car directly into the river, and then stuff the thing into the waterway. As for the others, don't worry, because it is said to have a waterproof fuse or something, and it can burn in water anyway, so don't worry.
When the shield car arrived under the city wall, the top began to throw down some large logs, stones and the like crazily.
But the support rods carried under the large shields under the entire shield cart had already been supported on the ground. Because the river was wide enough, nothing on the carriage was pulled down, but was stuffed directly into the carriage along with it. In the river bed under the city wall.
After eight or nine soldiers tried their best to stuff it in, the soldier who stayed on the shore waited for his comrades to come ashore and lit two fuses without saying a word, because the fuses were a bit long to avoid being hit by rocks and wood. Causing accidental extinguishment.
Although this probability is very low, it is not impossible, so the two fuses are safer.
When the fuse is lit. The dozens of soldiers on the two shield vehicles were already ready. They frantically pulled the shield vehicles and ran back.
Because after leaving the city wall, the only thing Goguryeo could threaten them with was bows and arrows, but bows and arrows couldn't even penetrate their armor.
So at this time, it doesn't matter if there are some gaps between the shields, they can't really shoot in directly.
But if you run slower, the result will be different.
Sun Daiyin stood on the city wall and stared at this scene dumbfounded. He always had a bad premonition, but he couldn't tell what it was.
What did Datang throw into the water?
Looking at Sun Daiyin and others standing on the city tower, Li Shiji shook his head. Liaodong City was very large, so the four main city gates all had urns. This was why Li Shiji did not directly choose the city gate opening.
If there was no Wengcheng, the car would have been delivered to the city gate cave by now, and it would be easier to deliver it there.
"General Li, is this enough?" Hou Junji subconsciously licked his lips and asked, because he had already tested it in the Queen's Kingdom and Piao Kingdom.
It’s so useful.
And it is said that this time it is the latest model. The ones he used in the Queen's Kingdom were all human-carried ones, which were not as powerful as this one. This thing is said to be much more powerful than what they used in the Western Region.
It is said that the contents inside have been improved many times.
Everyone was waiting quietly. The soldiers on the city wall were a little confused. Although they didn't know what it was, many people still threw a lot of stones at certain places.
But he was quickly stopped by the officers on the city wall.
"Don't worry, it's definitely enough. According to the data sent by the Intelligence Department, their city wall cannot withstand the city-breaking mine. There are 400 kilograms of yellow explosives in it." Li Shiji nodded. This thing is said to use the latest gunpowder, called What yellow explosive.
It is said that there is a more powerful one called Black Sorkin. It is said that the Academy of Sciences likes to call it Black Impermanence.
But the cost of Hei Wuchang is a bit high, not as cheap as the current yellow explosive.
Li Shiji didn't know this, but it didn't matter, as long as it was easy to use.
Just when Hou Junji was about to say something, suddenly, a flash of fire suddenly flashed within their sight, and then a fierce red flame suddenly surged out from under the city wall.
