The cavalry rushed into the first gate of Liaodong City. The horses' hooves trampled all the way, trampling the dead or alive stick soldiers into a piece of meat. The fleeing stick soldiers on the road were scared to death when they saw the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty entering the city. Urinary flow.
"Help"
"The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is coming"
"The punishment from heaven is coming."
"mama"
swish swish
The cavalry raised their crossbows and shot the stick soldiers who blocked them, and rushed all the way into Liaodong City. Thousands of cavalry were like tanks, killing these stick soldiers with overwhelming force.
Next came the light infantry behind them, holding a round shield in one hand and a crossbow in the other, following the footsteps of the cavalry. Beside them were pikemen holding spears and crossbowmen holding crossbows.
The Tang Dynasty's soldiers were not charging in a swarm, but in a chaotic manner. The most basic formation was three or five people, and the cavalry covered them all the way.
This is just the forward. They are responsible for driving away and killing the stick soldiers blocking the way in front, and then occupy the city head, paving the way for the army behind.
After the battle led the city to the top of Liaodong City, Gongsun Zan entered Liaodong City with this treasure. Then he looked at the remaining 30% of the city gates from the inner city tower and ordered his generals: "Send the remaining cavalry out to swim outside the three city gates." Let’s go. The number of each team should not be less than a thousand. If you encounter a small number of enemies, they will be eaten directly. If you are a large army, use the sound of arrows to summon your comrades, and you must kill them all here.”
"According to the information we collected in advance, we will find the traitors and traitors in Liaodong City and those who insulted the martyrs and their bodies. They will be arrested and put under centralized custody, and all their property will be confiscated."
Zhang Bao, who was standing on the side, interjected at this time: "Bogui left their Gao family and took them back to Chang'an City and asked the lord to behead them in public. We not only want to wash away the shame, but also let the world know about our lord." "God's power"
After listening to Zhang Bao's words, Gongsun Zan made a reasonable point, and then ordered his generals: "Do as the commander said and try to catch as many people as possible alive."
"promise"
A group of generals went to carry out Gongsun Zan's order. Within the 80,000-strong army, there were more than 30,000 cavalry from the Tang Dynasty. Less than 5,000 had already entered the city, and the remaining 30,000 cavalry began to wander outside the city. They were not small in themselves. Liaodong City was surrounded by more than 30 cavalry teams of a thousand people, and more than 30 cavalry teams roamed to ensure that even wild dogs could not escape.
In Liaodong City, those who used to think they were great talked about how the Tang Dynasty was not doing well. When they discovered that the gate of Liaodong City was breached without even holding it for an hour, the heavily armed soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rushed into the city. , they realized that Datang was more powerful than they believed.
However, it was too late for them to regret at this time. Gongsun Zan asked for orders and Li Mingda granted permission. Liaodong City would not seal the sword for three days and would not allow adultery. However, capturing them as slaves was still within the scope of permission.
As nearly 50,000 infantrymen entered the city one after another, except for the three city gates that were already surrounded by groups, the rest of Liaodong City was under the control of Datang.
Gongsun Zan led his men and horses to the north city gate closest to Zi first, and looked at the corpses of stick soldiers on the ground and wondered.
"Did they start fighting among themselves?"
"Reporting to the general, just now the stick defenders at the west gate wanted to run away, but the defenders at the north city didn't allow it, so they started fighting on their own."
"I see, then it's our turn next. Pull up the small steel cannon and aim it at their gate tower. Kill the guard inside and the remaining soldiers will be easy to deal with."
"promise"
The order was given, and the small steel cannon was pulled over again. The stick guard, who did not know what was going on at first, waved the knife in his hand and threatened: "If you want to break through the city gate guarded by me, Jin Xiuxian, just dream, unless it is thunder from the gods."
The triumphant Jin Xiuxian had no idea that Gao Jianwen and the other guards died miserably because they cheated on food and drink by setting flags.
Before Kim Soo-hyun could wait for his subordinate to flatter him, there was a loud noise in front of him, and a fire broke out in front of him. Kim Soo-hyun, who had been so proud just now, was completely wrapped in the flames.
boom
Most of the gate tower inside the north city of Liaodong City collapsed. The wooden gate tower and the kerosene stored inside, followed by the north wind, instantly ignited the fire, which looked particularly dazzling like a torch in the dark Liaodong City. .
The guards at the east gate and south gate of Liaodong City looked at the sky-reaching fire at the north gate. They knew that Kim Soo Hyun was most likely doomed.
What about them?
To be honest, the remaining East Gate Guards Gao Jianli and South Gate Guards Gao Jianbao are both members of the Gao family. They relied on their connections within the clan to obtain the status of Liaodong City Gate Guards. As for their abilities, they are a little better than ordinary people. Just relying on their own subordinates to defeat the defeated stick soldiers in the west gate was their limit. Now that the north gate failed again, Gao Jianwen was missing, and the backbone of both of them was gone.
And now it seems that the two cities are still there, the west gate and the north gate are still breached, and the Tang army began to advance layer by layer on the city wall relying on the unparalleled military formations and hard steel heavy armor.
The current situation can only be maintained by relying on the desperate blocking of stick soldiers and burning part of the city wall with kerosene. The efficiency of Datang's engineering work is not low. The burned-out city has begun to be repaired under the suppression of Datang's bows and crossbows. , it will be over soon.
Those Tang Dynasty heavy armored soldiers who were dressed like iron cans. According to the reports from their generals, the weapons in their hands could not penetrate the opponent's armor at all. Only kerosene and piled obstacles could temporarily stop them. attack.
The Tang army was so terrifying~!
Seeing that the two sections of the city wall at his south gate and east gate were still open, Gao Jianli sent a message to Gao Jianbao, inviting him to come here to discuss the battle plan.
It was the kind of two people who had been hanging out together all year round. They instantly heard the overtone. Gao Jianbao agreed to the courier's colleague and led his own soldiers to the east gate of the city gate with shields.
Gao Jianbao actually wanted to thank Gao Jianli. Not long after he left the south gate, Gongsun Zan led his men and horses and pulled a small steel cannon to the vicinity of the south gate. Without saying a word, he fired a shot at the inner gate tower of the south gate.
The four inner gate towers of Liaodong City have the same architectural structure, and the stored combat materials are similar. With one shot, the wooden gate tower collapsed again, and the stored kerosene was ignited.
Less than an hour after the inner city gate of the north gate of Liaodong City was set on fire, the south gate was also in flames. Standing on the gate tower of the east gate, Gao Jianbao hugged Gao Jianli and said, "Thank you, brother, otherwise I will die." Burnt to death inside.”
However, Gao Jianli asked him: "Did you hear it just now?"
"The sound of thunder?"
"yes"
"I heard it"
"Don't you think the south gate caught fire after the thunder? The north gate looked like this just now."
"When you say that, it's really like that. Brother, are you really saying that it's the gods who are punishing us?"
