Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 192 Siege
"okay"

Wang Zhuo responded, galloped his horse to the front of the team, and shouted to the archers: "The marshal ordered to replace all the arrows with rockets. After two rounds of upward shooting, all the arrows will be thrown."

Following Wang Zhuo's order, the flames filled the sky, instantly turning half of the sky red.The siege troops who followed immediately reached the city wall by pushing the ladder.

The Goguryeo people who originally hoped to use the scarecrow to borrow arrows hadn't understood what was going on, and suddenly there was a fire around them, and the army of the Tang Dynasty rushed up the city wall.Cities and cities were breached almost effortlessly. Obviously, the Goguryeo people have changed their face after talking to Tang Tang.

Driving the Goguryeo army all the way, it was already a month later when Long Feiyu's four-way army reunited.

The Goguryeo army driven by the Tang army gathered in Changli, the governor of Goguryeo.Tang Jun joined forces with Liu Rengui's [-] sailors, plus the Khitan's [-] troops, a total of [-] gathered at the city of Changli.

Xue Wanche, who arrived first, tried to siege the city several times, but all ended in one hundred, leaving thousands of corpses, but he had no choice but to end in a siege.

Staring at the tall city wall that has been repeatedly reinforced since the Han Dynasty, Xue Wanche sighed: "Marshal, it seems that the Goguryeo guard who guards the city is planning to give it a go this time."

"That's natural. If Changli is lost, they will also face the danger of being killed. Now if we are desperate to defend the city, if we retreat, he will be a hero. If we kill him, he will be a famous general. Anyway, why should we care so much about death?" God."

"That's right, do you want to inject letters into the city so that the Han people in the city can help break the city?"

"No, although there are many Han people in the Liaodong generation, the Goguryeo people are desperate at this time. If we inject letters into the city, it will undoubtedly make the Goguryeo people suspicious. It would be bad if we hurt the Han people in the city. Wang Zhuo went Tell my elder brother to let him lead people to collect a large number of wine jars in the captured city."

"Hehe, Marshal, you don't know yet?"

"Know what?" Long Feiyu looked puzzled, but seeing Wang Zhuo's obscene smile, he beat him up.

"Your elder brother rescued a Goguryeo girl in Siping County, and now the fight is hot. I said that he is not in a hurry to marry a wife these years, because he likes exotic customs." Wang Zhuo asked himself while answering Long Feiyu's words. where guessing.

"Hmph, Wang Zhuo, if you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that I'm not polite to you."

"Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask your brother, it has spread throughout the army."

"Okay, if you let me know that you are lying to me, Wang Zhuo, you know the consequences."

"No, although I love to talk, I won't talk nonsense."

"Well, go and collect all kinds of wine jars with Feiying, and send them to Junzuo Jiang, General Xue, you watch from the city, don't attack the city, I will go to Junzuo Jiang."

"Oh"

Due to the siege of the city, the military craftsman, who had been idle all the time, can be described as a big celebrity in the army for a while.Lao Li, a master craftsman in the army, is instructing soldiers to forge ladders.

From afar, he saw Long Feiyu approaching, he hurriedly went up to greet him, and saluted, "Hello, Marshal."

Long Feiyu nodded and said with a smile: "Old Li, I asked you to put the wheels on the thunderbolt car, have you fixed it?"

"Good morning, at present we have [-] planes that can eject objects weighing hundreds of catties a distance of [-] steps."

"What about the kerosene?"

"According to the Marshal's order, we have pulled [-] carts with wooden waterwheels. If the Marshal wants more, we can transport them from Liaodong."

"No, that's enough. I'll tell you a way to purify kerosene. You rush to make it overnight, and you will use it to attack the city tomorrow."

Lao Li nodded, and suddenly came again: "Marshal, why are you attacking the city? I think it's okay if my brothers under my command destroy the city wall."

Long Feiyu waved his hand and said: "No, we fight to occupy, not to plunder. If the city wall is destroyed, it will have to be repaired after a while. It is much safer to use kerosene."

"Oh, that's fine, what should the Marshal say?"

Long Feiyu took out a blueprint from his pocket, handed it to Lao Li, pointed to the blueprint and said: "Pour the fire oil into the pot, then boil it, cover the cauldron with this conical cap, and then Use a bamboo tube to connect twenty steps away from the top of the cauldron. Pass the bamboo tube over water to let the contents cool down. After the bamboo tube is finished, put it into a wine jar and seal the lid tightly. .”

"By the way, remember to tie cotton to the joystick of the X-ray machine. First, fill the wine jar with water to test it, so as not to crack the jar."

"Oh"

Smart people don't need to talk too much, Lao Li knows what's going on as soon as he hears Long Feiyu's strategy.After Long Feiyu left, he hurried to deal with it.

The governor of Changli is very proud these days. Since the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty army has been invincible.Only he stopped the advance of the Tang Dynasty army.

Seeing that Long Feiyu, who was bravely crowned with three armies, flinched from the city, the prefect of Changli was overjoyed at this moment.With this impressive record, he is enough to be proud of the entire Goguryeo Kingdom.

At this time, he was walking proudly on the city wall, comforting the soldiers in charge of defending the city from time to time.

Seeing where the army of the Tang Dynasty was in the dark under the city, the prefect of Changli was puzzled and looked at the lieutenant beside him and said, "What are the Tang troops doing?"

The deputy general shook his head and said: "I don't know, I saw them busy in the city early this morning. Maybe they are doing something wrong again. But don't be afraid, Changli City has a lot of people, even Tang Junwei in the first half of the year. Don't worry about food."

At this time, under the city of Changli, Long Feiyu was directing Lao Li to calculate the parabola.Officials, big and small, were all gathered here at this time, not knowing what Long Feiyu was going to do.

Lao Li was also puzzled and said: "Marshal, we only need to throw the fire oil into the city, why should we care where we hit?"

Long Feiyu shook his head and said: "No, this must be accurately hit on the top of the city, the wine jar will shatter when it hits the ground, and the kerosene will disperse at that time. These kerosene has been specially purified, and its power is extremely powerful. In an instant It can be burned cleanly, as long as the fire oil is thrown on the city wall, it will not be long before the top of the city will become a sea of ​​flames, and it will become a vacuum in an instant. you can climb the wall."

"But this distance is really difficult to grasp. After a whole morning of experiments, there is still a gap." Lao Li nodded in agreement while defending himself.

"It doesn't matter if there is an error, but it shouldn't be too big, as long as it can ensure that most of them hit the city wall. In order to ensure the use of the trebuchet, I will ask the archers to place the trebuchet at a distance of a hundred steps from the city wall. Calculate Alright position, you just need to move back and forth in that position."

"Yes"

"Long Feiyu, Xue Wanche"

"the end will be"

"When the city is on fire, the two of you will lead the leading troops to the city wall."

"Yes"

"Marshal, the commander of Goguryeo obviously has the idea of ​​fighting to the death. He blocked all four gates with soil. Even if we charge up to the city wall, our force is limited and we will inevitably be attacked and killed by them. There will be quite a lot of casualties."

"Xue Li's words are not unreasonable, but I have considered this point, Lao Li let them see the new weapon."

"Generals, please look north."

As Lao Li's voice fell, everyone looked over at the same time.In the jungle not far away, several 20-meter-long ladders happened to appear there.And this ladder is different from other ladders. The wheels are specially installed on the bottom. As long as it is pushed in front of the city wall, it can be flush with the city wall in an instant. city ​​head.

Seeing the doubts in everyone's eyes, Long Feiyu explained: "Three of these things can be placed side by side to create a road with a width of one foot. As long as Big Brother Feihu and General Xue guard the city, these things will be controlled by others." Lao Li presided over it, Shouyi and Wang Zhuo assisted in completing the construction, and Xue Li and Feiying Xiao Jun rushed to the city after these things were completed. As long as the city wall is occupied, it is only a matter of time before the city gate is opened."

"Very well, the Marshal gives the order."

Long Feiyu nodded, waved his hand and said, "Xue Li, you and Xiao Jun bring the archers and escort me up."

"Yes"

Looking at the Tang army coming from the city like a tide, the guard of Changli had no fear at this time, and waved firmly: "Ready to attack!"

The noisy Tang army stopped a hundred steps away from the city wall. Before the soldiers on the city could react, a black spot suddenly fell from the sky.Watching the black spots fall on the city wall, instead of bleeding like they wanted to hit, they made a crisp sound.

At this time, a group of archers quickly approached the city wall. When they were fifty steps away, they ignited the rocket and threw it towards the sky.Seeing all the rockets, Goguryeo soldiers sneered, what can these rockets do.

But in an instant, they knew Tang Jun's intentions. The rocket fell on the city wall, and the kerosene scattered all over the ground burst into flames.

In an instant, there were screams from the top of the city, and at this moment, the army led by Xue Wanche and Feihu rushed to the bottom of the city wall carrying the ladder.As generals, they are familiar with these things, and they set up the ladder in a short while, and climbed onto the city wall as soon as the flames on the top of the city were extinguished.

Seeing Tang Jun kill him, the surviving Changli prefect quickly waved his weapon and said, "Kill me, and drive Tang Jun out of the city."

Seeing the surging enemy army, Xue Wanche smiled and said, "Brother Feihu, is it left or right?"

"left"

"Okay, I'm on the right."

After saying this, the two men each came to meet them in a team. Seeing that the people on the top of the city had opened up the situation, Long Feiyu waved his hand, and Lao Li rushed over with his masterpiece.

Although the Goguryeo army did not know what the purpose of the ladder pushed by Tang Jun was, it was undoubted that Tang Jun wanted to use it to rush up the city wall.

The guard general of Changli hurriedly waved the long knife in his hand and said: "Kill me, and send Tang Jun down to the city."

"General, the Tang army is approaching menacingly, we can't stop it, let's retreat quickly."

"Retreat? The four gates have been blocked. If you run at this time, you will only die. Where are you going to retreat? Let the archers go up to me and shoot the two leading generals to death. I don't believe that Tang Jun can be brave. When."

"Yes"

Feihu was expanding his battle results, when suddenly the soldiers beside him shouted: "General, what should we do if the enemy recruits archers?"

"Has the floating bridge been erected?"

“A little bit more”

"Rush forward and buy time for the people in the city."

"Yes"

Seeing a large number of archers appearing on the city wall, Long Feiyu's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly shouted to the guards beside him: "Go. Take out the newly made shield, let the soldiers on the city wall take it up quickly, and stand up on both sides of the city wall Shield wall, force Goguryeo soldiers to go down to the city for me."

"Yes"

On the top of the city, there was a rain of arrows, and more than half of the soldiers who followed Feihu and Xue Wanche died.Even if Xue Wanche and Feihu were highly skilled in martial arts, they couldn't withstand such a volley. If they didn't try the soldiers around them to protect them with death, they might have passed away long ago.

Even so, both of them were injured respectively, Feihu was pierced through the shoulder by a sharp arrow, while Xue Wanche was shot in the leg.

Seeing the enemy army fall, the leading Goguryeo soldier shouted: "Soldiers, we have no way to retreat at this time, follow me to kill."

Speaking of leading the army to rush towards the Tang army, Xue Wanche and Feihu rushed forward with the soldiers, enduring the pain.
