Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 415 Street Fighting
"Damn Lu, the city walls can't be defended anymore, and the Tang army's weapons are too powerful." Yang Wanchun said sadly, pointing to the dead bodies outside.

"Then what should we do!" Yuan Taizuo exclaimed in shock.

"Now there is no other way but to let them come in and give it a go in the city. In the city, the threat of their weapons will be much smaller. If you want to fight together, there will always be some considerations." Yang Wanchun clenched his teeth tightly. teeth, suggested afterwards.

"Okay, okay, let's do this, our 40 army will fight them to the death in the city." Yuan Taizuo said with red eyes.

"Since that's the case, it's not too late. Let's organize our personnel separately to boost morale, so as not to cause a rout." Yang Wanchun stretched out his hand to wipe his face covered by flying dust, and said loudly.

When the sound of shelling stopped, the two of them rushed out with their people, regardless of the pain in their ears, and retreated towards the city.

Li Shimin and others chatted and laughed happily, watching the steel cannon slowly destroy the city wall, and the city gate also made the shelling crumbling.

Under Duan Zhixuan's command, the artillery shells had already started to extend towards the city, bombarding them wildly, while a tank went straight forward, and fired a single shot not far from the city gate.

The dilapidated city gate suddenly disappeared, only the crumbling wood and stones behind the city gate.

After another half an hour, the barrels of the tanks and steel guns were too hot to fire, so they stopped.

And the tanks have already filed in along the city gate, and a row of tanks parked inside can be seen from the city gate.

"My Majesty, there is no one at the gate of the city. It seems that Goguryeo wants to fight us in the city." Li Jing looked at it with a telescope for a while, then turned around and said to Li Shimin.

"Wei Gong's arrangement is that I have already said that I will never interfere with the front of the battle." Li Shimin waved his hand generously and said boldly.

"I obey the order!" Li Jing was not polite, agreed, and began to arrange.

For this kind of situation, there have been rehearsals. You must know that this battle was prepared a year ago, and every battle, every general, and every situation has several alternatives.

I saw that following Li Jing's command, sword and shield soldiers, musketeers, and archers began to file in, and many people stretched along both sides of the city wall to surround it.

On the contrary, the cavalry was not allowed to rush forward. Since Goguryeo has made a choice, it is impossible for the city to be completely unprepared, and it is most appropriate to advance gradually.

As the formation slowly unfolded, the sound of musket guns of "Crack! Crack!" has already begun to be heard in the city.

Li Jing led his men up to the city wall, constantly observing the front and making adjustments.

Although Goguryeo has a large number of people, its command is not smooth after all, and Datang is completely opposite. Although its strength is not as large as theirs, experienced veterans are already in groups, ready to fight.

Under Li Jing's order, he couldn't wait to lead people to clean the city piece by piece. Whenever there were many enemies, the people from the adjacent streets would quickly support them, forming a local area to fight more and less.

And there was basically no one directing all of this, and no one asked for help. It was all ad hoc arrangements made by the veterans, and the cooperation was quite tacit. This is a matter of experience.

This is the first time for the Musketeers to participate in large-scale combat, and it is still in a more suitable place, street fighting.

This time it finally showed its power. In the narrow alley, only a few muskets were needed to fire at the same time, and the people in one or two rows in front could be placed in the front, and the guns in the back were fired in turn.

In the street fighting, there was also a huge gap in the equipment. Datang's soldiers in the front not only had full steel armor, but also had shields in their hands, and all the arrows that came were blocked.

The most indispensable thing for Tang soldiers now is a sharpshooter. With bows and arrows, Goguryeo soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

There were not many people in Liaoxi City for a long time, so basically the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had no scruples, and there was no urgency to clean up the houses one by one.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. I ordered you to stand on the spot and attack during the daytime tomorrow, so as not to increase the casualties." Li Jing got off the tower, rode out of the city, and reported to Li Shiminhui.

"That's right, there's no need to fight to the death with Jin Gui, a warrior of the Tang Dynasty. Do a good job of defense, so that the duck in his mouth won't fly away again." Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

Datang warrior Jingui!When this sentence came out of Li Shimin's mouth, it seemed to be of great significance, and it quickly spread throughout the army, raising the morale of all soldiers, secretly moved, and the fighting momentum became stronger, wishing to attack overnight.

…………

The whole night, the two sides lived in peace. Datang did not harass Goguryeo, and Goguryeo was busy appeasing people and boosting morale. He also knew that Datang must be prepared, so he never thought of a sneak attack at all.

The next day was slightly bright, and after the Datang soldiers had eaten, they set off towards their respective targets under the leadership of many veterans.

In order to attack the fortifications, Li Jing dropped the Hercules Legion and the Fanatic Legion to the front, intending to break through the center directly, so that the end of Goguryeo is not connected, and also to divide them into small pieces and eat them.

The fanatics are also led by brothers Lai Heng and Lai Ji. The two brothers have always had a knot in their hearts about the death of their father.

The two rushed over from the two streets in the city, one left and one right, leading the army of fanatics.

The Hercules Legion is led by Xi Junmai, like a group of humanoid monsters, wearing heavy armor, holding weapons and howling, rushing forward.

That heavy step was like a tank advancing, shaking the ground, especially the strange screams in his mouth, and the terrifying mask, which had already chilled the enemy.

And the fanatics were not too shy, leading the way, shouting slogans in unison, shouting for mercy, for the sake of the emperor, while waving butcher knives, saving the heretics.

…………

"Damn Lu, prepare yourself, you will block the Tang army at the end, you should bring your elite to break through." Yang Wanchun said with a wry smile.

Watching the soldiers in front of them be like mowing grass by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they easily tore open gaps one after another, and they were buried and disappeared in a short while. With loud noises and flames, groups of warriors were knocked down to the ground, without even a chance to fight each other.

"Hehe! So what can we do if we break out of the siege? Goguryeo is over! It's over!" Yuan Taizuo leaned against the wall precariously, muttering to himself with a miserable smile.

"Yeah! There is no chance. Datang is too powerful. This time there is no chance at all." Yang Wanchun lost his look in his eyes, stuck the knife into the ground, and grabbed the handle of the knife with force, veins protruding from his hand, and said in agreement.

"I'm old enough to die, so I'll stay here for a while Li Shimin, General Yang, break out, and find a way to see if you can get a chance." Yuan Taizuo struggled to stand up, took a deep breath, and watched firmly. Said from afar.
