"Yuan Gai Suwen is not so stupid, if I am Yuan Taizuo, I will only take care of this Li Xiaoli's family." Yang Kongtang, who didn't speak, suddenly sneered.

Wang Junlin thought for a moment, then nodded, and said to Yang Kongtang: "Do you think of letting the Goguryeo people know that Li Xiaoli is still alive, or hiding him for the time being?" ”

Yang Kongtang said as a matter of course: "Naturally, let the people of Goguryeo know that Yuan Taizuo has no other choice, he must kill Li Xiaoli's family members to set an example, so as to cut off Li Xiaoli's way back, so that Li Xiaoli can really be regarded as our person, and when the time comes, we can let the secret agents lurking in Goguryeo inquire about the news and confirm whether it is really handled like this, and you can also confirm whether Li Xiaoli is a trap in Goguryeo." ”

Wang Junlin nodded, and agreed with Yang Kongtang's statement, turned his head to Zhang Tiangang and said: "Don't let that Li Xiaoli get in touch with confidential matters, temporarily put it under your subordinates, and ask more things from him, this person used to be a general of the water division and a nobleman, and he should know a lot about the government and domestic situation in Goguryeo." ”

"Ignorance, understood!" Zhang Tiangang agreed, bowed and saluted, and then went to arrange.

Wang Junlin let the big boat approach the south of Bailing Island, looking north along the moat of Nancheng, the protruding horse faces made him feel more at ease. The Horse Face increases the ranged attack power from the side, greatly reducing the dead space under the city.

The cities on Bailing Island were remodeled on the basis of the fortress model of later generations, and they were all concave in shape, with almost no dead ends, giving the defenders a great advantage. This method of construction did not appear in China until the Ming Dynasty in the original history.

Between the earthen wall and the wall there was a fifty-pace-wide flat ground, and a two-zhang wide moat, behind which sat two hundred soldiers, who were always on standby.

The earthen wall had an acute protrusion at intervals, and there was a trench two zhang wide in front of it, and for the Goguryeo army, any attack would eventually face this trench, and the second earthen wall was different from the first, and there was no low breast wall behind the ditch, but directly facing the earthen wall one foot and two feet high.

Wang Junlin knew that the trench was full of sharp wooden stakes, and according to the defensive plan he had set with his people, the trench would be temporarily sprinkled with patches of thistles.

Behind this trench was the first earthen wall, at which point Goguryeo attacked again, piercing stone bullets and crossbows. The sound of guns breaking through the air kept ringing out, and powerful commands rang out everywhere.

There are dozens of steps of flat ground between the two earthen walls, and the soldiers can quickly move behind the earthen walls, and the inside of the earthen walls is at a gentle angle, and the soldiers can easily climb the top of the wall from anywhere. At this time, most of the crossbowmen at the head of the wall were crossbowmen, and the spearmen and sword and shield men sat in the open space at the base of the earthen wall.

Wang Junlin's private army, whether it was the men and horses of the salt field, or the sailors on Snake Island, or even the thousands of men and horses hidden in the back mountain of the Lu clan led by Wei Chi Jingde, were all equipped with specially trained medical guards, and at this time, in the safety between the two earthen walls, every fifty paces, there were two medical guards.

After Wang Junlin observed them one by one with a telescope, he nodded with satisfaction, Liu Yidong did not let himself down, everything was in order, and all of them showed the excellent quality of the Snake Island sailor generals who had been trained by Nie Xiaoyu.

Wang Junlin felt a kind of excitement at this time, because today's war was a test of some combat methods and patterns of the private soldiers he had trained on Snake Island and Yanchang, and that feeling was completely different from his previous fight against the Tuyuhun and Turkic people in Yongzhou in the northwest.

At this time, in the distance north of the city is a piece of Goguryeo army formation, after the trial, Yuangai Suwen re-ordered a strong attack, the front of the earthen wall was covered with hundreds of shield carts, many shield carts were beaten to pieces, the ground was full of horizontal and vertical wood and corpses, the shield workshop countless Goguryeo auxiliaries were filling the potholes, and many people even ran to the front of the shield carts.

The ant-dense Goguryeo auxiliaries pushed the shield cart forward, and more auxiliaries behind filled the small potholes, and they had filled the potholes dozens of paces ahead, but the signal to withdraw the troops had not yet sounded.

The catapults on both sides bombarded each other, but the accuracy of the Goguryeo people was too poor, on the contrary, the stone bullets fired by Wang Junlin's side smashed the shield carts one by one with a scream, and countless auxiliaries were beaten to the flesh and blood, but they still could not stop the auxiliary soldiers from approaching step by step, and the Goguryeo soldiers who supervised the battle forced the auxiliaries to move forward and shot the retreating auxiliaries without mercy.

After several successive volleys from Wang Junlin's side, more than a dozen Goguryeo shield chariots were broken into decomposed wooden blocks, and the auxiliaries suffered casualties from the blows of those wooden blocks.

The Goguryeo shield chariot array was shattered, and behind those crooked and tattered shield chariots were countless auxiliary soldiers who were still busy, and long-range crossbows and stone bullets continued to attack the Goguryeo auxiliaries, turning them into flying pieces of stumps, turning Goguryeo's pit filling into an expensive job.

At this time, at the head of the city, Liu Yidong's banner waved, and after a drum sounded, several groups of soldiers from Wang Junlin's side rushed out of several passages at the same time, and they ran from the passage to the outermost horse barrier, and then jumped into the half-human-high curved horse barrier, and used the continuous crossbow in their hands to shoot at the Goguryeo soldiers who had lost cover.

The dense barrage of crossbow arrows left the Goguryeo soldiers no longer able to fill the pit and hid behind the remaining shield carts, and the archers flashed in the shield workshop, firing at the soldiers of the king's side with their heads exposed.

A group of auxiliaries were escorted by several Goguryeo armor-piercing soldiers in a vain attempt to continue filling the trench, and they attracted the attention of the soldiers on Wang Junlin's side, and a volley was fired, and the dense auxiliaries howled miserably.

The remaining auxiliaries scattered and fled, being shot dead by Goguryeo's bows and arrows, followed by another group of auxiliaries who tried to continue the advance, but this group of auxiliaries was again wiped out by both sides.

Although Wang Junlin had heard that a large number of auxiliary soldiers used as cannon fodder existed in the siege of the Goguryeo people, he was still a little surprised to see it today, thinking that the lives of the Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers seemed so cheap in the flying firepower of the opposing sides, and it was so humble that it was only worth a piece of sawdust that flew out.

The soldiers on the earthen wall of Wang Junlin's side increased the speed of their long-range attacks, and the fragments of the shield cart after breaking were like a bomb, more powerful than stone bullets and long-range crossbows. Yuangai Suwen, who was standing on a high place in the rear to watch the battle, finally couldn't bear the casualties, and ordered the rear formation to sound gold twice, and the Goguryeo soldiers who pressed the formation retreated, and the Goguryeo soldiers on the front line retreated like a tide.

As soon as the trumpet sounded on the earthen wall of Wang Junlin's side, several officers commanded loudly, and the soldiers jumped out of the horse barrier, lined up through the remaining potholes, shouted and rushed to the position of the shield line, chased the retreating Goguryeo soldiers with their crossbows, and shot more than 100 people, but did not catch up, but immediately killed the wounded Goguryeo soldiers on the ground with their swords.
