Yang Guang watched Li Yuan leave, his eyes looked at everyone in the audience coldly, although he didn't want to retreat, but he knew that it was too late to divide his troops to attack the capital of Goguryeo, so he had to capture Liaodong City first at all costs.

He glanced at everyone coldly, and reprimanded with a murderous face: "You think that you are in a high position, relying on your prominent family background, you have besieged Liaodong City for a month, but a million army can't capture a small city, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are unwilling to work hard, do you think I really dare not kill you?" ”

Yang Guang's tone was extremely harsh, the murderous intent on his body was monstrous, all the generals lowered their heads, trembling in their hearts, knowing that who dared to say no words at this time, Yang Guang would immediately let Yuwen Chengdu come in and pull people down and kill them.

Yang Guang snorted heavily, and said sharply: "Now that there is an epidemic in the army, time can't wait, I will give you one last chance, if you can't capture Liaodong City today, don't blame me for killing a group of people!" ”

……

……

An hour later, the Sui army began to attack Liaodong City again, and it was more fierce than ever.

Yang Guang personally stood on the high platform specially built by Yuwenshu eight hundred steps away, watching the Sui army attack the city with an expressionless face, seeing that Goguryeo was extremely resolute in defending the city, although the twelve generals each selected 5,000 elite soldiers, took turns to attack, and attacked the city several times, but they were all driven down by the Goguryeo people, and the Sui people who went to the city were all killed.

Yang Guang finally realized how stupid his 'benevolence' will was these days, coupled with the fact that the epidemic began to appear in the army, completely knocked his incomparably inflated mind back to the prototype and regained some sanity, so he issued a will: "Spread the order to the whole army, the first one to attack the head of Liaodong City, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be ten thousand silk horses!" ’

After Yang Guang's order was issued, the morale of the Sui army recovered somewhat, the offensive was like a tide, and the ladders pushed to the head of Liaodong City again, but the Goguryeo people in the city were convinced that the Sui people would slaughter the city and tried their best to defend the city, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but Liaodong City was never able to break through.

Of course, this is related to the fact that the morale of the soldiers of the Sui army has been exhausted these days, if the city is attacked like this from the beginning, the soldiers are unfettered to attack the city, even if the Goguryeo people in the city have a strong will to defend the city, the city will be broken.

At this time, seeing that most of the day had passed, and there was no sign of Liaodong City, Yang Guang's face became more and more ugly, and his heart sank to the bottom. Yang Guang, who regained his senses, knew very well that if he could not capture Liaodong City immediately when the epidemic began to appear in the army, then his expedition to Goguryeo would be regarded as a complete failure, which would be too great a blow to him.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Qin An has sent a hundred thousand urgent secret letters." Yuwen Chengdu ran up to the high platform, presented a secret letter with both hands, bowed and said.

Yang Guang's face changed, and he withdrew his gaze from Liaodong City, as soon as he heard that it was 'one hundred thousand urgent', he was worried that Wang Junlin's side would also lose the battle.

Tearing the letter open, after looking at it, Yang Guang's body suddenly shook and roared: "Wang Junlin said that there is a secret treasure to break the city, he sent a small team of people over, where is the team?" ”

Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's just outside the camp." ”

Yang Guang's body trembled and said: "Wang Junlin has never disappointed me, he said that there is a secret treasure to break the city, I believe that his secret treasure will be able to break the city, and ordered Yu Wenshu and other twelve generals to fully cooperate with Wang Junlin's team to break the city." ”

……

……

Although Wang Junlin knew that exposing the gunpowder would bring him a lot of trouble, first of all, Yang Guang's suspicion could not be avoided, and it was difficult to completely conceal some shady things he had done in Fanyang County.

But in order to make the millions of troops and millions of people of the Great Sui die less, he hesitated, but still sent people to send 2,000 catties of gunpowder and five special stone throwing machines, as well as 200 operators.

With these two hundred people came Shan Xiongxin, a cadre under Wang Junlin, he behaved very strongly, whether it was Yuwen Shu, or Pei Shiju, or Yuwen Chengdu, and all the generals, they were not allowed to touch these two thousand catties of gunpowder.

Wang Junlin mentioned in his letter to Yang Guang that he needed the full cooperation of the army here, and out of trust that Wang Junlin was good at creating miracles, Yang Guang also ordered the twelve generals to fully cooperate, and asked Yuwen Chengdu to personally lead 5,000 guards of the Son of Heaven to protect and cooperate with this team.

Although everyone had to cooperate due to the will of His Majesty the Emperor, both the twelve generals and Yuwen Chengdu were quite dissatisfied, Shan Xiongxin ignored their attitude, and just told Yuwen Chengdu that the city-breaking treasure he brought was very dangerous, and once it was not well controlled, the first to destroy it was the Great Song soldiers.

Shan Xiongxin led 200 specially trained operators to spend an hour experimenting with five special trebuchets.

When it was almost afternoon, Yuwen Chengdu put on a military uniform, took the guards of the 5,000 Son of Heaven's army, and said to Shan Xiongxin with a serious face: "If it doesn't work, Wang Junlin will be a bully, and you people will definitely be beheaded by His Majesty's order, so if it doesn't work for a while, you will take your people to die directly on the battlefield!" ”

Shan Xiongxin smiled slightly after listening to Yuwen Chengdu's words, and said, "General Tianbao, rest assured, our grandfather has never missed. ”

Outside the city of Liaodong, under the gloomy sky, once again a dull sound of war drums sounded, the Sui army began to attack the city with all its strength again, and the five thousand heavenly soldiers of the Great Sui who were heavily armored advanced to the gate of Liaodong City step by step, and just walked into the land of a stone's throw when the dense arrow rain of the Goguryeo people fell from three directions.

"Shield!"

Yuwen Chengdu burst into a shout, and countless bright and flickering shields were erected, and soon turned a fast military formation into iron turtles, protecting the two hundred people led by Shan Xiongxin, five stone throwers, and five carts.

The iron turtle was still slowly marching towards Liaodong City.

At the same time, Yu Wenshu ordered the eight bull crossbows to be dragged into Liaodong City by mules and horses, and stopped at a stone's throw away, and all the eight bull crossbows desperately used a winch to wind the eight bull crossbows, a crossbow with thick arms. The gun was placed on the chute, and the stout soldier held the handle of the eight-bull crossbow and aimed at the tall walls of Liaodong City from afar.

Yuwen Chengdu stared at Shan Xiongxin with a relaxed face: "When will your secret treasure be powerful?" ”

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "When the trebuchet can accurately hit the gate of Liaocheng, it also needs other places to suppress and contain the Goguryeo people as much as possible, because we only have one chance, and we must be foolproof." ”

Yuwen Chengdu glanced at Shan Xiongxin deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, your people are pushing your things, between the iron shield array and the crossbow array." ”
