Chapter 588: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts
"Why do you have to behave somewhere? Everyone in the world knows that you Li Shimin is ruthless and vicious. Standing on the top of the city tower, Quan Gai Suwen said with a rake.
Hearing Quangai Suwen mocking himself, Comrade Li Er was not in a hurry, but said with a smile: "You Quangai Suwen is not much better than me, but it doesn't matter, I don't want to fight with you for a while, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield." ”
"Hmph, I have twice as many Goguryeo soldiers as you, and you are still attacking the city, I want to see how you get to my city." After speaking, Quangai Suwen walked down the city tower.
Li Eryi saw that Quangai Su Wen was flashing, so he took out his sword and shouted: "Kill!" ”
At the sound of the order, the soldiers behind him raised their shields and moved forward, slowly approaching the tower, and when they entered the range of the Goguryeo soldiers on the tower, the archers on the tower poured out all the arrows in their hands.
Just by approaching the city tower, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fell a lot.
Zhang Nan, who was riding on a horse in the back, was the first time to see this kind of fist-to-flesh siege battle, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were as if they didn't know what death was, and the people around them fell, with no expression on their faces, and they still pushed towards the city tower.
Looking at the batch after batch of fallen soldiers, Zhang Nan was also very uncomfortable in his heart, they were all men who had grown up after eating for more than 20 years, and they fell on the way to the charge, in Zhang Nan's opinion, this kind of death is worthless.
But Li Er, who was beside Zhang Nan, had a usual complexion and a commonplace expression.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work to attack the city like this." Zhang Nan really couldn't bear this kind of death-type siege method. Where is this siege, this is obviously to take the corpses of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to the city wall.
"What's wrong? Isn't that what siege is all about? Li Er said without twisting his head.
"Yichen look, Qingquan is a soldier who feels sorry for us." Cheng Yanjin also sat on the horse and said.
"Why don't I feel distressed? But this is a war, and where can a war not die? That's how I got the Tang Dynasty. Li Er said with a sigh.
People are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? Although Li Er is a general who has experienced a hundred battles, but behind this is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and Li Er does not understand the truth that one will succeed and ten thousand bones are dry, but the war of cold weapons is like this.
Zhang Nan looked at it for a while, and couldn't help it anymore.
"Your Majesty, collect the troops, let's send a hot air balloon to blow it up first, and the lives of our soldiers in Datang can't be lost like this." Zhang Nan opened his mouth to persuade.
"Didn't we build hot air balloons, thunderstorms, kamikaze crossbows and other equipment just to make our soldiers die less? If these weapons are not used, then what is the point of us making them? ”
After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Li Er finally turned his head.
"You mean I'm going to send a hot air balloon up now? This can't be done, there are not only Goguryeo soldiers in this city, but also the people of Silla in it, and if I rashly shoot the hot air balloon up, I will definitely be injured by mistake. Li Erdao.
"But we don't have to fly into the city, let's blow up the city wall first, and then let our men go up when the defenders on the city wall are almost cleared." Zhang Nan said helplessly.
In fact, Zhang Nan really wanted to ignore the people in the city to have an all-round tactical bombardment without dead ends, but Zhang Nan couldn't do it, Zhang Nan was not a murderer, although it was not intentional, but if he killed by mistake, Zhang Nan's heart still couldn't get over this hurdle.
Although they are the people of Silla, they have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Er finally agreed to Zhang Nan's request, and then ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
The soldiers who had just advanced to the bottom of the tower heard the sound of the drums and retreated again, of course, leaving a large number of soldiers on the way.
After the soldiers all retreated, the hot air balloons that followed the battle were all lifted into the air, and one took off without falling, and the hot air balloons that originally carried four to five people were now only one person, and the rest of the positions were all put on the thunder.
The hot air balloon flew towards the city, and the soldiers guarding the city naturally saw it clearly, and Zhang Nan could even hear them shouting above the city tower. But Zhang Nan didn't know what he meant.
In short, the hot air balloon attracted the firepower of all the archers, and all the arrows flew towards the sky, but very few could shoot the hot air balloon, and even if they did, they couldn't even shoot the hot air balloon's air bag.
The city was much stronger than Zhang Nan imagined, although the city wall was not as thick as Chang'an City, but it took five minutes to blow up a small hole in the weak part of the city wall.
As soon as Li Er saw that the city was broken, he immediately ordered the soldiers on the hot air balloon to come back, and then Li Er gave the order to charge again, but this time, the soldiers of Datang did not encounter too many obstacles on the way to the charge, but went all the way to the gap that was blown up.
At this time, the Goguryeo soldiers on the top of the city tower all ran to the bottom of the city tower and started a white-knuckle battle with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Nan watched from such a distance as groups of Tang soldiers poured in from the gap, but none of them retreated, and after waiting for a long time, the gate of the city was finally opened.
Cheng Yanjin saw that the city gate was opened, as if he had received some special call, and laughed: "Your Majesty, the city gate is open, and the old minister has gone in first to open the way for the emperor." ”
After speaking, Cheng Yanjin urged the war horse under his crotch and carried the blade in his hand to the city.
And Zhang Nan and Li Er also rode their horses and began to march towards the city under the protection of a team of personal guards.
The closer he got to the city, the more disgusting the feeling in Zhang Nan's heart became, and after entering the city, Zhang Nan even rode a horse with the feeling of wanting to vomit.
There are corpses everywhere, not to mention the stumps, you can see the arms or hands of the master in almost two steps, this is the cruelty of cold weapons, whether it is the soldiers of Goguryeo or the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they will not be able to fall into a stable way to die.
Not long after Li Er entered the city, he felt that something was wrong.
"Qingquan, do you think it's too easy for us to come in?" Li Er frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhang Nan also endured his nausea and said: "It's a little, their Goguryeo soldiers are twice as many as us, but we didn't encounter much resistance when we entered the city, although we have thunder, but it is only for the purpose of breaking the city, why is it that Quangai Suwen has run into the inner city now?" ”
Li Er didn't speak, but thought about it, and it didn't take long for Li Er to shout: "It's not good, go quickly!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Nan heard the earth-shattering shouts outside the city gate that had just passed.
Then I saw a large number of Goguryeo soldiers pouring in through the gap in the city gate.
