Chapter 343: Jin Yiwei's plan
The arrows on the head of the city instantly shot downward, covering the sky and the sun, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were pushing the siege equipment in front hurriedly hid behind these weapons so as not to be shot by the archers on the city wall.
With this arrow on the city wall, the speed at which they advanced was already greatly slowed.
Xuan Shijing and Xue Rengui sat on horseback, looked at the scene in front of them, and did not urge them, but let them continue to advance with siege equipment as a cover.
Didn't the archers on the walls like to release arrows? Then let them release and see how many arrows there are in their city, and how long they can consume them.
Since Daxing City brought the troops to the city, the city gate has not been opened, and the defenders in the city will inevitably not be able to go out of the city to cut wood, build and reserve all kinds of city defense equipment, and rely on the original city defense equipment in the city, I am afraid that it will not last long.
Two days ago, when the husband and grandson led the troops to attack the Tang army camp at night, they could take away a group of archers, so the arrows in Daxing City were also consumed a lot, and Xuan Shijing also expected that the arrows stored in the city could not withstand their consumption.
The archers on the city wall are out of arrows, and the bows and arrows are useless, so when the time comes, won't the Tang army push the siege equipment soldiers to the city gate?
"My lord, there are not many arrows in our city, and if we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it for long." The general said beside the spring boy.
"When they walk in, let's throw the stone giant tree, in short, we can't let the Tang Army break through Daxing City, otherwise you and I will be finished today." Izumi boy said.
Under the city wall, after three thousand soldiers were killed by the defenders on the city wall after several rounds of arrows, the loss was more than forty percent, but the effect was also very significant, the arrows shot down on the city wall were obviously sparse a lot, and these soldiers pushed these siege equipment and gradually approached the city wall and the city gate.
"Siege!"
With Xue Rengui's order, the Tang army's foot soldiers began to move forward, and seeing this, the spring boy on the city wall hurriedly ordered the archers to bend their bows and shoot at the attacking Tang army again.
And the soldiers on the Tang army's side, the sword and shield soldiers walked in the front, holding shields to resist the arrows shot down from the back of the comrades behind, and the army slowly marched towards the gate of the city wall.
The ladder was already leaning against the city wall, and the ramming wood that attacked the city gate began to hit the city gate one by one.
Starting from the ladder to climb up are still the first to approach the city wall, they are now in a dilemma, no one knows what they are thinking, whether to go up the city wall to turn against each other, or continue to work for the Tang army, Xuan Shijing does not know, Quan boy does not know, so Xuan Shijing let them rush to the front, and Quan boy saw them climb up, ordered the guards on the city wall to block it with rolling stones.
"My lord! We surrender. ”
"My lord, let's go into the city and help you defend the city."
These Goguryeo soldiers climbed on the ladder and shouted in Goguryeo to the spring boys on the city wall.
"Your Excellency." The eyes of the guards on the city wall all looked at the Izumi boy.
"My lord, we can't let them in anymore, although the last general knows that they used to be brothers in our army, but now let them in, the next one to come up is the Tang army, we can't tell the difference, once the city wall is broken by the Tang army, the embankment of thousands of miles will be destroyed in the anthill." The general next to the Izumi boy said.
At the beginning, there were so many Goguryeo deserters who wanted to enter Daxing City after they came back, and they were all released after opening the city gate and accepting strict inspection, not to mention that they are now on the battlefield, at this juncture.
At this moment, the soldiers who had taken the lead before and the Tang army who followed behind were mixed together, and who would identify them one by one whether they were Goguryeo people or whether they were the guards in the city before.
"Push it down!" The Izumi boy's face became serious, and he ordered.
The defenders of the entire city wall continued to move, and began to smash down the people who climbed up the ladder with rolling stones piled up on the wall.
The people on this side of the city gate carried the bumping wood, hitting the city gate one by one, and the defenders behind the city gate were desperately resisting the city gate and preventing the city gate from being broken.
Soon, a gap was opened in the city wall by the Tang army, and the Tang army continued to pour up from this gap, and the Tang army and the Goguryeo guards in Daxing City fought on the city wall.
As soon as the city wall was lost, the city gate was also opened by the crashing wood, and the Tang army behind began to pour into the city from the city gate.
Unable to stay on the city walls, Izumi boys retreated from the walls under the protection of the guards and retreated into the streets.
The sound of knives and guns clashing on the main street of Daxing City was everywhere, and Lao Hei quietly looked out on the courtyard wall of the shop.
He was afraid that the Quan boy was really a dead eye, and he had to live and die with Daxing City, so Jin Yiwei's side temporarily made a decision to let Lao Hei go to the Quan boy's side and help him.
Lao Hei sneaked out of the shop through the back door of the backyard and touched the City Lord's Mansion, where are the guards in the City Lord's Mansion now, and they all went to the street with weapons to fight against the Tang Army.
Lao Hei did not enter the city lord's mansion, but waited at the door, just waiting for the spring boy to come back.
Sure enough, when the battle in the city was at its worst, Quan Nan returned to the City Lord's Mansion under the escort of the general and a few people, and saw Lao Hei at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"What are you doing at this time?" When the boy saw Lao Hei waiting here, his face showed surprise.
"The small people are afraid that the adults will not be able to think about it, so they have to live and die with this big city." Lao Hei said: "Now it seems that Daxing City can't be saved, so Xiaomin is here to persuade the adults to leave." ”
"What are you talking about!" The general glared angrily at the old black.
"Now that we know what the outcome will be, why bother to struggle fearlessly?" Lao Hei said: "My lord, time is pressing, please leave Daxing City from the south gate as soon as possible." ”
The boy stood still, silent, he once thought that even if he returned to Pyongyang City, he would have nothing, what could he do? He did have the idea of dying with Daxingcheng in his heart, but when the matter came, he was shaken when he knew that he could survive.
"My lord, now is not the time to hesitate, there is also this partial general, the 30,000 troops at the north gate have all been pressed up, and the Tang army has 40,000 elites, no matter what, it can't be resisted, in today's form, there is no room for the loss of generals, adults and this partial general, let's leave Daxing City together for the time being." Lao Hei said.
30,000 defenders against 40,000 Tang troops, if the Tang army wants to take Daxing City, there will definitely be some losses, but if Quan boy and the partial generals in the city abandon them, leave Daxing City, and flee for their lives, I am afraid that it will be much easier for the Tang army to fight them.
