The dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and even those who did not understand astronomy could see that the weather was about to snow, but it was also on this morning that the north wind suddenly stopped, and even began to blow the south wind, although the wind was not strong, but it was indeed a south wind.

"The whole army is ready to attack the city!" With Qin Qiong's order, 30,000 Tang army soldiers were also immediately ready to attack the city, and Li Xiu, Cheng Yanjin and others also climbed the pill capital mountain again, only to see that the pill capital city under the clouds seemed to be a little more solemn than before.

The Goguryeo people in the city of Marudu also discovered the movement of the Tang army, and immediately reported it to Quangai Suwen and his son, which made them immediately rush to the head of the city, and while observing the movements of the Tang army, they ordered the whole army to prepare for defense.

"Father, seeing that it is about to snow, Tang Jun will not be unable to hold back at this time, so he has to fight to the death, right?" Quan Nanjian looked at the murderous Tang army on the other side, and then said a little incredible, since the last time the Tang army tentatively attacked once, there has been no movement, even if they take the initiative to attack out of the city, first, they want to see if they can take the mountain road back, and secondly, they also want to provoke the Tang army, but the other party still has no reaction.

Today is so cloudy, and the north wind that has been blowing for a few days suddenly stopped, people who are familiar with the climate know that generally like this situation, the wind stops actually means that it is about to snow, which makes Quangai Suwen father and son also very happy, and even hope that the snow is bigger, it is best to block the road, and then the Tang army in the domestic city has no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, see how they survive this winter?

It's just that what the Quan's father and son didn't expect was that the Tang army chose to attack the city at this time, but Quangai Suwen was not nervous at all at this time, and said with a calm smile at the moment: "If I were the chief general of the Tang army, I am afraid that I would also seize this last opportunity to fight to the death, but the final result may disappoint them!" ”

As soon as Quan Gai Suwen's words fell, he suddenly saw a huge object rising in the Tang army in front of him, and the experienced Goguryeo people were not surprised by this, Quan Nanjian was even more surprised: "How did the Tang army raise the hot air balloon at this time, do they still want to observe the situation in the city?" ”

Quangai Suwen also showed a solemn expression at this time, it was not the first time he had made friends with the Tang army, generally at the beginning of the battle, the Tang army would send a hot air balloon into the air to observe and know, but when it came to the real battle, the hot air balloon did not play a big role at all, so it was really strange that the Tang army sent a hot air balloon at this time.

"This hot air balloon seems to be a lot bigger than the one Tang Jun used before?" At this moment, I saw Quan Nanjian muttering to himself again, which also reminded Quan Gai Suwen that he also felt a little different when he saw the hot air balloon just now, and now he found out that this hot air balloon is indeed relatively large, at least two or three times larger than the one used before?

I saw that after the Tang Army's hot air balloon lifted into the air, it began to slowly float towards the gate of Marudu City, Quangai Suwen looked at the hot air balloon that was getting closer and closer, and he also had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong, and the Tang Army's hot air balloon today was also a little strange, because it flew very low, about dozens of zhang, although the general bow and arrow could not shoot so high, but there were mountains all around, and it was still dangerous for the hot air balloon to fly so low.

"What is Tang Jun going to do, send a hot air balloon to fly above our heads, do you want people to jump off the hot air balloon and knock down our city gates?" Quan Nanjian looked at the hot air balloon above his head with his neck tilted his neck at this time, and said with a somewhat playful expression at the moment, although this hot air balloon is bigger than the one he has seen before, but if he dies, he will carry a few more soldiers, and it is impossible to pose any threat to them.

Quangai Suwen was also observing the hot air balloon above his head at this time, but he soon found that the hot air balloon was parked in a very strange position in the air, not directly above their heads, but above the two fortresses in front of the door, which made him immediately realize that something was wrong, especially when he saw the two suspended bridges connected to the city wall behind the fortress, he showed a shocked expression and shouted: "Not good, their goal is the suspension bridge!" ”

Quangai Suwen discovered the intentions of the Tang army, but it was too late at this time, as soon as his words came out, he saw that in the hanging basket of the hot air balloon above his head, a few soldiers immediately came out, and then threw the ignited oil canisters to the suspension bridge behind the fortress, these people were specially selected by the army, and they had been trained for a few days before, and they threw things very accurately, even if some of the oil canisters failed at the beginning, but there were always a few people who fell on the bridge deck.

The oil tank is made of stoneware, the belly is large and the mouth is small, the mouth of the tank is stuffed with an oilcloth, the fuel cloth is thrown out when used, and the clay pot falls to the ground and explodes, and the oil is immediately ignited, and the entire bridge deck is full of flames for a while, especially the wooden planks laid on the bridge, which are soon burned into a ball, and even the iron chain of traction is burned red.

With the two suspended bridges being ignited, the fortresses on the two peaks in front of the city gate also temporarily lost contact with the city wall, and then the Tang army launched an attack on the city gate under the command of Qin Qiong, this time it was not the kind of tentative attack last time, but a real general attack, all kinds of siege equipment were lined up, trebuchets and bed crossbows were all aimed at the fortresses on the two mountain peaks, and the siege vehicles below were also desperately pushing forward, even the rain of arrows of the Goguryeo people could not stop them from half a step.

The two peaks are very steep, but the area on the top of the mountain is not large, and the materials stored behind the fortress are also very limited, and the city wall is usually required to continuously transport the materials needed to the fortress, and now the hanging bridge is cut off by fire, and the fortress has lost contact with the city wall, not only the materials can not be replenished, but also the people's hearts are also chaotic, coupled with the onslaught of the Tang army, they are even more confused, and they are too busy to take care of themselves for a while, let alone stop the Tang army below.

Without the threat on the peaks on both sides, the Tang army finally went under the city gate under the rain of arrows on the city, and at this time the Goguryeo people also went crazy, and threw all kinds of rolling wood and stones without money, in order to prevent the Tang army from approaching the city gate, but the Tang army was also red-eyed at this time, and seeing that the city gate was in sight, Qin Qiong sent troops to rush forward regardless of casualties at this time, and finally a team finally killed under the city gate, and then there was a turtle cart to deliver the siege tube.

"Arranged!" Quangai Suwen saw the Tang army kill under the city gate, and he was also shocked and anxious at the moment, and then ran down the city with a roar, commanding the army to arrange a defense line behind the city gate, because he knew that as long as the Tang army killed the city gate, it meant that the city gate could not be saved.

With a loud sound of "boom~", the main gate of Marudu City was also blown to pieces, and I don't know how much gunpowder the Tang army used this time, even if Quangai Suwen had asked people to block the city gate hole with stones before, it was also blown up at this time, and then the Tang army climbed over the pile of rocks and killed into the city.

"The city gate has been broken, and the one who kills Quangai Suwen will be crowned marquis, and a reward will be given!" Qin Qiong saw that the city gate was blown open, and he also roared excitedly at the moment, as the so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, and with the importance of Quangai Suwen now, such a reward is nothing at all.

Before being blocked outside the city of Marudu, the Tang army was already holding back the fire, and then heard that the court had a heavy reward, so naturally it was even more courageous, and one team after another of the Tang army entered the city, and even some people began to climb the city from the city and fight with the Goguryeo people on the city, which shows that the Tang army has opened a gap at the city gate, and even the Tang army has started the sundries at the city gate to facilitate the army to enter the city.

The battle for the city gate lasted until noon, and as the Tang army continued to enter the city, the Goguryeo people at the city gate finally began to retreat, but Quangai Suwen was unwilling to fail, and still laid layers of defense in the city, and it was not easy for the Tang army to kill it.

After controlling the city gate, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin also came to the battle array, commanding the army to rush along the streets, trying to clean up the defense line of the Goguryeo people, and at this time Qin Qiong also made a bloody investment, and the firearms and oil canisters stored in the general were all used, as long as they encountered the defense line of the Goguryeo people, they first threw a burst of firearms over, and even began to throw fire oil canisters to burn the house, because some Goguryeo people hid in the house and attacked the Tang army, which also brought a lot of casualties to the Tang army.

In this case, the city of Marudu soon burst into flames, and the ancient capital of the Goguryeo people once again ushered in a heavy disaster, and there were fleeing Goguryeo people everywhere, after all, there were not only Goguryeo troops in this city, but also some ordinary people living in this city, but they couldn't take care of these on the battlefield, and the Tang army's slaughter of the city in the domain diplomatic war was also very common, especially Cheng Yanjin, the butcher, would not care about the life and death of these ordinary people.

Li Xiu was not used to the blood and cruelty on the battlefield, so at the beginning, he did not enter the city, but as time passed, seeing that the sun had set in the west, the battle in the city still did not end, which made him anxious, although the good news came out of the city, after all, it was going to be dark, if he failed to occupy the whole city during the day, he might usher in another bitter battle at night.

Li Xiu's worries finally became a reality, and the fighting in the city continued until the night, but at this time Qin Qiong also began to turn from offensive to defensive, because the Tang army was not familiar with the terrain in the city, and it was too dark at night, so it was easy to be attacked by the enemy, so he also began to shrink the defensive line, and at the same time consolidate the area he had occupied.

Li Xiu outside the city was also worried that Quangai Suwen would escape again, fortunately, there were only three gates in Marudu City, in addition to the main gate that had been knocked down, the water gate in the northeast was also controlled by the Tang army, and only the southwest gate was still in the hands of Goguryeo, so Li Xiu also sent people to guard outside the gate, and at the same time strengthened the defense of the downhill passage, after all, there was only one way down the mountain, and he didn't believe that Quangai Suwen could fly out!
