With Yuan Taizuo's order, in the streets and alleys of Liaodong City in the rear, more than 10,000 archers who had already been prepared, under the cover of the people holding the door panels, quickly ascended to the top of the city from six or seven passages to the upper city, from time to time some unlucky unlucky ghosts were hit by the arrows and stones of the Sui army, and fell off the city with a scream, but the companions behind did not hesitate and stay for half a minute, like six or seven earthy yellow streams, and continued to pour up to the city.

The defenders at the head of the city were under the command of their respective captains, and they withdrew from the four or five stairs on the other side in an orderly manner, some of them had arrows stuck in their bodies, and blood kept flowing out of the arrows, staining the white feathered arrows with blood red, but these brave men did not care just now, and still stood in place to shoot at the Sui army under the city, until this time, these warriors began to tear off the cloth strips on their bodies while running, and the seven thousand archers at the head of the city were now withdrawn less than two thousand, Compared to the 10,000 reinforcements that densely went up to the city, the number was much less.

With the addition of a large number of new forces, the bow and arrow firepower at the head of the city weakened for a few minutes when the defense was changed just now, and suddenly became several times stronger, and the Sui army under the city had been under the cover of the shield of its own side, and gradually advanced to a place about thirty steps away from the city wall, and even many people simply drilled out the shield directly, and shot at the head of the city, and some of the archery masters were even more direct to the Goguryeo archers at the head of the city one by one, this kind of precision strike, so that the casualties of the Goguryeo army rose sharply, It is also the direct reason why the 7,000 archers could not shoot 2,000 people.

However, this kind of bow and arrow shooting is a process of eliminating and rising, and the firepower on the opposite city is weakened, so that the Sui army under the city can boldly come out and shoot. On the contrary, if the fire at the head of the city continues to be strong. Then it will be difficult for them to even come out of the shield array. I can only take the time to dodge and release a few cold arrows, and it is impossible to stand outside and continue to shoot explosively.

But as Goguryeo's new army went up to the city, in the blink of an eye, the arrows shot at the head of the city turned from a trickle just now to a surging wave, and the black oppressive arrow cloud covered the sky and poured out towards the Sui archers standing outside the shield array outside the city. Shoot piles of people to the ground in an instant, and never get up again.

The strength and weakness of the momentum was reversed in an instant, and the archers of the Sui army, who had already had the upper hand, were hit hard by the sudden blow, and they shot high with a low shot, which was a great disadvantage, plus the Goguryeo army instantly surpassed in numbers, and they were all new forces, and the speed and strength of the arrows were much stronger than those companions who had been shooting for more than an hour just now, and it was a blink of an eye. It was three or four rounds of arrow rain purging, and the Sui army threw down more than 2,000 corpses. The living people once again hid in the shield wall twenty paces behind, and if it weren't for the shock of the heads of the dozen deserters behind them, even the infantry with shields would have slipped back to the starting position.

Yang Guang's originally smiling face suddenly became cloudy again, he turned his head to look at Yuwenshu, pointed to the opposite city wall and said, "General Yuwen, what's going on?" Our side has obviously achieved a long-range advantage, but where did this Goguryeo new force shoot us back? ”

Yuwenshu sighed: "Goguryeo in the city also has more than 100,000 troops, plus the people temporarily recruited, there are two or three hundred thousand soldiers who can fight, the Goguryeo people's living conditions are difficult, even women and children, they are good at archery, head-on or not, but relying on the height advantage and cover of the city wall, it is not the slightest lagging behind, in the past two months, our army has lost the most archers, and has lost thirty or forty thousand people, but the counterattack force in the city is endless, every time, the city can be replenished constantly, Shooting all day won't deplete their power. ”

Yang Guang's brows furrowed: "If you don't suppress the bow and arrows at the head of the city, how can you capture this city?" General Yuwen, do you have any good ideas? ”

Yuwenshu's eyes flashed coldly: "Then unless it is the life of the three armies, braving the rain of arrows of the Goguryeo army to force the attack, as long as they can attack the city, the Goguryeo archers will not be able to play." ”

Yang Guang hesitated for a moment, although he was a military novice, he also knew that this level of dense arrow rain could not even stand the archers shooting under the city, and how could the infantry who set up ladders and rush to attack the city without cover be able to stand it? The corners of his mouth hooked: "Can you really force it?" ”

Yuwenshu gritted his teeth: "You can't be afraid of the dead in a war, the Goguryeo people are like this at the head of the city, our army's strength advantage cannot be displayed, and now the stones of the catapult are almost smashed, only relying on the archers, that is, twenty or thirty thousand people can shoot to the head of the city, and with low shooting high, there are also city walls and battlements at the head of the city for protection, our army is at a big loss, and they can't be suppressed at all, but if the ants are attached to the siege of the city, then the Goguryeo people have to take care of one and lose the other, if they shoot our siege infantry, then our archers can take the opportunity to release arrows, The head of the city can accommodate a maximum of 10,000 or 20,000 people, and it is impossible to shoot all our besieging troops to death. ”

Yang Guang suddenly came back to his strength, and said with a smile: "In this case, there is still General Lao Yuwen who has bothered to do his best, and spread my will, if you can capture Liaodong City today, the first warrior to climb the head of Goguryeo City will be rewarded with millions of dollars and sealed the Pillar Kingdom!" ”

The muscles at the corners of Yu Wenshu's mouth jumped, and he said with a smile: "Okay, then the minister will go to the front line to command, if he doesn't attack the city, the minister will never come back to see Your Majesty!" ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, Yuwen Shu galloped to the front army, Yuwen Chengdu was about a mile away from the city wall, carrying the phoenix wings flowing golden bell, like a trapped beast, walking around incessantly, the bell head was already dripping with blood, more than half of the dozen heads hanging on the big flagpole on one side were cut down by him personally, and it was precisely because of the fear of the majesty of this killing god that the soldiers on the front line were stubborn and still gritting their teeth and fighting hard.

Yesterday, Yuwenshu boasted about Haikou in front of Yang Guang, and set up a military order, he must attack the head of Liaodong City today, so today he also worked hard to let his precious grandson personally supervise the battle, and Shen Guang was arranged to the side, this Yang Guang's baby guard, Yuwenshu didn't dare to let him take the risk himself, not to mention, he didn't want this famous meat flying fairy to rob his grandson's head work.

A sound of horses' hooves sounded, Yuwen Chengdu and Shen Guang turned their heads in unison, only to see Yuwen Shu with more than a dozen guards, galloping over, and before he could get off his horse, he said in a deep voice: "Pass my general's order, the infantry will forcibly attack the city, General Shen, you will personally lead the team to attack!"
