The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 860 Blast the city gate

"Hou Ye." Seeing Xuan Shijing and Chang Le like this, Shi Hu didn't know what to say.

"Shi Hu, Xue Rengui, Chang Le and I are both injured now, so I will leave the matter before the battle to you two." Xuan Shijing gritted his teeth and endured the pain and told Shi Hu: "Know what to do. ?"

Shi Hu nodded solemnly: "Master Hou, this subordinate understands, so you can rest assured here."

"Rengui, this battle is an excellent opportunity for you to show your face in front of His Majesty, and cherish it." Xuan Shijing's eyes fell on Xue Rengui: "You have a strategy in your chest, and you should not bury it."

"Master Hou." Xue Rengui cupped his hands, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Xuan Shijing's trembling hand.

"You don't need to say much. Although Benhou is young, you can't be wrong when you look at people." Xuan Shijing grinned at Xue Rengui with a grin, and then said: "Let's all go. Confession here."

Shi Hu and Xue Rengui had no choice but to retreat and rode back to the vanguard camp of the former army.

The carriage carried the injured Xuan Shijing and Chang Le away slowly, and the battle in Liaodong City had just begun.

No matter how slow the marching speed of the army was, it was only halfway to Liaodong City, and it only took two or three miles.

Shi Hu and Xue Rengui had just arrived at the front army, when the dark guard found them and said they were summoned by His Majesty.

His Majesty Li Er summoned them, and the two dared not delay, and immediately followed the hidden guards to His Majesty Li Er's car.

"The last general, Shihu, sees His Majesty."

"The last general, Xue Li, sees His Majesty."

"I already know about Jing'er's injury. There is an accompanying imperial doctor in the camp, and all the medicinal materials are also available. Don't worry about the two of you waiting. If Jing'er is not here, the vanguard battalion will depend on you two. Now the army has arrived in Liaodong." Under the city, has there been any results at the Pioneer Camp?" His Majesty Li Er stood in front of Luanjia and looked at the two of them and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, everything is ready, all you need is an order from Your Majesty." Shi Hu cupped his hands.

Just now, Xue Rengui had visually measured the approximate distance from the main army to the gate of Liaodong City, one thousand steps, the main army could stay here, but he himself could move forward.

Xue Rengui knew that what he was going to shoot was not an ordinary arrow. The arrow head of the arrow he shot was an arrow wrapped in cloth, soaked in oil and lit on fire.

Even if you are sure about your own archery, you must be foolproof. In this case, Xue Rengui doesn't want to be too big, so Xue Rengui plans to shrink to a distance of at least [-] steps for a while, and the arrows Once shot, you must run back quickly. This range is definitely not the safe range for explosives to explode.

Hearing Shi Hu's reply, His Majesty Li Er nodded, and said to Shi Hu: "In this case, let's start, pass on the order, with the sound of the explosion at the west gate of Liaodong City, Liu Yingxing and Zhang Wengan will lead the troops to attack the east gate. Cheng Mingzhen attacked the south gate, and Qu Zhisheng and Wu Heita attacked the north gate. They didn't need to go all out, they only needed to disperse the troops in Liaodong City to the greatest extent. Bi Heli led the cavalry to follow behind, and after entering the city, immediately hand over the Goguryeo soldiers in the city!"

"Yes!" The herald waiting beside His Majesty Li Er took His Majesty Li Er's order and left around Luanjia and walked towards the battalions.

The cavalry led by the two foreign generals, Zhi Shi Si Li and Qi Bi He Li, are the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. If such elites fight on the plains, the lethality is undeniable. However, in the siege war, But it became their shortcoming.

After entering the city, it is the infantry's world.

There are many defenders in Liaodong City, but in the city, there is no such a big space, but they are limited. The armor and weapons of the Tang government soldiers are better than the Koguryo army. It is not 01:30. Without the right time and place, these Goguryeo soldiers fought against Datang's soldiers. Although they had an advantage in numbers, they could not gain any benefits.

Shi Hu and Xue Rengui received the holy order, rode their horses and came to the front of the battle, Xue Rengui took off the strong bow on his back, looked at Shi Hu, and then rode forward silently on horseback, Shi Hu followed closely behind .

Seeing this, some generals in the army began to focus on Xue Rengui. What are these two going to do, bow and arrow?The army was more than 500 steps away from the city wall.

Xue Rengui rode on the horse, estimated to have walked more than 100 steps forward, stopped, and Shi Hu also reined in the horse.

"Four hundred steps?" Shi Hu looked at Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui nodded: "Well, this distance is almost the same."

"As soon as the arrow is fired, we have to retreat quickly." Shi Hu looked at Xue Rengui and said, "It's not just a joke, six hundred catties."

"Now that you say that, I think, is the army too close to the city gate?" Xue Rengui asked.

Shi Hu shook his head: "The distance of a thousand steps is enough. After all, the gunpowder is in the gate of the city. Once it explodes, those Goguryeo people will definitely be the first to suffer."

The pile of gunpowder piled up at the city gate had a big enough target, and Xuan Shijing sprinkled a lot of scattered gunpowder on the lead wire protruding from the gunpowder. As long as Xue Rengui could shoot the gunpowder four hundred steps away , the primer is ignited, it is a sure thing.

Shihu approached Xue Rengui on horseback, took out a special rocket from the quiver hanging beside his saddle, took out a fire pocket, lit the oil-soaked cloth wrapped around the arrow, and handed it to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui took the long arrow, sat on the horseback, bent the bow and set the arrow, and aimed at the direction of the city gate. The strong bow of Wushi was slowly pulled away, and the bow became tighter and tighter, like a crescent moon gradually changing. into a full moon.

"Four hundred steps!" Many people in the army were shocked to see Xue Rengui bending his bow and setting an arrow in front of him. Some experienced generals could tell at a glance that the bow in Xue Rengui's hand was a strong bow of five stones. How strong is this man's arm to be able to stretch it to the full.

"Is this a soldier under Jing'er's command?" His Majesty Li Er's eyes fell on Xue Rengui in front of him, but his voice was asking Deyi beside him.

Dressed in a white robe and armor, in front of the formation of thousands of troops, he bowed his bow and set his arrows, his momentum was like a rainbow, and he showed the appearance of a general for the first time.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this person was originally Shi Hu's robe Ze in the former army. Later, Shi Hu was transferred to Dongshan Houye's command and said that he wanted to take this person there together. As far as I know, this person is Dongshan Houye himself. I came to ask for it." Deyi replied with a bow.

Seeing Xue Rengui's demeanor in front of the battle, His Majesty Li Er's mind became alive. It's a pity that such a talented person should be placed in a small pioneer camp.

His Majesty Li Er looked forward, looking at Xue Rengui with burning eyes.

After Xue Rengui took aim, he calmed down and let go of his fingers, and the flaming sharp arrow pierced through the air.
