The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 861 Siege!

After Xue Rengui's sharp arrow went out, Shi Hu turned his horse's head and ran towards the back, and Xue Rengui himself quickly turned and left.

Xue Rengui is still very confident about his own arrow.

After the two rode their horses back, there was a cloud of fire and smoke in front of the city gate, and when they ran for about a hundred or two hundred steps, they heard a few loud "booms" behind them.

The sound was like thunder on the ground, shaking people's ears, and the horses under Shi Hu and Xue Rengui's crotch were startled by the sound and stopped, and straightly raised their hooves.

"Woo~~" Shi Hu sat on the horse's back and held the rein tightly, controlling his body to prevent himself from falling off the horse's back.

Not only the horses under the two of them, but also the horses of the cavalry of the army, all of them seemed to be frightened. The knights hurried to appease their partners, and the restlessness finally calmed down.

It took a long time for the smoke in front of the city gate to dissipate.

This sound not only startled Tang Jun who was already prepared, but also the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were scared out of their wits by this sound.

This city gate is the closest to them.

There were many Goguryeo soldiers in Liaodong City behind the city gate. The explosion shattered the entire city gate into pieces, and the broken pieces injured many Goguryeo soldiers. Goguryeo soldiers did not dare to go forward.

The thick smoke cleared, and the gate of Liaodong City was wide open, but there was no Goguryeo soldier in front of the gate.

Seeing this, the generals in the army began to mobilize their troops and rushed towards the gate of Liaodong City.

The infantry rushed forward, and the cavalry lined up on both sides. Once the Goguryeo soldiers in the city rushed out, the cavalry could speed up and charge forward.

The credit for breaking the city is right in front of you.

"Pioneer battalion! Charge into the formation!" Shi Hu yelled, and then rushed out with a long knife and horse. The soldiers of the vanguard battalion had better horses, and they were comparable to the cavalry in the pass. of.

This is the vanguard battalion trained by Xuan Shijing. Whether it is infantry or cavalry combat, they can be called elites. After all, these soldiers have also experienced large and small wars and seen blood in the past month or so before Liaodong City. .

The commander on the city wall saw that the Tang army was starting to charge, and quickly mobilized soldiers to go out of the city to meet the enemy. The Tang army was so imposing that they must not be allowed to rush into the city.

Now that the city gate is broken, we can only mobilize personnel to fight the Tang army outside the city. Fortunately, the number of defenders on the west gate is the largest among the four gates. With enough time to repair the city gate, if the enemy wants to blow up the gate again, they must not be allowed to succeed a second time.

The west gate of Liaodong City quickly gathered [-] Goguryeo soldiers and hurried out of the city.

"My lord, the other three gates are also being attacked by Tang's troops."

"For the other three gates, Tang Jun will not be able to enter for a while, so hurry up and mobilize people to block the west gate!"

"Yes!"

A large number of Goguryeo soldiers emerged at the city gate, and the rear army of the Tang army heard the sound of "dong dong" drums.

After hearing the sound of the drum, the cavalry on the flanks rushed forward quickly, and the cavalry on both wings began to accelerate, running to the front of the infantry and gathering in the middle, ready to attack the Goguryeo infantry coming out of the city.

The short-term panic in Liaodong City did not allow them to immediately organize cavalry to counter the Tang cavalry's charge. Therefore, when the infantry confronted the cavalry of the Tang army, they were only dispersed by a wave of formation and lost manpower in vain.

After a wave of charge, the infantry also arrived in front of the city gate, and the Goguryeo army and the Tang army fought outside the city of Liaodong.

Xue Rengui and Shi Hu took the lead, one with a knife and the other with a halberd like a tiger descending a mountain, rushing into the Goguryeo soldiers and hacking and killing them.

Knowing that his Lord Hou was injured, Shi Hu was already angry with me, and this was all a good thing done by the Goguryeo people in front of him!It's okay to let my Lord Hou get hurt?

Although the Tang army was brave, Liaodong City had an advantage in numbers, but the battle was stalemate in the open space in front of the city gate.

The Pioneer Battalion managed to break through the confrontation for so many days, this opportunity should not be wasted.His Majesty Li Er stood at a high place behind and watched the whole battle situation with his eyes still calm.

"Ke'er."

"My son is here." Li Ke stepped forward and saluted.

"Take five thousand Xuanjia troops, press up and break the current situation." His Majesty Li Er said indifferently.

"Father, the Xuanjia Army is responsible for protecting your safety. Although the battle is stalemate, but it is not defeated, please think twice." Li Ke cupped his hands and said.

His Majesty Li Er smiled, and turned to look at Li Ke: "As it is now, do you think the Goguryeo people in the city can still threaten me? Go ahead, I have guards here to protect me, even if there is such a two A three-legged cat, I can handle it."

"Yes." Li Ke responded, then turned and left to greet the Xuanjia Army to start charging.

The Xuanjia Army is composed of the elite of the Tang Dynasty, wearing Xuanjia and holding sharp weapons. As long as the Xuanjia Army enters the battlefield and encounters the enemy, it will be a crushing massacre, but this time, the Xuanjia Army's The number is not much, although it is not much, but for now, it is enough to turn the balance of the battlefield to Datang's side.

The five thousand Xuanjia troops formed a torrent and rushed straight to the distant battlefield.

Xuan Shijing and Chang Le were in the carriage and were sent into the barracks by His Majesty Li Er's hidden guards. Once they entered the barracks and sent them to the imperial doctor's tent, the hidden guards disappeared.

At this time, Chang Le had already passed out, and Xuan Shijing barely supported himself to keep his consciousness clear. It wasn't because he was bleeding too much, but because it hurt too much.

The piercing pain from the three wounds on his body was even more unbearable than the feeling of being thrown into the medicine bucket and about to be cooked.

Seeing Xuan Shijing and Chang Le being carried in, the three imperial doctors in the tent hurriedly prepared medicine boxes for them.

Xuan Shijing was laid flat on the bed, and the imperial doctor took the pulse, and now the pulse is still stable, and he can directly pull out half of the arrow.

"Master Hou, it will hurt when you pull out the arrow. You must grit your teeth and hold on. As long as the arrow is pulled out, it will be fine after taking medicine for a period of time." Seeing Xuan Shijing's consciousness is not bad. After waking up, the imperial doctor hurriedly ordered: "You must hold on."

Xuan Shijing nodded with difficulty.

The imperial doctor folded one cloth towel and stuffed it into Xuan Shijing's mouth, and the imperial doctor on the other side did the same with Chang Le.

Two imperial doctors were treating patients, and the other imperial doctor was free to give them a hand.

The imperial doctor held Xuan Shijing around the wound, held the shaft of the arrow with his other hand, and pulled out half of the arrow with force.
