Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 439

In the middle of the night, the sound of artillery fire sounded again, and another [-] slave soldiers charged forward.

It was quickly repulsed by the artillery, and the opponent had no action again.

Li Xiaogong knew that the other party was testing, but he couldn't figure out, what was the other party's plan?

After waiting for three days, through the binoculars, Li Xiaogong finally saw the new rows of artillery that appeared in the enemy's formation.

He ordered people to count them through binoculars, and there were four thousand doors, or even more.

"Where did this Goguryeo find such a large amount of iron?"

In the entire Tang Dynasty, there are less than [-] cannons, but there are [-] gates in the slave city of Goguryeo, and there are [-] in hand. It seems that there should be more.

Li Xiaogong's question was quickly answered.

Eleven smiled bitterly and said, "What if Goguryeo has iron mines?"

Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Send out of the city, if we really let them set up a posture, we will not be able to defend this city!"

There are quite a few generals under Li Xiaogong, if one is famous, it is Guo Shi.

The three dynasties were all Shangzhu kingdoms, descendants of the famous families of the Tang Dynasty.

"Commander, Eleventh General, the last general is willing to lead the army out of the city at night, and when the opponent is unprepared tomorrow, listen to the sound of cannons and strike!"

Li Xiaogong casually picked up the token from the table, "Military orders are like mountains, do you dare to die?"

Master Guo replied: "As a person of the Great Tang Dynasty, death is the soul of the Great Tang Dynasty, and the final general will never be afraid of life and death!"

"catch!"

"Thank you, Master!"

"The commander can only give you 5000 people, and what you have to do is to destroy the opponent's artillery array!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Eleven said to Guo Shi: "Take more gunpowder with you, leave some thoughts for the brothers, and then you go out of the city at night."

If you go here, you will definitely die. There is no possibility of escaping from five thousand to tens of thousands.

If it weren't for worrying that too few people would be unable to break through the opponent's human barrier, Li Xiaogong might not even be willing to prepare 5000 people.

Master Guo led the order to retreat and went to fetch gunpowder to distribute to the soldiers who were going to die.

The lead wire is at the waist, and the torch dare not be lightly turned on.

"Haircut!"

Pull out the knife, cut off all of them, and hand them over to your colleagues.

I hope they can bring their relics back to Datang, and miss their loved ones at home, but it is a pity that the country and the family hate each other, so how can they be greedy for life and afraid of death?

There is only one battle!

One-sixth was lost in an instant, which was even more of a test for Tang Jun.

To tell you the truth, those hundreds of thousands of people pressed the border, and heaps could kill them.

It's just that the opponent's generals are not so impulsive. After all, if they really want to do this, there may not be many Goguryeo people who can survive.

The torches were lit, and Guo Shi led the army, leaving Liaocheng in the dark, and detoured to the trail where they had been before, waiting for the attack of the second day of the war.

Yuan Nanchan had [-] cannons in full battle, ready to attack Liao City.

It took nearly a month to go back and forth, and my father might feel that he was not good at handling things.

Yuan Nanchan didn't want it, because a small city of Liao affected his desire to seize the throne.

You need to know that the war between Datang and Goguryeo has just begun.

Since Goguryeo was able to take Washima, it proves that the opponent's sea troops are by no means a minority, but they haven't really made a move yet.

On the other side, Li Shimin is also preparing.

All the staff of the Ministry of Industry were mobilized to build ships and guns. Tens of thousands of craftsmen worked day and night, and it was difficult to stop.

Li Shimin was waiting, and Yuan Gai Suwen was also waiting, but the difference was that Yuan Gai Suwen was waiting for an opportunity.

The war in the front is constantly escalating, and Li Shimin has prepared 20 soldiers and horses in the rear. The food and grass dispatched from all over the country are enough to support these 20 people to fight for three years!

However, Li Shimin didn't know that Yuan Gai Suwen had done more preparations than him.

Datang is a dragon, Goguryeo is at best a jackal.As for biting off a piece of dragon meat, he really wanted to eat Datang, but Yuan Gai Suwen knew that he didn't have the ability.

Many days later, the latest military news came back from the front.

After watching it, Li Shimin remained silent for a long time, "Five thousand soldiers, is that all?"

Are you talking about Master Guo and the others?
Did the previous plan fail?

In fact, it is not a failure, it can only be said to be a small part.

Although the suicide attack made the Goguryeo army a little flustered, in the face of several times the enemy, countless people died at every step forward.

When they really rushed in front of the artillery, there were less than a hundred people left.

There was a crackling sound, and hundreds of Goguryeo's artillery were blown up.

But there are still more than 2000 doors waiting, Li Xiaogong and Eleven miscalculated.

They never imagined that the other party was so difficult to deal with.

Of the five thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, none of them was greedy for life and afraid of death.

At the last moment of death, they will choose to pounce on the nearest enemy and detonate the gunpowder on their bodies.

That scene, is it not Datang's attitude towards Goguryeo!

Dare to fight, not afraid of death!
Li Xiaogong didn't even know that Yuan Nanchan was almost killed by them.

It is impossible to entrust the slave soldiers with the task of guarding the artillery, so it is naturally guarded by the soldiers of the palace.

This is also the real reason why Master Guo caused huge casualties with every step forward when he led people into the formation.

Because they are facing the elite army of Goguryeo.

Even so, Goguryeo paid the price of tens of thousands of deaths and thousands of injuries.

Yuan Nan was very unlucky, he was still staying in the camp, and planned to enter Liaocheng by himself after the artillery fire stopped.

But no one could have imagined that those Tang soldiers came to their sideways by some means and gave him a loud slap in the face.

"Bastard! Order all slave soldiers, break the city!"

A soldier of the Tang army blew himself up not far from Yuan Nanchan, and Yuan Nanchan, who couldn't dodge in time, suffered some minor injuries.

Thoroughly enraged by Tang Jun's crazy behavior, he ordered an all-out attack regardless of any consequences.

Li Xiaogong also reacted quickly, his idea is very simple, cannon to cannon, destroy your cannon first and then talk!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides turned into a decisive battle.

No one knows what will happen to them in the next moment.

"Give me a shot! There are no shells in the shot, and we still have weapons in our hands! Great Tang Tianwei, no offense is allowed lightly!"

The artillery was bombarded, because it occupied a high place, so Li Xiaogong's side was tens of meters away from the Goguryeo people.

And just at the position of tens of meters, they also let them take advantage of it first. After two rounds of fighting, they destroyed at least a hundred artillery pieces and thousands of Goguryeo soldiers.

It's a pity that when the Goguryeo artillery was erected, all the advantages were wasted.

The city gate is only open day and night, and the two sides are more terrifying than hand-to-hand combat. It has completely become a matter of seeing who will be bombarded to death first.

For a full six hours, the south gate of Liao City was completely reduced to flat ground, and there were less than 2000 of the [-] Tang troops left.

On the Goguryeo side, at least 8 to [-] people died.

The main reason why Goguryeo is higher than the Tang army is that the gunpowder reserves in Liaocheng are much higher than that of the opponent.

Facing the two sides who had completely torn their skins apart, as soon as the south gate was broken, Li Xiaogong ordered all the artillery in the city to be pulled to the south, and continued to confront each other.

Later, when the Goguryeo army reunited, they encountered a minefield prepared in advance on the [-]th, and many people lost their lives.
