Ji Tang

Chapter 795 Blast the City!

Banners are flying, war drums are beating, thousands of troops are shouting, and the sound of killing is everywhere.

Outside the sand city, Su Lie stood on a high wooden platform, watching the Tang soldiers test the opponent's siege results for the first time. He said to the deputy general beside him: "The Goguryeo people are very popular. If you want to conquer this city, you have to have a hard time." Less time.”

"What the general said is true. The general manager asked us to break the city quickly, but now it seems that it is not easy. What should we do?"

The deputy general was also anxious. According to the generals of the general manager, they had to break the city in a short time, but who would have thought that the guard general would react quickly under the Tang Dynasty's surprise attack.

A surprise battle has now become an offensive and defensive battle. It would be fine on normal days, but now they don't have much time to waste here.

They must rush to Liaodong before His Majesty arrives at Liaodong City, otherwise they will miss the deadline, which is a serious crime!

"Since they are looking for death, Ben will help them."

Su Lie's face was calm. He turned around and said to a soldier beside him who had been silent since Chang'an: "Go down and prepare!"

"Ben's going to be in town before dark!"

The deputy general looked at his general in disbelief, and then at the soldier who had been following the general.If he hadn't really understood Su Lie, he would have thought that Su Lie was crazy!

"Yes!"

The soldier cupped his fists and saluted, then turned around and got off the high platform.

"General, are you here?"

The deputy general was really puzzled, where did this happen?

"Don't be impatient. You will understand before it gets dark. From now on, you will supervise the battle in person, and replace a group of people every hour to help the general contain the opponent's energy."

"promise!"

Although the deputy general was puzzled, under Su Lie's gaze, he reluctantly agreed.

Although the deputy general was puzzled, under Su Lie's gaze, he reluctantly agreed.

The deputy general left, and Su Lie was the only one left on the high platform. He picked up a bamboo tube-like matter and looked at the city.

"This thing is really good. Can you see it so clearly from such a long distance?"

"I heard that this is how the Marquis learned about the comet's arrival. Grandma, the Taoists took advantage of it."

That's right, what he is holding is a telescope. During this army expedition, as long as the generals along the way have this thing in their hands, everyone who has used it will be surprised!

This thing is a good thing whether it is for reconnaissance or understanding the enemy's situation.

Think about it, you can see the enemy in advance, but the enemy cannot see you. What is it like?The enemy is overt and we are hidden. This is the ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities. How can we not make the generals happy?

But this thing is only used by people above the general level. No one else can see it on weekdays. It will be recovered and sealed after returning to Chang'an. If it breaks, it's okay. At most, it will be punished.But if it is lost, it will be hard to tell, and you may be severely punished.

Carefully placing the telescope into the prepared brocade box, he took the box down from the high platform.

There was nothing left to see. If he had enough time, he had plenty of ways to break into this city, even if the losses would be greater.

But now time is everything, he can only choose to conquer Shacheng in a short time, and then quickly go north to Shicheng.

Although the Marquis has no hope for them to conquer Shicheng, who wants to get less credit?

Once you stay here for a long time, it will be hard to say anything about Shicheng.Now it's best to capture Shacheng in a short time and head north to Shicheng with all his strength. That's where Su Lie will become famous.

Time passed slowly, from the scorching sun to the west, and the sun was about to set.

"General Su, it's ready. Do you want to light the fire?"

The departed soldier reappeared in front of Su Lie, but compared with before, this man's body was covered with mud and exuded a strong smell of sweat that could be smelled even three miles into the wind.

Su Lie pushed away three steps with an expressionless face and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your hard work!" "I don't dare, we are all working for His Majesty!"

Su Lie nodded, knowing that he had nothing to say to this man.It's been like this all the way, he has long been used to it.

"Send the order, all soldiers on the front line return to camp to repair!"

"promise!"

The messengers left quickly. After Ming Jin withdrew his troops, the deputy general came to Su Lie and said, "General, it's almost dark now. What else can you do?"

Su Lie couldn't deny it. He could hear the deputy general's resentment, but he didn't care!

"The order!"

"The end is here!"

The commanders of all armies said in unison.

"The forward general immediately prepared his troops for battle and stopped within a stone's throw of the enemy."

"Respect!"

"The left and right wings are ready to support the front army at any time!"

"Respect!"

Su Lie rode on the horse and said loudly: "The city will be destroyed at this moment. Wait for the military order and enter the city immediately."

Before anyone could ask questions, he shouted loudly: "Blow up the city!"

At this time, everyone thinks Su Lie is crazy?Blow up the city?What to use to blow up the city?
But Su Lie ignored them. The soldier behind him had already given the order. Just when everyone was extremely confused, the Goguryeo guard on top of the city was also very confused.

"What are they going to do?"

The Goguryeo guard looked at the opponent's slowly advancing army and stopped when it was three hundred steps away.At this distance, both sides can't attack each other. What does Tang Jun want to do?
Everyone was puzzled, and some people laughed wantonly and said: "Maybe the opponent's general is a fool. After attacking the city for one day, the soldiers are already exhausted. Do they still want to wait until dark before attacking the city?"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed, but the guard remained solemn.

"Don't be careless!"

"When we arrived, the general gave us many warnings not to underestimate the enemy. The leader of this army is Ji Song, the great warrior who once powerfully conquered Mobei and captured the Turkic Khan Jieli alive!"

"This man is not only proficient in battle formations, but his martial arts skills are also said to be among the best. He is very famous in the Tang Dynasty. You must not be careless!"

"Go ahead and tell all the soldiers to hold on to the city wall to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking the city!"

More than ten breaths passed, and just when the deputy general and others were impatient, there was a buzzing sound, and a burst of smoke and dust was seen from the enemy city in front. From time to time, broken limbs and broken arms could be seen being lifted into the air.

Although they were far away, everyone was temporarily deafened. However, no one cared about this now, but looked at the city ahead in disbelief.

A thirty-foot-long city wall collapsed in the roar. The city wall that left them helpless now opened its arms to them!
"woo"

The sound of the horn rang in their ears, and everyone who heard it couldn't help but look at Su Lie.

"Enter the city!"

"No chickens or dogs will be spared from any enemy troops. This time, no prisoners will be taken!"

It got dark quickly, but among the thousands of torches, it didn't seem dark.

Su Lie rode his war horse to the gap that was destroyed by the bombing. Even though he was prepared, he was still inexplicably shocked.Is this the power of artifacts?
He really couldn't believe that those seemingly powdery things could actually exert such power?
In such an explosion, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, they will not be of any use.
