Chapter [-]: Gaimu City, the first battle is won

(Second update! Ask for full order!)

"It's the city of Gaimu right in front of you."

Li Daozong waved off his horse, whipped

中军

Not long after leaving Chang'an, Li Daozong led [-] light cavalry to attack Goguryeo in the starry night. When he arrived at the front line, Zhang Jian had already crossed the Liaoshui and captured Xincheng.

After the two discussed, they rested for several hours, and then they directly led the army to attack Gaimu City, clearing the obstacles for the Chinese army to break through Liaodong City.

There are many mountains in the area of ​​Goguryeo, and Gaimu City is one of the key fortresses. Once Gaimu City and Anshi City are captured, Beisha City will become an isolated enemy. Cheng Yaojinbu navy can easily land in Beisha City.

When the army arrived twenty miles outside the city of Gaimu, it was already evening. Li Daozong was riding a group of black steeds, holding a telescope and looking at it from a high place, his brows wrinkled directly.

"This is the so-called fortress of Goguryeo, and the city wall is only two feet high."

All the way from Chang'an City, I spent almost a week without sleep, but the first battle I won was actually against a small soil city, which made Li Daozong suddenly disappointed.

He is also a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, with countless military exploits, but what he thought was a tough battle turned into a soft persimmon, which was a bit disappointing.

"General manager, the biggest difficulty in conquering Goguryeo is to break the terrain and break the road. All the fortresses are straight concrete roads. In one month, the last commander will be able to hit Pyongyang City!"

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly and said: "This cement road is really a good thing. After you get used to it, you can't bear to look directly at this broken road of Goguryeo!"

"From now on, this will be my Datang's site, and the cement road will naturally be built here. Zhang Jian, you should also perform well. Maybe you will be the first director of An Dongdao."

Li Daozong retracted the telescope and said, "Go ahead and rest for a night, and attack the city at sunrise tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Jian was overjoyed immediately.

He has served as the governor of Yingzhou and the captain of Dongyi for many years. He is very familiar with the situation of Goguryeo. If he can conquer the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo and change it to An Dong Dao, Zhang Jian is indeed the best candidate for the director of An Dong Dao.

And since Qin Huaidao's sea power book was published, Zhang Jian also read it carefully, and understood that An Dongdao must be an important station for the Tang Navy in the future, the key to attacking the Japanese island and the rest of the area, and there are absolutely many opportunities to gain military exploits. ,

Otherwise, how could Li Er appoint Qin Huaidao as the Marshal of Pingliao, not because of the future layout? As for whether they can defeat Goguryeo, these veterans who have been killed all the way from the end of the Sui Dynasty really didn't take Goguryeo seriously.

On the second day, the sky was dawning. The fifty thousand Tang army officers and men had already had a full meal and were in high spirits.

[-] cavalry archers guarded the two wings, the infantry battalion was in the middle, the swordsmen and crossbowmen in the front, and catapults and giant crossbows in the rear.

Thanks to the large-scale use of rubber wheels, the disassembly, assembly and movement of these originally inconvenient large-scale construction machinery are much more convenient. There are more than [-] catapults alone.

"This broken place, don't have to let the soldiers bombard it with catapults."

Li Daozong waved off his horse, whipped

"Follow the Commander's orders!"

Zhang Jian also sneered and arranged for the sergeant to pass the order down.

Hundreds of catapults and giant crossbows were pushed to the front. The professionally trained veterans used the thumb ranging method to measure the distance, and began to adjust the horns of the catapult and the giant crossbow:

"First round of test shots, start!"

Following the officer's order, hundreds of round stone bullets and crossbow arrows swept across the air in an arc, and then smashed heavily in front of Gaimu City dozens of paces, sending up a cloud of smoke and dust.

"The Tang people are ridiculous. They don't even know that the range is not enough. Send the order, cavalry equipment, and when the Tang people push the sling, follow me out of the city to destroy those siege weapons!"

There are [-] defenders in the city of Gaimu, and there is a cavalry of [-] people. Although they are all horses, they are already the biggest support for the generals of the defenders.

Looking at the tall war horses of the Tang army, the saliva of the defending generals was almost left.

He is a close confidant of Quan Gai Suwen, and he is convinced that the Tang people think that it is not useful, and he is full of confidence in the victory of Goguryeo.

As for Gao Jianwu and his party, the domestic city is already in jeopardy under the personal command of Quan Gai Suwen, and it is precarious.

However, it didn't take long for the defending generals to be complacent, the experienced Tang Army veterans have re-adjusted according to the error of the first round of test firing, and then launched the offensive again.

Even the arrows of the giant crossbow are covered with numbness soaked in kerosene.

"put!"

This time, the overwhelming stone bullets and crossbow arrows directly enveloped the entire city of Gaimu City, and the earthen walls made of adobe bricks mixed with rice and soup were suddenly hit with potholes. The target was directly smashed into ruins by countless boulders

0 Huge round stones, ramming on the city head, as long as they are knocked and touched, at least they will be seriously injured

And the crossbow arrow with a length of [-] feet and a thick arm can penetrate a row of people directly and continuously like a string of candied haws, and can also pierce into the earth wall with embers.

Among the stone bullets, there were also shotguns that were wrapped in net pockets and wrapped with a pile of small stones. These shotguns swept across the entire city directly. The egg-sized rocks still had enough lethality to personnel. There was a wailing sound above the head

The Goguryeo defenders, who had been triumphant and were preparing to watch the Tang army's good show, fell into a pool of blood one by one. Hundreds of dead and countless wounded were killed.

"Change the oil bomb!"

After seeing the effect of the attack above the city head with the binoculars, the commanding school directly ordered a fire attack.

The kerosene bombs of the catapult are jars made of earthenware, which are filled with sealed kerosene. Once they are stuck on the top of the city and the jar is broken, the specially made kerosene will splash out.
