Chapter 588: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts
"Why do you have to pretend to behave? Everyone knows that you, Li Shimin, are cruel and vicious." Quan Gai Suwen, who was standing on the city tower, said in a rake.
When Comrade Li Er heard Quan Gai Suwen mocking him, he was calm and said with a smile: "You Quan Gai Suwen are not much better than me, but it doesn't matter. I don't want to fight with you for a while. What's the point of seeing the truth on the battlefield."
"Hmph, I speak wildly. I, Goguryeo soldiers, are twice as good as you. You still attack the city. I want to see how you get to my city." After that, Quan Gasuwen walked down the city tower.
When Li Er saw that Quan Gai Suwen had flashed, he pulled out his sword and shouted: "Kill!"
With a command, the soldiers behind him raised their shields and slowly approached the city tower. When they entered the range of the Goguryeo soldiers on the city tower, the archers on the city tower poured out all the arrows in their hands.
Just by approaching the city tower, a group of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty fell.
It was the first time Zhang Nan, who was riding on the horse behind, saw such a fist-to-heart siege battle. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty seemed to have no idea what death was. The people around him fell down, with no expression on their faces, and they were still advancing down the city tower.
Seeing the fallen soldiers, Zhang Nan felt very uncomfortable. They were all men who had been eating for more than 20 years and fell on the way to charge. In Zhang Nan's opinion, this way of death was of no value at all.
But Li Er, who was beside Zhang Nan, had a normal expression and looked common.
"Your Majesty, it's probably not possible to attack the city like this." Zhang Nan really couldn't bear this kind of siege method. This was not a siege. It was clearly a siege by the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
"What's wrong? Isn't it like this in siege?" Li Er said without even twisting his head.
"Look at me, Qingquan feels sorry for our soldiers." Cheng Yaojin also sat down and said.
"I feel sorry for you? But this is a war. Where can I not kill anyone in war? This is how my country of Tang Dynasty was defeated." Li Er sighed and said.
Who can be ruthless if a person is not a plant or a tree? Although Li Er is a general who has experienced many battles, there are all corpses and blood behind him. Li Er does not understand the truth that a general succeeds and has thousands of bones bleed. It is just that the war with cold weapons is like this.
Zhang Nan looked at it for a while, but couldn't help it anymore.
"Your Majesty, let's stop the troops. Let's send hot air balloons to blow up first. Our Tang Dynasty soldiers should not lose their lives like this." Zhang Nan advised.
"Aren't we creating equipment like hot air balloons, thunder and kamikaze crossbows just to make our soldiers die a little less? If we don't use these weapons, what's the point of making them?"
After hearing Zhang Nan's words, Li Er finally turned his head.
"What do you mean is to let me send hot air balloons up now? That's not only Goguryeo soldiers, but also Silla people are inside. If I rashly shoot hot air balloons up, I will definitely be injured by accident." Li Erdao.
"But we can't fly into the city. Let's blow up the city wall first, and wait until the defenders on the city wall are almost done, and then let our people go." Zhang Nan said helplessly.
In fact, Zhang Nan really wanted to do a full-scale tactical bombing without blind spots, but Zhang Nan couldn't do it, and Zhang Nan was not a murderer. Although it was not intentional, if you kill by chance, Zhang Nan still couldn't overcome this hurdle in his heart.
Although they were people of Silla, they had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.
After thinking for a while, Li Er finally agreed to Zhang Nan's request, and then sent an order to go down to withdraw the troops.
The soldiers who had just advanced to the city tower heard the sound of drums and retreated again. Of course, a large number of soldiers' lives were still left on the road.
After the soldiers retreated, the hot air balloons that followed the battle all took off and took off without falling. The hot air balloons that originally loaded four to five people were now riding only one person, and the rest were filled with thunder.
The hot air balloon flew towards the city, and the soldiers guarding the city naturally saw it clearly. Zhang Nan could even hear them shouting on the city tower. But Zhang Nan didn't know what they meant.
In short, the hot air balloon attracted the firepower of all archers. All arrows flew towards the sky, but few could hit the hot air balloon. Even if they were shot, they could not even shoot the hot air balloon's airbag.
The city was much stronger than Zhang Nan thought. Although the city wall was not as thick as Chang'an City, the earth-made sky-blasting thunder was blown up for five minutes before it exploded a small hole in the weak part of the city wall.
When Li Er saw that the city was broken, he immediately sent an order to get the soldiers on the hot air balloon back. Then Li Er issued another order to charge. However, this time, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not encounter too many obstacles on the way to charge, but instead reached the explosion gap.
At this time, all the Goguryeo soldiers on the top of the city tower ran down the city tower and started a hand-to-hand battle with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Nan just watched from a distance as groups of Tang soldiers rushed in from the gap, but none of them retreated. After waiting for a while, the gate of the city was finally opened.
When Cheng Yaojin saw that the city gate was opened, he seemed to have received some special recruitment. He laughed and said, "Emperor, the city gate is opened. The old minister went in first to open the way for the emperor."
After saying that, Cheng Yaojin activated the war horse under his crotch and went to the city with the weapon in his hand.
Zhang Nan and Li Er also rode their horses into the city under the protection of a team of personal guards.
The closer he got to the city, the more disgusting Zhang Nan felt. After entering the city, Zhang Nan even tried to resist the feeling of vomiting and was riding on a horse.
There are corpses everywhere, and there is no need to say that the remaining limbs can be seen in almost two steps. This is the cruelty of cold weapons. Whether it is Goguryeo or the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, there is no way to die a stable way.
Li Er had just entered the city not long after, and felt something was wrong.
"Qingquan, do you think it's too easy for us to come in?" Li Er frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhang Nan also suppressed his disgust and said, "It's a bit. They are twice as much of their Goguryeo soldiers, but we didn't encounter much resistance when we entered the city. Although we had thunder, we were just for breaking the city. Why did Quan Gai Suwen run into the inner city now?"
Li Er did not speak, but instead started to think. Not long after, Li Er shouted: "No, go quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Nan heard the sound of the shocking sound outside the city gate that had just passed.
Then I saw a large number of Goguryeo soldiers rushing in through the gap in the city gate.
