The attack began, and the battle was very tragic at the beginning.

The Goguryeo people were chased by the Tang army these days, but they found that the Tang army chasing them was a paper tiger, and their strength was far weaker than that of them. They felt anger after being deceived.

They shouted and rushed towards the village with swords and guns, and round after round of arrows came, and some of them dragged wood directly into the city wall with horses.

"Shoot the arrow!"

On the wall of Zhuangzi, the officers of the Tang army were also roaring.

"Fuck them to death!"

The Tang soldiers were even more angry, especially after just witnessing the tragic deaths of the people, everyone's chests were burning with anger.

Bring a bow and arrow, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.

At this time, you don’t need to aim. You use long-studded arrows. These arrows are heavier and have a longer range. You can shoot directly diagonally towards the sky. For the dense Goguryeo people below, the killing effect is better.

Both sides held their breath.

The beginning was when bows and arrows shot at each other.

Li Chao stood on a stone tower behind the village wall, where he could see the battlefield from a high place.

"There are more Goguryeo people in dog days than we do!"

Zheng Rentai cursed in a low voice.

This is true. Goguryeo cavalry is a light cavalry and basically has bows. Although the cavalry is worse than the starting bow, it cannot withstand the number.

On the contrary, Tang army.

The only ones who were equipped with the bow were Shenji Camp and Youzhou Prefecture soldiers. Their number was less than 10,000, and only 8,000. Although the eight thousand people were equipped with bows and were also used to bows, they obviously did not have enough firepower.

Fortunately, there is still a wall blocking it.

But even so, the Tang army was suppressed so much. In the rain of arrows, the Tang army was injured from time to time.

The Goguryeo people took advantage of this long-range firepower to suppress the Tang army and rushed to the wall of the village.

Many people drag wood and carry ladders.

Li Chao had no expression on his face.

From the beginning of this battle, he knew it would be a hard game.

He has too many new recruits, and many volunteer soldiers are not even considered new recruits. If he had 30,000 soldiers in the palace, Li Chao would be afraid of a bird.

Whoever is afraid of the shooting of bows and arrows? The Goguryeo cavalry has many bows, but the infantry bows of the Tang army's infantry are even more powerful. Although not everyone's palace soldiers are sharpshooters, everyone has a bow. The most standard tactic of the Tang army is to come up and shoot arrows first.

The upward shooting cover attack is quite powerful.

Unfortunately, Li Chao has only 8,000 people now.

Eight thousand to forty thousand, the difference is still a bit big.

The volunteer soldiers and the young and middle-aged men in the village could only stare at him.

"How many stone carts are ready?"

Li Chao asked.

Cats can be complex and simple, and it is still possible to use simple local materials and make them use.

No matter what, it can increase the attack power.

“Some of them have just been loaded.”

"Push it over and smash it!"

The archers' confrontation was extremely tragic. On the walls and on the arrow tower, no officers and soldiers were caught in arrows at all times, and countless people were killed in battle.

Such casualties were even something that Li Chao had never encountered before since he led his troops. To be honest, Li Chao had never fought such a head-on battle. His troops were small, his equipment was poor, and he had a lot of new recruits, and he could not even borrow a good location.

Li Chao was furious.

I even regretted that I might not be in a hurry to do this. If I just drove Yuan Gai Suwen out of Hebei, he would not have to take any risk.

Village.

Niu saw Hu holding a cowhide round shield in his hands and his own bird gun in the other hand.

"Follow me on the wall!"

Behind, a group of volunteer soldiers followed.

They were also equipped with similar equipment, holding various pot lids and wooden boards found in the village in their left hand, and then holding their own musket in their right hand.

They held their shields on the wall.

The enemy is approaching, and it is impossible to rely on archers alone.

Arrows danced in the air like locusts.

But you cannot retreat at this time, you cannot wait.

The shield in their hands was very simple. They didn't even have a helmet or leather armor, but they still had to rush forward at this time.

Going to the wall.

Niu saw the tiger and threw the shield in his hand directly.

Stand next to the archer.

He picked up the bird gun, and the bird gun had been loaded in the village, so he picked it up and aimed it directly.

The volunteer soldiers behind also stood in good positions.

Stand directly into three rows.

A musketeer had just stood up and a feather arrow flew to him and shot him directly in the chest. The young man groaned and fell down. The companion next to him glanced at him and found that he was no longer helpful.

Griefly, fill in the empty position, holding a gun.

Three rows of musketeers stood up.

Niu Jianhu stood in the first row.

He gritted his teeth with his beloved bird gun. In fact, for generals like them who have been shooting since childhood, bows and arrows are actually better used, shooting farther and more powerful. But Niu Jianhu has a unique love for bird guns.

But now, it is no longer important to bows or muskets, because the Goguryeo people have already rushed under the wall.

Aiming at a strong Liao soldier carrying a tree trunk, the cow roared.

"Minderman, shoot!"

He shot first, and with a bang, he was condescending. At close range, the strong man carrying the wood splattered a ball of blood on the chest.

The strong man fell down. Eight people carried the wood, but suddenly one person was missing, which was a little unstable for a while.

At this time, the musketeer in the first row had already pulled the trigger.

Bang bang sounds one after another, and bursts of smoke rose.

After putting a row of guns, the musketeers in the first row did not look at their effects at all. Then they retreated from both sides and went around to the back of the third row. The second row that had been loaded took a step forward, and then fired.

Retreat and then the third row.

So constantly.

"The effect is good, but unfortunately there are fewer muskets."

This group of musketeers is not the kind of pear blossom gun, but the kind of musketeer. Although the production is not as troublesome as the bird gun and is not as powerful as the bird gun, Li Chao now has only one hundred musketeers under him.

The Great Wall-style raid musket is used. This kind of gun is far inferior to a bird gun. It has no bolt and needs to be manually ignited. The barrel is very short and the range is short.

However, even if the accuracy is poor, it is still very powerful even if it is standing on the top of the city.

"It's a pity that there are only one hundred. If there were ten thousand musketeers at this time, Liaogou would know that they are powerful today."

After a sudden musketeers went up less than a quarter of an hour, twenty or thirty people had been injured or killed, equivalent to nearly one-third of the losses. The casualties made Li Chao feel very distressed.

"Let the musketeers retreat."

It is difficult to build such a raiding team, and one-third of the casualties were killed and killed in an instant.

"Let the musketeers come on."

Ordinary musketeers only have a long spear with a gunpowder with a gunpowder cartridge. There are no bullets in the gunpowder cartridge, but they just spray fireworks. It's okay to face it, but they can't even hurt the enemies under the city.

Fortunately, they also have grenades.

At this time, Li Chao could only use them as grenades.

The musketeers came to the city, and the Goguryeo people were already hitting the wall and setting up ladders, and the situation was critical.

"Top the grenade!"

With a burst of shouting, the musketeers took out grenades, and some even tied them together, ignited them and threw them down.

The rumbling sounds came one after another, and the grenade itself was not very powerful, but at this time the enemy was densely populated by the city and the grenades were fired together, but they also made great contributions.

The Goguryeo people were blown up by the bomb, and the dense enemies under the wall were cleared out of an open space.

However, today the Goguryeo people were determined and had no intention of retreating.
