Chapter 585 Cavalry Raid

The artillery on the top of the city roared wildly. Every bombardment caused riots in Goguryeo's army. The continuous bombardment also caused their command system to be damaged, and their drum sounds became messy.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the top of the city just tried their best to shoot arrows downwards. You didn't need to aim at it, and you didn't have time to aim at it. The arrows were consumed in large quantities, but it didn't matter. The large number of arrows stored in the capital of Goguryeo were enough for us to shoot for more than ten days.

But soon, a siege car had reached the city wall, and with the command, it began to move towards the door opening. As the command changed, a large number of siege wood and rolling stones were thrown down and smashed hard on the roof of the siege car. Not long after, the first siege car broke up, followed by the second and third...

The boiling oil poured down from the city, causing the Goguryeo soldiers below to let out inhuman screams and screams. This wave of attack lasted for about two quarters of an hour, but it still retreated.

Every time Bonahrjin shot an arrow, he would mutter in his mouth, saying that he should be calculating how many Goguryeo soldiers he shot. I was relieved. Although these two waves of attacks seemed to be safe and none of Goguryeo could climb up the city, it was enough to make me understand the tragic siege. If artillery had not destroyed most of the other party's siege equipment first, I was afraid that it would have been trapped in a fierce battle at this time. I turned around and immediately ordered the messengers to tell the artillery to save ammunition. If Uncle Li and the others failed to receive the message from us, and they did not notice the abnormal movements of Goguryeo Camp, it was very likely. We must fight the Goguryeo madness alone for at least two days.

Sure enough, the Goguryeo people who were frustrated again did not give up. Half an hour later, the third wave of attacks came again. With the sound of war drums, the Goguryeo people launched another attack, and the tactics were still the same. The archers tried to suppress the archers on the city wall under the cover of the shield. However, facing our condescending elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the small round shield and the temporary square shield were very limited in defense. Perhaps it should be said that the psychological comfort effect was greater, except for the shield and archers. What followed was that the infantry rushed to the city wall again with the ladder, trying to use the ladder to climb the city wall to fight with us.

----------------------------------------------------

Perhaps the Goguryeo people did not expect that the ground tower car they brought would be destroyed without any effect, and the temporary siege car was also destroyed. This is their last and most effective method.

There were no less than 30,000 Goguryeo people rushing up, and the number of archers increased greatly. The generals led the team shouted at the top of their lungs, directing and coordinating the soldiers' actions.

"Rise the bow and shoot!" With a sound of nerve-wracking, the locust-like arrows came straight to the wall. The power of thousands of bows and arrows was really great. Although they were shot upwards under the threat of our archers, their strength and accuracy were greatly reduced, but this still temporarily suppressed our attacks. After several rounds of volleys, hundreds of archers on the wall had fallen. Although most of them were only injured by arrows, the medical soldiers still responsibilities and quickly carried the dead and injured away from the city wall. They rushed to the houses under the city and handed them over to the military doctor for treatment. After the medical soldiers were quickly disinfected and bandaged by the hemorrhage, they gritted their teeth and picked up the blood-stained bows and arrows to continue shooting until they fell down again.

The arrow rain shot each other up and down so wildly. At this time, more than ten cloud ladders were already leaning against the city wall. The Goguryeo soldiers howled excitedly. Someone had already protected their heads and faces with one hand and held the ladder with the other hand to start working. Behind them, the Goguryeo archers seemed to have been inspired by their companions' behavior to hold them up to their courage. They roared and pulled their bows desperately to shoot. The arrows that soared into the air became more dense than before. They also understood very well that they had to use all their strength to completely suppress the Tang soldiers on the wall. Before climbing the city wall, the soldiers on the cloud ladder were extremely fragile. If they could not suppress the enemy on the wall, the soldiers on the cloud ladder would be the fat meat that could be slaughtered by people on the chopping board.

However, if they could climb to the city so easily, then we, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, would not be called elites, and would just dig a hole to bury themselves. Every three to four soldiers picked up long poles, pressed against the horizontal steps of the ladder, and strode together, gritted their teeth and pushed forward. The ladder was pushed away from the city wall, gradually stood up, and then slowly leaned back. The Goguryeo soldiers who were about to climb to the end of the ladder star widened their eyes in fear, threw away the shield and weapons in their hands, grabbed the ladder, and roared helplessly, falling backwards as the ladder fell backwards, and fell heavily on the ground or among the crowd.

In the eyes of ordinary people, in siege battles, the one who has the advantage should be the defense party who can be covered by tall and strong city walls, but veterans who have fought will tell you: in siege battles, the offensive party is the offensive party most of the time. The defender can defeat the enemy a hundred times, but as long as he fails, the whole city will be finished; and when the attacker attacks a hundred times, he will succeed as long as he succeeds.

At this moment, the Goguryeo people were betting whether they could become the one-percent lucky person. They still stubbornly raised the ladder and climbed up again. However, they had no chance because we would not give them such an opportunity. The shooting of the arrows from the side made the Goguryeo people who were climbing the ladder hopelessly let go of the hand holding the shield tightly, trying to pull out the arrows that pierced the waist and abdomen. Then, the arrows shot directly above penetrated their heads directly. He twitched gently, and rolled over the two companions under him heavily like a ball of dead objects, and smashed them hard on the ground together.

At this time, Su Dingfang had already patrolled from the other end of the city wall and met me at the city tower. General Su Mingmao carried a blood-stained horse spear and sucked a few mouthfuls of water before he gasped: "The elite are definitely the last elite in Goguryeo. Such a desperate spirit is almost catching up with the soldiers of our Tang Dynasty."

I took off my helmet and wiped the sweat from my face and smiled bitterly: "It seems that the old boy Quanga Suwen has made a lot of money, and has taken back the capital and has to get back the food and grass. They may still have the strength to fight with my Tang Dynasty. Quanga Suwen understands this truth, so he is afraid that he will leave all the old and weak soldiers in the camp. All he brings are the last strong soldiers of Goguryeo. Let's use the capital of Goguryeo as a millstone and slap them on. In the end, is it because our millstone can't bite these fine stones, or should we grind the old boy Quanga Suwen into bean juice."

"Hehe! Old Su loves to listen to these words, don't worry, even if he fights until the last soldier, Quangai Suwen can't take back the capital. I said, Brother Jun, when will our cavalry come?"

----------------------------------------------------

I looked up at the sky. It was already clear in the east. It was probably time to look at the hour. "Waiting for another quarter of an hour, after a quarter of an hour, let the cavalry gate come out of the north gate, attack directly, enter the south gate, and then let the reserve team come up, and also remove the soldiers who have been tired all night to rest. Brother Dingfang, how about leaving this matter to Pei Xingjian?"

"Okay, let Pei Lao Er do this. Brother, I will continue to patrol the other side and leave it to him, so that he can make a contribution, so as not to say that I, Old Su, suppress him and not let him show off everywhere. Hahaha..." Su Dingfang laughed and put on his helmet, lifted his horse spear and shouted loudly and walked forward, inspiring the morale of the soldiers.

This is the most common trick for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to defend the city, but it is very useful, because no one can guess when the Tang Dynasty cavalry would suddenly attack outside the city. At present, the battle is in full swing, and the vigilance of the Goguryeo army has been reduced to a minimum. At this time, the cavalry will raid, and greater results can be achieved.

I walked down the city tower, rode on my horse and rushed towards the city, and reached the open land in the city. At this time, Pei Xingjian was commanding the three thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to organize the belly belts of their horses, adjust their horse harnesses, wipe off the weapons in their hands, and prepare to go to war at any time.

"How are Brother Xingjian? How are you doing?" I jumped off my horse and asked Pei Xingjian who was walking towards me.

"We are ready and can set off at any time. We have rested peacefully for a night of peace and stability, and we can guarantee that we can give the Goguryeo people a big surprise." Pei Xingjian looked excited, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, the north gate suddenly opened, and the sudden plagiarism of the three thousand Tang Dynasty cavalry caused the Goguryeo's originally crazy offensive to be violently impacted. Under the leadership of Pei Xingjian, the three thousand iron cavalry directly followed the city wall and rushed forward with a cross section of more than 100 meters. Soon, the Tang Dynasty archers on the top of the city threw the target into the distance a hundred meters away, not only to prevent accidental injury of their own people, but also to better protect the three thousand Tang Dynasty cavalry.
