Chapter 521 The city is destroyed, the country is destroyed
"General, those who came out just now seemed to be elite soldiers from the Goguryeo. The armor they wore was different."
A sharp-eyed general saw the Goguryeo soldiers showing their heads on the city wall and immediately reported to Xue Li.
"I saw it too. By the way, I'll send an order to stop the attack first. It's not too late to attack when I see a Goguryeo people appearing on the city."
Xue Li knew that the wave just now must have scared the Goguryeo people, and their elite soldiers had to finish playing. The power of gunpowder bullets was captured, so those Goguryeo people would definitely not dare to stay on the city tower, so they would not have to waste rockets.
Each of the archers below the city tower had more than twenty rockets, and now they had shot most of them, so they could not waste them any more.
The archers stopped attacking and began to rest under the city tower. However, the heavy shield soldiers who had been holding large shields could not rest. They had to be responsible for the safety of the archers, so they must be on guard all the time to prevent the Goguryeo people on the city from suddenly coming to them.
Seeing this, Xue Li immediately sent some people up and began to dig a trench in front of the archer's stay.
If a trench could be dug, the heavy shield soldiers would be spared, which would save them from being so laborious and unsafe.
Dig a trench for the archers, and they can stay in the trench while resting. It is very safe. Even if they want to attack on the city tower, they will not be able to do anything to them.
Moreover, this will also free those heavy shield soldiers so that they will not have to be so tired.
The Tang soldiers began to act, and their movements went smoothly. No matter how they were outside the city, Goguryeo soldiers never appeared on the top of the city.
Because the Goguryeo people were doing similar things in the city with the Tang soldiers. Unlike the Tang army's practice of digging trenches, the Goguryeo people worked overtime behind the city wall to rebuild a new city wall.
Although it is impossible to be as tall and wide as the outside wall, at least a miniature city wall must be used as an inner wall. Even if the Tang army breaks through the outer wall, they will not be fucked immediately.
Besides, they can't get on the outer wall now. As long as someone goes up, the Tang army archers outside will immediately shoot rockets and blow the Goguryeo people up into shattered roasted suckling pigs.
Well, the broken roasted suckling pig was described by the Goguryeo themselves, because those charred pieces do look very much like roasted suckling pigs.
Now the Goguryeo people are extremely afraid of the Tang army's rockets. From the beginning to now, the Tang army has fired twenty rounds of rockets. In other words, the outer wall of the Goguryeo capital was bombed twenty times, and the entire outer wall was blown down by two or three meters.
If this trend continues, after dozens of rounds of bombing, the entire exterior wall will sooner or later collapse.
Therefore, the Goguryeo people decisively gave up the exterior wall and instead used the exterior wall to attract the Tang army's rockets, constantly consuming the number of Tang army's rockets.
They worked overtime and quickly built an inner wall in the outer city.
In order to build the inner wall before the Tang army attacked, the Goguryeo even ordered all male men over thirteen years old in the city to participate in the construction of the inner wall.
As soon as the emperor of Goguryeo came, the men in the entire Goguryeo capital began to take action and built the inner wall day and night.
The actions of the Goguryeo people cannot be hidden from the Tang army's purpose.

The next day, Xue Li knew that the Goguryeo people built an inner wall inside the exterior wall, and the exterior wall was just a place they used to consume the Tang army rockets.
After receiving the news, Xue Li made a quick decision and immediately ordered the archers to stop attacking the capital of Goguryeo.
Although they had a great time yesterday's attack, they beat the Goguryeo people so much that they cried and called their parents to doubt their lives, they also paid a lot of gunpowder and arrows for it.
Eighty thousand rockets shot out 60,000 on the first day, which was a total of 60,000 gunpowder bullets. This is not a small number, which is half of the gunpowder bullets that the Tang army can use now.
Although the Tang army is now stepping up the production of gunpowder bullets and arrows, Xue Li doesn't want to waste it.
Good steel needs to be used on the blade, so I will finish these rockets now, and they will definitely lose their chains at the critical moment.
Must save money.
However, although they were spared, it did not mean that they were just ignoring the inner wall built by the Goguryeo people in the city.
The next day, Xue Li directly led a team of archers, first bombarded the exterior wall, and then made sure that there were no traces of Goguryeo people on the exterior wall.
After confirming the safety of the exterior wall, Xue Li immediately rushed to the exterior wall of the Goguryeo capital with his own guard and a team of archers.
Standing on the ruins of the exterior wall, they could clearly see the inner wall being built in the capital of Goguryeo.
"Sure enough, Humph, don't be polite, shoot the rockets into the inner wall for me."
The Goguryeo people didn't expect the Tang army to rush directly to the exterior wall, and even if they thought about it, it was useless. The rockets that Xue Li and the others fired before rushing up were enough to turn all the Goguryeo soldiers on the exterior wall into broken roasted suckling pigs.
At this time, the Goguryeo people who were building the inner wall were looking up at the Tang soldiers on the outer wall with panic.
Except for a small number of Goguryeo soldiers responsible for defense and supervision, most of them did not wear armor for convenience. At this time, not to mention that the Tang soldiers were shooting rockets, even ordinary arrows could cause them to suffer heavy casualties.
After receiving Xue Li's order, the Tang soldiers immediately pulled the bow and shot towards the inner wall built by the Goguryeo people.
This wave was not only to shoot and kill the Goguryeo people, but also to destroy the inner wall that the Goguryeo people had just built.
Thousands of rockets that helped gunpowder bullets shot towards the two-meter-high interior wall that had just been built for a day and a night, while the Goguryeo soldiers and young and middle-aged people had not had time to run.
Now, what greets them is the arrows of the Tang army, and what awaits them is the summoning of the God of Death.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Countless explosions sounded, and the inner wall, which had just been built more than two meters high, was immediately blown up to pieces, and almost none of the Goguryeo people near the inner wall were spared.
The explosion of gunpowder bullets can take away some of the lives of Goguryeo people, and can also blow up the newly built inner walls to pieces, and the stones that were blown away also become tools for killing.
Countless Goguryeo military and civilians died in despair.
But, it's not over yet!
