Chapter 584 Siege

No wonder in history, Uncle Li won the tiger general Xue Rengui, but he did not let him go, but instead asked him to guard the Xuanwu Gate. Once he guarded, he had been guarding the Xuanwu Gate for twelve and a half years. It seems that Uncle Li was also honing his temperament. As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved. In the end, Li Zhi's little brat used him. He already knew how to restrain his temper, and he became more persevering in his reputation as General Xue!

Next to him, Su Dingfang made a blushing appearance. He cleared his throat, brought a glass of water to Xue Rengui, and then looked earnest: "Brother Rengui, you have the courage to be unstoppable. No one can deny this. If you are away, you will not accept military orders. Everyone understands that the general has always stopped fighting at the moment. There is nothing wrong with what you did..."

When Xue Rengui drank the water, Su Dingfang's words changed: "But it depends on when. Now I have a strong city in my hands and guard it in order to reduce the casualties of our soldiers, but you abandon it and fight against the enemy with the flesh and blood of hundreds of soldiers. This is your fault. I love you for your own good. Otherwise, if you are to Lao Su's temper, you will throw dozens of military sticks there on the spot."

Xue Rengui was silent for a long time, and Fang Zi turned around and knelt directly opposite me, and gave a deep bow: "The students remember the heartfelt words of Master, and they will never thank you for your kindness. Please see Rengui's future performance!"

"As soon as you get up, you can correct your mistakes, and you will be a real man. Brother Rengui, although you and I are called masters and disciples, they are actually brothers. I only hope that you can go further and expand your great achievements for me, Tang Dynasty! However, because of your mistakes, the students of my college died in vain. Since this crime is in the army, I can only deal with the military law." I sincerely replied to Xue Rengui and said.

Xue Rengui was also in a heavy mood because of his good deeds in his subordinates: "Students are willing to be dealt with by military law."

"Brother Jun, you..." Su Dingfang was a little puzzled when he heard what I said. He was afraid that he thought I was just calling me to scold Xue Rengui for not losing face.

I turned around and looked at Su Dingfang and smiled: "More than thirty students have lost their lives because of their temporary negligence. Can I destroy my Tang military law for personal friendship? What if someone does this in the future? I asked Brother Rengui here to persuade him for personal friendship. But the military law cannot be abolished, and since things have happened, we must have the courage to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

In order to relieve the party's kindness, Your Majesty even criedly begged the ministers to let the guilty and meritorious officials live in their tears. When he "exercises his kindness outside the law, he did not forget his destruction of the system at all, but he asked himself and resolutely apologized for punishment from heaven. Your Majesty is like this. As a minister, if he is so favorable, how can we be worthy of the dead soldiers, and the national and legal disciplines we maintain."

Su Dingfang looked at me deeply and bowed to me: "I have a speech today. Su knows the ambition of my brother!"

"Okay, okay, don't bury me, my famous general brother Tai. Rengui. After this battle, how about you punish me?" I turned to Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui bowed his head with conviction and said, "I'll listen to the general's orders."

At this time, Pei Xingjian, who looked excited, had already walked into the house. "What are you doing?" Pei Xingjian didn't know what happened just now, but just asked us in confusion.

Su Dingfang turned around and smiled: "It's okay, it's just a chat. But how did you go and examine that guy? What did you find out?"

"The trial was released. His name was Gao Jingwen. He was a general. He was ordered by Quan Gai Suwen to lead 10,000 troops to seize the Water Gate. He said that Quan Gai Suwen personally commanded 50,000 elite soldiers, which was only more than ten miles away from them." Pei Xingjian quickly told the news about the inquiry.

"Then ask him if there is any movement on the Tang army on the other side?" I asked immediately. Pei Xingjian nodded, and then shook his head: "He said that the Tang army camp opposite was still the same as before. However, something happened in their own camp, and the morale of many soldiers had been dispersed. If Quangai Suwen had not forced the suppression, the new king Gaozang would comfort him, threatening that a small number of Tang army had just smuggled into the Sashui East and attacked the city to lead the army back to aid. Therefore, Quangai Suwen personally led the elite troops in the army to regain the capital in one fell swoop. Otherwise, in a few days, the 200,000 troops would have to open their mouths to the northwest."

"Open your mouth to the northwest? Hahaha, Xingjian is a good description." Su Dingfang grinned with joy. Xue Rengui and I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Okay! Since they are all here, let's fight him well. Xue Rengui, you lead a thousand archers to the city and tell Xi Junmai that you and the two of you will go to help the navy guard the waterway. Although they were arrested, their strength was still there. Ten thousand people came to attack the waterway. They could think of it." I sneered. There are so many people. Ten tower ships are not vegetarians. There are countless crossbows on them. In addition, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui's two thousand archers rushed over, so it is enough to defend the waterway.

As for the enemy head-on, we are not afraid. Not to mention the 40,000 elite troops, even if we have twice as many, we still cannot defeat the city we defend.

Half an hour later, the sound of killing sounds shook the sky at the waterway in the south of the city. Countless rockets were flying all over the sky and the fireflies on the summer night. I stood on the city gate tower and looked at the fires that soared into the sky and the earth. In the telescope, I could see that the crossbows of the Tang Dynasty naval army in the tower were like wholesale. Batches of rockets were sank into the darkness. However, due to the terrain, I could only see the towering tower ships. As for the river bank and the river surface, I could not see them at all. However, I felt at ease when I saw this scene. If I could not resist, there were three thousand elite soldiers in the city who could support them at any time.

Most of us, who do not need to be on duty and night patrols, were leaning at the foot of the city wall and resting quickly, and after hearing the movements over there, they couldn't help but stand up and watch.

The shaking shouts of killing lasted for half an hour. At this time, a soldier who was patrolling the city wall suddenly screamed: "Enemma! I have discovered the enemy!"

I was shocked and rushed forward and took a few steps. I couldn't help but take a breath. ***, that guy was really not lying. Just under the moonlight, on the open ground outside the west gate of Goguryeo Capital, countless dense heads almost filled the open ground. With the help of the moonlight in the sky, I could even see the other party's towering towering carts and other siege equipment. It seems that Quan Gai Suwen has really invested a lot.

"Damn it, there are probably no less than 70,000 to 80,000 people here. It seems that they are probably moving all the weapons that were placed on the river bank against His Majesty's army here." Su Dingfang spat fiercely with a blue face.

"Tell all artillery soldiers that their targets are those chariots. I must knock out dozens of chariots. Go quickly!" I am not a fool. If I don't take advantage of the moment, we will be sad. However, the artillery is pressed in the safest corner and covers the ceiling, which greatly protects the personal safety of the artillery soldiers. They are the artillery seedlings that I have finally cultivated, and they must not be sacrificed easily.

The soldiers had already taken their place and stood behind the female wall on the city. More than 10,000 soldiers all bent their bows and arrows, waiting for orders. At this time, I held up a telescope and silently measured the distance between the two sides. Finally, I opened my mouth: "The cannon fire!"

The commander on the side waved the torch in his hand to give instructions, Boom! Boom! Boom! The slow and dull sound of cannons rang through the field. Balls of fire seemed so dazzling at night. With the whistling sound, the shells descended on the heads of the Goguryeo people, cracking, exploding, and tearing all the objects around it.

At this time, a loud drum sounded from the Goguryeo army. The originally scattered team seemed to stumble slightly. Then, the soldiers carried the ladders, pushed the tower carts, siege cars and other siege equipment, howled and attacked forward like madmen. In the first few rows were soldiers holding shields.

Accompanied by the sound of snare drums, countless archers on the city wall leaned over to put their bows, and as they shot their fingers, a rain of arrows like locusts covered the swarming enemies, and countless blood flowers emerged. The soldiers shouting and charging were caught in the arrows and screamed and fell to the ground while running, and countless companions continued to mechanically repeat the actions of their dead companions...

Under the nearly five rounds of arrow rain and artillery, almost none of Goguryeo's building cars survived, and all turned into ruins. The soldiers threw down the ladder and ran back in a mess.
