As those wooden boxes were pushed out of the military formation.
The trebuchets and arrow arrays finally stopped bombarding the city wall.
It was only then that the Goguryeo soldiers on top of the city were finally able to show their heads to check the situation.
I saw those Bingzhou soldiers rushing towards the city wall like a tide.
Seeing such a scene, some people finally reacted and started to raise their crossbows to fight back.
But what's the use of fighting back now?
Just after Datang's long-range attack, the Goguryeo soldiers on the city were basically dead.
They are just some of the lucky ones who survived.
Of course, the Goguryeo soldiers under the city who were waiting for support at any time also responded quickly.
After the opponent's long-range attack was over, they all emerged from under the city wall, climbed onto the city wall, and began to raise their bows and arrows to launch a volley of fire at the Tang soldiers attacking the city below.
Facing Goguryeo's arrow strikes.
On the Bingzhou Army side, people continued to be hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but this could not stop their progress.
Even after the opponent launched a counterattack, the soldiers in the wooden boxes ran faster.
Not long after, those people pushed the wooden box and ran to the foot of Liaodong City.
At this time, those people methodically pulled out wooden boards from the wooden box to use as shields to resist the rain of arrows shot from above.
Several people ran to the bunker built by their brothers and quickly turned the switch on the wooden box with their hands.
It was only then that everyone saw what it was.
It turned out to be a ladder made of wooden planks connected together.
Of course, rather than saying it is a cloud ladder, this thing is a cloud bridge.
The wooden planks rose up as the soldiers shook them, gradually reaching the same height as the enemy's city wall.
The slope of the Cloud Bridge is enough for people to run on it.
This thing will definitely allow the soldiers under the city to rush to the top of the city as fast as possible and avoid casualties as much as possible. Seeing that the ladder truck had been set up, Li Chengqian raised his spear and shouted: "Charge."
The last thing a lieutenant in the army wants to hear is "charge me", and the sentence most willing to hear is "just follow me".
It is said that generals have the heart to die, and scholars have no desire to live.
Li Chengqian has always been at the forefront of the military formation, how can his soldiers not sacrifice their lives for him?
Two thousand five hundred Mo Dao soldiers and cavalry followed Li Chengqian through his own crowd.
The arrows on the top of the city would only make a jingling sound when they hit the Mo Dao soldiers who were almost armed to the teeth.
They almost rushed under the city wall against the arrows pouring down from the city top.
Then, one after another, they stepped on the cloud bridge and sprinted towards the city wall with heavy steps.
The Goguryeo side had absolutely nothing to do with these heavily armored soldiers.
Because there are hooks on the Cloud Bridge, it is difficult to push it away after it is set up on the city wall.
And because Mo Dao soldiers' bodies were covered with heavy armor, they were unable to use arrows to cause damage to their opponents.
And because of the attack by the trebuchet troops just now, the rolling logs and stones they prepared in advance were buried under the scattered stones, making it very inconvenient to pick them up.
So much so that they didn't even have the most basic weapons to defend the city.
With those fist-sized stones, they were unable to inflict any damage on the Mo Dao soldiers.
At this moment, these people could only watch helplessly as the Mo Dao soldiers got closer and closer to their side, and finally used the terrifying long knife to chop off the heads of the brothers beside them.
By the time Mo Dao soldiers rushed to the top of the city, the entire battle situation was almost irreversible.
After the Mo Dao soldiers climbed to the top of the city, each one of them acted like a murderous devil, slashing and killing everyone they met.
Seeing this scene, Gao Jianye, the guard, also sat down on the ground.
Like being struck by lightning.
He is not an incompetent person. If there is no ladder truck and trebuchet, they may really be able to persevere.
But there is no if in this world...
In less than two hours, the city he was stationed in was breached.
And he could only abandon the city and flee under the protection of his generals.
At this point, several important towns in the interior of Goguryeo fell under the control of Li Chengqian. ??
Inland, it was no longer possible for Goguryeo to make a comeback.
The Goguryeo royal court could only place all its hopes on the team that went to sneak attack the Tang Dynasty rear army.
However, at this time, the team seemed to be unable to protect itself.
…
Just when Li Chengqian raised his troops to attack Liaodong City.
Gao Zhixing had already begun to fight against the team that sneaked into Mohe's territory quietly and planned to join forces with Mohe to attack the Tang Dynasty's rear army.
Goguryeo and Mohe sent a total of nearly 70,000 troops this time, which was at least as large as that of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, this team was personally led by the famous Goguryeo general Eulji Mundeok. Anyone could see that this team could compete with the Tang Dynasty.
However, they did underestimate Li Chengqian's IQ.
He even underestimated Gao Zhixing's ability.
This group of people haven't even left Mohe's territory yet.
Gao Zhixing was very carefree in fighting. He never confronted the enemy head-on, but only set traps along the way and harassed them from time to time.
Although it doesn't hurt much, it is extremely insulting.
The military situation ahead is urgent now, and our side has been held back by such rogue means by the other side.
Even though he was a calm person like Eulji Munduk, he couldn't help but be angered by his rogue style of play.
He directly ordered his fierce general Jin Zhicong to pursue Gao Zhixing at any cost.
Jin Zhicong is also a fierce man. After this guy gets the order, he really So he led 20,000 soldiers and horses to pursue Gao Zhixing day and night.
I don't know whether Gao Zhixing did it on purpose or accidentally, but he actually led the team into a dead end.
Seeing this scene, Jin Zhicong was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
He directly raised his long sword high and said to the soldiers: "These Tang dogs panicked and ran into a dead end."
"Brothers, our opportunity to make a meritorious deed has come. Rush up and kill them all without leaving any trace behind!"
Following his words, the Goguryeo soldiers behind him swarmed forward, roaring and rushing forward.
Ten thousand people passed by without borders, and nearly 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers shouted and charged together. How huge was the scene?
But the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in the valley showed no signs of panic.
In particular, a smile began to appear on the face of General Gao Zhixing.
Seeing the huge enemy army in front of him approaching step by step, Gao Zhixing slowly raised his hand and shouted: "Prepare the arrow formation, release!"
Gao Zhixing's first attack was the arrow array.
Following Gao Zhixing's order, a shower of arrows flew into the sky. After flying to the top, they turned sharply and poured down on the heads of the Goguryeo army.
In an instant, the Goguryeo army's camp was filled with screams.
Many soldiers were still running forward but were suddenly hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
In the Goguryeo military formation, countless gaps instantly appeared, and the front army suddenly became confused.
Some Goguryeo soldiers were shot in vital parts by arrows and died on the spot.
Some were injured by arrows and fell to the ground screaming in agony.
But as the next wave of arrows arrived, there was immediately no sound.
Under such an intensity of the offensive, even the commander commanding the battle was not spared...
Goguryeo soldiers fell down row after row, and corpses were piled on top of each other in the canyon.
However, because of the sacrifice of the high-ranking soldiers in the front line, time was bought for the high-ranking soldiers in the rear line...
