Chapter 1075: Different Offensive and Defensive Battles (10)
In the evening, Liu Yidong wanted to organize a night attack on Goguryeo. Wang Junlin knew that this battle was already going on at an extremely critical moment. Taking advantage of the darkness, he ordered the ship to approach the port and took Luo Shixin, Yang Xuanba, Zhang Tiangang and a group of hundreds of guard masters to attack.
The boat, with the help of troops sent from the city, successfully entered the city.
Because the direction of the harbor is very close to the sea, two thousand naval forces can attack it at any time with trebuchets and long-range crossbows. Therefore, Yeon Gaesomun did not dare to leave anyone in this direction. Even if he saw someone entering the city, he ignored it.
And I wish that all the naval forces at sea could enter the city! This way, their retreat would at least be freed up.
In addition, as Wang Junlin's flag has been planted on the city top, Yuan Gaiting Suwen always thought that Wang Junlin was in the city, and never thought that Wang Junlin was among the hundreds of people, otherwise he would definitely do it at all costs
Mobilize everyone to kill them.
Wang Junlin entered the city and rested for a while at the place arranged by Liu Yidong. Yang Kongchan knocked on the door, then opened the door and came in directly, sitting directly beside his bed. Wang Junlin naturally woke up. Wang Junlin originally asked Yang
Kong Chan stayed on the big ship, but the latter insisted on following Wang Junlin, so he also entered the city.
Seeing Yang Kongchan's ambiguous gaze, Wang Junlin pretended not to notice, lying down and asked: "Is it time for Liu Yidong's night attack?"
"Yes, sir, you told me to go to the city to supervise the formation, and I came here specifically to call you!" Yang Kongchan looked at Wang Junlin resentfully, as if she was complaining that Wang Junlin didn't eat her, and said softly at this time
As he spoke, he picked up the clothes hanging by the side and began to dress Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin had become accustomed to Yang Kongchan's service in the past few days and allowed her to put on her clothes.
Then he took the Dragon Bird Knife and the small rifle that Nie Xiaoyu had built for him from the wooden stand at the door, inserted them into the corresponding positions on his belt, and went out.
Yang Kongchan saw Wang Junlin's appearance and said quickly: "Sir, I haven't put on the armor yet."
As Wang Junlin continued to walk out, he said with a smile: "What kind of armor are you wearing? We are standing at the top of Bailing City. Now Goguryeo bows and arrows and trebuchets can't hit us."
Yang Kongchan thought about it, so he followed behind. Outside the house, Zhang Tiangang led ten dead soldiers and a group of guards to follow silently, and a group of people climbed up the city wall together.
"Where are Xin'er and Xuanba?" Wang Junlin suddenly discovered that the two most active teenagers were missing.
Zhang Tiangang said quickly: "Sir, these two little guys ran to Liu Yidong and volunteered to participate in the night attack. They also made a bet to see who could kill more Goguryeo people. Your Majesty said before that two more boys should go through the battle.
Formation, so there is no way to stop me from my humble position."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Of course I won't stop it. With these two guys joining us, the probability of a night attack tonight will be 10% higher."
Wang Junlin knew very well that with the strength of Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba, especially the martial arts they practiced and their unique talents and natural powers, although they were young, they were already invincible generals on the battlefield. It was just right to use them to charge into battle.
Steel is used in the blade.
At this time, it was cloudy at night, with no light from the stars and the moon, and no lanterns were lit on the city wall. With the help of firelight elsewhere, Wang Junlin finally found Liu Yidong's location, where drum and trumpeters from the Chinese army had gathered, and there were also
Two wooden objects that release Wang Junlin's unique fireworks signals.
When Liu Yidong saw Wang Junlin arriving, he and a group of people beside him quickly knelt down to salute. Wang Junlin waved his hand to stop them, indicating that they should continue busy with their own affairs, and casually asked: "Are the sneak attack troops in place?"
"Replying to my lord, we have arrived at the preparation position No. 1." Liu Yidong roughly pointed to the position.
Wang Junlin looked over with a telescope, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.
"I have already left the city at the beginning of the day, and now there is still a quarter of an hour before departure."
Wang Junlin nodded and asked, "Where is the assembly location?"
"Just outside the north gate, on the west side."
Wang Junlin poked his head from the outside of the city tower to see the assembly point on the west side. The open space behind the earth wall there was filled with people standing in darkness. They were forming a team. Two boys, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba, were holding weapons and were following two wild beasts who were about to be released.
Like a tiger, extremely excited.
By the light of the city's fire, Wang Junlin could see the rapid-fire crossbows they had on their waists. This type of fast crossbow was Wang Junlin's latest series of individual weapons. The cost was not low, but each fast crossbow could be fired at once.
The eight crossbow arrows have an effective killing range of up to thirty steps. They are most suitable for night fighting and street fighting. They are also a powerful weapon when climbing a city. In addition to the rapid-fire crossbow, each member of the sneak attack team carries two porcelain grenades.
After the captain who led the team gave them a brief mobilization, the soldiers roared low and then started to set off.
Wang Junlin watched as their blurry figures gradually disappeared into the darkness.
…
At the last moment, two red fireworks rose from the north wall of Bailing. The quiet earth wall defense line was like a volcano erupting. All the trebuchets, long-range crossbows, and ordinary crossbows began bombarding them at the same time. No stone bullets or crossbow arrows could be seen.
, but the harsh piercing sound kept ringing, and it sounded extremely scary at night.
The attack position was behind the earthen walls on both wings, and soon there were screams from the Goguryeo side.
Wang Junlin's trebuchet is a powerful siege weapon. Compared with other long-range attack weapons, its shortcomings are low rate of fire and low accuracy. The rough-polished stone projectiles fly very irregularly. Liu Yidong is worried that they will fly on top of the night attack team.
They didn't dare to use it for direct support. Instead, they fired it at the two wings of the sneak attack position, disrupting the enemy forces on both wings and leaving them no time to reinforce.
Goguryeo soldiers everywhere were hurriedly setting up their defenses. The sudden burst of long-range attacks made it impossible for them to judge the intentions of Wang Junlin's side. The darkness made them uncomfortable, and they thought it was just a long-range sneak attack.
The attack position was thirty steps away from the Goguryeo earth wall. Groups of figures jumped up, and a string of torches lit up behind them. Wang Junlin saw through the telescope that the attack team was rapidly advancing. A group of Goguryeo archers appeared on the earth wall. Goguryeo's
The earthen wall was not yet perfect, so they could not use their strength to shoot arrows on the slope, so they could only risk standing on the top of the slope. A group of soldiers from Wang Junlin's side who were covering the rear fired a volley of rapid-fire crossbows, knocking down most of the first group of archers.
Fall to the ground.
Using the cover of this round of rapid-fire crossbows, the sneak attack team rushed under the earthen wall of Goguryeo and ignited the porcelain grenades in their hands. The first batch of porcelain grenades were thrown into the earthen wall, and there was a burst of screams inside. In an instant, there was a burst of fire behind the earthen wall.
The porcelain grenade, which was like a hedgehog, split into dozens of porcelain pieces that flew at high speed, sweeping across the back of the earthen wall, with astonishing lethality.
There were three gaps in Wang Junlin's attack position. The sneak attack team threw dense porcelain grenades there, and then the sneak attack team took advantage of the chaos behind the Goguryeo earthen wall after the explosion and swarmed in through the passage.
