The first thousand one hundred and forty-two chapters seize the city
There was a buzzing sound, and the crossbow arrows unique to Goguryeo were shot out with a screaming sound. On top of the city wall, the terrain was narrow, and there was no room to dodge. Eight guns and crossbows flew past, and immediately opened eight bloody paths in the crowd.
At this time, a large number of Goguryeo troops arrived both above and below the city. The sound of horse hoofs could be heard in the distance. Apparently there were cavalry coming from the city. Zhang Tiangang glanced at a group of subordinates on the city gate who were conducting long-range attacks, and thought
Thinking that there should be no problem on the city, he hurried down to the city with some of his people. The city gate was the key point, with 200 special forces experts and 150 guards guarding it.
The south gate faces the city. Zhang Tiangang led his people to temporarily build a simple barricade using earth bags and some furniture. Behind it were some powerful crossbows taken from the city top. Zhang Tiangang and his party were well-equipped, all equipped with weapons produced by Shedao.
The sharpest steel knives, a short dagger made of fine steel for each person, and a rapid-fire crossbow. Before the melee battle even started, the long-range attack alone suppressed the Goguryeo soldiers pouring on the street a hundred steps away.
Unable to advance even an inch, we could only shoot at them with bows and arrows from a distance.
The leader of Pyongyang, Gao Jianwu, was by no means an incompetent person. In fact, he was a man of both civil and military skills. He did not wait for news in the palace, but personally rushed to the south gate with a group of guards. However, when he arrived, there was already a stalemate here.
After half a stick of incense, he heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer outside the south city. He looked at the open south gate and the falling suspension bridge. Gao Jianwu's face was ashen. The current situation was that if he failed to recapture the south city before the enemy cavalry arrived,
Door, then today will be the end of the city being broken and the body dead.
"Charge over here." Gao Jianwu roared and took the lead in charging forward. The few cavalry he brought with him were all palace guards.
Following the roar of their king, without any hesitation, these guards followed Gao Jianwu to break the horses and rushed forward. The crossbows roared, and the horses fell to the ground, and some directly hit the simple barricades.
On the way up, the simple barricade collapsed. The masters of the special forces behind had to dodge, and the rain of arrows immediately became sparse.
In one charge, more than a dozen horses and their knights fell down, and the street was blocked by corpses. The following cavalry could no longer charge. Gao Jianwu threw his saddle and dismounted, holding the spear in his hand and shouting:
"Life or death depends on this moment. Come with me and rush over."
Before he finished speaking, he took the lead and killed them. Inspired by the leader's example, the infantrymen behind them raised their spears and swarmed forward with shouts. The soldiers behind them were even more busy checking the horses to death.
Drag it to the side of the street and create a temporary passage for the continuous reinforcements from behind to rush and kill.
Waving iron guns, the special forces masters who came forward were repelled, injured, and even two of them died. Gao Jianwu injured one person with one step and approached the city gate step by step. One hundred and fifty special force masters threw away the long bows in their hands.
, pulled out the steel knife, roared and came forward, one stick of incense, they only needed to hold on for one stick of incense, and now, half of the time had passed. Looking back, they could already see through the city gate that they were approaching quickly.
of fire dragon.
Zhang Tiangang met Gao Jianwu. Zhang Tiangang was a master of breaking the power. Under the personal guidance of Nie Xiaoyu, although he had only been promoted for more than a year, he was much better than ordinary masters of breaking the power. At this time, he waved his sword and fought with Gao Jianwu.
Zuo Yituan was originally one inch long, one inch strong, one inch short, and one inch dangerous. However, in this crowded killing field, his sword was more effective than Gao Jianwu's spear. With Zhang Tiangang standing up to Gao Jianwu,
The pressure on the masters of the special forces was greatly reduced. With their swords flying, they were on par with the Goguryeo soldiers who were several times more numerous than them.
If it were on a spacious battlefield, these one hundred and fifty people might not be able to play a big role. Under the attack of several times the enemy, they would soon fail. But now the entire South City Gate is in chaos.
The Pyongyang defenders were unable to form a combat formation at all and could only engage in melee combat with the enemy based on the terrain. This gave the experts of the Special Forces Group, who had much stronger individual soldiers, an advantage. In addition, Zhang Tiangang and his party had the strength of the steel knives in their hands.
The sharpness and sturdiness are also reflected at this time. Pyongyang soldiers often attack them with all their strength. With a bang, the Pyongyang defenders' knives are cut off, the spear shafts are cut off, and then their heads are chopped off.
Down.
However, as the saying goes, the number of ants kills the tiger, the Pyongyang defenders were much more numerous than Zhang Tiangang and his party, more than ten times, dozens of times, so the Pyongyang soldiers were still slowly approaching the city gate.
On the top of the city tower, fifty masters of the Special Forces Brigade saw that the situation below the city was not good. They immediately turned their arrows and with a whoosh, the Pyongyang soldiers in the front row fell down one after another.
Gao Jianwu was extremely anxious. He had practiced the profound martial arts secretly passed down by the royal family, and was also a master who had passed the level of martial arts. However, he was still no match for Zhang Tiangang. Seeing that he could not gain the upper hand, he furiously threw away the spear in his hand and drew out his waist.
He slashed at Zhang Tiangang like a mad tiger, forcing Zhang Tiangang to take two steps back.
On the top of the city, a master of the special forces fired his bow, and with a whoosh, he shot an arrow at Gao Jianwu. Gao Jianwu was not destined to die. At this moment, Zhang Tiangang stabbed him with a sword. He shrunk his neck, and the arrow hit his helmet.
He was shot away with a crash, but he himself was not injured at all. However, frightened by this, Zhang Tiangang quickly seized this rare opportunity, and the sword in his hand struck out like lightning. Gao Jianwu hurriedly
He used the sword in his hand to block it, but was chopped several steps away. After slashing with Zhang Tiangang for more than ten times, the sword in his hand finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke into two pieces with a click.
Gao Jianwu steadied his body and looked at Zhang Tiangang again and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. His heart sank completely. Zhang Tiangang was much stronger than him. With Zhang Tiangang standing in front of him, his soldiers suddenly
It's hard to take a step forward.
The shouts of killing rang in his ears like thunder, countless torches illuminated the North City Gate, and the sound of horse hooves was very close. Gao Jianwu looked at the North City Gate a few steps away, but it seemed as far away as the end of the world.
"It's too late, the situation is over, it's too late! Leave now, otherwise you will be captured by the Sui people or even die here." He shouted in his heart.
With a certain thought in mind, Gao Jianwu made a feint of his sword and turned around to leave. As soon as he turned around, the palace guards accompanying him all turned around and ran away with him.
"Kill!" Outside the city, Wang Junlin was carrying a horse and riding a blood-maned horse. He rushed across the suspension bridge first and rushed into the north gate.
