Datang Live Room

In ancient wars, there was a saying that fire and water are ruthless.

Mainly because the ancient army's defense against this force of nature was quite weak.

Water is difficult to borrow, but for Yan Kai, fire is much easier to borrow.

With more than a thousand years of knowledge ahead, humans have also made many developments in the use of fire.

At least this white phosphorus incendiary bomb is basically unsolvable in this era.

In less than two hours, the moat on this side of the city wall was filled in by Su Dingfang's tens of thousands of troops.

After all, there is no interference from the bows and arrows on the city wall, so it is not too troublesome to just fill in the river.

Su Dingfang was about to issue an order for the army to attack the city, but was stopped by Yan Kai.

"Wait until Chun Yuzhen opens the city gate."

Su Dingfang looked at the rush car on his side, then at Chun Yuzhen and the others, and asked curiously:

"You didn't bring a rush car, how can you open the city gate?"

He looked at Yan Kai's trebuchet and asked, "Is it possible that you plan to burn down the city gate?"

As long as the fire is strong enough, copper and iron can be burned into copper liquid and molten iron, and burning a city gate is nothing.

Yan Kai shook his head and said: "We have to burn down the city gate, and we don't know when the fire will be extinguished. It's going to be dark now, and we can't take Liaodong City before dark!"

He pointed at Chun Yuzhen, who had already led people to rush forward, and said, "General Su, just ask your subordinates to wait a moment."

Su Dingfang used his binoculars to look curiously at the people who ran up. Each of them had a shield, not even a weapon.

Is it possible that the shield can be used to break open the city gate?

But he couldn't see that each of Chun Yuzhen and the others actually held an explosive pack.

It is difficult to prepare gunpowder with stable power and suitable for artillery use.

But if you just want powerful, explosive gunpowder, it's actually much simpler.

The people Chun Yuzhen is leading now are the explosives used for mining in Kuoding County.

The stability and power have been proven in the mining area.

Those huge rocks can be exploded. Isn't it easy to blow up such a city gate?

He used the glue that came with the explosive package to stick it on the city gate. Chun Yuzhen also jumped up and stuck his own one high in the air.

Then several people lit the long fuses at the same time and started running back.

"General Su, you can prepare to attack the city!" Yan Kai said, waving his hand.

The trebuchet, which had advanced a lot forward, began to throw out a new round of incendiary bombs.

This time all these incendiary bombs fell into Liaodong City.

Even if they could not see the situation inside the city, the defenders of Liaodong City did not dare to defend the city wall, so they must be hiding behind the city wall.

These incendiary bombs and the thick smoke directly caused chaos to the Liaodong City defenders behind.

At this moment, a loud noise like a bolt from the blue came from the city gate.

Then the thick city gate, which seemed to them to be extremely strong, just... broke!

"Rush!" I didn't quite understand how Yan Kai and the others did it.

But such a fighter opportunity would not be missed by a famous general like Su Dingfang.

The leader took the lead and rushed forward with his 30,000 troops.

The city gate is narrow, so the initial battle is bound to be a tough battle.

So Su Dingfang went up with his guards without hesitation.

They all wore mail armor customized by Kuoding County, which had amazing defensive power.

The weapons in his hands can also be said to be the sharpest and most powerful in this era.

In addition, his combat power is astonishing.

As soon as they engaged in the battle, the Liaodong defenders were burned to pieces and their ears were ringing with shock.

Then 30,000 troops rushed in and started street fighting.

The Tang army defeated Liaodong City in the northern border of Goryeo, known as the Invincible City, in one day, with unprecedented momentum.

Especially since they were underestimated by the friendly forces in Kuoding County today, at this time they have to let the friendly forces in Kuoding County take a look.

They're not bad either.

On the other hand, the Goryeo army on the other side had been beaten since the morning. They were rushed into the city without even touching a hair of the Tang army.

With the morale of the army weakened, many people began to surrender after one or two attacks.

"Uncle, let's fight in too, shall we?" Chun Yuzhen and the others couldn't help but feel itchy when they heard the shouts of killing in the city.

"Go!" Yan Kai nodded.

Going into street fighting at this time, with the melee weapons of the Liaodong defenders, it would be difficult to pose much of a threat to the soldiers in Kuoding County who were armed to the teeth.

"It's a pity that there are still not enough trebuchets and too few incendiary bombs."

It has been said that Yan Kai is a conservative.

He felt that the war should be fought with white phosphorous bombs, and the army would finally go in and engage in street fighting for harvesting.

"Are all the city gates guarded?"

"Yes." Li Anyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, it has been arranged long ago."

Their main attack was on a city wall, and Yan Kai had no intention of using any siege tactics.

There is no such thing as three missing and one missing.

Each wall was guarded by a small group of men.

Everyone knows that ancient city walls were basically composed of several directions and then several gates.

To leave the city, you can only open the city gate and lower the drawbridge.

Therefore, it is not easy for the siege party to attack the city, but it is too easy to guard the people inside and prevent them from coming out.

There are several crossbows facing the suspension bridge. Whoever comes over the suspension bridge will die.

As for swimming across the moat, isn't that a living target for the light cavalry on horseback carrying a crossbow?

By around eight o'clock in the evening, the killing cries in Liaodong City had basically stopped.

The general of Liaodong was tied up with five flowers and thrown in front of Yan Kai and the others.

"You broke your promise..."

"I'll carry you on my back!" Chun Yuzhen slapped him.

How dare you spit on your uncle.

"you……"

"Your uncle!"

After two slaps, the Liaodong guard became honest.

"Invite Lao Zhang here." Yan Kai ordered.

Then he said to Su Dingfang: "General Su, soldiers are valuable and quick. I think we should advance quickly and advance quickly before Gao Li can react."

Su Dingfang nodded and said: "I think so too. Leave two thousand people to control Liaodong City and we will continue to advance."

The Liaodong city guard was quite tough.

But he still has a lot of soft bones under his hands.

They had a rough grasp of the military strength of the cities behind Liaodong City, and each city only had a few thousand people.

"What I mean is that if General Su divides his troops and we have four armies in total, we can attack four of the opponent's cities at the same time."

Yan Kai came up with a crazy plan.

"But..." Su Dingfang was puzzled: "These four cities, without your siege machines, I'm afraid..."

"No need for siege engines."

Yan Kai shook his head directly: "Even if those machines are dismantled and transported, it will be too time-consuming. Now that the troops are very fast, we will march directly."

"When the time comes, just let Gao Lijun let us in!"

"Let Gao Lijun...let us in?"
