The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

When he woke up the next day, Du He heaved a long sigh.

Gentle township, heroic!

Whether it is a hero, a hero, an emperor, or a great man, none of them can escape the temptation of gentleness.

Chapter 252 The Battle of Marutu Mountain City Begins

The next day.

The imperial army is dispatched.

200 steps away from the city gate, the logistics soldiers of the Tang Emperor's Army were doing soil work.

There are light infantry guards on both sides to prevent the Gaoguli soldiers and horses from the Wandu mountain city.

On the wall of Wandu Mountain City, the people of Koguryo watched the imperial army pile up the earth.

I was puzzled.

What does Tang Dijun mean?

One does not attack the city, and the other does not fill the moat.

"General Gao, the Tang Emperor's army wants to build a mound of earth so that the soldiers can stand on top of it and look down on it.

In that way, the archers of the Tang Emperor's army could shoot at the city wall. However, it seems that the distance is 200 steps. Is there a bow that far away? "

A Koguryo lieutenant guessed.

"I heard that the bow of the Emperor Tang's army is a brand new weapon with a very long range, reaching more than 200 steps."

Another general said.

The city lord Gao Zhanyang heaved a long sigh.

At a distance of 200 steps, the archers of Gaogouli could not reach that far at all.

Once the Tang Emperor's army piled up, the defense on the city wall was very difficult.

Gao Zhanyang wanted to send troops to attack and harass, but he saw light infantry on both sides of the Tang Emperor's army.

Don't dare!

Soldiers and horses who go out of the city to attack and harass them may go out and never return.

"Then what should we do? Can we just watch the Tang Emperor's army pile up the earth, once the Tang Emperor's army piles up the earth,

It is very difficult for us to defend, and it will bring great trouble to the defense on the city wall.Tell me, what should we do? "

Gao Zhanyang asked.

Gao Zhanyang is the cousin of King Gao Jianwu. He has always been known for his toughness and belongs to the Gaoguli hawks.

"We dispatched cavalry to harass the progress of the Tang Emperor's army, and it won't affect it too much."

A general shook his head.

"If you don't send troops to harass, the progress of Tang Emperor's army will be very fast, and it will be completed in less than a day. We should send troops,

However, you don't need too many soldiers and horses, just let the cavalry go up and kill the soldiers of the Tang Emperor's army. "

The deputy general suggested.

The city lord Gao Zhanyang was troubled!

Even if the iron cavalry goes out of the city to fight, the effect will not be very good.

After all, the Tang Emperor's army set up a battle formation and sent out few iron cavalry, which was not enough for the Tang Emperor's archers to shoot and kill.

Send a lot of troops and horses, you can't afford to lose!

What to do?

there's no way!

Don't send soldiers and horses out of the city to harass or sneak attack. Once the soil piles up, it will pose too great a threat to Wandu Mountain City.

"Send 1000 iron cavalry out of the city to fight and harass the fortification work of the Tang Emperor's army."

Gao Zhanyang ordered.

Through the binoculars, I saw the Suspension Bridge of Marudu Mountain City slowly falling.

Du He was slightly taken aback!

Hey!

The Gaoguli people went out to fight in the city.

"Mr. Li, the heavy cavalry is ready. Once the Gaoguli people leave the city to fight, they will go up immediately. Not only will they stay behind, but it is best to seize the city gate."

Doo Ho said.

"As ordered!"

Li Dejian replied.

Next, the heavy cavalry quickly put armor on the horses, and the soldiers put on heavy armor.

The heavy cavalry had just taken care of their horses and saw the city gate opened.

Gaoguli 1000 cavalry rushed out of the city gate.

"Calista, shoot! Archers, shoot! Kill the enemy in front of the formation, and don't let them rush to the logistics engineers."

Duhe ordered.

Whoosh whoosh!

More than 2000 crossbow arrows were quickly shot towards the Gaogouli iron cavalry running out.

Puff puff!

Ah!

A Gaoguli Iron Rider fell off his horse.

Unmanned war horses are running around.

All of a sudden, the people in Gaoguli's formation turned their backs on their backs.

Tens of thousands of archers, under the command of the commander, raised their bows and set arrows one after another.

aim!

locking!

shooting!

Whoosh whoosh!

Tens of thousands of arrows headed towards the Gaoguli iron cavalry.

Indiscriminate shooting.

At a distance of 200 steps, the Gaoguli cavalry had just left the city, and was immediately shot and killed by the archers.

Only a few people rushed out, but what awaited them was a forest of guns.

Puff puff!

The pikemen stabbed out with a single shot, accompanied by a Gaogouli Iron Rider who fell down.

Rumble!

1000 heavy cavalry attack.

He rushed up to meet the Gaoguli iron cavalry who rushed out of the city.

The purpose is not to kill the Gaogouli cavalry, but to rob the Gaoguli city gate.

Seeing that the Tang Emperor's heavy cavalry were about to kill the suspension bridge.

On the city wall, Gao Zhanyang saw that the Tang Emperor's army dispatched heavy cavalry, and knew it was over.

Immediately ordered to raise the drawbridge and close the city gate.

Guck!

Guck!

The city gate was slowly closed, and the suspension bridge was slowly raised.

Pity!

It almost made it.

In desperation, Li Dejian had no choice but to return with the heavy cavalry.

"Mr. Li, don't be discouraged! This is a temporary decision. Whoever made the people of Gaoguli so cautious will close the city gate immediately."

Du He patted Li Dejian's arm and comforted him.

Gao Zhanyang, who was standing on the city wall, was so angry!

1000 iron cavalry went out of the city, but nothing worked. Even the hair of the logistics soldiers of the Tang Emperor's army did not touch them, and they all died.

In a few minutes, the 1000 cavalry were gone.

At this time, Gao Zhanyang had a new understanding and understanding of the ferocity of the Tang Emperor's army.

"City Master, the Emperor Tang's army is digging underground fortifications. They want to enter the city from the ground. We have to be on guard."

A Koguryo human said.

"Soldiers of the Tang Emperor's army are digging holes so blatantly, and they don't mean to cover them at all. What's the situation?"

The city lord Gao Zhanyang asked.

All fools understand that digging underground fortifications is not carried out secretly.

When the Tang Emperor's army arrived, they excavated openly, as if the people of Gaogouli were not clear.

"City Master, the Tang Emperor's army has a conspiracy. It would be so blatant to operate, unless that Du He's head got flooded or was caught by the door."

A Koguryo man joked.

"City Lord, since the Tang Emperor's army is acting like this, we just need to place a few buckets of water inside the city gate and send soldiers to observe.

As long as there is any movement of the water in the bucket, a deep ditch will be dug out of the city immediately, so we don't need to guess wildly. "

The deputy general said.

"City owner, you can't wait until there is any movement before digging. You must dig ditches from the city at this time, and prepare a lot of water.

Once the trench is dug, it is best to fill it directly with water.In that way, no matter what the Tang Emperor's army is, it is impossible to sneak into the city. "

Another Koguryo general suggested.

"City Lord, the Tang Emperor's army is too cunning, we can't be careless, we must prepare in advance, and don't let the Tang Emperor's conspiracy succeed."

Another general spoke up.

"Okay! Immediately organize soldiers to dig a ditch beside the inner city wall. The ditch must be dug a little deeper, so that the plot of the Tang Emperor's army cannot succeed."

City Lord Gao Zhanyang ordered.

"As ordered!"

What about Emperor Tang?

Really digging holes.

It was carried out blatantly, without covering up at all, so that the people of Gaoguli could see clearly.

Mounds and caves are carried out together.

In one day, a tall mound of earth was erected.

The burrow is not easy, it will take several days.

On the second day, thousands of divine archers of the Tang Emperor's army stood on the mound and started shooting at the wall of Wandu Mountain City.

Whoosh whoosh!

The rain of arrows all over the sky rushed towards the city wall.
