Turbulent Times Chapter 1120: The power of heaven and earth
The eight-ox crossbow is so powerful that piercing a person's body is like piercing a piece of white paper. Continue to annihilate the Goguryeo people.
The trebuchets continued to bombard the city. If they could take the opportunity to destroy the Goguryeo trebuchets, that would be the biggest result.
In order to break the city, the twelve generals tried their best. The stones of the Sui army were mixed with jars of kerosene, and when the kerosene was on the top of the city, smoke was everywhere, but the effect was not good. It rose up and quickly disappeared on the city wall. This is because Yuan Taizuo has been preparing for the defense of Liaodong City for several years for this battle.
Seeing the tide of Goguryeo's light cavalry smashing into the hard rock of the emperor's personal guards, Shan Xiongxin was slightly relieved.
Behind the Goguryeo city gate, the horn of the retreating troops sounded, causing the Goguryeo cavalry in the battlefield to retreat slowly, and the emperor's personal guards were unable to catch up.
Although the two thousand and five hundred emperor's personal guards who had advanced to the city blocked the Goguryeo cavalry's charge, they suffered heavy casualties. There were only more than a thousand people left. I tried my best to stay on the battlefield.
Fortunately, when they were retreating, there were only a few sparse stones flying above their heads, which indicated that the Goguryeo catapults had suffered heavy losses during the blast just now.
Yuwen Chengdu is naturally different from the ordinary bodyguards of the Son of Heaven. He returned to the army formation covered in blood, still in high spirits and full of murderous intent. He stared at Shan Xiongxin and shouted sharply: "When will your secret treasure be used?" ?”
Shan Xiongxin frowned and said, "Hurry up, if you push it a little closer, it will be used."
…
The wounded on the battlefield were ignored, the heavy marching drums rang again, and the infantry of the Sui army started to attack the city again.
The catapults of the Sui army showed their power again. At the same time, the tall ladders were erected one by one, and the climbing soldiers were as dense as ants.
Shan Xiongxin pushed forward again under the cover of the remaining 2,000 emperor's personal guards, but this process caused the loss of more than 500 emperor's personal guards.
Shan Xiongxin pointed to the Liaodong city gate and asked
Dao: "If we pile up gunpowder at the gate of the city, can we blow up the gate?"
The head of the hundred people nodded and said: "Although this city gate looks very strong and solid, it should be able to blow up completely with a thousand catties of explosives at most, and we brought two thousand catties of explosives."
Yu Wencheng came to urge again: "When will your secret treasure be used? If this continues, all of us will die here."
Shan Xiongxin said: "We need ten dead men, put these ten packages in front of the city gate."
Yu Wencheng said without hesitation: "Okay, I will immediately send the ten strongest people to listen to your orders."
Shan Xiongxin glanced at some Sui soldiers on the top of the city, and said: "These secret treasures will blow up the entire city wall near the city gate. Killed."
Yu Wencheng glanced at the soldiers of the Sui army on the top of the city, and said coldly: "As long as they can capture Liaodong City, they will die well."
"Hurry up!" At the end, Yu Wencheng scolded.
Shan Xiongxin noticed that Yuwen Chengdu's eyes had turned red, and he looked at him with violent murderous intent. He had no doubt that if he dared to refuse, Yuwen Chengdu would attack him.
Shan Xiongxin looked at the soldiers of the Sui army who were fighting fiercely at the top of the city, and said calmly: "In this case, do whatever you want."
Yuwen Chengdu selected ten powerful bodyguards from the emperor's army.
Shan Xiongxin waved his hand to the head of the hundred, and immediately ten packs of 100-jin explosives were delivered to the ten emperor's personal guards.
At the order of Shan Xiongxin in the Sui Dynasty, these ten guards of the emperor's army, who had the strength of the foundation building period, wore heavy armor, and even covered their faces, rushed towards the city wall with a 100-jin explosive pack each. past.
When the ten guards of the emperor's army in heavy armor rushed to the gate of the city, Shan Xiongxin ordered five catapults to fire five catapults, each with two hundred catties of gunpowder packets. out.
"Boom boom boom..." Fifteen explosions sounded together, and everyone heard the earth-shattering loud noise, and the whole earth trembled at this moment.
Yu Wencheng was caught off guard and his body trembled, but he stabilized quickly
Standing still, but the others didn't have his strength. Countless Sui soldiers under the city were frightened and shocked, and their bodies staggered a lot.
After the rumbling sound, the ground stopped trembling, and the city of Liaocheng in the distance was shrouded in dust all over the sky.
Shan Xiongxin didn't need to look there to know what kind of consequences it would be. He led two hundred people and left the battlefield quietly before Yu Wencheng woke up from the horror, heading for the sea.
Before he came here, Wang Junlin told him that this secret weapon was exposed to the world, to the Sui Emperor Yang Guang. It is difficult to hide some things they did in Fanyang County. Will be tortured by Yang Guang about the secrets of explosives.
Fist-sized stones splashed out from the thick smoke, and Yu Wencheng shook his body with less than two thousand emperor's personal guards, holding up a huge shield together, letting the stones jingle on the shield , He hides his head and shrinks his tail, not daring to confront Tianwei.
The ears of everyone on the battlefield were buzzing, and someone opened their mouth wide and shouted something, but they couldn't hear a word...
Eight hundred steps away, the high platform where Yang Guang was standing began to shake. Under the protection of a group of expert guards, Yang Guang got off the high platform with a pale face and extremely excited, and then the seemingly incomparably solid high platform fell apart.
The north wind in the summer finally blew away the dust in Liaodong City. Hundreds of thousands of Sui soldiers and civil and military officials on the battlefield looked at the scene in front of them. They were dumbfounded, and tens of thousands of people knelt on the ground with a plop, raised their arms high and roared mournfully: "Oh my God!"
The city wall that the Sui army paid 100,000 people failed to attack the city centered on the west city gate, and the entire west city wall disappeared...
There are only rubble and half-broken walls everywhere. Not only that, the dead bodies of Goguryeo people are lying in the rubble of the city wall and in the urn behind. The dead war horses and some Goguryeo people who were far away were bleeding from their eyes and ears. They tried to stand up, but fell to the ground after all...
Shan Xiongxin led two hundred people and rode the prepared horses for more than half a day, and then they arrived at the seashore, where a large ship was in charge of picking them up.
