The shouts of killing frightened the stickmen guarding Liaodong City. They had never seen such fierce shouts of killing in their lives.

As the important fulcrum of Bangzi Kingdom in the west, the Gao family gained the right to dominate here after the battle with Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

The person with the highest power in Liaodong City is Gao Jianwu's younger brother Gao Jianwen. Although he was not very old in the war that year, he was also involved in it. He had seen the power of the Sui Dynasty. The city was breached several times if not for the help of several times.

They would have died long ago if they pretended to surrender.

Today's soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are more elite than those brought by Emperor Sui Yang, which made him feel a little worried.

Can you hold on this time?

Gao Jianwen felt that he had no confidence in his heart.

"What should I do, General Gao?"

"Hold and wait for reinforcements from cities like Baiyan, Houhuang, Hengshan, and Momi"

"yes"

But can they come to support?

In fact, Gao Jianwen himself had no idea. The tribe had moved south and was already wreaking havoc on this land. Even though Gao Xiaojian followed others and started negotiations, the results were minimal. Those who had enjoyed the benefits were unwilling to stop at all.

Now that the battle in Liaodong City has begun, Gao Jianwen feels that he is still not prepared enough.

Gongsun Zan was the general sent by Li Mingda. He still didn't know the true strength of Gongsun Zan. This man had not been in Liaodong for a long time, but his control over Liaodong far exceeded his expectations.

The only thing that reassured him was that Gongsun Zan didn't seem to bring any large siege equipment with him this time.

Liaodong City is not low. The city wall is more than ten meters high. The outside is made of rocks and the inside is rammed earth. The wall has three floors, an arrow tower and a catapult.

According to the normal war process, there should be an exchange of envoys first, but neither side intends to do this, and there is no need for a feud.

Naturally, there are long-range weapons such as catapults and crossbows. Although the Bangzi Kingdom captured many craftsmen from the former Sui Dynasty, they were stupid and did not know how to treat these people well. They killed and enslaved many of them, so that Liaodong City

The defensive equipment has not changed much in the past few decades.

In fact, it's not that people with sticks don't know how to use them. Even people like Gao Jianwu have them. How could they not have any IQ? That's because they have an inferiority complex. As a small country, they seemed to have defeated the powerful Sui Dynasty. In fact, they

I know in my heart that I don't regard myself as a human being, and I only achieve the so-called victory by doing the shameless behavior of an animal.

Narrow-mindedness, low self-esteem, and an animal-like heart are all combined together to create a nation today that is arrogant and arrogant on the outside but dark, humble, treacherous and vicious on the inside.

Gao Jianwen looked at a large, roaring shield-like vehicle that exited the Tang Dynasty's military formation, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed.

He, Gao Jianwen, still didn't believe that the whole car could break through their Liaodong City. Gao Jianwen pointed to the city and said to his trusted generals: "If the Tang Dynasty can break through our city gate with the whole thing, I, Gao Jianwen, stand on my head and eat it myself."

.”

"Hahaha"

"Hey hey hey"

"The general said so, and we are willing to give it a try."

"Yes, the so-called Tang Dynasty is not the same as the Sui Dynasty."

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty couldn't defeat us with hundreds of thousands of people, and it's even less possible for them to have such a small number of people."

"Yeah, if I can break the city today, I'm willing to eat shit."

"I do too"

"together"

Everyone has known since ancient times: Don’t raise a flag, otherwise you will die quickly if you raise a flag.

At the foot of Liaodong City, at a distance of 300 meters, Gongsun Zan refurbished the small steel cannon escorted by Qingfeng, and got what looked like an armored vehicle at the door.

The so-called armored vehicle is a gun mount that is wrapped with several steel shields and made of steel frame and pushed by five horses.

The inner steel structure came from Wang Meng's help, and the outer iron sheet was from Gongsun Zan's crossbows and trebuchets used to defend Liaodong City.

I smashed this small steel cannon, which affected the progress of the siege.

The accompanying craftsmen adjusted the angle and stuffed the cannonball into the barrel under the supervision of Jin Yiwei.

"General is ready"

Gongsun Zan completely did not expect that Gao Jianwen and his group on the top of the city were cheating on food and drink, so he directly issued an order: "Fire, blow up their three gates, and let the soldiers rush in."

"promise"

"The general has the order, fire the artillery"

"boom"

I remembered the sound of a cannon, followed by a brief sound of piercing the air. Then the generals who had just been cheating and drinking with Gao Jianwen on the wall of Liaodong City felt a huge force appear beside them, and they

They pushed it into the sky.

Wow

A hole was blown open above the gate of the city wall of Liaodong City, and the rammed earth layer inside leaked out. The surrounding area was pitch black, and the armors and weapons of the soldiers guarding the city were turned into pieces.

what's the situation?

Gao Jianwen, who had just walked out of that section of the city wall, looked back and saw that the wall had been blown open, and he had no idea what had happened.

"Report to General Gongsun that the first shot was fired a little higher and the adjustment has been completed."

Gongsun Zan nodded: "Go on."

"promise"

The second shell is loaded in

"boom"

Most of the gate of Liaodong City was blown open. The bronze bars covering the gate were blown into several pieces. The bronze nails inside were also blown everywhere. A group of stick soldiers guarding the gate tower were blown away.

It was lucky that the fragments were concentrated and died on the spot. Those who were injured had either wooden thorns or bronze fragments and nails on their bodies, and the outcome was even worse.

When Gao Jianwen remembered the second cannon fire, he still didn't understand what happened. He heard his subordinate report: "General, there is a hole in the city gate."

Gao Jianwen grabbed his subordinate's collar and roared: "Why is this happening?"

"General, I don't know~!"

"boom"

Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of cannons, and the city gate that had been blown open was once again widened by cannonballs.

Inside, the injured soldiers who fell to the ground were hit by debris from the second explosion again, ending their pain.

Of course, things are not absolute. There are also unlucky sticks that are not dead yet. One unlucky stick was hit by the city gate when it exploded, and for the first time a nail was pierced into the chrysanthemum.

The miserable state was not over yet when the second explosion came again, and a wooden board completely drove in the nails that had only been partially driven in.

Blood and feces and urine flowed together, and the wailing sounds were released. He now regretted bullying those survivors of the former Sui Dynasty, and also regretted that he followed other sticks to humiliate those remains.

His misery did not end there.

The fourth artillery shell struck, directly destroying the last link of the city wall of Liaodong City Gate, and the few remaining city gates collapsed from the outside to the inside.

Gongsun Zan looked at the results of the battle, nodded with satisfaction and ordered the craftsman who fired the cannon: "Go on, attack their second city gate."
Chapter completed!
