Chapter 97 The Battle of Pyongyang (2)

It was just a round of spirit stone fireball bombing, and more than a hundred spirit stones fell on the top of the city. Because of its excellent accuracy and incredible lethality, at least thousands of soldiers guarding the city died!

The injured are several times more than this, most of them are seriously injured, because as long as they are pierced by flying stones, they will basically lose their combat ability. Among them, there are a large number of low-level qi-training cultivators who are the backbone of defending the city!

The female wall also suffered a certain degree of damage, and large gaps in the door appeared one after another.

This is just a casualty from a city wall!

Accompanied by the howling sound of the strong wind, the Tang army's second round of spirit stone fireballs rose up in the air and fell down in a destructive manner.

The soldiers guarding the city who had been fighting spirit and full of confidence on the front of the city, after a round of violent bombing that they had never encountered before, not only many of them turned into corpses, but thousands of people were lying in pools of blood, and even the soldiers who had not been bombarded had their minds blank and were too stunned to be fierce. They either stood there in a daze or ran away with their heads in their arms when a new round of spirit stones attacked.

Shin Chongqian had never experienced such a battle. He stood there in a daze, looking at the miserable appearance at the city wall, his face full of disbelief.

Facing such an offensive, Pei Xuanqing, whose expression changed drastically, was shocked and shouted madly: "Intercept the 'Flint', intercept the 'Flint'! All the realm of real people are taking action! No, the Qi training high school must also take action!"

The defense line of Pyongyang City concentrated the essence of the Goguryeo army. There were more than 40 people in the real world, hundreds of people in the high-level Qi training stage, and nearly 10,000 Qi training monks. Such a huge force is the basis for Gongzi, Pei Xuanqing and others to be confident that they can defeat the Tang army.

The spirit stone fireball came very fast, not comparable to ordinary huge rocks. In a hurry, less than 20% of the spirit fireballs fell in the second round were intercepted, and many of them were destroyed by the monks when they were about to land on the top of the city. The exploded flying stones still caused a bloody storm on the top of the city.

After the first round of bombing, the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were already in a certain degree of chaos. Although there were fewer spirit stone fireballs falling this time, the damage caused was not reduced at all!

Pei Xuanqing was so angry that his eyes were about to fall out.

The buzzing third round of spirit stone fireballs followed!

Pei Xuanqing took a bold move and intercepted three nearby spirit stone fireballs. With his cultivation strength, it was not difficult. But he also felt that the power of a spirit stone fireball when it exploded was equivalent to a full-strength attack from a high-level Qi training cultivator. Such extraordinary power made his scalp numb.

Fortunately, the Goguryeo army also experienced many wars, and ordinary soldiers could not face such a powerful force. However, the high-level Qi training stage, especially the real-life cultivator, reacted, and immediately made most of the third round of fireball blocked.

The remaining twenty or thirty fireballs fell on the top of the city. Although they were still extremely lethal, they were no longer so terrifying.

Pei Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and felt nervous. The Tang Dynasty was so terrifying that it actually built such a terrifying thing and such a large-scale destructive magic weapon, which was really trembling on the battlefield!

"Fortunately, I reacted in time. There are many high-level cultivators in the city who practice Qi. The next round of spirit stone fireballs should not be too threatening..."

Pei Xuanqing was thinking this way, and suddenly heard Shin Chongqian's panic scream: "Look at General!"

Pei Xuanqing was observing the battlefield at the city and evaluating the degree of loss of soldiers. He suddenly heard Shen Chongqian's shouts. When he looked back at the outside of the city, his heart that had just stabilized suddenly reached his throat!

The Tang army's catapult did not continue to show its power, but an endless dark cloud flew out from the Tang army's formation!

Of course it is not a real dark cloud, it is a rain of arrows!

No, it’s not a rain of arrows, it’s a powerful crossbow and crossbow!

Extraordinary crossbow arrow!

Each crossbow arrow flashed with spiritual light, connecting it into a terrifying sound!

"It's another magic weapon? Magic crossbow?! Magic crossbow?!" Pei Xuanqing couldn't help it again this time. Not only did he wail in his heart, he shouted in panic!

There are countless crossbow arrows, and there are countless crossbow arrows. Even if there is a real person realm, a high-level qi-training cultivator cannot intercept it!

Dark clouds fell on the top of the city.

After the bombardment of the spirit stone fireball, the curtain on the city was gone, and it became a burning "paper" scattered everywhere. The magic weapon crossbows and arrows were no longer obstructed. The sight was also amazing, and most of them accurately covered the city!

In an instant, the soldiers on the city wall were hit hard when they encountered a mountain torrent.

What they encountered was indeed a mountain torrent, not a heavy rain. Because it was a magic weapon, crossbow arrow, it was amazingly powerful, not to mention that it was easy to break armor. After shooting a person, it could penetrate the armor behind him and then nail it to the wall.

Not only did the soldiers guarding the city suffer heavy casualties, but the death was extremely miserable.

A team was looking at the big shield held high in their hands, and then at the crossbow arrows that were sank into their chests, his eyes full of confusion and despair. He could not understand until his death why the crossbow arrows of the Tang army were so strong. It would be fine if they could penetrate the big shields at a long range, but they could still shoot through their armor after they penetrated the big shields and penetrated their bodies!

This...unreasonable...

How to prevent such crossbow arrows? What is the meaning of shields and armor?

The magic weapon was slaughtered, but the magic weapon crossbow was exerting its even more terrifying power. The city of Pyongyang was completely in chaos. In a very short time, the bodies were filled with horse paths, as if they were not humans, but weeds, and it was too easy to die.

Seeing that the Tang army's crossbows had no end, wave after wave, Pei Xuanqing's heart beat like a drum, his eyes were so angry that he was about to burst, as if blood and tears were about to flow down!

"Why is the Tang army's offensive... so unreasonable? What are these? How can we defend such a powerful catapult and strong crossbow? How can we continue to stand on the top of the city?" Shen Chongqian intercepted the crossbow arrow in front of him, his voice so sad that he could not express his words.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Tang army had only 100,000 people and dared to attack Goguryeo!

In the middle of the battle, all the soldiers guarding the city at the top of the city were killed and injured. Together with the three walls, more than 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers were killed in battle and tens of thousands of injured. The Tang army's magic weapon crossbows seemed to have no end. Even if they had 300,000 soldiers, how could they withstand such massacre?

"Retreat! Retreat! Go down the city wall!" Pei Xuanqing looked at the scattered soldiers on the city wall, his eyes as red as blood, and his teeth were about to be bitten.

He had to issue such an order.

The Tang army's long-range attack methods were too explosive, and they could not cope with it. Staying at the top of the city was to get killed, and they had to go down to the city wall to avoid it first.

Pei Xuanqing wanted to retreat, but the Tang army did not intend to let them retreat so easily.

"General! The Tang army has begun to take over the city!" A general pointed outside the city and shouted in panic.

Pei Xuanqing held the female wall and looked out. The Tang army infantry formation held high a large shield, carrying a stacked bridge, a ladder, and a nest cart. They had already begun to rush towards the city wall. Although their speed was not fast, they were definitely not slow, and the formation was extremely neat. As they entered the wall, each soldier was protected by the large shield.

There is a moat outside the city, deep and wide, and there are few Tang soldiers. It will inevitably take a lot of time to fill the moat. This time was originally a time when the city was leveraging the advantages of strong bows and crossbows and made them pay a heavy price, but now...

In the Tang army formation, dark cloud-like rain of arrows continued to scatter on the top of the city, and people could no longer stand on the top of the city.

Compared with ordinary powerful crossbows, the magic weapon has a longer range, better sight and greater lethality, which makes the Tang army completely unreasonable attacks.

Moreover, what the Tang army carried was not a sack, but a bridge stack. Pei Xuanqing could not understand where they were. They did not intend to fill the moat, but planned to build a bridge and pass directly and quickly catch the city!

Pei Xuanqing's face changed rapidly, and it was extremely exciting.

If it was normal... forget it, it was not the usual thing now, what's the point of thinking about these things!

"General... can't you defend the city?" The general swallowed his saliva with difficulty and asked tentatively. He felt that it was ridiculous. It took less than half an hour since the war started, and the Goguryeo defender who was waiting for him could no longer defend the city!

Is there such a war in the world?

Their city defense is very tight, all kinds of city guarding equipment are complete, there is enough manpower, and the city wall is high enough... But no matter how good these things are, what's the use of people on the city wall?

Under normal circumstances, no matter how strong the siege rain is, most of the arrows cannot accurately land on the horse road at the top of the city. Even if it falls, the defending party will rely on the female wall, shields, and armor to protect it, and the losses will not be great. When the siege is close to the city, they will be condescending, and they will still fight as much as they want.

But now...

Before this battle, not to mention the ordinary generals, even Pei Xuanqing and Shen Chongqian had no idea that the Tang army was equipped with such powerful magic weapon catapults, magic weapon and crossbows, and there were so many!

The female wall was knocked down by a spirit stone fireball and was penetrated by a magic weapon and crossbow. The shield and armor could not block the crossbow arrow at all. The key is that the Tang army's crossbow formation was still far away, and the ordinary powerful crossbows on the top of the city could not touch the opponent at all, and could only be beaten passively!

This battle to defend the city cannot be carried out at all!

The Tang Dynasty was so strong?

Pei Xuanqing's heart was trembling.

"The elite cavalry gathers together and go out of the city to fight!" Pei Xuanqing clenched his fists and issued an order to fight.

The city can no longer stand. If the Tang army attacks the city and attacks directly into the city, morale will collapse in an instant - after all, the war has only been less than half an hour, and in that case, the street fighting will not be carried out, and Pyongyang City will not be able to defend!

For the current plan, we can only use our military strength advantages and go out of the city to fight with the Tang army in close combat! As long as the two sides are mixed together, the Tang army's powerful crossbow formation will not be able to exert its power.

"Tell us the command of the left and right Acropolis to mobilize elite troops to attack and cooperate with the main city's battle!"

Pei Xuanqing walked down the corridor, stepped onto the war horse, took a deep breath, and in order to ensure his safety, he turned around and ordered again: "After the cavalry left the city, the infantry must be ready to follow up at any time. In today's battle, there is no reason to be avoided if he fights head-on with the Tang army! All the officials, serve the country and make achievements, it's time!"

When the generals heard this, they all agreed loudly.

Passively being beaten on the top of the city was too frustrating. Tens of thousands of people were killed or injured in a very short period of time, which made people feel like fighting. Now that they can go out of the city to fight head-on with the Tang army, they, as elites, soon regained their fighting spirit.

On the commanding platform of the Tang army formation, Zhao Polu saw several city gates open at the same time, and the cavalry like a torrent of iron armor rushed out of it. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he clasped his fists and said to Li Ye: "Your Majesty, the Goryeo army is out!"
