A grassland nation is absolutely envious of the wealth of the Central Plains.
Accompanied by the massacre of many common people in the Central Plains, and the destruction of each family.
Whoosh whoosh!
One after another, fierce sharp arrows slammed into the soldiers of Gaoguli.
There are more than 200 ballistas, which can fire more than 2000 thick crossbow bolts when firing in salvo.
The lethality is absolutely shocking.
Puff puff!
5000 Gaoguli iron cavalry, fearless of life and death, marched forward bravely towards the front of the Tang Emperor's army.
A large piece fell down.
There was a blank space in the formation of Gaogouli Iron Cavalry.
"Archers, shoot!"
Qin Li shouted loudly.
Whoosh whoosh!
Ten thousand archers shoot in three stages.
More than 3000 sharp arrows flew into the air at one time, and suddenly, a rain of arrows formed in the air, falling one after another, and smashed hard on the head of the Gaoguli Iron Cavalry.
Three-stage shooting, basically no pause in the middle.
The continuous rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun.
The devastated Koguryo people were devastated.
One by one the Gaoguli iron cavalry fell, and one by one the war horses were shot to death.
People turned their backs on their backs, and the Gaogouli cavalry formation was extremely chaotic.
Countless Gaogouli cavalry fell off their horses, and the next moment they were trampled by their comrades behind, turning into a puddle of flesh.
Miserable!
Ah!
There were endless screams on the battlefield.
Clang!
Du He saw through the telescope that Koguryo closed the city gate.
I was taken aback for a moment!
So decisive!
Worried that the Tang emperor's army would snatch the city gate, they completely locked the Gaoguli iron cavalry who went out to fight outside the city, and ignored their life and death.
Damn!
Too cold-blooded!
Those soldiers were fighting for the king and were ruthlessly abandoned.
For soldiers, no matter whether it is the king or the high-ranking officials in Pingyang City, no one cares about their death.
In the eyes of the king and high officials, the death of a soldier is like the death of an ant.
kill!
Yuchi Baolin roared angrily.
3000 heavy infantry formed the Xiaoliuhua Formation, raised their Tang swords one after another, and descended towards the galloping Gaoguli iron cavalry.
Puff puff!
Under the slashing and killing of the heavy infantry, no matter whether it was a horse or a soldier, it was completely broken.
Streams of blood essence and horse blood shot into the air, shining brilliantly under the sunlight.
Bright and alluring.
Kill enemies efficiently!
One knife works, no need to make up the knife.
A Koguryo knight broke through the rain of arrows and was about to jump in front of the heavy infantry.
puff!
The archer shot an arrow without hesitation and hit his chest.
brush!
With a Tang knife down, the horse's head flew into the air.
Another gust of blood sprayed out, spraying a heavy infantry all over his head and face.
A short distance of more than 200 steps has become the death line for Koguryo soldiers.
On the city wall, Gao Jianwu saw a Koguryo soldier fall down, his heart was bleeding.
That is the most powerful cavalry in Gaoguli!
Hang up one by one.
The 5000 iron cavalry who went out to fight in the city did not achieve any effect, and the soldiers of the Tang Emperor Army were still digging.
Failed!
Gao Jianwu felt that it was a big loss and he should not send troops out of the city to fight.
The point is, 5000 iron cavalry left the city without even harassing them, so it's no wonder they weren't angry.
The logistics soldiers of the Tang Emperor's army were not affected by it, and they were still digging and mounding soil.
The logistics soldiers have long been used to this kind of soil work.
When the Tang Emperor's army attacked Wandu Mountain City, the logistics soldiers experienced it.
Puff puff!
A Gaogouli Iron Rider fell off his horse and was trampled on again. After a while, he died beyond death.
Under the resistance of the ballista and archers of the Tang Emperor's army, even if they reached the front of the formation, they would still face the resistance of heavy infantry and light infantry.
The people of Gaoguli have nothing to do.
I can only watch helplessly as the soldiers of the imperial army fill the pile of soil.
The king of Koguryo and the generals on the city wall sighed when they saw that the Tang Emperor's army was too strong.
In half an hour, all the 5000 Koguryo cavalry who went out to fight in the city were dead.
The imperial army did not leave any survivors, and all of them were killed.
The empire carried out earthworks in an orderly manner.
An imperial soldier holding a white flag walked slowly to the front of the city gate.
"Listen up, King Gaoguli, our general said, if you are sensible, open the city gate and surrender, and the imperial army will spare your dog's life.
Otherwise, once the city is breached, no mercy will be given.Whether it is life or death, the king must consider it clearly.Other high-ranking Koguryo officials,
If you want to survive, open the city gate and surrender quickly. After passing this shop, there will be no more temples, so you must seize the opportunity. "
After speaking, the soldiers of the imperial army retreated quickly.
On the city wall:
The king of Koguryo was tangled up again.
Will the imperial army really leave a lonely life?
Facing the moment of the country's demise, Gao Jianwu was terrified.
In the choice between life and death, no one will choose death.
Ants are kind and stealthy.
Other high-ranking officials of Gaoguli on the city wall also made small calculations and looked at Gao Jianwu.
"General, spreading a word will not affect Gaogouli, and the other party will not open the city gate to surrender, after all. We are here to destroy the country."
A pro-guard said.
Ha ha!
"This general never thought of Gaogouli's surrender. It just created a gap between the soldiers and courtiers on the city wall and Gao Jianwu."
Doo Ho said.
It is impossible to make King Gaoguli surrender with one sentence.
Anyway, Gaogouli has had glory and glory.
As it is, surrender saves lives.
Regardless of high-ranking officials or soldiers, as long as they lay down their weapons, Du He will not kill them, and they will become a large construction army.
As for the king?
Give it to Li Er, and Li Er will handle it.
After all, Gao Jianwu is the king of a country, and Li Er will not kill him easily, nor will he release him.
For the empire, raising a subjugated king is more effective than killing it.
One is to reflect the benevolence and tolerance of the empire, and the other is to deter neighboring small countries.
Without the harassment of the Gaoguli people, the imperial army's logistics soldiers dug the soil extremely fast, and within an hour, the soil was piled up several meters high.
"General, does the battlefield need to be cleaned?"
Qin Li asked.
Cleaning up the battlefield at this time is very troublesome, and there may be casualties.
However, the weather is too hot, and if it is not cleaned, it is easy to cause plague.
"The archers cover, let the soldiers quickly bury the corpse, don't let it be exposed outside, so as not to cause plague."
Duhe ordered.
"As ordered!"
The next moment, under Qin Li's command, rows of archers stepped forward and started shooting at the city wall.
Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows rained all over the sky above the city wall.
A piece of black.
Puff puff!
Although the Gaogouli soldiers on the city wall quickly evaded, many soldiers still suffered and fell down from the arrows.
Ah!
On the city wall, Koguryo soldiers ran and ran around.
In a mess!
Shouts resounded through the sky.
On the ground, the imperial infantry quickly ran to the battlefield, collected the corpses one by one, and dragged them away from the battlefield to bury them.
The Gaoguli people also wanted to fight back, but the Tang Emperor's army rained too many arrows, and it was difficult to lift their heads. How to fight back.
shooting!
Fight back!
Gao Jianwu yelled loudly.
The problem is that the archers of the Tang Emperor Army are 150 steps away from the city wall, and the range of the Gaoguli archers is not enough!
