Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

"Bang~"

The huge rock hit the city wall with a loud noise. In an instant, the broken rocks flew everywhere, making the nearby defenders and civilians scream.

"Gorissa, be careful!"

The commander of the South Gate was quick-witted and pulled Gao Changyi to the side of the city wall to hide him, and used his body to block the rubble for him.

"Dang Dang Dang~"

The gravel hit his tough armor, making a harsh metallic sound.

The commander of the South Gate saw another wave of huge rocks flying in the sky, and he quickly turned his head and yelled to the people around him.

"Everyone, don't stand in the middle of the city wall. Hurry and hide under the high wall to avoid being hit by the boulders!"

Hearing his words, the soldiers and civilians rushed to the corner of the wall, their faces full of panic.

The commander of the South City Gate said to Gao Changyi, "Gao Lisa, it's too dangerous on the city wall. I will escort you back to the City Lord's Mansion first!"

"it is good."

Gao Changyi nodded solemnly, but this time he did not insist.

Although the catapult was not accurate, the powerful destructive force it caused still frightened Gao Changyi, a member of the royal family with noble status.

After the second round of boulders fell, the commander of the South Gate quickly took Gao Changyi down from the city wall.

The Tang army's catapult stopped after throwing five rounds.

The soldiers and civilians hiding near the city wall waited for a long time but saw no movement, so they all stuck their heads out to the lookout to check.

The catapults on the other side of the moat did not move, and the Tang army did not attack the defenders guarding the moat.

"What is the Tang army doing?"

"Could it be that this is just a test and they will launch an attack later?"

Everyone looked at each other with a puzzled look on their faces.

The Tang army's actions were really weird.

The soldiers and civilians on the city wall waited anxiously until late at night, but the Tang army still did not launch an attack.

The nervous people on the city walls were already exhausted.

"General, when can we go back to bed?"

"It's so late, the Tang army shouldn't attack us, right?"

"I haven't used the toilet all day, and now I can't hold it in any longer!"

"I have been out for so long and I haven't prepared meals for my children. I don't know how hungry they are..."

Seeing the people full of complaints, the commander of the South Gate squinted his eyes and looked forward, then stood up and spoke loudly.

"Everyone, go back and rest first. Don't sleep too deeply tonight..."

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by countless loud crashes.

I saw waves of gravel flying towards me, hitting my body and causing pain.

Then, from the darkness beyond the fire, countless groans of pain were heard instantly.

"The Tang army is attacking!"

"Everyone, hide at the foot of the high wall!"

The city wall was instantly in chaos, with everyone pushing and shoving each other, scrambling to find a safe place to hide.

But after firing a few rounds, the Tang army stopped.

After an hour, when the soldiers and civilians were so tired that they wanted to go back to rest, the boulder fell again.

Because there were too few defenders in the city, the commander of the South Gate did not dare to let the people go back to rest, because he did not know when the Tang army would launch a large-scale attack.

In this way, the Tang army threw several rounds of huge stones onto the walls of Goguryeo every hour.

It lasted until after dawn.

"General, how about we go back and take a look?"

"I was so frightened all night that I couldn't stand it anymore."

The corners of the eyes of the civilians and soldiers were bloodshot, and their mental states were dazed.

The commander of the South Gate did not answer. He had a premonition that the Tang army's trebuchets would continue to throw boulders.

Sure enough, as soon as he thought of it, the familiar boulder appeared in the sky again.

"Enemy attack..."

Before he could finish his words, the people and soldiers had already taken shelter in a familiar manner.

After Tang Jun threw 5 rounds, he stopped again.

The commander of the South Gate looked at the pairs of tired eyes, pinched his brows helplessly, then stood up and spoke loudly.

"People, go back and rest first, and come back to defend the city in two hours."

When the people heard the news that they could finally go back, they were all excited and shouted in unison.

"Finally I can go back!"

This group of people were like a group of imprisoned wolves. After the order was given, they swarmed down the city wall towards various openings.

The commander of the South Gate said to the deputy commander beside him, "Send half of the men down to eat and rest, and then come back to take over in two hours."

"it is good."

The deputy general, looking tired, hurried down to make arrangements.

at the same time.

Two elite cavalry units of the Tang army, led by Li Daozon and Su Dingfang respectively, had crossed the Taizi River from the north and south sides of Liaodong City and circled around the east gate of Liaodong City.

Su Dingfang asked Xue Rengui to lead 500 elite cavalry to guard the east gate, while he and Li Daozon led their cavalry to attack two small cities within a hundred miles.

Now the army is preparing to attack Liaodong City. The area within a hundred miles outside Liaodong City is no longer considered the rear area.

Liaodong City.

It was quiet for another hour.

The guard at the South Gate was sitting with his back against the wall eating breakfast when he suddenly looked up as if he had something in mind.

I saw dozens of small black dots in the sky rapidly enlarged, and soon a small number of huge rocks fell on the city wall.

The guard at the South Gate raised his arms to block the flying debris and firmly protected the breakfast in his arms.

"Bah~"

He spat out the gravel from the corner of his mouth and continued eating.

"Woooooo~"

Suddenly, a huge and long horn sounded from the Tang army camp behind him.

Then, dense drum beats rang out quickly.

"Bang bang bang~"

This time, the catapult never stopped from the beginning, and countless huge rocks were flying in the sky.

"Oops!"

The commander of the South Gate quickly threw his breakfast aside, then hurriedly stood up to check.

On the edge of the moat, under the fierce bombardment of catapults and the cover of thousands of heavy infantry and archers holding shields.

Countless Tang soldiers carrying wood and bamboo rafts began to build a floating bridge over the moat.

The soldiers of Liaodong City defending the moat could not even lift their arms under the fierce attack of the Tang army, let alone stop the Tang army from building a pontoon bridge.

"Hurry up and beat the drum to sound the alarm! This time the Tang army is really launching an all-out attack!"

"Immediately notify the soldiers and civilians who are resting and ask them to come back and help defend the city."

The guard at the South Gate turned pale with fear, and his voice became hoarse as he spoke.

Several guards around him quickly clasped their fists and saluted.

"General, we'll go now."

Then they ran towards the city while dodging the huge rocks from the sky.

Not long after, soldiers from the other three city gates also came running to report.

"Report to the general, the Tang army is now attacking the north gate, requesting support!"

"The Tang army at the South Gate is about to build a floating bridge. If we don't send people over to help, we brothers will not be able to hold on!"

The defenders of the South Gate had expected the other two city gates to be attacked fiercely by the Tang army, but what another person said made them nervous.

"General, hundreds of Tang cavalry appeared outside the East City Gate!"
