Li Ji is a veteran general. He has followed Li Shimin in the north and south for many years, and participated in the war between Xue Yantuo and the Turks.

It can be said that he has great achievements and rich experience.

So when he got the kerosene bombs, he didn't use them directly. Instead, he sent the shield soldiers and ladder trucks to move forward slowly.

Pretending to attack the city, the Goguryeo defenders immediately gathered on the city wall to prepare.

At this time, Li Ji ordered a volley of crossbows and trebuchets to hit the top of the city wall with unignited kerosene bombs.

Suddenly there were sounds of various bowstrings, and the sound of piercing the sky came from the sky. The soldiers guarding the city immediately took cover when they saw the arrow feathers in the sky.

"Bang~~~Bang~~~Bang~~~", the clay pot fell to pieces on the city wall and immediately shattered. The fragments exploded in all directions, and the sludge water inside also splashed everywhere.

It only took a moment for the second wave of attacks to come again,

"Bang~~~Bang~~~Bang~~"

At this time, the Goguryeo defenders realized something was wrong, and the general touched it with his hand and put it under his nose and smelled it.

"No, it's kerosene."

Before he finished speaking, the third wave of ignited kerosene bombs was shot up by the crossbow.

There was a "bang~~" deflagration. Anyone who has lit gasoline knows what deflagration is.

"Ah~~ah~~" screams sounded, and the fire oil splashed on many people was ignited.

"Bang~~~Bang~~~Bang~~~" The trebuchet was ready and also fired a bunch of kerosene bombs.

Whether these ignited kerosene bombs fall on the city wall or fall over the city wall into the city, they are a sea of ​​fire.

The sludge water splashing everywhere began to burn, and thick black smoke was emitted.

"Firefighting."

"It's out of water."

There was chaos in the city near the city wall, and smoke was billowing from the arrow tower. People kept running out of it.

On the third floor, many figures were shaking, mixed with screams, and many people jumped down from the building covered in fire.

In the distance, the soldiers of the Tang Army had already retreated because the general had ordered not to get closer and the thick smoke was poisonous.

So everyone was watching the excitement from a distance. Li Ji was riding on a war horse, admiring his masterpiece, nodding from time to time, or looking at where the fire was weak, and giving orders where to put it.

Li Daozong, who was standing on the high platform in the distance, looked as usual, with a slight smile, and kept nodding his head to express his satisfaction.

Only the two brothers who were sitting felt a little uncomfortable seeing such a tragic scene for the first time. Li Chengqian was a little better.

At least when he was a child, his father was still fighting everywhere. He grew up listening to his father's stories.

And Li Shen is a little flower living in a greenhouse. He has never seen such a burning scene.

Through the telescope, I saw that there were fires everywhere on both sides of the Wengcheng gate and the main city area, as well as on the arrow tower.

There was also thick smoke billowing inside the Wengcheng and the main city. Even from such a distance, Li Shen could faintly hear the screams of people being burned, which made people shudder.

Looking at the north and south directions of Wuliluo, you can also see black smoke rising. It seems that they have already taken action.

Soon the smoke became thicker and thicker, and the situation on the city wall could no longer be seen, only the light of fire could be seen.

"Uncle Emperor, do you think they will surrender?" Li Shenzhen asked honestly.

"Probably not. This time it was because of the suddenness. I estimate that at most a few thousand people were burned to death, maybe less than a thousand.

Next time I want to repeat the same trick, I'm afraid it won't have this effect. "Li Daozong judged.

"Then let's think of a way to scare them to death." Li Shen said, and then said to Xue Rengui behind him,

"Rengui, go and ask the guards to find a water source and fill all the remaining clay pots we have with water. No clear water, the turbid and black the better. Go ahead."

Li Shen was planning to do something different, substituting a weak point for a new one.

Li Daozong immediately knew what Li Shen meant after hearing this. He thought that this boy was too evil-minded. Although it was not a clever plan, small tricks could still have some effect.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and often a small error can lead to the failure of the entire battle.

After Li Shen finished his instructions, he took a telescope to observe the situation.

The burning time of crude oil is calculated based on the amount. If you put in so much this time, it won’t be completely burned in a while.

Tang Jun's morale has really increased this time. The more miserable the enemy's troops are, the happier they are.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Ji saw that the city wall was still burning, and immediately ordered people to rush to the bottom of the city wall with a trench-filling truck and start cleaning the fortifications in preparation for the siege that would take place later.

The engineering branch is also rapidly assembling wells (a siege equipment similar to a high platform on which archers can remotely suppress the city wall.)

Because the well is huge, it is dismantled and transported. At this time, when no one is around, we can start assembling it close to the city wall.

Dozens of people assembled one and soon seven or eight were assembled, and the ladder truck was slowly pushed over.

In less than half an hour, the fire began to slowly weaken, but the thick smoke was still there. Xue Rengui sent some water jars to the three parties.

Li Chengqian has received the battle report, and the three parties are assembling equipment, cleaning the fortifications, and preparing to attack the city.

Two quarters of an hour later, the fires in many places on the city wall had been extinguished.

"The ladder truck is immediately against the wall, and the sword and shield hand is ready to rush up. The well is moved forward. If it can be directly against the wall, be ready. When the horn is heard, attack the city immediately."

Li Ji issued the order to attack the city. Although there was still thick smoke on the city wall and there was still a little fire in some places, the opportunity could not be missed. If you did not get close at this time, you would not know how much it would cost to get close.

More than a dozen ladder trucks were pushed quickly close to the city wall, and only the sound of banging and banging could be heard.

"The Tang army is attacking the city, prepare."

Someone heard the sound inside the city wall. The smoke from burning crude oil was poisonous and very choking. Li Ji was waiting for the smoke to subside before going up.

A breeze blew by, also blowing the horn of war.

"Siege the city~~~" Li Ji gave the order.

"Woo~~~Woo~~~~"

"Kill," the sword and shield soldiers of the Tang army were all armored. Some were holding spears and knives hanging on their waists, and some were holding sickles.

Long weapons have the advantage of stabbing people when they are about to reach the top.

The sound of killings was everywhere, and the sound of drums was loud. Li Shen's move was actually very high. At least all the wooden equipment such as rolling logs and kerosene on the city wall were burned.

Goguryeo could only hit them with stones. Because the well was so close, the archers above shot with all their might.

Their purpose is very clear, that is, the people at the ladder crenel. As long as someone of their own can go up, they will have a chance.

People kept falling from the ladder, and others continued to go up.

The Tang Dynasty ladder car could accommodate two people walking side by side, so the chance was greater.

Li Ji looked at the situation on the field and found that it was very beneficial to his side. The local equipment was insufficient and it should be in the process of transportation.

"Send the order and throw the clay pot."

"Woooooo~~~~"

(I suddenly had an idea. If everyone clicks on a free gift, it will be 0.1 yuan. Doesn’t tens of thousands of people cost a few thousand yuan?

A few thousand a day, 10,000+ a month, and more than 100 million a year. Will I be able to have financial freedom? )
