The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 175 Gao Yanyou

"Cao Cao? I'll let him take advantage of it, ha ha." Xu Shu suddenly smiled, his eyes full of brilliance.

. . . . . . . . . .

Xuantu County, outside Gaoxian City.

"Let's start." Goguryeo's mountain king Gao Yanyou said lightly to his son beside him.

"Yes, father." The son of Gaoshan King Gao Yanyou and his most satisfied successor, the future Dongchuan King Gaoyou was in the position.

"Attack!" Gao Youwei followed the mountain king Gao Yanyou, and after listening to Gao Yanyou's order, pointed the sword in his hand at Gao Xiancheng.

"kill!"

Goguryeo General Wu Yu raised the wolf-headed machete in his hand, and rushed to Gaoxian City with [-] infantry.

Goguryeo's soldiers were wearing dark green cloth clothes, holding halberds like those of the Han army, and carrying the climbing ladders in a team of ten, they rushed towards Gaoxian City densely.

Although Goguryeo is a foreign race in the north, its national physique and lifestyle are very familiar with the big Han.

The ancestor of Goguryeo, Ju Mong, changed Goguryeo's original tribal system into a prefecture and county system, establishing a centralized power like that of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that Goguryeo has always been independent of the big man, and has robbed the big man all the year round, so it is not accepted by the big man, and the others are no different from the big man.

Goguryeo is also the most powerful of the three northern tribes, because Goguryeo has achieved complete internal unity and will not attack each other, with the King of Goguryeo as the sole regime.

"Catapult, launch!" On Gaoxian City, Xu Huang looked coldly at the ants-like Goguryeo army below the city.

"spray!"

"Spray..."

Following Xu Huang's military order, thirty huge catapults behind the city wall threw the boulders that had been prepared outside the city.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"what!"

"Help!"

As the boulder fell on the Goguryeo army rushing towards Gaoxian City, the screams resounded throughout the audience, and the formation of the Goguryeo army was instantly in chaos.

"Come on!" Wu Yu didn't expect that the defenders in Gaoxian City would have such terrifying catapults, and there were so many of them.

But he was not afraid, but took the lead and continued to rush towards Gaoxian City. The terrified Goguryeo soldiers behind him saw Wuyu's bravery, so they rushed forward.

"Hmph! The catapult adjusts its throwing distance and continues to shoot." Xu Huang snorted coldly and ordered the catapult to continue attacking.

"Boom!..."

Countless boulders flew out of the city wall and hit the Goguryeo army, taking away nearly a hundred Goguryeo soldiers.

The damage effect of the catapult is not very obvious, and the main function is deterrence and intimidation.

Just imagine how many people are not afraid when boulders fall from the sky at any time.

After several rounds of catapults were fired, the Goguryeo army rushed to the foot of Gaoxian City, and the catapults were useless because the catapults could not attack the area under the city tower.

"Archer, shoot!"

"Lei Shi, the Log is ready!"

Xu Huang issued orders one by one, and the archers on the city stepped forward and began to shoot arrows at the Goguryeo soldiers below the city.

"Chirp...!"

"what!"

"rush!"

As the archers shot their feathers and arrows at the Goguryeo soldiers in pieces, the screams came again.

This time is not like the attack of the catapult. The catapult is powerful, but the number is small, the attack range is small, and the damage is low.

If there are hundreds of catapults, a volley can make [-] Goguryeo soldiers lose their combat effectiveness. No one dares to attack with huge boulders under the rain. That is not a siege, but courting death.

Unfortunately, the manufacture of catapults is not easy and expensive, and transportation is also a big problem.

Although Liu Bei transported all the catapults in Qingzhou to Youzhou, but to support some of them to Macheng, Rangping City also needed some. It was Chen Ziming's special arrangement to get so many catapults here in Gaoxian City.

There are not many catapults, but archers are different.

The densely packed archers on the city wall are numb to look at, how can they attack the city.

The most important thing is that the bows and arrows prepared by Liu Beijun are all specially made, and they are definitely the most advanced bows and arrows in this era.

Light and flexible, powerful, accurate, and the feather arrows are the best and most advanced, let alone wearing ordinary cloth, even a slightly thinner armor may not be able to defend against it.

"Quick, give it to me!"

The soldiers around him fell down one by one, and many of them were wailing on the ground, and the Goguryeo general became anxious.

"clang!"

Wu Yu swung the broadsword horizontally, blocking the feathered arrow that shot at his chest.

"Quickly, set up the ladder and attack!"

Wu Yu yelled, commanding teams of soldiers to set up the high ladders for climbing the city, and one by one the Goguryeo soldiers began to climb up the ladders.

"Throw stones!" Although the archers kept shooting down the Goguryeo soldiers on the high ladders climbing the city, they couldn't hold back the crowd, and there were always fish that slipped through the net. Xu Huang saw that the Goguryeo soldiers were climbing up the city wall quickly, and ordered to start throwing stones .

Boulders were thrown from top to bottom at the Goguryeo soldiers on the ladder, and the effect appeared immediately.

The Goguryeo soldiers on the entire ladder were hit by the stone and all fell down.

"Attack again, keep attacking me!" Wu Yu slammed the Goguryeo soldier who had collapsed at his feet in panic, and roared loudly.

"Hmph! Keep shooting. What I have are feathered arrows." Seeing that Goguryeo did not give up, Xu Huang ordered the archers to continue shooting in a cold voice.

"Let's withdraw." Among the Goguryeo army, on the high platform, Wang Gaoyanyou on the mountain and many high-level Goguryeo generals watched the entire siege process, and coldly ordered the withdrawal.

The faces of all the generals on the high platform were ashen, and no one said anything, but they probably had hundreds of thousands of Cao Nima running in their hearts.

Such a formidable city defense, no matter how they attack it, how many soldiers will have to die to attack it.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

Soon, the sharp sound of Jin Ming came from the Goguryeo army behind.

"Retreat!" Hearing the retreat order, Wu Yu heaved a sigh of relief, it was really torturous here.

Here and there is a siege, and it is completely standing here as a target for the defenders on the tower.

So far, the [-] army has lost [-], but they haven't even climbed the city wall.

Although Wu Yu also knew that they were only here to test the defense situation in Gaoxian City, but the loss was too great.

"withdraw!"

"Come on!"

After giving an order to retreat, the Goguryeo soldiers who were still able to run dropped the high ladders in their hands, turned around and ran, and some soldiers even threw away their weapons and ran desperately.

As for those Goguryeo soldiers who were injured and survived, screaming for help underground, none of their comrades in arms were willing to risk their lives to stop and hold hands.

"Oh!!!"

Goguryeo siege soldiers retreated, and the defenders cheered loudly on the tower.

"General, the Goguryeo army has retreated. It seems that there will be no more attacking the city today." A young lieutenant next to Xu Huangsheng told Xu Huang immediately when he saw the King Goguryeo leading the army to retreat.
