Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 512
The first batch of rockets were ready soon, and Xue Li immediately got a group of archers to experiment.

Although the rocket is ready, it mainly depends on whether the archers can control him. If the finished archers can't use it, then their work is in vain.

However, the results of the experiment satisfied Xue Li. Although in the first round, the archers did not have a good grasp of the target, and many rockets missed or the range was too short, but the experienced archers were able to shoot in the second round. Much better when shooting rounds.

This means that attaching a gunpowder bomb to the back of the arrow does not have a particularly large impact on the arrow, as long as the archers get used to it, it will be the same.

However, the shooting range will definitely be affected. In the second round of shooting, most of the rockets had only [-]% of the range of the arrows, but Xue Li was already very satisfied.

This is only the second round of shooting, and they still have room for improvement. Just now, some people shot [-]% to [-]% of the range of the arrow. Although that is only a very small number, after all, you are also hoping, which is the direction of their efforts.

Now that the rocket method was feasible, and the test was basically passed, Xue Li immediately ordered the army to start mass-producing rockets, and at the same time, a large number of gunpowder bombs were transported from the territory of Datang.

Rockets need a lot of gunpowder, and they are likely to fight a war of attrition next. Without a lot of gunpowder, their rocket tactics will not work.

Now Tang Jun is continuing to experiment, so that Tang Jun's archers are familiar with how to use rockets.On the other side, a large number of rockets began to be manufactured for use in sieges.

But now there are not so many rockets for the archers to use, so Xue Li asked the archers to tie a small stone about the same weight as the gunpowder shell on the tail of the arrow. Let the soldiers become familiar with the usage of this rocket as soon as possible without wasting gunpowder.

The barracks of the Tang army are already busy making rockets, and they have no time to attack the capital of the Goguryeo people. They continue to surround them instead of attacking them.

Although the Goguryeo people didn't know what kind of tricks Tang Jun was playing, they knew that the more they dragged on, the better it would be for them.

After a long time, Tang Jun's supplies and other aspects could not keep up, and they would have to withdraw their troops at that time.

And the longer the time drags on, the more irritable the Goguryeo people will be. No one wants to always have such a strong army staying on their own land. At that time, many Goguryeo people will voluntarily rise up to fight against the Tang army.

If the Tang army does not attack, the Goguryeo people will stick to it and continue to spend with you.

It's a pity that what the Goguryeo people don't know is that in a few days, they will not have such a leisurely life.

Three days later, Xue Li ordered Tang Jun to make the first batch of rockets. A total of [-] arrows tied with gunpowder shells were gently placed in Tang Jun's barracks.

The next day, Xue Li couldn't wait to test the power of these rockets to see what kind of damage they could bring to the capital of the Goguryeo people.

Now they have [-] rockets, and the soldiers are still making arrows and rockets, and the gunpowder is also being transported here, and they can still produce a lot of rockets every day.

"Try it, I can't wait."

Xue Li thought about it and immediately gave the order to attack the next day.

Of course, he can only give orders to his vanguard, but he can ask other generals for help.

After a long attack without success, the generals of the Tang Dynasty were scratching their heads one by one. Now that Xue Li wants to take the initiative to attack, they must have raised their hands and feet in favor of it. It is only natural to send troops to help. of.

After a period of calm in the capital city of Goguryeo, it is finally about to usher in the attack of the Tang army again.

Early in the morning, the Goguryeo people saw a large number of Tang troops gathering on the top of the city, and they knew that the Tang army must make a big move today.

Countless Goguryeo soldiers shouted and rushed to the top of the city. The Tang army outside the city was a bit aggressive, which made them have to raise their vigilance. It will be winter in another month, and the Tang army will definitely step up their attacks in the next few days. They We cannot relax at this time.

As long as this month is over, after entering the severe winter, if those Tang troops don't withdraw their troops, then they will die.

Goguryeo soldiers crowded the city walls, and all kinds of defense equipment were also placed on the walls. As long as the Tang army dared to approach, they would greet them unceremoniously.

But this time Tang Jun's attack was different from every previous one.

In the past, in order to attack the city as soon as possible, the Tang army almost all went into battle lightly, and there were very few units such as heavy infantry on the battlefield.

But this time the Tang army lined up the formation, leading the way with heavy shield soldiers.

"These Tang troops don't want to attack anymore? Can heavy shield soldiers and heavy infantry climb to the top of our city?"

Some Goguryeo soldiers taunted on the top of the city, and the heads of these generals of the Tang army were simply flooded.

Although the heavy infantry and heavy shield soldiers have strong defensive capabilities, they move very slowly. If these people are sent to attack the city, aren't they just shooting the Goguryeo people on the top of the city as targets.

"Come, come, everyone, don't be too polite, let's see whether their large shields and heavy armors are stronger in defense, or our crossbows are stronger in attack."

The Goguryeo soldiers were still booing, but when the booing returned, the Goguryeo generals gave a look, and the soldiers immediately equipped the guys in their hands. As long as the Tang troops entered the attack range, they would attack them without hesitation.

Tang Jun's offensive formation is a bit weird, but Xue Li has high hopes for them.

The heavy shield soldiers held large shields in front, and they were able to block arrows and other objects shot down from the capital city of Goguryeo.

And their main attackers, archers, followed the heavy shield soldiers one by one, and each team of heavy shield soldiers was followed by a group of archers.

The heavy armored infantry preparing to be at the back is not for attacking the city. If the rockets can cause chaos at the top of the Goguryeo capital, then these heavy armored infantry will directly attack the city gate.

In other words, this group of heavy armored infantry will only go up when they are sure to take down the city wall.

Although they don't know how to go up now, isn't it great to show their grandeur? At least it can scare the Goguryeo people in the city and give them an illusion.

Besides, if these rockets directly confuse the Goguryeo people, the Tang army will be able to cover up and enter the city by taking advantage of the situation. If they only think about summoning heavy armored infantry at that time, they will miss the opportunity.
