Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 516 Building the Inner Wall

"General, those who came out just now seem to be the elite soldiers of the Goguryeo people. They wear different armors."

A sharp-eyed general immediately reported to Xue Li when he saw the Goguryeo soldiers protruding from the top of the city.

"I saw it too. By the way, send an order to stop the attack first, and it will not be too late to attack when you see a Goguryeo figure on the top of the city."

Xue Li knew that the Goguryeo people must have been frightened by the wave just now, and their elite soldiers had to finish playing. Because of the power of the gunpowder, those Goguryeo people would not dare to stay on the tower, so they don't have to waste Rocket up.

Each of the archers below the tower has more than 20 or nearly [-] rockets, and now they have fired more than half of them, so they can't waste it anymore.

The archers stopped attacking and began to rest under the tower. However, the heavy shield soldiers who had been supporting the big shield could not rest. They were responsible for the safety of the archers, so they must be on guard at all times to prevent the Goguryeo people on the top of the city from attacking. It's time to give them a shot.

Seeing this situation, Xue Li immediately sent some people up to start digging a trench in front of where the archers were.

If a trench can be dug, the work of the heavy shield soldiers can be saved, and it will save them so much effort, and it is not safe.

Dig a trench for the archers, they can nest in the trench when they are resting, it is very safe, even if they want to attack on the tower, they can't help them.

And this can also liberate those heavy shield soldiers so that they don't have to be so tired.

The soldiers of the Tang army started to move, and their movements went very smoothly. No matter how they did things outside the city, the soldiers of Goguryeo never showed up on the top of the city.

Because the Goguryeo people were in the city and were doing similar things with the soldiers of the Tang army. Unlike the Tang army's method of digging trenches, the Goguryeo people were working overtime behind the city wall to rebuild a new city wall.

Although it is impossible to be as tall and wide as the outer city wall, at least a miniature city wall must be used as the inner wall. Even if the Tang army breaks through the outer wall, they will not be fooled immediately.

Besides, they can't climb the outer wall at all now. As soon as someone goes up, the Tang Army archers outside will immediately launch rockets, blowing the Goguryeo people who go up into pieces of roast suckling pig.

Well, the broken roast suckling pig, this is described by the Goguryeo people themselves, because those charred pieces of flesh really look very much like a roast suckling pig.

Now the Goguryeo people are extremely afraid of the rockets of the Tang army. From the very beginning until now, the Tang army has fired [-] rounds of rockets, which means that the outer wall of the capital city of Goguryeo has been bombed [-] times, and the entire outer wall has been blown down. A height of two or three meters.

If this trend continues, after dozens of rounds of bombing, the entire outer wall will collapse sooner or later.

Therefore, the Goguryeo people gave up that outer wall very decisively, and instead used that outer wall to attract Tang Jun's rockets, constantly consuming the number of Tang Jun's rockets.

And they are working overtime to quickly build an inner wall in the outer city.

In order to be able to build the inner wall before the Tang army invaded, the Goguryeo people even ordered all males over the age of 13 in the city to participate in the construction of the inner wall.

As soon as the Emperor Goguryeo's edict came, the men of the entire Goguryeo capital began to take action, building inner walls day and night.

It is impossible for the actions of the Goguryeo people to hide from Tang Jun's eyes and ears. On the second day, Xue Li knew that the Goguryeo people built an inner wall inside the outer wall, and the outer wall was just what they used. It's just a place to consume Tang Jun's rockets.

After receiving the news, Xue Li immediately ordered the archers to stop attacking the capital of Goguryeo.

Don't look at the wave of attacks they had yesterday, which directly beat the Goguryeo people to the point of crying and calling their mothers to doubt their lives, but they also paid a lot of gunpowder and arrows for it.

Of the [-] rockets, [-] were shot on the first day, which is a total of [-] gunpowder bombs. This is not a small number, but this number is half of the gunpowder bombs that Tang Jun can use now.

Although Tang Jun is already stepping up the production of gunpowder and arrows, Xue Li doesn't want to waste it.

Good steel must be used wisely, so let's give up these rockets now, and they will definitely lose the chain at the critical moment.

Must be sparingly used.

However, although they are sparing, it does not mean that they just ignore the Goguryeo people who are building an inner wall in the city.

On the second day, Xue Li led a team of archers directly to make sure that there were no traces of Goguryeo people on the outer wall after a round of bombardment.

After confirming the safety of the outer wall, Xue Li immediately rushed to the outer wall of the capital city of Goguryeo with his personal guards and a team of archers.

Standing on the ruins of the outer wall, they could clearly see the inner wall being built in the capital city of Goguryeo.

"Sure enough, heh heh, don't be too polite, just shoot the rockets into the inner wall for me."

The Goguryeo people never expected that the Tang army would charge directly up the outer wall, and even if they thought about it, it would be useless. The round of rockets that Xue Li and the others fired before they rushed up was enough to smash all the Goguryeo soldiers on the outer wall into pieces. suckling pig.

At this time, the Goguryeo people who were building the inner wall were looking up at the soldiers of the Tang army on the outer wall in panic.

Except for a small number of Goguryeo soldiers who are responsible for defense and supervision, most of them are not wearing armor for the convenience of work. At this time, let alone the soldiers of the Tang Army shooting rockets, even ordinary arrows are It can cause them heavy casualties.

After receiving Xue Li's order, the soldiers of the Tang Army immediately drew their bows to the full, and then shot towards the inner wall built by the Goguryeo people.

Their wave was not only to shoot those Goguryeo people, but also to destroy the inner wall that the Goguryeo people had just built.

Thousands of rockets with gunpowder shells shot towards the two-meter-high inner wall that Goguryeo had just spent a day and a night rushing to build, and the Goguryeo soldiers and young and middle-aged people had not had time to run at all.

Now, what greeted them was Tang Jun's arrows, and what awaited them was the call of death.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Countless explosions sounded, and the inner wall that had just been built more than two meters high was immediately blown to pieces, and almost none of the Goguryeo people who were near the inner wall were spared.

The explosion of gunpowder bombs can take away the lives of some Goguryeo people, and it can also blow up the newly built inner wall to pieces, and those blasted stones and the like have also become killing tools.

Countless Goguryeo soldiers and civilians died unexpectedly.

However, it's not over yet!
