: Brave and Fierce

The Sui army's ten thousand arrows were shot at the Goguryeo people off guard. They did not expect that the Sui army would have such a luxurious ten thousand arrows. The soldiers guarding the city suffered numerous casualties in one go, and hundreds of casualties were killed in a short time.

When Gao Jianwu came, he had to demolish the door panel and put it on the top of the city. As soon as he reached the top of the city, Gao Jianwu felt shocked. Although the Sui army had also siege every day and even carried out several large-scale sieges, it was never as large as today, especially the various tall siege equipment below that he had never seen before.

At this time, the Sui army had rushed under the city wall under the cover of arrow rain, and the first infantry arrived had already begun to set up ladders to start climbing.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!" Gao Jianwu shouted loudly. If this continues, the Sui army will not take long before it will attack the city wall, and it will be troublesome at that time.

When the defenders saw King Rongliu also climbing up the city wall, they felt their morale boosted for a moment. With the shouts of generals at all levels, they were busy grouping together in groups, one holding a shield and the other shooting arrows. Although many Goguryeo soldiers were still caught and fell down, they were much better than the original one.

"Gao Ming, hurry up and go to the east, south and north three gates to pass my orders, and draw another 10,000 people from each gate to the west city. Go quickly. The main force of the Sui army's attack this time is in the west city. As long as we defend the west city, we can defend the city today."

Although Liaodong City is the most powerful city in Goguryeo, it was surrounded by the Sui army twice, and this time it has been surrounded for nearly a month. Originally, there were more than 100,000 people in the city, but when the Sui army arrived, it annihilated 30,000 of them in the Liaohe River. The siege in this month has caused the city to lose troops and generals. In one month, nearly 30,000 soldiers in the city have been injured and killed, and now there are only 40,000 soldiers in the city.

Only these 40,000 people were still able to defend four cities. When the scale of the Sui army's siege in the past, the Goguryeo people defended it every time because of the strong mountain city. And sometimes when the siege was not very strong, they could divide the soldiers into two teams and take turns to rest.

However, with the scale of the Sui army today, Gao Jianwu suddenly felt the strength of the defending troops. This was just the first wave of bow and arrow attacks, but it already put him in a heavy pressure. Although he didn't know how the tall siege equipment behind the Sui army was used, he had already felt a deep crisis. Is Liaodong City going to fall today?

Although the Goguryeo people also began to counterattack the Sui army with bows and arrows, their archers were completely incomparable to the Sui army. Although the sparse rain of arrows also caused the attacking infantry to fall to the ground, for the soldiers who were siegeing the city, they seemed to be like they didn't see it, holding shields and carrying the feathers of the Goguryeo people to rush to the city wall.

At the cavalry position in the Pojun Camp, Chen Kefu and other generals stood in front of the formation and looked at the battle in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel excited. For the siege, the cavalry was always just spectators. Before opening the crack of the city wall, they could only watch from the side.

Martial College Captain Shen Guang rode on the horse, staring at the rushing car that had been pushed under the city wall, and said to everyone with some excitement, "Did you see that big guy? That's the rushing car. When I attacked the city last time, I was the rushing car standing on the rushing car. Now the first rushing car that was pushed under the city is probably the brother I knew before. Alas, I really want to jump off the horse, and I rushed forward and went up to the city to kill the enemy, which made me feel itchy."

Chen Kefu and others smiled. Everyone knew that Chen Guang was a well-known figure in the attack on the Liao army this time. When he came, he was just an ordinary guard of the people, but just a few days ago, he stood on the chariot and killed the enemy with a group of soldiers. He was eager to make contributions at that time. He held a horizontal knife and climbed up the city wall of Goguryeo along the thick pole of the chariot, killing several people. Finally, dozens of Goguryeo men fiercely smashed the city with maces.

As a result, when the gang of soldiers in the same car thought he was going to die this time, he took the time to grab a rope beside the rushing car very agilely, and finally flew around quickly. When he approached the ground, he finally stopped at the bottom of the rushing car and stood firmly. Then, while the enemy and us were dumbfounded, Chen Guang moved again, jumped to the top of the city quickly, and killed several enemy soldiers.

It was this time that Chen Guang became the hero in the Sui army second only to Chen Kefu. At that time, Emperor Yang Guang personally summoned their team of soldiers, and they were all rewarded. Chen Guang should have performed well. He was directly promoted from a team leader to become a fifth-rank Wu Yong Lang general, which was a step to reach the sky.

Chen Kefu followed his guidance and looked at the rushing car that first arrived under the city wall, and said with a smile, "General Chen Guang is indeed brave enough for thousands of people, but you don't have to worry about the opportunity to make contributions in the broken military camp. As long as the brothers of the infantry set a gap, it will be the time for us to appear. General Chen Guang, then you will understand that compared with this single-handed killing on the city, tens of thousands of horses and iron hooves are more exciting."

The generals of the military camp were all smiling and attached. Chen Kefu looked at the rushing car. At this time, the soldiers on the rushing car had already begun to fight against the Goguryeo people on the city wall with long spears and bows. The main function of the rushing car was the thick pole that was nearly forty meters long. Relying on the huge rushing bar, the Sui army soldiers pushed the rushing car with thick pole, constantly hitting the female wall of Liaodong City, which was the battlement blocked by the defenders.

Without the battlements, the chances of soldiers on the ladder of the Sui army's siege to attack the city were greatly increased, and the defense of the defenders was greatly reduced.

The first rushing car near the city was pushed by the brothers of Chen Guang and the last time. Last time, Chen Guang appeared in their team, and from a soldier like them, they suddenly became a fifth-rank Wu Yonglang General. Although they were very brave in fighting that time, they were summoned by the emperor in the end, they had only received some gold, silver and wealth rewards, which was a bit disappointing for these soldiers.

This time, the soldiers came with a strong sense of making contributions. At the beginning of the siege, they rushed in front of all the rushing cars.

This team of soldiers is the same as Shen Guang. The so-called Xiaoguo. In the third year of Kaihuang, the old emperor gathered the Xiaoguwei and the Guoyi Army and collected the heroes in the army and stabbed the left arm with a blood eagle. In the ninth year of Daye, this year, in order to expand the army, the emperor recruited new troops in addition to recruiting troops from the palace. Most of these new troops were from Guanzhong. They were strong and brave and good at fighting, so they were called Xiaoguo.

Next to the rushing car, a very tough-looking Xiaoguo said to his comrades, "Brothers, let's take the opportunity at the right time and follow this thick pole to the city. Last time, my brothers didn't catch such a good opportunity. Don't miss it again this time. Shubao, what brothers admire most are you and Shen Guang. This time you have to seize the opportunity. Shen Guang has become a fifth-grade rank. You are no worse than him. This time I will kill him more Liao people and then be promoted to the fifth-grade rank."

Another man hurriedly said, "That's right, His Majesty the Emperor gave everyone a very generous reward. If you don't mention the sunlight, just say that Chen Pojun's commander, he is also a big soldier like us. But you see, he is now a second-rank official, and he has also been named an earl this time. I heard that even the Duke of Tang rushed to promise his third lady to Chen Pojun. Look there, now he is a second-rank official, and he still holds ten thousand elite soldiers in his hand. A man is a real man, and he is a human being."

All the Xiaoguos on the rushing car shouted loudly. For these most brave Xiaoguos in the army, making achievements is the dream in everyone's heart, especially after Chen Guang, who was in the same team realized this dream, they became increasingly eager to build their own achievements.

The man called Shubao was not old, and his face looked very tender, only nineteen, but he was very tall and strong, with a yellow face. At this time, he was wearing a bright light armor, holding a wooden spear of more than meter, a horizontal knife in his waist, and a shield in his left hand.

Although he is young, Shubao is already a veteran in the army. He was less than the age of his age. He was from Licheng, Shandong. His ancestors were originally from the Northern Dynasties' official families for three generations, but in his generation, his father died early and his family fell into ruin.

He learned a good martial arts since childhood and was naturally unwilling to continue like this. Wang Bu in Shandong rebelled a few years ago. At that time, Yingyang Mansions in various parts of Shandong urgently recruited a group of soldiers. Shu Bao also took this opportunity to join the army, thinking about making achievements and revitalizing his family. Unfortunately, after he entered the army, they never could fight with Wang Bu. Finally, he was transferred to the army of the Sui army, the general of the Sui army.

In Lai Hu'er's army, although Shu Bao had participated in several battles, they were all small battles. Although he was very brave in fighting, according to normal promotion standards, he was still far from being his big-headed soldier. However, the general Hu'er attached great importance to this soldier. When Shu Bao's mother passed away, Lai Hu'er, as the general, personally sent someone to his house to pay his respects.

This time, His Majesty the Emperor dispatched troops from all over the world to conquer Goguryeo again. When he came to Hu'er, Shubao would come to Liaodong. In his opinion, he would definitely have a greater chance of making contributions when he came to Liaodong. However, the last time was a great opportunity, but if he seized the opportunity that day and followed Chen Guang to jump onto the city wall, he might be a general now. Even a sixth-rank infantry and cavalry captain would satisfy him.
