Yang Kai glanced at Li Muqing and the generals with a gloomy expression and smiled: "But there is no need to worry too much! Even so, as long as we resist the first wave of the Qin army's offensive, the situation will become beneficial to us!"

Li Muqing couldn't help but nodded, but his expression was still worried.

Yang Kai asked softly: "Your Majesty is worried about whether you can defend it." Li Muqing glanced at Yang Kai, couldn't help but sigh in his heart and nodded.

Yang Kai said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much! Although the First Army of the Qin Army is strong, it only has 100,000 people after all; and although Hengren is not as good as the Jincheng Tangchi in the Central Plains, it can be regarded as a strong city. Although the Qin army's artillery is powerful, it is not easy to collapse the city wall. Besides, there are more than 100,000 troops in Hengren City, with sufficient food and grass, and His Majesty is in charge, all the soldiers are willing to serve their lives with death! Why worry Your Majesty?"

Li Muqing's eyes lit up, looked at Yang Kai, and sighed: "Mr. I'm so enlightened by words!" Li Muqing suddenly stood up, glanced at the generals in the hall, and said with a firm look on his face: "I, the King of Goguryeo, swear to fight with Chen Chu to the decisive battle at Hengren City!" At this moment, Li Muqing's momentum was quite astonishing, which was the so-called 'king of aura'.

The generals couldn't help but wake up and agreed.

The next morning, the sound of Qin army war drums that had been repaired for a day sounded again. More than 70,000 soldiers from the vanguard camp of the First Army, the Left Guard camp, and the Right Guard camp opened the camp and lined up in the wilderness outside the west city of Hengren City. More than 150 cannons were lined up in front of the army. The flags were like clouds, swords and guns were like snow, and the heavy murderous aura was shocking. Chen Chu immediately looked at Hengren City in front of him with a calm expression. On both sides were the generals Lu Bu, Dian Wei and the generals.

Chen Chu glanced at the slender figure on the city gate tower, smiled coldly, and slowly raised his right hand. At this moment, the world seemed to be silent, and a breathless pressure was pressing on the hearts of all Goguryeo soldiers.

Chen Chu suddenly put down his right hand, and almost at the same time, the officer who was commanding the artillery team roared, "Fire the artillery!!"

"Boom boom boom boom! ~~~" There were huge roars one after another, and everyone's body and mind were shocked by the loud noise comparable to thunder. The whole earth seemed to tremble slightly. The storm-like artillery shells roared, and the gravel dust burst into the air one after another, accompanied by dull and amazing impacts. Some unlucky Goguryeo soldiers were directly hit by heavy solid artillery shells, and ended up in an extremely bloody ending.

Li Muqing came down from the city gate tower in a panic under the protection of his personal guards. Li Muqing looked shocked. "This, this is the cannon!" Li Muqing murmured with a dull expression. Yang Kai, who had a pale face, said in a deep voice: "It seems that the rumors about this cannon are not exaggerated at all! But Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much! Although this cannon is amazing, it should not be able to collapse Hengren's city wall! The only thing to pay attention to is the city gate!" Li Muqing was originally a wise man, and immediately understood what Yang Kai meant. Li Muqing immediately called General Tielang, and asked him to add 5,000 crossbowmen to the houses on the left and right fronts of the city gate, and arranged thousands of heavy tower shields and longs on the front of the city gate. In addition, I also asked Tielang to prepare enough bricks and stones near the city gate to block the city gate holes when necessary.

The artillery fire lasted for about two quarters of an hour, and then ten thousand vanguard soldiers pushed various siege equipment toward Hengren City. At this time, smoke and dust were still lingering on the top of the city, and most of the Goguryeo soldiers had not yet recovered from the shock just now.

"The Qin army is coming up! Get ready for battle!!" An officer shouted at the top of his voice. Immediately, there were people on the city walls, and the various troops of Goguryeo were mobilized according to the previous plan, but it seemed a little messy. Maybe they were still immersed in the atmosphere of artillery fire just now.

When the Qin army gradually advanced about 150 steps away from the city wall, the crossbow on the city wall began to fire. The huge gun arrow rushed towards the Qin army with a unique whistling sound. A gun arrow was stabbed hard on the shield of a sword and shield hand. The shield immediately broke. Then the Qin army's sword and shield hand was pierced by the gun arrow, and the casting of the gun arrow remained unabated. It was not denied that the Goguryeo Army's bed crossbow was indeed very powerful, but this did not have much impact on the overall formation of the Qin army. The fallen comrades next to the Qin army seemed to be unaffected at all, and they still looked calm and pushed forward firmly. The Goguryeo Army's crossbow shooting seemed to be constantly throwing stones at the sea tide.

When the Qin army advanced about one hundred steps away from the city wall, more than 300 equipment that were somewhat similar to the bed crossbow stopped, divided into three rows of canine teeth, adjusted an angle, and faced the city wall. Just when the Goguryeo soldiers were puzzled, these more than 100 special bed crossbows were shot. What surprised the Goguryeo Army was that the Qin army's bed crossbows were firing guns and arrows continuously, and a terrifying dark cloud flew towards them. In a blink of an eye, guns and arrows fell into the city wall like raindrops. Many Goguryeo soldiers were nailed directly to the city wall, and some were actually beaten backwards by the huge inertia of guns and arrows. The hit bed crossbows were immediately split into pieces, and the broken bow arms knocked the servants away.

The heavy rain formed by guns and arrows seemed to sweep endlessly. The Goguryeo soldiers who had not yet emerged from the shock brought by the Qin army's artillery fire could not help but be frightened. Many people were in horror and wanted to escape from this hell-like place. Fortunately, the Goguryeo generals were prepared for such a situation. After mercilessly killing several cowardly people in the battle, the situation was controlled.

The Goguryeo Army, who came back from the shock, began to fight back with a crossbow, and saw the heavy rain-like guns flying towards the city, mixed with a single shadow and only a few guns and arrows that were upstream.

The Qin army's 10,000 attack troops advanced smoothly under the cover of the serial crossbows, and then climbed up the city wall with ladders. At the same time, the powerful crossbowmen on the movable arrow tower suppressed and shot the Goguryeo crossbowmen on the city wall, while the serial crossbows slightly adjusted the shooting angle and aimed at the sections of the city wall that were not directly impacted by the siege troops.

The Qin army warrior bit the horizontal sword and climbed up the ladder like agile ape. At this time, stones and wood rolled down rumbling down, and pots of boiling oil splashed down like a waterfall. The Qin soldiers on the cloud ladder were constantly knocked down by the huge force from top to bottom; a torch fell on a cloud ladder with boiling oil splashed, and the flames suddenly swallowed up the entire ladder. The two Qin soldiers on it actually continued to climb up in flames. When the enemy was stunned, they climbed to the top of the city, killed several enemy troops in succession and died.

The fierce siege continued until before the evening, when the Qin army called out to withdraw its troops.

Seeing that the Qin army finally retreated, the Goguryeo soldiers on the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Today's battle is actually not large in scale, and the Qin army's attacks were more tentative, testing the Goguryeo army's city defense situation.

In the middle of the night that day, flames suddenly rose from the east gate of Hengren City, and then a thrilling killing sound cut through the silent night sky. It turned out that this was the Qin army's surprise attack based on the flaws discovered during the day. The first one to launch an attack was a brigade's "Dragon Teeth". They climbed up the city wall through ropes, and then launched a surprise attack on the Goguryeo army defending the city gate tower and the city gate.

Perhaps it was God's will, just as the Dragon Ya army was about to capture the city gate, a Goguryeo soldier actually lit the turbulent barrel placed on the city gate tower in panic. With a low explosion, the city gate was immediately submerged in a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing that things were no longer possible, Longya quickly left the battlefield.

In this round of sneak attack, only fifty people died or injured by the Qin army, most of whom were buried in the sea of ​​fire; while the Goguryeo lost at least seven or eight hundred people, of which about two hundred were engulfed by the raging fire they lit. However, no matter what, the Qin army almost successfully attacked this time but failed because of such an inexplicable situation.
