Liaodong City...

An important town in the Liaohe River, the capital of Gaodegui, the King of Goguryeo, and the Liaohe Fortress for hundreds of years.

Gao Degui mobilized 50,000 Goguryeo and 30,000 Khitan troops to defend themselves, intending to defend themselves by relying on the strong city and prevent Li Jing's troops from heading north.

In July, Li Jing began to lead his troops to the city of Liaodong. The troops gathered together, united the troops and the towns, and the troops were united and the townsmen. The total number of troops reached 100,000, and the number of troops reached 40,000 after the battle.

This is the first time for Li Jing to gather so many soldiers and horses.

However, although there were 100,000 soldiers, facing the fortress of the Liaohe No. 1 city like Liaodong City, I still felt that my troops were not advantageous. Especially there were 80,000 defenders in the city. For this battle, Gao Degui was a battle of his country, and almost all the troops in the rear were transferred here. If he could not defend Liaodong City, then the entire Goguryeo, which had just been restored for less than a year, would be destroyed again.

In the previous town, there were cavalrymen carrying out guerrilla attacks near Liaodong City, but now they are completely surrounded on all sides.

Liaodong City has two cities inside and outside, and the city is tall and strong. If it is an ordinary method of siege, the food that is currently in the city can be eaten by 80,000 defenders and 200,000 people for three years. Moreover, there are a large amount of weapons in this city. If it is a strong attack, the outcome will be unpredictable.

However, Li Jing rarely fights according to conventional wars.

Li Jing was prepared to deal with a key city like Liaodong City.

The Town [***] Ordnance Department has been studying super catapults. The original general cannon is a type, but this is not the most powerful. The most powerful catapult was actually started to be studied more than three years ago. It was successfully developed and started to produce it a year ago. However, Li Jing has not put this weapon on the battlefield for a long time.

First, the battles against Liaodong and western Liaoning were all mobile warfares. Although this stone casting tool had amazing effect, its transportation was weak.

However, now, the battle of Liaodong City is a city defense and offensive battle. The town [***] has surrounded Liaodong City. Li Jing has time to transport cannons from the rear, especially now that Liaodong has a wide and flat road.

Under the city of Liaodong, the engineers from the Engineering Battalion were equipped with the help of the auxiliary soldiers to install the transported cannons.

Li Jing and a group of generals came to watch, but with the help of pulleys, levers, etc., the first cannon gradually showed a ferocious face. The soldiers who saw this giant for the first time were all amazed.

Li Qi, the master craftsman of the Ordnance Department, pointed to the huge catapult like a hideous monster, and proudly explained to Li Jing and others.

"This is the Dragon Martial Pili Fire General Cannon, which can shoot a three hundred kilogram stone a hundred feet away!"

Just this sentence immediately shocked everyone's generals.

The people present are all generals who are leading troops and are familiar with stone throwing tools. However, a small stone throwing tool is just a stone throwing two pounds, five pounds and ten pounds, while a medium-sized one can only throw ten pounds and twenty pounds, while a large one can throw thirty or forty pounds. The largest stone throwing tool known to require three hundred people to use at a time, and only one hundred pounds are thrown.

There are stone-tree towns that can throw 100 kilograms, but they are just using counterweights and manpower. However, the distance is not as high as one hundred feet, and at most one hundred steps, only fifty feet.

And now, Li Qi actually pointed to this huge stone catapult and said that he could throw 300 kilograms of stone, and could throw 100 feet away.

Almost no one believes that a catapult is not something that can be cast as much as possible.

However, Li Jing did not doubt it, but smiled slightly. In fact, the so-called Longwu Thunderbolt General Cannon is the Xiangyang Cannon. To be precise, this is actually called the counterweight stone throwing tool.

The principle is to use the lever principle to throw the weights and hair. Li Jing told the craftsmen of the Ordnance Department the principle of Xiangyang cannon that he knew. Then, after three years, they finally created this super giant thief.

Li Jing had already seen it in the experimental field after throwing three hundred kilograms of stones a hundred feet away.

The boom of the stone catapult is five meters long, and its counterweight weighs a total of 20,000 kilograms.

In order to withstand the heavy hammer and the boom, the cannon's pillar is a ladle structure that is directly used, especially the balanced hammer weighing 20,000 pounds, which is directly forged with a hydraulic satin hammer.

The five-meter-long hanger is made of high-quality steel. On the base, there is a boom with a weight of 20,000 kilograms hanging on one end, and a five-meter-long hanger with a throwing belt hanging on the other end.

Using the lever principle, one end is a heavy hammer of 20,000 kilograms, and the other end is equipped with a stone to be fired. Before launching, one end of which the medicine is placed must be pulled down with a winch, pulley and manpower. The other end with the heavy object also rises at this time. After putting the stone, release or cut off the rope to let one end of the heavy object fall, and the stone is thrown out as it goes.

The principle is simple, but it is difficult to find a reasonable value for this leverage.

At present, this super stone catapult in the town [***] is already the biggest standard that can be used.

"How many super thrust catapults do we have?" Li Juyi looked at the thrust catapult like a tall building, and then looked at the 20,000-pound counterweight hammer on the other end. When he thought of carrying a 300-pound stone to a hundred feet away, he couldn't help but be amazed.

One hundred feet away. Although there is a crossbow that can shoot seven hundred steps away, it is twice as far as this super stone catapult, the crossbow arrows shot by the crossbow are even the thickest, but even the thickest is just an iron spear. But even the fire spear is huge, and every piece of wood is enough to be held so thick. In addition, there is a thick layer of steel super stone catapult outside, so no matter how many spears there are, it is useless.

The spear cannot penetrate through and cannot burn it. As long as it is not directly captured by the enemy, it will not be able to deal with such a giant super thief.

"I brought ten pieces this time!" Li Qi said a little embarrassedly. This super catapult has many advantages, but it is too big, and even if it is split and transported, it is extremely difficult. Even if this ten catapults were transported from Dengzhou to Liaodong City, it took almost three months.

But for Li Jing, having a cross is enough.

Such weapons are strategic.

Li Jing has always been bothered by the power of black gunpowder. However, with this huge stone caster and combined with black gunpowder, it is suspected that it has great power.

Li Jing brought these catapults this time. The real killer weapon was not this catapult, but various super-large gunpowder developed with the catapult.

The amount of 300 jin can completely cause qualitative change from quantitative change.

According to Li Jing's instructions, the Ordnance Department has developed more than ten types of gunpowder.

This super thrust catapult does not rely entirely on thrusting solid stones.

In addition to solid stones, the Ordnance Department also studied various explosions.

Use the debris of the cannon or the poisonous fire that is sprayed out, and poisonous smoke will kill the enemy.

This time, the ones transported with the catapult include burning, poison, poison smoke, explosion and other major categories.

At this time, the Goryeo defenders on the south gate of Liaodong City were already shocked by the ten tall buildings that were towering under the city. Many people thought it was a rushing car, while others thought it was an arrow tower. Some people who suggested that this was a stone caster were immediately despised by others. How could such a large stone caster be?

"Have you debugged it?" Li Jing held the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, looked at the crowds of people in the city opposite, and asked with a chuckling.

Although it is only seventy feet away from the city, the archers on the city cannot shoot at this hundred and forty steps. Although the heavy crossbow is far away, the engineers under the catapult are equipped with shields, and the huge catapult is the best cover, so they are not afraid of the city at all.

Li Qi said confidently: "It's ready and can be launched at any time."

"Then let's do it!"

"Come on!" Li Qi shouted loudly.

"With solid or explosion?" the loader asked loudly.

Li Jing looked at the towering city gate tower at the south gate, "Are you sure you can hit the city gate tower?"

"No problem." Li Qi said.

"Then let's have an explosion and barbecue."

"Burn, load!"

"Aim at the South City Gate Tower!"

"Aiming is finished!"

"emission!"

On the south city gate seventy steps away, a group of Goguryeo generals who came to hear the police were accompanying Goguryeo King Gao Degui, observing the huge instrument shining with dark light opposite him, looking like a stone catapult. But can such a huge stone catapult really work?

Just as Gao Degui wanted to speak and boost his morale, he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound in the air. He turned his head and looked at it. He saw that the huge stone caster, which was a little higher than the Liaodong city wall, had been launched, and a huge iron barrel like a large water tank flew straight towards him.

"Protect the King!" Several Gao Degui's guards shouted loudly. Gao Degui's face was pale in fear, and his soul was full of deceased. Under the guards' escort, he hurried down to the city. As soon as he ran to the horse path down the city, a huge impact sounded.

In a hurry, I turned my head and looked at it. The big iron cylinder directly hit the city gate tower, and suddenly collapsed half of the city gate tower. Then, a burst of fire and white smoke rose. Another shocking sound was heard, and there was a loud rumbling sound. The big iron cylinder that had just collapsed for a long time but had not broken suddenly burst into pieces.

Several pieces of iron and balls of flames flew out, and the Goguryeo people near the city gate tower suddenly screamed.

Hitted by debris, sputtered by flames.

Gao Degui was lucky. During the explosion, several guards used his body to block a few pieces. The three guards died on the spot, and several were covered in blood. He himself did not get a piece of fragment, only two flames splashed on his body.

While running down the city, he slapped the flames on his clothes casually. As a result, the flames not only did not extinguish them, but also burned in his hands.

He finally realized that something was wrong, but at this time the flames on his body were burning bigger and bigger. Gao Degui screamed in fear, and the surviving guards next to him came to slap them, but in a blink of an eye, all the guards were burning.

In less than a moment, Gao Degui actually burned to ashes.

Li Jing and the generals held up the Qianli Miles and stared at the "The Power of the One-Shot General's Cannon of the Dragon Martial Thunderbolt Fire". Looking at the South City Gate Tower that had collapsed and had been burned to ashes, and the city howling bitterly, and in the end, hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers who died did not escape the death. Everyone did not take a breath of air conditioning.

Although the burning used by this cannon is divine fire, the power of this super thief, plus a 300-pound heavy cannon and a divine fire combination is also too amazing.

Li Jing was extremely excited to see it. Such a combination can be compared with some of the Canon howitzers. This power is indeed true.

"One more shot!" Li Jing shouted excitedly. Even the generals of the town [***] were so surprised. Then Goguryeo, who was guarding the city, would definitely be more timid. If a few more shots could hit the morale of the Goguryeo people and even scare the Khitans directly away, it would be better.

Li Juyi, Wang Chong, Lin Wu and other towns were also blushing and excited at this time. No one expected that this thing was stupid and sturdy, and it was so easy to use.

"One more shot, another shot!"

"Haol, let's have another shot, it's solid!"

Not long after, there was a loud bang, and a huge solid stone of three hundred kilograms hit the top of the city, and the battlements that were nearly one meter wide were directly smashed away.

Seeing this effect, the soldiers did not cheer loudly.

Just as Li Jing was about to mobilize a large number of small and medium-sized catapults and crossbows, and the arrow tower came up and attacked, Wang Yanzhang came to report that a Chang'an angel came to promulgate the imperial edict.

Li Jing hurriedly took the generals back to the camp to welcome the angels, but the one who came was still the old acquaintance, the envoy of the Northern Court of Xuanhui and the General Zhang Tai, the right guard of the gatekeeper of the angel.

After setting up the incense table, Li Jing led the generals to accept the order.

“Under the Door:”

"With literature is used to govern the country, and to ban violence by force, the marshal must rely on the temple's plan. If it is not a great man, who can send it?

The Taifu, also the Zhongshu Ling, was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Censor, the General of the Left Wu Guard, the General of the Cavalry, the Shangzhu Kingdom, the Prince of Andong, the Jiedushi of the Datong Army, and the Jiedushi of the Lulong Army.

The wind and clouds are touched, and the astrological signs are born. They are civil and military, and have economic tools. Since the barbarians were in chaos, the border was not peaceful, they have loyalty to establish themselves, and they have achieved their affairs with their righteousness and courage. In addition, their knowledge is vast and their strategies are profound. Zhang Fei was a rebellion of thousands of people, but he was the commander of the three armies. Therefore, he was able to eliminate the barbarians, recover Andong, build up his great honors, and achieve my kingship. Although Shaokang succeeded to the throne, Xia Mi praised his achievements; Guangwu revived, Deng Yu gathered his affairs. Looking at the past today, there are not many.

The atmosphere is not yet clear, and the army is urgent. We seek great preparations. We should rely on the army to be honest and support the heavy commission. We can overcome difficulties. We can also serve as the marshal of the soldiers and horses of the Hebei Road, and control the troops of the Hebei Road. We will also be appointed as the Ambassador of the Hebei Road, the Ambassador of the Yingtiandu Branch of the Hebei Road, the Salt and Iron Transportation Envoy of the Hebei Road, and the Ambassador of the Hebei Road Salt and Iron Transportation Envoy, and the Ambassador of the Foreign Tribes. We will still be appointed as the governor of the Lulong Army and the Jiedu of the Datong Army!"

"The edict was issued on August 8th, the fifth year of Qianfu in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jing knelt down and listened to the imperial edict, but after Zhang Tai finished promulgating the edict, Li Jing still bowed his head and did not accept the edict for a long time.

Zhang Tai had no choice but to cough and smile gently, "Prince Andong please receive the order!"
Chapter completed!
