It was just a round of spirit stone fireball bombing, and more than a hundred spirit stones fell on the top of the city. Because of its excellent accuracy and unimaginable lethality, the guards of the city died at least a thousand people!
The number of wounded was several times higher than this, and most of them were seriously injured, because as long as the body was pierced by flying stones, they would basically lose their combat capabilities. Among them, there were also a large number of low-level monks who practiced Qi as the backbone of the city's defense!
The female wall was also damaged to a certain extent, and gaps with large doors appeared one after another.
This is just a casualty of a city wall!
And with the sound of howling wind, Tang Jun's second round of spirit stone fireball rose into the sky and fell down with a destructive attitude.
Those defenders who were fighting high and full of confidence at the top of the city before withstood a round of violent bombing that they had never encountered before. Not only did many of them turn into corpses, thousands of people lay in a pool of blood and wailed endlessly. , Even the soldiers who were not bombarded still had a blank mind, and they couldn't be more stunned. They either stood there in a daze, or ran away with their heads in their hands when a new round of spirit stones hit.

Shen Chongqian had never experienced such a battle before, and he stood there dumbfounded, looking at the miserable scene at the top of the wall with disbelief on his face.
Faced with such an attack, Pei Xuanqing, whose expression changed greatly, was horrified and yelled like crazy: "Intercept the 'Firestone', intercept the 'Firestone'! Let's all shoot at the real world! No, we will also shoot at the advanced level of Qi training!"
The defense line of Pyongyang City concentrated the essence of the Goguryeo army. There are more than 40 people in the real world, hundreds of people in the advanced level of Qi training, and nearly 10,000 monks in Qi training. Such a huge force is the basis for Gong Yi, Pei Xuanqing and others to be confident that they can defeat Tang Jun.
The spirit stone fireball came very fast, not comparable to ordinary boulders. In a hurry, less than 20% of the second round of spirit energy fireballs were intercepted, and many of them were destroyed by monks when they were about to fall on the top of the city. The exploding flying stones still set off a bloody storm on the top of the city.
After the first round of bombing, the Koguryo soldiers at the top of the city had fallen into a certain degree of chaos. Although there were fewer spirit stone fireballs falling this time, the damage caused was not reduced at all!
Pei Xuanqing was so angry that his eyeballs would fall out.
The buzzing third round of spirit stone fireballs struck immediately!
Pei Xuanqing made a bold move and intercepted the three nearby spirit stone fireballs. With his cultivation strength, this was not difficult. But he also felt that the power of a spirit stone fireball when it exploded was equivalent to a full blow from a high-level Qi training monk. Such extraordinary power made his scalp tingle.
Fortunately, the Goguryeo army has also experienced many battles. Ordinary soldiers can't face such Tianwei, but the high-level Qi training, especially the monks in the real world, reacted decisively and immediately blocked the third round of fireballs. The next half.
The remaining 20 or 30 fireballs landed on the top of the city. Although they were still extremely lethal, they were no longer so terrifying.
Pei Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, secretly palpitating. The Tang Dynasty is really terrible. It actually built such a horrible thing, such a magic weapon of mass destruction, it is really trembling on the battlefield!
"Fortunately, I reacted in a timely manner. There are quite a few monks in the real world and high-level Qi training in the city. The next round of spirit stone fireballs strikes, so there shouldn't be too much threat..."
Pei Xuanqing was thinking like this, when he suddenly heard Shen Chongqian's panicked cry: "Look, general!"
Pei Xuanqing was observing the battlefield at the top of the city, assessing the damage of the soldiers, when he suddenly heard Shen Chongqian's shout, and when he looked back outside the city, his heart that had just stabilized came to his throat again!
Tang Jun's trebuchet did not continue to display its power, but a boundless dark cloud flew out of Tang Jun's formation!
Of course it's not really a dark cloud, it's an arrow
rain!
No, it's not a rain of arrows, it's a crossbow arrow!
Extraordinary crossbow!
Every crossbow bolt is shining with aura light, and they are connected together, and the momentum is terrifying!
"A magic weapon again? Magic weapon crossbow?! Magic weapon crossbow?!" Pei Xuanqing couldn't bear it anymore this time, not only howled in his heart, but also shouted in panic!
There are countless crossbow arrows, even if there are real people and high-level Qi training monks, there is no way to intercept them!
Dark clouds fell over the city.
After the bombardment of the spirit stone fireball, the cloth curtain at the top of the city has long disappeared, and it has become burning "paper" scattered everywhere.
In an instant, the soldiers at the head of the city were hit head-on if they encountered a mountain torrent.
What they encountered was indeed a flash flood, not a torrential rain. Because it is a magical weapon, the crossbow bolt is amazingly powerful, not to mention that it is easy to break armor. After shooting a person, it can penetrate the armor behind him, and then firmly nail it to the wall.
Not to mention the heavy casualties of the city guards, the death conditions were also extremely miserable.
A team member was looking at the large shield held high in his hand, and then at the crossbow that had sunk into his chest, his eyes were full of puzzlement and despair. To the end of his life, he could not understand why Tang Jun's crossbows were so strong that they could pierce through the big shield when fired from a long distance, but after piercing through the big shield, they could still shoot through his own armor and penetrate his body!
It's... irrational...
How to defend against such a crossbow? What's the point of shields and armor
The magic weapon trebuchet stopped, but the magic weapon crossbow was exerting even more terrifying power, and the city of Pyongyang was completely in chaos. In a very short period of time, the dead bodies filled the horse path, as if they were not human beings, but weeds, and it was too easy to die.
Seeing the endless dark clouds of Tang Jun's crossbow arrows coming one after another, Pei Xuanqing's heart beat like a drum, his eyes were about to burst, as if tears of blood were about to flow down!
"The Tang army's offensive...why is it so unreasonable? This......what are these existences! Such a strong trebuchet and crossbow, how can we defend, how can we continue to stand in the city? head?" Shen Chongqian blocked the crossbow in front of him, his voice was so sad that it was beyond words.
At this moment, he finally understood why the Tang army dared to attack Goguryeo with only 100,000 troops!
As soon as Wu fought, the guards at the top of the city were already dead and wounded. The three walls added up, more than 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers died in battle, and tens of thousands were injured. However, there seems to be no end to the crossbow arrows of the Tang army, even if they have 300,000 Soldiers, how can they stand up to such a massacre
"Back! Back! Get down the city wall!" Pei Xuanqing looked at the sporadic soldiers on the city wall, his eyes were scarlet like blood, and his teeth were about to gnaw.
He had to give such an order.
Tang Jun's long-range attack methods were too explosive, and they couldn't deal with them at all. Staying at the top of the city was like being slaughtered, and they had to go down the city wall to avoid it.
Pei Xuanqing wanted to retreat, but Tang Jun didn't intend to make it so easy for them to retreat.
"General! The Tang army has begun to take over the city!" A general shouted in panic, pointing to the outside of the city.
Pei Xuanqing leaned on the female wall and looked out. The Tang army's infantry formation held high their shields, carrying stacked bridges, ladders, and nest carts, and they had already started rushing towards the city wall. Although their speed was not fast, they were definitely not slow. The formation is extremely neat, like a wall going under, every soldier is tightly protected by a large shield.
There is a moat outside the city, which is deep and wide. There are few soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. It will take a lot of time to fill the moat. This time was originally the time for the city to use its strong bow and crossbow advantages to make them pay a heavy price, but now...
… .
In the Tang army's formation, arrows rained like dark clouds continuously on the top of the city, and the top of the city could no longer hold people.
Compared with ordinary strong bows and powerful crossbows, the powerful crossbow has a longer range, better front sight, and greater lethality, which allows Tang Jun to attack unreasonably.
Moreover, what Tang Jun was carrying was not a sack, but a stacked bridge. How could Pei Xuanqing not understand that they didn't plan to fill up the moat, but planned to build a bridge and pass directly through, quickly connecting the city!
Pei Xuanqing's complexion changed rapidly, which was extremely exciting.
If it were normal times... Forget it, it's not normal now, what's the point of thinking about it!
"General... Is it impossible to defend the city?" The general swallowed hard and asked tentatively. He himself felt absurd when he said this. It has been less than half an hour since the start of the war, and the Goguryeo defenders, who are waiting for it, can no longer hold the top of the city!
Is there such a war in the world
Their city defense is very tight, all kinds of defense equipment are complete, the manpower is sufficient, and the city wall is high enough... But no matter how good these things are, what is the use if the city can't stand people
Under normal circumstances, no matter how strong the attacking party's arrow rain is, most of the arrows will not be able to accurately land on the horse path at the head of the city. The city is close to the city, and they are condescending, so they can fight whatever they want
But now...
Before this battle, not to mention ordinary generals, even Pei Xuanqing and Shen Chongqian had no idea that the Tang Army was equipped with such powerful magic weapons trebuchets and magic weapons crossbows, and there were so many of them!
The female wall was blown down by the spirit stone fireball, pierced by the magic weapon bed crossbow, and the shield armor could not stop the crossbow arrows at all. The key point is that the Tang army's crossbow formation is still far away, and the ordinary strong crossbows at the top of the city cannot be touched at all. If you see the opponent, you can only be beaten passively!
This city defense battle cannot be carried out at all!
The Tang Dynasty has become so strong
Pei Xuanqing's heart trembled.
"Assemble the fine cavalry, go out to fight!" Pei Xuanqing clenched his fists and gave the order to fight.
The top of the city can no longer stand. If the Tang army is allowed to attack the top of the city and directly attack the city, the morale will collapse in an instant-after all, the battle will start in less than half an hour. Can't stand it!
For the current plan, the only way is to give full play to the superiority of troops and go out of the city to fight the Tang army in close quarters! As long as the two sides are mixed together, Tang Jun's crossbow array will not be able to exert its power.
"Send orders to the left and right of the acropolis, mobilize elite soldiers to attack, and cooperate with the main city to fight!"
Pei Xuanqing walked down the tunnel quickly, stepped on the horse, took a deep breath, turned around and ordered again to be safe, "After Jingqi leaves the city, the infantry must be ready to follow up at any time. In today's battle, the only way to fight head-on is with the Tang army. There is absolutely no reason to be spared! My lords, it is time to serve the country and make meritorious deeds!"
When the generals heard the words, they promised loudly.
Being passively beaten at the top of the city is really aggrieved. Tens of thousands of people were killed and injured in a very short period of time, which made people's hearts collapse. Now they can go out of the city to face the Tang army head-on. As elites, they quickly regained their fighting spirit.
On the commanding platform of the Tang Army formation, Zhao Polu saw several city gates opened at the same time, and a torrent of armored cavalry rushed out from inside. His eyes lit up and he clasped his fists and said to Li Ye, "Your Majesty, the Korean army has come out!"
Li Ye smiled slightly, "It finally came out. If the spirit stone fireball and magic weapon crossbow are consumed like this, I will feel pain in my heart. Although these things are amazingly powerful, they are too expensive. It is good to save a little .”
