    Chapter 75 Post-Huangcheng

    "My lord, my eyeball fell off."

    "It didn't fall off."

    "If I look at you again, your eyes will fall to the ground." Sun Qingqi put her hands on her hips and laughed, looking at it so cute.

    Li Zhen swallowed hard and said seriously: "Qingqi, why are you here?"

    Sun Qingqi stuck out her tongue at Li Zhen and said, "My lord, your eyes were so weird when you just took the exam. Do you like me?"

    "Ahem, what's the matter?"

    "Hehe, just tell me if I like you"

    Sun Qingqi took Li Zhen¡¯s arm and shook it, making Li Zhen¡¯s heart sway.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of mind that this little girl is really irritating, but if I take him down, if Sun Simiao is angry and removes his disciples, where will he find a military doctor in the future?

    It¡¯s better to stew the meat over a slow fire. Why are you anxious? It¡¯s yours and you can¡¯t get away no matter what, and you won¡¯t come if you don¡¯t force it.

    ¡°Besides, I really can¡¯t do anything with such a cute little girl

    Sun Qingqi couldn't help but smile when she saw Li Zhen squinting, and said, "I won't mess with you anymore, Your Majesty, I brought you two good things today." After Sun Qingqi finished speaking, she took out two large firecracker-like things.

    "what is this?"

    "This is the lighting firecracker I invented. I added some special powder to the firecracker. After it is lit, it rises into the air and can light up the night sky."

    "Can it light up the night sky? Isn't that a flare?"

    Li Zhen was startled, and then she remembered that the flares were filled with metal magnesium powder and aluminum powder, which could raise temperatures of several thousand degrees when burning, making the flares particularly bright.

    "You try me and see." Li Zhen said.

    Sun Qingqi nodded and lit the firecrackers. The next moment, a dazzling light rose into the sky, illuminating the sky as bright as day.

    After a while, the light disappeared. Sun Qingqi looked proud, raised her little face, and said cheerfully: "How was it? I didn't lie to you."

    Li Zhen was also happy and burst out laughing, thinking that Sun Qingqi was really a genius!  She actually made a flare.

    "Not bad! Not bad! This thing is really good. It has great military uses, but it only lights up for a short time."

    "This is the same, but I haven't figured out a way to make it stay on for a long time." Sun Qingqi scratched her head.

    Li Zhen smiled and said: "If you use dry ingredients, rosin, and shellac, it should be able to stay bright for a longer time."

    "Ah? Really? Then I'll go back and try!" Sun Qingqi's eyes lit up and she turned around and left.

    "Hey! Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Zhen was stunned and thought to herself that this little girl is really hot-tempered and will do whatever she says.

    "I want to go back and make a lighting firecracker that lasts for a long time." Sun Qingqi's voice came from a distance.

    Li Zhen couldn¡¯t help but shake her head, this little girl, hey, forget it, ignore her, let her invent and create, maybe she can become the Nobel Prize of this era.

    After returning to his residence, Li Zhen received information that Quan Gaisuwen's army had been assembled and was setting off from Pyongyang and other places toward Huangcheng and Liucheng.

    Li Zhen immediately ordered that Xue Rengui immediately summoned five thousand Shenwu troops to go out with him tomorrow, entering the sea from Lulong and heading straight to the Korean Peninsula!

    Lulong, also known as Changli in later generations, is a port. Li Zhen led five thousand soldiers to Lulong and began to collect ships to prepare for an expedition to the Korean Peninsula across the sea.

    At the same time, Quan Gaisuwen led an army of 400,000 to attack Datang Yingzhou, attacking Houhuangcheng and Liucheng.

    The 400,000-strong army was overwhelming, and the sound of killing was loud.

    Quan Gaisu Wenbing was divided into two groups. One group was led by the eldest son, Quan, and went straight to Houhuang City. The other group bypassed Houhuang City and went straight to Liucheng.

    Later, Huangcheng was guarded by generals Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu, who led five thousand soldiers. Although the city was not big, it had sufficient food and grass and strong defenses. Zhou Qing was brave, Xue Xiantu was strategic, and the five thousand soldiers were all veterans who were good at conquering and fighting.

    ¡°Dong dong dong!¡±

    With the sound of war drums, Goguryeo's vanguard of 10,000 elite cavalry has arrived at the foot of Houhuang City. Looking from a distance, it blocks out the sky and the sun.

    On the top of the city, although Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu were defending the city for the first time, they had the demeanor of generals and remained calm during the battle.

    "Bring up the bed crossbow!"

    "yes!"

    Dozens of crossbows were brought out and fired three rounds at the outside of the city, killing hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers.

      At this time, tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers carried wooden ladders and set them up on the top of the city and launched a fierce attack on the city.

    The Goguryeo soldiers were extremely brave, braving rolling logs and rocks, they almost rushed to the top of the city.

    Zhou Qing snorted coldly and waved his hand. The soldiers carried out many wooden stakes and pushed the wooden ladder out with force. The wooden ladder fell to the ground, and the Goguryeo soldiers on the ladder suffered head injuries and bleeding.

    When the first plan failed, the Goguryeo people tried another plan and launched many behemoths several meters high.

    I saw that the chassis of these behemoths used wood as a bed, with six wheels underneath. The ladder body was fixed on the chassis at a certain angle, and a movable "auxiliary ladder" was added to the main ladder, with a pair of windlass installed at the top.  When climbing the city, you can move up and down freely along the city wall, no longer needing to be carried on your shoulders.

    This is a ladder.

    It is said that the ladder was built by Lu Ban for the King of Chu and was a powerful tool for attacking cities and villages. By the Tang Dynasty, the ladder had developed greatly.

    The main ladder adopts a fixed device, which simplifies the ladder erection procedure and shortens the ladder erection time. When the army is attacking a city, it only needs to park the main ladder at the bottom of the city, and then set up the auxiliary ladder on the main ladder, so that it can "pillow up the city"  ", thereby reducing the danger and difficulty of erecting ladders in front of the enemy.

    Twenty ladders were pushed to the front of the city by soldiers and stopped a few meters away from the city wall. The auxiliary ladders were lowered and placed on top of the city.

    ¡°Then I saw Goguryeo soldiers ascending the auxiliary ladder of the cloud ladder and rushing towards the head of Houhuang City.

    A strange smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face. The next moment, water guns made of large bamboo tubes were set up and pointed at the ladder in the distance.

    "Plop!"

    Streams of viscous liquid spurted out, continuously shooting onto the ladder under strong pressure.

    This liquid turned out to be piles of kerosene.

    Kerosene was sprayed on the main ladder and auxiliary ladder, and the entire ladder immediately became slippery. Goguryeo soldiers fell from the ladder to the ground, and the offensive came to a standstill for a while.

    Zhou Qing laughed loudly and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

    "Huhu"

    Countless rockets shot towards the ladder from the top of the city.

    "Hoo!"

    The next moment, raging flames ignited on the ladder, and the countless Goguryeo soldiers on the ladder knew that it was fire falling down the ladder.

    Flames burn the sky!

    As the raging fire burned, all twenty of Goguryeo¡¯s painstakingly built ladders were burned down, and thousands of Goguryeo people died in this siege.

    Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu laughed loudly.

    Goguryeo, if you have the guts, come!

    It¡¯s time to see how you capture Houhuang City!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
