    The Sui army launched a total of twenty rounds of attacks on Liaodong City, with almost a thousand stone bullets.  It's not that Huang Mingyuan is merciful, but three hundred kilograms of boulders are indeed rare in places like the Liaohe Plain. For a while, the Sui army was unable to transport so many boulders, and many of them could only be transported from western Liaoning along the Liao River.

    Huang Mingyuan, who was calm at this time, was actually shaken in his heart. He saw the tragic situation at the top of Liaodong City through the telescope, which was really shocking.  The entire west wall of Liaodong City was damaged in several places and was on the verge of collapse. As for the top of the city, even the city gates and buildings were blown down, and not many living people could be seen.

    Legend has it that Huihui Artillery attacked Xiangyang City. The Song army, which had been defending Xiangyang City for six years, could not stand it any longer. Many generals overran the city and surrendered.

    Perhaps, Liaodong City is easier to fight than I thought.

    Seeing the tremendous power of the Sui army¡¯s thunder cannon, everyone was frightened but also delighted.  Many people asked for battle and asked to be attacked by the vanguard ants, but Huang Mingyuan refused.

    Although the Thunder Cannon is a dimensionality reduction strike against Liaodong City, there are still 80,000 main troops in the city.  It is impossible to defeat it with just a shelling, so the ant attack on the city at this time seems to open up the situation, but in fact it drags the war back to the traditional siege situation, and this is what the Goguryeo people want  hopefully.

    The more immobile a mountain is and the bombardment continues, the more the morale of the defenders will be shaken.  When the right opportunity comes, the army will be dispatched, and with a thunderous strike, the enemy can be defeated in one fell swoop.

    Of course, the Sui army would not just watch and do nothing.  Taking advantage of this good opportunity, various Sui armies began to advance and build slopes.

    Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Sui army approached Liaodong City through various connecting trenches carrying earth bags and giant trees.  At this time, the Goguryeo army on the walls of Liaodong City was so suppressed that they could not even lift their heads. They were helpless as the Sui army approached.

    Thousands of servants rushed to the front carrying huge trees.

    When these people came to the ditch closest to the city wall, they erected these trees, which were five or six feet high, to make railings.

    Hundreds of giant trees have been lined up to form a wooden wall that is two hundred steps long.  These giant trees are buried more than a foot deep in the ground. Even if they are bombarded by the Goguryeo army in the city, they are difficult to knock down.

    The Goguryeo army in the city also discovered the giant tree erected by the Sui army, but they did not know the purpose of the Sui army at all.

    Zuo Xiong, the general guarding the city, didn't know the Sui army's intention, so he had to order the catapults in the city to fight back.  But before the Goguryeo catapults fired a few shots, the Sui army's thunder cannons on the opposite side began to roar again.

    Moreover, Goguryeo¡¯s bombardment exposed its artillery and carriage positions. Under the counterattack of the Sui army¡¯s thunder cannons, countless catapults were destroyed soon after.

    Zuo Xiong no longer dared to use the catapult, but he could not fight out of the city. He had to order his men to fight back with bows and arrows. However, compared with the hugely lethal catapult, this kind of counterattack did not have much effect.

    Wait until the Sui army erected the wooden wall.  After an order was given in front of the formation, tens of thousands of servants carried earth bags and ran all the way from the trench to behind the wooden wall, and piled the earth bags beside the wooden wall.  Tens of thousands of bags of soil were piled together in a very short period of time, and for a while, it turned into a slope of soil.

    At the same time, another servant went up to the slope and poured yellow mud and glutinous rice juice on the soil bag.  Thick yellow mud and glutinous rice juice glue these earth bags together layer by layer, forming a dam that is extremely strong.

    In less than a day, a solid slope of earth rose up directly to the west of Liaodong City.

    The Sui army's seven-shooter cannon and five-shooter cannon were placed on the slopes, and the single-shooter cannon and double-shooter cannon with a longer range were arranged behind them.  In the evening, the Sui army's artillery positions had been set up, and thousands of artillery fire were fired, hitting the Goguryeo army on the opposite city wall crying for their fathers and mothers.

    This round of artillery fire lasted for nearly more than an hour, completely suppressing the Goguryeo artillery carriage in the opposite city.

    In the evening, the Goguryeo people in the city breathed a sigh of relief. Who knows what they experienced today.  Countless people are looking forward to daylight not coming, so as not to experience nightmare moments here.

    At this time, Jiang Yishi in the city was helpless. He did not expect that the Sui army had no ants to attack the city, which made many of his arrangements completely in vain.  The countless rolling wood, stones, and scalding gold juice on the city head were all prepared for the Sui army. Now they were scattered by the Sui army's artillery carts, but they all fell on the heads of the Goguryeo people themselves.

    Before engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Sui army, Goguryeo suffered more than 2,000 casualties. The city walls were damaged in many places. The morale of the troops in the city dropped to freezing point. How could they fight this battle?

    At this time, someone proposed a plan to Jiang Yishi. There were so many artillery vehicles in the Sui army that it was difficult to resist them.  When the stone bullets hit the city wall, they bounced back and forth, causing huge damage.  How about placing a large amount of sand and soil on the top of the city to prevent the bullets from jumping.

      Jiang Yishi acted with a plan, but when he was ready to implement it the next day, he discovered that the plan simply didn't work.  A large amount of sand was dumped on the city, which completely blocked the movement of the army. Moreover, the stone projectiles were huge and the amount of sand was not enough, so they would be scattered in all directions.

    At this time, someone came up with a plan to use hemp rope to pull up a large net at the top of the city to stop the Sui army's stone bullets.  When these stone bullets hit the net, they will be bounced to the bottom of the city.

    Jiang Yishi asked people to build several large nets overnight and cover them on the top of the city.  These large nets are several layers thick, one layer on top of another, and can bear the weight of thousands of pounds.

    Sure enough, the Sui army's stone bullets came roaring, but were blocked by the big net and rolled to the bottom of the city.

    Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but sneer when he saw Goguryeo's big net.  The Goguryeo people are really funny. Do they think these nets can stop the Sui army?

    Hemp ropes are dried in the sun and are most flammable.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered the Sui army to hang hot oil bags on the stone bombs and then drop them into Goguryeo City.  At the same time, Huang Mingyuan arranged a batch of crossbows in front of the formation. While the artillery carts roared, these crossbows also released countless rockets.

    The rocket hit the net and immediately caused a fire.  At the same time, hot oil bags were dumped on the Internet or at the top of the Goguryeo city, which also became accelerants.  Huge nets were burning at fire points everywhere, and finally a fire broke out on top of the city.

    And the Sui army kept throwing kerosene, and the entire Liaodong city became a sea of ??fire.

    The Goguryeo people went crazy and started putting out the fire, but they couldn't put it out.  The fire burned everything that could be burned, including hot oil at the top of the city, rolling logs, and living people.

    The smoke billowing from the top of Liaodong City, the fire engulfed the crowd. From time to time, some people howled and jumped from the top of the city, jumping into the moat outside the city wall.

    Maybe they thought the moat could save them, so they jumped into the river one by one like dumplings.  The Sui army immediately fired from the slope into the moat, just like whack-a-mole. The entire moat was filled with Goguryeo corpses.

    The fire burned all night. When the fire stopped, only a lonely stone wall and a circle of soldiers with faces as black as coal were left sitting on the remaining city wall, numb and frightened.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
