Chapter 1161 Why Doesn’t that Zhao Chen Die?
Li Jing's words made Yuengai Suwen a little confused.
Over the years of marching and fighting, he has seen quite a few enemy generals.
But I have never encountered someone like Li Jing. Why do you mean that all of them are not allowed to attack and let their own people attack the Cangzhou City Gate?
What kind of combat method is this?
I’ve never heard of Yeon Gaeso Moon.
"Commander, this Li Jing was given the title of Military God in the Tang Dynasty. Maybe he will deceive us now and then kill all our people under the city tower." Huizhen frowned.
He didn't believe that anyone would give up resistance completely and let his enemies attack the city gate.
Huizhen felt that Li Jing on the opposite side just wanted to trick them into killing them.
Yeon Gaesumun looked at the exhausted soldiers paralyzed at the gate of Cangzhou City with a solemn expression.
Even the Chang'an City Gate, which is known as the strongest in the world, should not remain motionless under so many attacks.
But in front of a mere Cangzhou city gate, dozens of his soldiers were paralyzed there.
"Since Li Jing has said that they will not attack and let us attack the Cangzhou City Gate, if we don't go, wouldn't it make people think that I am afraid of the commander?"
"Go, send a hundred people to support, and be sure to break down this broken city gate for me." Yeon Gaesumun and Huizhen shouted.
Huizhen nodded. Although he didn't quite believe what Li Jing said, he still turned around and went to find a hundred strong Goguryeo soldiers.
In order to allow them to exert their full strength, a hundred people threw all their weapons on the ground.
Carefully walked towards the Cangzhou City Gate.
There was no arrow flying from the Cangzhou City Tower. Seeing this scene in front of him, Yuan Gaisuwen was even more confused.
He was curious about where the confidence came from to make Li Jing so confident.
One hundred Goguryeo soldiers walked nervously to the gate of Cangzhou City, and then breathed a sigh of relief when they reached the city cave.
As soon as a hundred people arrived, dozens of people who had already been paralyzed from exhaustion stepped aside to make way for their seats.
No one wasted any time, pushing the huge
The siege vehicle slammed into the city gate.
The huge reaction force caused many Goguryeo soldiers to fall to the ground.
The rest of the people also felt their arms hurt from the shock, and they all covered their arms.
Looking at the city gate again, there was still no movement at all.
Not to mention breaking down the city gate.
In the distance, Yeon Gaesumun's eyes almost jumped out of his head. A hundred people couldn't even knock down a city gate.
Is this city gate made of iron and cast together with the city wall?
"Yuan Gaisuwen, do you want to continue trying?" Li Jing's voice sounded from the Cangzhou Tower.
Yeon Gaesumun's face suddenly turned gloomy.
So many people pretended not to understand a city gate, but it really made him feel angry.
If they can't break the city, it will be extremely difficult for them to enter the city from the tower.
Cangzhou City is the gateway to the Tang Dynasty, with the vast sea on one side and the rolling mountains on the other side.
This Cangzhou City is their only way to pass no matter what.
But if the city gate cannot be breached, the battle to capture the city will be extremely difficult.
With a pile of lives, Yeon Gaesumun didn't know what the winning rate would be.
Yeon Gaesumun looked at Li Jing, said nothing, turned around and drove his horse away.
…
Yeon Gaesumun's army retreated, and a siege ended in failure, leaving only a few hundred corpses under Cangzhou City.
Yeon Gaesumun was very irritable when he returned to the camp.
He still can't figure out why the broken city gate in Cangzhou is so strong.
Yeon Gaesumun, the soldier who came back to attack the city gate, also looked at it and saw that every one of them had severe shock injuries on their arms.
It's absolutely impossible that they didn't try their best.
But even so, it still failed to shake the city gate in the slightest.
"What's going on?" Yuengai Suwen looked at the generals under his command with an ugly look on his face.
They had won so many times before, and even killed Qin Qiong, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty. The situation that should have been overwhelming and overwhelming was now blocked by a city gate?
How could Yeon Gae So-moon not be angry?
But none of the generals under his command knew what happened. They all remained silent and lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking. ??
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yeon Gaesumun was even more annoyed.
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw someone opening the tent door and walking in.
"What are you doing?" Yuengai Suwen looked at Hou Junji with an unhappy look on his face.
During the siege today, Hou Junji actually complained to him about his illness.
If it were normal, forget it. The key point is that today's siege was severely humiliated by the opponent.
How could Yeon Gae So-moon be in a good mood now?
"Commander, I heard that the Cangzhou city gate cannot be knocked down today. Is this possible?" Hou Junji and Yuan Gaisuwen asked.
Yeon Gaesumun frowned, then sneered and said, "Why, Mr. Hou came here to make fun of me?"
The other generals also looked at Hou Junji with unkind expressions at this moment.
As long as he says something to make fun of people like himself, he will definitely be punished immediately.
Hou Junji smiled and said, "Commander, don't you want to know why the Cangzhou city gate can't be opened no matter how hard you hit it?"
Yuan Gaisuwen's face was cold and he looked at Hou Junji closely.
All the generals had their hands on their weapons at this moment.
"The commander-in-chief doesn't know. As early as when I was still in Chang'an, Zhao Chen made something called cement in Wannian County."
"If my guess is correct, there is already a large amount of cement blocking behind the Cangzhou City Gate."
"The soldiers can't hit it. The thickness of the cement is probably less than a foot thick."
"And this cement plus other gravel is better than ordinary
The city walls are much stronger. "
"So if you want to break open the city gate, you have to push the entire city wall." Hou Junji explained to Yeon Gaesumun with a smile.
Of course, Yeon Gae Su-moon had never heard of cement.
But when he heard that it was Zhao Chen who did it again, his face became even more ugly.
Last time, it was because of Zhao Chen that tens of thousands of his soldiers were burned to death by a fire.
The key is that it was just a plan that Zhao Chen came up with for Li Jing.
What about this time?
What kind of cement was used to directly block the city gate?
Let them be completely unable to break through the city gate!
"Why won't that Zhao Chen die?" Yuengai Suwen said angrily, his eyes unable to stop the murderous expression.
Hou Junji shook his head.
He also wants Zhao Chen to die, but he is still alive!
All the generals also took their hands away from their weapons, thinking that they would be at a loss this time by Zhao Chen who was not present.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Commander, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack Cangzhou City from the outside."
"Even if we use human lives, I don't know how many people will be killed or injured, and we may not be able to capture the city."
"So I suggest that we attack them from the inside." Hou Junji and Yuengai Suwen were talking and took out a letter from their arms.
Yeon Gaesumun took the letter, but did not open it immediately. He waited for Hou Junji's explanation.
"This letter is from Li Tai to me. He wants to negotiate peace with the commander-in-chief." Hou Junji explained.
"Negotiating peace?" Yuengai Suwen was a little stunned.
He opened the letter in his hand and read it.
"How credible is this letter?" Yuengai Suwen read the letter, put it on the table, and asked Hou Junji.
Although the letter only talked about peace talks, Yeon Gae So-moon could still put forward conditions.
Of course, this depends on the letter being credible.
