Although Gao Yimo was safe and sound, he was greatly shocked in his heart. Although he was also wearing armor, the Arrows s of the Han Chinese army were strong enough to shoot through armor at close range. However, at this time, he could not panic to escape. He gathered his courage and shouted: ”archer, shoot an arrow! Shoot them! ”
The archer s immediately shot out their bows and the Chinese cavalry was not to be outdone. Both sides' archer s immediately shot into the other side, causing Arrows s to fill the sky.
The Gauzeli soldier were all standing on top of the city walls, so they were not able to continuously fire out arrows in formation like the Han army, they only relied on their soldiers' speed and endurance to persevere. Finally, after a few rounds of arrows shooting, the Gaoguanli's archer's strength gradually decreased, and the frequency of arrows shooting also slowed down.
The archers of the Han army seized this opportunity and started to suppress the enemies of the city. With a burst of archery rain s shooting down, the archers of the Gaoguanli s had no choice but to hide in ambush, avoiding the overwhelming archery rain. Taking this opportunity, the Han army's siege army rushed over.
National Phase Li Kuan was indeed sick, but he had a heart attack. Ever since he had decided to join the Han army, his heart had been in his throat. After thinking about it, he decided to pretend to be sick and send someone to the palace to report his illness.
Last night, he called back his two sons, Li Na, with the excuse of being sick, and told them that he was prepared to join the Han Army. Who would have thought that their two sons were also sensible people? Of course, they wouldn't oppose their father. The father and son duo had planned out all the details on the spot.
Although his two sons weren't very senior officials, they were both in the important departments. His eldest son, Li Na, was a general guarding the southern gate and had more than three thousand soldiers under his command. His youngest son, Li Yuan, was a general patrolling the Imperial City and had more than a thousand soldiers under his command. With these people, he could completely control the situation in the city.
After knowing that the King Koguryo had reached the city walls, he immediately began to move. He got Li Ping to bring over a hundred servants from the Prime Minister's Office to wear the clothes of commoners, and carry the small cart to carry the hawkers, approaching the Imperial City in twos and threes, and spread out around the Imperial City.
At noon, Li Ping got up from the carriage and issued the attack order. The servants scattered around Imperial City suddenly took out bows and arrows, and arches filled with fire oil Arrows s, and shot towards Imperial City. In the blink of an eye, the palace was on fire.
”Catch the traitor!” Catch the traitor! ”
According to their previous plans, when Li Yuan, who was on patrol on the streets saw the fire, he immediately led his soldiers and rushed towards the palace. The pedestrians on the street dodged one after another, and in a short while, they had arrived at the palace.
”Brothers, kill …”
Li Yuan shouted as he led his soldiers to charge into the palace. None of his soldiers knew what was going on, or who was the traitor. When the high-ranking officer ordered them to kill, they would follow him in and kill with a single slash.
The Janissary Guard guarding the palace were the elite troops of the Gaoguanli, but they did not have many of them, and some of them had already accompanied the King Koguryo to the city walls. As they were fighting the fire, they were also shouting for the anti-thief s to catch them. Who would have thought that Gaoguanli's army would suddenly rush over, the other side did not even bother replying, and just started slaughtering everything.
”Lord General, the King is here to inspect the city's defenses. The other generals are going to accompany him, why aren't you going?” Li Na's assistant general went up to him and whispered in his ear: ”This is a good chance to show off. If you help the King block this arrow, the King will definitely be happy, and maybe even get promoted to your position on the spot!”
”Sigh …” My father is ill and I am in a bad mood. If the King sees it, I'm afraid the King will blame it. ” Li Na frowned, he sighed, and turned to walk towards the city gate. Furthermore, our mission is to defend the city gate and leave the city gate without permission.
”Oh …” Minister of State is not well, why is Lord General not serving in the palace? ” The deputy general's face was full of smiles as he quickly said in a flattering manner. If you trust me, Lord General, I can stand guard here for you and you can go back to your residence. ”
”No need, my father has someone to attend to him.” Li Na waved his hand and continued walking towards the city gate. He was very clear in his heart that this Lieutenant General was eager to get promoted and had been looking for an opportunity to curry favor with his superior. ”You watch from the walls. I'll go check the entrance.” ”Okay.” ”
The assistant general turned his head and looked at King Koguryo on the city wall and shook his head in disappointment. If the Lord General went, he could also follow, but if the Lord General didn't go, he could only watch with his eyes.
”Fire …”
”Fire …”
”Fire …”
Suddenly he heard someone shouting. He quickly turned his head and saw the chaos on the street. The fire in the direction of the palace was blazing high into the sky, and he could not help but cry out in alarm: ”Lord General, it's bad, the palace is on fire!”
”What?” What are you shouting for? ” Li Na who was walking towards the city gate quickly ran back, raised his head, and sure enough, there was a fire in the direction of the palace. He tightened his grip on the large saber in his hand and turned around to speak to the deputy general. ”Quickly go and report to the king. I'll guard this place.”
