Li Shimin couldn't help being furious, but he also knew that this was not the time to scold the other party for being shameless, so he turned his horse's head and retreated.

"Shoot the arrow! Shoot him!" At this moment, the white-haired veteran Yi Fen Liu, who was still blind and deaf, pointed at the city and roared.

And those strong marksmen who were specially summoned by him gritted their teeth and shot again...

At the moment when the first arrow hit Li Shimin's iron armor and made a sound, Zhao Kun still didn't understand.

The other party clearly arranged sharp archers on the top of the city, and wanted to use such means to plot against His Majesty.

Zhao Kun, who was only half a horse away from Li Shimin, immediately held up the round shield, blocking the gap between Li Shimin and Baichaokou City.

The expressions of all the guards changed, Xue Rengui, who could be called the sharpshooter among the sharpshooters, had already raised the flintlock gun in his hand almost at the moment Zhao Kun raised his shield.

The trigger was pulled at about the same speed as usual, accompanied by a clear and loud gunshot.

Seeing the Goguryeo white-haired general who opened his mouth and roared, Xue Rengui seemed to have received a heavy blow head-on, and he fell backwards directly.

"Li Laoliu!" Xue Rengui's gaze had already shifted to the Goguryeo archer whose expression began to change, and he growled.

Hearing Xue Rengui's yell, Li Laoliu, the brigade commander of the Musketeer Battalion who had already raised his musket, handed over his flintlock without hesitation.

Xue Rengui took the gun in his hand, put himself in the shooting position, and briskly pulled the trigger, and there was another clear gunshot.

A red dot appeared on the forehead of the Goguryeo archer, and then he leaned back violently...

The soldiers of the Datang Musketeer Cavalry Battalion, who had already reacted, aimed and fired at the top of the city.

In an instant, gunshots erupted, and puffs of white smoke flashed in the eyes of the people above and below the city.

At such a distance, the Goguryeo defenders standing on the top of the city are like perfect targets for the Musketeers who have been trained on the sand city.

And it was just a round of shooting, and it directly swept across this section of the city wall and passed a hundred Goguryeo soldiers.

After the Goguryeo defenders finally came to their senses, they bent down and retreated behind the female wall.

And when Li Shimin turned his horse's head and galloped back, he heard the clear and piercing gunshot.

Subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the city, just in time to see the scene where the white-haired veteran fell on his back and disappeared behind the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin would have wanted to applaud Xue Rengui's quick response if it wasn't for the wrong time and place.

But at this time, following the sound of gunfire one after another, there was not even a single Goguryeo soldier showing his head on the top of the city.

Either they fell to the ground with casualties, or they took the initiative to retreat to the rear to avoid.

#####

"Raise the flag and let them open fire. We must make this gang of Goguryeo thieves who dare to deceive me pay the price."

Accompanied by Li Shimin's roar, when the blood-red flag was raised from Zhao Kun's hand.

Soon, there was a sound of rolling thunder from the artillery position in the distance, and then, those shells fell towards the Baichakou City like a torrential rain.

The first thing to come was the solid bullets fired by the artillery, which hit the city wall, and accompanied by the smoke and dust, made hideous deep pits on the city wall.

And what followed was the thunder cannon shells that slowly fell after drawing an arc.

First, a ray of white light flashed past, and then, that earth-shaking roar echoed directly between the heaven and the earth.

Looking at the rising and falling mushroom clouds in the city of Baichaokou.

Li Shimin, who had already returned to the army of the Tang Dynasty, let out a breath of anger in his chest.

If you dare to ambush me, then let you have a good taste of the power of the artillery produced by my son-in-law.

However, the sudden encounter just now made Li Shimin couldn't help turning his head, and slightly nodded towards Xue Rengui.

His eyes swept over the Musketeers who had reloaded and returned to the alert state again.

He couldn't help but speak to the important officials around him.

"Before, I always felt that the range of this musket is not as good as that of a cannon, and its power is not as good as that of a grenade. It is really tasteless."

"But the tactics used by Cheng Sanlang in the battle in that unnamed town before, plus the battles since these days."

"I finally understand, that boy Cheng Sanlang, why he attaches so much importance to this musket."

Hearing this remark, all the military officials nodded in agreement.

And Qibi Heli, who is very good at attacking the enemy with a small amount of cavalry, said with a look of envy on his face.

"I feel that if there are thousands of riders and sufficient ammunition, they can move freely and horizontally, and the entire grassland will be difficult to stop them."

Although Qibiheli's words were suspected of being flattering, it was undeniable that this kind of Musketeer cavalry had a range far beyond that of bows and arrows.

If they reach a certain number, those nomadic warriors on the grassland who are skilled in arching horses will only have to kneel when they meet them.

At this moment, Yuan Gai Suwen, who was standing on the east bank of the Yalu River, looked at the clouds of smoke rising above the Baijiakou City on the west bank of the Yalu River.

As well as the shocking explosion, the complexions of Yuan Gai Suwen and a group of Goguryeo civil and military personnel all turned ashen-white as if they had been limewashed for a while.

"I don't know if the old general succeeded..." A voice sounded not far away.

"Let's take a look first. If it succeeds, it will at least give me more time in Goguryeo..."

"The Tang Dynasty is really too powerful. How can their weapons be matched by manpower..."

Yuan Gai Suwen heard those whispers, and when his eyes swept over, everyone shut their mouths in fear.

Yuan Gai Suwen withdrew his gaze, looked towards the west bank of the Yalu River and said in a deep voice.

"The Daoist envoy, Yi, has made great contributions to the country. From now on, he will be appointed as Yu Zhe (second-class high-ranking official in Goguryeo)."

"Decree, order all the cities to strengthen the city defenses, no matter what the cost, be sure to at least double the thickness of all the city walls of my Goguryeo..."

As Yuangai Suwen issued orders one by one, a group of Goguryeo civil and military soldiers took orders and left.

After Yuan Gai Suwen stood there for a long time in a daze, he walked towards the mount with somewhat staggering steps...

Ma Zhou and Li Jing wandered towards Liaodong City. To be honest, Li Jing was not willing to go to Liaodong City.

After all, I am an elder and a father, so how could I take the initiative to meet that evil person who won't be able to stay home for a year or so once he slips away.

It's just that I have to go to Liaodong City because I have a responsibility.

It was mainly His Majesty's worry, and Li Jing also felt that it was quite reasonable, so he happily led the army with Nama Zhou.

Because there were 3,000 prisoners of war escorted in the team, the speed was naturally not too fast, and it took a full four days to arrive at the outskirts of Liaodong City.

Cheng Sanlang, who had received the news a long time ago, and Li Deju rushed to meet him ten miles away from the city.

"Brother De Prize, why are you nervous?"

Cheng Chubi was looking ahead, but found that Li Dezhen beside him was scratching his skin and was out of shape, so he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Am I nervous?" Li Deju retorted subconsciously.

"Little brother, I also think that you are a little nervous, Brother De Prize, isn't it because you are afraid of being beaten by your father?"

Qin Huaidao, the young man tilted his head and looked over.

Hearing these words, Li Dezhen, who was in his early thirties, had a stalk in his heart and was about to speak.

Then Qin Huaidao has already talked on his own.

"Isn't it? This isn't in Luoyang, and I'm waiting beside you to watch the fun. If your father really beats you up, it would be too embarrassing for you."

Fang Jun on the side also nodded in agreement.

"What's the big deal, we brothers, who hasn't been beaten by daddy?"

"Yes, yes, yes... My father kicked me when he got angry a few days ago."

Qin Huaidao calmly recounted the dark history of being kicked by his father.

His tone and demeanor were peaceful, as if he was describing the breakfast he had this morning, which consisted of a large glass of goat milk and egg noodles.

"But I didn't expect that Fang Xiang, who never seemed to blush with anyone, would actually beat someone up."

"Hehe...that's just in front of outsiders..."

Fang Jun raised his head, looking at Cheng Sanlang gloating at his misfortune with a look of unbearable memories of the past.

"..." Li Dezhen, who was already in his early thirties, squinted at these cheeky brothers.

At this time, there was already billowing smoke and dust in front of him, and Li Dezhen, who had just been disturbed by the topic of the father beating the child mentioned by Qin Huaidao, couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

In the past, when I was away from home for a long time, before returning home, I would quietly send someone to inform my mother.

As long as there is a mother by my father's side, at most my father will curse a few words and kick her feet, and the ceremony of entering the mansion will be considered complete.

But his mother was not there, which made Li Deju feel very insecure, but his father is also a good-looking person, so he shouldn't.

In Li Deju's uneasiness, he saw his own father, Li Jing, riding his horse at the front of the team.

While Li Deju saw his father, he also saw his father's sharp knife-like eyes falling on him.

Immediately, his legs gave way, he subconsciously rolled off the saddle, and fell to the ground reverently in the direction of his own father.

"..." Cheng Sanlang and other old brothers saw that Li Dezheng was silent, so they quietly got off the horse and knelt directly to the ground.

The movements are proficient and silky. It was really jaw-dropping, as soon as I looked up, I saw the stern-faced Datang Army God coming on horseback.

Needless to say, this brother De Prize must have been beaten up by his own father in the past, otherwise he would not have knelt down so fast.

Hitting the horse up~lightnovelpub.net~ turned over and got off the horse, Cheng Sanlang and other juniors all bowed to Li Weigong obediently.

Li Jing twitched the corners of his lips at the gang of nephews and juniors, and then he patted the horsewhip in his hand and walked towards Li Dezheng.

"The unfilial son has seen his father..." Seeing that his father's two big feet were no more than two steps away from him, Li Dezhen, who lowered his head, hurriedly said loudly.

Li Jing was about to open his mouth to denounce this wicked person who had traveled thousands of miles and returned to Datang after such a long time in spite of his family's objections.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cheng Sanlang's group of demon moths staring at their eyes energetically, with an expression of watching the show.

This made the Great Tang Military God's old face darken, feeling the murderous aura of this Great Tang Military God, Cheng Sanlang and others hurriedly looked around, as if nothing had happened.

Li Jing sighed helplessly, and yelled at Li De Prize angrily.

"If you don't get up yet, why don't you want the old man to help you, this evil obstacle."
