    "Boom, boom, boom!" Dugumou threw several grenades continuously towards the steps of the city tower, but this time the grenades were different. This time, Dugumou blocked the lead of the grenade with his hand to prevent the water from falling from the sky.  The lead was doused.  Although the Goguryeo people were able to extinguish the fuse of the flying thunder cannon by watering, the prerequisite was that the fuse of the flying thunder cannon was too long, so they had a chance to extinguish it.  But now the fuse of this grenade is very short, so there is no time to extinguish the grenade before it explodes, so the Goguryeo people are immediately blown away.  "Wow" Three grenades went down, and a dozen Turks were blown up.  And the entire city wall steps were suddenly empty.  Although the steps of the city wall look very wide, they are actually very narrow.  Just a few grenades can completely block these roads.  Goguryeo is very tragic. The defense methods of these city walls are based on the combat methods of the pure cold weapon era in the past.  Originally, they had also considered how they would respond if the enemy's infantry climbed up from the ladder.  However, according to previous tradition, the infantrymen who climbed the ladder did not actually carry crossbows, so they were not afraid of enemy crossbows.  Even if the enemy climbed the ladder and used crossbows, it was impossible for them to use crossbows on the tower. This was a situation where the Goguryeo people had no defense against crossbows.  But I didn't expect that this group of Tang troops could use infantry and artillery coordination to cover the infantry charge and climb the ladder. Moreover, these first batch of charging people actually had a "hidden weapon" that could fire ten arrows in quick succession. As long as there were a few  Ten people holding this kind of Zhuge Liannu can temporarily suppress hundreds of Goguryeo people.  As a result, more and more people can climb up from the ladder and continue to join the ranks of firing crossbows.  The result is obvious. This kind of Zhuge Liannu is very powerful in a narrow place like the city wall.  This method is actually the submachine gun of later generations, which is very powerful at close range.  The enemy cannot be suppressed at all.  However, the conditions required for conventional crossbows are not met, because the distance is too close, and it is not as good as the Zhuge Liannu, which has an effective range of only twenty or thirty meters.  And Jing Wen didn't expect that Zhuge Liannu would be so useful here. This kind of useless invention invented by Zhuge Liang would actually be effective one day.  Especially in close combat, if such a thing is available, it would be quite deceiving.  "City Lord, the Tang army's crossbows are too powerful, and there are also things that can explode. We can't get up at all!" said the Goguryeo soldier.  And Yang Wanchun immediately became furious: "We have to go up even if we can't go up. I'm afraid there are many people behind them! If we can't defeat the first group of them at this time, then we may have to face a steady stream of people next.  There are tens of thousands of Tang troops outside. Do you have the confidence to fight them without the protection of the city wall? " "Yes, I will personally lead the charge!" Soon, a middle-level Goguryeo officer came over and prepared to attack.  Rush above.  But this time they learned a lesson, because they found that the power of this Zhuge Liannu was very small, the range was very short, and it could only kill and injure troops without armor.  The Goguryeo people are now coming over with shields, and then preparing to climb up relying on the shields.  And this shield can be said to have blocked the crossbow, so they are not afraid of Zhuge Liang's repeating crossbow.  "General. The Goguryeo people use shields, what should we do?" a soldier asked Dugumou.  ¡°Humph, it¡¯s still the old way, throw grenades at me!¡± Dugu Mou said.  "General. We don't have many grenades left!" the soldier said.  "You idiot, if we don't resist these Goguryeo people as soon as possible, then we may all be beaten. As for the grenades, when the second group of people climbs the city wall, we will be able to get replenishment. At that time  Don¡¯t we have it already? If we can¡¯t resist their counterattack, how can we come up with the second batch of soldiers? Wouldn¡¯t this be a failure?¡± Dugu Mou said.  "Yes!" Soon, the fire broke out again, and then the grenade was lit.  The fuse mixed with gunpowder burned quickly, and then they threw it down when it was about to explode in less than a second.  "Boom!" The grenade exploded again, and the Goguryeo people were also blown away.  Although the Goguryeo people held shields, in fact, these shields could not block the power of grenades.  This kind of shield is very good against crossbows, but it is very weak against grenades, because the shield is a shield after all and cannot block firearms.  The air wave from the grenade explosion was enough to lift the shields, exposing the Goguryeo soldiers inside.  This is like a walnut. As long as the outer shell is cracked, the walnut kernel inside cannot resist human taste.  "The shield has expired, shoot the arrow quickly"?" Dugu Mou said. "Kachi kachi" There was a sound of a repeating crossbow. Zhuge Liang fired the repeating crossbow again. Those who wanted to climb up the steps to the tower also began to be repelled. "Waste, waste.  !  Come on me quickly, come on me all of them!  Yang Wanchun said angrily. But the Goguryeo soldiers said: "City Lord, you can't do it!"  The steps of this city wall are too narrow, we can't move them!  " The steps of this city wall are too narrow. No matter how many people there are, they can't move. Therefore, even though there are many soldiers in Goguryeo now, the actual area where fire can be exchanged is not large. In fact, this is during the battle.  The contact area is at work, and the formations or formations in ancient wars are also intended to increase the contact area and reduce the contact area. But now in such a narrow corridor, the contact area between the two sides is too small, so the force strength is too small.  It is simply impossible to effectively display the advantage. And in such a small place, whoever can deliver the vitality advantage as quickly as possible means that the balance of the battle will lean towards which side Dugumou will lead at this time.  Because the death squads have Zhuge Liannu, their firepower density is more than ten times greater than that of the Goguryeo people. Although these people are death squads, Jing Wen will not let them die in vain, so all kinds of equipment are given to them.  As long as they can hold it, they can give it to them. This kind of Zhuge Liannu was obtained from the artillery, and now some of it is given to the death squads, so they have many more weapons than the Goguryeo people.  Isn¡¯t his ability great? ¡°Archers, suppress the Tang army on the tower!  Yang Wanchun said angrily.
