The dark clouds in the sky are getting heavier and heavier. Even those who do not understand astronomy can see that it will snow soon. However, on this morning, the north wind suddenly stopped and even began to blew the south wind. Although the wind was not strong, it was indeed the south wind.

"The whole army gathered to prepare to attack the city!" With Qin Qiong's order, 30,000 Tang soldiers were immediately ready to attack the city, and Li Xiu, Cheng Yaojin and others also climbed Mount Marutou again. They saw that the city of Marutou, which was circling in the clouds, seemed to have a little more murderous aura than before.

The Goguryeo people in Maruto also noticed the abnormal movements in the Tang army and immediately reported them to the son of Quangai Suwen, which made them immediately arrive at the top of the city, observing the movements of the Tang army while ordering the entire army to prepare for defense.

"Father, it's about to snow. The Tang army will not be able to hold it in at this time, so we have to fight to the death, right?" Quan Nanjian looked at the murderous Tang army opposite, and then said incredible. Since the Tang army tentatively attacked once last time, there has been no movement. Even if they took the initiative to go out of the city to attack, they wanted to see if they could take back the mountain road, and the other was to anger the Tang army, but the other party still had no reaction.

It was so cloudy today, and the north wind that had been blowing for a few days suddenly stopped. Anyone who is familiar with the climate knows that in this case, if the wind stops, it actually means that it will snow soon. This made Quangai Suwen and his son very happy. They even hoped that the snow would fall a little bigger, and it would be best to block the road. At that time, the Tang army in the domestic city had no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. Let's see how they survived this winter?

But what the Quan family and his son did not expect was that the Tang army actually chose to attack the city at this time, but Quan Gai Suwen was not nervous at all at this time. He smiled calmly and said, "If I were the chief general of the Tang army, I would probably seize this last opportunity and fight to the death, but the final result would probably disappoint them!"

Just as Quan Gai Suwen finished speaking, she suddenly saw a huge object rising from the Tang army in front of her. The Goguryeo people who had experienced a long time ago were not surprised by this. Quan Nanjian said in surprise: "Why did the Tang army raise hot balloons at this time? Do they still want to observe the situation in the city?"

Quan Gai Suwen also showed a solemn expression at this time. It was not the first time he had a good relationship with the Tang army. Generally, when the war first, the Tang army would send hot air balloons to the sky to observe and know, but when the war was really in effect, the hot air balloons would not play much role at all, so it was really strange that the Tang army actually sent hot air balloons at this time.

"This hot balloon seems to be much larger than the ones that Tang Jun used to use?" At this moment, Quan Nanjian said to himself again, which also reminded Quan Gai Suwen. He felt a little different when he saw the hot balloon just now. Now he realized that this hot balloon is indeed larger, at least two or three times larger than before.

After Tang Jun's hot steam balloons took off, they began to slowly float towards the gate of Marudu City. Quanga Suwen looked at the hot steam balloons getting closer and closer, and felt a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Moreover, Tang Jun's hot steam balloons were also a little strange today, because they flew very low, about dozens of feet. Although ordinary bows and arrows could not shoot that high, there were mountains around them, and it was still dangerous to fly so low.

"What is Tang Jun doing? Send a hot steam balloon to the top of our heads. Is it because I want someone to jump out of the hot steam balloon and knock down our city gate?" Quan Nanjian raised his neck and looked at the hot steam balloon above his head. He also showed a joking expression. Although the hot steam balloon was bigger than what he had seen before, he would only carry a few more soldiers if he had to die, and it would be impossible to pose any threat to them.

Quan Gai Suwen was also observing the hot balloon above his head at this time, but he soon found that the hot balloon was parked in the air very strangely, not on top of their heads, but above the two forts in front of the door, which made him realize that something was wrong, especially when he saw the two suspended bridges connected to the city wall behind the fortress, he even showed a horrified expression and shouted: "No, their target is the suspended bridge!"

Quan Gai Suwen discovered Tang Jun's intention, but it was too late at this time. As soon as he said that, several soldiers immediately emerged from the basket of hot balloons above his head, and then threw the ignited turtle oil tanks towards the suspended bridge behind the fortress. These people were specially selected by the army. They had been training for a few days before, and they were very accurate in throwing things. Even if some turtle oil tanks fell to the bridge deck at the beginning, a few of them fell on the bridge deck behind them.

The turbulent oil tanks are made of stone pot, with a large belly and a small mouth. The mouth of the tank is stuffed with oil cloth. When used, the turbulent oil cloth will be thrown out. The pot can fall to the ground and explode. The turbulent oil is immediately ignited. For a moment, the entire bridge deck is covered with flames, especially the wooden boards on the bridge, which are quickly burned into a ball, and even the traction iron chains are burned red.

As the two suspended bridges were ignited, the fortresses on the two peaks in front of the city gate temporarily lost contact with the city wall. Then the Tang army launched an attack on the city gate under the command of Qin Qiong. This time it was not the tentative attack of the last time, but the real general attack. Various siege equipment lined up, and the catapults and crossbows were all aimed at the fortresses on the two peaks. The siege cars below pushed forward desperately, even the rain of arrows from the Goguryeo people could not stop them from stepping.

Both peaks are very steep, but the area on the top of the mountain is not large. The behind and stored materials in the fortress are also very limited. Usually, the city walls are required to continuously transport the required materials to the fortress. Now the hanging bridge is cut off by the fire, and the fortress and the city wall have lost contact. Not only is the supplies unable to be replenished, but people are also confused. In addition, the fierce attack of the Tang army made them even more confused and they were unable to take care of themselves for a while, let alone stopping the Tang army below.

Without threats from the mountains on both sides, the Tang army finally rushed to the city gate with the rain of arrows on the top of the city. At this time, the Goguryeo people were also crazy and threw all kinds of wooden and rocks down without any money in order to prevent the Tang army from approaching the city gate. However, the Tang army was also red in sight at this time. Seeing the city gate in sight, Qin Qiong sent troops forward regardless of casualties. Finally, a team rushed to the city gate, and then a turtle cart sent the siege tube to the city gate.

"Add defense!" Quan Gai Suwen was shocked and anxious when he saw the Tang army reaching the city gate. Then he shouted and ran down the city himself, commanding the army to set up defense lines behind the city gate, because he knew that as long as the Tang army reached the city gate, it would mean that the city gate could not be saved.

With a loud "boom~", the main gate of Marudu City was also shattered. I don't know how much gunpowder the Tang army used this time. Even though Quan Gai Suwen had already asked someone to block the city gate hole with stones, it was also exploded at this time. Then the Tang army climbed over the pile of rocks and rushed into the city.

"The city gate has been broken. Those who kill Quangasuwen are granted a marquis and reward a thousand gold medals!" Qin Qiong also shouted excitedly when he saw the city gate being exploded. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Moreover, with the importance of Quangasuwen now, such rewards are nothing.

Before being blocked outside the Marundu City, the Tang army was already full of anger. At this time, he heard that the court had a heavy reward, so he naturally took the lead. Teams of Tang army entered the city, and some people even began to climb up the city from the city and fought with the Goguryeo people on the city. This shows that the Tang army had opened a gap at the city gate, and there were even debris at the city gate to facilitate the army to enter the city.

The battle for the city gate continued until noon. As the Tang army continued to enter the city, the Goguryeo people at the city gate finally began to retreat. However, Quan Gai Suwen was unwilling to fail and still laid layers of defense in the city. It was not easy for the Tang army to enter.

After controlling the city gate, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin also came to the battle formation in person, commanding the army to rush along the streets, trying to clear the defense line of the Goguryeo people. At this time, Qin Qiong also spent a lot of money. All the firearms and turbulent oil tanks were used in the general's reserve. Whenever they encountered the defense line of the Goguryeo people, they would throw firearms over first, and even start throwing turbulent oil tanks to burn the house. Because some Goguryeo people hid in the house and attacked the Tang army, causing considerable casualties to the Tang army.

Under such circumstances, a fire quickly ignited in Marudu City. The ancient capital of the Goguryeo people once again ushered in a heavy disaster. There were fleeing Goguryeo people everywhere. After all, not only did the Goguryeo army in this city, but there were also some ordinary people living in the battlefield. However, the Tang army was not careful about this. Moreover, the massacre of the city in the foreign wars of the Tang army was very common, especially the butcher Cheng Yaojin, who did not care about the life and death of these ordinary people.

Li Xiu was not used to the blood and cruelty on the battlefield, so at the beginning, he did not enter the city. However, as time went by, seeing that the sun had set westward, the battle in the city was still not over, which made him feel anxious. Although all the good news came from the city, it was dark after all. If he could not occupy the whole city during the day, another bitter battle might come to an evening.

Li Xiu's worries eventually became reality. The battle in the city continued until night and did not end. However, at this time, Qin Qiong also began to change from attack to defense. Because the Tang army was not familiar with the terrain in the city, the sky was too dark at night and it was easy to be attacked by the enemy. Therefore, he also began to shrink his defense line and consolidate the area he had occupied. As long as he survived tonight, tomorrow would be Quan Gai Suwen's death.
