Yang Lin shook his head and laughed bitterly: "Thunderbolt Bomb isn't omnipotent. It can blast apart a normal city wall, but with such a thick city wall, if we were to just throw some explosives at the walls, there is nothing we can do about it. The mountain slope is too long, we cannot set up a catapult, and we cannot throw Thunderbolt Bomb onto the city wall. "

The power of the gunpowder right now was not very strong. Making a small bomb, exploding Barbarian's mountain stronghold and castles were not difficult things, but to destroy a thick and solid wall was a little too much for him. He was not sure that a wall built on top of a mountain ridge would be able to explode.

"Lord General, you must be joking! I thought that Thunderbolt Bomb was able to blow up all the walls!" Hearing Yang Lin's words, the Zhang Banxian became anxious. He hurriedly asked: "Lord General, if we do not use explosives, how many soldiers would we have to suffer if we were to try to forcibly take over the Linjiang Pass?"

"It's not like there's no other way!" Seeing the anxious look on the Zhang Banxian's face, Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh. With regards to modern weapons, Zhang Banxian only had a vague idea of how to use them. Yang Lin pointed at the city walls and laughed: "If we can create a big hole on the walls of the Linjiang Pass and place the explosives inside the hole, then we can ensure that the city walls are destroyed."

"Oh …" That's a good idea. " Zhang Banxian heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face. Digging a hole in the city wall had always been a good method of attacking cities since ancient times. If they dug a hole in the city wall with explosives, then they would be absolutely safe, even the gods would not be able to save Gaoguellian.

But just at this time, a group of Gaoguanli cavalry generals ran over and pointed at Yang Lin and the others. When the Zhang Banxian saw this, he said thoughtfully, "Lord General, there are so many soldiers guarding the Linjiang Pass, how can we make a big hole in front of the Gaoguellian?"

"That's what I'm worried about. There are too many soldiers in the garrison, so our soldiers won't have the chance to attack them." Yang Lin helplessly shook his head, and said with a bitter face: "Gaoguellian is so extravagant, defending a Linjiang Pass, actually sending over a hundred thousand troops, they are really willing to put forth their capital!"

"From the information that we have, Gaoguellian is indeed crazy. The entire Gaoguanli only has a population of more than two million, but they have recruited more than three hundred thousand young and strong soldiers. Adding in their one hundred thousand regular army, their total number of soldiers has reached more than four hundred thousand! " Zhang Banxian laughed and said sinisterly: "Lord General, if we destroy or capture these four hundred thousand Gauzeli soldier, from now on, Gaoguanli is finished."

"Not really. Thinking back to when Prince Fuyu Gao Zhu Meng fled to Gaoguanli alone, there were no Gaoguellian in this world. It was because of him constantly conquering the surrounding Barbarian Tribes that he had a Gaoguellian. In fact, the Gaoguellian is just like a tribe's melting pot. She is both a farmer and a hunter, but she doesn't have a real Gaoguellian. "" In fact, the Gaoguellian is just like a tribe's melting pot.

In order to conquer the Gaoguellian, Yang Lin had spent a lot of effort to study the Gaoguellian, which also allowed him to discover this strange phenomenon. In the process of development and growth, many tribes were constantly conquering other tribes, snatching the populations of other tribes and merging them into their own tribes. However, they all had a main tribe, while the Gaoguellian did not have a main clan.

"Therefore, not only do we have to eliminate or capture these four hundred thousand Gauzeli soldier s, we also have to continuously take away their remaining strength. We have to completely change their blood in the Gaoguanli, so that they can become Han Chinese. We must not leave behind any future troubles." Under the dim night sky, the world was covered with dark clouds that rolled endlessly in the endless sky. It seemed like there would be snow tomorrow. Occasionally, however, the moving clouds would split apart, revealing a few frozen stars. They blinked mischievously, but soon after, they were hidden behind the clouds, and the night sky turned dark again.

After the fourth fragment of the night, about a thousand steps away from Linjiang Pass stood a densely packed Korean Army Soldiers. Waves of cold wind from the north pierced into their faces like knives, freezing their ears and noses. Snow gently fell on their faces and soon melted into a stream that ran down their cheeks.

Although the soldiers of the three Eastern pawn platoon s were dressed very lightly, they still stood tall in the cold wind. Even though the wind was cold like blades, the Chinese Army Soldiers s had forgotten about the cold. They were all excited and nervous, waiting for Lord General's order.

On top of the Linjiang Pass's city walls, the night watch continued without end, holding either torches or lanterns. From afar, the city walls and soldiers could be seen hiding in the darkness. The endless torches and lanterns hung in the air like a group of ghosts passing through the Shadow Squad.

Yang Lin lifted his head and looked at the thick layer of clouds in the sky. Without a clock, he could not estimate what time it was. Zhang Banxian beside him nodded his head, he then waved towards the soldiers and ordered in a low voice, "Begin the operation!"

At this time, under the enveloping of the night, there were two teams of Korean Army Soldiers s who divided into two teams. These two teams of soldiers were all soldiers of the Alvaro Waldo. The ancestors of the Morvo lived in caves for generations.

The northern troop was led by the Chinese Company Leaders Zhang Quan and Wu Feng, the southern troop was led by Chen Ning and Yang Tian. Soldiers with heads, hammers, iron drills, and many more carried thick planks of wood.

"Enemy attack …"

"Enemy attack …"

"Enemy attack …"

No matter how careful the Korean Army Soldiers was, when they approached the walls of the Linjiang Pass, they were still discovered by him. For a moment, the soldiers on the wall were shouting and shouting, shooting arrows and smashing stones at the city walls. Shouts, screams, and clashing sounds broke the silence of the night.

"Eastern archer, use all your strength to shoot the arrows, cover and attack!"

In order to protect the team that was digging in the walls and digging in the holes, Yang Lin had already ordered the three Eastern pawn platoon s to be prepared. At this time, their sandalwood bow was really effective. More than fifty thousand soldiers stood on the edge of the wall, firing arrows at it.

The two teams of soldiers who were digging the holes in the wall ran to the heels of the walls and lifted the wooden boards above their heads. They first hammered the iron rod into the cracks of the wall, up, down, left, and right of each brick, and then they no longer scratched the iron rod outward.

The Linjiang Pass's walls had been built countless of years ago. The bricks squeezed against each other for a long time, and when they were built that year, they were tightly stuck to each other. In addition to the snow and ice, the walls were frozen hard like iron, which was extremely difficult to dig.

As soon as the Chinese Army Soldiers began digging their way through the hole, the Gauzeli soldier on top of the city walls began to shoot arrows and throw stones. Some of the Arrows s and stones smashed onto the wooden boards and some directly onto the people's bodies.

It was only now that Yang Lin recognized the power of the oriental person's sandalwood bow. More than fifty thousand of them shot out simultaneously, their bows and arrows powerful, the Arrows was like a sudden rain, the sharp arrow edge carrying the howling of the cold wind, fiercely pouncing towards the Linjiang Pass.

The Gauzeli soldier on top of the city walls continued to shoot arrows and fall, some even falling off the city walls. The ferocious Arrows forced Gauzeli soldier to hide inside the city gates, not daring to peek his head out easily. The stones they threw were mostly inaccurate, and the Arrows they shot at did not have a target either. Thus, their power towards the Morvo soldiers who were digging below them was greatly reduced.

Although the oriental person looked hazy as he looked up at the city walls, the lanterns and torches on the walls were very bright, which made it very convenient for the oriental person. As they shot their arrows, they even shouted loudly, causing Yang Lin's ears to almost go numb from the noise.

"All these oriental person s shoot arrows, what are they shouting for? No matter how loud you are, are you trying to make Gaoguellian die? " Yang Lin shook his head helplessly, and muttered to Zhang Banxian who was standing beside him: "Your voice is so loud, my ears are almost unable to bear it."

"Hehe …" oriental person had been bullied by Gaoguanli for too long, the anger in their hearts could even ignite the city walls. However, they had never had the chance to take revenge. They could only bury their hatred deep within their hearts. Now that there's a chance to vent their anger, why aren't they excited? " Zhang Banxian laughed and said happily.

The soldiers who were digging the holes in the wall were split into several groups. Some of them were digging the holes, some were protecting, and some even took turns to rest. They were prepared to replace the brothers who were wounded and dead at any time, and to drag them as far away from Gaoguellian's range as possible. Some of the injured soldiers were ordered to retreat, but before they could retreat far from the city walls, they were shot to death by the beautiful Arrows s.

However, no matter how fierce the stones that were thrown down from the walls were, no matter how sharp the Arrows s that were shot down, no matter how heavy the casualties were, the Korean Army Soldiers s acted as if they did not see anything.

The general of the Gaoguellian was called Gao An, he was a distant nephew of the King Koguryo, and could be considered a member of the royal family. He was very wary of the night raids by the Han army and had made many preparations to protect the city walls. The only thing he did not expect was that the Chinese would dig holes and attack the city.

"Everyone says that the Han people are cunning, but in my opinion, they are nothing more than this!" When he found out that the Han Army was digging a hole in the wall, he could not help but let out a sneer. He waved his hand and coldly snorted, "Come, let's go up to the city. I want to see if the Chinese army can bite off our walls!"

A pass like this one built on a mountain ridge was not only very thick, but the foot of the wall was not as tall as it should be. If he went straight for the hole, it was possible to directly go into the mountain ridge, then there was no hope of it being broken through. If you slanted upwards, even if the door was opened, he would guard the hole and a few more people would be able to get in.

Gao An came to the northern end of the city wall and stamped his head out. He wanted to see the Korean Army Soldiers digging into the wall and drilling holes in it, but suddenly, with a "sou" sound, an arrow came out. A sharp arrow hit his helmet and the red helmet flew out of the city along with the cold wind.

"Damn it!" With an angry curse, he grabbed a rock and smashed it down. Just then, another sharp arrow pierced through the air and he dodged fiercely. The Arrows flew past his head and struck a Gauzeli soldier behind him.
