The attack on the city wall was very smooth, and after the Tang army rushed to the head of the city, they immediately divided their troops to kill in the direction of each city gate, and some of the bold ones killed directly in the city of Anshi. The breaching of the city wall was also a huge blow to the psychology of the Goguryeo people, many people were desperate, and they also gave up resistance, not everyone had the courage to be heroes, especially after seeing the power of the grenades of the Tang army.

However, after the Tang army entered the city, it still encountered strong resistance, and many Goguryeo people gave up resistance, but there were also many people who fought to the death, shouting slogans to ignite themselves and die with the Tang army, because now only this method can make the Tang army suffer the most. Therefore, the Tang army also fell into a brutal street battle, fortunately, the Tang army spontaneously formed a squad, surrounded by people with grenades in the middle, surrounded by spearmen, knife soldiers in the middle, and archers and bombardiers inside.

But after all, Anshi City has made a lot of preparations, they have launched a war against people, and they don't know that a cold arrow will fly from behind the wall, or an oil can will be smashed on them, and then a rocket will ignite. There are also endless traps, if you walk well, you will fall down, and then be poked to death by a bamboo stick.

When it was dark, the Tang army occupied a small part of the city, and the city near the river was crying, and many Goguryeo people were ready to cross the river overnight to escape, Cheng Yanjin looked at the city and said: "Your Majesty, do you want us to send hundreds of cavalry to harass them, I don't know how many people will die in the chaos." ”

Cheng Yanjin's proposal made Li Shimin quite moved, but considering the bad reputation of this matter, he still reluctantly refused: "Forget it, the city has not been completely taken yet, don't make any extraneous branches at this time, if the soldiers and people of Anshi City know that there is no way out, we have to fight with the Goguryeo people who have been closed to a dead end, it is completely unnecessary." ”

It was already completely dark, and the soldiers who had been attacking for a day were exhausted. Li Shimin ordered the offensive to be suspended, and first cleaned up the areas that had been occupied, and the places that had just been occupied had not yet been completely mastered, and some soldiers who had been scattered, as well as those whose homes had been destroyed, whose families had been killed, and angry citizens who had come out from time to time to sneak attack, although the casualties caused were not large, but it also gave the Tang army a headache.

After a night's rest, the Tang army launched an attack again, with the continuous support of the follow-up Tang army, and in the afternoon, even if there were soldiers fighting for their lives in Anshi City, but human flesh still could not withstand the gunpowder, most of the area still fell into the hands of the Tang army, and now the Tang army has attacked unhurriedly, and the Tang army by the river did not send people to intercept it, as long as they were given a glimmer of hope, they would not be desperate.

The first thing the Tang army did after the occupation was to arrest local officials. What are they doing with them? Of course, it is looking for food, Anshi City is ready to resist the Tang Army for half a year, there must be a lot of grain reserves, and the most important thing now is this, after several rounds of beatings, those officials have opened their mouths to explain the addresses of several granaries, and when they opened the warehouse and saw the full grain, they quickly transmitted the news back to the Shuai account.

Li Shimin smiled happily at this time: "It's okay now, I finally don't have to worry about food, and our army can continue to attack again." ”

The ministers were thunderous again, Anshi City was taken, the food crisis was gone, and now the Tang Army is out of danger, and everyone is naturally in a good mood.

At this time, Niu Jinda sent someone to report: "Your Majesty, we have surrounded Yang Wanchun's City Lord's Mansion, I don't know if this old turtle has run away, whether it is to attack or persuade to surrender, please instruct Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin really wanted to go to the scene to see what Yang Wanchun's expression was, but now the city was still in chaos, and the minister resolutely disagreed with him to take the risk. Li Shimin had no choice but to give up, and he said to the heralds: "If we can surrender, it is best not to increase our casualties, if we insist on not surrendering... I don't need such a hard-headed courtier. What he meant was that as long as Yang Wanchun didn't surrender and killed him directly, the province would be annoyed.

When Niu Jinda came to the City Lord's Mansion, it was already very tightly surrounded by the Tang army, and it was impossible to escape from it. Niu Jinda took a look and found that the city lord's mansion was built very tall and strong, and the location of various arrow towers was very reasonable. Qiankun Audiobook.com

"How many people are estimated to be inside?" Niu Jinda squinted his eyes and asked, "Go to someone and say that the Tang Army Lord is coming, and he wants to see Yang Wanchun." ”

"The chief manager, the general estimates that there are only about 3,000 people in it, and no matter how many people there are, they can't fit it." A general arranged for someone to shout, and then reported to Niu Jinda.

"What's the plan of attack?"

"We discussed it for a while, and decided to suppress it with bows and arrows, then throw grenades, and then organize people to climb the wall."

Niu Jinda nodded, this is the only way to do it, attacking tough problems has always been a hard fight, and there is no chance to take advantage of it. At this time, half of his body appeared on the wall, and he shouted: "I am Yang Wanchun of Anshi City, I don't know who the Lord of the Tang Dynasty is?" ”

Niu Jinda stepped forward and said: "I am the bull Jinda of Langya County in the Tang Dynasty, and I ask you a word on behalf of the son of heaven of my family, would you like to surrender?" ”

Yang Wanchun listened to Niu Jinda's words and saluted: "Thank you for the love of the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven for me, I, Yang Wanchun, am a Goguryeo and don't want to be a minister of other countries!" ”

Niu Jinda said: "Lord Yang, the one who knows the times is Junjie. Now that the entire Anshi City has not been taken down by the City Lord's Mansion, your family members are also inside, and there are thousands of soldiers, don't you think about them? ”

Yang Wanchun smiled bitterly: "As my family, since they have enjoyed the wealth and glory brought by this identity, they also have to bear the responsibility of this identity now." General Niu, you and I don't speculate, let's see the truth on the swords and guns. ”

Niu Jinda didn't have a good impression of this Goguryeo city lord who caused heavy casualties to the Tang army, but the Son of Heaven had an order, and he came to convey it, and now the other party said that he was unwilling to surrender, and he was lazy to talk nonsense, and arched his hand and said: "Then please ask Yang City Lord to go first!" ”

Although Yang Wanchun knew Chinese, Niu Jinda's words were still stunned for a while, and after pondering for a while, he realized that he was asked to go first on Huangquan Road, and he laughed: "Okay, then I'll wait for you below!" ”

When Yang Wanchun got off the wall, Niu Jinda stopped the Tang army who was about to charge: "It's all this time, why sacrifice the lives of the soldiers in vain?" Come on, send the oil and trebuchet over, he Yang Wanchun is not tough, I'll give him a fire to burn the city! ”

Hundreds of clay pots were smashed by trebuchets thrown into the City Lord's Mansion, and the liquid contained in them splashed everywhere, and the soldiers and soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion defenders smelled a strange smell, and dozens of veterans asked about the strange smell, and their faces immediately turned white, and they shouted: "This is fire oil!" Dog offal, the Tang army is going to burn us! ”
