Chapter 346: Our Lives Are in Your Hands

Yang Wanchun said loudly: "Shut up! One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. I, Yang Wanchun, will never be in the company of a shameless villain like you. You are greedy for merit and rashly killed, killing my Goguryeo 100,000 army, that is the elite of my Goguryeo, you didn't even fight in a battle, how can you be worthy of the Lord, how can you be worthy of the people of Goguryeo. ”

Saying that, the pain in Yang Wanchun's heart couldn't help it, and he actually cried out in the city: "The lord doesn't know who to use, how can you bring troops to help with wine bags and rice bags?" ”

"Yang Wanchun, don't pretend to be a loyal minister and filial son there, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and everyone knows the details." No matter how shameless Gao Yanshou was ridiculed by Yang Wanchun in front of hundreds of thousands of people, he couldn't stand it: "You have occupied Anshi City for many years, and you have already regarded it as your own home, so you will not surrender." He also said that for the people in the city, hehe, I don't know what is going on in the city? It is estimated that the common people have already handed over all the food, right? ”

Gao Yanshou came to the city today to surrender his name, which is related to his status in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers in the future, so he is completely open-minded: "You have also seen that the Tang Dynasty soldiers are invincible, and the 100,000 troops I led were also wiped out by them, and even the invited Yan cavalry was completely annihilated, and now there are only 100,000 people in your city, and the city will definitely not be able to hold it." ”

He looked like I was for your good, and said bitterly: "The Tang Dynasty wanted to attack the city early this morning, but it was I who persuaded him with great difficulty, we are all clansmen, and I want more people to survive." If the Son of Heaven is angry, the city of Anshi will definitely turn into powder, and the people and defenders in the city will suffer heavy casualties, so don't blame me for being unpredictable. ”

"You want to show in front of the new master that you want to use our Anshi City as a bargaining chip, phew, don't dream." Yang Wanchun said loudly: "Isn't the Tang army invincible, let them come, isn't it gunpowder, we saw it last time, and that's it." I still want to conquer my Goguryeo, and I want the Tang army to shed its last drop of blood under the city of Anshi. ”

The persuasion was ineffective, the two of them scolded each other on the city wall and dispersed, Gao Yanshou returned to the Tang Army's tent, saw Li Shimin blushed and said: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister has not succeeded in persuading Yang Wanchun to surrender, this guy has regarded Anshi City as his family's property, so he will never give it up." ”

"It's better to succeed, but it's better not to work. I just don't want to see casualties among the people of Goguryeo. Li Shimin said pretendly, and then looked at Gao Yanshou who was worried in his heart and smiled: "Since Yang Wanchun refuses to surrender, then this credit is gone." I will make you Hongluqing, and when the war is over, go back to Datang with us. ”

"We're thanking you, Lord Longen!" Gao Yanshou is overjoyed, although this position is a Qingshui Yamen, but the grade is high, how to say that it is also an official position of the fourth grade, this is the fourth grade of the Tang Dynasty, which is much more valuable than the official position of Goguryeo.

casually used an empty title to send Gao Yanshou away, Li Shimin said: "Prepare for the siege tomorrow." ”

The generals agreed, and the arrival of grenades and gunpowder filled them with confidence in victory.

Li Dongsheng was brought to Li Ji, looked at the tired Li Ji and saluted: "British duke, your face is not good, you should pay attention to rest." ”

"How did you rest?" Li Ji pinched his brow with his fingers: "The city will be attacked tomorrow, and how many things need to be coordinated." This siege is going to blow up the city gates with gunpowder, and now the firearms battalion is gone, only you know, tomorrow you will lead the team to blow up the city walls. "Lazy people listen to books

"Me?" Li Dongsheng pointed to his nose and said, "British duke, I am a jinshi and a civil official. Why can't I go to war? ”

"There is no way, only you know the gunpowder best, and I won't hide it from you about the current situation, although our army annihilated 130,000 enemy troops, but there is not much grain and grass, and the only way to maintain our army now is to break through Anshi City and collect grain on the spot, otherwise the battle of Ping-Goguryeo will be a failure, and Your Majesty and we will return with hatred." Li Ji looked at him sincerely: "It's all up to you now, only if you blow up the city gate, we can have hope." ”

"yes, we're not going to do it anymore." A weak voice came from the corner of the wall, Li Dongsheng really didn't pay attention to a person lying there, turned around and saw that it was Cheng Biting Jin, who was the same as the mummy, and he said weakly: "Virtuous nephew, I will tell you a word by relying on the old man, and now our lives are in your hands." ”

Li Dongsheng looked at him carefully for a while, and then said, "How come?" Where is it so serious. ”

"What do you think, in this operation, I was first attacked by the Goguryeo people, and the soldiers were defeated, and then the battalion was attacked by the camp, and the losses were heavy, this is Zhang Jian is responsible, and the logistics battalion guarded by Xue Wanche was attacked by the Yan cavalry, and the grain and grass were burned, if we didn't desperately annihilate them all, it is estimated that we have met under the Yellow Spring now."

Coughing twice, Cheng bit Jin and said, "Although I'm old, I really don't want to die." Think about it, I only took two concubines before I came to Goguryeo, and if I die, I don't know who will be cheaper. ”

Hearing Cheng bite Jin say this, Li Dongsheng could only bite the bullet and say: "That's not difficult, just fill the gunpowder and light it." However, I was only responsible for blowing the gates open, and I really couldn't do the rest. ”

"Okay, okay, as long as we can blow up the walls, we'll take care of the rest." Li Ji slapped his hand, and Xue Wanche Niu Jinda and Li Daozong all came in: "If the city wall collapses and you can't take Anshi City, we people will no longer have the face to face you." ”

The sky in the east just showed a hint of red, the Tang army's camp came out of the rumbling war drums, Niu Jinda led the 50,000 army out of the camp gate, and opened a formation under the city of Anshi, and Goguryeo on the head of the city of Anshi was also in a strict formation, the wall was full of people, Yang Wanchun personally went to the city wall to supervise the battle, and another bloody siege was about to break out.

"Dongsheng, aren't you nervous?" Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Dongsheng under a thickened, widened and lengthened siege vehicle and asked.

Li Dongsheng glanced at him angrily: "What can I do if I am nervous, I am still deceived by you." ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed: "It's not a last resort, if there is a little way, I won't pretend to be sick." He watched Li Dongsheng put armor on himself one by one, and asked with concern: "Wearing so much, is the road still moving?" ”

Niu Jinda gave an order, the heavily armed Tang army began to approach Anshi City, the siege vehicle was in front, the crossbowmen followed behind, as soon as they entered the range of the bow and crossbow, suddenly the sky was blocked by the rain of arrows, and from time to time someone screamed and was shot, and then the people behind picked up and continued to shoot this cruel counterpoint.
