When the two sides began to make formal contact, the casualties on both sides increased instantly, and the dense Tang soldiers rushed desperately under the city wall like ants against the rain of arrows, and people were shot like hedgehogs and fell on the road, unable to even make a sound.

Li Dongsheng was wearing cloth armor inside and plate armor from before the firearms battalion outside, hiding under the siege vehicle, looking at the soldiers running desperately outside, he sighed and said: "Throughout the ages, these soldiers have been the worst on the battlefield. ”

Xue Rengui volunteered to protect Li Dongsheng, and he and Daniel Zhang followed him with the guards, agreeing: "Of course." At any given time, it is the people at the bottom who are hurt the most. After a while, he said with emotion: "It was Lantian Hou who gave me this opportunity, so that I don't have to be like them." ”

Li Dongsheng gave him a blank look: "Come less, why don't you be the same as them?" We're not on the way to the walls. I don't know what greets us? ”

Xue Rengui smiled: "We have one more layer of protection than them, and we don't want to fight for that long." A few people chatted under the specially built siege engine, passing off their nervousness. Although Li Dongsheng has also been on the battlefield, it is a completely different experience from this time, so much gunpowder is under the car, if the oil is poured on it, then everyone will go to the sky, as for whether there is a chance to cross again, it is uncertain.

Their cars were slowing down and then stopped out of range of bows and arrows, and many of them pretended to make repairs, which was a deliberate attempt to paralyze the Goguryeo defenders, or to let other siege engines and ladders consume the enemy's supplies first.

As expected, when the Tang army pushed the siege vehicle and ladder under the city wall with great difficulty, the Goguryeo people at the head of the city immediately threw the fire oil tank downward, the fire was so ferocious, the siege equipment ignited instantly, and the Tang army below screamed in pain, and then was stoned to death by the rolling wood and stones thrown from the city.

Seeing that the Goguryeo people were completely at ease, the Tang army could not let the soldiers die under the city wall, so Niu Jinda reluctantly let the first batch of Tang troops retreat, and the second batch of Tang troops followed.

In the afternoon, the Goguryeo people once again repelled the attack of the Tang army, looking at the dense corpses of the Tang army under the city wall, Yang Wanchun twisted his beard and chuckled: "Gao Yanshou also said that the Tang army is the same as the heavenly soldiers and generals, and they have fought twice, and the Tang army is nothing more than that, as long as we hold them here for three months, then Da Mo will be able to free up his hands and organize a team to copy their back road, at that time they are demoralized, and whether they can return to the Tang Dynasty depends on the will of God." ”

"That's because you are here, so that we have hope and headway." The deputy general hurriedly patted a sycophant, he knew that Yang Wanchun and Quan Gai Suwen did not agree, and said again: "Quan Gai Suwen does not know anyone, and he will lose all the 100,000 elites, otherwise we will echo back and forth, and the situation is much better than being beaten passively now." ”

"Yes, I really didn't expect Gao Yanshou to run out alone, there are tens of thousands of people, and we are much more comfortable." Yang Wanchun sighed for a moment, and said worriedly: "After so many days, it is estimated that Pyongyang has also received the news of the defeat, if the officials and people in the city know the news of the annihilation of the 100,000-strong army, it is estimated that the whole city will be in chaos, in that case, my Goguryeo will be in danger!" ”

Yang Wanchun shouted to live and die with Anshi City, but he deeply knew how powerful the Tang Army was. Whether Anshi City can be defended or not, he himself is not sure.

However, Anshi City is his base camp, his family and property are all here, and Anshi City is the last barrier of Pyongyang, if Anshi City is lost, then Pyongyang City will be stripped of the last piece of clothing, and it will be left to the Tang Army. Lazy people listen to books

The soldiers on the city wall shouted again, and it turned out that the Tang army had started another wave of attacks.

"Kill!"

The Tang army shouted and killed and then went to Anshi City, and the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were also ready, they didn't know that time was a feint attack by the Tang army, and that time was a real attack, but they didn't dare to relax at all, and regarded every attack as a real attack, so as to ensure that they could hold the city and live.

Countless siege vehicles and ladders also rushed to the city wall, and Li Dongsheng's siege vehicle was also sandwiched inside, rushing forward together, and Li Dongsheng, who followed the vehicle, had his heart in his throat, and kept praying in his mouth, no Goguryeo people would burn this car with fire oil.

Xue Rengui said with a smile: "Master Hou usually looks at you with a light and breezy appearance, and this is the first time I have seen you in a nervous style." Were you so nervous when you led people to defend the city in the Western Regions before? ”

"I was still young at that time, and I still have three pregnant women at home this time, I don't want my child to have no father as soon as he comes out." Li Dongsheng ran out of breath: "Remember my words, just light the gunpowder and turn around and run, and inform them that there is no one around them." ”

Worried to the city wall, fortunately not by the Goguryeo defenders, Li Dongsheng they immediately flashed into the door of the city gate, when they carried the gunpowder, Li Dongsheng carefully looked at the crack after the last explosion, and then commanded the guards to concentrate the gunpowder under a crack that can most destroy the structure of the city gate, and used the stone brought to tightly push the gunpowder to the upper end of the doorway, and carefully checked it, and found that there was no problem before the fuse made of paper was connected, and he was ready to retreat.

When I got under the siege engine, I heard the sound of being hit by rolling wood and rocks on the roof of the car. If it hadn't been specially reinforced, it would have fallen apart at this time.

"Let's go." Li Dongsheng glanced at it one last time, and asked the guards to push the siege vehicle and quickly retreat, he didn't want to stay in this place for a minute.

"City Lord, that siege engine has retreated." When a staff member saw it, he hurriedly pointed it out to Yang Wanchun: "The surrounding Tang troops also began to run back." ”

Yang Wanchun glanced at it casually: "It is estimated that the Tang army will not be able to attack it today, and is ready to withdraw its troops." But they didn't hear the sound of the camp, so they dared to retreat? ”

"That must have been scared away by our army. Ha ha! The staff member explained that in this life-and-death battlefield, there is rarely something different to tell a joke about.

A loud "boom" shook everyone present to the ground, the teacups on the table fell to the ground and were smashed, and water and tea were everywhere on the ground, staining all their clothes, but Yang Wanchun and his staff didn't care about it at all, and ran out directly and asked: "Tang Jun is using gunpowder again, is the city wall okay?" ”
