Cuomduo stretched out his hand, facing Quan Gai Suwen and said with a smile: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, relying on its own strong military strength, it has been suppressing our grassland people, and our people have long been oppressed. Now that the Tang Dynasty is raising troops to the east for no reason, my Guda Department is willing to join forces with Goguryeo to help Goguryeo defeat the Tang Dynasty. The messenger stood up and touched his chest with one hand.

Quan Gai Suwen finally waited for what he wanted to hear and laughed, and also handed his hand forward: "Okay, with the help of the tiger and wolf division of the bone fighting department, we must let the arrogant Tang army know that small countries will not be fought if they want to!" ”

Under the city of Anshi, the reorganized Tang army of more than 200,000 people has been assembled and is preparing to attack the city.

Li Shimin also knew that the current Tang army was suffering from internal and external troubles, and it was necessary to use a big victory to improve the morale of the army and hundreds of officials, but the Anshi City in front of him was a hard bone, so today the whole army was mobilized to prepare to take Anshi City in one fell swoop.

As soon as the sun rose, the war drums of the Tang army outside the city began to beat, and then there was a long horn sound, and the Tang army shouted and killed the earth-shattering, and the 100,000 Tang army took the four city gates as the direction of the attack, and the whole army rushed to the city wall of Anshi like a tide.

This siege is a matter of great importance, Li Shimin personally sat in command, directly put half of the troops into the siege, the other three sides are feints, the main attack of the city wall in the east, because where the siege team brought gunpowder, and the Goguryeo army is facing the sun when resisting, eyes can not be opened, so it will be very difficult to fight.

It's still the same old process, what ladders, siege vehicles, and all kinds of siege equipment are used in turn, and the Goguryeo people have long been in battle, and both warring sides know very well that after Yang Wanchun attacked the camp outside the city a few days ago and caused heavy losses to the Tang army, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides, and the two sides must divide the victory and defeat in Anshi City, and never die. Because this Anshi city and the city lord Yang Wanchun gave our proud Tang Emperor a blow to the head, making him feel that his face had been violated, and such a shame could only be washed with the blood of the Goguryeo people.

The siege momentum is very large, the ordinary soldiers in the Tang army use all kinds of siege ordnance, to the city of Anshi to launch a rapid attack, under the cover of the dense rain of arrows, the Tang army soldiers against the city wall of the enemy's rolling wood and boiling oil gold soup splashed, put the long ladder on the city wall arrow buttress, like ants climb up, the defenders of Anshi City are very calm, under the command of the guard, the slightest chaos to the city wall under the rolling wood stones, pouring boiling oil and gold soup, from time to time there are Tang army siege soldiers were smashed or poured in, Screaming and falling down the ladder into a pulp.

Some lucky Tang soldiers tried hard to climb the city wall, but because the number was too small, as soon as they got on the city wall, they were surrounded by a group of defenders who were like wolves and tigers, swords, axes, axes, spears, and various weapons to greet them, and soon fell in a pool of blood. Seeing that the siege lasted for an hour, the Tang army suffered heavy losses, and Anshi City was still firmly in the hands of the Goguryeos.

In the Tang Army, Li Shimin, surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials, frowned and watched the soldiers on both sides on the city wall in the distance fighting for their lives, the look on his face was very solemn, and he no longer had the same vigor as he did at the beginning.

"Anshi City is not easy to fight." Zhang Jian's face was not good-looking: "Now that the city is united, Yang Wanchun is steady, and he has dealt with it properly from the siege of the city, and he has not made any mistakes." ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded: "It is said that he withstood the siege of Quangai Suwen for several months, not to be underestimated!" After speaking, he secretly glanced at Li Shimin, you want to conquer such a strong enemy in one day, is it a bit taken for granted.

The monarchs and ministers were silent, and their hearts were tempered as hard as steel for decades of battlefield career, and the figures of the Tang army on the city wall braved the rain of guns and slashing and stabbing guns, and still climbed the city wall desperately, and then they were ruthlessly knocked to the ground by the Goguryeo defenders, such a scene kept repeating, but the two warring sides did not dare to slack off, because a relaxation is death.

"Such a big casualty is too big!" Li Shimin waited for a while and said: "If you feint to attack now, you can use gunpowder to blow up the city wall." ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the herald and the general began to wave the order flag, and in the middle of the Tang army, another heavily armed ironclad soldier walked slowly towards the city. The officers and men of the Tang Army, who were in a bitter battle, saw that the iron armor on their bodies reflected a dazzling golden light in the sun, and they all let out cheers, and their morale suddenly rose.

Not only is the morale of the soldiers high, Li Shimin and the civil and military officials also showed a relaxed look, in their opinion, the city wall of Anshi is not as tall as the city wall of Liaodong, and there is definitely no resistance to this gunpowder, after all, gunpowder is the most violent weapon in siege warfare in this era, although Li Dongsheng repeatedly emphasized that gunpowder is not omnipotent, but in Li Shimin's opinion, as long as the city wall is blown up, it will be a matter of course, and the city will definitely not be protected.

Even if you Yang Wanchun has the ability, the Goguryeo defenders can fight again, but in the face of this earth-shattering Tianwei, manpower can already be insignificant. No matter what is in the face of absolute strength, it is vulnerable after all, Li Shimin, the ministers and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are waiting for that amazing scene.

The Goguryeo defenders also raised their throats, because they knew from the early intelligence that as long as the Tang army came out with such a team, then they would definitely use something called gunpowder to blow up the city wall.

The waiting time was not long, the Tang army had already brought the explosives to the city gate with siege vehicles, only to hear an earth-shattering loud noise, the black smoke dissipated, but the explosion site made the Tang army soldiers stunned, the city gate tower of Anshi City was still standing in place, and there was no imaginary explosion.

Only the Goguryeo defenders gave a shocking cheer, the secret weapon of the Tang army was not working, the city wall was not blown up, and the city of Anshi could be defended, when they looked at Yang Wanchun, their eyes were full of worship, this is the man given by the gods to the city of Anshi, he is so tall, the most dangerous moment has passed, now it is up to us to drive the Tang army off the city.

When the news came back, Li Shimin, whose faces were already a little relaxed, and the civil and military officials were full of surprise, such a good thing didn't work? There's no reason, didn't you blow down the city wall easily the first two times?

Li Shimin's voice was a little choked, and he pointed at An Shicheng with a trembling finger: "What is the situation?" Why wasn't the wall of Anshi Castle blown down? ”

All the people present were very silent with interest, none of them could answer the emperor's question, and the only one who could answer the question was sleeping in a tent.
