Chapter Twenty-Six: The End of Anshi City

The fifth year of the Tang Dynasty, August 16;

This day is a day that can never be forgotten by the people of Anshi City, because this day is a day when Anshi City was devastated.

From about noon, all the artillery fire placed by the Tang people on the mountains on both sides kept bombarding Anshi City.

Moreover, unlike these days, this time the cannonballs of the Tang Dynasty directly crossed the city wall and fell everywhere in the city.

Wherever the shells fell, whether they were houses, pavilions, or other buildings, the result was the same: the moment the shells fell, the debris flew and in the blink of an eye, it was razed to the ground.

Anseong City is really a military town of Goguryeo, and most of the soldiers stationed in the city are soldiers, however, this does not mean that there is not a single common people in it.

In fact, after many years of development, the city of Anshi has also had the appearance of a normal city, and there are not only civilians in it, but also the commerce that other towns should have.

However, at a time like this, in the face of the roaring artillery fire falling from the sky, Anshi Castle felt as if it had encountered the end of the world, and the castle was full of houses and pavilions that had been razed to the ground by the artillery fire, as well as people fleeing in panic everywhere.

The sound of shells, the screams of panic from people, and the sound of fires lit by artillery fire, crackling and burning.

The scene of the end of the world, at this time, Anshi City, like a hell on earth, under the cover of artillery fire, like the angry waves of the sea, a small boat with violent ups and downs, anytime, anywhere, may be drowned by the angry waves.

As the city lord of Anshi City, Yang Wanchun at this time was squeezed in a dead corner of the east gate, listening to the cannonballs overhead, whistling and galloping past, and falling in the city with a 'boom'.

Yang Wanchun's whole person felt that he was about to go crazy, and his lieutenants had already formed several death squads, rushing out of the city gate as if they were dead, wanting to rush to the mountains on both sides.

However, as soon as the death squad left the city gate, they would encounter a cannonball falling from the sky, and after a huge explosion, most of the people who had just gone out were immediately taken away.

The people of Datang seem to have expected that there will be a death squad, not only here at the East Gate, but also the other three, all of which have a special cannon to watch.

As long as the people of the death squad have just opened the city gate, the cannonball will immediately whizz and fall in front of the city gate, and the strong city cannot stop the power of the cannonball, let alone them who are still mortal in the flesh.

Can't rush out, what's more, even if they rush out, what can they do, at this time, through the gap between the artillery fire, they can clearly see that on the mountains on both sides, at this time, the army of the Tang Dynasty is in the woods and rocks of the mountain, looking at them coldly one by one.

Although, because of the distance, they can only see that the Tang people only show one head, and they can't see their true faces clearly!

However, you only need to look at the dense heads that are all over the mountain, and you can guess how many Tang people are ambushed on the mountains on both sides!

To say the least, it would have to be 10,000 or 20,000 people, and with the help of the killing machine of artillery fire, the combat strength of these 20,000 people would far exceed their 40,000 or 50,000.

After a few rounds, the losses were heavy, and the people of the death squad did not even leave the city gate, in this case, Yang Wanchun had no choice but to stop it sadly, and the deputy generals continued to send them to death.

Anshi City is about to end, the artillery fire is still falling, Yang Wanchun looked at it with a desperate face, there was a scene of doom everywhere in the city, and in his heart, Anshi City had been sentenced to death.

In the past, Anshi City was like a war fortress in their eyes, as if, as long as they stayed in Anshi City, no matter how many flood beasts came outside, they could stop it.

But now, Anshi City, which they regard as impregnable, is no longer supporting them at this moment, but has become a place for them to bury their bones.

The entire city of Anshi is also huge, however, under the cover of artillery fire, it suddenly became small, and everyone was running around in the city, but they couldn't find a place to hide.

In this case, it would probably be much better to let them out of the city and go to the vast world outside than to be trapped in the city and suffer from artillery fire!

"Pass my orders!" At this time, Yang Wanchun's face was desperate, he no longer expected to keep Anshi City, but when he saw the civilians fleeing in panic everywhere in the city, he reacted at once, and ordered to a deputy general beside him: "Immediately arrange for them to hide under the city wall, don't run around anymore!" ”

The cannonballs fell into the city from the city wall, and at this time, the only safe place in the city was probably under the city wall, unless, the cannonballs of the Tang Dynasty could blow up the thick city wall directly.

And in Anshi City, when encountering indiscriminate bombardment by artillery fire, at this time, in the canyon not far from Anshi City, the Liaodong City reinforcements who received Yang Wanchun's rescue and rushed non-stop were also encountered, just like the attack of Anshi City.

However, unlike Anshi Castle, they were not attacked by artillery shells, but by a new barracks of more than 1,000 armed with rifles.

The reinforcements who came to the rescue in Liaodong City, there were almost nearly 10,000 people, all of whom were the most elite troops in Liaodong City.

However, who would have thought that before they arrived at Anshi City, their whereabouts had already been discovered by the Tang people, and then, in this canyon not far from Anshi City, they were suddenly caught off guard by the Tang people.

For artillery fire, Goguryeo naturally heard of it, because this thing had been used in the Tang Dynasty's war against the Turks, and in that war, the role of artillery fire was indispensable.

However, for this rifle, the Goguryeo people were unheard of, and the army that was originally galloping forward suddenly saw from a distance that there was a figure of the Tang Dynasty at the end of the canyon.

The Goguryeo commander, who led the reinforcement army, immediately didn't say a word, drew the knife at his waist and roared, and immediately ordered the army to take the lead in attacking the Tang people at the end of the canyon.

Then, when they had just arrived halfway, the sound of popping beans immediately came from the side of the Tang people, echoing throughout the canyon.

At the same time, at the moment when this voice sounded, iron beads like soybean grains made a sound that pierced the air, whistling towards them.

Before the Goguryeo people could react, a group of Goguryeo people who rushed to the front immediately heard a few 'puff puffs' as if they had been cut wheat, and they fell to the ground one after another in the blood mist.

Surprised! Shocked!?

These reinforcements are all the elite troops in the Goguryeo army, however, in the face of the rows of companions who fell in front of them in the blink of an eye, for a while, they couldn't react.

One by one, they stood there dumbfounded, holding bows and crossbows and swords, and they forgot to rush forward to kill.

It's just that before they could react, there were a series of popping bean-like sounds, which suddenly came from the Datang people, and at the same time, just like Fang Cai, the moment the sound sounded, the dense 'soybean grains' came to them again.

It was still a 'puff, puff' sound, and almost in the blink of an eye, those 'soybean grains' that were speeding over instantly penetrated into the bodies of a group of Goguryeo people standing in the front row.

At the moment when the 'soybean grains' burrowed into their bodies, a large cloud of blood mist splattered out of the Goguryeo people's bodies, and the chest, arms, heads, and even legs, all the Goguryeo people who were hit by the 'soybean grains', instantly screamed and fell to the ground.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Seeing that, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people, in this inexplicable sound, were hit by an iron lump like a soybean grain, and fell to the ground in rows, and the Goguryeo chief general instantly changed his face and gave the order to retreat.

This is an inexplicable war, and they don't even see the Tang people on the other side, and they are about to encounter huge losses.

This canyon is the only way to Anshi City, after this canyon, there is Anshi City in front of them, and even at this end, they can hear that Anshi City over there is being bombarded by artillery fire.

It's a pity that even in this short canyon, even though they have tens of thousands of people, they are still suppressed by the Tang people, with a weapon they have never heard of.

At this time, when the reinforcements from Liaodong City were suppressed at the other end of the canyon, on the other side of the new military camp, Zhao Chen's face was also extremely dignified.

With more than 1,000 people, dealing with the tens of thousands of reinforcements in Goguryeo, even if they have a cross-era weapon such as a rifle, the psychological pressure is not easy.

"On the mountains on both sides, you have to keep an eye on them all the time!" Standing on a high ground in the canyon, Zhao Chen put down the binoculars in his hand and instructed Xue Rengui beside him: "Don't let them copy our back road!" ”

"Someone has been sent!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Xue Rengui nodded suddenly, pushed a bullet into his load, and said to Zhao Chen without raising his head.

"Master Hou, hurry up!" However, just as Zhao Chen was talking to Xue Rengui, a general of the Cheng Mansion suddenly made a detour from the direction of Anshi City, and as soon as he came to Zhao Chen, he panted and said: "If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave!" (To be continued.) )
