Chapter 458: It's Time to Show True Strength

Lin Sen didn't look for anyone, but he took the two brothers and men, took advantage of the cover of the night, sneaked under the city wall and drummed for a long time, just waiting for the final decisive moment to come.

On the night of the third day, all the units were in position according to Li Ji's deployment, and on the other side of the target city wall far away from Lin Sen, the Tang army vigorously clamoured and put on a posture of attacking.

Before that, the Tang army had indeed launched an attack for several nights in a row, and during the day it would be rotated with another wave of sergeants to continue, making the defenders nervous and exhausted all the time.

Because of the assembly of the Tang army here, the Goguryeo defenders were naturally not unresponsive, but the Tang army did not attack, and they also wanted to save arrows and did not take the initiative to provoke.

Then, under the joint attention of both sides of the confrontation, a loud "boom" was heard, and then it was like an earthquake, and there were flying sand and rocks everywhere.

The section of the city wall that Lin Sen said collapsed so violently in everyone's jaw-dropping, and the fallen city wall happened to become a dirt slope, which was convenient for the morale-boosting Tang army to attack the city.

The trebuchet that had already been instructed smashed the last few incendiary canisters on both sides of the collapsed city wall, not only to prevent the enemy troops on the still standing city wall from gathering towards the gap and resist the Tang army from occupying here, but also to illuminate the gap and tell the enemy that your city wall has really collapsed!

"The city is broken! The city is broken! Suddenly, whether it was the Tang army or the defenders, or the leading party who had already received the signal, they all shouted.

On the Tang army's side, under the leadership of the two fierce generals, Xue Rengui and Qi Bi He Li, they had already rushed into the city, easily broke through the defenders who came to intercept them, and began to rush in the direction of the center of the city with shouts.

Lin Sen and Su Dingfang, on the other hand, took their respective subordinates and began to counterattack the city walls on both sides. It is extremely difficult to break through the walls from the outside, but it is much easier to break through from the inside.

Lin Sen's goal was directed in the direction of the city gate, he chose this city wall, he originally had this consideration, close enough to the city gate, it could completely open another gap, giving the Tang army a greater advantage.

In the face of Lin Sen, the "demon god", and in the case of breaking the city, the will of the Goguryeo defenders to resist was half gone, and there was really no hope of victory, and the rest was only despair.

After Lin Sen and his men successfully seized the city gate and put in more Tang troops, everyone understood that the general trend on the side of the Goguryeo defenders had gone.

The Tang army was divided into several roads, shouting "the city is broken", and on the other hand, they went to their respective goals, seizing the city, besieging the city lord's mansion, etc., all with their own arrangements.

At first, the fighting was fierce, but as more and more Tang troops poured in, the defenders with a strong will to resist were killed and wounded, and the other defenders slowly gave up resistance and began to flee for their lives.

In this way, after a night of fighting, by the time dawn, the entire Anshi City had all fallen into the control of the Tang army.

After waiting for more than half a day, the cavalry team that went out to pursue the enemy army completely returned to the team and began the post-battle inventory.

At this point, the first battle of the Tang Dynasty against Goguryeo can be regarded as a temporary end.

There is no way, there are too many Goguryeo cities captured by the Tang army, more than a dozen.

Just these 100,000 or so Tang troops are really a little lacking in skills, and if they want to occupy more cities, it is not that they can't beat it, but they are afraid that they won't be able to defend it.

Moreover, after taking Anshi City, the entire western front of Goguryeo has all fallen under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

Without this series of barriers, Goguryeo is like a weak woman with her legs open to the Tang Dynasty, and she can only let the Tang Dynasty take what she wants.

The next thing is not to see what Goguryeo wants, but to see what Datang wants to do, whether to continue to operate this territory, or to plunder this place as a wasteland, it all depends on the meaning of Datang.

Of course, that is all after the next step of the Tang Dynasty to send a larger army, and now it is really not enough, after all, the number of the Tang army is here.

The original plan was just a tentative attack on Goguryeo, looking at the reality of Goguryeo, 100,000 people is a relatively conservative number, and the burden on the Tang Dynasty is very small.

And the results achieved so far have far exceeded the initial expectations of the Tang Dynasty, and they are even more optimistic than the best assumptions.

What needs to be worried now is how to consolidate such a large piece of territory.

Whether to move the population inland and let it be abandoned and turned into a buffer zone, or whether to continue to keep these cities as a bridgehead for further Tang attacks will need to be decided by Emperor Li Chengqian and the princes of the court.

Even Li Ji and Li Daozong, the two chief managers, could only reserve their opinions on such a matter for the time being, and just submitted their respective suggestions for His Majesty the Emperor's reference.

However, this will not delay the whole army to ask for credit, and it is necessary to send the good news back in time.

According to Lin Sen's consistent style, this work of retribution was naturally fought for by the initiative again.

Anyway, in the current situation of Goguryeo, if the Tang army does not attack them, they will burn high incense, and I am afraid that they will not have the courage in a short time, and they will not be able to mobilize enough troops to counterattack the Tang army.

Lin Sen, a ruthless character who can definitely stop children crying at night in Goguryeo, is useless for the time being, so it is better to take this opportunity to run back, see his wife and children as soon as possible, and avoid everyone's inquiring eyes.

It was really that he collapsed that section of the city wall alone was so appalling that even the Tang army couldn't help but look in awe and awe when they saw him, and they almost regarded him as a god.

Many people wanted to ask him how to do it, but they didn't dare to ask, which made Lin Sen feel uncomfortable for the other party.

But the key is that he is really not easy to explain this, so in the face of those eyes, Lin Sen himself is also very awkward, it is better to run away early.

In fact, his approach is not very complicated, it is nothing more than the power of the system.

He first sprinkled a lot of plant seeds under the city walls, and then gave birth to these plants and drilled hard into the walls.

Don't underestimate the power of plant growth, we can all see that plants can drill through the cement wall, and it is not uncommon to break the wall.

Under the action of powerful system energy, it is naturally not a problem to drill through those walls that are actually poured with earth.

By the time all these plants have grown, the walls have not changed much from the outside, but in fact, the interior has long been hollowed out by the plants, and more of them are supporting them.

By the time Lin Sen controlled the rapid shrinkage of these plants, and then drilled under the roots of the city wall, the section of the city wall collapsed like a house that had been stripped of its backbone and its foundation had collapsed, and it collapsed in an instant, turning into a dirt bag.

But he obviously can't explain such a thing to everyone.

The existence of the system has turned him into a "god", and this practice is even more magical, so let them keep guessing.

Go back and give Li Chengqian a relatively reasonable explanation, maybe you can expose this matter.

Of course, the reason why he shows such power is also because he has his own mind in it.
