The artillery fire finally stopped, and the city of Anshi, which had just trembled, fell silent for a moment.

All the Goguryeo people who had just experienced that fierce artillery fire in Anshi City looked at each other at this moment, with a panicked look on their faces.

At this moment, the city of Anshi is dusty, smoke and dust are raging, and near the north and south gates, there are broken bricks and tiles that have been blown away by artillery fire everywhere.

When I looked at the north and south gates, the city towers that were originally there had long since disappeared, not only the city towers had disappeared, but the city walls in some places had also been opened.

Whether it was on the city wall or under the city wall, at this time, there were Goguryeo soldiers who were affected by the artillery fire, falling to the ground, groaning in pain, and covered in blood, obviously, suffering injuries of varying degrees.

At this moment, Anshi City was full of apocalyptic scenes, and the fierce attacks that came in made Anshi City not even mentally prepared at all.

The Tang Dynasty has already retreated, of course, this refers to the more than a thousand people under the East Gate City!

As for the Tang people on the mountain, they were under fire just now, except for hearing the sound, until the more than 1,000 Tang people at the east gate withdrew, they didn't see it, and a figure flashed on the mountain.

But despite this, the Goguryeo people understood that those people on the mountain were the main force of the Tang Dynasty, because the scene in the city at this time was enough to explain everything.

After seeing Zhao Chen and the others withdraw, convinced that there would be no more attacks, Yang Wanchun came down from the east gate with a pale face, and took a cadre of deputy generals to the north and south gates to investigate the damage.

It's just that when he saw the two gates, the broken bricks and tiles scattered everywhere, and the wounded soldiers groaning in pain everywhere, even though he had expected it in his heart, after seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but gasp.

This is the first time that Anshi City has suffered such a blow, and what he thought was indestructible was directly suffered a cruel blow when they didn't release an arrow, and even the opponent's brigade didn't see it.

After checking the losses at the two gates and arranging for someone to be responsible for cleaning up, Yang Wanchun then returned to the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion with a group of people.

At this time, the atmosphere in the front hall was a little frozen and terrible, the entire front hall was quiet, and everyone was solemn, frowning, and there was a solemnity in their eyes.

The Tang people gave ten days, ten days, if they didn't capture Anshi City, they would automatically retreat, presumably they came from the sea, and the food and grass supplies could not keep up, so they wanted to fight quickly.

But the problem is that even Yang Wanchun, who used to have great confidence in Anshi City, has lost his confidence at this moment!

After the artillery attack just now, he is now unsure whether they can withstand the fierce artillery attack of the Tang people just now.

The city walls are extremely strong, and the tall and sturdy city walls are all made of local black clay, fired bricks and stones, and ordinary swords can splash clusters of sparks on the city walls.

Yang Wanchun once imagined that even if the Tang Dynasty people came in the future, he would be able to rely on the solidity of Anshi City to drag down the Tang Dynasty people under the city, but now, in the face of artillery fire, a weapon of war, Yang Wanchun has lost his self-confidence after only persisting for ten days.

"What the hell is that?" The atmosphere in the front hall was unusually depressing, everyone was silent, and I don't know how long it took, but the boy who was finally sitting next to Yang Wanchun suddenly raised his head, looked at Yang Wanchun with palpitations, and asked in surprise.

"Artillery fire!" Hearing Yuan Boy's words, Yang Wanchun suddenly raised his head, took a deep breath, and said with a melancholy look: "Presumably, your father is clear!" ”

Regarding the artillery fire of the Tang Dynasty, only a very small number of high-level people in Goguryeo knew about it, and this was still an envoy group, which spread privately after returning from Chang'an.

It is said that the reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to uproot the Turkic people who dominated the grassland in just a few months relied on this mysterious artillery fire.

However, when Yang Wanchun heard it at that time, he only thought that it was a false rumor from the envoys, because he didn't believe that there was such a strong and outrageous killing weapon in this world.

However, he didn't expect that it had only been a long time for him to personally experience this kind of powerful killing weapon that he regarded as a false rumor, like a blow to the head, and as soon as this killing weapon appeared, it made him pay a heavy price!

After listening to Yang Wanchun's explanation, the front hall fell into silence again, compared to Fang Cai's depression, the atmosphere in the front hall at this time suddenly became more worried.

The lethality of the artillery fire made everyone present instantly cast a shadow on their hearts, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of such a lethal weapon.

"City Lord, what now?" After another long silence, there was finally a deputy general, who couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Yang Wanchun on the main seat, and asked with a worried face.

"Hold on!" When Yang Wanchun heard this, he almost didn't think about it, so he replied: "From now on, all the soldiers are puzzled, and they are ready to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty anytime and anywhere!" ”

When these words fell, seeing the worry on the faces of several deputy generals in the front hall, Yang Wanchun added again: "Also, from now on, the soldiers above the four gates, except for the necessary stay, the rest of the people will be withdrawn from above!" ”

The lethality of the artillery fire is amazing, at this time, if it is still like before, rushing to the city wall, it is no different from sending them to death, not waiting for the Tang people, assuming that the ladder attacks the city, more than half of their people have been killed and wounded.

The artillery fire of the Tang people is powerful, but if the city wall is still there, the Tang people will sooner or later assume that the ladder will attack the city, and at that time, it is necessary for the soldiers to go up to the city wall and fight to the death with the Tang people.

Yang Wanchun's order was passed down immediately, and then, all the redundant soldiers who were originally on the city wall were withdrawn, and a temporary camp was set up not far from the city wall, hiding there and waiting.

Not only that, but in the afternoon of the same day, Yang Wanchun also sent a messenger to leave Anshi City quickly, and went straight to Liaodong City with Yang Wanchun's letter.

Anshi City was ready to defend it, Zhao Chen looked at the sparse Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall from afar, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

As he expected, the city lord of Anshi City finally fell into his trap according to his expectations, thinking that there were really thousands of troops from the Tang Dynasty outside the city and surrounded Anshi City.

This is what Zhao Chen expects, so from now on, all he has to do is try not to show flaws, persist for ten days, and wait for Cheng Chumo and others to come back.

"Master Hou, what should we do now?" Lei Kedi, who was standing next to Zhao Chen, was the general of the new military camp, and at this time, he also looked at Anshi City in his sight, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Zhao Chen respectfully and asked.

"Keep banging!" Hearing Lei Kedi's words, Zhao Chen immediately put down the binoculars, almost didn't think about it, then looked at Lei Kedi and said: "We not only have to continue to bomb, but also be more ruthless every time, so that the Goguryeo people in the city feel the pressure on him all the time!" ”

"Understood!" This guy Lei Kedi was originally born in the Sixteenth Guard, and he was also a captain with rich experience in battle formations, so it was natural that he was promoted by Zhao Chen to be the general of the new military camp.

"That's right!" Seeing that Lei Ke was about to turn around and leave after receiving his order, Zhao Chen immediately stopped Lei Ke and said: "The shelling is in the early morning, and during the day, ask more soldiers to hang around the mountain, get more straw men on the mountain, and in the early morning, all the straw men will be erected!" ”

Since there are thousands of troops and horses in ambush on the mountain, there is always no one to see, and it is okay for a day or two, and if it does not show up at all, it will sooner or later arouse the suspicion of the Goguryeo people.

In terms of sound effects, it is the easiest to solve, anyway, in his supermarket, there are gramophones and loudspeakers, as long as the voices of more than 1,000 people in the new military camp are burned in advance.

At that time, it will be released through a loudspeaker, just like the first time, and the unwitting Goguryeo people will hear it, and if they are not deceived, it will be called a strange thing!

According to Zhao Chen's meaning, on the day of the defeat of the enemy, more than 1,000 people in the new military camp were divided into two groups and sent to the mountains on both sides, and in places where the Goguryeo people could see, they would deliberately show their figures from time to time.

In the early hours of the morning, more than a dozen artillery guns on the mountains on both sides bombarded the city of Anshi at the same time, and under the gray sky, the shells spitting flames roared out from the mountains on both sides and landed on the head of the city of Anshi.

Every time a shell falls, there is a deafening explosion, followed by a splash of masonry!

At this time, Anshi City was like a small boat hit by a storm in the ocean, and it seemed that it would capsize and sink to the bottom of the sea anytime and anywhere under artillery fire.

And just then, when Zhao Chen was on the side of Anshi City and successfully dragged Anshi City, the hundreds of ships and ships led by Cheng Chumo went all the way upstream, along the Liao River and went straight to Ma Lishui at the end of the Liao River.

After several days of hard work, they stayed overnight along the way, and finally on this day, the group arrived at the destination of their trip - Ma Lishui.

Maqishui is a branch of the Liao River, roughly similar to Weishui, except that when the boat arrives here, it has to stop at the shore.

Jingguan was in the middle of the Maqishui, and there was no wharf for them to turn around, so, just like the soldiers of the former dynasty, the fleet docked at the Liao River, and the rest of the way relied on them to cross on foot.

On the bank of the Liao River in the early morning, a group of silent Tang soldiers, shouldering shovels, hoes and crossbows, quietly stepped off the ship and went straight to Beijing while the night was dark. (To be continued.) )
