921. The Flying Thunder Cannon fails
Within two days, the army also rushed to Anshi, preparing to attack Anshi City. And Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi, also received a guarantee from Yuangai Suwen that they would bring reinforcements from 100,000 troops within two days. As long as they can hold out for two days, they will also be supported by reinforcements, and they will be considered victorious. As for how to defend, Yang Wanchun has already prepared. And Yang Wanchun also knew something about the explosives package of the flying thunder cannon, so he was able to pat his chest and say that he could definitely defend Anshi.
And Jingwen still didn't know anything about this, so Jingwen came with the army. And Li Shimin didn't come along, because Li Shimin also wanted to rest now. Jingwen was often very idle some time ago, so he was envied and hated by Li Shimin, so Li Shimin claimed to change positions with Jingwen. Li Shimin was in charge of the staff department, while Jingwen was in charge of supervising the war. Therefore, Jingwen was very tragically sent to Anshi to supervise the battle, and he couldn't bring two beauties, so he could only follow the army. attacked Anshi, so now Li Shimin, the main general, is idle, but Jingwen, the minister of military affairs, is starting to get busy.
"Ann City ahead? I really didn't expect that the emperor was hiding, and I had to face this nemesis! Jingwen complained.
Jingwen has learned about it in later generations, and Li Shimin in the original history suffered a big loss here. In the original history, Li Shimin led hundreds of thousands of troops and wanted to crusade against Goguryeo. As a result, he suffered a big loss in this Anshi city, so he was forced to withdraw his troops. Therefore, this Anshi is Li Shimin's nemesis, and it can even be said to be the biggest nemesis in the Tang Dynasty, after all, so many Wenchen generals have not been able to conquer Anshi, isn't that the nemesis of the Tang Dynasty? As for here, if Jingwen is not mistaken, the guard here will be Yang Wanchun. After all, the person who can defeat Li Shimin and make Li Shimin suffer a big loss is not an ordinary person, so of course Jingwen remembers it clearly.
"Whatever! It doesn't matter what tricks you have to defend. As long as the walls fall, what can you do? Jingwen thought secretly.
Jingwen is still very confident in his flying thunder cannon, that is, the flying thunder cannon is enough to blow up the city wall, so that the city is in a state where there is no danger to defend. Then it is impossible for them to be able to defend it, so Jingwen can calmly attack the city, so that there will be afraid to defend the city?
"Boy, I'll give you a chance this time, don't you drop the chain!" Jingwen said to Dugumou next to him.
And Dugumou is Jingwen's cheap brother-in-law, this time it was Duguxin next to Jingwen who proposed it to Jingwen. This time, he followed Jingwen to attack the city, that is, he wanted to gain military merits. And Dugumou is now a regiment commander, a middle-level officer, if there is no military exploits, it will be difficult to be promoted. Therefore, Dugu Xin also gave his cheap brother a chance to make meritorious contributions, that is, to follow Jingwen to make meritorious contributions together, so that it could also be beneficial to the promotion after the war. So Dugumou also came over and wanted to conquer this Anshi City together.
"Brother-in-law, I will definitely work hard. There will definitely be no disappointment to my brother-in-law's high hopes! Dugu Mou climbed up the pole and said.
Soon, Jingwen came to the outside of Anshi City with more than 10,000 troops, and looked at the not very tall Anshi in the distance, and muttered a little in his heart. This city is not very tall. Originally, history trapped hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty, so that hundreds of thousands of troops could not take a step forward, which can be said to be extremely tragic. And now it's your turn to attack this city, so you have to be careful. However, Jingwen believes that under the attack of absolute strength. The enemy simply can't defend it.
"Flying Thunder Cannon Ready!" Jingwen said.
Soon, the Flying Thunder Cannon began to be prepared, because it was still according to the original tactics. That is to blow up the walls with flying thunder cannons, and then the infantry rush through the gaps in the walls, kill and wound the enemy, and occupy the city. As for this solution, it is the simplest and most effective way, so it is very easy to solve.
"Launch!" Jingwen shouted.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
More than a dozen shells from the Flying Thunder Cannon flew out of the barrels.
Above the city of Anshi, Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi, looked at the cannonballs flying in the distance, and a sneer appeared in his mouth.
"It's this again, I've been on guard for a long time!" Yang Wanchun said.
Yang Wanchun looked at the cannonballs flying in the sky, not only did he not have any nervousness, but he stood in place and did not leave. The other soldiers saw that their city lord was here, and there was no nervousness, and they were immediately relieved. Although according to the original plan, they had a way to deal with this enemy artillery, but they were also very timid. Because this powerful cannon can blow people to pieces, they are still very scared even though they are left on the city walls. But apparently, even Yang Wanchun, the city lord, was not afraid, so what was he afraid of as a small soldier?
The shells began to fall on the towers of the city walls, and the explosive packets began to smoke, emitting a burst of sulfur smell. However, Yang Wanchun was not nervous, there was actually an explosive bag next to him, but he was not nervous.
"Splash water!" Yang Wanchun said.
"Smack-"
A basin of water was splashed on the explosive bag next to Yang Wanchun, and the lead on the explosive bag was suddenly extinguished. The other dozen or so explosive bags were also disposed of in this way, and once those explosive bags landed, they were immediately splashed with basins of water, and then those leads were wet one after another, and they no longer continued to burn.
"Hmph, thanks to a Taoist priest, he has long told me that this kind of thing is most afraid of water. As long as I splash water, this thing won't blow up! Yang Wanchun said flatly.
"Wait a minute, if the Tang Army hits with this kind of weapon, then let them fight, and then we will also splash water. Anyway, we have a lot of water, and we are not afraid of such weapons of the enemy at all. We also have to collect these things, and then let our Taoist priests study them to see if they can be made. If we can make it, then we can also fight the Tang Army in turn! Yang Wanchun said.
Soon, the Goguryeo soldiers took away the soaked explosives bags one after another, and then prepared to store them for their Taoist priests to study. In this way, as long as the research is out, then they can also be used to attack the Tang army in turn, so that the Tang army will be damaged by Yanzhòng.
"What's going on? The explosives package didn't even explode? Jingwen said in a very surprised tone in the distance. (To be continued......)
