Chapter 40: The Tang Army Enters the City
A shrill chirp sounded!
The black shadow fell from the sky and landed steadily on Li Yuncong's arm. "Top Point Novel,
Luo Shixin did not besiege Anshi City like he besieged Liaodong, but Yang Wanchun completely blocked Anshi City by himself, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, and also restricting anyone from contacting outside the city.
Luo Shixin's friendship with the remnants of the Sui Dynasty on Changbai Mountain is no secret in Goguryeo, and it is even rumored that the reason why Luo Shixin was able to fight and win successes and cross the swamp was the road led by the Sui soldiers of Changbai Mountain, and was able to break through Liaodong in a short period of time, and capture and kill Yuanbinzhi, the wall of Goguryeo, is also because as early as when the Tang army went out, the remnants of the Sui Dynasty on Changbai Mountain had already entered Liaodong City one step ahead and assisted the Tang army in capturing Liaodong.
It is also a clear fact that Zuo Tiancheng, the leader of the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, has now been appointed as a general of the Tang Dynasty and served under Luo Shixin.
The remnants of the Sui Dynasty lived in Goguryeo for ten years, and they knew the surrounding terrain and terrain well, and their traces could almost spread throughout Goguryeo.
However, he did not guard against the eagle, the overlord of the sky on the high mountain, the eagle is very spiritual, fast and fierce, and is hardly afraid of any bird in the sky. Compared with carrier pigeons, information can be delivered faster, safer and more accurately. Especially the eagle in Li Yuncong's hand is even more of the best among the eagles, except for someone familiar who summons it, it will not hand over the letter under its feet to anyone at all.
Luo Shixin was able to know everything about the situation in Anshi City thanks to the connection between Li Yuncong and Zuo Tiancheng.
Remove the letter bound from the claws of the baby eagle, and read it carefully in the moonlight.
"It's finally time to act!" Li Yuncong has been holding his breath. The only hope for the survival of these dead people trapped on Changbai Mountain is to destroy Jingguan, destroy Goguryeo, and avenge their comrades who died in Liaodong. After ten years of waiting and ten years of anticipation, the decisive moment has finally arrived.
Keep the contents of the letter in mind, take out the fire fold and burn it. By the darkness of the night, he came to a large mansion in the west of the city.
This large mansion was built following the establishment of Anshi Castle and is one of the old buildings in the city. Back then, Luo Shixin came to Changbai Mountain for Sun Simiao, the king of medicine for Pingyang, because he saved Zuo Tiancheng and won the trust of their group, and talked about revenge with each other.
Luo Shixin made no secret to them that revenge could only rely on the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to help them take revenge in the short term. In view of the situation in Goguryeo in history, Luo Shixin also gave several suggestions, one of which is to pay more attention to Anshi City, believing that Anshi City will become a hurdle for the Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo in the future.
Although Zuo Tiancheng at that time didn't know why the small Anshi City had become a barrier that could stop the Tang Dynasty, they regarded Luo Shixin as a friend and valued his opinion. Arranged for people to infiltrate Anshi City to settle down.
At that time, Yang Wanchun had not yet been appointed as the city lord of Anshi City, and there was nothing noteworthy about Anshi City. Among the several important cities in Goguryeo, Anseong Fortress is the most inconspicuous of them, and because of this, the people of Zuo Tiancheng easily integrated into it, bought real estate and settled in the city.
Soon after, Gao Jianwu arranged for Yang Wanchun to be the city lord of Anshi City, and supported him to deal with the clan forces of Yuangai Suwen, giving Anshi City unprecedented support. The status of Anseong rose in vain and became a strategic location of great importance in Goguryeo. Yang Wanchun also has a high talent in military affairs. Attach importance to the management of the army and soldiers, and train all kinds of soldiers in the city of Anshi, whether they are patrols or city guards, or even fast catchers, and train them to be elite soldiers who can fight as long as they hold weapons and put on armor. When the farm is busy and free, it also organizes and trains the people, so that the people also have the strength to fight. It can come in handy when it matters.
All this that Yang Wanchun did was planted in Zuo Tiancheng's eyeliner in Anshi City.
Zuo Tiancheng also realized that Luo Shixin's original prophecy had been fulfilled one by one, and focused on arranging for people to enter Anshi City. Because of this transcendent "vision" of Roshixin. No matter how good Yang Wanchun is, he can't imagine that the nail has been inserted under his nose many years ago.
It was also because of the preparations made in advance that Zuo Tiancheng and the others were able to hide thousands of people in Anshi City unknowingly. Hundreds of these 1,000 people are almost the old residents of Anshi City.
The house was full of subordinates, about fifty or sixty people, most of them were in their forties, and when they saw Li Yuncong, they were excited and excited, and they stepped forward one after another to ask if they could act.
Li Yuncong responded with a smile, calming everyone's eagerness, and asked the pitch-black man on the side: "Uncle Tie, are you ready for weapons or something?" ”
Uncle Tie's name is surnamed Tie Mingshan Yanyun people, the first was a blacksmith, recruited by Yang Guang to join the army, became a soldier, and was also the first batch of Neiying to enter Anshi City, in Anshi City, he did his old job of striking iron, secretly responsible for the maintenance of all weapons and armor, all weapons are stored in his underground armory, and when asked, Tie Shan slapped his chest Bang, and said without hesitation: "Young patriarch rest assured, every weapon makes me sharpen, just wait for today." ”
"Good!" Li Yuncong looked around and said, "You go back and get ready, I'll let people pick it up in batches." On the fourth watch tonight, our troops are divided into six routes, and we must help the Tang army capture this Anshi City. ”
The people around them did not shout loudly, but they all tensed their nerves, and their expressions were serious and serious.
The fourth uglier moment is one o'clock in the morning.
When the Tang army's offensive outside the city was in a hurry, there was a commotion in the city of Anshi.
The four houses of the people in the southeast, northwest and northwest were set on fire one after another, and the granary and government in the city were attacked by the rebels.
All around shouted that the Tang army had entered the city, and the terrible news that the city was being slaughtered, there was no men, women, and children, and there was no one left.
Yang Wanchun used the ferocity of the Tang army as an excuse to inspire all the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist the Tang army. This place was used by Luo Shixin to intimidate the people of Anshi City with the image of the violent Tang Army. If the Tang army is still outside the city, the people will naturally fight to the death with the Tang army in order to protect their homeland, and now the Tang army has entered the city, is burning and looting in the city, and implements the three-light policy, where do they still have the courage to resist. At that time, the people of the entire Anshi city were panicked, and at this time, false news came from the city, the three gates of the southwest and north had already been captured by the Tang army, and only the east gate was still there, and they fled to the east gate.
At the instigation of well-intentioned people, the people involuntarily rushed to the east gate.
There were not no people in charge in the city, but things came so suddenly and so quickly that even they weren't sure if the Tang army had really come in, and how could they convince the frightened people to believe him?
In a short period of time, thousands of frightened people have gathered at the east gate, and the crowd is panicking and asking the soldiers guarding the east gate to open the door and let them flee out of the city, the number of people is still rising, and the situation is becoming more and more difficult to control.
The turmoil in Anshi City, Yang Wanchun was the first to know.
In this situation, Yang Wanchun still didn't understand the problem: the group on Changbai Mountain did not lurk in Liaodong and did not wait for the Tang army in the capital of Goguryeo, but lurked in Anshi City, which he controlled. Before the arrival of the Tang Army, he had spent a lot of effort to catch the remnants of the Sui Dynasty lurking in Anshi City, but he didn't catch a few of them, just thinking that they didn't value the small Anshi City. This explanation is also reasonable, although Anshi City has an extraordinary status because of the support of Gao Jianwu back then, but after all, it was prepared to prevent the Yuan clan from becoming powerful, and it was used for internal fighting, not to resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of strategic locations, they are far inferior to Liaodong and even Baiyan City, and the Tang army really has no reason to focus on Anshi City.
He couldn't have imagined that the other party would ignore such a strategic place as Liaodong and place the focus on Anshi City.
"Don't panic, there can't be too many enemies in the city, they just want to create chaos, let us mess with ourselves, and give them a chance! No matter what happens in the city, they will always need the support of the Tang army outside the city, as long as we cut off their support for each other, they can't help us. ”
In this case, Yang Wanchun still maintained a certain level of sanity, and responded to all changes with the same, and he didn't even have the idea of supporting.
It wasn't until he learned that the people were rushing to Dongcheng and heard the false news of the fall of Sanmen that he launched a targeted action and rushed to Dongmen in person to appease people's hearts.
Yang Wanchun's prestige in Anshi City was extremely high, and from the moment he appeared, the people gradually calmed down as if they had taken a reassuring medicine.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Yang Wanchun, said that the city is in the people, and the city is dead, and I am standing here and talking to you now, which proves one thing. Anshi City is as safe and stable as Taibai Mountain, you have been bewitched, deceived, deceived by Zuo Tiancheng's gang of Sui Dynasty thieves, they want to use you to deceive the gate of this Anshi City, so that they can be ambushed outside the city to rush into the city. Believe me Yang Wanchun, please go back, after your losses are repelled tonight, I will pay back double. ”
Under his persuasion, the people retreated one by one.
Yang Wanchun breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is there any sign of the Tang Army?" ”
The general guarding the city also wiped a cold sweat and said: "No, there is no shadow of the Tang Army." ”
"Strange!" Yang Wanchun was full of doubts, looked at the pitch black in the distance, and was also confused, completely unaware of what the Tang Army and those remnants of the Sui Dynasty were doing.
The offensive in the south of the city was fierce, and Yang Wanchun patrolled around the east of the city without any situation, and came to the south of the city again with the battlefield in mind, and arranged for some people to arrest the people who made trouble and incited the people in the city.
Dawn!
Yang Wanchun suddenly got the news that the east of the city had fallen, and the Tang army inexplicably appeared in the city and the Tang army outside the city forcibly captured the city gate and had entered the city...... (To be continued......)
