Li Zhen's Shenji battalion is different from the half-hung team that went out with Li Shimin in the past, it is the army of a hundred battles in the Western Regions, the vast majority of officers and soldiers have experienced the bloody battles in the Western Regions, the training is extremely well-trained, and the accuracy is already amazingly high, plus there is also the "Rising Sun" to transmit the inner city defense map in hand, since it has long been pre-set for all kinds of shooting elements, this Tongzi fire oil bomb attack in the past, the effect is really amazing, the grain depot, the city guard, The arsenal and other important facilities are all the first hits, after a series of six waves of attacks, the inner city is already a sea of fire, but there is no way to extinguish it, what makes the defenders even more headache is that the fire oil in the fire oil bomb has white phosphorus in it, and it burns wherever it is stained, not to mention the wood, the stone is also burned, and the water will be splashed up, not only can not extinguish the fire, but it will spread the fire even more, and the soldiers and civilians in the city have been busy fighting for a long time, but they have always been ineffective.

The fire burned more and more, and soon the entire inner city became a big furnace, at this moment, not to mention even trying to put it out, the city is even a place to stand in the pitiful, that is, close to the city wall near the open space can still stand people, so that the soldiers and civilians who escaped from the fire were all crowded on the edge of the city wall, all of them were full of scorched black, everyone was desperate, the cry, the howl sounded the sky, and when Yang Wanchun led his troops to open the city gate, a group of soldiers and civilians all rushed out of the city in chaos, and the crowd surged, It also looked violent, but except for the hundreds of officers and soldiers who followed Yang Wanchun's side and were still neatly dressed, most of the rest were empty-handed, and they really couldn't tell whether they were launching a decisive charge against the Tang army or fleeing.

"Rush, kill Tang Kou, kill!" Although Yang Wanchun was the first to rush out of the city gate hole, after all, he was born as a literati, and his age was not young, so he couldn't find anywhere with his legs and feet, and ran hard, but he was soon drowned by the waves of people rushing up behind him, and he relied on the support of more than a dozen guards around him, so he did not fall under the push of everyone.

How the Goguryeo army would react was already in Li Zhen's prediction, and when the fire in the city started, Li Zhen had already transferred the musket team from Yan Donglai to the front row, and the defenders were sent out of the city to die. At this order, the sound of gunfire rang out like fried beans, and rows of deadly bullets shot like locusts in dense waves of people, like wheat harvesting, and the defending officers and soldiers who rushed over to the ground one after another.

The Tang army opened fire, and the corpses of the Goguryeo officers and soldiers who died tragically under the bullets quickly piled up a hill on the street, blocking the street that was not too wide, but the latecomers couldn't stop their feet at all, and were kept running forward by the waves, trying to climb over the corpse mountain, and continued to attack the Tang army's front, but it was a pity that the Tang army's musket formation was too close, and in the burst of gunfire, countless Goguryeo soldiers and civilians who tried to rush through the corpse mountain could only fall helplessly, and the corpse mountain was built a few points higher. But none of them could rush to the front of the Tang army.

Miserable, incomparably miserable, there was a crazy killing of the Tang army's musket team in front of it, and there was a fire in the back, and the poor more than 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers and civilians were crowded on the slope in such a dilemma, and the whole scene was immediately chaotic, even if some of them were fast, they ran into the houses on the side of the street, trying to escape from this catastrophe from elsewhere, but unexpectedly, the Tang army had already taken precautions, and the isolation zone that took a few hours to push out became the life and death line of the Goguryeo army and civilians, and anyone who wanted to escape died tragically in front of the Tang army's array.

Killing, boundless killing, poor Goguryeo soldiers and civilians can't move forward, and can't retreat, they can only huddle together in the middle of the street, screaming wildly, shouting helplessly, what's even more terrible is that the fire in the inner city has begun to spread to the outer city, countless sparks fall on the long street by the slope with the wind, igniting the houses on the side of the street, the smoke is filled, and the crowd tramples on each other, and countless people are silently turned into corpses in this chaos, and the miserable state is that even the Tang officers and soldiers who were ordered to block the attack have seen it, They all felt unbearable, but without orders, no one dared to stop, so they could only shoot numbly or slash with knives, turning the panicked people into corpses.

"Your Highness, the thief army is no longer able to resist, can you stop the attack first, and the last general is willing to persuade him to surrender again, and I implore His Highness for permission." Gao Yanshou saw that the scene of this massacre was too miserable, and he didn't care about his identity as a general, so he stood up from the side, and said with a sad face.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that what General Gao said is reasonable, and I implore Your Highness for your permission." Although Cheng Mingzhen is a veteran of a hundred battles and an absolute decisive, he has never been a person who kills indiscriminately, and he had the heart to intercede for the people in the city when he was outside the city before.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that General Gao's strategy is feasible."

"Your Highness, the last general is willing to accompany General Gao on a trip."

"Your Highness thinks twice."

……

All the generals were murderous and unblinking in the battle array, but in the face of such cruel and ruthless killings, they all felt a little chill in their hearts, and when they saw that someone took the lead in asking for help, they all echoed it.

Li Zhen was not originally a person who loved to kill, but over the years, he had experienced so many ups and downs, and he had already trained his heart to be as hard as iron, and this time he broke through Anshi City, he didn't think about completely slaughtering the city according to the will left by Li Shimin, however, for the inner city, Li Zhen was determined to come to a complete annihilation, not for anything else, but to establish his prestige, and set an example for those Goguryeo cities who dared to resist, so as to reduce the resistance of this way to Pyongyang, but at this time, all the generals had come forward to intercede, Li Zhenzi didn't want to ignore the generals, and when he saw that the crowd on the long street had been killed, and no one dared to climb the corpse mountain in the middle of the street, he frowned lightly and said: "Okay, since General Gao intercedes, Lone can give this generation another chance to choose, pass the order down, stop shooting!" ”

A group of Tang army musketeers are selected from the Western Regions armies of a hundred battles, each with countless blood on their hands, for them, killing people is just an ordinary thing, but killing the enemy on the battle battlefield and killing the people who have no power to resist are completely different things, this Tongzi shot down, all of them are sore, but they were previously bound by the order, and did not dare to stop. On the battlefield, only the heart-rending howls of the Goguryeo people still rang non-stop.

Gao Yanshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the musket team had stopped shooting, and hurriedly stood up, bowed to Li Zhen and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your magnanimity, the old minister will go to persuade him to surrender, and please wait for His Highness." ”

"Well, then there is Lao Gao Aiqing." Li Zhen smiled gently, raised his hand falsely, and signaled that Gao Yanshou did not need to be formal.

"Don't dare, the old minister retired." Gao Yanshou replied respectfully, took two steps back, and then turned around, led a few personal soldiers, and hurriedly walked towards the corpse mountain not far away.

Gao Yanshou was originally an important minister of Goguryeo, and a member of the Goguryeo royal family, although after the battle of Niulanshan the year before last, he had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, which has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but deep down in his heart he still regarded Goguryeo as his motherland, and at this time he stepped on the corpses of the soldiers and civilians in the city and walked forward, Gao Yanshou's heart was so heavy that he was dripping blood, but he didn't dare to say everything, so he could only walk to the corpse mountain with one foot high and one foot low, while quietly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes under the pretense of brushing the smoke in front of him. Stumbling all the way over the corpse mountain, I saw countless soldiers and civilians in Anshi scurrying around the streets without a head, and the crying was deafening.

"Alas, if you knew today, why bother in the first place." Gao Yanshou saw the miserable situation of the people in the city huddled into a ball struggling to survive, shook his head with a wry smile, muttered a sentence in his mouth, and then immediately retracted his mind, and said with enough luck: "Yang Wanchun, Gao Huailong, where are you waiting?" The old man came on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and invited the two of them to come out for a while. Gao Yanshou shouted like this, and the panicked soldiers and civilians noticed that the gunfire like fried beans had stopped at some point, and they all settled down a little, and they all stood in fear, looking around, trying to find the location of Gao and Yang.

"It's Lord Yang, Lord Yang is here." I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and all the eyes of everyone were attracted at once, but among the dozen or so soldiers holding sharp blades, Yang Wanchun, who was wearing a tattered official robe, was slowly coming out of the crowd, although his body was embarrassed, but his face was still very calm, and from time to time he nodded to the soldiers and civilians around him who greeted him - during the previous chaos, Yang Wanchun was desperately guarded by the guards in the middle, although he was not injured, but it was still inevitable to be pushed, and the official robe on his body was torn into a broken sack in the chaos.

"General Gao is invited, Yang is here, please say anything you want." Yang Wanchun strode to the pile of corpses, glanced up at Gao Yanshou, and said very calmly.

Looking at Yang Wanchun's haggard face, Gao Yanshou couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and said with a long sigh: "Brother Yang is loyal to his ministers, and he is not far away, however, today's major event has been decided, no matter how much he insists, it is just a futile injury to the lives of the people, it is really useless, the old man can't bear to see it, I specially ask His Royal Highness to be gracious, if Brother Yang is willing to surrender, the people in the city can live because of this, where to go, only ask Brother Yang to choose for himself." When Gao Yanshou said this, he paused, looked into the crowd, and then asked hesitantly, "Why don't you see Brother Huailong?" ”

Yang Wanchun patronized the crowd to kill out of the city gate before, and did not notice Gao Huailong's figure, at this time he heard Gao Yanshou ask, he was also stunned, looked back at the crowd, waited for a while, and did not see Gao Huailong coming out, this thought that Gao Huailong had died in the chaos of the army, and couldn't help but be gloomy in his heart, and turned around silently, just about to reply to Gao Yanshou's question, but saw a burst of chaos in the crowd, and the general Hou Tao walked out with a bloody horizontal knife in his hand, and knelt straight in front of Yang Wanchun. cried loudly: "Lord Yang, General Gao refuses to abandon the city, he has already killed himself, only the saber is here, please Lord Yang to take a look." ”

"Ah......" When Yang Wanchun heard this, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, stretched out his trembling hands, took the horizontal knife from Hou Tao's hand, held it in his hand, and cried with tears: "General Gao, it was Yang who dragged you down, you go well, Yang will then go down to accompany you......" Yang Wanchun cried like this, and all the soldiers and civilians cried loudly, and the originally slightly stable scene was immediately chaotic again.

Gao Huailong is Gao Yanshou's old subordinate, and Gao Yanshou's cousin, the feelings for each other in the early years were still very deep, at this time hearing the news of Gao Huailong's suicide, Gao Yanshou's heart was also very uncomfortable, but when he saw that the fire on both sides of the street was getting bigger and bigger, it was already a little difficult to breathe, so he had to restrain the grief in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to Yang Wanchun: "Brother Yang, the fire is getting bigger, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, where to go, please choose it as soon as possible." ”

As soon as Gao Yanshou shouted like this, the soldiers and civilians who were crying loudly immediately quieted down, and all their eyes were focused on Yang Wanchun's body, although no one opened his mouth to urge, but all his faces showed were the expectation of survival, which made Yang Wanchun even more heartbroken, and he waved his hand and said: "The two countries are at war, the people are innocent, Yang is incompetent, and the fathers and villagers have suffered, and now that the war has been defeated, Yang has borne all the blame, please ask General Gao to give His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty and spare the lives of the people of the city. Yang is here, if you want to kill or chop, it's all up to you to deal with it. ”

"Lord Yang, you can't."

"Lord Yang, you can't die."

"Lord Yang, we are willing to advance and retreat with you."

……

As soon as Yang Wanchun said this, all the soldiers and civilians wept again, some screamed, some knelt on the ground and begged, and rushed forward to protect Yang Wanchun.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, Yang, Yang is incompetent, you have done your best, the city is broken and Fei'er and other crimes of not fighting, all of them are the fault of me Yang, please get up quickly, put down your blades, go out, go quickly, Yang begs you." With tears in his eyes, Yang Wanchun fell to his knees and persuaded everyone bitterly.

A group of soldiers and civilians saw Yang Wanchun do this, they were very sad, but in the face of the threat of death, at the end, they still had the upper hand in survival, after a period of silence, I don't know who took the lead in dropping the blade in their hands, making a shrill crisp sound, and then the jingling sound quickly sounded, and one after another someone squeezed out of the crowd, raised their hands, lowered their heads and walked quickly past Yang Wanchun's side, climbed the corpse mountain, and hurriedly walked towards the Tang army array, Then a large number of people silently bypassed Yang Wanchun's body, sobbing and embarked on the road of surrender, and in a few moments, the streets were empty, leaving only more than 200 officers and soldiers still in place, silently guarding Yang Wanchun who knelt on the ground, including the general Hou Tao.

"Lord Yang, everyone is gone, you should hurry up, the fire is getting bigger and bigger." Hou Taolong walked forward invinciblely, stretched out his hand and tried to support Yang Wanchun's body, but as soon as he took his hand, he knew that something was wrong, and when he looked again, he found that Yang Wanchun had inserted the saber left by Gao Huailong into his chest at some point, and he had already lost his breath.

"Lord Yang, why did you go like this, God, you are unfair......" Hou Tao was startled, hurriedly hugged Yang Wanchun's body, looked up to the sky and cried, and the remaining sergeants also cried loudly, and Gao Yanshou, who was standing on the mountain of corpses, also cried sadly.

"Lord Yang, you go, the last general will go down with you!" After Hou Tao hugged Yang Wanchun's body and cried for a while, he carefully placed Yang Wanchun's remains on the ground, shook his hand, pulled out the saber on his waist, roared, and then crossed his neck, pulled hard, and a large stream of blood gushed out from the wound, Hou Tao's body shook a few times, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Lord Yang is leaving, General Hou is waiting, I'll wait for this!" As soon as Hou Tao died, the more than 200 soldiers drew their knives and killed themselves, and the corpses fell to the ground.

"Alas......" Gao Yanshou, who was standing on the top of the corpse mountain, saw Yang, Hou and others killing themselves in the city, Long Wudi's heart suddenly sank uncomfortable, stood silently for a long time, sighed, turned around, walked down the corpse mountain with his body on his back, walked slowly to Li Zhenma, lowered his head and said: "Your Royal Highness, Gao and Yang have already killed themselves, and the old man failed to persuade him to surrender, which is a big crime, and I implore His Highness to punish him." ”

"Gao Aiqing has worked hard and made great achievements, what a crime, just the two of them, they can be regarded as seeking benevolence, passing on the order of orphans, and burying them!" For the two generals Gao and Yang, Li Zhen has learned a lot from different sides, and he has long expected that this will be the end, but as soon as the thing is done, Li Zhen still can't help but feel emotional, after dropping the sentence, he led a group of guards to turn around and go out of the city.

The battle of Anshi City began on the eighth day of June and ended on the fourth day of July, although it lasted nearly a month, in fact, the city was broken in one day, and ended with a great victory for the Tang army, it was a battle, the Tang army suffered more than 2,300 wounds and 2,100 deaths, and achieved a major victory of nearly 30,000 enemies. Xue Wanche's headquarters under Zhou Liucheng also started a new round of offensive, and the Tang Dynasty Navy finally ushered in a formidable opponent - the Wa State Naval Division with 32,000 troops, and the two sides launched a life-and-death duel in the upper reaches of the Baicun River......
