In fact, there is not much strategy to speak of in the siege of this era, relying on most of the soldiers' blood and bravery, especially when such a strong attack, it is even more so, there are not many warriors who regard death as if they were going to rush to the city one after another, there is no possibility of capturing the city, and the most important thing in the siege war is the first attack, although it is not necessarily the first time to rush to the city to be able to take the city, but rushing to the city is the goal that must be achieved, which is not only the intention of testing the weak links of the defenders, The main thing is to set an example for the follow-up troops to storm the city, so that the tragedy of the war is inevitable......

The fierce general Liu Tietao won the heavy task of the first attack this time, and wanted to make immortal achievements, regardless of the ban that the main general was not allowed to arrive in the army under the city, he personally led the army to rush to the city, and saw the chaos at the head of the city, his heart was overjoyed, and he did not hesitate to give the order to rush to the city.

The so-called rush to the city is not to erect the ladder, the soldiers climb up according to the practice of siege, often a group of soldiers are responsible for a ladder, when the ladder has not been erected, there is a soldier standing at the top, this soldier is the strongest in a group, when the soldiers lean the ladder on the city, the brave man will use his strength to climb the city, desperately fight with the defenders, in order to cover their own soldiers to go to the city one after another, whether the besieging party can successfully kill the city, The key is whether the brave man who stormed the city can hold the position of the ladder and win the opportunity for his follow-up troops to go up to the city to open the gap.

At this time, the Tang army that rushed to the city quickly erected the ladder, and leaned towards the city, trying to hit the Goguryeo army by surprise, however, the Goguryeo side that had no way to retreat was willing to give in, not waiting for the Tang army's ladder to come over, nearly a thousand archers were already shooting arrows together, the goal was to take the Tang army on the ladder of the warrior who rushed to the city, at such a close distance, the Tang army warriors who relied on a horizontal knife to block the arrow rain were naturally no backhand, after a rain of arrows, most of the warriors who rushed to the city were shot by feather arrows, They all screamed and fell down the ladder, only a dozen lucky soldiers escaped the sack of the rain of arrows, taking advantage of the gap between the Goguryeo crossbowmen to get arrows, took advantage of the situation to turn over the city, desperately fought with the surrounding Goguryeo soldiers, trying to buy a little more time for the follow-up of their own follow-up troops in the city, how can the brave among the soldiers is really limited, although they have tried their best, but still can not compete with the defenders who are numerous, not counting, they have all died tragically under the swords and guns of the defenders, and the Tang army's action to storm the city was unsuccessful.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Tang army rushing to the city had been exterminated, Gao Huailong did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this, shouted, personally picked up a long fork, hit the ladder, roared, and several soldiers around him, tried his best to push the ladder away from the city, the Tang officers and soldiers attached to it screamed and fell down the ladder, fell in the crowd, and fell half dead when they landed, at the same time, nearly 3,000 Goguryeo defenders picked up the wooden rolling stones and threw them desperately to suppress the Tang army's action of climbing the city, The Goguryeo crossbowmen who had relieved themselves also leaned against the city plate one after another, desperately shooting arrows downward, and in an instant, the city wailed again and again, and the Tang army vanguard who besieged the city suffered extremely heavy casualties, but at this moment, the cavalry arranged by the Tang army on both wings rushed forward, constantly shooting arrows at the city head, covering the infantry with a rain of arrows to support the infantry siege action, and in an instant, the Goguryeo crossbowmen who poked their heads out of the city to shoot were also shot down a large area, and the blood flowed like a river above and below the city, and there were corpses everywhere, The whole asura hell of the world.

Liu Tietao, who was commanding the battle under the city, saw that his soldiers had lost nearly half, but they had never been able to rush to the city, so he became anxious, scolded, grabbed a personal guard beside him, raised his voice, and shouted and ordered:

; The guard didn't expect Liu Tietao to give such an order, so he was stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Tietao puzzled, after all, his own siege troops were also under the city at this time, once the trebuchet was launched, his own siege troops would be attacked by flying stones, and accidental injuries were absolutely inevitable.

Liu Tietao saw that the guard didn't move, so he became angry, flew up, kicked the guard, and scolded with red eyes.

The guard made sure that Liu Tietao was not smiling, so he hurriedly turned over and ran towards the trebuchet position in the distance.

After the beginning of the storm, Luo Zhengsheng, who had nothing to do, was taken aback when he heard the herald's request.

Although the guard didn't understand Liu Tietao's desperate order, he still patiently explained.

; Luo Zhengsheng didn't dare to make a decision easily, he hesitated for a while and didn't give an order, but he didn't think that the guard next to him quickly pulled out his waist knife, put it on Luo Zhengsheng's neck, and shouted:

; It was actually coerced by a small soldier, which really made Luo Zhengsheng angry, just thinking about scolding, suddenly felt a pain in his neck, the guard had opened a small bloody mouth on Luo Zhengsheng's neck, and Luo Zhengsheng, who was in pain, hurriedly retracted the scolding words, and then saw that the guard was already in a state of madness with red eyes, and in desperation, he had to wave the small red flag in his hand heavily, and some of them ordered weakly:

As soon as the red flag fell, it was a military order, although Luo Zhengsheng was held hostage at this time, but the military order was still a military order, the red flag fell, and the officers and soldiers responsible for the trebuchet operation had to act according to the order even if they were reluctant, and in an instant, the Tang Army's trebuchet position, which had been silent for a long time, boiled again, and after a sound of machine springs, more than 100 huge stone bullets rose into the sky again, whistling and drawing a parabola in the air, flying in the direction of the city, and it had fallen with a bang without counting breaths, in a huge wave, The defenders who were caught off guard at the head of the city were smashed into a chicken and a dog, and hundreds of Goguryeo defenders who could not dodge were smashed into minced meat by the indiscriminate flying missiles, and at the same time, more than a dozen stone bullets that were not accurate enough fell into the Tang army camp under the city, which also caused a lot of casualties among the Tang officers and soldiers.

Liu Tietao didn't care about the life and death of the soldiers who were injured by missiles at all, and when he heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling on the city, he became excited, roared, and personally climbed on the end of a ladder, and loudly ordered his soldiers to erect a ladder, and he was about to charge the city in person.

As soon as he saw that Liu Tietao, the main general, was about to rush into the city in person, Xiao Yaotian, the deputy general standing not far behind him, was in a hurry, rushed forward in a few big strides, grabbed Liu Tietao, and said loudly to dissuade him.

Liu Tietao knew that the chaos brought to the defenders by the attack of the flying stone was only temporary, and the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to go to the city was fleeting, so he leaned down on the head of the ladder, pushed Xiao Yaotian away hard, and roared angrily.

Xiao Yaotian saw that Liu Tietao was so persistent, he didn't dare to persuade again, waved his hand, and gave an order in a loud voice, Liu Tietao's personal guards, who had already been ready, quickly lifted up the ladder, erected it, and leaned towards the city wall vigorously, not waiting for the ladder to lean on the city, he saw Liu Tietao roar, and with a force under his feet, the person had already taken off and flew up, and actually climbed over the ladder and fell on the top of the city, and at this time, the defenders on the head of the city had not yet woken up from the previous sudden flying stone attack, For a while, no one went to intercept Liu Tietao, who rushed to the city.

Liu Tietao rolled, taking advantage of the momentum to unload the momentum of the city, his wrist shook during the rolling, and the horizontal knife in his hand spilled a large piece of stealing light, cutting off the feet and necks of several Goguryeo soldiers who rushed over after hearing the news, and then roared, turned sideways and let several spears that crossed and stabbed, and with a twist of his body, the horizontal knife in his hand slashed out a few knives, cutting the two Goguryeo soldiers who had lost their balance by stabbing the spear in two, regardless of the blood that was splashed all over his face. In this way, he was strangled with the besieging Goguryeo soldiers, and he was really majestic, like a killing god from hell.

As soon as Xiao Yaotian saw that Liu Tietao had turned over the city, he shouted loudly, and in an instant, the vanguard troops of the Tang Army, whose morale had been a little low, became excited, shouted, and climbed desperately along the ladder, especially the ladder where Liu Tietao was, and the guards who were afraid that Liu Tietao would lose were even more desperate to rush up along the high ladder, even if the comrades in front of them were shot by the random arrows at the head of the city and fell down miserably, they were not afraid at all.

Compared with the high morale of the Tang army, the Goguryeo defenders who were disgraced by the missile attack were a little chaotic at this time, and then saw that the Tang army had successively turned over from the passage guarded by Liu Tietao to the city, and the morale of the defenders was even more low, if it were not for the belief that they did not want to be slaughtered, the Goguryeo defenders at this time would have already fallen into a state of collapse.

The offensive and defensive battles of the city are often like this, either the attack and defense can not open the gap, but once there is a gap in the city, it will immediately cause a chain effect, then there will be a gap to be broken through, at this time is also like this, since Liu Tietao personally killed the city, because the rest of the Goguryeo defenders were attracted by it, the Tang army seized the fighter and opened four or five big gaps in one fell swoop, and a steady stream of Tang officers and soldiers killed the city, and the Goguryeo defenders launched a bloody battle on the city, and the gaps continued to expand, The situation for the Goguryeo defenders has reached the last moment, once the city wall is broken, the Tang army that surging into the city will be unstoppable, and once the city is broken, nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians will not be spared.

Li Shimin, who was watching the battle from the Chinese army, saw that after a burst of flying stones, the Tang army had taken advantage of the situation to kill the city, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he applauded and said:

;;

As soon as they saw that Li Shimin was happy, all the generals were also very excited, and they all said flattering words with a smile, as if the city had been broken.

Seeing that the Tang army's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, Gao Huailong transferred reinforcements from the city several times to support, but he was never able to curb the Tang army's action to expand the breakthrough.

Gao Kening, who had just led the army to rush to the head of the city, saw that his father had personally swung his sword into battle, he exclaimed, and rushed over with a spear in his hand, covering Gao Huailong's back road.

The Tang army rushed to the city at this time, but it was all in the south gate area, as for the east gate at the Zhang Junyi department but never rushed to the city, but after the Goguryeo reinforcements rushed to the city, they were beaten so that they couldn't lift their heads, every time the ladder was just erected, and it was pushed away by a fork before it was close to the city wall, and after more than half of the troops were killed and wounded, they retreated without a fight, so that the defenders of the Goguryeo East Gate without the enemy in front of them immediately rushed towards the south gate, Liu Tietao's subordinates, who were fighting endlessly at the south gate, immediately fell into a bitter battle with no support, and the originally good situation of the Tang army was reversed because of this.

Xiao Yaotian, who had just led the rearguard troops to rush to the head of the city, swept the corner of his eyes to the withdrawal of Zhang Junyi's troops at the east gate, and his heart was in a hurry, brandishing a horizontal knife, and successively slashed and killed several Goguryeo officers and soldiers who were blocking the way, and killed Liu Tietao's side, pulling his throat and screaming anxiously.

Liu Tietao was originally killing smoothly, and suddenly found that the strength of the defenders' resistance suddenly became much stronger, and he was suspicious, at this time, he heard Xiao Yaotian say that the Tang army at the east gate had retreated, and he was taken aback when he landed, and forced away the enemy in front of him with a few knives, and retreated to the city wall under the cover of Xiao Yaotian and others to look down, and the Tang army at the east gate had retreated, and his own troops who could kill the head of the city had already gone to the city, and there was no backup under the city, as for the second wave of siege troops of the Tang army that was setting off, it was still in the process of mobilization. For a while, he couldn't support his own department in time, and then looked back, Goguryeo reinforcements were constantly driving up the city, and they finally opened a few gaps in the city, and now only two Wuzi are still holding on, but the space has been constantly compressed, and no matter what, it can't hold on to the arrival of the second wave of Tang army reinforcements.

Liu Tietao is not a fool, how can he not see that Zhang Junyi's intention to suddenly withdraw his troops is just that he doesn't want to see himself make the first contribution to breaking the city, he is angry in his heart, pointing to the direction of Zhang Junyi's department and scolding angrily, he turned around and fought hard to Xiao Yaotian's side, the horizontal knife in his hand was wide open, and the Goguryeo defenders who came over were killed one by one under the knife, taking advantage of the slight frustration of the Goguryeo army's courage, hesitated and did not dare to force him to come forward, pulled Xiao Yaotian's shoulder, and shouted:

; Xiao Yaotian didn't expect Liu Tietao to kill him again, he was in a hurry, and just thought about persuading again, but saw that Liu Tietao led the last few guards around him to kill the Goguryeo army that could not advance like a tiger into a flock, and in desperation, he stomped his feet heavily, and led the remnants of more than 200 remnants of the army to retreat down the ladder to the head of the city and retreat back to their main position.

Liu Tietao is a fierce general, a body of martial arts is not under the Hou Guozhong of the year, many years of battlefield experience, but also added to the killing spirit of his body, at this time desperately up, since it is majestic, where it passes, the corpses are all over the field, the blockers are invincible, under the horizontal knife, there is almost no enemy, Shengsheng relied on his own strength, blocked the Goguryeo defenders who were constantly besieged from both ends of the city wall, even if the last guard around him had been killed, Liu Tietao still stood firm, covered in blood, The whole person was like being fished out of a pool of blood, and he did not know whether the blood was left by the enemy or his own.

Seeing that Liu Tietao had blocked thousands of his own troops with his own strength, Gao Huailong's heart was furious, raised his voice, and roared, but he never thought that Liu Tietao, who was in the fierce battle, heard Gao Huailong's order, and suddenly turned around, and the knife flew out to defeat the dozen or so Goguryeo defenders who rushed up, rolled on the spot, picked up a horizontal knife that I didn't know who lost it, and by feeling, I threw it violently at the beginning of the horn, and the knife flew towards Gao Huailong who was standing in a high place like lightning.

Gao Kening, who was standing beside Gao Huailong with a gun, heard the movement wrong, and hurriedly attacked a grab, trying to block the sudden knife, but he didn't expect the knife to be too fast, Gao Kening's hurried shot actually picked a gap, the knife was like a flying rainbow towards Gao Huailong, and Gao Huailong, who was caught off guard, only had time to twist his waist, which was considered to be too critical, but he couldn't avoid this rapid knife, but he felt a pain in his shoulder, and the knife was already in the shoulder. But it also hurt so much that Gao Huailong screamed.

As soon as Gao Kening saw that his father had been stabbed, he was in a hurry, hurriedly dropped the spear in his hand, held the crumbling Gao Huailong, and shouted the order to release the arrows. It was not clear whether Liu Tietao was dead or alive The Goguryeo defenders hesitated for a long time before someone had the courage to step forward and stab them with a gun, but saw Liu Tietao fall to the ground with a gun, and a brave general had died at the head of Anshi City.

After Liu Tietao's death was confirmed, the defenders' excited shouts sounded at the head of Anshi City after the fierce battle, however, they didn't wait for them to be happy for long, but they heard a strong whistling sound suddenly The Tang Army's trebuchet fired again, and in an instant, more than 100 huge stone bullets were once again overwhelming towards the heads of the cheering defenders, and the cheers immediately turned into ghosts crying wolf howls;
