Chapter 532: Bloody Washing of Anshi City (3)

The battle of the city defense is the first in the city wall, once the city wall is broken, then the war will be destroyed, this is the eternal truth also, but all the generals do not know the details, on the occasion of the Tang army taking advantage of the chaos to kill the city, all the Goguryeo officers and soldiers all understand that this battle has reached the last moment, if there is no miracle, I am afraid that it will be irretrievable, and then behind them is the homeland, a group of soldiers have no way to retreat, although they are afraid of the power of the Tang army's explosion, it is inevitable that some hands and feet are sore, but they still desperately launched a decisive counterattack against the Tang army, As for the Tang officers and soldiers who broke through the city wall, when they saw the dawn of victory, how could they retreat, and they also broke out with the strongest shouts, desperately attacking forward, and the two sides collided head-on, and the battle instantly reached a white-hot level.

Kill, kill again, the two sides are strangled at the head of the city, at the fall of the city, wave the knife, wave the knife again, either you die or I die, the head can be broken, the blood can flow, the life can be lost, just can't retreat, the knife is blunt, pinch with the hand, the hand is broken, kick with the leg, the hands and feet are broken, the teeth, even if it is dead, you have to pull a few more pads, all the people are in a frenzy, the two sides add up to nearly 10,000 people and horses on this narrow strip of land to kill in the dark, inextricably linked, wailing, screaming, shouting, The sound of the blades and flesh is mixed together, intertwined into a picture of a flesh and blood mill, the whole battlefield is full of corpses, blood flows, how many lives are not enough to fill in, a thousand people fill in, no effect, two thousand people kill it, it still can't solve the problem, the battle has been open for more than half an hour, but the war has always been anxious, which makes Cheng Wu, who wants to succeed in the first battle, so angry that the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

"Report, General Cheng, His Royal Highness has something to say, ask General Cheng if he needs reinforcements?" Just when Cheng Wuting was angry, a newspaper horse rushed over from behind the formation, stood up nearby, clasped his hands into fists, and asked respectfully.

"Huh?" Cheng Wuting was already angry, but when he was provoked by these words, his eyes immediately became bloodshot and red, and he roared angrily: "No need, if you can't take the outer city, this general will die in the city!" As soon as the words fell, no matter what the reaction of the newspaper horse was, he suddenly turned back, drew his knife in his hand, looked at the last thousand subordinates lined up under the city, and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, and rushes to the city with this general, and there is no retreat in today's battle, those who advance are alive, and those who retreat are killed, do you dare to kill thieves with this general?" ”

"Datang is mighty, Datang is mighty!" All the Tang troops are fierce soldiers in a hundred battles, how can they let people look down on themselves, especially if this kind of questioning is still from His Royal Highness the Prince, which makes the big guy feel a kind of anger in his heart that he is looked down upon, and then when he heard Cheng Wuting give the order to fight to the death, they all shouted loudly, and the heart of death was overflowing.

"Kill it!" Cheng Wuting raised the horizontal knife in his hand, roared, and rushed towards the city fall, and the thousands of warriors behind him who were holding back their strength were not far behind, and they all shouted wildly and followed behind Cheng Wuting, rushing towards the place where the city fell like an angry tornado.

In the previous bitter battle, at the beginning, the Tang army relied on the suddenness of the attack and the shock of the big explosion to gain the upper hand, but as time went by, the original advantage was gradually lost, and the Goguryeo army with superior forces pulled back the situation - on the city wall, near the end of the city gate tower, the Tang army once seized the city gate tower, but unfortunately before it had time to rush down the city along the stairs on the side of the city gate tower, the Goguryeo army's counterattack was killed, and the two sides launched a bloody battle at the entrance of the stairs, At the beginning, the Tang army killed the corpses of the defenders all over the field, but with the follow-up forces of the Goguryeo army continued to be transferred to the city, and the Tang army was unable to concentrate its troops because of the need to climb the ladder to the city, it could only play the effect of adding oil, although the combat power of the Tang soldiers was much higher than that of the defenders, and the courage to fight to the death was not lower than that of the defenders, but it was gradually pressed out of the location of the city gate tower. The Tang army also encountered the resistance of the defenders who rushed to reinforce from the east and south gates, although they had a slight advantage and stopped the defenders' attempt to close the breakthrough, but it was still a stalemate, as for the battle where the city fell, under the full counterattack of the defenders, the Tang army suffered a lot of losses, not only failed to take advantage of the chaos to rush into the city, but was pressed back to the peak of the pile of rocks, fortunately, at this time, the defenders encountered the difficulty of climbing and unable to concentrate superior forces, and after several fights, they never drove the Tang army down the pile of rocks. The two sides formed a tug-of-war at the peak, for a while the Tang army occupied the peak, and for a while the defenders launched a counterattack and recaptured the lost territory, just like this, the two sides came and went, each did not give in, the casualties of each other were amazingly high, on the small pile of rocks, the two sides together dropped more than 1,500 lives, the corpses on the whole pile of stones were in disarray, and the large and small stones were almost all dyed into a dazzling red by the blood left by the soldiers on both sides.

Fighting snakes is to hit seven inches, this Cheng Wuting knows in his heart, although at this time he is angry in his heart, but he is not out of proportion because of this, although he knows that the battle on both sides of the city wall is quite tight, Cheng Wuting did not pay much attention, led the last 1,000 men and horses directly rushed to the key to the city collapse of the city, but saw Cheng Wu stepped forward to squeeze out the chaotic soldiers, rushed to the peak in one breath, and saw that more than 20 soldiers on his side were fighting with more than 30 defenders, Cheng Wuting roared wildly, the horizontal knife in his hand ran like flying, slashing left and right, killing like a mad tiger, the knife rose and fell, there was no enemy, and in an instant, more than ten people were killed, relying on his own strength, and the stubborn resistance of the defenders was pressed off the peak.

"Kill! Kill all the thieves, kill! Cheng Wuting was splashed with blood all over his body, like a demon god from hell, roared and continued to rush down to kill, the horizontal knife in his hand ran like flying, and the enemies in front of him were cut under the knife, like a tiger like a flock of sheep in the group of defenders to kill a big gap, the Tang army soldiers who followed closely behind him saw this, their morale was greatly boosted, and they swarmed along the breakthrough that Cheng Wuting tore into the chaos. As most of the Tang army rushed through the city trap, a turning point in the war appeared!

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows, shoot that guy!" Cheng Dawu, who was commanding the battle behind the Goguryeo army, saw that Cheng Wuting was so brave, and he became anxious, shouted, and ordered dozens of crossbowmen around him to release arrows, trying to take advantage of the chaos to shoot Cheng Wuting on the spot.

"General be careful!" Cheng Wuting was so good at killing that he didn't notice the sneak attack of the Goguryeo crossbowmen at all, but several Tang soldiers guarding him saw the sneak attack of the defenders, and each shouted and pounced in front of Cheng Wuting, forming a wall of flesh, and used their flesh and blood to block the indiscriminate arrows.

"Yike...... Take your life! Cheng Wuting watched the four subordinates die tragically in order to block the arrows for himself, and while he was distressed, he roared angrily, not caring that there were still scattered feather arrows flying around, he jumped up, jumped over the corpse team in front of him, and wildly killed Cheng Dawu who was hiding in the chaos of the army.

"Block, get on, block him!" As soon as Cheng Dawu saw Cheng Wuting rushing over desperately, his heart was weak for a while, and he didn't dare to step forward to engage in the battle, so he yelled and drove a group of his subordinates around him to come forward to block the attack, but he himself quietly retreated.

"Kill, when I die!" As soon as he saw that Cheng Dawu was about to escape, Cheng Wuting was willing to let go, and the horizontal knife in his hand was rounded a few times, slashing and killing several defender soldiers who dared to rush forward on the spot, but the pace did not slow down a little, roaring all the way to the front of Cheng Dawu, jumped up suddenly, and shouted: "Look at the knife!" The horizontal knife in his hand was raised high, and a move of "force splitting Huashan" covered Cheng Dawu's head and slashed down.

Cheng Dawu Suri is also a self-appointed brave warrior, but who has ever seen such a brave general as Cheng Wuting, as soon as he saw Cheng Wuting swinging a knife and killing him, he didn't have the slightest courage to resist at all, "oops", dropped the waist knife in his hand, and rolled to the side in a panic.

Cheng Wuting's knife has already used the strength of his whole body, and he sank vigorously, unable to hold the knife, unable to change his moves, and did not expect Cheng Dawu to be shameless to such a field, a knife went empty, and the blade attached to Cheng Dawu's body slashed heavily on the ground paved with stone slabs, and actually smashed a thick stone slab three feet square into pieces, and broke out with a loud "bang" sound, and the gravel flew around, and the momentum was terrifying.

Run, run! Cheng Dawu was smashed on his forehead by the splashed rubble, his face was covered with blood, and then he saw that Cheng Wuting had raised a knife to kill again, and under the heartbreak, he no longer had the courage to fight, so he didn't care much, got up, left behind the group of men who were still in the chaotic battle, and fled along the long street to the inner city.

"Phew, bastard!" Cheng Wuting didn't expect Cheng Dawu to flee like this, he snorted angrily, didn't go after him, roared into the chaos, and took those stubborn Goguryeo officers and soldiers to vent his anger.

Cheng Dawu didn't know how to escape, and the morale of the Goguryeo army, which had been killed by the Tang army in a hurry, instantly fell to the bottom, and the deserters appeared one after another, and the already unstable defense line was rushed by the surging follow-up troops of the Tang army, and it was like a paper paste, and completely collapsed, and even the Goguryeo defenders who were originally guarding the steps of the city gate tower were also rushed to pieces by their own chaotic soldiers.

As soon as the gap in the city was opened, more and more Tang officers and soldiers rushed into the city, and when they saw that their situation was very good, how could they be polite to the defenders, so they struck while the iron was hot, and chased and killed the rebels in all directions, killing the defenders with fear, even though some of the defenders were desperately resisting under the command of Gao Huailong and other generals, but it was an indisputable fact that the general trend had gone.

"Block, block, sons, don't mess around, kill the Tang thief!" Seeing that his own situation had reached the point of being out of control, Gao Huailong was anxious, regardless of his identity as the main general, he led a group of guards to personally kill the front line, and fought endlessly with the Tang officers and soldiers who rushed to kill, shouting incessantly, desperately cheering for his officers and soldiers.

Gao Huailong's general armor is extremely dazzling in the chaos of the army, since it has attracted the focus of many Tang officers and soldiers, countless Tang soldiers who are eager to make great contributions all rushed to Gao Huailong's location, slashing wildly, spears and stabs, a few under the face, gathered around Gao Huailong A group of soldiers have fallen, to the end, only more than 30 soldiers are still maintained by Gao Huailong's side, and at this time, there are more than 150 Tang officers and soldiers around Gao Huailong and others, seeing that they are already unable to escape this catastrophe, Gao Huailong closed his eyes in pain, and he didn't want to fall into the hands of the Tang army, he raised the waist knife that cut out several big gaps, and was ready to kill himself to martyr the city, but at this moment, a cavalry suddenly rushed along the long street, relying on the momentum of the horse to tear open the encirclement of the Tang army, and killed Gao Huailong's side, and the first person was the general Hou Tao.

"General Gao, you can't stop it, retreat, go back to the inner city, and you can still fight!" Hou Tao was originally responsible for the battle on the side of the city wall far from the gate tower, and had already occupied a certain advantage, but unfortunately the rout on the side of Cheng Dawu appeared too suddenly, Hou Tao knew that his general trend had gone, and took advantage of the fact that the Tang army had not yet been able to gain the upper hand, leading a group of men to withdraw the city wall, and when he found that Gao Huailong was surrounded, Hou Tao immediately led hundreds of cavalry to rush over, intending to forcibly save Gao Huailong from danger.

"If you don't leave, Hou Tao, go back to the inner city immediately, and tell Yang Chengshou that you must try your best to hold the inner city, and you will fight to the death here!" Gao Huailong has been in the army for a long time, and he knows that once the Tang army captures the outer city, it will be difficult to block the sharp edge of the Tang army with the not very strong inner city, and it will be difficult to escape death sooner or later, so he has the heart to fight to the end and set an example for the remaining troops to fight to the death.

"General Gao, offended!" Hou Tao saw that Gao Huailong was so persistent, and he didn't persuade him anymore, reversed his wrist, hit Gao Huailong's neck with the back of the knife, knocked Gao Huailong unconscious, and then stretched out his hand, dragged Gao Huailong onto the horse, and led a group of cavalry to roar out of the encirclement again......

"Report, General Cheng has led his troops to break through the enemy city!"

"Report, General Cheng has broken through the enemy's line, and the enemy has begun to disperse!"

……

The Central Military Department of the Tang Army, a horse came one after another, and transmitted the report of the real-time battle situation to Li Zhen, and when he heard that Cheng Wuting's department had already occupied the absolute upper hand, Li Zhen's hanging heart finally let go of half of it, and waved his hand and said: "Order, let Xue Rengui follow up immediately!" As soon as Li Zhen gave this order, a group of trumpeters of the Chinese army immediately blew the horn and passed the order to Xue Rengui's headquarters, and immediately, the marching drum sounded again suddenly, and Xue Rengui's headquarters, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed forward, and entered the city from the city controlled by the Tang army.

Cheng Dawu fled, Hou Tao withdrew, Gao Huailong was also rescued, the Goguryeo army was already in a state of leaderlessness, and the morale that was already low was already low to freezing point at this time, but it was barely supported by the idea of defending the homeland, and when Xue Rengui's troops rushed into the city, it immediately became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the remaining more than 5,000 Goguryeo defenders completely collapsed under the lack of fighting spirit and fighting spirit, and fled into the streets and alleys one after another, trying to avoid the butcher's knife of the Tang army.

"Quick, open the gates!" Cheng Wuting was overjoyed when he saw the defenders scattered, and he didn't care about chasing and killing the rebels, so he roared loudly, he didn't want the honor of breaking the city to fall into the hands of Xue Rengui.

A group of Tang officers and soldiers heard Cheng Wuting's order, broke out a tsunami-like shouting sound, rushed to the city gate hole in a swarm, chaotically removed the debris blocking the city gate hole, unloaded the door latch with all hands and feet, and pushed the heavy city gate open from the inside, the cavalry of the Tang army He Chengye, who had been waiting outside the city, immediately started, roared and rushed into the city, the enemy dragon ran forward along the long street, and rushed forward with the butt of the routed army all the way, so far, the outer city of Anshi City was completely under the control of the Tang army.

"Report, General Cheng's headquarters occupied the northern city, killed more than 1,000 enemies, and captured 2,000 alive."

"Report, General He's department occupies Nancheng, kills 800 enemies, and captures more than 1,000."

"Report, General Liu's department occupies Dongcheng, stands against a thousand enemies, and captures the enemy alive and will become a great force."

……

With the opening of the city gate, the Tang army poured into the city, the enemy of the entire outer city was exterminated, the good news was reported one after another to the Chinese army, all the generals were rejoicing, cheering endlessly, and some people of interest have been around Li Zhen to sing praises, the sound of praise sounded pleasant, but Li Zhen was not immersed in it, just smiled casually, noncommittal, but did not say anything to stop the congratulations of the generals.

"Report, General Xue has led the army to surround the inner city, please make it clear to His Highness, can you start storming the city?" Just when the generals were very excited, the heralds of Xue Rengui's department rushed to the Chinese army, and as soon as they saw Li Zhen's face, they immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, touched the ground on one knee, and shouted for instructions.

Li Zhen has not seen the inner city of Anshi City with his own eyes, but through the news transmitted by the "Rising Sun" personnel who are lurking in the enemy Long Wu in Anshi City, Li Zhen knows the reality of the inner city, and is not very worried that Xue Rengui will not be able to break through its city defenses, but after the previous battle, Li Zhen has a new understanding of the defenders' determination to die, and he really does not want to take the lives of the soldiers to fill the city, so he frowned slightly and said: "Pass on the order of the palace, suspend the siege, and immediately supervise all the crossbow machines of the Shenji battalion to enter the city, Preset the position for the siege of the city, and Liu Junqiong immediately led 10,000 horses into the city, and gathered the people in the city in one place, there must be no mistake! ”

"No!" Seeing that Li Zhen had given a series of orders, the herald hurriedly bowed down to answer the promise, and then jumped on his horse and hurried to deliver the order.

The first few of this series of orders have nothing to say, the left and right are just cheap battles, but the last order seems a little abnormal, as soon as this order came out, all the generals vaguely guessed the subtext that Li Zhen did not say, and their faces immediately became complicated, but no one dared to make this matter clear in front of Li Zhen......
