Chapter 148: Breaking the City! (Weekend update)
Li Guang bent his bow and arrows, and the Goguryeo soldiers who appeared at the gap were shot by him. The marksmen of the Shooting Battalion carried arrowbags on their backs and followed the main general Li Guang to shoot and kill the Goguryeo soldiers who tried to capture Tusan.
Hua Mulan held a red dragon flag in both hands, planted it on the earth mountain, and summoned more Tang and Han armies to assemble here!
Zhou Yafu's fine willow battalion, under the cover of the shooting battalion, climbed quickly, seized the commanding heights, and set up infantry crossbows!
"Occupy the territory at all costs!"
The lord of Anshi Castle handed over the command of the castle wall to the lieutenant general and personally led a team of archers and infantry to seize Tsuchiyama.
The lords of Goryeo were at a loss for what to do in the face of the sudden change in the situation, and looked at the alliance leader, Lee Min Chol.
"Yi Xuan, you lead the Beiwu class to assist the city lord in fighting for Tushan!"
After repeated brutal siege battles, Lee Min Chul gradually calmed down and knew the importance of Tushan to the defenders, so he sent the historical military general of the Goryeo Kingdom, Ijung, and the special military class of Isan.
The Bewu Class is a special type of military set up by the Goryeo Kingdom to deal with the fierce Jurchens, including the Divine Cavalry, the Divine Step, the Jumping, the Terrier Bow, the Elite Crossbow, and the Flame Army. Under the leadership of Yi Qiang, he went to support Yang Wanchun.
Xia Cheng's army reacted quickly and took the lead in occupying the ruins formed by the collapse of the territorial mountain.
The Hosoliu battalion, which was good at defense, was in the front, while Li Guang's shooting battalion was in the rear, using the terrain to hold on.
The defenders of Anseong City had realized the importance of fighting for Tusan, and one group after another of Goguryeo soldiers climbed up, and the archers fired thousands of arrows!
The soldiers of the Hosoyanagi battalion held their shields to block the rain of arrows from the defenders of Anshi City.
Zhou Yafu hid behind the stones and commanded, and the arrow rain attack of the defenders of Anshi City was fierce, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Xiliu battalion were shot.
Li Guang held the big bow and kept shooting sharp arrows. The defenders of Anshi City, who were hit by arrows, rolled down, and Yang Wanchun, who was carrying an arrow pouch, saw that the soldiers could not attack, so he could only go into battle in person.
"Lord of the city, there is a team of sharpshooters who occupy the territory mountain, and one of them shot our general!"
"Marksman?"
Yang Wanchun commanded the Goguryeo infantry to seize Tushan with his life, and led a group of Goguryeo marksmen to come forward to observe.
He saw that one of the generals on the other side was holding a big bow and using sharp arrows that could easily pierce the armor of Goguryeo soldiers, and his eyes gradually became solemn.
He is also a hero of the bow and arrow department, and Li Guang's archery level can be roughly judged.
Li Guang's archery skills are even above him.
But it's not without a chance to win.
"There is no fairness in the fight between the two armies."
Yang Wanchun sent a team of archers to the right side to attract the attention of the archery battalion, and then quietly took out an armor-piercing arrow from the quiver and placed it on the longbow.
Li Guang was successfully attracted by the Goguryeo marksman, and bent his bow to shoot a Goguryeo marksman.
The longbow was tight, and Li Guang suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and hurriedly fell forward!
The arrow was like a meteor, and an armor-piercing arrow pierced Li Guang's shoulder armor and hit Li Guang's shoulder!
Seeing that he couldn't shoot Li Guang, Yang Wanchun immediately bent his bow and prepared to shoot a second arrow.
An arrow came, but Yang Wanchun avoided it, and the sharp arrow sank directly into the clod!
Mulan took the second arrow and covered Li Guang's retreat.
"I didn't expect them to have a second marksman."
Yang Wanchun was hiding behind the clods of dirt, holding a longbow in his hand, and he was almost shot by Mulan just now. In the past, Chutian once handed over a skill book of "Hundred Steps Through Yang" to Mulan, and at this time, Mulan's archery skills played a role.
Two generals with bows and arrows took advantage of the terrain to shoot sharp arrows one after another, but they were never able to hit each other.
Although the number of the archery battalion was small, it suppressed the Goguryeo archers, and the opposing infantry lacked the cover of archers, making it difficult to attack Tusan.
"Terrier Bow and Crossbow Team to help!"
The famous Goryeo general Yi Qian led two elite squads to support Yang Wanchun, these two squads are fifth-order troops, and they can barely compete with the Shooting Battalion.
More than a thousand soldiers in Xia Cheng faced a siege of several thousand defenders at the same time.
One by one, the soldiers were killed, and Mulan dragged the city lord of Anshi City and tried to shoot the other party.
"It's really unlucky......"
Li Guang had the ability to kill Yang Wanchun, but his shoulder was shot by Yang Wanchun's cold arrow, and he couldn't pull his bow, so he could only command the shooting battalion to fight.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
The generals Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou of Mingguan led the cavalry to gallop, and the cavalry directly dismounted and fought on foot to assist Zhou Yafu and Li Guang in defending Tushan.
Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Mulan concentrated on confronting Yang Wanchun and made up her mind to kill Yang Wanchun.
If you can successfully shoot Yang Wanchun as a defender, without Yang Wanchun's bonus, Anshi City may not be indestructible, and the army's heart will be shaken, and other defenders may not necessarily hold on.
Yang Wanchun was so anxious that he not only had to guard against Mulan, but also had to be distracted to command the soldiers and horses.
Hua Mulan didn't have this worry, because there were generals such as Zhou Yafu and Li Guang who were presiding over the overall situation.
Yang Wanchun leaned against the earthen wall, and suddenly a sharp arrow pierced through the clods of soil, raising up dust!
A squad from the Tang Army arrived, and a white-clothed soldier held a strong bow in his hand, and an arrow just now almost killed Yang Wanchun!
This is the third military general Yang Wanchun has encountered who uses a longbow!
"How do they have so many marksmen!"
Yang Wanchun was shocked.
He was confident in his archery skills, but he encountered three enemy generals who were good at using bows and arrows in succession, and he couldn't help but be discouraged.
Whether it is Li Guang, Hua Mulan, or the white-clothed soldiers who appeared, their archery skills are extremely superb, especially the heavy arrows used by Xue Rengui, which made Yang Wanchun, who was hiding behind the clods, feel threatened.
Xue Rengui's Tang army squad tried to surround Yang Wanchun in a roundabout way, but Yang Wanchun realized the danger and still tried to fight for Tushan. If the Tang army is allowed to occupy the territory mountain, Anshi City will not be able to escape the fate of falling.
Soldiers on both sides fought in the battle of Tushan, with hundreds of soldiers killed and wounded.
Xue Rengui seemed to be determined to shoot and kill the city lord of Anshi City, who was a headache for the Tang army, and kept approaching.
Yang Wanchun's attention was attracted by Xue Rengui, and he shifted the command location under the escort of his own soldiers.
However, he forgot that there was still Mulan, and Mulan had not given up killing Yang Wanchun and gaining merit for the lord......
"Ding! Your subordinate Hua Mulan shot and wounded Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City, and gained 2,000 military merits. ”
Chu Tian, who was observing the battlefield in the rear, unexpectedly obtained a military feat.
The more than 20,000 troops of the Second Army were all pressed, and Xue Rengui's Tang army also participated in the battle for Tushan, and soon Tushan basically fell under the control of the Tang army and the Han army.
"Your Majesty, Anshi City has already won half of it."
When the eldest grandson Wuji saw that Tushan was occupied by the Tang army, he knew that there was a chance that the city could be lost.
"Which group was the first to react and snatch Tushan? After the occupation of Anshi Castle, I have a reward. ”
Li Shimin saw that the solid Anshi City was within reach, and his tense expression finally relaxed.
A large number of Tang troops fought their way into the city along the collapsed earth mountain, and the Tang army used ladders to climb the city walls to exert pressure, and the defenders of Anshi City were exhausted.
In particular, the city lord of Anshi City was shot and wounded by Hua Mulan and was unable to preside over the defense, and the Tang army attacked in a big way!
Rockets rose from the sky, and Anshi Castle turned into a sea of fire.
The Tang army resented the city that blocked Tianwei and set it on fire.
The sea of fire made the defense more difficult, and the Goguryeo and Goryeo coalition forces retreated into alleys, surrounded by mountains, and there was nowhere to escape.
"The Tang Army is so ferocious, how should we defend it?"
"In a street battle with the Tang Army, we will definitely lose!"
"Yang Wanchun has been shot and wounded by the opponent's marksman, without his bonus and command, we all have to become each other's prisoners!"
The Goryeo lords gathered, and they still had tens of thousands of Goryeo soldiers in their hands, but they lost the courage to fight in the streets.
If there were strong walls to defend them, they dared to resist the Tang army, and the walls gave their soldiers a high defense bonus, and there were plenty of fortifications to use. The cavalry of the Don Army could not play any advantage either.
However, the city wall was broken through by the Tang army, and what awaited them was a disaster.
"Ding! Anseong Castle is about to fall, and the success rate of defending the city is less than 5%, so please choose whether or not to continue the battle with the lords and players of Goryeo. If the defense of the city is successful, the military merit obtained will be increased tenfold. ”
Before the fall of Anseongseong, the lord of Goryeo was given the opportunity to choose to leave the battlefield.
"Damn, I chose to leave Anshi City!"
"I will never participate in the national war with the Eastern Han District in the future!"
The lords of Goryeo chose to leave the battlefield in unison.
The success rate of defending the city is less than five percent, and it is not cost-effective to use such a probability to win ten times the military merit.
The fierce and vicious Tang army infantry entered the city from the gap, and the Tang army outside the city climbed the ladder, bloomed on all sides, and occupied the city wall!
Xue Wanche, the general of the Tang Army, led hundreds of soldiers to the city gate to clear the antlers and knife carts.
The cavalry of the Tang Army, which was ready to attack outside the city, brandished the cold Tang sword, drove straight in, the iron hooves rolling, and no one could stop them!
"The city was broken......
Chu Tian saw the cavalry of the Tang Army enter the city, and knew that it was impossible for the defenders of Anshi City to turn the tables. The victory and defeat of the country have been divided.
He calculated the time of the national war, and it was now the thirty-seventh day of the national war, and it took more than a month to end the national war with Goryeo.
The national war, which was originally expected to last for three months, ended ahead of schedule.
"Am I doing this, or is it a fault?"
When the old Qin people who supervised the construction of the earth mountain reached middle age, they should have looked down on many things, but they couldn't cry or laugh at this time. The collapse of the dirt mountain looks like a fault, but it inadvertently smashed down the walls of Anshi Castle.
This is also thanks to Fang Xuanling for reminding Chutian in time. If it weren't for Chutian's timely dispatch of troops to fight for Tushan, once Tushan was occupied by the defenders of Anshi City, it would still be easy to defend and difficult to attack for the Tang army.
Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City, had an iron arrow hanging on his chest, and after being shot by Mulan, he led his own soldiers to do his best to fight in the streets.
The surrounding houses were burned down by the rockets of the Tang Army, and they were reduced to a sea of fire, and black smoke billowed out.
Most of the defenders of Anshi City were wounded, and they experienced a fierce battle and were surrounded by the Tang army.
The well-equipped Tang army blocked the entrance to the alley, the Tang crossbow fired a volley, and the defenders of Anshi fell in the flames.
Yang Wanchun saw that he couldn't do anything, and knew that his insistence on Anshi City had completely angered Tian Khan. In order to avoid possible retaliation from the Tang army, Yang Wanchun wielded a knife and killed himself.
The city of Anshi fell completely.
The state of Goryeo opened the capital, and the commander of the army, Yi Min-chol, was forcibly teleported back to his own territory.
His face was a little pale.
Like the vast majority of Goryeo lords, he experienced the horrors of the suzerain's army for the first time and experienced a nightmare.
The Tang army seems to be just an elite division that appeared in the copy of the National War, but the Tang army led by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, is the middle and late stage of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
"The late army of the suzerainty is so terrifying, how can we resist it in the future? It seems that we will have to join forces with other civilizations. ”
Li Minzhe paced with a headache, in the future, the army of the princes of the Eastern Han District would be no less than the Tang army, and he did not want to experience the nightmare of being besieged by the Tang army again.
After Li Minzhe returned, he found that the Japanese state had also been defeated, and the Eastern Han District had won two national wars. Although he hated the Wa Kingdom, the enemy of his enemy was his friend.
"At this time, I can only find the lord of Dongying District. Is there anyone in the guild who knows the Great Lord of Dongying District? I think we should have a good deal with them. If you know the great lords of Da Viet, Siam, and Donghu, you can also recommend them to me. At least a city-level lord. ”
When Lee Min Chul returns to Goryeo, he can use the player's system to quickly contact the lords of other civilizations.
With the strength of a small civilization alone, it is almost impossible to compete with a large civilization area.
Tang Jun taught them a good lesson.
The national war in the whole world gradually came to an end, and the news that the Eastern Han District had defeated both the Goryeo District and the Dongying District spread the news, and the lords of some small countries around the Eastern Han District felt uneasy.
The suzerainty has already shown terrifying strength in the early stage, and it is estimated that the strength will be even stronger in the later stage.
"It is necessary to unify the country as soon as possible, and then suppress them!"
The kingdoms of Dayue, Donghu, Malacca, and even the Mughal Empire in the South Asian subcontinent were very defensive of the Eastern Han region.
The more powerful the Eastern Han region, the more difficult it was for the small states on the edge of the Eastern Han region to survive.
The wars of nations in other civilized areas are also gradually coming to an end. The Roman Republic lost to the heavy cavalry and archers of the Sabbatical Empire, and was restrained by the opposing side in terms of troops, and the Persian lords did not give the Roman generals a chance to turn the tables. However, Crassus of the Roman Triumvirate did not die in the national war and fled safely back to Rome.
"The national war is over?!"
Qi Xiaobai, who was besieging Xueyue Town, had an ugly face when he heard the news. He expected the end of the national war to be at least two months, but he didn't expect the Goryeo lords to be destroyed so quickly.
"Order Wu Sangui to defeat the Xia Cheng reinforcements as soon as possible! The rest of the people will do whatever it takes to capture Snow Moon Town! ”
Qi Xiaobai knew that Chu Tian would be back soon, and there was not much time left for him.
Before Chu Tian's main force returns, he will capture Xueyue Town, sitting on the land of thirty towns, and he will still have a chance to win! Otherwise, he will be defeated by Chu Tian again!
The city of Anshi was in flames, and Chutian led his soldiers to snatch the spoils.
Soldiers fought hard for the spoils of victory. Chutian went to snatch the heavy cavalry of Goguryeo as soon as possible, and he was eager to take off all the armor on their bodies.
Make a pair of iron armor, it's all white silver.
When Chu Tian, who was greedy for money, grabbed the Goguryeo heavy cavalry everywhere, a team of Tang troops stopped him: "The righteous lord Chu Tian's department has made a meritorious contribution to the seizure of Tushan, and Your Majesty has specially rewarded ten high-grade Turkic horses." ”
