Chapter 146 Attack on Anshi City

"Capture Anshi City!"

The sound of the horn echoed outside the city of Anshi. The Tang army launched a strong attack on the city of Anshi, which had become an isolated city. Hundreds of trebuchets took turns to bombard the city wall of Anshi City.

The eaves of the tower were knocked down by a high-speed stone, and the gravel splashed!

The defenders at the head of the city closed their eyes subconsciously, and the oppression brought by the trebuchet was terrifying.

The city bricks wrapped on the outer layer of the city wall were smashed to reveal the rammed earth layer inside.

The city of Goguryeo is not much different from the Central Plains, and it is all too familiar to Tang Jun.

The huge ballista was pushed out by Tang Jun, and the bare-shouldered Hercules turned the winch together, shooting out giant crossbows one meter long, destroying the turrets!

Several giant crossbows sank into the soil layer of the city wall, and the sand fell.

Two kinds of long-range siege equipment are showing their power, and a large number of siege equipment such as siege towers, ladder cars, wooden curtains, hook cars, scorpions, collision vehicles, and flying ladders are also ready.

Tang Jun's catapults were thrown from morning to noon, and the soldiers pulling the catapult ropes were dripping with sweat.

The main force of the Tang army and the Han army ate a full meal in a hurry. After the reinforcement of the Goguryeo army was broken, the initiative to siege the city was in their hands. They attack the city whenever they want.

After a month of preparation, the Tang army finally began to attack on the thirtieth day of the national war, when the four towering earth mountains were built.

The four soil mountains are more than 20 meters high, and each of them is stationed with a team of Tang army marksmen and crossbows. The reality and mobilization of the Anshi city defenders were mastered by the Tang army.

The Second Army of the Han Army in Chutian was also in the attack sequence.

Seeing Tang Jun's catapults and ballistas, Chu Tian's scalp was numb. If Xia Cheng was bombarded like this, it is estimated that the army would soon be shaken.

The opponent's defender, Yang Wanchun, seems to have the bonus of defending the city, and the Anshi city defenders have not yet collapsed.

Hua Mulan has a Tang saber tied around her waist and is currently serving as Chutian's bodyguard.

She finally gave up the Zhangba lance, which made Chutian a little scared. This weapon is not suitable for use after dismounting.

Catapults and ballistas have been bombarding for three days, and the towers and arrow towers of Anshi City were almost destroyed by large-scale siege equipment, clearing obstacles for the Tang army to attack.

dong dong dong-

The deep drum sound seemed to come from afar, and the Tang army, who was lining up in the city of Anshi, was ready to go.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin sat in the row, accompanied by Zhangsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde and others, and watched the battle in person.

The arrow tower on the mountain began to shoot at the city wall. The Tang army siege phalanx embraced the ramming vehicles and the siege tower began to attack!

Catapults and ballistas were still roaring, adding to the tension on the battlefield.

Goguryeo or Goryeo defenders were killed continuously.

The wooden curtains and the shields of the heavy infantry blocked the rain of arrows, covering the bowmen and siege equipment to attack the city of Anshi.

"Fire arrows!"

Thousands of arrows were fired from the defenders of Anshi City, and a rain of arrows covered the Tang army!

An arrow hit the iron helmet of Tang Jun's general, rubbed out sparks of broken stars, and then bounced off!

Tang Jun's general was not killed by stray arrows because of the iron helmet's defense.

However, the impact of the arrow hitting the helmet made his ears ring.

The wooden planks of the wooden curtain were filled with arrows, and a group of archers hid behind. When they gradually approached the shooting range, they turned around from the back of the wooden curtain and shot arrows toward the city wall.

The two sides poured arrows rain on each other. At this time, the Tang army archers on the Tushan became angry, and the city defenders of Anshi faced the attack of two arrows.

Many defenders had to hold wooden shields to block the rain of arrows falling from their heads.

"Be sure to destroy these earthy mountains!"

The city lord of Anshi ordered the trebuchets in the city to bombard the mountain.

The Goryeo lord hurriedly ordered his soldiers to operate the trebuchet.

They thought that the three-month defense time would be fleeting, but they did not expect that in just one month, Anshi City would be in jeopardy.

Anshicheng's stone smashed on the soil mountain, and the stones rolled down!

"The defenders want to destroy our soil mountain!"

"Let them smash. We used 100,000 people and carefully calculated mountains of earth, how could it be so easily destroyed by trebuchets."

Jiujiu Lao Qin is responsible for protecting the four earth mountains, which is his masterpiece.

The siege tower more than ten meters high is close to the city of Anshi, and it is horned with Tushan. The archers of the Tang army shoot arrows recklessly and hunt down the defenders on the city wall.

The defenders of Anshi City released rockets and tried to burn down the siege tower.

Tang Jun covered the siege tower with cowhide in advance, and it was not so easy for the rocket to burn it down.

A large number of Tang army bowmen stepped forward to suppress the defenders and buy time for the collision car to advance.

"Tang Jun's crash car is approaching the city wall!"

"Tang Jun's Ji is about to reach the bottom of the city wall!"

"The ladder car and the flying echelon have been dispatched!"

Everyone was paying attention to the battlefield. A terrifying crash car slowly approached the city gate. In order to push the crash car, dozens of Tang soldiers died under the arrows of the defenders.

Once the ramming car hits the city gate, Tang Jun rushes up and can trap the city!

"Damn!"

Li Minzhe, the lord of Goryeo, turned pale, and the city gate was hit by a collision car, which was no joke.

"Don't worry." Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City, put one hand on the shoulder of the foreign lord, "Bring your Biewu class to guard the city gate. I have already arranged an ambush."

"Yes……"

Li Minzhe had never seen such a huge siege scene, and was almost scared. Fortunately, Yang Wanchun, the city lord, was in charge of the overall situation.

boom!

The crash car began to slam into the city gate!

Every time the huge battering ram hits, the city gate is overwhelmed and whine!

"one two Three!"

The soldiers of the Tang army pushed the battering ram and were bound to knock the gate open!

Everyone, including Chu Yun, felt tight.

If the city gate can be breached, perhaps Anshicheng will be captured and the national war will end.

Earth hills and siege towers are shooting arrows at the city wall, engineers are digging tunnels and trying to destroy the city wall, teams of Tang soldiers are attached to it, and even the giant crossbow that has just been inserted into the city wall can become a wooden ladder for Tang soldiers to climb the city.

However, most people's eyes are on the city gate.

The wooden city gate of Anshicheng gradually cracked, and finally, after another violent impact, the wooden city gate was completely broken, and the soldiers of the Tang army swarmed in!

The Tang army general who rushed at the forefront held an infantry lance and rushed in with hundreds of Tang soldiers!

"No, it's a trap!"

The Tang Jun officers on the mountain were constantly observing the movements in the city of Anshi. When they saw the knife carts pushed out from the alley, they quickly used the semaphore to inform the Tang Jun commander.

However, it was already too late, and the sharp wooden fence fell, isolating hundreds of Tang soldiers from the reinforcements behind!

There are also several wooden fences inside the city gate, building a simple urn city!

Hundreds of Tang troops who rushed forward strayed into the urn city. Behind the wooden fence were knives and carts and Goguryeo and Goryeo soldiers armed with bows, arrows and spears.

Bows and arrows were fired, and Tang Jun, who stepped into the trap, could not advance or retreat, and could only hold up a shield to resist.

The reinforcements in the rear chopped down the wooden fence one after another, trying to join the surrounded Tang army.

However, it was too late, the dense rain of arrows and spears stabbed hundreds of Tang troops to death. General Tang Jun faced a dozen spears and died in battle.

"Give up attacking the city gate!"

Tang army siege master Li Daozong decisively gave up attacking the city gate. It was obvious that the opponent had set up a net behind the city gate, waiting for the Tang army to enter from the city gate, and then used the narrow terrain to kill the Tang army as much as possible.

Although the city gate was difficult to capture, some Tang troops had already climbed to the city wall and fought hand-to-hand with the Anshi city defenders on the city wall.

"Drive Tang Jun down!"

The Goguryeo heavy infantry came over with their shields and pushed the Tang army who climbed the city off the city wall.

With an eight-meter-high city wall, even a general would fall to his death.

The city defenders of Anshi turned the winch and slapped the wolf teeth down. The Tang army infantrymen who were clinging to the siege found that there was a darkness above their heads, and hundreds of sharp wolf teeth nails fell!

Yaksha rolls against the city wall, kerosene spills!

"Tang Jun's siege tower is approaching!"

"Destroy it!"

The twelve-meter-high siege tower posed a huge threat to the defenders.

A dozen iron hooks hooked the siege tower, and hundreds of defending soldiers pulled the rope together! The bulky siege tower lost to manpower and has a tendency to collapse!

"Cut off the flying claws!"

The Tang army archers on the siege tower did not care to continue shooting arrows, but pulled out the Tang knife and tried to cut off the flying claws.

boom!

The unsupportable siege tower was finally pulled down by the defenders, and dozens of Tang soldiers died.

The siege battle was extremely brutal, and even the most elite troops would lose their troops in front of a fortified city.

"When the Mongols traversed Europe and Asia, they were blocked by Xiangyang for five years. Song General Lu Wenhuan surrendered only on the premise that there was no reinforcement outside and no food inside. Mongolian Khan Meng Ge sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Diaoyu City in Sichuan, and was killed in battle. Under the city. It can be seen that it is difficult to attack a city, especially a fortified city surrounded by mountains and rivers."

Chutian saw that the Tang army had attacked Anshi City, and they had suffered a lot of losses, but they were still unable to conquer it. On the premise that the opponent has defensive generals, a city may not be captured for a year and a half.

Li Shimin's black armored cavalry could not cross the solid city wall.

The first storm was unfavorable, Tang Junming Jin withdrew his troops and dispersed like a tide.

Fang Xuanling witnessed this fierce siege battle, and said to Chu Tian: "Master, attack the heart first, and siege the city as the second. If you continue to attack like this, perhaps the Tang army will lose morale."

"How to attack the heart?"

"If the defenders surrender, they can be forgiven for their behavior, and everything will be restored."

"This may be to persuade Tang Taizong."

Chutian sent Fang Xuanling to persuade Li Shimin, and the success rate would increase.

Some generals do not like each other, while others feel inexplicably close.

Probably because Fang Xuanling's advice had an effect, Tang Jun shot the letter of persuasion into the city of Anshi. If the defenders of Anshi City surrender, then His Majesty the Emperor will forgive everyone in Anshi City and let it go.

The letter of persuasion to surrender fell into the hands of the defenders of Anshi City, and the defenders finally began to waver.

Seeing the four tall earthy mountains outside the city and the Tang army in tight formation, they doubted whether they could continue to defend Anshi City.

Not only that, Li Shimin also ordered Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen to persuade two Koguryeo surrender generals outside the city to persuade them to surrender, which shook the morale of the Anshi city defenders.

Now even the Goryeo lord has no courage to fight.

They had never seen the hundreds of thousands of Tang and Han troops besieging the city of Anshi layer by layer. The fear of being surrounded keeps you awake at night.

The only thing that prevented the Koryo lord from surrendering was the accusations from other Koryo players after returning to the Koryo Kingdom.

Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City, considered the letter of persuasion over and over again, and finally said: "As long as we stay until September, the Tang army will definitely retreat, and there is no need to surrender."

"The Lord of the City has said so, we are obedient."

The Goryeo lord has the assurance of the city lord and intends to continue to resist.

"They are offending Tianwei."

Chu Tian knew that Li Shimin was not a good person either, but he just didn't want Tang Jun's casualties to be too tragic. But repeatedly provoking his patience, Li Shimin will be furious.

Sure enough, after the city lord of Anshi City refused to surrender, Li Shimin, who felt offended, ordered the Tang army to intensify the siege of the city.

The Tang army was divided into several groups and stormed the city of Anshi.

Catapults and ballistas roared, and a piece of the city wall was destroyed. Almost all the bricks outside fell off, exposing the soil.

Tushan consumes up to 100,000 arrows every day.

The Tang army stormed the city of Anshi, which was extremely tormenting for the defenders of Anshi city and the lords of Goryeo.

Li Shimin was okay with the lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He did not force the soldiers of the lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty to attack the city, but the lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty requested to participate in the war himself.

If you want to get military exploits, you can apply to Tang Jun, and Tang Jun will arrange your troops to be in the siege sequence.

Some lords who lack military merit chose brutal siege warfare.

Chutian did not participate in the siege. The siege of the city consumes a lot of soldiers, and his military merit has been tens of thousands, and he is not lacking in this military merit.

"Liu Zongmin, you lead the refugee army to attack the city. Be careful, don't die."

The leader of Hanzhong advocated that when he saw his ranking at the bottom, he had to earn some military merit in order to be in the front.

A sturdy military general led the army of rushing to the king and joined the siege sequence of the Tang army.

Liu Zongmin, a general under the command of Li Zicheng, the king of rushing, took part in the siege with a big sword and shield.

One by one, the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of siege to obtain military exploits.

Mingliang Strait, the fire spread, the warships of the two sides fought, rockets fired volleys, and the navy and soldiers jumped on the other side's deck to fight.

Tang Jun's building ship was a giant for the Japanese Navy, and the soldiers of the Japanese Navy could only try to climb onto the ship with flying hooks.

Liu Rengui was surrounded by a group of Tang Jun navy soldiers who had fought hundreds of battles. They cut off the flying hook and a large number of Japanese navy soldiers fell into the sea.

The two sides fought, and people were killed every moment.

The Tang army archers were condescending and shot and killed the soldiers of the Japanese navy on the opposite side.

"Throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"

The lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty was bloody, and he fought with the Japanese navy, blood spattered.

Song Dynasty military general Pan Mei held an iron spear and swept away a few Japanese soldiers!

Soldiers of the Japanese Navy used a blade similar to the Han-era ring-head sword, while the samurai of the lords of the Eastern Empire used katana swords, and ashigaru used bows and spears. A dozen or so warriors from the Eastern Empire surrounded Pan Mei, but they were unable to take him down, and instead were frequently killed by Pan Mei.

Bronze Sparrow arrived with a team of swordsmen and shields to destroy the surrounding Eastern Warriors.

His face was blackened by smoke, and there were ships and fires all around him.

The navies of both sides fought in Mingliang Strait, and all means were used. For five consecutive days, the rockets that hit the Tang army were almost exhausted, and the Tang and Han knives were rolled.

In a small battlefield, who is more determined and whose ship is stronger!

A military general in the Eastern Ying District dragged a large knife and chopped down a soldier of the Eastern Han Navy: "The Asahi General Kizeng Yizhong is here, and Tang Jun Liu Rengui dares to come down to fight!"

It was Tang Jun's rocket that responded to him... Dongying generals had to flee in embarrassment in the face of Tang Jun's rocket.
