Chapter 453: Damn it

"The general is really wise. Haha, I will be watching the Tang army fleeing in panic from the city wall. I feel so comfortable." In the city guard house in Anshi, Gao Yuanshan laughed loudly from afar. Behind him, all the generals also laughed.

The joy on his face. The pressure of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops disappeared without a trace, and all that was left was the joy after a great victory. No matter what an army does, even if it has no morale, if there is a victory,

This army can survive. Imagine the nearly half a million troops and the enemy camps stretching for dozens of miles outside the city. These are huge numbers. Not to mention the soldiers below, even Gao Yuanshan and others have a lot of thoughts in their hearts.

It was a big pressure, but now it's gone. Yang Wanchun easily used one move to defeat the opponent's conspiracy. He didn't know how many people were killed or injured, but no matter what, everything on the battlefield outside the city made the enemy frightened.

Since the enemy is frightened, it means that our own morale has been greatly boosted. I believe that after this battle, Anshi City's morale will reach its peak and we will no longer be afraid of the opponent's various attack methods.

"Haha, I really don't know what kind of mood Tang Tong is feeling right now." Yang Wanxia also laughed and said: "This person thought he had a trick, but he didn't expect that we would hide our weakness first and give the opponent a hard blow at the critical moment.

, imagine his face at that time, tsk tsk, imagine that I am very happy. General Gao is indeed a famous general of our dynasty. He is really powerful in fighting. Admire, admire." At this time, the Yang Jiajun in Anshi City was really

Accept the high mountains.,

It's undeniable. If Gao Yuanshan hadn't planned it today and had taken out the trebuchet to attack early, although it would have achieved certain results, it would never have been as obvious as it is now. The deterrent effect on the enemy would not have been that great.

The blow to the enemy's morale will not be so effective. The battle at Gaogaoyuan Mountain can be said to have given him a chance to gain a foothold in Anshi City. It also allowed all the generals in Anshi City to unite and fight against

Military morale plays an immeasurable role, and all of this was something that Yang Wanchun, the war commander, did not expect.

"Haha, it's all the generals who command well, and the last generals don't dare to take credit." Gao Yuanshan is a smooth man, so he quickly explained after hearing this. He didn't dare to say some arrogant words at this time. You know, in Anshi

City, Yang Wanchun is the local emperor, and his prestige is as high as that of Eulji Wende in Liaodong City. He, a Liaodong native, came to Anshi City. To put it nicely, he came to support Anshi City, but to put it badly, he came to Anshi City.

He just came to defect to Yang Wanchun, how could he steal Yang Wanchun's limelight? In this way, he might not be able to survive in Anshi City. Although Gao Yuanshan was a general who fought in the war, he still remembered this. Sure enough,

, when Yang Wanxia and other Anshi City generals saw this, they all nodded with satisfaction on their faces. They also became closer to Gaoyuan Mountain.

"During this period, I have not recovered from my injuries. I was originally worried about the city's defense. Now that General Gao is here, I feel much more relieved." Upon seeing this, Yang Wanchun showed a smile on his face. He was still lying there, letting

The doctor next to him changed his dressing and said: "This time we caught him by surprise, because Tang Tong didn't expect that we had built a lot of catapults in advance, so we caught the opponent by surprise. In addition, the opponent's ladder passed by.

High, that's why so many people on the other side died. The blow to the morale of the other side must be huge. In a short time, they will not attack Anshi City, but in this way, Tang Tong will increase his resistance to Anshi City.

Anshi City's hatred, hey, Anshi City is not like Liaodong. If he besieges the city and refuses to leave, I will force a breakout, harass his retreat, and keep his food and grass under attack from our army at all times, so Tang Tong

They will definitely attack Anshi City, so generals, please don't be careless. Lu Zhaoci was able to crisscross the Central Plains and unify the Central Plains, which shows how extraordinary this person is. His next attack may not be as simple as now.

He will definitely use vicious methods to attack, so I remind you generals to be careful and never underestimate Lu Zhaoci. You know, according to Lu Zhaoci's hatred for Anshi City, after this man breaks the city,

He will definitely massacre the city. He is not Yang Guang. Yang Guang is an incompetent person who likes to be praised. He does not need it. What he wants is military merit, so he will definitely massacre the city. The hundreds of thousands of people in the city depend on the generals."

"General, don't worry. I will follow the general's instructions and stick to the city. Don't let Tang Tong get the slightest chance." Gao Yuanshan and others' faces straightened, and they quickly replied plainly.

"That's very good." Yang Wanchun nodded and said, "Order people to dig deep pits at various city gates, bury urns and other objects, and send people with sharp ears to monitor them to prevent Tang Tong from digging holes and getting in.

." Yang Wanchun thought for a while and then said: "Although Anshi City is a mountain city, it is very difficult for the opponent to dig tunnels, but military strategists value surprise. If the opponent can cross the Liao River, how can we know whether the opponent will dig tunnels?

It’s authentic”

"General, take your orders." Gao Yuanshan and other generals also responded.

"Order people to strengthen the city wall." Yang Wanchun then ordered: "The city wall is the foundation of our city defense. As long as the city wall is still there, the possibility of the opponent trying to invade the city is small. The mountain city is already high and can form a natural defense method.

But you have also seen that they can make tall ladders, but we don’t know if they have other methods."

"Hmph, we will kill as many as Tang Tong comes. Hem, let's see how many tricks he has left." Yang Wandong snorted coldly: "Our Anshi City is extremely strong, and there are people like Big Brother stationed here, and the soldiers are elite.

How can he easily break it with enough food? Although Liaodong City is very strong, hehe, it's a pity."

"Shut up." Yang Wanxia saw Gao Yuanshan's bad expression and couldn't help but snorted: "Old General Eulji Mundeok is a famous general in our court. How can you make irresponsible remarks? The reason why Liaodong City was lost is not

The problem with General Eulji Wende is that Lu Zhaoci is too cunning, the traitor Cui Zhouping is too cunning, and it is caused by the two traitors Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen. Otherwise, how could Liaodong City have been breached?"

To be fair, Yang Wanxia's analysis is reasonable. If it were possible, Liaodong City should not be breached. Unfortunately, there is no possibility or impossibility in this world. The combination of various factors will lead to Liaodong City being doomed.

The fact that Liaodong City was lost. Although Yang Wanxia explained in every possible way, he could not cover up the fact that Liaodong City was lost. Therefore, although Gao Yuanshan's face looked ugly, he was not angry.

"Liaodong City is really too big, and there are a lot of neutral citizens inside. The old general is kind, so it will be a matter of time before Liaodong City is lost." Yang Wanchun, who was lying on the couch, said deeply: "Since the other party's spies can sneak in, it will be a matter of time."

Entering Liaodong City will encourage those Central Plains people to rebel. Attacking from inside and outside will still lead to losses. The old general's battle was a crime other than war. This is why I killed all the Central Plains people in the city at the beginning.

The reason is pure, because keeping them will sooner or later be a disaster. No matter how long a strong city defense is, it will not be captured from the outside, but from the inside. Liaodong City is an example

."

"What the general said is true." Gao Yuanshan and other generals also fell into silence, thinking about what Yang Wanchun had just said.

"Tell me, what is Tang Jun doing at this time?" Yang Wanchun seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the room was depressed, and he changed the subject with a smile.

"What else can I do? I must be collecting the corpses of those dead soldiers." Yang Wanxia said disdainfully: "It's all in vain. Soon, these people's heads will become Beijing's treasures."

"Okay, then don't let them collect the corpses." Unexpectedly, Yang Wanchun nodded when he heard this and said: "At this time in Liaodong, if the corpses are left for a long time, there will be no plague, so let them leave them outside."

"Ah" Gao Yuanshan and the other generals' eyes widened when they heard this, and they looked at Yang Wanchun in surprise. After the battle, unless the other party fled in embarrassment and fled without a trace, both sides would clean up the battlefield and bury all the corpses in their respective robes.

Or burn them, and do not attack the other side's soldiers who collected the corpses. This is an unspoken rule that soldiers should abide by since the emergence of war, but it seems that it does not apply at all when it comes to Yang Wanchun. How can this not be surprising?

"Brother, this, this doesn't seem to be good," Yang Wanxia said in surprise.

"Hmph, what do you know." Yang Wanchun sneered: "On the battlefield, both sides collected each other's corpses. On the one hand, they were afraid that the hot weather would cause plague, and on the other hand, it was also to facilitate the next battle, but more importantly

Yes, to save one's own morale. Imagine what the soldiers would think if they were killed in battle and their corpses were not restrained. Hum, it is difficult for corpses to rot in this weather. In this way, there will be no plague. In that case

, why can’t it be like this?”

"General, I'm afraid this will make them fight to the death." Gao Yuanshan said nervously: "You know, many of our troops also fell into the city wall. When we attack in the future, the number of casualties in our army will be

More.".

"Well, it's not unreasonable." Yang Wanchun nodded and said, "Send someone to tell Lu Zhaoci that I will give him tea time to collect the body. If the time passes, don't blame me for being ruthless. Hum,

If possible, our army can collect the corpses on his behalf, but each corpse must collect fifty stones of food and grass. Hum, in this way, our army can get more food and grass."

"The general is wise." The generals' eyes lit up when they heard this. They had food in their hands and were not panicked. It was a happy thing to get food and grass from the enemy, and the other party had to give it. At that moment, Gao Yuanshan raised his hands and said: "Since

So, our army can simply help them clean up and then tell Tang Tong. What do you think, general?" The faces of the other generals also showed excitement.

"That's very good." Yang Wanchun agreed without thinking.

"Why, no one is talking? Isn't it just a defeat? No one is talking now? Are you generals so unable to afford to lose?" I think for the joyful atmosphere in Anshi City, the people outside the city are not talking.

The army of the Tang Dynasty was in a state of depression, whether it was soldiers or generals. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, or even since Lu Zhaoci's debut, the Tang Dynasty had never suffered such a disastrous defeat, and there were also

When the scandal of the soldiers escaping came, not only did Lu Zhaoci's face become dull, but the faces of the generals also lost any color. If the generals wanted to earn their salary from the imperial court, they had to do things for the imperial court, but now it's better, it actually happened.

If this kind of thing happened in the camp, it would be a bombing of the camp. Does this still require an enemy to attack? Thousands of people are enough to wipe out his army, and his head, Lu Zhaoci, might appear in the camp at this time.

Maybe in Anshi City opposite. Everyone in the big tent lowered their heads, no one dared to speak, and everyone had an embarrassed look on their face. On the contrary, Lu Zhaoci, who was sitting at the top, said with a smile. It seems.

It was as if I had not lost any battle just now. It could even be said that I had won a battle just now.

"Your Majesty, give me, Old Cheng, another 10,000 troops, and I, Old Cheng, will definitely bring Anshi City to you." In the big tent, Cheng Yaojin's face turned red and he couldn't help but said loudly. The faces of other generals

They all showed a trace of blood red. It didn't matter if they lost the battle, nor did they get punished by Lu Zhaoci. The key was that what Emperor Zhenguan said was too hurtful. As long as people don't die, there is hope. What's more, these guys have been

Since joining the army of the Tang Dynasty, they have made countless achievements. To say that they cannot afford to lose is to look down on them. Even if they are facing the emperor, they still dare to express the anger in their hearts.

"Oh, you're still a little bloody." Lu Zhaoci glanced at Cheng Yaojin coldly and sneered: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many ups and downs it has gone through. It wiped out all the heroes in the country and then marched to the west.

advance, bringing the entire Western Region into the territory. The Turks were powerful, but they were still defeated by our brave soldiers. However, this series of successes made some generals feel complacent and lose their vigilance. Look again, we

The soldiers are all elite men. When fighting, they are inherently much stronger than the armies of other countries. Therefore, these generals will rest on their credit books and do not know how to train the army. Generals

Are you arrogant and accustomed to thinking that there will no longer be any opponent in the world, that no one will dare to send troops to the Tang Dynasty, or dare to challenge the majesty of the Tang Dynasty? But you have forgotten that now it is already there. Right in front of your eyes,

A small Anshi City and a small Yang Wanchun can dare to challenge the majesty of the Tang Empire with the tens of thousands of troops in his hands. How come you are discouraged after one failure?"

"I am guilty." Everyone's faces turned red when they heard this. Thinking about it carefully, these people have relaxed a lot since the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks. They always thought that the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful country in the world.

How old was Goguryeo? It was not easy to defeat such a small country, especially after conquering Liaodong City. I always thought that God was the boss and I was the second boss. As a result, the level of training of the army was greatly reduced.

The situation today was caused not only by Yang Wanchun's sudden attack, but the most important reason was the Tang army itself, which caused such heavy casualties.

It can also be said that the failure of this attack gave the Tang army, from the emperor to the soldiers, a clear understanding, which made their originally impetuous minds calmer, as if they were about to boil.

Hot water, suddenly a basin of cold water poured down, allowing them to fully realize their shortcomings to avoid more serious things happening in the future. Lu Zhaoci was still willing to spend a small loss to buy experience.

"Your Majesty, this attack has failed. I am afraid that our army will not be able to attack in a short period of time. This situation will be a fatal damage to the morale of our army. Your Majesty, please make a decision early." Li Jing said calmly at this time.

.

"That's right." Lu Zhaoci nodded, then turned to Xu Shiji on the side and said: "Mao Gong, collect the bodies of the dead soldiers. We cannot let these dead soldiers be buried in other places and burn their bones.

After that, they were brought to Chang'an, where they built ancestral halls according to their place of origin, worshiped at four seasons, and their families were provided with pensions. Families with widows and orphans were supported by corresponding funds from the court every year, so that the blood of the soldiers could not be wasted. "

"Your Majesty is merciful." Xu Shiji quickly lowered his head and said, "I have already ordered people to go to the city to collect the bodies of the dead soldiers. They must have been packed up by this time. Then I ordered some personnel to send their ashes to Chang'an, where the General Staff

The ministry sent the corpses of these soldiers to all parts of the country."

"Well, that's very good." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said, "Now let's discuss how to attack Yang Wanchun. Autumn is about to come. In Liaodong, autumn will make this battle difficult to fight.

.If we don’t cross the Yalu River again, we will have no choice but to return to the DPRK.”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." At this moment, a quick voice came from outside the tent, and Zu Ming burst in, his face filled with anger. It was obvious that he had encountered some injustice.

"What's going on?" When Xu Shiji saw this, his expression changed and he snorted coldly: "General Zu, is there something wrong with collecting the bodies of the dead soldiers?" It turned out that Zu Ming was sent by Xu Shiji to lead the army to collect the bodies of the dead soldiers.

.

"These beasts are so abominable. They actually asked us to collect the bodies of all the dead soldiers within a tea time. If the time passed, he would use methods against the soldiers who collected the corpses. And those who were collected by them

For the corpses of the Tang Dynasty soldiers who arrived, each corpse must be exchanged for fifty stones of grain. General Mo has already seen at least hundreds of corpses of our soldiers being moved away by them." Zu Ming said loudly.

When the generals heard this, they burst into an uproar and roared in anger. Even Lu Zhaoci's face turned red.
