Chapter four hundred and sixtieth: Breaking the city
"Boom!" A series of huge roars came over and hit the city wall, but it seemed to hit Yang Wanchun's heart. His face was ferocious, and he wished he could immediately turn around and fight Lu Zhaoci. Unfortunately, he felt that
His feet were shaking, but Yang Wanchun simply gave up. A decisive battle with Lu Zhaoci at this time was definitely an irrational act, because as the impact became louder and louder, the roar shook the heaven and the earth, and Yang Wanchun was now dying in succession.
His heart was full, and the city wall was about to collapse. If he couldn't escape at this time, let alone a decisive battle with Lu Zhaoci, it would be a question of whether he could even save his life.
At this time, Yang Wanchun was very regretful. He regretted that he should not have built the city wall so high. It took a lot of effort to even lower the city wall. What's more, there were many soldiers and generals around him, and everyone was afraid of death.
, the ants are still alive, let alone these people. The collapse of the city wall is such a spectacular thing, but in front of these soldiers, the city wall that could save their lives in the past has now become a life-threatening thing. They all want to escape here as soon as possible to avoid being killed.
The city wall crushed him to death.
"Boom" the city wall had begun to shake. At this moment, it was as if the sky was about to collapse. The earth trembled. The Goguryeo people in the city also felt that something was wrong. They came to watch one after another, only to see the Goguryeo soldiers running away in a hurry.
, and as the city wall kept shaking, everyone also let out bursts of screams.
"Quick, quick." Yang Wanchun didn't think about this. In fact, he didn't have time to think about this. At this time, he was mainly running for his life. Looking at the approaching ground, Yang Wanchun finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he suddenly felt
There was a rustling sound above his head. Yang Wanchun's eyes widened. He couldn't bear it any longer. Regardless of how many stairs there were, he quickly moved and jumped down. Then, regardless of anything else, he quickly fled the place and headed towards the city.
He ran towards the open space at the door.
"Hurry, prepare your troops for war." Yang Wanchun, who had just arrived at the city gate, drew out the sword from his waist and shouted loudly. In an instant, he organized a team of hundreds of people. This was also because Yang Wanchun had such high prestige in the Goguryeo army.
When these people saw Yang Wanchun escaping from the top of the city, they seemed to have a backbone. The uneasiness on their faces disappeared without a trace, and a fighting spirit was faintly visible.
Seeing more and more soldiers in front of him, Yang Wanchun's originally boiling heart calmed down. He knew clearly what Lu Zhaoci would do after breaking through the city wall. He would follow the gap in the wall and attack Anshi City.
After losing the geographical advantage, the gap with the Tang army became wider and wider. At this time, he understood why Lu Zhaoci sent troops to leave Anshi City. It was not because he wanted to deal with Gaisu Wen, but in Lu Zhaoci's heart, Anshi
The city has already fallen overnight, so there is no need to expend such a large amount of energy to stop the army here. With the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, it is enough to capture Anshi City.
"Sir, we made a mistake this time." At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Yang Wanchun turned around and looked over, only to see Gao Yuanshan, Yang Wanxia and others rushing over. After all, they were people who knew how to run.
At this critical moment, everyone also escaped, which made Yang Wanchun relieved. In these difficult years, if there were not a few brave generals around him, Yang Wanchun believed that with his own strength, it would not be possible at all.
It is possible to defeat Lu Zhaoci and save the city.
"Hurry up and organize the army. After the city wall collapses, Lu Zhaoci's army will attack along the gap. We must drive him out and order the people in the city to take action. Prepare soil backpacks, door panels and other items for our army to attack.
After retreating Lu Zhaoci, we immediately blocked the gap. We will slowly reinforce it. As long as we can survive this time, Anshi City will still be in our hands. When Lu Zhaoci comes, Lu Zhaoci will have no choice but to retreat.
We're on our way." Yang Wanchun is indeed a general who is good at defense. At this time, his face is still calm. Although everyone is very panicked, when they see Yang Wanchun like this, the panic in their hearts suddenly disappears.
.Since the generals were not panicked, they naturally would not panic either. In an instant, they saw Gao Yuanshan leading a group of elite soldiers standing under the city wall, while Yang Wanxia was leading the people to mobilize the people and prepare to reinforce the city wall, while Yang Wantong was on the side.
Leading a team of elite soldiers, they were ready to respond to Gaoyuan Mountain at any time. As the Chinese army's banner was erected, more and more soldiers gathered around Yang Wanchun.
Although there were many soldiers, there was no joy on Yang Wanchun's face. He considered himself an excellent general, especially in terms of defending the city, but here, he was fooled by Lu Zhaoci
, he thought that the other party didn’t think well, but in fact, he didn’t think well enough and fell into the other party’s scheme. He also called the other party stupid. It seemed that the stupidest person was actually himself. This greatly affected his confidence.
of damage.
"Boom" a loud noise sounded, deafening, and smoke filled the air. A huge mountain fell from the sky and hit Anshi City inside and outside. Poor soldiers, the city wall was so tall that it took a lot of time to go from bottom to top, and from top to bottom.
The same is true down below. More importantly, in the panic and nervousness, these people ran even slower. In such a short period of time, no matter how many people could escape, many people were trapped.
The city wall was smashed to death, and there were screams for a while. Within fifty steps around the city wall, there were bricks and tiles, as well as broken limbs. Some injured soldiers who did not die immediately were screaming among the bricks and stones.
The sound of screams is both pitiful and frightening.
How could Yang Wanchun manage so much at this time? His eyes suddenly brightened up. The city wall that was originally used to resist foreign invasions had now been removed.
No one appreciates it, neither Yang Wanchun nor the generals. Because they all know that what is about to be staged is a killing, a life and death battle. Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like Tang Dynasty army, this is what Yang Wanchun feels in his heart.
He was also extremely nervous. His right hand holding the hilt of the sword felt wet, and before he knew it, cold sweat had appeared on his palm. He could clearly hear the swallowing sounds from the soldiers around him, which was a sign of nervousness.
"Charge up." Yang Wanchun couldn't bear it anymore. At this time, the first thing he did was to rush up and rely on the city wall and the remaining arrow towers on the wall to hold the gap and repel the invading Tang army. After nightfall, he sent people
Blocking the gap in the city wall would treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but it was better than leaving a gap. He believed that as long as he was given time to block the gap, he would be able to defend Anshi City until Gesuwen's arrival.
"Your Majesty, it's time to attack." Looking at the gap in front of them, not only the soldiers, but also Changsun Wuji and others showed horror on their faces. They all looked at the man in front of them with admiration, riding on the horse.
To be as great as a mountain and to be so capable is not something that anyone can achieve.
"Archers, suppress the gap with bows and arrows." Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaoci did not order the cavalry and infantry around him to attack and rob the gap in the city wall. Instead, he ordered the archers around him to suppress the gap in the city wall with bows and arrows.
.It’s just that the archers faithfully carried out the emperor’s order, and drew their bows and arrows one after another. Countless sharp arrows flew towards the gap in the city wall. There was a roar, the dark clouds blocked the sun, and the sharp arrows blocked the dark clouds.
Just when everyone was surprised, they found a shout from Anshi City opposite, and countless soldiers rushed out of the city and rushed towards the gap. They obviously thought that after a gap appeared in the city wall, the Tang army would escape through the gap.
Swarming in, rushing into the gap, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat. This is what military strategists of all ages have done, because in this way, they can take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle. Unfortunately, what they encountered this time was Lu Zhaoci. A man with the characteristics
A person with advanced thinking is obviously different from the ancients in his thinking. Things that others think are normal are not necessarily normal in his eyes. Things that others have not thought of are not necessarily incomprehensible to him. Just like
The things in front of him are the same, but in his eyes, they are different from other people's thoughts. Others think that they should take advantage of this time to expand the victory, but Lu Zhaoci is thinking about how to attack and gain the maximum benefit with the minimum loss. Since subconsciously,
Others thought that the next step should be to engage in hand-to-hand combat and use powerful infantry to further expand the results. However, Lu Zhaoci believed that this was the best time to attack the enemy. That was to order the archers to attack the gaps in the city wall.
Positional suppression. Think about that time, in order to prevent the opponent from breaking through the gap in the city wall, he must have prepared a large number of soldiers and horses there. However, he did not attack according to the method he imagined. Instead, he was suppressed by archers. So many soldiers
, with so many arrows, I am afraid that each soldier will have a few sharp arrows on his body. After defeating this group of enemies, the defender will never send troops there again, because he does not know what his soldiers are about to face.
What exactly is it, is it an archer, or something else? He can't guarantee that, in this case, in the next step, the soldiers he sends can easily occupy the gap in the city wall, and it will be much more convenient and easier to further expand the results of the battle, and it will also be possible to
The losses have been reduced to the lowest point. This is Lu Zhaoci's plan. Facts have proved that his calculation is correct. In fact, no matter which defender thinks so, in this era, many offensive generals also think so.
They planned it. But everything they saw in front of them told them that sometimes, changing their mind can achieve the greatest benefit.
"Not good." Yang Wanchun heard a shrill cry in his ears, and instantly saw the dark clouds flying in the sky. The boss, with his eyes wide open and a ferocious look on his face, shouted: "Get back quickly, get back." It's a pity.
Yes, it was too late to remind you at this time. The bow and arrow would not slow down because of Yang Wanchun's shout. It still breathed down as expected and hit the crowd. Suddenly, there was a scream, accompanied by
On the surrounding city walls, the soldiers who were preparing to defend with bows and arrows also suffered disaster. Who would have thought that the emperor Lu Zhaoci would not act according to common sense. Every time he made a move, he would use powerful methods to kill people, which obviously destroyed everything in Yang Wanchun's life.
The plot was involved. Poor Yang Wanchun was about to cry without tears. Looking at the mess at the gap in the city wall, he even wanted to die. From a distance, it could be seen that Gao Yuanshan was hit by an arrow in his arm, and he was gnashing his teeth and looking at the soil in the distance.
Everything on the mountain.,
"Archer suppression." Lu Zhaoci, who was on Tushan Mountain, looked coldly at everything in the gap in the city wall. There was no expression on his face, as if what he had just done was not his order at all. He was still giving orders to the soldiers around him.
.At this time, Changsun Wuji and others had already had numb expressions on their faces. The emperor in front of him did not know how many tricks he had not used. Everything in front of him was like the pen of ghosts and gods, playing with the enemy in the palm of his hand.
Above all, poor Yang Wanchun, although he is known as the number one general who defended the city of Goguryeo, but obviously compared to Emperor Zhenguan, he is still far behind. Not to mention just now, even now, I am afraid that Yang Wanchun does not know what is true and false.
, it’s a matter of fiction and reality. In fact, except for the clever generals, no one can guess the opponent’s thoughts, so soldiers all advocate offense. No one knows when Lu Zhaoci’s bows and arrows will stop
, when will the infantry and cavalry of the Tang Dynasty be dispatched? Their only way is to wait for the enemy to come. But then, another problem will arise. When are you going to fill such a big gap in the city wall?
If you stand up, you may face enemy archers. Such a short gap in the city wall will be filled with soldiers. Isn't this a shooting? Even a soldier who has just learned archery for a few days can kill a soldier. What's more,
Not to mention the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. But if they were not blocked, the opponent would be able to take advantage of the situation and attack. They would soon be able to break through the gap in the city wall and gradually expand their occupation. Yang Wanchun's advantage would be lost step by step. In the end, there would be no chance for resistance.
People were killed. So Yang Wanchun must be hesitating at this moment, not knowing what to do.
Just as everyone in the Tang Dynasty thought, Yang Wanchun showed a trace of hesitation on his face at this time. He didn't know what to do. Listening to the whistling sound in the air and looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Yang Wanchun suddenly
In an instant, he felt as if all the strength in his body had disappeared. If this continued, it would be a matter of time before the city was breached. He could see clearly that nearly a thousand people had been killed and injured by the opponent's first wave of bows and arrows.
, General Gao Yuanshan was injured and could no longer use his arm. Under the second wave of blows, although Gao Yuanshan relied on the raised position of the city wall to escape his vital points, his right leg was hit by a sharp arrow, and his actions became a blur.
The problem is that the combat effectiveness has disappeared and it can no longer resist the attack of the opponent's elite soldiers.
"There will be another wave of arrows." Yang Wanchun silently guessed, because he felt that the other party would shoot three bursts of arrows to test the reality of the city. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, there was no whistling sound of arrows.
, I was suddenly shocked and was waiting to shout.
"Enemy attack." At this moment, Gao Yuanshan, who was hiding under the city wall, shouted loudly. His voice was extremely shrill. But it was earth-shattering. It turned out that Gao Yuanshan could see clearly there, but what surprised him was that the so-called
Yang Wanchun, the famous general who defended the city, didn't notice at all and was still stunned. This surprised him and he couldn't help shouting loudly. Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that this was the last thing he left in this world.
In a word. Soon his position was discovered by the attacking Tang army. A sharp sword and arrow whizzed past. If the high and distant mountains were normal, he might have been able to escape. Unfortunately, he was hit by two arrows now.
, where he could escape, he was hit in the middle of the eyebrow, killed by an arrow, and fell to the ruins of a broken wall. A fierce general from Goguryeo was killed in the hands of an ordinary soldier from the Tang Dynasty.
"Block the gap." Yang Wanchun's eyes were wide open and filled with blood. He stared at Gao Yuanshan's dead body, his heart filled with regret. He did not expect that because of his hesitation, Gao Yuanshan lost his life.
, it is said that a thousand troops are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. At the most critical moment in Anshi City, a strong general was very important to Yang Wanchun. But now, this general was shot dead in front of him.
, this made Yang Wanchun feel so embarrassed. He immediately drew out the sword from his waist, roared loudly, and commanded the soldiers under his command to kill towards the gap. In an instant, he collided head-on with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and a fierce cry of killing rang out. Unfortunately,
Unfortunately, to Yang Wanchun's dismay, the Tang army's individual combat strength was clearly superior to that of the Goguryeo soldiers. What's more, the Goguryeo soldiers' reaction was caught off guard, and the wall of the Great Wall suddenly collapsed.
It still collapsed under the opponent's attack, which caused a huge blow to the morale of the Goguryeo soldiers. During the action, they were even more afraid that the opponent's bow and arrow would suddenly fall from the sky and hit their head.
The scene of tragic death was right in front of them. As a result, it was inevitable that they would be timid during the attack. But the Tang army was different. The city wall that had been staring blankly suddenly collapsed, turning from a mountain peak into a smooth road. How could everyone not be surprised?
.The huge joy supported them to launch a crazy attack on the Goguryeo soldiers. Their morale was like a rainbow, and it was not something that the Goguryeo soldiers could resist. The battle situation between the two sides was immediately at odds. The Goguryeo soldiers retreated continuously, while the Tang Dynasty soldiers pressed forward step by step.
, the gap in the city wall continued to expand, and more and more Tang troops entered. Yang Wanchun, who was commanding in the distance, turned paler and paler. If this continues, it may be inevitable that the city will be lost soon.
"Block them, block them." Yang Wanxia waved the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly. He knew that once the Tang army invaded Anshi City, the Yang family would be the first to be wiped out. He didn't want to die, let alone be wiped out.
, they could only frantically resist the attack of the Tang army. However, everything was in vain, the general trend was irresistible.
