Chapter 1027: Long Attack
The offensive of the Don army was rapid.
However, there are also a lot of Goguryeo soldiers and horses on the side of Anshi City, so although the Tang army attacked quickly, it was not easy to easily capture Anshi City.
Even, it was impossible for the Tang army to break through the city gates.
And when the Tang army was frantically attacking the city here, on the side of Silla, Jinjiang had already led the soldiers and horses to start attacking the city.
Silla had 40,000 soldiers and horses, which was not a small number, and in Jinjiang's opinion, the Tang army had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Goguryeo in the city should disperse more soldiers and horses to the Tang army.
They shouldn't have too much pressure here.
However, when they really began to attack the city, they found that there seemed to be a lot of Goguryeo soldiers and horses in the city, and they changed one after another.
They have been fighting here for a long time, but they have not made the slightest progress.
As soon as their men crossed the moat, they found the frantic counterattack of the Goguryeo soldiers and horses, and one after another the soldiers and horses were repulsed, or even directly annihilated.
The killing is even more crazy here, but the soldiers and horses on the Silla side who die more are the dead.
Something is wrong.
Jin Jiang looked at the siege situation, and his eyebrows slowly condensed.
"Goguryeo sent a lot of soldiers and horses here?"
Jin Jiang is not a stupid person, after seeing this situation, he naturally thought of this, and after understanding, he also somewhat understood what Goguryeo meant, they wanted to use more soldiers and horses to weaken the soldiers and horses of his Silla Kingdom and force them to retreat.
As long as they retreated, with the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Army, they would not even be able to break through Lin Wuwei's Infinite Array, let alone attack the city.
Jin Jiang's eyes stared, and he quickly ordered: "You don't have to enter the palace too intensely. ”
The Tang army is still fighting, and his side naturally does not dare to withdraw his troops, but if he keeps attacking the city like this, he is afraid that there will be few of his 40,000 soldiers and horses left.
Therefore, we can only pretend to feint and minimize casualties.
And after he did this, he could only pin all his hopes on the Tang army, and there must be fewer defenders on the Tang army's side, hoping that the Tang army could capture Anshi City.
The two sides fought like this for a day, and when dusk came, the autumn wind seemed even more raging.
The Silla side failed to capture Anshi City, and the Tang army also failed to capture Anshi City, and the casualties on both sides were not small.
Li Shimin's eyes stared, and he suddenly felt an indescribable pressure.
After fighting for so long, he had never been so defeated.
He suddenly felt that he might have made a mistake this time, but from the moment he decided, he was already ready to send it.
He has no other choice, even if this battle is difficult to fight, he has to save face.
"Holy Lord, it's getting late, and I definitely won't be able to capture Anshi City today, so let's retreat." Li Ji took a look at the situation, and then proposed to withdraw from the army.
Li Shimin nodded, and did not hesitate too much, because today's battle is indeed no longer necessary.
"Retreat."
The Tang army quickly retreated from Anshi City, and the Silla Kingdom quickly retreated when it got the news.
When night came, the smell of blood here in Anshi City was still very strong, and several owls and hungry wolves were watching these corpses around, but the entire Anshi City was quiet without a single ripple.
In the Tang army camp, Li Shimin's face was very ugly, and a group of generals and strategists stood on both sides, not daring to speak.
"There are too few soldiers and horses in Silla Kingdom, and they can't play any role at all, Anshi City is still difficult to attack, you Aiqing, what good strategies do you have for this?"
Li Shimin asked, and everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up.
All of their Datang's siege weapons have been used, but they have little effect, so they can't attack it, and they don't know what to do if they stand up and say something.
The atmosphere in the big tent was a little solemn and a little embarrassing, and Li Shimin's question was not answered, which made Li Shimin's cheeks twitch slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't there anyone who stands up and says a word or two?"
Asked again, at this time, Qin Tian stood up: "Shengshang, judging from the current situation, if my Tang army is willing to sacrifice more soldiers and horses to attack the city, there is still hope to capture Anshi City, but in that case, the last remaining of our 100,000 men is only 20,000 or 30,000, in the opinion of the minister, now that the Silla Kingdom is divided into the three kingdoms of Silla, Goguryeo and Baekje, there must be very chaos between the three kingdoms of them in the future, we might as well wait for them to weaken each other before destroying them." ”
Qin Tian's words were more tactful, but everyone understood the meaning.
Now is not the time to attack them, so it is better to withdraw for the time being.
Qin Tian wanted to withdraw from the army, but after he said this, Gao Shilian suddenly snorted: "Silla neglected my Tang Dynasty before and killed my Tang envoy, and now my Tang Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly, if I don't get the field back, I will withdraw the army, isn't it a shame?" ”
Gao Shilian also wanted to withdraw from the army in his heart, but he knew very well what Li Shimin was thinking, so he said such a thing to cater to Li Shimin, and at the same time, he could also find an opportunity to embarrass Qin Tian.
After all, Qin Tian wants to withdraw from the army, which makes people feel ashamed, and the person who said this is a shame.
Bloodless.
After Gao Shilian said this, Li Shimin's expression condensed, as an emperor, what he wanted was face, what Gao Shilian said obviously had no problem at all, and it was obviously not possible to withdraw from the army if he didn't get this field back.
"What Gao Aiqing said is very true, if I don't defeat them, I won't retreat, okay, I ordered to go down, let the soldiers rest well, and attack the city again early tomorrow morning, and warn the Silla Kingdom, let them cheer me up, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to them."
In today's war, the number of people lost by Silla is not as large as that of the Tang Army, and Li Shimin and they don't have to think about it to know what is going on, it must be that Silla is not using all its strength.
They want to put down the rebellion of Silla, but they still refuse to use all their strength, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
However, they believe that with Li Shimin's warning, they will definitely have to contribute more tomorrow.
The night passed like this, and the next morning, the Tang army and the soldiers and horses of the Silla Kingdom once again came to the outside of Anshi.
The soldiers and horses of the two countries were assembled separately, but this time, the Tang army was not in a hurry to attack the city.
"Li Shimin, I killed a lot of Tang troops yesterday, and today you dare to attack the city, it seems that you don't take the life of the Tang Dynasty boy seriously at all, it's really sad that they have an emperor like you."
Lin Wuwei looked at Li Shimin and laughed, he just wanted to provoke Li Shimin with words, and he also wanted to use words to affect the morale of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, only in this way did he feel that they could be foolproof.
In the face of Lin Wuwei's provocation, Li Shimin only showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "You can start." ”
