Chapter 1011: Heavy Punch (1)
Chinese New Year's Eve was originally a day of reunion for thousands of families, but because of the need for an eastward crusade, Li Chengqian had to stay away from Chang'an alone, squatting in this place where birds don't and waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
And Anshi City is also blocked by the army outside the city, so it has to be extremely vigilant, even if it is Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, no one can put down their hearts and have a good New Year.
During this period of time, the Tang Heavenly Soldiers have been constantly attacking and harassing the city pass, and the hateful triangular arrows and the kind of explosive packages have made the defenders on the city miserable.
Every time those Tang Heavenly Soldiers go out, they won't go back at all if they don't take away a hundred or ten lives, and those Heavenly Soldiers didn't have any attack ability, except for losing the package, they were simply 'useless'.
But since that day, a single heavenly soldier came over and killed two people, those Datang heavenly soldiers had weapons to attack, and with the advantage of high altitude and high speed, they could overlook the whole city, as long as it was the target they wanted to kill, there was no one to dodge from at all, unless they ran into a sheltered place.
But is it possible? When the siege was going on outside, everyone ran into the gate building? Do you want to defend the city? Do you want to kill the enemy? Can you still watch the Tang people attack the city wall because you are afraid of death?
That damn prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was bombarding the city gate with something that would make a loud noise and be powerful day and night, and the deafening sound was so noisy that people couldn't sleep at all, Yu Rongchang would worry about whether the city gate of Anshi City would be blasted open every time he heard that voice, even if he had ordered someone to completely seal the city gate, he still couldn't change this habit.
So, really counting, Yu Rongchang, the old guy, hasn't slept well for a whole month, and the frightened whole person has lost weight several times every day, and people who stand in the yard and see him at night often think it's a clothes rack.
Gao Jianwu's clan uncle has also not had a good rest for a long time, since Ye Mei and Yang Yuxin left, this old guy has become restless, and the whole person is like a boil on his buttocks.
Even Yu Rongchang can see the difference between the two of them, how can he, a guy who is about to get old, not see it, but it can't be seen just by seeing it, if you want to save your life, you have to nod the two of them.
Now the two of them left quietly, and it seems that they should never come back, which makes the old man very disappointed, looking at Yu Rongchang's eyes always with a trace of unkindness, it seems that Yu Rongchang handed over not a few Tang people, including his old life.
In the ninth year of Zhenguan, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the sky was still bright, a siren from the Goguryeo defenders broke the silence of the early morning: "Enemy attack!" ”
The shout of "bang bang bang ......" fell, all kinds of bells and drums for warning on the city head were sounded, and countless Goguryeo defenders rushed to the city head, holding long bows and short crossbows and crowded together. As for the people of Anshi City, after hearing the warning, all of them went back to their homes, locked the gates and hid in the clothes frame and something.
There is no way, the Datang Heavenly Soldiers are too difficult to deal with, in order to prevent accidental injuries, they can only let the people hide, so that no matter which direction the Datang Heavenly Soldiers attack from, those archers on the ground can give it a go, and they don't have to worry about hurting their own people.
However, it is very obvious that Li Chengqian did not directly send heavenly soldiers this time, but dispatched ground troops, a combat group of five people, separated by four or five paces between people, and maintained a position where the whole group could be heard when they shouted.
It's weird, what kind of tactics is this? Compared with the attack under normal circumstances, the skirmish line attack was not something that Yu Rongchang could understand, so when he saw the sparse attack team below, he frowned suspiciously.
After a while, Yu Rongchang gave up his command and handed over the responsibility to his subordinates: "To the east, the task of command is handed over to you, this time the Tang army is very different from what we are familiar with, you have to be careful." ”
Be careful? Be careful of the fart, you haven't seen Lao Tzu before? Jin Xiangdong cursed secretly, turned his head and ordered the Goguryeo defenders beside him: "Keep an eye on the outside of the city, prepare your bow and arrows." ”
"Crunch ......" The tooth-souring sound sounded, the wooden longbow slowly opened the strings, and the pedal crossbow was also pulled away little by little, but compared to the Datang steel crossbow, although their crossbow may be a little more powerful, it is undeniable that the slow speed is by no means a little bit.
"Look, what's that?!" Just after more than 10,000 people led the army out of the dense fog circle, Zhenguan Cannon revealed its true colors for the first time in front of the defenders of Anshi City.
"So, what the hell is that, and who of you have ever seen it?" After Yu Rongchang vaguely saw Zhenguan Cannon, he inquired around him, but the result was to shake his head in unison.
Zhenguan Cannon is the biggest secret of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention Goguryeo, even if it is the Tang Dynasty, few old people know it.
"Artillery preparation!" Changsun Jian was still in charge of the operation of the Zhenguan cannon, and at a distance of about four hundred steps below the city, he ordered the troops to stop.
Today's battle is a crucial battle, if they can take Anshi City, if they can't take the ......, they should be like Li Chengqian said, this war will be fought into a protracted war, and if they have not won it before the ice and snow melt, it is likely that they will have to face reinforcements sent by Goguryeo.
"Your Highness, we only have 60,000 people now, can we really take down Anshi City?" Li Chengqian's side, Yang Yuxin asked softly.
At the beginning, this little girl was trying to let the Night Charm woman dress up as a man, and used Yu Rongchang's daughter to get close to the city lord of Anshi City, and then find an opportunity to persuade him to surrender, but in the end, the Night Charm couldn't bear to deceive the woman, so the plan to do it didn't succeed.
Later, Yu Rongchang also expressed his attitude towards the two of them, that is, you can do anything, just don't surrender, which also made Yang Yuxin completely extinguish the idea of persuading Yu Rongchang to surrender.
Therefore, in the rescue plan arranged by Li Chengqian, she and Ye Mei did not raise any objections, and directly followed the group of Tang travelers out of Anshi City and returned to His Highness's side.
"You have been in the city for so long, you should know how strong their will to resist is, if you want 60,000 people to make them surrender, this can't be done, but if you want to kill them all, it's easy, never underestimate the destruction of backward civilization by advanced civilization, this is a double crushing of physical and mental, and the demise of the Goguryeo people is only a matter of time."
