Chapter 1099: Are You Willing to Surrender?

"Kill, the first one to storm the city, the reward is thousands!" Cheng Yanjin looked at the south gate of Anshi City, which was filled with smoke and dust, and immediately roared in ecstasy, which also greatly boosted the morale of the Tang army, and countless soldiers rushed towards the gap without forgetting their lives.

It is still the south city gate that was blown open by Cheng Yanjin last time, although it was later blocked by Yang Wanchun with bricks and stones, but it is definitely not as strong as the original city wall, and it is also very easy to dig a big hole to accommodate the siege tube, so when attacking just now, Cheng Yanjin sent a death squad to rush to the city with a turtle cart, and then dug up the city wall to attack the city tube, and blew up the city wall again.

Originally, the south of the city was the focus of the defense of the Goguryeo people, but in the past few days, Li Daozong has been building earth mountains in the direction of the southeast corner day and night, which not only attracts the attention of the Goguryeo people in the city, but also attracts the Goguryeo troops in other directions, so that the defense of the south of the city naturally becomes weak.

Last time, Cheng Biting Jin failed to capture Anshi City, which has always been a shame in his life, and Li Shimin also understood him, so last time Li Daozong proposed to build an earth mountain in the southeast corner of Anshi City on the surface, but the actual purpose was to attract the strength of the Goguryeo people.

And this time Cheng Biting Jin is also ruthless, just now with a turtle car transported more than a dozen siege tubes, the so-called turtle car is like a turtle-like car, the cover on it is very strong, can defend against bows and arrows and even stones, and then the soldiers hide under it, push to the city wall can make holes, as for the moat in front of the city wall, it has been filled in as early as the last attack, so the gap opened this time is even bigger than last time, and there are not so many soldiers in the city to defend.

In this case, the Goguryeo defenders in the south of the city could not stop the Tang army's offensive at all, and even the Tang army captured the gap at the beginning, and then countless Tang troops poured into the city in a steady stream and began to kill in the direction of the center of the city.

Yang Wanchun also reacted quickly, knowing that he had been tricked, but unfortunately it was too late at this time, he originally wanted to send reinforcements to the south of the city to support, but the Tang army, which was originally building the earth mountain outside the city, began to throw down sandbags, put out siege equipment and began to attack the city, dragging the main force in the city here.

If Yang Wanchun forcibly withdraws his troops to support the south of the city, I am afraid that this place will be immediately broken by the Tang army, but if he does not support, the Tang army will attack here sooner or later.

Cheng Biting Jin's attack was very smooth, after the Tang army rushed into Anshi City, part of it rushed to the center of the city, and the other part killed the head of the city, and soon occupied the head of the city with superior troops, and then along the city wall to kill in the direction where Yang Wanchun was, and the Tang army outside the city was sandwiched inside and outside, and soon the main force of Goguryeo could not resist, especially after the city was broken, it was a huge blow to the psychology of the Goguryeo people, and many people also gave up resistance, after all, not everyone can die generously.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Li Xiu and other ministers who were fighting outside the city saw this situation, and they also congratulated Li Shimin at the moment, although Anshi City has not yet been defeated, but with the current situation, if Yang Wanchun can still turn the tables, then Cheng Biting Jin These generals can commit suicide.

However, even in this case, the Tang army still encountered great resistance after entering the city, although there were many Goguryeo people who gave up resistance, but there were still many people who did not retreat, even if they died, they also wanted to die with the Tang army, so the Tang army also fell into a painful street battle, fortunately, the Tang army was well-equipped, and there was gunpowder to open the way, which was also very effective in reducing the casualties of the Tang army, otherwise after this battle, I am afraid that the Tang army would have to pay at least tens of thousands of casualties.

With the Tang army continuously entering the city, by the evening, most of the entire Anshi City had been occupied by the Tang army, except for the city lord's mansion, which was held by Yang Wanchun's son Yang Chong, and there was also the location of the city wall where Yang Wanchun was located, which was originally the main force of Goguryeo, under the command of Yang Wanchun, these main forces of Goguryeo held a section of the city wall several miles long, and the Tang army was stubbornly repelled by them several times.

At this time, it was already dark, Li Shimin asked people to suspend the attack and began to clean up the occupied areas in the city, after all, in these areas, there are still some stragglers or civilians who dare to resist, although these people do not affect the overall situation, but from time to time they will come out to sneak attack the patrolling Tang Army, which is enough to make people disgusting.

By the next morning, most of the area of Anshi City had been firmly controlled by the Tang army, and the city lord's mansion was also surrounded by the Tang army, in fact, the city lord's side of the Goguryeo army was not much, about 2,000 people, but the city lord's mansion was built very tall and strong, plus it was dark yesterday, so the attack was suspended, as for Yang Wanchun, he never gave up resistance, and even organized a breakthrough at night, but was beaten back by the Tang army.

Although Anshi City has not been completely defeated, but Li Shimin does not care, and now led the ministers into Anshi City, but he did not go to the direction of the city lord's mansion, but went to the section of the city wall where Yang Wanchun was surrounded, when they came here, they found that Goguryeo had built a low wall with debris piled up on the city wall, and successfully blocked the Tang army from the outside with the low wall.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is here, let Yang Wanchun come to answer!" After Li Shimin came here, he immediately asked people to pass on his words, and the other party quickly reacted, only to see a middle-aged guard appear behind the low wall, this person is of medium stature, and his appearance is very ordinary, but his eyes are very calm, even if he is surrounded now, he is not panicked at all.

"The city lord of Anshi has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" I saw Yang Wanchun looking at Li Shimin in the distance, and then bowed slightly, although they met on the battlefield, he did not lose his courtesy.

"City Lord Yang, now that my army has occupied most of Anshi City, only you and the City Lord's Mansion remain, and the City Lord's Mansion has your family there, so I didn't let people attack, now are you willing to surrender?" Li Shimin asked loudly at this time, although Yang Wanchun was defeated, he had already proved his talent, so Li Shimin also had a heart of love for talent, and a prestigious Goguryeo nobleman like Yang Wanchun, after surrendering, it would also be conducive to the future rule of the Tang Dynasty here, now it depends on Yang Wanchun's own choice.
