The shadows in the fog became clearer and clearer, and when Li Chengqian's prince's guard of honor was placed hundreds of steps away from the southern city wall of Anshi, whether it was the Goguryeo people or the prince of the Eastern Expedition, everyone was stunned!

As the commander of the whole army, few people would put themselves in such a high position, and Li Chengqian, who has the status of the crown prince, seems to be even more deserved.

The prince's guard of honor is so conspicuous on the battlefield, because it is too conspicuous when all the armies of the Tang Dynasty are black and white camouflage, and even the battle flag is black, it is simply the best target on the battlefield.

Not to mention the Liaodong army led by the prince, only Yu Rongchang and Jin Xiangdong above the city, these two guys beat their chests and feet after being surprised, looking at the bed crossbow and trebuchet that had fallen apart not far away, and were annoyed. complained about why I was lazy these days, and I didn't make a few more, or why I didn't hide a few in the first place.

If there is still a trebuchet with a bed crossbow at hand now, then the appointed minutes will make the arrogant prince of the Tang Dynasty look good, and let him know that the Great Goguryeo is not so easy to bully.

But soon, the chagrin turned into worry, because they saw the fanaticism from those Datang soldiers who were about to attack, and they had only heard that His Majesty the Emperor was in the battle in person and took the lead, but except for some veterans with good physical strength, most of the Datang soldiers had not seen it.

But now they saw it and believed it! As the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son, only if His Majesty the Emperor has really been in the battle array, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will do the same, otherwise as long as he is a person with a little brain, he will not let himself become a target on the battlefield.

In ancient times, in this era of great imperial power, as the crown prince can be on the front line of the battlefield, this is the greatest trust in the soldiers, and it is also the greatest encouragement.

Therefore, the Liaodong Army almost immediately fell into a frenzy when they saw the prince's guard of honor, and a feeling of being valued emerged in their hearts!

"The artillery fire is ready, please give the order from the chief manager!" In front of so many officers and soldiers, the eldest grandson put away his usual demeanor and tried to pull himself straight, Cui Ma came to Li Chengqian's guard of honor and reported aloud.

"Duan Zhan, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang...... are you all ready?" Li Chengqian's eyes swept away, looking at the reddened face and the excitement almost flew up and asked.

"Chief Administrator, we have already prepared for a long time, just waiting for an order!" Cheng Chumo pulled away Duan Zhan, who wanted to speak, and was the first to stand up.

"Good! Changsun Lian, ordered artillery, targeted the Goguryeo defenders at the head of the city, and fired ten rounds in a row; Pet Jionghui, let your people smash all the rockets prepared on the city, and leave no one behind. ”

"Duan Zhan, after the artillery fires, I need you to cover up and break through to the city wall as quickly as possible. After the rocket attack is fast, you must take the city wall for Lao Tzu, can you do it! ”

'Can you do it' Li Chengqian used an affirmative sentence, not a question sentence, and did not give Duan Zan any chance to explain, it was obvious that if he couldn't do it, he would be replaced immediately.

However, Xiao Duan was also stiff, and he replied with a stalk on his neck. "An hour after the shelling is over, if you can't take the south city wall, Duan Zan will come to see you."

"Okay, don't take prisoners in this battle, and anyone with a weapon will be killed!" Li Chengqian shouted loudly and set the tone for this war.

The soldier is the soul, and the soldier is the guts!

An army of 60,000 gathered under the southern city of Goguryeo, which looked densely black and oppressive, and the hot breath in the cold weather turned into steam and floated above the army's head, looking like a giant dragon spitting clouds.

Since the beginning of Zhenguan's early years, the crown prince has embarked on military reform, implementing a completely different training standard from the sixteen guards, and now it is finally time to test them, whether they are mules or horses, it depends on this experience.

Is Li Chengqian afraid? It's false to say that he is not afraid, although he has killed people before, but most of them are finished after the order is given, and he can't see that kind of bloody scene at all. And at that time, he was in the territory of Datang, and the general environment determined that he didn't need to be afraid of anything.

But this is different, this is Goguryeo, a country that the Tang Dynasty is invading, everyone here has deep malice towards them, and just a few hundred steps away from him Li Chengqian, there are more than 100,000 people who want him to die immediately.

But even so, so what? The form is stronger than the people, Goguryeo must be defeated, whether it is the old man's explanation or the development of the future empire, it is determined that he cannot retreat this time, and must stand up.

Anshi City must be taken, and it can't be long, and it can't be dragged on endlessly, otherwise as long as it waits until the spring flowers bloom, Chang'an's impeachment can completely bury him Li Chengqian four or five times.

"Boom ......" Just when Li Chengqian was slightly distracted, the war belonging to the Liaodong Army finally began, and dozens of Zhenguan cannons (more than a dozen brought from Chang'an, plus a batch left by Lao Li) roared at the same time.

......The solid iron ball the size of a human head with huge power instantly crossed hundreds of paces and hit the battlement of the city, and the screams sounded one after another in the debris splash.

This is different from a few days ago when Changsun Jian only used three or two Zhenguan cannons to bombard the city gate, and the spectacle of dozens of Zhenguan cannons firing at the same time is by no means comparable to that kind of small fight, otherwise how could the title of the god of war in later generations be brought on the head of 'it'.

Whether it was the Goguryeo people or the Liaodong Army, everyone was stunned after the first round of shelling, and Xiao Duan opened his mouth in surprise. He had also seen the shelling when he was in Liaodong City, but at that time only two cannons were used, and he withdrew after blasting open the gate of Liaodong City, so in Xiao Duan's opinion, the shelling was nothing more than that.

But after seeing the large-scale shelling, Xiao Duan was immediately stunned, what he saw was completely different from what he imagined, the kind of devastating scene made people think they were in hell.

Blood was visibly flowing down from the city, and the solid buttresses that could be smashed with a hammer were gone, replaced by jagged and ruined walls, and covered with flesh and blood from an unknown part of the body.

Although the terrible howls of the Goguryeo people were hundreds of steps apart, they still clearly reached everyone's ears, and from the painful screams, the Liaodong army could fully imagine how miserable the scene above the city was!
