"Capture Anshi City!"

The sound of trumpets echoed outside Anshi City. The Tang army launched a strong attack on Anshi City, which had become an isolated city. Hundreds of trebuchets took turns bombarding the city walls of Anshi City. Thunder-like sounds roared, and stones continued to bombard the wooden buildings on the city wall!

A corner of the eaves of the city tower was shattered by high-speed stones, causing rubble to fly!

The defenders at the top of the city closed their eyes subconsciously. The pressure brought by the trebuchet was frightening.

The bricks wrapped in the outer layer of the city wall were smashed, exposing the rammed earth layer inside.

The cities of Goguryeo were not much different from those of the Central Plains, and they were very familiar to the Tang army.

The huge crossbow was pushed out by the Tang army. The strong men with bare shoulders worked together to turn the winch, and huge one-meter-long crossbows were shot out, destroying the sculls!

Several giant crossbows sank into the soil of the city wall, and the sand fell down.

Two types of long-range siege equipment are showing off their power, and a large number of siege equipment such as siege towers, ladder trucks, wooden curtains, hook trucks, anemone, ram cars, and flying ladders are also ready.

The Tang army's trebuchets continued to fire from morning to noon, and the soldiers pulling the trebuchet ropes were sweating profusely.

The main force of the Tang army and the Han army had a full meal in no hurry. After defeating the Goguryeo reinforcements, the initiative to attack the city was in their hands. They could attack the city whenever they wanted.

After a month of preparation, the Tang army finally began to attack on the 30th day of the National War after the four towering earth mountains were built.

The four earthen hills are more than 20 meters high, and each is stationed with a team of Tang Army's marksmen and crossbows. From a high position, they can have a bird's eye view of Anshi City. The strength and mobilization of Anshi City's defenders are controlled by the Tang Army.

Chutian's Second Army of the Han Army was also in the offensive sequence.

Seeing the Tang army's trebuchets and ballistae, Chu Tian's scalp went numb. If Xia City was bombarded like this, the morale of the army would soon be shaken.

The opponent's defender Yang Wanchun seems to have a bonus in defending the city, and the Anshi City defenders are not yet in danger of collapse.

Hua Mulan wears a Tang sword around her waist and currently serves as Chu Tian's bodyguard.

She finally gave up on the Zhangba Masha, which even Chutian was a little scared of. This kind of weapon was not suitable for use after dismounting.

Trebuchets and ballistae had been bombarding for three days. The towers and arrow towers of Anshi City were almost destroyed by large siege equipment, clearing the way for the Tang army to attack.

dong dong dong

The low sound of drums seemed to come from afar, and the Tang army arrayed in Anshi City was preparing to attack.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was sitting in the carriage, accompanied by Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde and others, watching the battle in person.

The arrow tower on the earth mountain began to shoot at the city wall. The Tang army's siege phalanx surrounded the ramming vehicles, and the siege tower began to attack!

Catapults and ballistae were still roaring, adding to the tense atmosphere on the battlefield.

There were constant deaths of Goguryeo or Goryeo defenders.

The wooden curtains and heavy infantry shields blocked the rain of arrows, covering the crossbowmen and siege equipment as they attacked Anshi City.

"Fire the arrow!"

The defenders of Anshi City fired thousands of arrows, and the sky was filled with arrow rain, covering the Tang army!

An arrow hit the iron helmet of the general of the Tang Army, causing sparks to break out from the friction, and then bounced away!

The general of the Tang Army was not killed by a stray arrow because of the defense of his iron helmet, but the impact of the sharp arrow hitting his helmet made his ears ring.

The wooden planks of the wooden curtain were filled with arrows, and a group of archers hid behind them. After gradually approaching the shooting range, they turned around from behind the wooden curtain cart and fired arrows at the city wall.

The two sides rained arrows on each other. At this time, the Tang army's archers on the mountain showed their strength, and the Anshi city defenders faced a double attack from the upper and lower arrow rains.

Many defenders had to hold up wooden shields to block the rain of arrows falling from their heads.

"We must destroy these mountains of earth!"

The Lord of Anshi City ordered the trebuchets in the city to bombard the mountains.

The Goryeo lord hurriedly directed his soldiers to operate the trebuchet.

They thought that the three-month defense time would be fleeting, but they did not expect that Anshi City would be in danger in just one month.

The stones thrown by Anshi City hit the mountain and the stones rolled down!

"The defenders want to destroy our mountains!"

"Let them smash it. We have used 100,000 people and carefully calculated the mountains of earth. How can it be so easily destroyed by trebuchets."

Jiujiang Lao Qin was responsible for protecting the four earth mountains. This is his masterpiece.

The siege tower, which was more than ten meters high, was close to Anshi City and formed horns with the mountains. The archers of the Tang army shot arrows unscrupulously and hunted down the defenders on the city wall.

Anshi Castle defenders released rockets in an attempt to burn down the siege tower.

The Tang army covered the siege tower with cowhide in advance so that the rockets could not burn it down so easily.

A large number of Tang Army crossbowmen came forward to suppress the defenders and buy time for the ramming vehicles to advance.

"The Tang Army's ramming vehicle is approaching the city wall!"

"The Tang Army's Celestium is about to arrive at the bottom of the city wall!"

"The ladder truck and echelon team have been dispatched!"

Everyone was paying attention to the battlefield. A terrifying ramming car slowly approached the city gate. In order to push the ramming car, dozens of Tang Army soldiers died under the arrows of the defenders.

Once the ramming car breaks open the city gate, the Tang army will swarm up and the city will be captured!

"Damn it!"

The Goryeo lord Lee Min-cheol's face turned pale, and the city gate was hit by a ramming car. It was no joke.

"Don't worry." Yang Wanchun, the lord of Anshi City, put a hand on Lord Yiren's shoulder, "Take your martial arts squad and go guard the city gate. I have already arranged an ambush."

"yes……"

Li Minzhe had never seen such a huge siege scene and was almost frightened. Fortunately, as the city lord, Yang Wanchun was in charge of the overall situation.

boom!

The ramming car started slamming into the city gate!

Every time the huge battering ram hits, the city gate is overwhelmed and screams!

"one two three!"

The soldiers of the Tang army pushed the battering ram and would definitely knock the city gate open!

Everyone, including Chu Yun, felt nervous.

If the city gate could be breached, perhaps Anshi City would be captured and the national war would be over.

On the earth mountain, the siege towers were shooting arrows at the city wall, the engineers were digging tunnels and working hard to destroy the city wall, and groups of Tang army soldiers were attached. Even the giant crossbows just inserted into the city wall could be used as wooden ladders for Tang army soldiers to ascend the city.

However, most people's eyes are on the city gate.

Cracks gradually appeared in the wooden gate of Anshi City. Finally, after another violent impact, the wooden gate completely cracked, and Tang Army soldiers swarmed in!

The general of the Tang army who was at the forefront held an infantry gun and charged in with hundreds of Tang soldiers!

"No, this is a trap!"

The officers of the Tang Army on Tushan were constantly observing the movements in Anshi City. When they saw knife carts being pushed out of the alley, they quickly used flags to notify the Tang Army commander.

However, it was already too late. The sharp wooden fence fell down, isolating hundreds of Tang soldiers from the reinforcements in the rear!

There are several wooden fences inside the city gate, forming a simple urn city!

Hundreds of aggressive Tang troops mistakenly entered the Wengcheng. Behind the wooden fence were sword-carts and Goguryeo and Goryeo soldiers holding bows, arrows and spears.

Bows and arrows were fired, and the Tang army who stepped into the trap could not advance or retreat. They could only hold up their shields to resist.

The reinforcements in the rear chopped down wooden fences one after another in an attempt to join the surrounded Tang army.

However, everything was too late. The dense rain of arrows and spears stabbed hundreds of Tang soldiers to death. The generals of the Tang army died in the battle in the face of more than a dozen spears thrust at them.

"Give up attacking the city gate!"

Li Daozong, the chief siege general of the Tang army, decisively gave up attacking the city gate. It was obvious that the opponent had laid a dragnet behind the city gate, waiting for the Tang army to enter through the city gate, and then used the narrow terrain to kill the Tang army as much as possible.

Although the city gate was difficult to capture, some Tang troops had climbed onto the city wall and fought hand-to-hand with the Anshi defenders on the wall.

"Drive down the Tang army!"

The Goguryeo heavy infantry pressed forward with shields and pushed the Tang army off the city wall.

Even a general would fall to his death from the eight-meter-high city wall.

The defenders of Anshi City turned the winch and lowered the wolf fangs. The infantry of the Tang Army who were adhering to the siege saw a darkness above their heads and hundreds of sharp wolf fang iron nails falling down!

Yaksha's body rolled against the city wall, spilling fire oil!

"The Tang Army's siege tower is approaching!"

"Destroy it!"

The twelve-meter-high siege tower posed a huge threat to the defenders.

More than a dozen iron hooks hooked the siege tower, and hundreds of defenders worked together to pull the ropes! The heavy siege tower was losing strength to manpower and had a tendency to tilt and collapse!

"Cut off the flying claws!"

The Tang army archers on the siege tower did not bother to continue shooting arrows, but drew out their Tang swords and tried to cut off the flying claws.

boom!

The unsupportable siege tower was finally pulled down by the defenders, and dozens of Tang soldiers died.

The siege battle was extremely brutal, and even the most elite army would suffer losses in the face of a fortified city.

"At the time, the Mongols were marching across Europe and Asia and were blocked by Xiangyang for five years. The Song general Lu Wenhuan surrendered because he had no reinforcements outside and no food inside. The Mongol Khan Meng Ge sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Diaoyu City in Sichuan, and he was killed in the battle.

Below the city. It can be seen that it is difficult to attack a city, especially a fortified city surrounded by mountains and rivers."

Chutian saw that the Tang army attacked Anshi City, but suffered a lot of losses and was still unable to capture it. He felt that it was not easy to attack the city. As long as the opponent had defensive generals, a city could be surrounded for a year and a half without being captured.

Li Shimin's black armor cavalry, which dominates the world, cannot cross the solid city wall.

The first forceful attack was unsuccessful, so the Tang army retreated with gold and dispersed like a tidal wave.

Fang Xuanling witnessed this fierce siege and said to Chu Tian: "My lord, attack the heart first and attack the city second. If we continue to attack like this, maybe the morale of the Tang army will be lost."

"How to attack the mind?"

"If the defenders surrender, their behavior can be forgiven and everything will return to the past."

"This may require persuading Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."

Chutian sent Fang Xuanling to persuade Li Shimin, and the success rate would increase.

Some generals don't like each other, and some generals feel close to each other inexplicably.

Probably Fang Xuanling's advice had an effect, and the Tang army fired a surrender letter into Anshi City. If the defenders of Anshi City surrendered, then His Majesty the Emperor would forgive everyone in Anshi City and let bygones be bygones.

The surrender letter fell into the hands of the defenders of Anshi City, and the defenders finally began to waver.

Seeing the four tall mountains outside the city and the closely formed Tang army, they doubted whether they could continue to defend Anshi City.

Not only that, Li Shimin also ordered two Goguryeo generals, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, to persuade them to surrender outside the city, which shook the morale of the Anshi city defenders.

Now even the Goryeo lords don't have the courage to fight.

They had never seen hundreds of thousands of Tang and Han troops surrounding Anshi city layer after layer. The fear of being surrounded made people sleepless at night.

The only thing that prevented the Goryeo lord from surrendering was the accusations from other Goryeo players after returning to Goryeo.

Yang Wanchun, the lord of Anshi City, thought twice about the surrender letter and finally said: "As long as we defend until September, the Tang army will definitely retreat and there is no need to surrender."

"The Lord of the City has said so, and we will obey his orders."

The Goryeo lord has the guarantee from the city lord and plans to continue to resist.

"They are offending Tianwei."

Chu Tian knew that Li Shimin was not a good person. He just didn't want the Tang army to suffer too many casualties. But if he repeatedly challenged his patience, Li Shimin would become furious.

Sure enough, after the lord of Anshi City refused to surrender, Li Shimin, who felt offended, ordered the Tang army to increase their siege efforts.

The Tang army was divided into several groups and attacked Anshi City by force.

Catapults and ballistae roared, a piece of the city wall was destroyed, and almost all the bricks outside fell off, exposing the soil.

Tushan consumes as many as one hundred thousand arrows every day.

The Tang army stormed Anshi City, which was extremely painful for the defenders of Anshi City and the Goryeo lords.

Li Shimin was kind to the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He did not force the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty to attack the city, but asked the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty to join the battle themselves.

If you want to gain military merit, you can apply to the Tang Army, and the Tang Army will arrange your troops to attack the city.

Some lords who lacked military merit chose brutal siege warfare.

Chu Tian did not participate in the siege. The siege consumes a lot of soldiers. He already has tens of thousands of military merits, so he does not lack this military merit.

"Liu Zongmin, you lead the refugee army to attack the city. Be careful not to die in battle."

The leader of Hanzhong claimed that he was ranked at the bottom, so he always had to earn some military merits before he could be ranked at the front.

A stout general led the Chuangwang refugee army and joined the Tang army's siege sequence.

Liu Zongmin, a general under the command of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, participated in the siege with a sword and shield in hand.

One by one, the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of siege to gain military exploits.

In the Myeongryang Strait, fire spread, warships from both sides engaged in battle, rockets were fired, and navy soldiers jumped onto the other side's deck to engage in a boarding battle.

The tall ships of the Tang Army were as huge as the Japanese navy. The soldiers of the Japanese navy could only use flying hooks to try to climb onto the ship.

Liu Rengui was surrounded by a group of Tang Army navy soldiers who had fought many battles. They cut off the flying hooks and a large number of Japanese navy soldiers fell into the sea.

The two sides fought, and people died every moment.

The archers of the Tang Army were condescending and shot down the Japanese navy soldiers on the opposite side.

"Throw them into the sea and feed them to the fish!"

The lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty fought bloody battles with the Japanese navy, and blood splattered everywhere.

Pan Mei, a military general of the Song Dynasty, held an iron spear and killed several Japanese navy soldiers!

The Japanese navy soldiers used blades similar to the Han Dynasty ring swords, while the warriors of the Japanese lords used samurai swords, and the ashigaru used bows, arrows and spears. A dozen Japanese warriors surrounded Pan Mei, but could not take him down. Instead, they were frequently beaten by Pan Mei.

Killed by beauty.

Tongque arrived with a team of sword and shield fighters and destroyed the surrounding Japanese warriors.

His face was blackened by smoke, and there were ships and seas of fire everywhere.

The navies of both sides fought fiercely in the Myeongryang Strait, using all means. They fought continuously for five days. The rockets hitting the Tang army were almost exhausted, and the Tang and Han knives curled up.

In a small battlefield, the competition is about whose will is stronger and whose ship is stronger!

A Japanese military general dragged a large naginata and chopped down an Eastern Han navy soldier: "Asahi General Kiso Yoshinaka is here. How dare Liu Rengui of the Tang army come down to fight!"

What responded to him was the rockets of the Tang Army... The Japanese generals had to flee in confusion when faced with the rockets of the Tang Army.
