New Year's Eve was originally a day for families to reunite, but because of the need for the Eastern Expedition, Li Chengqian had to stay away from Chang'an alone and wait for the best time to attack in this place where birds do not shit.

And Anshi City was blocked by the army outside the city, so they had to be extremely vigilant. Even on New Year's Eve, no one could be relieved and have a good New Year steadily.

Over the past period of time, the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers have been constantly raiding the city gate. The abominable triangular arrows and the explosive package have made the defenders on the citytop miserable.

Every time the Tang Dynasty heavenly soldiers were dispatched, they would not go back without taking away a hundred or ten lives. The heavenly soldiers had no attack ability before, and they were simply "useless" except for throwing packages.

However, since a single heavenly soldier came to kill two people that day, the Tang Dynasty soldiers had attack weapons, and with the advantage of high altitude and high speed, they could overlook the whole city. As long as they were the target they wanted to kill, there was no one who could escape, unless they ran into a blocked place.

But is this possible? When the city is under siege outside, everyone runs into the city gate building? Should the city still be defended? Should the enemy still be killed? Can they still watch the Tang people attack the city wall because they are afraid of death?

The damn Prince of Tang Dynasty, he was using the one that would make a huge sound day and night, and the powerful thing was bombarding the city gate. The deafening sound made people unable to fall asleep at all. Every time Yu Rongchang heard that sound, he would worry about whether the city gate of Anshicheng would be blown open. Even if he had ordered people to completely seal the city gate, he still could not change this habit.

So, really, this old guy Yu Rongchang hasn't slept well for a whole month. He was so scared that he lost weight several times every day. When he stood in the yard at night, people who saw him often thought it was a clothes rack.

Gao Jianwu's clan uncle also hadn't had a good rest for a long time. Since Ye Mei and Yang Yuxin left, the old guy became restless and felt like he had a boil on his butt.

Even Yu Rongchang could see that Ye Mei and the others were different. How could he, a guy who was about to grow old, not be able to see it? But it wouldn't be possible to just see it. If you want to save your life, Ye Mei and the others would have to nod.

Now the two left quietly, and it seemed that they would never come back again, which disappointed the old man. Looking at Yu Rongchang, he always looked at him with such a slight bad attitude. It seemed that Yu Rongchang was not the people who handed over the Tang Dynasty, but also his life.

On the ninth year of Zhenguan, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when it was still dawn, a police call from the Goguryeo defenders broke the tranquility of the morning: "Enemy attack!"

"Bang bang bang..." The shouts were all the bells and drums used for warnings on the city wall were ringing, and countless Goguryeo defenders rushed to the city wall, holding long bows and short crossbows and crowded together. As for the people of Anshi City, after hearing the warning, everyone returned to their homes, locked the door and hid in things like clothes.

There is no way, the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers are too difficult to deal with. In order to prevent accidental injuries, all the people can hide. In this way, no matter which direction the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers attack, the archers on the ground can give it a try, without worrying about hurting their own people.

However, it is obvious that Li Chengqian did not directly send out the heavenly soldiers this time, but dispatched ground troops, with five people in a combat team, and everyone was separated by four or five steps, maintaining a position that could be heard when the whole group shouted.

It's weird, what kind of tactic is this? Compared with the attack under normal circumstances, the attack on the scattered line is not something Yu Rongchang can understand, so when he saw the sparse attacking team below, he frowned in confusion.

After a while, Yu Rongchang gave up his command and handed over the responsibility to his subordinates: "Xiangdong, the commanded task is handed over to you. This time the Tang army is very different from what we are familiar with. You must be careful."

Be careful? Be careful, I have seen it before you have seen it before? Jin Xiangdong cursed inwardly, turned his head to order the Goguryeo defenders around him, "Look at the outside of the city, prepare for bows and arrows."

"Cruff..." A sour sound rang out. The wooden longbow slowly opened the echord, and the pedal crossbow was pulled apart bit by bit. However, compared with the Tang steel crossbow, their crossbow may be a little more powerful, but it is undeniable that the slow speed is definitely not a little bit slow.

"Look, what is that?!" Just after Wan Yue Liu led his army out of the thick fog circle, the Zhenguan Pao revealed its true face in front of the Anshicheng defenders for the first time.

"Then, who has seen that thing? "After vaguely seeing the Zhenguan Cannon, Yu Rongchang asked around him, but after getting the result, he shook his head unanimously.

The biggest secret of the Tang Dynasty in Zhenguan cannons is not the case with Goguryeo, even the Tang Dynasty has few old people.

"Article fire preparation!" Changsun Huan was still responsible for the operation of the Zhenguan artillery. He ordered the troops to stop at about four hundred steps below the city.

Today's battle is a crucial battle. It would be fine if Anshicheng could be won, but if it could not be taken down... it would probably be as Li Chengqian said, turning this war into a protracted war. If it was not taken before the ice and snow melted, it is very likely that they would have to face reinforcements sent by Goguryeo.

"Your Highness, we only have 60,000 people now. Can we really conquer Anshi City?" Yang Yuxin asked softly beside Li Chengqian.

At the beginning, the little girl asked Ye Mei to disguise herself as a man, and used Yu Rongchang's daughter to approach the city lord of Anshi City, and then found an opportunity to persuade him to surrender. However, in the end, Ye Mei couldn't bear to deceive the woman, so the plan to use the trick did not succeed.

Later, Yu Rongchang also expressed his attitude to the two of them, that is, he could chat with anything, just don’t surrender. This also completely extinguished Yang Yuxin’s idea of ​​persuading Yu Rongchang to surrender.

So in the rescue plan arranged by Li Chengqian, she and Ye Mei did not raise any objections, and directly followed the group of Tang Dynasty travelers out of Anshicheng and returned to the side of His Highness.

"You have been in the city for so long, you should know how strong their will to resist is. If 60,000 people want them to surrender, it is impossible, but it is easy to kill them all. Never underestimate the destruction of advanced civilizations on backward civilizations. This is a double crushing of physical and spiritual forces. The demise of the Goguryeo people is only a matter of time."
