More than ten thousand torches dyed the world red!

Luo Shixin took advantage of the light of more than ten thousand torches to see everything about Anshicheng: Luo Shixin did not pass through Anshicheng when he entered Goguryeo, and today it was the first time he saw what this tough city that resisted Li Shimin's offensive in history looked like.

Looking at Anshicheng, Luo Shixin showed a sudden expression: the generals around him also showed a grim expression. They had experienced many battles and could see at a glance that Anshicheng was difficult to deal with, and the difficulty of dealing with may not be inferior to Liaodong Giant City.

Like other hard cities, Anshi City is a mountain city, built on the mountain. It has a higher terrain on the east, north and south sides, lower on the west side, and a low-lying valley in the middle, which divides the mountain city into two parts. The entire mountain city is irregularly elliptical, mainly composed of city walls, city gates, watchtowers, horse roads, outer city walls, etc. The western city wall is low, and most of it is artificially built, with water gates and west gates. The bottom of the water gate wall is almost all natural ridges, and the rocks are east-west fault layers, gradually decreasing from north to south. The northern city wall is more than 230 meters long, and the eastern city wall is also more than 100 meters. The rocks on the outside of the two sections of the city wall are steep and the slopes are very large.

What was placed in front of the Tang army was such a solid city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

General Luo Shixin moved his military camp to the south of An City, rested on the spot, waiting for the delivery of siege equipment: he also arranged for soldiers and soldiers to cut down the surrounding trees, and acted like a big fanfare to siege the city.

That night, Luo Shixin held a military meeting for granted, and the generals gathered together.

"You all called you here overnight to tell you about some of the situations that only a few people knew about the attack on Anshi City." Luo Shixin said straight to the key to the meeting: the beginning surprised the generals and could not help but look at each other. In the past, Luo Shixin held military meetings to let everyone express their opinions and give ideas, form a cheerful atmosphere of discussion with each other, gather everyone's strengths, and explore a reasonable combat method. Although the subsequent choice and decision-making power were still on Luo Shixin. However, such open discussion gave all generals the opportunity to communicate and let all generals find their own sense of existence.

This time it was an accident. He skipped the moment of discussion and the generals were still a little uncomfortable.

However, there was no other idea. This would be a bad choice for the outside king, especially for the emperor who was well aware of the strategy of military strategy, he knew better than anyone else that a general who fought outside could not stand the interference of the rear and would never limit the commander's decision-making power.

None of the generals could interfere with the power the head coach had.

"I have been to Goguryeo. I have a certain understanding of Goguryeo. There are only a few people who are truly worthy of our fear of this huge Goguryeo. Among them, Yuanziyou, who is known as the savior, has passed away, and the war god Yizhi Wende also died in my hands due to accident. We thought that Yuan Binzhi of Liaodong, the Great Wall, was defeated by us and committed suicide. Now there are only two people in the entire Goguryeo who can be called an opponent, one is Yuan Gaisuwen, who now holds the military and political power of Goguryeo, and the other is our face.

Yang Wanchun, the former city lord of Anshi City. In my opinion, although Yang Wanchun is not famous, he is probably more than Yuan Gaisuwen and Yuanbin when it comes to military capabilities. From the very beginning, I believed that this Anshi City would become the biggest test of our eastern expedition. It is a more severe test than Liaodong City. So when I first came into contact with General Zuo and others, I asked him to arrange their subordinates to sneak into Anshi City. Now there are a thousand internal supporters of our army in Anshi City, who can cooperate with us to capture Anshi City."

"That's great! The chief manager is really as expected..." Zhang Shigui was overjoyed and said excitedly: "What are you hesitating about? Anshi City is indeed solid. After all, it is a small city. As long as we join forces with the soldiers hidden in the city, we can handle the inside and outside, and we can take down this city."

All the generals were also full of joy. Unexpectedly, the headache would be easily solved.

Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "Things are not so optimistic. Yang Wanchun is not an easy person. It would be fine if we can shake Anshi City from inside to outside. If we are not strong, then what should we do?"

Li Daozong also said at this time: "It's not that. My Tang Dynasty powerhouse is dominating the world and has not met an opponent yet. Although this Anshi City is strong, I will be able to take Anshi in the end. What's more, we need more than a thousand to help me?"

Luo Shixin frowned and said unyieldingly: "I always feel that Yang Wanchun cannot be careless. Even if I have an insider, I will never be sure of winning. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Let's try the depth of the soldiers in this city before deciding how to act."

Li Daozong, Zhang Shigui and other generals all felt that Luo Shixin was making a big fuss, but the commander was not good at doing anything, so they retreated one after another.

Liu Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Mo Hu'er were still in the tent.

"You think I'm making a big deal?" Luo Shixin said to everyone with a smile.

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "I have been with the Lord for many years. I know that Lord is not a timid person. There is only one possibility that I can make such an adult. I care about the lives of the soldiers and do not want the soldiers under my command to make unnecessary sacrifices."

Liu Rengui and Mo Hu'er nodded one after another.

Luo Shixin said cautiously: "You still understand me! I noticed a detail about Yang Wanchun, An City. Yang Wanchun went to Liaodong to learn the Central Plains cultural art of war, "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Three Strategies", "Six Strategies" and so on. But what he admired the most was Wu Qi, who hung Wu Qi's portrait in his room and regarded the four words "governance is victory" as his motto. What did you think of?"

Su Dingfang's expression was heavy.

Liu Rengui also said: "If Yang Wanchun admires Sun Wu and Han Xin and other sages are not afraid, but he admires Wu Qi, then he should not be underestimated. If his subordinates understand the concerns of the chief executive, and know themselves and the enemy, they can win every battle. If they don't even know the true strength of the enemy, how can they be invincible?"

Liu Rengui's words did not mean that Sun Wu and Han Xin was not as good as Wu Qi, but that they had substantial differences in military use.

Sun Wu and Han Xin were representatives of the war planners. Sun Wu had few achievements, but in the battle of defeating Chu, Sun Wu formulated a thousand-mile march in depth, attacked in a deep way, lured the enemy into depth, changed in reality and body, retreated and tired the enemy, and defeated the arrogant Chu State with weak defeated the strong. It was also because the tactics of this battle were used like fire, and later Wei Liaozi said: "Whoever raised a hundred thousand people but no one in the world is called Duke Huan. Whoever raised a seventy thousand people but no one in the world is called Wu Qi. Whoever raised a three thousand people but no one in the world is called Wu Zi." As for Han Xin's classic achievements in leaving Chen Cang, conquering the Three Qins, capturing Wei, defeating Dai, destroying Zhao, surrendering Yan, and attacking Qi were countless, which established his leadership position in the war planners.

Wu Qi was different from them. Wu Qi used troops not to focus on planning. He had almost no results in his life, especially during the Wei State, when he fought with the princes for 76 times, winning 64 times, and the rest were not judged to win, and he seized thousands of miles of land for the Wei State to fight south and north. He had experienced many battles, but he failed to leave any classic tactical style like Sun Wu and Han Xin. It was because he used troops to focus on governance but not on planning. He believed that his absolute military strength could crush all conspiracies and tricks. Even if he was in a crisis, as long as the soldiers were strong enough and survived strong enough, it was enough to break the crisis. The Wei Wushu, who made the countries scared, was the product of Wu Qi's filibuster.

The most classic is the Battle of Yin and Jin. Qin State was strong and had 500,000 soldiers to fight Wei State. Wu Qi directly led 50,000 soldiers who had never been to the battlefield. Without any tactical tactics, he directly crushed the 500,000 Qin army from the front.

Although Wu Qi had poor character and wanted to kill his wife and generals, and was unfilial to his son, his advanced military philosophy of governing the army was a well-deserved genius in military history.

Yang Wanchun worships Wu Qi, and probably has his military philosophy: perhaps he is not as powerful as Wu Qi, and his governance is invincible in any country and any country's army. However, as long as he can understand one or two of Wu Qi's military governance, he should not be underestimated.

Luo Shixin stood up and said, "There are 18,000 soldiers in Anshi City and tens of thousands of stones of food and grass. We all know this. However, we don't know what the real strength of this 18,000... Although I don't think the Goguryeo soldiers trained by Yang Wanchun can be comparable to the Yumeng brigade of our Tang Dynasty, don't forget. We have been expeditioning thousands of miles, and we are not adapting to the land and physical exhaustion, and are affected by various external factors. However, the Goguryeo soldiers in Anshi City have been raising their energy. They protect their families and people and will fight to the death and exert extraordinary strength. We may not be able to take advantage of it. To cooperate with our internal response, I am not without the confidence to take down this Anshi City. But the life of every soldier is precious. I do not have the ability to fight an undead battle, but I will do my best to minimize casualties."

Su Dingfang bowed and said, "It is precisely because the chief general loves soldiers as much as his son and cares about the safety of every soldier. The whole army is willing to fight for the chief general general... Su Dingfang is willing to be the front office and explore Yang Wanchun to see what he learned from our ancestors."

"Okay!" Luo Shixin felt relieved that Su Dingfang had a hundred years ago and said without hesitation: "Okay, wait for the siege equipment to arrive! I will order to use you as the front to try the strength of Anshicheng."

After resting in the city of Anshi for three days, the siege equipment from the rear was delivered one by one, and Luo Shixin also issued an order to attack Anshi for him.

Su Dingfang was a general who was good at fighting and had such high attainments in cavalry wars and siege. Under his command, he used Goguryeo surrendered soldiers to build earthen mountains in the south of the city to force the city, and used rushing carts and cannons to bomb Anshicheng and destroy building buildings.

Faced with the Tang army's offensive, the Goguryeo soldiers in Anshi City responded relatively at almost the same time. They increased their city to block the gaps bombing from the cannon stones due to the tactics of the Tang army's earth-mountain.

Although the Tang army and the defenders of Anshicheng were close contact, they could see from their reaction that the ability of the defenders of Anshicheng was far from comparable to those of Liaodongcheng.

As Luo Shixin expected, Yang Wanchun had the courage to resist the Tang army, which won the battle with one hundred thousand, but had a certain confidence.
