Chapter 40 Tang Army Enters the City

A sharp chirping sounded!

The black shadow fell from the sky and landed steadily on Li Yuncong's arm.

Luo Shixin did not siege Anshi City as he besieged Liaodong, but Yang Wanchun completely blocked Anshi City himself, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, and restricting anyone from contacting outside the city.

The friendship between Luo Shixin and the Sui Dynasty remnants on Changbai Mountain is no longer a secret in Goguryeo. There are also rumors that the reason why Luo Shixin was able to win consecutive battles and was able to send surprise troops to cross the swamp of the Ganlu Mountain was led by the Sui soldiers in Changbai Mountain. He was able to break through Liaodong in a short time and capture and kill Goguryeo's wall Yuan Binzhi because as early as when the Tang army set out to fight, the Sui Dynasty remnants on Changbai Mountain had already sneaked into Liaodong City and assisted the Tang army in capturing Liaodong.

Zuo Tiancheng, the remnant leader of the Sui Dynasty, has now been appointed as a general of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a clear fact that he serves under Luo Shixin.

The remnants of the Sui Dynasty lived in Goguryeo for ten years. They knew the surrounding terrain and traces were almost spread throughout Goguryeo. Yang Wanchun's move was to prevent the spies from infiltrating the city of Tang army, preventing them from contacting each other, and leaking too much information about Duo'an City.

However, he did not prevent the eagle in the sky on this mountain. The eagle is very spiritual, fast and fierce, and is almost afraid of any birds in the sky. Compared with the carrier pigeon, it can deliver information faster, safer and more accurately. Especially the eagle in Li Yuncong's hand is a fine product among the eagle. Except for the familiar, the person who is familiar, it will not hand over the letter under its feet to anyone.

Luo Shixin was able to understand everything about Anshi City, and the connection between Li Yuncong and Zuo Tiancheng relied on the eagle.

Take off the letter tied to the baby eagle claws and then read it carefully.

"It's finally possible to act!" Li Yuncong kept holding his breath. The only hope for their deceased people trapped in Changbai Mountain to survive was to destroy Jingguan and destroy Goguryeo to revenge their comrades who died in Liaodong. Ten years of waiting for ten years has finally ushered in a decisive moment today.

Keep the contents of the letter in mind, take out the fire note and burn it. Through the darkness of night, I came to a big mansion in the west of the city.

This big mansion was established with the establishment of Anshi City and is one of the old antique buildings in the city. When Luo Shixin came to Changbai Mountain for Pingyang's medicine king Sun Simiao, he saved Zuo Tiancheng and gained the trust of their group, and talked about revenge to each other.

Luo Shixin did not hide anything from them and said that revenge could only rely on the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty would not help them revenge in the short term. Regarding the situation of Goguryeo in history, Luo Shixin also gave several suggestions, one of which was to pay more attention to Anshicheng and believed that Anshicheng would become a hurdle for the Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo in the future.

Although Zuo Tiancheng and the others did not know why the small Anshicheng would become a hurdle that could stop the Tang Dynasty, they regarded Luo Shixin as a friend and attached importance to his opinions. They arranged for people to sneak into Anshicheng to settle down.

At that time, Yang Wanchun had not been appointed as the lord of Anshicheng, and there was nothing worth noting about Anshicheng. Among the several important cities in Goguryeo, Anshicheng was the least conspicuous. Because of this, Zuo Tiancheng easily integrated into it and bought real estate to settle in the city.

Shortly afterwards, Gao Jianwu arranged for Yang Wanchun to be the lord of Anshicheng, and supported him to deal with the aristocratic forces of Yuangaisuwen, giving Anshicheng unprecedented support. Anshicheng's status suddenly rose and became an important strategic location for Goguryeo. Yang Wanchun also had a high talent in military affairs. He attached great importance to military governance and military management, and trained all the soldiers in Anshicheng, whether patrol soldiers, city guards, or even constables, to train them into elite soldiers who could fight as long as they were armoured with weapons and armor. During the busy and free farming period, they also organized training the people so that the people could also have the power to fight. It could be used at critical moments.

All this Yang Wanchun did was in the eyeliner of Anshicheng.

Zuo Tiancheng also realized that Luo Shixin's original prophecy had come true and focused on arranging to enter Anshi City. Because Luo Shixin's "foresight" that transcends everything. Even Yang Wanchun was so amazing that he could not imagine that the nail had penetrated his nose many years ago.

It was also because of the preparations in advance that Zuo Tiancheng and the others hid thousands of people in Anshi City without knowing it. A hundred of these hundred people were almost considered old residents of Anshi City.

The house was filled with about fifty or sixty people, most of whom were in their forties. When they saw Li Yuncong, they all stepped forward and asked if they could act.

Li Yuncong responded with a smile, comforting everyone's eagerness, and asked the man who was as dark as charcoal on the side, "Uncle Tie, are you ready for weapons or something?"

Uncle Tie was named Yanyun, a member of Tiemingshan. He was originally a blacksmith. He was recruited by Yang Guang and became a soldier. He was also the first group of insiders to enter Anshi City. In Anshi City, he was doing his old iron thrust and secretly responsible for the maintenance of all weapons and armor. All weapons were stored in his underground arsenal. After being asked, Tieshan patted his chest and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, young clan leader, every weapon has made me sharp, just wait for today."

"Okay!" Li Yuncong looked around and said, "You go back and be prepared, I will have someone take it in batches. Tonight, we will divide our troops into six groups. We must help the Tang army capture this Anshi City."

The people around him did not shout loudly, but they were all nervous and had serious expressions.

It was an uglier moment in the fourth quarter, that is, one o'clock in the morning.

When the Tang army was in an emergency outside the city, chaos broke out in Anshi.

The houses of the people in the four gates of the southeast, west and northeast were lit one after another, and the granary in the city were attacked by chaos.

Everyone was shouting that the Tang army had entered the city, and the terrifying news was slaughtering the city, including men, women, young and old.

Yang Wanchun motivated all the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist the Tang army's intentions. Luo Shixin used the fierce image of the Tang army to intimidate the people of Anshi City. If the Tang army was still outside the city, the people would naturally fight to the death with the Tang army to protect their homes. Now the Tang army has entered the city and is burning, killing, looting and implementing the three-light policy. They have no courage to resist. The entire Anshi City is panicking, and then false news comes from the city. The three gates in the south and north have already been captured by the Tang army, but the East Gate is still there and they are running towards the East Gate.

Under the instigation of those who are interested, the people involuntarily rushed to the east gate.

There was not a person in charge in the city, but things happened too suddenly and too quickly. Even they were not sure if the Tang army had really rushed in, so why should they convince the terrified people to believe him?

In just a short time, thousands of people were terrified to gather at the East Gate. The soldiers guarding the East Gate were frightened and asked the soldiers guarding the East Gate to open the door and let them escape from the city. The number of people continued to rise, and the situation became increasingly difficult to control.

Yang Wanchun was the first to know about the turmoil in Anshicheng.

In this situation, Yang Wanchun didn't understand the problem: the group of people on Changbai Mountain did not lurk in Liaodong and the capital of Goguryeo waiting for the Tang army, but lurked in Anshi City, which he controlled. Before the arrival of the Tang army, he had spent a lot of effort to catch the remnants of the Sui Dynasty lurking in Anshi City, and did not catch a few of them. He only thought that they did not value the small Anshi City. This explanation is reasonable. Although Anshi City was of extraordinary status because of Gao Jianwu's support back then, it was prepared to prevent the Yuan clan from being powerful, and was used for internal struggle rather than resisting the invasion of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of strategic locations, they were far inferior to Liaodong, and even Baiyan City, the Tang army had no reason to focus on Anshi City.

He never expected that the other party would ignore a strategic location like Liaodong and place the focus on Anshicheng.

"Don't panic, there can't be too many enemies in the city. They just want to create chaos and let us get the opportunity to take advantage of it! No matter what the chaos in the city is, they are always inevitable and need to get the support of the Tang army outside the city. As long as we cut off their support from each other, they will not be able to do anything to us."

Under such circumstances, Yang Wanchun still maintained a certain degree of rationality and responded to changes without even the idea of ​​support.

It was not until he learned that the people were rushing to the East City and heard the false news that the Sanmen had fallen, that he launched a targeted action and personally rushed to the East City to soothe people's hearts.

Yang Wanchun had a very high prestige in Anshi City. From the moment he appeared, the people gradually calmed down like they had taken a calming potion.

"My fellow villagers, I, Yang Wanchun, said that the city is there, the city is dead, the city is dead, and I am standing here to talk to you now, which proves one thing. Anshi City is as stable as Taibai Mountain. You have been bewitched and deceived and deceived by Zuo Tiancheng's Sui bandits. They want to use you to deceive the gate of Anshi City so that they can rush into the city, who are ambushing outside the city. Believe me, Yang Wanchun, please go back. I will return your losses tonight after you repel the Tang army."

Under his persuasion, the people all retreated.

Yang Wanchun asked with relief: "Is there any sign of the Tang army?"

The city guard general also wiped his cold sweat and said, "No, there is no shadow of the Tang army."

"It's strange!" Yang Wanchun was full of doubts. He looked at the darkness in the distance, and was also confused. He had no idea what the remnants of the Tang army and the Sui Dynasty were doing.

The offensive in the south of the city was fierce, and Yang Wanchun was patrolling the left and right sides of the east and west of the city without any incident. He was concerned about the battlefield and came to the south of the city again and arranged for some people to arrest people who made trouble and incite the people in the city.

At dawn!

Yang Wanchun suddenly got the news that the city fell to the east. The Tang army inexplicably appeared in the city and the Tang army outside the city forcibly captured the city gate and had already entered the city...
