"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.
To be continued...
