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!"
