Chapter 148 Break the city! (Weekend(1/2)
Li Guang bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and he shot and killed the Goguryeo soldiers who appeared in the gap. The sharpshooters of the Shesheng Battalion carried their quivers and followed General Li Guang to kill the Goguryeo soldiers who tried to seize Tushan.
Hua Mulan held a red dragon flag in both hands and stuck it on the mountain, summoning more Tang troops, and the Han troops gathered here!
Under the cover of the Shesheng Battalion, Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Battalion quickly climbed up to seize the commanding heights and set up infantry crossbows!
"Occupy the territory at all costs!"
The lord of Anshi City handed over the command of the city wall to his deputy general and personally led a group of archers and infantry to seize the mountain.
Faced with the sudden change in the situation, the lords of Koryo were at a loss and looked towards the leader of the alliance, Lee Min-cheol.
"Yi Guan, you lead the martial arts squad and assist the city lord in fighting for Tushan!"
After repeated brutal battles to defend the city, Lee Min-cheol gradually calmed down and realized the importance of Tushan to the defenders, so he dispatched Yi Gwan, a historical military general of the Goryeo Kingdom, and Yi Gwan's special military squad.
The Bye Wu Ban is a special unit set up by the Goryeo Kingdom to deal with the fierce Jurchens, including divine cavalry, divine steps, jumpers, stem bows, fine crossbows, fire and other troops. Under the leadership of Yi Guan, they went to support Yang Wanchun.
Xia Cheng's army responded quickly and took the lead in occupying the ruins formed by the collapse of the mountain.
Xiliu Camp, which was good at defense, was in the front, while Li Guang's Shesheng Camp was in the back, using the terrain to hold on.
The defenders of Anshi City have realized the importance of fighting for the mountain. One team after another, Goguryeo soldiers climbed up, and the archers fired thousands of arrows!
The soldiers of Xiliu Camp held up their shields to block the rain of arrows from the defenders of Anshi City.
Zhou Yafu hid behind the rocks and commanded, but the Anshi city defenders launched a fierce attack with arrows, and more than a dozen Xiliu camp soldiers were killed.
Li Guang held a big bow and kept shooting sharp arrows. The Anshi city defenders who were hit by the arrows rolled down. Yang Wanchun, who was carrying a quiver, saw that the soldiers could not attack by force, so he had to go into battle himself.
"Lord City Lord, there is a team of sharpshooters occupying the mountain, and one of them shot and killed our general!"
"marksman?"
Yang Wanchun commanded the Goguryeo infantry to risk their lives to seize Tushan, and led a team of Goguryeo sharpshooters to observe.
He saw a general on the other side holding a big bow and using sharp arrows that could easily penetrate the armor of Goguryeo soldiers, and his eyes gradually became serious.
He is also a hero of the archery system and can roughly judge Li Guang's archery level.
Li Guang's archery skills were even better than his.
But there is no chance of winning.
"There is no fairness in the fight between two armies."
Yang Wanchun sent a group of archers to the right to attract the attention of the Shesheng Battalion, then quietly took out an armor-piercing arrow from the quiver and placed it on the long bow.
Li Guang was successfully attracted by the Goguryeo sharpshooter, and he bent his bow and shot a Goguryeo sharpshooter.
The long bow was tense, and Li Guang suddenly felt a sense of crisis and quickly fell forward!
The arrows were like meteors. An armor-piercing arrow pierced Li Guang's shoulder armor and hit Li Guang's shoulder!
Seeing that he failed to kill Li Guang, Yang Wanchun immediately bent his bow and prepared to shoot the second arrow.
An arrow was shot, but Yang Wanchun avoided it and the sharp arrow sank directly into the soil!
Hua Mulan took down the second arrow and covered Li Guang's retreat.
"I didn't expect they had a second marksman."
Yang Wanchun was hiding behind the clod of earth, holding a long bow in his hand. He was almost shot by Hua Mulan just now. In the past, Chu Tian had given Hua Mulan a skill book "A Hundred Steps Through the Yang". At this time, Hua Mulan's archery skills came into play.
.
Two generals who used bows and arrows took advantage of the terrain to shoot sharp arrows one after another, but they were never able to hit each other.
Although the Shesheng battalion was small in number, it suppressed the Goguryeo archers. The opponent's infantry lacked archer cover and had difficulty attacking Tushan.
"Gong Gong, the fine crossbow team assists!"
The famous Goryeo general Yi Guan led two elite squads to support Yang Wanchun. These two squads were fifth-level troops and could barely compete with the Shesheng Battalion.
More than a thousand soldiers in Xia City faced the siege of thousands of defenders at the same time.
One by one, the soldiers were killed, and Hua Mulan held back the city lord of Anshi City and tried to shoot him.
"What a bad luck..."
Li Guang originally had the ability to kill Yang Wanchun, but he was shot in the shoulder by Yang Wanchun's cold arrow and was unable to draw his bow, so he could only command the Shesheng Battalion to fight.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou, the generals of Mingguan, came galloping with their cavalry. The cavalry dismounted and fought on foot to assist Zhou Yafu and Li Guang in guarding Tushan.
Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Hua Mulan concentrated on confronting Yang Wanchun and determined to kill Yang Wanchun.
If Yang Wanchun, the defender, can be successfully shot, without Yang Wanchun's bonus, Anshi City may not be indestructible, and the military morale will be shaken, and other defenders may not be able to hold on.
Yang Wanchun was extremely anxious. Not only did he have to guard against Hua Mulan, he also had to concentrate on commanding his troops.
Hua Mulan did not have this worry, because Zhou Yafu, Li Guang and other generals were in charge of the overall situation.
Yang Wanchun was leaning against the earth wall when suddenly a sharp arrow penetrated the earth and raised up sand and dust!
A small team from the Tang Army arrived. A small soldier in white held a strong bow in his hand. The arrow he just shot almost killed Yang Wanchun!
This is the third general Yang Wanchun has encountered who uses a longbow!
"Why do they have so many sharpshooters!"
Yang Wanchun was shocked.
He was originally confident in his archery skills, but he encountered three enemy generals who were good at using bows and arrows one after another, and he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Whether it was Li Guang, Hua Mulan, or the white-clothed soldiers who appeared, their archery skills were extremely superb, especially the heavy arrows used by Xue Rengui, which made Yang Wanchun who was hiding behind the clods feel threatened.
Xue Rengui's Tang army team tried to encircle Yang Wanchun in a roundabout way. Yang Wanchun realized the danger and still tried to fight for Tushan. If the Tang army was allowed to occupy Tushan, Anshi City would not escape the fate of falling.
Soldiers from both sides fought in Tushan, resulting in hundreds of casualties.
Xue Rengui seemed determined to shoot the lord of Anshi City who was causing a headache to the Tang army, and kept approaching.
Yang Wanchun's attention was attracted by Xue Rengui, and he moved the command location under the protection of his own soldiers.
But he forgot that there was Hua Mulan. Hua Mulan had not given up on killing Yang Wanchun and gaining military exploits for her lord...
"Ding! Your subordinate Hua Mulan shot and wounded Yang Wanchun, the lord of Anshi City, and received 2,000 military merit points."
Chu Tian, who was observing the battlefield from behind, unexpectedly received a military honor.
The Second Army's more than 20,000 troops were all pressed forward. The Tang Army where Xue Rengui was located also participated in the battle for Tushan. Soon Tushan basically fell under the control of the Tang Army and the Han Army.
"Your Majesty, half of Anshi City has been captured."
When Changsun Wuji saw that Tushan was occupied by the Tang army, he knew that there was a high probability that the city would be captured.
"Which tribe was the first to react and rob Tushan? After capturing Anshi City, I will have a reward."
Li Shimin saw that the fortified city of Anshi was at his fingertips, and his tense expression finally relaxed.
A large number of Tang troops rushed into the city along the collapsed earth mountain. Coupled with the pressure exerted by the Tang troops who used ladders to climb the city wall, the defenders of Anshi City were exhausted.
In particular, the lord of Anshi City was shot by Hua Mulan and was unable to take charge of the defense. The Tang army launched a massive attack!
Rockets rose all over the sky, and Anshi City turned into a sea of fire.
The Tang army was resentful of the city that blocked the power of Heaven and set fire to it wantonly.
The sea of fire intensified the difficulty of defense. Goguryeo and the Goryeo allied forces retreated into the alley, surrounded by mountains, with nowhere to escape.
"The Tang army is so ferocious, how should we defend it?"
"In a street fight with the Tang army, we will definitely lose!"
"Yang Wanchun has been shot by the opponent's sharpshooter. Without his bonus and command, we will all become prisoners of the opponent!"
The Goryeo lords gathered together. They still had tens of thousands of Goryeo soldiers in their hands, but they lost the courage to fight in the streets.
If there is a strong city wall defense, they dare to resist the Tang army. The city wall brings a high defense bonus to their soldiers, and there are a large number of fortifications that can be used. The Tang army's cavalry cannot exert any advantage.
However, the city wall was breached by the Tang army, and disaster awaited them.
"Ding! Anshi City is about to be lost. The success rate of defending the city is less than 5%. Please let the lords and players of Koryo choose whether to continue fighting. If the city is successfully defended, the military merits obtained will be increased tenfold."
Before the fall of Anshi City, the lords of Koryo were given the opportunity to leave the battlefield.
"Damn it, I choose to leave Anshi City!"
"I will never participate in the national war with Donghan District again!"
The lords of Koryo unanimously chose to leave the battlefield.
The success rate of defending the city is less than 5%. It is not cost-effective to use this probability to gain ten times the military merit.
The ferocious infantry of the Tang Army rushed into the city through the gap. The Tang Army outside the city climbed up the ladders, blossomed on all sides, and occupied the city wall!
Tang army general Xue Wanche led hundreds of soldiers to the city gate to remove antlers and sword carts.
The cavalry of the Tang Army who were ready to go outside the city waved their cold Tang knives and drove straight in, their iron hooves rolling, unstoppable!
"The city was actually broken..."
Chu Tian saw the cavalry of the Tang Army entering the city and knew that it was impossible for the defenders of Anshi City to make a comeback. The victory of the National War had been decided.
To be continued...
