Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Then the second and third rounds of stones were thrown over one after another, and the scattered gravel covered the entire wall.

After a moment's silence, the defenders of Anshi City took action when they saw that no more boulders were falling on them.

The archers on the city wall continued to pull the crossbows and counterattacked in the direction of the Tang army below the city.

"Pooh!"

Yang Wanchun, who was hiding in the corner, spat out the gravel at the corner of his mouth.

He said solemnly: "True or false, there is an expert in the Tang army!"

Gao Huizhen looked grim and said, "General Yang, how should we respond?"

Now the initiative of whether to attack or not is entirely in the hands of the Tang army. They have no other choice but to passively defend.

Yang Wanchun said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether the Tang army attacks tonight or not, leave 5000 soldiers on the city wall to defend all night, and change positions every two hours."

"Once you see the Tang army begin to attack the city head-on, immediately beat the drum to sound the alarm."

"The rest of the people go back and rest. Instruct the soldiers to keep their armor on and their weapons in their hands!"

There are 5000 people defending the city wall. Even if they just stand there and let the Tang army kill them, it will take at least half a quarter of an hour.

"As ordered!"

A group of generals took their soldiers back to rest.

After Yang Wanchun gave some instructions to the veteran general Gao Minxing, he and Gao Huizhen walked down the city wall with anger on their faces.

In the second half of the night, the Tang army's catapults fired two more rounds, but the defenders of Anshi City, who were used to it, were no longer surprised.

They just symbolically pulled up their crossbows to fight back.

There was silence for two hours.

Just as day broke, a scream was heard.

"The Tang army is attacking!"

The old veteran Gao Minxing, who was dozing off in the corner, jumped up and quickly lay down on the parapet to look down.

I saw that the Tang army under the city had formed a battle array and charged forward at some point, and the annoying catapults started moving again.

A loud shout came from the battlement: "Beat the drum quickly to sound the alarm!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Soon, dense drumbeats began to sound.

Inside Anshi City, countless soldiers began to run frantically towards the south city wall.

"Swish swish~"

Huge rocks fell on the city walls and inside the city, and many unlucky people were hit by the rocks and died instantly.

Outside the south city wall.

Under the protection of shield soldiers, tens of thousands of Tang army archers began to comprehensively suppress the defenders on the city wall.

Behind the earth hill.

Hou Junji, who was fully armored, shouted loudly: "Chang He, the consumption of arrows in this battle does not count. As long as the soldiers still have strength, shoot arrows at the city wall!"

"We must protect our vanguard soldiers as they break into the city!"

Chang He, the deputy general manager of Canghai Dao who was in charge of commanding the archers, hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Hou Junji.

"promise!"

After saying that, he quickly ran towards the archer positions on both sides.

Hou Junji glanced at Li Ji and Zhang Liang who were standing on the other side of the Pianling River, and the three military commanders nodded at a distance.

Then Hou Junji turned around and shouted to the city-breaking team standing by.

"Siege!"

After the order to attack was given, a large group of soldiers pushed the battering ram and quickly rushed up the earthen hill under the cover of shield soldiers and archers.

The huge logs placed on the battering ram slammed heavily into the city wall.

"Oh!"

There was a loud noise from the makeshift city wall, and many stone slabs and bricks were instantly shifted.

The soldiers pushed the battering ram back more than ten steps, then gathered strength and accelerated forward.

"Oh!"

Under the impact of the huge logs, the city wall was instantly dented.

Veteran General Gao Minxing shouted: "All archers, shoot at the Tang army crashing into the city wall below!"

The archers in Anshi City quickly changed direction and shot at the Tang army pushing the battering ram.

Chang He saw that the siege was blocked, and he quickly ordered: "Everyone concentrate on shooting in the direction of breaking the city, suppress the enemy and prevent them from showing their heads!"

Then the Tang army's archers also changed the direction of their shooting, and a dense rain of arrows instantly fell on the city walls on both sides of the earthen hill.

"what!"

Under the coverage of this saturated rain of arrows, many archers from Anshi City who showed their heads to shoot arrows had several arrows stuck in their heads, and all kinds of screams were heard instantly.

The soldiers responsible for breaking the city seized this opportunity and quickly pushed the battering ram towards the concave part of the city wall.

Hou Junji saw that the city wall was about to collapse, so he gave a deep warning to Su Dingfang who was standing beside him.

"General Su, once the battering ram breaks through the city wall, you will lead the vanguard to follow immediately!"

"The purpose of this battle is to fight your way out and allow the army behind you to charge into the city!"

"If the enemy's resistance is too fierce, you can lead your troops to withdraw according to the situation!"

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the central army, Su Dingfang was the leader of this temporary vanguard of death squads.

He replied solemnly: "As you command!"

More than 300 first-line warriors gathered on the halfway point of the hill, ready to charge.

After a cup of tea.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from above the hill.

"Boom!"

Then came the roar of the soldiers responsible for breaking the city.

"The wall has been breached!"

This roar was like an order to attack.

Su Dingfang shouted: "Attack!"

More than 300 first-line warriors jumped up at the same time, fearlessly charging up the hill with their weapons raised.

Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui were the fastest. In just a few breaths, they had reached the collapsed entrance of the city wall.

The soldiers who pushed the battering ram to break through the city slid down the earth slopes on both sides as soon as the city wall collapsed, leaving enough space for the first soldiers to climb up.

Now, more than 300 soldiers who had climbed the front lines were facing the defenders of Anshi City who had rushed over to defend the city.

"Dang~"

"Oh!"

Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui, one on the left and one on the right, tore through the enemy troops blocking their way, and jumped from a high place onto the crowd of enemy troops below by stepping on the wall bricks.

Gao Minxing, an old general from Anshi City, was so shocked when he saw two Tang army generals jumping down from above.

Is General Tang so brave?

Two people dare to jump down?

While Gao Minxing was stunned, two fierce generals, Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai, had already swept away all the surrounding soldiers.

At this time, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanbei, Wang Jun'e, Cao Sanliang, Ma Wenju and others also came down from the city wall shouting.

Damn it!

Are these Tang generals all crazy?

When Gao Minxing saw a group of Tang generals as the first to die, he shouted loudly.

"Brothers, if you kill a Tang general, you will be rewarded 100 gold coins and promoted three levels!"

Upon hearing such a huge reward, the defenders of Anshi City went crazy.

"Kill!"

They rushed towards the Tang army one after another.

After dozens of breaths, Zhishishili, Qibi Heli, Ashina Mishe, Cheng Huailiang, Yuchi Huan and 300 black armor soldiers jumped off the wall one after another.

Under their powerful charge, the defenders of Anshi City on the city wall were instantly pushed back dozens of steps.

outside the city.

Li Ji, who commanded tens of thousands of troops, saw that the vanguard of the death squad had succeeded, so he drew his sword and shouted.

"The whole army attacks the city!"

"After conquering the city, all the gold and silver in the city will be rewarded to those who have made contributions!"

Under the personal leadership of Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui, tens of thousands of Tang troops rushed into Anshi city in an instant like a raging torrent.
