"Woo——"

The low horn sounded, rich, melodious, shaking the world.

A large number of archers marched in neat steps to the north and west gates of Jian'an City. There were five thousand people on each side, with their bows and arrows drawn, and they stared at the city wall eagerly.

A general shouted loudly: "Projection, target city wall, prepare -"

"put!"

At the command, a large number of arrows soared into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and flew high into the sky. After the kinetic energy weakened, they fell downwards and fell on the city wall like rain. The defenders on the city wall raised their shields to cover them, but there were always places.

It was unstoppable, the arrow rain was too dense.

"ah--"

A series of screams sounded out, one after another, heart-rending, and making people's scalp numb.

Then came the second round and the third round.

No one could look out of the city under such a dense rain of arrows, let alone fight back. Those who survived huddled together to reduce the area of ​​​​the arrows, and used their shields to protect them. They saw the people around them wailing miserably after being hit by arrows.

It looked like many people collapsed, yelled and rushed out, trying to leave, but were shot down by arrows raining down from the sky.

The battle was extremely brutal in an instant.

The arrow rain did not stop, one after another, suppressing the survivors on the city wall, unable to fight back.

At this time, Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi each led a thousand men and rushed over with the ladders they had prepared. They set them up. They took the lead and held a shield just in case. They climbed up quickly. The archers were worried about shooting.

After hitting one of his own, the arrow did not stop, but extended towards the city.

There were not many people on the city wall. When they saw the arrows extending, they woke up amidst the shouts of the officers. They all looked over and saw that their opponents were already climbing the city wall. They were shocked and picked up their bows and arrows to kill them. Some of them were holding long guns.

To stab, to see with a knife, or even to push the ladder.

The battle to this moment has become even more bloody and cruel. No one can take advantage of the situation. What matters is bravery and decisiveness.

Cheng Chuliang blocked two arrows with his shield, climbed up quickly, saw a spear coming towards him, knocked it away with his shield, rushed up quickly, and stabbed the opponent with a horse, and stabbed two more people in succession. He took the opportunity to climb up the wall, and saw a man shooting with a bow.

Come on, quickly raise your shield to block it.

"Duh!"

The feathered arrow hit the shield, and the tail of the arrow buzzed and trembled, extremely fierce.

Without a shield, Cheng Chuliang would definitely die this time. A surge of anger rushed to the top of his head, and he climbed up the city wall. Ma Shu swept through the entire army and killed several enemies who came up. He then counterattacked and slashed to death again.

Several people roared and rushed forward like crazy lions.

The nearby enemies did not care about the people climbing the ladder, and slashed at them one after another with their swords, trying to stop Cheng Chuliang, but Cheng Chuliang's fighting ability was very good, and he could kill the anxious people in the blink of an eye. No one could stop him.

The soldiers on the ladder took the opportunity to swarm up.

With the help of his comrades, Cheng Chuliang's combat effectiveness greatly increased, and he shouted: "Kill from behind!"

"Obey the order!" The soldiers turned their sabers and fought towards the other side.

Cheng Chuliang fought alone in one direction. He was so excited that he shouted: "Yu Chi Baoqi!"

"Mourning, I have already come to kill you." Yuchi Baoqi's roar came from another city wall, unwilling to be outdone.

"Hahaha, kill!" Cheng Chuliang roared angrily, like a thunder explosion, causing the enemies in front to retreat in shock.

Outside the city, Duke An Guo was overjoyed when he saw this scene. He decisively sent an order for the archers to stop shooting, mount their horses and assemble, waiting for the city gate to open before entering the city.

Next to him, Li Junxian observed the battle on the city wall and said with emotion: "The number of enemy troops is really small, and the two generals are also extremely brave. It is not a problem to capture Jian'an. Congratulations to Duke An."

"Same joy, same joy, we are all left-wing troops." Zhi lost his thoughts and said with a smile.

"That's right, you and I are both under the command of the marshal on the left, regardless of each other. The army has come from a long way, and we are exhausted. We urgently need to take a good rest and refresh ourselves. I will leave the rest of the battle to me." Li Junxian said with a smile.

.

Zhi lost his mind and understood the idea, and said with a smile: "After entering the city, you and the army just have a good meal and a good rest. Leave all the affairs to me. You are familiar with the road, so don't worry. However, soldiers are valuable and quick, and the army must set off after dinner, overnight.

Is it possible to do it if we are on our way?”

"Look down on me?" Li Junxian suddenly became unhappy.

When An Guogong saw the city gate opened and the soldiers who had been waiting for orders rushed in, he said excitedly without bothering to explain: "Open the city gate, rush in, and kill -"

"kill!"

Countless soldiers around him also roared excitedly and rushed forward on their horses.

Li Junxian did not rush, but looked at the city with emotion: "The fighting power is really beyond expectations. How many victories can this fierce warrior be fed? It seems that he is here, and the country has talented people. I wonder how my son will do?"

"As he said this, he looked to the east, looking forward to making great achievements but also worried about his safety.

An Guogong rushed into the city gate with his men. When he saw Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi who came up excitedly, he praised: "The two generals are unparalleled in their bravery. They attacked the city wall at the same time without distinguishing each other. There will be a lot of fighting behind them. Let's do it next time."

It won’t be too late, General Cheng, lead a thousand men to seize the other city gates, close them and hold them for me.”

"Follow the order." Cheng Chuliang clasped his fists and hurried away with the others.

"Young General Yuchi, take your men to seize the barracks and granary quickly to prevent them from burning down!"

"Obey the order!" Yuchi Baoqi also rushed forward with his army.

"The others will follow me and rush into the city guard's office." Anguo Gong shouted, and he rushed forward with high spirits. He captured a hundred people and asked them a few questions, then rushed towards the city guard's office.

When the officials of the city guard office learned that the city gate had been lost, they were already in a panic. Under the leadership of the prefect, they went out to wait. When they saw An Guogong coming, they packed their luggage with great respect. They stepped forward, held the roster in their hands and said: "Jian'an, the official

The prefect Gao Yishan has met the general and is willing to surrender." As he spoke, he raised the roster above his head.

The roster records the information of the people, and sealing the roster represents the sealing of Jian'an City.

Duke An Guo knew the rules and signaled a lieutenant beside him to come forward and take the order. He said: "I understand the current affairs. In this case, the prefect will leave the questions while the others will quickly go to the streets to appease the people and avoid misunderstandings that may lead to murder."

Now that Jian'an has been captured, everything in the city belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need to kill them again.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness!" Gao Yishan, the governor, expressed his gratitude and said it to everyone in Goguryeo. Everyone nodded, saluted Duke An, and left.

An Guogong walked into the city guard's house and sat down at the head of the office. Gao Yishan followed him in and waited below. His face was a little complicated. An Guogong asked: "Gao belongs to the royal family. If you surrender to the Tang Dynasty, the consequences will be very serious."

Bar?"

"Go back to the general and ask. I'm just a side house, a concubine. However, once the news gets back, it will be very serious indeed. But I don't want to die, and I will defend the city until the last moment. I have been loyal to the court. I ask the general to be merciful and spare my life."

Gao Yishan said truthfully.

"Is there still food in the city?" Duke An asked.

"There are still about five thousand stones left."

"What about the various weapons, money, and status of the defenders?"

Gao Yishan said truthfully: "There are about a thousand swords and guns, about ten thousand feather arrows, and some shields and armors. They are all leftovers. Well, last time the king had them all taken away, and there were only a thousand defenders in the city.

The people are not elite, and the city guard's treasury has less than 10,000 guan."

When An Guogong heard that it was indeed the case, he was full of expectations and confidence in the battle that followed. He asked some more about the situation. School captains came to report one after another. All other city gates were captured, as well as the barracks, granaries and other warehouses. He was completely relieved and sent the order.

The troops immediately set fire to cook.

After Jian'an is captured, it's time for Shicheng.

Spreading out the map and looking at the location of Shicheng, An Guogong's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

…

In a dense forest outside Dandong City.

Li Yixie stared at the city ahead with a pair of blood-red eyes. He had been marching day and night for the past few days. The troops were exhausted and exhausted, but no one complained. He was even very excited because he had captured the city and captured the King of Goguryeo alive.

His contribution is so great that it can make people risk their lives.

A scout hurried over, clasped his fists and said, "General, the King of Goguryeo and his entourage are less than a mile away from the city. If someone goes up first to negotiate, the city gate may be opened."

When the people around him heard this, they became more and more excited and looked at Li Yixie.

However, Li Yixie looked worriedly at the large army resting in the woods behind him. There were only 3,000 people, but there were still about 3,000 with the King of Goguryeo. They were walking too fast, and many people fell behind and were killed by Li Yixie's men. There were also

Many people starved to death and fled. The King of Goguryeo's troops did not bring any food, so they relied on wild vegetables, wild fruits and hunting to survive. Otherwise, if there were more troops, this battle would not be easy to fight.

But you have to fight!

After finally following here, it was impossible to give up the opportunity. Li Yixie fixed his gaze, summoned the officers above the captain, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows the importance of this battle. I will not go into details. I will only emphasize one point. There is no room for error.

Do you have any comments?"

"Follow the order!" Everyone said one after another, their eyes were extremely firm, and they chased all the way here. If we give up at this time, wouldn't everyone's hard work be in vain?

"Very good, your team will quickly return to the original route and inform the main army that we are preparing to attack the city. Even if we fight to the last man, we will ensure that the city gate is in hand and wait for the army to arrive. Go ahead." Li Yixie looked at the scouts.

The other party bowed solemnly and left in a hurry.

"Come on, let's total it up." Li Yixie squatted down, took out three stones and placed them on the ground, while saying: "There are three thousand of us. When we enter the city, I, the general, will lead a thousand people to hold the front. You will arrive later and hold the head."

Stay on the two wings, form a zigzag defense, guard the city gate, and wait for the army."

Everyone nodded. Concentrating their forces to defend the city gate and wait for reinforcements was a helpless move and the only option. If they attacked and entered the city, the enemy would take the opportunity to close the city gate and everyone would be trapped in the city.

Li Yixie continued: "The sword and shield soldiers are in the front, the spearmen are in the middle, and the archers are behind. If the enemy infantry comes up, the sword and shield soldiers are responsible for defense, the spearmen are responsible for assassinating from behind, and the archers are responsible for clearing the enemy on the city wall. Remember, don't kill
