Gao Jianye was actually aware of his intentions. He was indeed difficult to deal with. Jin Sanshun nodded obediently and said, "Yes, I will obey Master Gao's instructions."

Jin Sanshun should do what he should do as a city lord, and how well he does it is up to him.

In fact, he is not sure now, because he has not seen how many people from the Tang Dynasty's army have come, what level of fighting is going on, and whether he wants to open the city gate and surrender. These all require follow-up observation. Now Jin Sanshun only needs to

Do what Gao Jianye tells you well and do the rest later.

The sudden generosity to Jin Wu two days ago was actually just a way for him to win over the heart of the only available person around him. However, Jin Sanshun didn't know that Jin Wu was not with him at all, and Jin Wu was already preparing to do something evil.

Wu is just because he didn't understand Jin Sanshun's routine.

The entire Anshi City has entered a state of war. Gao Jianye's method of clearing out the surrounding areas and defending the city can be said to be a standard method of defending the city in this era, but it can handle most siege battles.

Except for the Tang Dynasty

The 80,000-strong army gathered together and arrived at the foot of Anshi City in a mighty manner. According to the practice of modern siege warfare, the army did not set up camp, but directly buried the pot and cooked rice in preparation for the war.

Gao Jianye, the defender of the city, couldn't understand what the Tang army was doing. What was going on here in the Tang Dynasty?

Instead of setting up camp, they just buried pots and cooked rice. They didn't see any large siege equipment. Is this just a walk to show off their power?

The Tang Dynasty was not as good as the Sui Emperor Yang Guang. At least he came with troops and knew the basic process of siege.

Jin Sanshun, who was squatting on the city wall, was also trembling in his heart: The Tang army really only came for a round and left without setting up camp. Fortunately, he didn't make any big moves, otherwise what if the Tang army left without sending an arrow?

Well, I must not be cut off by Gao Jianye.

Jin Sanshun thought for a while and asked Gao Jianye: "General Gao, don't you want to bring those slaves over and behead them to show to the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

Gao Jianye thought for a while and finally shook his head and refused: "The Tang Dynasty sent the army here. I guess they heard that those slaves were still alive and came to show it to the world. If we kill them, then the generals of the Tang army will

I will definitely not be able to explain it when I go back. What if I get angry and attack the city?"

Jin Sanshun pointed to his city wall: "I am safe in the city. The city is strong and I am not afraid of them attacking."

Gao Jianye objected: "No, the siege cannot be careless. Fighting opportunities are constantly changing at any time. I don't intend to provoke the Tang army to take this risk."

"yes"

Seeing that Gao Jianye disagreed with his opinion, Jin Sanshun stopped talking. Anyway, it was okay. These people could still be retained to trade with Cui Si. It was true that Datang came to attack. Fortunately, he believed it at the time.

Cui Si sent the letters to Pu Yisheng and Gao Xiaojian.

The army of the Tang Dynasty has really come, and my credit will not be lost. When the time comes, the rewards from both sides will definitely add up to a lot. It's so exciting.

If the Tang army really invades, he can directly lead those people to surrender, and he can also get general rewards, which is a pleasure.

Very good at calculating abacus

However, the situation in the Tang Dynasty was completely out of their control. Gan Ning, Li Ji, Bai Yujing, and Zhang Bao squatted in the temporary tent and began to discuss how to quickly capture Anshi City.

What Li Ji meant was: "I think we should follow the method of surrounding three and one. The three city gates should be bombarded with small steel cannons at the same time to give them a chance to escape, and then 10,000 cavalry should be left as a mobile to hunt down those who escape."

stick."

Gan Ning held the opposite opinion: "I think it is better to attack a city gate alone. It is best to concentrate our superior forces and attack directly in one go, killing all the enemies. Anyway, there are no people of Tang Dynasty in Anshi City."

Li Ji thought for a while and shook his head: "We have pure cavalry here, which is not conducive to attacking the city. If we are alone, we can only rely on your navy."

Gan Ning bared his teeth: "The East China Sea Fleet has received special land warfare training, so it's nothing to be afraid of."

Li Ji pointed outside: "But the navy in the Bohai Sea is mostly trained in water warfare. Although land warfare is not bad, our attack on Anshi City this time is too risky to be careless."

Gan Ning couldn't help but frown. According to the training intensity and scale, the Tang Navy stationed in the Bohai Sea was indeed inferior to the East China Sea Fleet. Gan Ning rubbed his chin, thought for a moment and pointed outside Anshi City: "The Bohai Navy is still okay.

Yes, leave the siege battle to us. It will be no problem for them to follow us."

Li Ji nodded: "Good"

The two reached an agreement and turned to ask Zhang Bao: "What do you think, Master?"

Zhang Bao spread his hands: "Your Majesty has ordered that religion does not participate in military affairs and politics. I am just here to pray for the soldiers."

"Oh well"

Li Ji was very fond of Zhang Bao's resolute heart. As a general in Paipai, the most taboo thing was for outsiders to come up with bad ideas, and he was still a close confidant of the emperor despite being a layman.

Li Ji didn't know, but Zhang Bao actually led troops and fought in battles back then, but he died a little early later. His abilities were average, but he wasn't a layman either.

Bai Yujing, who had been listening on the sidelines, saw that Li Ji was about to make a decision and said: "I don't think we need to surround ourselves with anything. Counting the cavalry of our friends in the East China Sea Fleet and Bohai Sea Navy, there are already more than 40,000, and each day

Ten thousand cavalrymen roamed around each city gate to block the enemy's retreat, concentrated all the small steel cannons at one city gate, and directly destroyed all the city gates. The light cavalry assault infantry covered them up and captured Anshi City before the heavy snow fell."

Li Ji and Gan Ning were stunned. This idea seemed to be okay. The cavalry itself was not good at attacking cities. Li Ji had actually considered this idea, but he did not dare to take risks in his position. If it failed, Li Ji could not bear the responsibility.

.

Bai Yujing suddenly proposed, and Gan Ning expressed no objection to this: "This is a good idea. Let's do it like this. Our East China Sea Fleet has heavy armor to take charge of the main attack, and the Bohai Sea Navy will cover the rear. If the opponent blocks too much after breaking the city,

, the cavalry may not play a very good role."

"Then just use small steel cannons to blast them all the way. Such a dense group of stick soldiers will be destroyed in one shot. In addition, the other party has never seen the true appearance of small steel cannons. They probably followed His Majesty and thought so when he invaded Chang'an City.

It’s a punishment from heaven. If the morale of the army is unstable, it may even be completely defeated.”

Bai Yujing proposed a new method. Li Ji and Gan Ning's eyes lit up. Why didn't they think of it?

"This method lasts seconds"

"Just do what the big girl said."

Zhang Bao also nodded in approval: "General Bai is worthy of being the leader of 108 Stars, with excellent intelligence and military skills."

Bai Yujing replied modestly: "You guys are so flattering, then prepare to capture Anshi City today."
