Chapter 3353: Bloody Battle of Attack and Defense
"The city wall defense line has been breached, and Anhe Palace can no longer be defended. Act according to the plan."
Yuan Nanjian looked calm, not at all worried or panicked about the city wall defenses being breached, but rather slightly excited.
Finally reached this point...
Gao Yanwu looked resolute, nodded and said: "I will obey your orders!"
After saying this, he knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "The final general will be able to die for Da Molizhi and the Second Young Master, and for Goguryeo. He will die a worthy death!"
Yuan Nanjian was touched in his heart. He took a step forward, held Gao Yanwu's shoulders with both hands, and said with a solemn expression: "Perhaps today, you and I will both die tragically in the rebel army, leaving no whole body. But remember, our blood will not Bailiu, the descendants of Goguryeo will always remember our sacrifice today! Our souls will be attached to the high flying royal flag and remain immortal!”
Gao Yanwu's eyes were filled with enthusiasm, and he said loudly: "If you stick to your wishes, there is no need to fear death!"
Yuan Nanjian nodded in approval, patted his shoulder heavily, and said: "Go ahead, I think you and I will be able to meet under the spring soon and get drunk together!"
"Here!"
Gao Yanwu responded loudly, stood up, turned around decisively, and strode away.
The sound of melee outside was getting closer and closer. Yuan Nanjian put his cloak on his body and hung his sword on his waist. He walked out of the room and walked quickly towards the depths of Anhe Palace under the guard of his own soldiers.
The ravines and mountains are hidden in the vast snow. Under the cover of night, they are as deep as the extremity...
……
Gao Yanwu led his troops to the front. The Goguryeo army, whose city wall defenses had been breached, was already in disarray and was retreating steadily under the impact of the fierce Tang army. Gao Yanwu made a prompt decision and led his troops to join the battle group. The addition of fresh troops was able to withstand the Tang army's offensive.
Anhak Palace was the royal palace of the King of Goguryeo. Although it has been abandoned for many years and has been renovated several times, it still has the same outline as when it was built. The palaces in the palace are all connected by low walls. The terrain is low on the outside and high on the inside. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even in those days, in order to prevent foreign enemies from breaking through the city wall, they could retreat step by step and resist stubbornly, waiting for reinforcements.
At this moment, Gao Yanwu relied on the favorable geographical location and fought while retreating, so that the fierce offensive of the Tang army was gradually defused and they fell into a bitter battle.
Xue Wanche, who had already followed his soldiers to the city wall, saw the slow progress and couldn't help but feel anxious.
Although Anhe Palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with all kinds of lanes and low walls emerging one after another, it is difficult to take advantage of the military strength. However, they have been attacking for two hours now, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, but they have only advanced more than a hundred feet, which is really not ideal.
His Majesty will be on the front line in person tomorrow morning. Will he not be able to capture even a mere Anhe Palace by then?
That would be really embarrassing and embarrassing...
Gritting his teeth, Xue Wanche ordered: "Gather all the thunderbolts among the generals and hold nothing back. Anhe Palace must be captured tonight!"
Faced with this strategy of relying on the alleyways and low walls to defend and counterattack layer by layer, Zhentian Lei is the best weapon to break the situation.
The deputy general beside him quickly reminded: "Yesterday when the baggage was distributed, Sima of the army already said that the sea was severely ice-covered, making it difficult for the navy to transport, and the production of Zhentianlei in Chang'an was no longer available, so this is the tenth day. What if we use up the last batch of thunderbolts in Anhe Palace and storm the Seven Star Gate in the future, even break into the city and start a street fight? "
It has to be said that the emergence of a battlefield weapon will not only improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but also make the army subtly dependent on it to some extent.
Relying on the power of gunpowder and thunder, the Tang army was invincible, but they had long forgotten that when there were no thunder, they were still strong and invincible.
Right now it’s as if there would be no war without Zhentian Lei...
Xue Wanche glared and said: "Why do you care so much? Let's talk about the future! Your Majesty will come in person tomorrow morning to observe the enemy formation for us. If we fail to capture Anhe Palace by then, Your Majesty will not be able to see the Seven Stars. Door, that is the shame of our entire army!”
The deputy general did not dare to speak.
Naturally, Xue Wanche would not tell him that there were internal agents from the Tang Dynasty in Pingrang City. As long as the army captured Anhe Palace and eliminated the hidden dangers on the flanks, there would be no worries. As long as they arrived at Pyongyang City, someone would open the Seven Star Gate to welcome the army into the city. How could it be used? storm?
As for the arduous street fighting after entering the city, with the elite of the Tang army, they could still plow through the courtyards and sweep holes without the thunder, and they were invincible!
He ordered: "Don't say too much, and attack quickly. We will capture Anhe Palace before dawn. Then we will march south together and reach Pingrang City!"
"Here!"
The deputy general beside him quickly took the order and left.
Immediately, roars continued to be heard, and streams of gunpowder smoke rose from all over the Anhe Palace. The low walls, houses and other buildings that stood in front of the Tang army and were relied upon by the Goguryeo army turned into ruins. Countless Goguryeo soldiers exploded. They were directly blown away, or were hit by flying masonry, causing death and injury everywhere.
The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and they charged forward bravely. In one fell swoop, they advanced the battle line dozens of feet deep into the depths of Anhe Palace. The situation was instantly reversed.
When Gao Yanwu saw that the soldiers under his command were blown to pieces, and the defense lines were broken through by the Tang army one after another, Gao Yanwu immediately raised his sword and chopped down several scattered soldiers, and yelled: "Anyone who retreats without authorization will be killed! I will support them all, and they can't withstand the Tang army." , we are all dead!”
"Here!"
The soldiers around him surrounded him and rushed towards the Tang army's charge formation.
"Boom!"
The two parties collided fiercely. There were flames everywhere in Anhe Palace, and the battle was extremely fierce.
However, no matter how powerful Gao Yanwu was, with only a few thousand soldiers under his command, how could he resist Xue Wanche personally leading tens of thousands of elite Tang troops to open the way with thunderous thunder and surge forward to attack? Countless Goguryeo soldiers howled and fell to the sword of the Tang army. Under the unrestrained use of thunderbolts by the Tang army, all the defenses of Anhe Palace were like paper and were blown to pieces in an instant.
Under the heavy snowfall, the Tang army poured into Anhe Palace like a tide, while the Goguryeo army continued to retreat and was on the verge of collapse.
There was no fear on Gao Yanwu's face. Seeing that the defeat was certain and Anhe Palace could no longer be defended, he clenched the steel knife in his hand and shouted at the soldiers on the left and right: "Everyone, as soldiers, we are responsible for protecting our home and country. We must report to the police." Jun En, exit Bao Lishu. The enemy is strong today, but we cannot lose our ambition! I will go forward bravely and serve the king with great service! My sons, follow me in the charge!" br>
The Han people have lived in the heavens and led the world since ancient times. Generations of outstanding sages and sages created countless classics and gave birth to the splendid Han civilization, which was envied by the surrounding Hu people and competed to learn from it.
Gao Yanwu, who had read many Han classics, was deeply influenced by "Family, Country and World". At this moment, he was on the verge of despair. He had no fear in his heart, only the impassioned desire to fight to the death and make his name go down in history.
The soldiers on the left and right were all his confidants, and they had long known that they would surely die if defeated. At this moment, they were infected by him, and their blood was boiling. They raised their arms and shouted: "Charge! Charge! Charge!"
Gao Yanwu laughed loudly, holding a steel knife, and rushed towards the densest place of the Tang army, moving forward indomitably.
The soldiers under his command were all elite, and they were determined to die. They just wanted to kill more Tang troops, and they burst out with extremely strong fighting power, which caught the Tang troops off guard and forced them to break into the formation.
The two armies met in close combat and fought fiercely in an instant.
Xue Wanche saw that the Tang army had entered the Anhe Palace with overwhelming force, but an army suddenly sprang out, extremely fierce, and killed the Tang army in front of them. Knife, shouted: "My sons, follow me to kill the enemy!"
No matter what general leads the soldiers, Xue Wanche is a crude, reckless and reckless man. The soldiers under his command are also fierce and fierce, and are not afraid of death. When they see their leader holding a sword in front, they all clamor to follow him and kill. Go to that team of Goguryeo soldiers.
Soon, the Tang army on the battlefield made way for Xue Wanche to lead his men to the front and fight with Gao Yanwu.
Xue Wanche immediately stared at Gao Yanwu who was surrounded by Goguryeo soldiers. Although he did not know the identity of the other party, judging from his aura, he knew that he was a lieutenant general of the Goguryeo army. Maybe he was the guard of Anhe Palace. He immediately became energetic and rushed towards Gao Yanwu. Then he killed him.
Previously, in the mountain city of Dacheng, I was able to slash the Pure Land of Yuan with just a glance, and received a great achievement. However, I was shot and killed by a group of crossbowmen with random crossbows, and my achievements were greatly reduced.
Now that we have met another high-ranking general, how can we let the credit slip away again?
When the soldiers under his command saw Xue Wanche's heroic charging posture, they knew what he was thinking. They quickly followed him to protect his wings. Hundreds of people formed an arrow formation and inserted straight into the enemy's array. (End of chapter)
