Seeing this scene, Yang Wanchun finally showed a bloodthirsty and cruel smile on his face.
very good……
The old man Yeon Gae So-moon said that he was good at speaking and talking, so he didn't want to disappoint him.
Having said that, although Yang Wanchun doesn't want to hang out with Yeon Gaesumun and wants to go alone, Yang Wanchun also understands that going alone is not an easy task. Of course, these things are not important right now.
There's only one thing that matters right now...
"Say it."
Yang Wanchun finally turned his head slightly and said these two words to the soldiers who had just driven down from the top of the city.
And then the soldier on duty reported the situation to Yang Wanchun in horror... One-five-ten, all.
And the next moment...
The Goguryeo soldiers who further confirmed the news also showed signs of shock. However, with the presence of Yang Wanchun just now, no one was panic-stricken anymore. Instead,...
When the pawn finished speaking, many Xianbei people even showed sadness in their eyes, and... something that often goes hand in hand with such sad tears.
Although not every Xianbei soldier has this thing, in Yang Wanchun's opinion, the proportion is not bad.
very good!
What no one knows is that Yang Wanchun is actually not that sure at this moment. After all...
Now the Tang army was attacking in all directions from four sides, and... this time, there were tens of thousands of people on each side, and the total strength in one direction alone was greater than the total strength of Yuchi Gong's previous feint attack.
Faced with this situation, Yang Wanchun was also worried. It would be difficult to defend tonight. However, thinking about the looks of some Xianbei people in the army just now, Yang Wanchun felt a little confident.
With these Xianbei people here, the success rate of defending the city is still much higher!
Then Yang Wanchun quickly deployed his troops.
According to the report of the soldiers on duty at the top of the city, the Tang army's configuration for attacking the city tonight was 60,000 troops on both the east and west sides, and the largest number was not on the south side of the Tang army's main camp, but on the north side.
There were more than 100,000 people gathered in the north - according to the observation of the captain on duty, it was probably close to 200,000 troops.
With this configuration, Yang Wanchun could see clearly at a glance that Tang Jun was going to kill Anshi City at once, and...
We also plan to intercept all possible reinforcements!
Thinking of this, Yang Wanchun couldn't help but feel a haze rising in his heart... There seemed to be a lot fewer people in the Tang Army's camp these days, and they disappeared for several days.
Although I don’t know if the king has sent reinforcements, there are rumors in the army that someone has heard a dull explosion that shook the ground from the northwest...
Now I'm just afraid...
Soon Yang Wanchun shook his head, knowing that it was not the time to think about these things. Anyway, even if he figured it out, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't change what had already happened.
What matters is always "now".
Since the Tang Army has already adopted a posture of not giving any chance or letting any reinforcements come to relieve the siege, there is no doubt that...tonight is the real moment of decisive battle in Anshi City.
Since the main force is outside the north gate, then... I have nothing to say.
While Yang Wanchun deployed personnel to set up defenses on the east and west walls of the city, and arranged for personnel to mobilize supplies, weapons, arrows, and kerosene, he quickly walked toward the north wall of the city.
But when he got there, Yang Wanchun suddenly remembered something.
What about the south gate?
Of course, Yang Wanchun is not an idiot. When the soldier reported the east and west gates and the main force of nearly 200,000 Tang troops in the north, he thought of the direction of the south gate. However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was probably no one at the south gate because Goguryeo
Reinforcements - if any - will not appear from the south gate, so of course the main forces will be transferred to other directions.
But now that I think about it more carefully, although there is probably no one at the south gate, but...
What if? If there are troops from the Tang Army attacking the city, then they have to be on guard. After all, no matter which side of the city wall collapses, there will be no difference in the final result.
With this in mind, when he was about to board the north gate tower, Yang Wanchun turned to look at the soldiers beside him and frowned and asked, "What's the situation at the south gate? Is there a large Tang army stationed there?"
"Report to the general, outside the south gate is the Tang Army's lair. They currently only have a few thousand people guarding the camp at the south gate. They seem a little busy, as if they are preparing supplies or something."
The soldiers on duty reported briefly and honestly what they saw.
When Yang Wanchun heard this, he nodded... As expected.
But just as he was about to climb the tower, something suddenly lit up in his mind again.
No, it should be said that a lightning-like bright light suddenly lit up! It illuminated every corner of my mind in an instant.
etc……
There are so few troops at the south gate.
That……
Couldn't he try to break through from the south gate?
If I could break through...
Although the mobilization meeting took a lot of thought from Yang Wanchun, and he has always been proud of his ability to inspire people, but...
To be honest, what Yang Wanchun hopes most is to use this strong city to defeat the Tang army and force them to retreat, but if that is not possible...
Then it is quite important to find opportunities for Goguryeo to preserve its strength.
As for what to do specifically... Yang Wanchun always felt that there was no chance, because first of all, although the city was not besieged from all sides on weekdays, the Tang army was mainly stationed at the south gate, and he could indeed escape from the east, west, and north gates, but
It's definitely not possible to just run away. Don't say that you can't do it, and even if you run away, the king probably won't let you go... neither will Yeon Gae So-moon.
But if you let some soldiers and horses escape when the defense of the city is really unsustainable, you are really thinking about Goguryeo. Even Yeon Gaesomun would have to sigh that he worked hard to save Goguryeo's strength.
It's just that when the battle was really fierce and the city was in danger, Yang Wanchun thought about that scene, but he didn't think he could let go of some of his troops. After all, how cunning was the Han army in the Tang Dynasty? How could he give himself such a favor?
Chance.
But at this moment...
If this isn't an opportunity, what is it? No matter what the Tang army's intentions are, the troops outside the south gate are empty... that means the troops are empty.
Keep an eye on yourself, maybe you can really let go of some of the troops...
Thinking like this, Yang Wanchun suddenly had a bold idea.
Wait, there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in the old camp of the Tang Army at this moment.
If I send 30,000 people out at this time, wouldn't I be able to directly capture the Tang Army's old camp?
The supplies and food in the old camp are gone...
Damn it, maybe I can not only defend the city...
It can also severely damage or even annihilate these 300,000 Tang troops!
Once he figured out this possibility, Yang Wanchun himself was almost stunned.
No matter why Tang Jun showed this strange flaw, but, but...
