No, it can’t even be said overnight. They just sent their troops here. It took less than a cup of tea, and Li Sheng brazenly broke through the defense line at the south gate of Anshi City!
At this moment, the question mark on Zhang Shigui's head was bigger than that of Li Xiaogong. How the hell was this done?!
Speaking of Li Xiaogong and Zhang Shigui, these are both fierce and famous generals who followed Li Er to conquer the world in the late Sui Dynasty. They are both experienced generals, and their cognitive and personal qualities are actually similar. But at this moment...
All the incredible feelings and huge doubts in Li Xiaogong's mind also appeared in Zhang Shigui's mind.
Isn't this a joke?
Three thousand soldiers and horses, these are the heavenly soldiers and generals of Nima!!!
Then Zhang Shigui and Li Xiaogong looked at each other, and they looked at each other in confusion.
this……
"Prince, do you know what is going on..."
"Hey, Duke Guo, don't ask me. This is the work of the Holy Marquis. How could I know?"
Li Xiaogong gave a wry smile.
However, these words instantly reminded Zhang Shigui.
Yes……
These three thousand soldiers and horses may not be heavenly soldiers and generals...
But it is really possible that Li Sheng is the one...
God has descended to earth...
Zhang Shigui shook his head vigorously, trying to calm down the shock in his mind.
Then he slowly came back to his senses and looked into the distance in shock.

…
October 19th, the eighth year of Zhenguan.
The imperial army of the Tang Dynasty stormed Anshi City in full force.
Li Sheng, the Marquis of Shengxiang, used artillery for the first time in the world.
It was originally so strong that it looked like it would last forever. It was a wall that could not be destroyed even by grenades that were so powerful that they could easily kill even the bravest heavy cavalry.
On this day, it turned into pieces of flimsy white paper, easily torn apart by the fire that first came to this world.
The city of Anshi was destroyed, and the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty wiped out the whole process.
Yang Tiande, the son of guard general Yang Wanchun, died in the battle, and Yang Wanchun led thousands of people to escape overnight.
A fire broke out in Anshi City, which was put out by the Tang army. Hundreds of thousands of Xianbei soldiers and civilians were captured and escorted overseas to be used by the Tang army to develop military towns.
It was a night battle, and the Tang army suddenly broke through the city. The army once again created the myth that there were no casualties.
When the news came out, the whole country of Goguryeo was shocked!
…
Once Anshi City was captured, in addition to capturing a large number of people, it eased the Tang Dynasty's rapid expansion of overseas territory, but it also lacked manpower for farming and fighting.
On the other hand, the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty directly captured countless cattle, sheep and war horses. After total calculation, Changsun Wuji estimated that it was at least millions of guans!
Assets worth millions are no longer that exaggerated in the context of the increasingly affluent and powerful Tang Dynasty economy. As far as Hangzhou is concerned, among the maritime merchants who are becoming more and more familiar with the ocean and becoming more and more affluent,
Many people have assets in the millions, including Shanghai Shipbuilding.
But this is Goguryeo, not the Tang Dynasty. This is Anshi City, not Hangzhou. There are not so many maritime merchants gathered there, it can even be said.
Of these more than one million yuan, the (handicraft) industrial output value is not much, and most of it is food supplies.
Of course, these things are not very important to the grassroots imperial soldiers and Li Sheng.
What is important to the grassroots Forbidden Soldiers and Li Sheng is.
The army has been out for so long, and finally...
It's time to have a quick meal of meat...
The actual situation is that when a large army goes on an expedition, the food they eat will certainly not be very good, so along the way...
Although Li Sheng came here with the mentality of paddling on a water trip and accompanying this "King of Beishan County" to gain qualifications, although Li Sheng knew that his military quality was not as good as that of Li Xiaogong and other celebrities, he still knew basic military common sense that being a general
The best thing is to live and eat with the soldiers.
Normally speaking, it is not inevitable. For example, when Huo Qubing was on an expedition, he asked the soldiers to set up an oversized luxury tent for him, where he could play football, cook skewers and grill on the stove...
But Li Sheng thought that since he wanted to keep a low profile, of course he wouldn't do this. But this time after taking Anshi City, Li Sheng...
The main thing is to test the practicality of the artillery - after all, artillery, pyrotechnics, etc., unless they are actually used on the battlefield, no matter how many experiments are done, I will definitely feel unsure.
But now that he has used it and the effect is good, Li Sheng is of course relieved - and a lot happy. Not only that, he also seized the cattle and sheep that Goguryeo harvested this year...
Of course, the whole army would eat meat and eat it to their heart's content...
But that night Li Sheng, Li Xiaogong, Chang Le, Changsun Wuji...
While waiting for a group of people to send the messenger troops to Youzhou in the south to take away the news of the great victory, and eating and drinking to celebrate the stage victory, for some reason...
Everyone was discussing very excitedly that the Goguryeo mutton was delicious, when they heard Changsun Wuji suddenly sigh.
This sigh was not loud, but Old Devil Yuchi heard it.
It should be said that Yuchi Laomo is also a conscientious person. He must thoroughly consume some good things and be happy for a year before giving up. Therefore, he eats the most happily among everyone - mainly because Li Sheng's artillery is so eye-opening to him.
.
It's like a medical beauty company pulling your eyes, and the whole person seems to have entered a new world.
And when he was in such a good mood and heard Changsun sighing schemingly beside him, Old Devil Yuchi was of course unhappy.
Snapped!
There was a thick muffled sound, and Old Devil Yuchi slapped Changsun Xinji on the back. He narrowed his eyes with an evil look on his face and said, "What's wrong...our Duke Zhao is not happy after winning the battle, so why is he sighing like this?"
The slap of Old Demon Yuchi almost broke the bones of Changsun Xinji. He coughed several times before lamenting again, but he did not complain about Old Demon Yuchi, but said:
"We won... we won the battle. I am also a minister of the Tang Dynasty. How can I be unhappy? I just interrogated a few Xianbei prisoners of war... Sigh."
Changsun Wuji sighed again.
He sighed three times in a row, obviously having something on his mind. This process of interrogating Xianbei prisoners of war... there was no doubt that something had happened.
Li Xiaogong, Li Ji and others immediately focused their attention on it, became curious in their hearts, and said, "What has Duke Zhao found out during the trial? Why don't you come with me and listen to it?"
This is what everyone asked.
Then, Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment and spoke with a gloomy expression about his interrogation of several Xianbei prisoners of war.
Of course, Changsun Wuji only conducted a routine interrogation when arranging the disposal of prisoners, and did not consciously obtain any information. However, during this interrogation, he accidentally learned that Yang Wanchun, the guard of Anshi City, mobilized that night.
The affairs of the whole city, both military and civilian.
and……
As Changsun Wuji recounted what the Xianbei soldiers had told him, Li Xiaogong, Li Ji and others gradually frowned as they listened...
