"Humph, these guys really don't take us seriously." On top of the city, Gao Yuanshan looked at the enhanced version of the ladder moving in the distance. He saw nearly a hundred ladders approaching the city, and there were people standing on each ladder.

There were dozens of archers, and many ladders were moving slowly behind them. In total, there were thousands of people. The densely packed bows and arrows were aimed at the Goguryeo soldiers on the wall. Not to mention anything else.

, then these gleaming bows and arrows are enough to scare some people. But for Gao Yuanshan and others on the city wall, it is not strange, because Yang Wanchun had expected it.

"Tsk, tsk, the iron sheet is wrapped on the outside, just like what the general said." Yang Wanxia's sharp eyes saw that the enhanced version of the ladder was wrapped with iron sheet at a glance, obviously to prevent others from attacking with rockets. He then sneered: "

In that case, use a trebuchet to deal with it."

"No, not for the time being." Gao Yuanshan sneered: "They are far away from here now. If we use a trebuchet, the hit rate is not high, and it is easy for them to retreat first. Hehe, I am ready. Use rockets first.

To attack, the opponent must be very happy when they see this, and they will close the distance and shoot arrows. Hey, I put door panels, shields and other objects on the city wall, raise the city wall a small amount, and then attack the opponent's ladder with a trebuchet.

In this way, not only can it shock the opponent, but more importantly, the trebuchet can strike at close range with much higher accuracy. After the strike, it can continue to attack for a long time and expand the results. Hehe,

These ladders also consume a lot of materials. Although Lu Zhaoci has many craftsmen and can produce so many things in just a few days, if he doesn't have the materials to make them, how can he have such a high skill?

As a result of the efficiency, it may be difficult to see this kind of ladder in the future."

When Yang Wantong heard this, he nodded repeatedly. If there was no such ladder to attack the city, the difficulty of the attack would be much greater. In this way, it was quite good news for Anshi City.

"Fire rockets." As the flag in Gao Yuanshan's hand waved, countless rockets were shot from the top of the city, one after another towards the ladders. Unfortunately, the ladders were covered with iron sheets, and the rockets could not be fired at all. Even if they were fired,

Except for the occasional few unlucky soldiers who came in, they no longer suffered any losses, because the platform of the ladder was covered with wet soil and could not be burned at all.

"Your Majesty is wise, look at the opponent, they really attack with rockets. I didn't expect that we would wrap iron sheets on the ladder. In this way, no matter how many rockets there are, it is impossible to hit the ladder." Changsun Wuji's face

There was a hint of admiration. Of course, this was not admiration for Lu Zhaoci, but admiration for himself, because he was the first to make this suggestion, although he knew that he was not the only one who knew this method.

In the big tent, who among Lu Zhaoci, Li Jing and others is not a person who has been tested in the battlefield? They don't know, no, they know, let alone them, even Fang Xuanling knows this, but he was

Changsun Wuji just said it first. On the surface, Changsun Wuji was flattering Lu Zhaoci, but in fact, he was praising himself.

"Haha, what the auxiliary machine said makes sense. The more you count, the more you win, the less you count, the less you win. The one who doesn't count will not win." Lu Zhaoci nodded. Although there was no joy in his expression, there was a hint of joy in his words.

Happy. Everyone likes to hear nice things said by others, especially Lu Zhaoci. As the emperor, he has been the emperor for more than ten years, so he naturally likes to hear such flattery. Why did the emperors in the past dynasties later

, there are not many wise masters. Because of this, Lu Zhaoci is not a god who does not eat fireworks. As time goes by, he will not be able to resist the temptation of such words for a long time. Fortunately, he just likes to listen. When it comes to employing people, he still looks at it.

the other person’s talents.

"Your Majesty, it's better not to be too happy for the time being." Li Jing shook his head, pointed at the city wall and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Wanchun is a famous general in Goguryeo, especially good at defending the city. If he only has this ability, I will not

I believe it. If I am not wrong, when we built this enhanced version of the ladder, we must have been able to hide it from the other party. Yang Wanchun may be able to find a way in a short time."

"Is he really that powerful?" Changsun Wuji said disdainfully: "General, these barbarian lands, how many famous generals can be produced, it is already good to know a little military knowledge. In a hurry, Yang Wanchun can also come up with something

Countermeasures. If this was the case, we would not have attacked our camp late at night and were finally defeated by our army." Not only was Changsun Wuji disdainful, but the other generals also had the same look, because the ladder in front of them was not about attacking.

Means and defense means, to be honest, the comparison is strength, the difference between the two armies or even the two countries, and the emphasis is on momentum. Your city wall is very high, but I can build such a high ladder, and you

The walls of the city are as high as each other. You need to use archers to defend the city. I have more archers than you. Let’s make it clear to each other. This is an open plan. You have to accept it even if you don’t want to. Because the initiative in war generally means

They are all controlled by the siege side. You can attack however you want. Naturally, the losses suffered by the siege are much less than those by the defenders, but the means are much more flexible against the opponent.

"Your Majesty, look." At this moment, Fang Xuanling suddenly pointed at the city wall and said loudly to Lu Zhaoci. His words were full of surprise.

Everyone looked over and saw that countless shields and door panels had been erected on the city wall. In an instant, the city wall was raised several feet high. Don't underestimate the height of several feet. People can use the city wall to

Duo Zi is a very defensive thing. At least archers cannot attack him.

"Yang Wanchun is indeed extraordinary." Lu Zhaoci said with a gloomy expression and a frown: "This will make our army's attack much more difficult. Although the ladder is very high, it will be difficult to shoot all the bows and arrows.

Oh, General, please withdraw."

"Your Majesty, why don't you order the ladder to attack nearby? As long as the cloud is close to the city wall, then order the soldiers to attack the city. Hehe, this is a good opportunity. If they come out to stop them, we will shoot them with bows and arrows." Changsun Wuji spoke, and his face suddenly changed.

He showed a hint of complacency. This strategy was his idea.

"Your Majesty, it's better to withdraw. I always thought Yang Wanchun had more than this." Li Jing frowned and shook his head and said: "If these are the only methods, the other party will definitely not be able to do it by a general who is good at defending the city."

"General, let's go and test it out." Lu Zhaoci was unwilling to give in and said to Qin Yong beside him: "Order the ladder to move forward ten steps and shoot again. If it fails, shoot into the city to weaken their

strength."

"Yes." Qin Yong faithfully carried out Lu Zhaoci's order and ordered the ladder to advance ten steps again. Upon seeing this, Li Jing sighed deeply and did not persist. He just subconsciously believed that the other party had other plans.

method, but he didn't believe that the other party had any other means to deal with these ladders. He also had the attitude of giving it a try, so he did not stop Lu Zhaoci's order.

"General, they have advanced ten steps." On the city wall, a brave soldier quietly raised his head and looked at the ladder that was gradually approaching. There was no fear on his face, but only excitement and excitement.

The Silla people are different. These Goguryeo people have regarded the Central Plains as their enemy since ancient times. When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, not only did he suffer great losses, but Goguryeo itself also suffered huge losses. Otherwise, he would not have given up so easily. At least

Youzhou will also be occupied by them. Now, the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains has also come to conquer Goguryeo. In the eyes of these soldiers, they all look like the former Sui Dynasties. They are all enemies, and they are still very excited to kill them.

"It's only ten steps. It's easy for you to move forward in ten steps, but it would be difficult for Kos to go back." Gao Yuanshan frowned. This was only ten steps forward, and the distance was too small. But there was a lot.

I quickly thought that it would be easy for this thing to move forward, but it would be difficult to move back. When I thought of this, I felt a lot better.

"Trebuchet, attack." Yang Wanxia received Gao Yuanshan's signal, his face suddenly showed excitement, he waved the flag in his hand and shouted loudly.

In an instant, there were bursts of grinding sounds on the city wall. Stones as big as millstones flew out from the city wall and hit the row of ladders. The sky was filled with darkness, and waves of waves were thrown.

The roaring sound instantly blocked even the sun in the sky.

"It's not good for the trebuchet. Hurry, pull back quickly." Li Jing looked at the black spots in the sky, his face changed drastically, his eyes flashed, and he loudly said to the messenger behind him: "Quick, Ming Jin withdraws the troops,

"Ming Jin withdraws the troops." In fact, there was no need for Li Jing to pass the order himself. Xu Shiji, who was commanding the troops on the front line, had already discovered that something was wrong and quickly ordered his troops to retreat slowly. However, despite this, hundreds of ladders were still destroyed by the opponent's trebuchets.

For a moment, this kind of ladder made of wood could not withstand the blow of stones. Moreover, these stones fell from the sky. The huge inertia brought a huge force that non-human beings could compare with.

They hit the ladders. These ladders collapsed one after another like paper. The poor archers on top didn't have enough time to climb down from the ladders. They were either stoned to death or thrown to death, as were those who pushed them.

The soldiers advancing on the ladders also suffered disasters, with many casualties. Think about how many ladders were made by the Tang Dynasty. Although the accuracy of the trebuchets was not very good, there were many targets. It could be hit with just one hit.

Smash a ladder.

For a time, there were endless screams on the entire battlefield. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were obviously overwhelmed by the sudden attack. Even if these people had been trained for a long time and had experienced many wars, there were

After all, it was training. I had never experienced anything like this before. It happened suddenly, without any warning. So many rocks suddenly appeared in the clear sky, roaring towards them. How could these soldiers be prepared? Wait until they react

At this time, they found that they were still on the ladder several feet high. In a short period of time, they could not climb to the ground at all. In desperation, some soldiers could only jump down from the high ladder. At this time

, they are betting on luck, maybe they won’t die if they fall. You know, even if you die, the court will help you support you for the rest of your life, but if you die, you can only get a generous pension. This money is

You can take care of your wife and children, but you have no use for yourself. Ants can live in vain, let alone people.

It's a pity that the more panicked in my heart, the more chaotic the scene became. The whole battlefield became more and more chaotic. People are always very afraid of unknown things. The stones of the catapult were so inaccurate that no one could

You don’t know whose head it will hit next. You can only save your own life by running far away and out of its attack range. In this way, there are already a lot of people on the enhanced version of the ladder, and each one

It was simply impossible to get them all down, and hundreds of enhanced ladders were crowded together, which greatly affected the movement.

"Don't panic, don't be chaotic," a captain looked at the chaotic battlefield with a hint of panic on his face. He quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted loudly. Unfortunately, just in the middle of speaking, a stone suddenly fell from the air.

Come, hit him in the forehead, the captain touched his forehead with a look of disbelief on his face, and his huge body slowly fell backwards. But he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. But the soldiers around him didn't pay attention to whether their commander was alive or dead at this time.

It was still death. At this time, the priority was to escape with one's life. The various captains ran away from him.

Moreover, this situation did not happen just here. It happened everywhere on the entire battlefield. In fact, the catapults did not hit many targets, but there were many people who trampled on each other.

Lu Zhaoci was riding on his horse, looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of him. His fists were clenched tightly, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. At this time, the shouts of death and screams on the battlefield seemed to be far away from him.

When I left, the chaotic scene seemed like something I hadn't seen. This was my own army. It didn't seem to be a strong army. It was still not calm enough in the face of sudden events. People around Lu Zhaoci also seemed to feel that Lu Zhaoci

The coldness on his body made his face change, but no one dared to speak. They could only watch the chaotic scene in front of them. Hundreds of ladders were seen collapsing one after another, causing another wave of screams.

, stones flew out from the opposite city wall, creating huge pits one after another. The huge pits were filled with the flesh and blood of the Tang army. There was a tragic atmosphere in the air, which made people frown. The surrounding people frowned.

The atmosphere was also very depressing. No one dared to speak. They could only stare at everything in front of them, waiting for the army to stabilize.

"Your Majesty, this ladder is too high." Li Jing sighed while looking at the battle situation in front of him. He was right. With such a huge ladder, if the opponent does not react and does not take any measures,

It is possible that the Tang Army will soon gain an absolute advantage and capture Anshi City. However, at the moment, the opponent has already thought of all this and suddenly resorted to this method, which caught the Tang Army off guard.

They fell into a big trap and suffered heavy damage. Considering that the ladder was high up, the soldiers of the Tang army were indeed afraid when faced with threats. No one could have imagined that such a thing would happen. Li Jing vaguely reminded Lu Zhaoci,

This kind of thing is not the fault of the generals, but that the opponent is too powerful. Just like what Lu Zhaoci said at the beginning: more calculations lead to more wins, less calculations lead to less victories, which does not mean invincibility. The current match between two masters,

The Tang army just undercalculated a little, and the other party overcalculated a lot, which led to the current situation. Of course, only Li Jing dared to say this kind of thing to Lu Zhaoci. Didn't you see that no one of the generals next to him dared to speak?

Even Lu Ke stayed aside cautiously and did not dare to speak. As for Changsun Wuji, he did not dare to speak even more.

"I know." The cold light in Lu Zhaoci's eyes slowly dissipated, and then he sighed deeply and said: "I know. It's a pity. I didn't expect that this Yang Wanchun really has some skills, hehe.

, saw us building ladders, and knew what we wanted to do, and ordered people to build trebuchets. Before that, they also erected wooden planks on the city wall to confuse our troops, so that we thought the overall situation was determined. Unprepared, the order

The ladders moved forward again and dealt a blow to the opponent, but they did not expect that this was exactly what the opponent wanted. A large number of ladders approached the city. Not only did the opponent's trebuchets have a much more accurate aim, but in the same time, they also hit our army.

The lethality caused has also increased a lot. Humph, coupled with being caught off guard, our army was not mentally prepared, and those soldiers were not mentally prepared, so they allowed the other side to succeed. Humph, Yang Wanchun, I want to see it

, how many means do you still have."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this Anshi City is just a city, far inferior to Liaodong City. Since Liaodong City can be captured, why can't we defeat Anshi City? Humph, I think of the time when His Majesty ruled the world.

, I don’t know how many heroes there are in the world, but in the end they were not all wiped out by His Majesty. Yang Wanchun was just a general, so how could he be your Majesty’s opponent? He only succeeded temporarily by relying on tricks, and the real fight began.

How can I be your Majesty's opponent when the battle comes?" Changsun Wuji said loudly after hearing the words. His words quickly infected the surrounding soldiers, and the dull mood just now improved, and their morale was boosted. They all started shouting.

Wanting to take revenge on Yang Wanchun, even Lu Zhaoci had a smile on his face.

"That's right, let's go, collect the troops back to the camp, order the army's traditional Chinese medicine doctors to treat the wounded soldiers, provide the wounded soldiers with good food and wine, write down the names of the dead one by one, and order the general staff to record them in the book. After the meeting,

Let’s make some plans again, huh, I want to meet this Yang Wanchun." Lu Zhaoci said loudly.

"I obey the order," the generals said loudly.
