Chapter 457: Just what you want

"What do they want to do?" Gao Yuanshan looked at everything outside the city. Countless Goguryeo people were walking slowly on the road carrying dirt on their backs, and then piled the dirt together. In a short period of time, a small hillside had been formed.

This is because the opponent's base is too large, with hundreds of thousands of people, including many Tang Dynasty soldiers, who are obviously here to transport the soil to build a mountain.

"What's going on?" Unlike Gao Yuanshan, Gaisuwen didn't think of this. What surprised him was why the Tang army would adopt this method. You must know that the previous method of attacking Anshi City, although

It will take a lot of time, but the victory is safety and fewer casualties. But now it is different. Is the opponent's move used to attack?

"Sir, what does Tang Tong want to do?" Gao Yuanshan asked impatiently.

"He wants to attack." Gaisu Wen glanced at everything under the city lightly and said: "Our Anshi City is too high and has a convenient location. Lu Zhaoci built the ladder in order to make this location convenient for him.

It was used by catapults and was later destroyed by catapults. This time he changed his method and wanted to build mountains so that he would not be afraid of our catapults." There was no trace of worry in Gesuwen's words, as if all this was

It was all as he expected.

"What should we do?" Yang Wanxia said nervously: "The other side built a high platform, but it was still made of mud. In this way, not only did our army's trebuchets fail to hit the opponent, but also in terms of geographical location, we also lost our advantage over the opponent.

You can shoot arrows on the mountain, but things are not good here. Sir, you have to think of a way."

"Well, if they raise the height, we will also raise the height." Gesuwen said disdainfully: "We are a mountain city, and some of it is soil. No matter how high they raise, we will also raise the height. They have people, and we also have people. I

Let’s see how much taller they can get.”

"Sir, why don't you take advantage of the enemy's pile of dirt to send out a cavalry and kill them all?" Yang Wantong came up with an idea.

"It's useless. Lu Zhaoci must have his reasons for doing this. It can even be said that he has been ready for a long time and is waiting for us to go out and fight him." As if Yang Wanchun's words were fulfilled, he saw the ground suddenly burst.

Trembling, there was a roar of shouts in the city, and countless cavalry were seen, lined up in a neat square formation, walking slowly, with a momentum like a rainbow, and everyone was breathless. These cavalry walked slowly, surrounding the mountain.

Not only to guard the working Goguryeo people, but more importantly, to guard against Goguryeo soldiers rushing out of the city, obviously to protect this mountain.

"That's true." Gao Yuanshan said fiercely: "This guy is really treacherous. If we go out, we can just have a cavalry battle with our army. The amount of cavalry we have is not enough to fill their teeth. Fortunately, sir, you are wise.

I didn’t fall for his trick. Humph.”

"The only thing we can do now is to strengthen the city defense and raise the height of the city wall. Hum, as high as they can raise it, we can raise it as high as we can. Let's see who is higher." Yang Wantong sneered: "Our foundation is solid, how can we

It’s something they can compare to.”

"It doesn't matter. I'm just wondering why Tang Tong gave up his previous tactics and changed to another one." Yang Wanchun ignored the voices of everyone and spoke out his guesses and suspicions.

"Sir, maybe Lu Zhaoci thinks this method is much better than the previous one." Yang Wanxia said nonchalantly: "I heard that the emperors of the Central Plains always acted based on their preferences and did not base their actions on facts at all.

Isn't that how Yang Guang, the former Sui emperor, behaved like this? I think Lu Zhaoci is similar. It's not surprising."

"Yes, I think he came up with the strategy of reinforcing the ladder at the beginning, but it failed. He couldn't explain it in front of the ministers, so he thought of another method. In addition, the method yesterday was indeed detrimental to an emperor.

reputation, so I changed my approach." Yang Wantong also explained.

"Lu Zhaoci is not this kind of person." Yang Wanchun shook his head and said with a smile: "He is a person who can do anything in order to win. Otherwise, he would not have killed so many Goguryeo people just to confuse him.

Gao Yanshou and others, as long as he wins the victory, he will not care about the reputation. Hum, this is Goguryeo, not the Central Plains, and he has no need to regard the people of Goguryeo as his own people just for a little reputation.

These common people are like this. With a slap in the face and a sweet date, the common people will forget everything the emperor has done for them and call him Mingjun. Time will make the Goguryeo people forget everything. In the land of Liaodong back then,

It is the Central Plains people who live here. After we arrived in Goguryeo, we also aroused resistance from the Central Plains people, but over the years, these Central Plains people have accepted us. The reason for this is because of time. Time will destroy loyalty, time will destroy

Hatred. The same is true in front of us. If Liaodong is acquired by Lu Zhaoci, the Goguryeo people in Liaodong will not accept the Central Plains people in a short period of time. If we counterattack in time, they will still help us, but in 20 years

After ten years, it's impossible to say. By that time, they will have been accustomed to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and we will not get their support if we come again. So Lu Zhaoci is not afraid of these at all. The emperor's reputation, victory

All have good reputations."

"Then what is the purpose of Lu Zhaoci's move?" Gao Yuanshan was a little suspicious, pointing to the people outside the city and said: "So what if there is a mountain of earth, we can also strengthen the city defense. At that time, both sides will actually have to enter.

In a hand-to-hand battle, what benefits could Datang get? Although the previous method was a bit shameless, he had to admit that that method was quite simple and would not cost Datang many men. He gave up the simple method and

It’s strange to do it this way.”

"It's not surprising at all." Yang Wanchun suddenly seemed to have thought of something, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Lu Zhaoci is competing for time. Yes, he is competing for time."

"Seizing time?" Gao Yuanshan and others looked at Yang Wanchun in surprise.

"That's right." Yang Wanchun nodded and said, "He is just grabbing time. Look, with so many people piling up a mountain of earth, it won't take long for the mountain to be as big as our Anshi city."

By then, our city of Anshi will have lost its geographical advantage. As usual, the two sides will engage in hand-to-hand combat. But with yesterday's method, the Tang Dynasty could take advantage of it and use these Goguryeo people to consume our arrows.

In half a month, our arrows will be completely consumed. Then it will be much more convenient to attack our city of Anshi, and the losses of the Tang army will be greatly reduced. But why did Lu Zhaoci

The only reason why we should abandon this method is because they are competing for time. Haha, let’s go deeper, why are they competing for time?”

"Our reinforcements have arrived." Gao Yuanshan and others were not fools. Their eyes suddenly lit up and they said loudly. The faces of other generals also showed joy.

"Yes, our reinforcements have arrived. I guess even Da Duilu personally led the troops." Yang Wanchun nodded and said: "The location of Anshi City is too important. It is like a nail in Liaodong.

Deeply rooted in the land of Liaodong, blocking Lu Zhaoci's attack. As long as Lu Zhaoci is dragged in Liaodong, Lu Zhaoci must retreat before winter comes, but once Anshi City is lost, Goguryeo will almost be destroyed.

It was precisely because of this that Da Dui Lu took a fancy to it, so he personally led his troops to rescue him. If his guess is correct, the troops led by Da Dui Lu this time must have been very large, so many that they aroused Lu Zhaoci's fear.

, so he was so nervous that he gave up the original offensive methods and adopted new methods in order to conquer Anshi City in a short time. Then we will deal with Da Duilu."

"Humph, that's really cunning." Gao Yuanshan said fiercely: "If this Anshi City was attacked so easily by Lu Zhaoci, we might as well all be dead."

"Humph. We can inform the three armies of this matter. Their morale will definitely be boosted. When the time comes, they will be more courageous in resisting. I'm afraid it will be impossible for Lu Zhaoci to capture Anshi City." Yang Wanchun sneered: "

Since you want to build a mountain of earth outside, then I will reinforce the city wall inside the city. I will reinforce it as high as you can build it."

"My lord is wise." When Gao Yuanshan and others heard that Gaisu Wen had personally led the troops, they were extremely excited, their spirits were lifted a lot, and their words became much more powerful.

"Hehe, I want to know what Lu Zhaoci is like now." Yang Wanchun said proudly: "In a short time, I will attack Lu Zhaoci from both sides and see how he copes with it.

It’s hard to imagine that he could kill millions of soldiers in the Central Plains like he did back then. He could also build dozens of imperial palaces.”

"My lord is wise." All the generals also laughed. Now that they know Lu Zhaoci's plan, they will not let him succeed. The opponent has piled up mountains of earth, and we can also strengthen the city. The competition between the two sides now is not about soldiers at all.

Strength is not a competition of the commanding ability of both sides, nor is it a competition of the number of bows and arrows. What the two sides are competing for is time. Let’s see which side can defeat the other side in a short period of time. An attack that can defeat the other side in such a short period of time.

, or he is stalling for time. Yang Wanchun is still very confident about this.

Sure enough, when Yang Wanchun spread the news that reinforcements were coming, Anshi City burst into cheers and morale was high. Even when reinforcing the city wall, his hands and feet became a little faster.

"Your Majesty, Yang Wanchun is reinforcing the city wall. Please make your decision." Qin Yong broke into the Chinese army's tent and said loudly.

"Reinforce the city defense? Oh, I know." Lu Zhaoci raised his head. Not only was there no look of surprise on his face, but a sneer appeared on his face, as if he had heard some joke, which surprised the Princess of Silla who was serving next to her.

..

"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Qin Yong obviously did not expect such an answer from Lu Zhaobin. He was obviously unprepared and quickly raised his head and asked.

"Just do whatever you have to do." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "Let him strengthen the city defenses. Starting from tomorrow, send people to keep an eye on the city walls. The army will be ready to attack Anshi City at any time."

"Ah" Qin Yong was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Lu Zhaoci in surprise, but found that Lu Zhaoci had a serious look on his face. He was obviously not joking, but if he allowed the other party to strengthen the city wall, for the Tang army,

It doesn't seem to be a good thing. At the very least, we need to use bows and arrows to suppress it, so that the opponent can reinforce the city wall slower. How can we allow the opponent to reinforce the city wall in this way? I think the opponent's city wall is already higher than the ground.

The Tang Dynasty had to build a mountain from the ground. Although the Tang Dynasty had a large number of Goguryeo labor forces, they could not make it easy for them. However, the emperor let them strengthen the city wall so easily, which surprised him, but

But he didn't dare to ask, so he retreated quietly.

"Your Majesty." Qin Yong had just walked out when a soft voice came from beside him. Lu Zhaoci looked over and saw Princess Silla, who also had a look of curiosity on her face.

"What? Is something wrong?" Lu Zhaoci asked with a smile, putting down the ink pen in his hand.

"That General Qin just now?" The meaning of Princess Xinluo's words was self-evident, and she was obviously very curious about why Lu Zhaoci let Yang Wanchun order his men to strengthen the city defense.

"Haha" Lu Zhaoci said with a smile when he saw this: "What you are talking about is why I let Yang Wanchun reinforce the city wall?" Lu Zhaoci's eyes were bright and shining, as if he could see through people's hearts, and he was so pink with the Princess of Silla.

His face was flushed, and his snow-white skin, with a hint of pink, was so alluring that Lu Zhaoci couldn't help but move his index finger. Regardless of whether he was in the tent or not, he touched his right hand along the collar. Feeling

The delicate body in front of her trembled.

"Your Majesty." Princess Silla lowered her head, her face even redder, as if she was dripping blood.

"Haha." Seeing this, Lu Zhaoci showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Yang Wanchun is good at defending the city, but he is just a general. There are some things he doesn't understand. Just because he doesn't understand, so I

Only then would he be allowed to strengthen the city wall so easily, I wish he could make Anshi City as high as possible."

"Ah, why is this?" Princess Silla was immediately attracted by Lu Zhaoci's words. She raised her head and looked at Lu Zhaoci in surprise, her eyes filled with confusion. Lu Zhaoci couldn't help but look at her small appearance.

His index finger moved. If he hadn't worried that it was daytime and there were guardsmen stationed outside the tent, he would have already picked up his gun, mounted his horse, and galloped into the battlefield.

"Haha, come on, let me explain it to you." Lu Zhaoci pulled Princess Silla over with a smile, ordered Qin Jiudao next to him to get a few blocks, put them in front of him, took out one of them, and said to Princess Silla

: "Today's Anshi City is like the block of wood in front of me. It is very high. If I want to capture it, more soldiers will die, so I decided to build a mountain higher than this block of wood to take advantage of the terrain.

, using archers to suppress the opponent makes it much easier for our army to attack the city. But the opponent is not stupid, and can also raise the height, that's it." Lu Zhaoci took another piece of wood and placed it on it.

Then another piece was placed, and three pieces of wood were placed on it one after another. The wooden platform was already shaking slightly.

"What did you see?" Lu Zhaoci smiled and stretched out a finger, lightly tapping on the wooden platform. The wooden platform fell on top of several cases. Lu Zhaoci smiled and said: "He

If the foundation is unstable, no matter how high the city is built, it will be useless. If I do anything casually, Anshi City will collapse."

"What about your majesty's earth mountain?" Princess Silla's face showed a look of horror, and the boss, with her mouth hanging open, couldn't help but asked nervously.

"Haha, my earth mountain is different." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "When a tall building rises from the ground, the foundation must be laid firmly first. This earth mountain is wider at the bottom and smaller at the top. As long as we continue to expand the foundation stone,

The earth mountain will not collapse. But the city wall is different. It is not easy to build the city wall, and I don’t know if Yang Wanchun has thought about it. Hum, the higher his city wall is built, the more I like it.

When it reaches a certain height, I will put wood on the soil to impact its base. Hum, in this way, I can easily knock down the wall that Anshi City relies on as the Great Wall.

My army can easily invade Anshi City. So just now Qin Yong said that Yang Wanchun was reinforcing the city wall. Not only was I not surprised, but I was very happy."

The Princess of Silla on the side has long been dumbfounded. This kind of simple architecture plus physical application method is still understood a lot in this society, but no one has applied it systematically. At the bottom of society, those who specialize in

People in the construction industry may understand this principle, but the upper class, whether it is Yang Wanchun or the Silla princess in front of them, do not necessarily understand this principle, so they will not pay attention to this kind of thing.

But who is Lu Zhaoci? Although his body is from this era, his thoughts are thousands of years ahead of this era. Naturally, he understands this little knowledge. Poor Yang Wanchun thought he had a trick, but he didn't know that if he strengthened the city wall, he would be able to overcome it.

Gao, in the end, he was the unlucky one. But he, Lu Zhaoci, just hid in the tent, watching the Goguryeo people outside the city pile up mountains of earth, waiting for Anshi City to collapse without attack.

The Princess of Silla looked at Lu Zhaoci in surprise. Only after marrying into the Tang Dynasty did she know the mystery of the Tang Dynasty. Only by following Lu Zhaoci could she feel the wisdom of Lu Zhaoci. Only by attacking Goguryeo could she understand the bravery of the Tang army.

, only now did she realize the terribleness of Lu Zhaoci. Yang Wanchun was considered a famous general of Goguryeo, but he was led away by the emperor. It seemed that Anshi City could not hold on for long. Goguryeo was about to be destroyed, and what would happen next?

Who? Silla, or Baekje.
