921, Flying Thunder Cannon Failure

Within two days, the army rushed to Anshi and prepared to attack Anshi. Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi, also received the guarantee of Yuan Gai Suwen that they would bring 100,000 reinforcements within two days. As long as they could hold on for two days, they could get the support of reinforcements, so they would win. As for how to defend, Yang Wanchun was already prepared. Yang Wanchun also had some understanding of the explosive pack of the flying thunder cannon, so he could pat his chest and say that he could definitely defend Anshi.

Jing Wen still knew nothing about this, so Jing Wen came with the army. Li Shimin did not follow him, because Li Shimin wanted to rest now. Jing Wen was often very leisurely, so he was envious and jealous by Li Shimin, so Li Shimin claimed to change his position with Jing Wen. Li Shimin was in charge of the General Staff, while Jing Wen was responsible for supervising the war. Therefore, Jing Wen was sent to Anshi to supervise the war in a very tragic manner, and could not bring two beauties with him, so he could only follow the army to attack Anshi. So now Li Shimin, the general, is leisurely, while Jing Wen, the Minister of Military Affairs, is starting to work hard.

"Anshi is ahead? I really didn't expect that the emperor actually hid, but I was going to face this nemesis!" Jing Wen complained.

Jing Wen had known this in later generations. Li Shimin, who was originally in history, suffered a great loss here. Li Shimin, who had previously led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Goguryeo. As a result, he suffered a great loss in this Anshi City, so he was forced to withdraw his troops. So Anshi is Li Shimin's nemesis, and it can even be said to be the biggest nemesis in the Tang Dynasty. After all, so many civil and military generals were unable to conquer Anshi. Isn't that the nemesis of the Tang Dynasty? As for this, if Jing Wen remembers correctly, the guard here is Yang Wanchun. After all, those who can defeat Li Shimin and make Li Shimin suffer a great loss are not ordinary people, so Jing Wen certainly remembers it clearly.

"Don't worry about him! No matter what tricks you have to defend. As long as the city wall collapses, what else can you do?" Jing Wen thought to himself.

Jing Wen is still very confident about his flying thunder cannon, that is, the flying thunder cannon is enough to blow up the city wall, so that the city can be defended without any danger. Then they cannot defend it at all, so Jing Wen can also calmly attack the city, so how can he be afraid of defending the city?

"Boy, I'll give you a chance this time. Don't drop the chain!" Jing Wen said to Dugu Mou next to him.

Dugu Mou is Jing Wen's cheap brother-in-law. This time Dugu Xin and Jing Wen were proposed by Jing Wen. This time he followed Jing Wen to attack the city, which means he wanted to achieve military achievements. Dugu Mou is now a regiment commander and a middle-level officer. If he did not have military achievements, it would be difficult to get promoted. So Dugu Xin created a chance for his cheap brother to make contributions, that is, to make contributions with Jing Wen, so that he could be beneficial to the promotion after the war. So Dugu Mou followed him and wanted to conquer the Anshi City together.

"Brother-in-law, I will definitely work hard. I will never let my brother-in-law down!" Dugu Mou said as he climbed up the pole.

Soon, Jing Wen brought more than 10,000 troops outside Anshi City. Looking at the not-so-tall Anshi in the distance, he also muttered in his heart. This city was not tall. In history, hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped in the Tang Dynasty, making hundreds of thousands of troops unable to take a step forward. This can be said to be extremely tragic. Now it is his turn to attack Anshi, so you have to be careful. However, Jing Wen believes that under the attack of absolute strength, the enemy cannot protect it at all.

"Prepare for the flying thunder cannon!" Jing Wen said.

Soon, the flying thunder cannon began to prepare because it was still following the original tactic. It was to use the flying thunder cannon to blow up the city wall, and then the infantry rushed into the gap in the city wall, kill the enemy, and occupy the city. As for this method, it was the easiest and most effective method, so it was very easy to solve.

"Start!" Jing Wen shouted.

"Smack it..."

More than a dozen thunderbolt shells flew out of the cannon barrel.

On the city of Anshi, Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi, looked at the shells flying from afar and sneered.

"This is another trick, I've been prepared for a long time!" Yang Wanchun said.

Yang Wanchun looked at the shells flying from the sky, not only did not feel nervous, but stood there without leaving. When the other soldiers saw that their city lord was here, there was no tension, and immediately felt much more relieved. Although according to the original plan, they had a way to deal with the enemy's cannon, they were all very timid. Because this powerful cannon could blow people to pieces, although they were left on the city wall, they were still very scared. But obviously, even the city lord Yang Wanchun was not afraid, so what was he afraid of, a soldier?

The shells began to fall onto the city wall, and the explosive packs began to smoke, emitting bursts of sulfur. However, Yang Wanchun was not nervous. There was actually an explosive pack next to him, but he was not nervous.

"Splash water!" Yang Wanchun said.

"Ba"

A basin of water was poured onto the explosive bag beside Yang Wanchun, and the lead wire on the explosive bag was suddenly extinguished. More than a dozen other explosive bags were also treated like this. Once the explosive bags landed, they were immediately poured with pots of water, and then the lead wires were wet one after another and stopped burning.

"Hmph, thanks to a Taoist priest, he had told me that this kind of thing is most afraid of water. As long as I splash water, this thing will not be able to explode!" Yang Wanchun said calmly.

"Still it go ahead. If the Tang army's weapon comes, then let them attack, and then we will splash water. Anyway, we have a lot of water and are not afraid of any enemy weapons. We also have to collect these things and let our Taoist priests study them to see if they can be made. If they can be made, then we can also attack the Tang army in turn!" Yang Wanchun said.

Soon, the Goguryeo soldiers took away these wet explosive packs and prepared to store them for their Taoist priests to study. As long as they were researched, they could also be used in turn to attack the Tang army and cause serious damage to the Tang army.
