Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 349 Fierce Siege Battle
History has not changed much. Guo Ziyi did lead the Tang Fan coalition forces to the city of Chang'an at about the same time, but history has changed again. At this time, Chang'an City is no longer the Chang'an City in the original history, because Li Fei brought the cement to Datang. At this time, the Chang'an City Wall was [-]% higher than before!
When Tang Xuanzong fled and An Lushan captured Chang'an City, he didn't know whether he was planning for a rainy day or for what purpose.Ordered to conscript nearly 20 people around Chang'an City to burn cement to heighten and thicken the walls of Chang'an City.

As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, one can imagine that the city walls of Chang'an City were originally extremely tall and magnificent, but now they have been raised and thickened by a full 16%, what is the concept.If the city wall of Chang'an City was only 24 meters high at the beginning, it is now [-] meters high.

Among other things, the ladders carried by the Tang and Fan coalition forces now cannot reach the walls of Chang'an City at all, and need to be remade.

"Even if such a high city wall can be captured, how many elite soldiers will die!" Guo Ziyi's face turned dark, and his mouth was full of bitterness, but he only said this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it directly, for fear Affect the morale of the army.

Although the walls of Chang'an City are only [-]% higher than before, this [-]% makes it more than twice as difficult to attack the city.

"The rebels in Anlu Mountain actually abused the power of the people to expand the walls of Chang'an City to this point in a year." The nominal coach Guangping Wang Li Yu also had a bitter mouth.

"Wugong, Xianyang, and Tongguan have all been recovered by the imperial court. The rebels in Chang'an City cannot escape, and the Tang Dynasty will surely win!" Guo Ziyi always maintained a confident expression on his face no matter how bitter his heart was. No matter what, he has now arrived in Chang'an Under the city, no matter how high the price is, you must bite the bullet and attack it. Otherwise, if you fail to regain Chang'an for the second time, the morale of the whole Tang Dynasty will be hit too much. At that time, one will ebb and flow, and the Tang Dynasty really does not know when and when the rebel army will be wiped out, so Guo Ziyi loudly boosted morale, telling the soldiers not to forget that the rebel army has declined just because Chang'an City is tall, and Chang'an City is already an isolated city. According to the ancient theory, no matter how much you rebel against the army, it is impossible to resist for long in Chang'an City.

Encouraged by Guo Ziyi, the soldiers of the Tang army came to their senses and regained their high morale.

"Siege!" After rebuilding the siege ladder high enough, Guo Ziyi immediately ordered the siege.

Originally, when the soldiers approached the city of Chang'an, he should have launched the siege directly. At that time, the morale of the rebels was the lowest and the most chaotic. The morale of the anti-military forces has long been re-stabilized.

"Kill--" Thousands of Tang soldiers rushed towards the walls of Chang'an City.

"Boom! Boom!" The catapult also threw a huge boulder weighing hundreds of catties, and it hit the city wall with a bang. Some unlucky rebel soldiers were hit and screamed pitifully. The fierce siege battle began.

"Shhhhh-"

The anti-army soldiers on the city wall shot down a dense rain of arrows from children.

Many soldiers of the Tang army who were charging with the ladder were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, including the ladder they were carrying.

However, these soldiers of the Tang army were indeed the elite honed from the Hedong battlefield, and their will was amazing. The other soldiers of the Tang army who rushed up behind them lifted the ladder again without blinking their eyes, and continued to charge.

"Send the order to attack from several other directions at the same time, and disperse the forces of the rebels as much as possible." Guo Ziyi ordered to attack Chang'an City from multiple directions.

After all, the city wall of Chang'an City has been raised by 4%, and the difficulty of attacking is doubled. If you only attack from one direction, there are still [-] rebels. It is only possible to disperse the forces of the rebels by attacking at multiple points together.

On the other hand, Guo Ziyi also sent people to keep shouting at the rebels in the city.

"His Royal Highness Guangping and the Deputy Marshal have orders. Listen to the rebels in the city. Tongguan has been recovered by our Tang Dynasty. Chang'an City is now just an isolated city. You will not have any reinforcements, and the food will not last long. Continue to resist. Only There is a dead end, if you are willing to put down your weapons and surrender, the imperial court will definitely let you go—"

Guo Ziyi's plan really greatly affected the morale of the rebels, making the rebel soldiers terrified. Suddenly, the resistance was weakened by a few points.That's right, Tongguan has been recovered by Datang, and the reinforcements from the 'Dayan' outside the pass cannot enter. Chang'an City is just an isolated city, how long can it last?

Historically, Guo Ziyi relied on this strategy to influence the morale of the anti-army, and then the soldiers of the Tang Army easily invaded Chang'an City, and then recovered Chang'an City.

However, with the same comparison of strength at this moment, Chang'an City is not the Chang'an City in history. Anlu Mountain crazily recruited nearly 20 people to burn cement and make the city walls taller and thicker. Chang'an City is [-]% higher, and the difficulty of attacking is doubled.

Although the soldiers of the Tang army really took the opportunity to attack the city wall of Chang'an, because the wall was too high and the climbing time was longer, the number of soldiers who attacked the city wall was much smaller than in history, and it was impossible to quickly suppress the anti-army soldiers on the wall. Let the anti-army general An Shouzhong have time to react.

"Kill!" An Shouzhong was taken aback, and took his own soldiers to lead the way.

"There is a large amount of food stored in Chang'an City, which is enough for our army to use for more than a year. The Tang army cannot capture Chang'an City. The world belongs to our 'Dayan'! Kill Lian!" And An Shouzhong continued to pass down orders to appease the army by intimidating and profiting, and finally, after a fierce battle with Banzhu Duoxiang, all the Tang troops who had successfully climbed the city wall were driven down and all the city walls were taken back.

An Shouzhong wiped his head in cold sweat, almost losing Chang'an City.

At the bottom of the city wall, Guo Ziyi put down the binoculars and sighed deeply. He was only a little bit close to capturing Chang'an City.

This kind of strategy can only be used once, and An Shouzhong must strengthen his defenses later, and the rest can only be a strong attack.Needless to say, the price of a strong attack is absolutely huge. These elite soldiers who have finally been trained from the Hedong battlefield will not know how many will be left.

Guo Ziyi did not attack the city of Chang'an with tricks as in history, but turned into a real siege battle. Such a head-to-head offensive and defensive battle was extremely tragic. The blood flowing out of the dead body dyed the water of the Wei River red.
