Martial Sage

The clouds were shrouded in smoke, and the weather for the past two days was windy and rainy and extremely unstable.

The sky was gloomy and enveloped the earth, and burning arrows nailed the corpse and rolled up black smoke into the sky.

Arrows resembling migratory locusts rose again into the air, past the city head where the word Cangyan could be seen, and hurled straight into the city.

The corners of the eaves of the house and the railings of the long street were all over with the trembling of arrow feathers.

The school Wei Meng Wei, who insisted on staying and did not want to evacuate, sighed as he watched as there were fewer than three hundred soldiers left.

"Hold it up!"

"Wait for this; the grain and grass are burned out, and our mission is considered complete!"

"The great King Gaisuwen will see our sacrifice! The entire Goguryeo people will also remember our name!"

All the soldiers in the color squad struggling to carry the shields in their hands, leaning in front of them, hiding under the battlements and shivering.

The city head was already covered by the arrows of the Great Tang scholars. If you want to defend it firmly, it has become an illusion. The only thing you can do is to be able to drag on the city head for a while, and to defend the city gate for a moment is considered an effort.

"General, I heard... I heard that Tang Bing can eat people, let's...will we also become..."

Rumors are always unstoppable, especially about such strange and strange things. When the three scouts came out of the mansion, such horrible stories spread like wildfire among the entire bureau.

Meng Wei glanced at the soldier angrily and sighed.

"Fuck your mother!"

"Hold for a moment, and the grain will burn for a moment! Datang's grain and grass will be reduced by one point, which will also give Datang an extra chance to withdraw troops quickly!"

When the voice fell, there was a thumping sound at the gate of the city.

"Can't stand it! General!"

A slightly panicked voice came from the gate of the city.

Meng Wei's heart tightened, and he suddenly looked towards the gate of the city gate.

The former sturdy city gate had already become a little distorted under the impact, making a dull and painful sound.

An arrow fell near him, and the soldier with the order subconsciously picked up the wooden shield, blocked it for a moment, and sighed.

"Lieutenant Meng, the people who don't want to flee, are already ready! We are willing to coexist and die with the city!"

"no!"

An irritable cry resounded across the city for an instant.

The roaring words stopped at the first moment. Meng Wei's hand holding the sword trembled, his lips tightly pressed and glanced at the soldiers of the Great Tang who were spreading under the city, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a hoarse voice.

"Let them... hurry up..."

...

In the Kuoye Battle, the Datang Army soldiers injured more than 5,000 people, which was the worst loss since Tang Hao led his troops.

The escape of the heavy hammer soldiers was considered a wise move. However, according to the information from the scouts, this group of soldiers went away from the direction of Anqing City, which made Tang Hao a little surprised.

After unfolding the map and searching for a long time, Tang Hao didn't see what mystery hidden in the direction of the heavy hammer soldier's withdrawal, so he simply let it go and proceeded to advance so as to meet with Datang's 70,000 infantry.

Coincidentally, in this Cangyan City, which was heavily stocked with food, the area that was supposed to be heavily guarded, the soldiers stationed at the top of the city were sparse, few thousand.

Two rounds of projectiles had already killed most of them, and the remaining soldiers were stubbornly resisted under the leadership of a school lieutenant named Meng Wei.

Wu Tong beside him looked up at the guards who were hiding from the corner of the city to avoid arrows, and he was also quite surprised.

"Do all the people in this city have abandoned the city and fled?"

"How can these dead men resist stubbornly and struggle fearlessly?"

Looking across the arrow-filled city head, Tang Hao looked at the attic and from time to time the generals shooting arrows down.

"Our Datang cavalry soldiers ran over, and almost all the military formations facing us outside the city were destroyed under our iron cavalry. Now the soldiers of Goguryeo dare not rush to confront us."

"The Goguryeo army is known as 150,000 soldiers. With our infantry in the line, I am afraid that I dare not easily support Cangyan City."

"But this guard is interesting, knowing that we are coming from afar, there will be insufficient grain and grass, burning grain, and other things can be done."

Wu Tong snorted coldly.

"The defeat has been decided. Such things that hurt others and detriment oneself are nothing more than an increase in the burden of the country."

"It's just that no one would have thought that such a military town would be guarded by a school lieutenant."

Shaking the horse's rein, Tang Hao smiled faintly.

"This city was supposed to be stationed by generals, most of them abandoned the city and fled because they thought it had no more reinforcements."

"But speaking of it, this Goguryeo has no shortage of loyal people."

Hahaha.

A hearty laughter came from Wu Tong next to him.

"Don't you think Grandpa Tang moved his compassion again, he meant to accept the defeated general?"

Slowly shaking his head, Tang Hao's eyes became firmer.

"Even if he wants to surrender, I don't want to accept him. The defeat of the heavy hammer has been determined, the defender has escaped, and the defeat is only a matter of time."

"He has a few thousands of people, fights alone, doesn't have the slightest sense of defensiveness, and can burn food and grass, but he wants to use this meaningless war to show his own talents."

"Even if we withdrew our troops and did not attack, the city will definitely fall into crisis due to insufficient food and grass."

Taking a long breath, Tang Hao sighed.

"He has done absolutely nothing about burning grain and grass, and I don't know what more terrible things will be done if I keep it."

Slowly waving his hand, Tang Hao moved slowly.

"Pass the order, blast the city gate!"
