Chapter 303 Yan Gaoqing's Defeat

Early on the third morning, the anti-army began to attack the city again.

However, Yan Gaoqing still did not see any signs of reinforcements coming to rescue. Yan Gaoqing was desperate, and he didn't even know how to appease the other soldiers guarding the city under his command.

"Why don't you come to rescue?" This is something that Yan Gaoqing couldn't understand no matter what, and it is also the ultimate reason for his grief and anger.

There are not many arrows reserved in Changshan City. Although it has been manufacturing these days, the speed of arrow manufacturing is far from the speed consumed. After all, it may take half an hour to create an arrow from the body to the arrow to the entire process of arrow manufacturing, but it only takes one breath to shoot it out.

The fierce offensive and defensive battles in the past two days have almost consumed 90% of the arrows.

The third day's offensive and defensive battle had just begun, and the defenders shot out the last reserve arrow.

"Sir, all the arrows have been consumed. If reinforcements don't come, the soldiers will not be able to stop them." A general came to Yan Gaoqing anxiously and said.

Yan Gaoqing looked sad and angry. The reinforcements refused to come. What could he do? He still couldn't figure out why Wang Chengye refused to bring reinforcements to rescue Changshan. Once Changshan fell, Wang Chengye was a hundred miles east of Changshan. Can he escape the counterattack of the anti-army?

If you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, you will be sad and angry. Yan Gaoqing still insists on resisting the siege of the anti-army.

The fierce offensive and defense not only consumed all the arrows, but even the soldiers guarding the city suffered heavy casualties.

In order to defend Changshan City, Yan Gaoqing personally commanded and killed the enemy on the city wall. Many people in Changshan City also spontaneously came to help Yan Gaoqing defend the city.

This moved Yan Gaoqing so much that tears flowed out.

Look at how the people of Changshan City opposed An Lushan to the Tang Dynasty. The situation was so good, but was Wang Chengye timid or had other selfish intentions? Why did he just refuse to come to rescue Changshan City? He was unfaithful and unfaithful!

"Puff!" Yan Gaoqing held a sword and killed an anti-army soldier who climbed the city wall with his own hands.

Although he was over 60 years old and had gray hair, the Yan family was a family in Hebei for hundreds of years. The descendants of all generations not only inherited literature but also martial arts, but also produced many governors or prefects. Yan Gaoqing and his cousin Yan Zhenqing were each the prefects of the state. Yan Gaoqing learned a lot of martial arts since childhood and became stronger. At this time, he was the sixth anti-army soldier who was beheaded by him.

Yan Gaoqing's old and bravery has inspired the morale of many defenders and the people who spontaneously helped defend the city.

However, without reinforcements, the morale of Yan Gaoqing and Changshan military and civilians could not last long. It was just a battle of trapped beasts. After all, it was difficult to stop the attack of two anti-army generals, Shi Siming and Cai Xide and 20,000 anti-army elites.

"Their arrows have been used up, and it will take a long time!" Shi Siming saw that there were no arrows shot down from the Changshan City walls, and immediately knew that the arrows stored in Changshan City had been used up.

"Take this opportunity to capture Changshan City in one fell swoop, and pass the orders on the whole army to launch the most fierce offensive!" Shi Siming had a strong battlefield vision, and at a glance he knew that the opportunity to capture Changshan was coming.

Immediately, all the six thousand cavalrymen in the anti-army pressed under the city wall of Changshan to shoot arrows on the city wall. Thousands of infantry gathered under the city wall and continued to climb the city wall through the ladder.

"Swish swish swish swish--" Arrows were like rain. These 6,000 anti-army cavalry were all experienced and had superb archery skills.

A defender soldier was holding a stone and just exposed his upper body. Before the stone was thrown down, an arrow hit his chest. The raised stone hit his head instead, and his face fell down with blood.

Like this guardian, there are many more guardians.

Without arrows, the defenders could only fight back with stones and rolling wood. Even the anti-army cavalry who were shooting arrows more than ten meters to the city wall had no choice but to be suppressed by the rain of the anti-army cavalry. Some anti-army soldiers began to successfully climb the city wall.

These anti-army soldiers are elite soldiers who have fought for a hundred battles. After successfully climbing the city wall, their fierce individual qualities were immediately exerted. On average, three to five soldiers in the defense were killed by Yan Gaoqing and other defenders to kill an anti-army soldier who climbed the city wall, so that the morale of the defenders became worse and worse.

Although Yan Gaoqing took the defenders to fight hard on the city wall regardless of his own life, there were no arrows to suppress the anti-army archers. More and more anti-army soldiers who successfully climbed the city wall were killed, and they could not be killed at all.

"Ah--" About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Gaoqing's hand had become weak and was slashed by a rebel soldier with a knife and was seriously injured.

"Sir, I'm injured!" a soldier exclaimed.

Yan Gaoqing was injured, and the morale of the defenders became even lower. He was killed by the anti-army soldiers who kept climbing up the city wall and retreated step by step. He actually tended to be driven out of the city wall by the anti-army soldiers.

"Changshan may not be able to defend it anymore!" Yan Gaoqing was desperate. He knew that under such circumstances, Changshan City would be destroyed in a short while, and the reinforcements he was looking forward to were still missing.

Yan Gaoqing had no idea that in a small town thirty miles east of Changshan City, Wang Chengye had been waiting here for almost two days with his 20,000 Tang soldiers.

The reason why Wang Chengye would rather wait in this town for nearly two days and refused to save him was because Wang Chengye had already reported his great contribution to the uprising in various prefectures in Hebei to the court to transfer flowers and trees to him, and he was hoping that Yan Gaoqing would die, and of course he would not save Chang Shan.

Now, when Wang Chengye heard the scout sent back to report that Changshan was about to break the city. Not only did he not feel anxious, he was secretly happy.

Leading the uprising in more than a dozen Hebei prefectures and returning to the Tang Dynasty, he would be able to win at least one county duke and his career will be smooth in the future, so Yan Gaoqing must die!

Wang Chengye thought that when Changshan City was broken and Yan Gaoqing died in battle, the anti-army army would be exhausted and casualties would be large. If he led the army to attack, the fisherman would benefit. If he could defeat the anti-army in one fell swoop, he would be the best. If he could defeat the anti-army in one fell swoop, he would not defeat the anti-army. At most, he would have a brief battle before retreating back to Hedong. It would be better to tell the public that he had fulfilled his responsibilities of "leading" the rebels in various prefectures in Hebei.

Because Wang Chengye was desperate to save him, he was about to enter noon.

The anti-army soldiers gradually captured the city walls, killing the defenders to retreat to the city.

Soon, Changshan's city gate was also opened from the inside.

"Kill!" Shi Siming and Cai Xide personally led the anti-army cavalry and a large number of anti-army infantry into the city. It was inevitable that Changshan was captured.

Yan Gaoqing organized the remaining defenders to fight and retreat, but the defenders could not even defend the city walls. How could they resist the anti-army cavalry that had already rushed into the city? Shi Siming led a team of anti-army cavalry to rush into pieces and then faced each other.

The situation was over. Yan Gaoqing wanted to commit suicide, but because of his right arm, he failed, but instead was captured by Shi Siming.
