In the early morning, teams of Zhou cavalry approached a quiet camp one after another. There were no less than 20,000 people stationed in this Goguryeo camp. If it were ordinary, it would be impossible to approach it easily. However, now the Zhou cavalry came to the gate of the big camp, took a deep breath, and rode in.

There were already some Zhou soldiers in the camp inspecting. As the pioneers, these people first confirmed that there was no problem in the camp before they could let the follow-up troops come in.

The soldiers who entered the camp then saw a creepy scene.

What is the scene of hell like?

Yang Xuangan has always been interested in this issue. Of course, he is not a bloodthirsty evil spirit. He wants to create hell on earth, but he is very curious about the hell scene described by monks.

Now, he knew, looking at the corpses on the ground in front of him, although it was a scene of a battle, Yang Xuangan felt a chill on his back.

At this moment, like other soldiers, he was in the Goguryeo camp, which had more than 20,000 people. Now, except for a very small number of people who could escape, most of the others were dead.

Just arrived on the ground, the bodies were everywhere.

The battlefield was originally full of corpses. Yang Xuangan would not be afraid of the battlefield where corpses were everywhere, and there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, but the scene in front of him was different.

These dead people had healthy limbs, and even had no obvious scars on their bodies. There was no blood flowing into rivers, no broken limbs and broken arms piled up like mountains, nor were they burned corpses, but they were all terrified.

They all had their faces ashen and fell everywhere in various strange postures, dying with their eyes open.

Yang Xuan felt the death of these people, as if they were drowning people.

It seemed as if the entire military camp was suddenly flooded by water, and the people inside had no time to escape, and then they were covered by the flood and drowned alive. This is why the current tragic situation is so chilling.

But it is impossible for flooding the camp. The terrain here is quite high, and even if there is a large flood, it is impossible to flood. However, the deceased looks like drowning. Yang Xuangan walks through it and truly feels what hell is on earth.

At this time, many Zhou soldiers were dealing with the corpse. First, they had to collect weapons that fell all over the ground, and then peel off the armor worn by the deceased. Because the deceased's posture was exaggerated and the corpse was stiff, it was not easy to do it.

The curved and stiff limbs made it impossible for the armor to be taken off by others in a normal way, so the soldiers used an axe and a saw to dismember a corpse.

Seeing the soldiers peeling their armor, Yang Xuangan seemed to see the little ghosts in hell peeling the dead, chopping off their limbs, and throwing them into the cauldron to cook. Listening to the "chopping meat" and "sawing bones" that made his scalp numb, he felt goose bumps all over his body.

It's morning, there is no snow and cloudy, and the sunlight leaks from the cracks of the clouds and sprinkles on the ground. But Yang Xuangan only feels that the military camp is full of yin energy. Looking at the terrifying dead people, he always feels that the next moment these dead people will turn into drowning ghosts, jump up and hold the living people to bite them.

Yang Xuangan coughed a few times and turned to a place where the marching supervisor Yuwen Weihan, who had just entered the camp, was in a daze with a bad expression.

Seeing Yang Xuangan coming, Yuwen Weihan smiled reluctantly, then looked at the dead body in front of him, and remained silent.

Yang Xuangan knew that this person had a bad face, not because he was in a bad mood, but because he was frightened by the scene that looked like hell. However, he didn't vomit at all, so he was a little courageous.

You can't speak easily at this time, otherwise if you say the wrong thing, the other party thinks that you have a sarcasm, and you may not have good results in the future. Yang Xuangan would not make such a mistake, so he briefly reported the situation and quickly took on something and ran away immediately.

In just one night, this Goguryeo army with more than 20,000 troops was over, which means that Anshicheng would have no foreign aid in the next period of time.

The initiative has returned to our own hands. Whether we want to try to attack the city next needs to be discussed carefully, but Yang Xuangan's focus is still on the mysterious army.

He had already seen the power of the other party's magical power with his own eyes, but he did not know what the other party's magical power was, so he could only guess.

All signs show that the opponent's magical power is poisonous smoke, and it needs to detour the wind direction of the enemy camp, and the troops from the wind direction several miles away must leave the camp to hide, so as not to be affected by poisonous smoke.

This poisonous smoke can make people die in pain, but it is hard to guard against.

The emperor's many methods make people unable to develop any other thoughts.

As he thought about it, Yang Xuangan couldn't help but think of his father's words.

My father said that when my son is good at making weapons today, his outstanding military achievements over the past ten years may not be related to those strange weapons. Unless the other party loses his mind and makes use of tricks, it is impossible for anyone to defeat the other party on the battlefield.

If anyone overestimates himself, or rebellion, in the face of the strange weapons in the hands of the emperor, he will inevitably end up failing.

As he thought about it, Yang Xuan sighed. Over the years, he had heard some vague news and knew that some people had complained about the emperor's decision to make the Yuchi family queen and the prince who gave the Yuchi family the crown prince.

The reason is very simple. Many people are afraid that Empress Yuchi will settle accounts in the autumn and avenge their parents' family. They are also worried that Prince Yuchi will rehabilitate his mother's family after he ascended the throne.

There was a stream of public opinion that was abolished in secret, but it had never taken shape.

Yang Xuangan now understands the reason. When he has many methods today, no one dares to touch the rebellious scale and dares not argue about the despotic queen.

So his family cannot get involved in such a thing, otherwise they will not know how they die.

......

Another day later, early in the morning, the Anshicheng defenders discovered that there were gradually gathering outside the city. It seemed that the Zhou army was ready to attack the city. They were ready to fight and wanted to attack the invading enemy head-on.

The city walls of Anshi City are solid, with all the city defense facilities, with no less than 30,000 troops garrisoned. There are many people who can help defend the city. The city has sufficient food and grass, and there are many arrows, rolling wood and stones, so they are not afraid of the Zhou army coming to attack.

Yesterday, the large camp of friendly troops outside the city fell and seemed to be wiped out. Although the Anshi City defenders did not know what happened, they did not intend to surrender. The Zhou army's strength was comparable to theirs, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

However, as time passed, the Anshicheng defenders gradually discovered that something seemed to be wrong, because the Zhou army outside the city did not prepare for siege equipment.

There are neither rushing cars nor a large number of rushing cars. There are ladders, but not many, and the catapults that can constantly shoot stones have not been raised up.

If the Zhou army wanted to pile up soil to attack the city, but there was no clue, the defenders of Anshicheng were puzzled.

The opponent's troops are about 30,000 to 40,000, but in fact they are not superior in strength. It is a bit arrogant to force the city to attack by relying on one-to-one comparison of troops.

The Anshicheng defenders did not attack because they were afraid of the other party, but because they demanded stability and made defending the city the top priority.

Now that the other party has begun to attack the city, it must be a supporter, so new reinforcements have arrived?

It is very likely, but the defenders of Anshicheng were not afraid. Even if the Zhou army had ten times more troops than them, they had the confidence to defend the city.

In the past two years, the Zhou army has raided Liaodong and has repeatedly attacked under Lin'an City, but has not launched a decent attack. I think the other party also knows that they will not be able to break the An City, and even if they are captured, they will not be able to defend it. Therefore, they only destroy the farmland outside the city and withdraw their troops when the autumn is about to end.

Now, even if the opponent attacks hard, he will still not be able to defeat him.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were very confident about this, but when they saw the huge heads appearing over the suburbs of the north of the city, they could no longer calm down.

The huge heads, staring with bloody eyes, opened their bloody mouths, accompanied by the north wind, flew towards Anshi City with braziers. Although the speed was slow, it could be seen that these big heads were gradually approaching the city.

The incredible scene made the soldiers of Anshicheng defenders blank their heads, saying that the legendary demons and ghosts appeared in the world, driven by the Zhou people, became demon soldiers who siege cities and plundered the land, and were about to start a massacre of Anshicheng.

Many Goguryeo soldiers were so scared that their legs were weak and they knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to the demons and monsters floating in the air, trying to beg the other party to let them go.

As the gongs and drums sounded, countless Goguryeo soldiers gathered at the top of the city, arrow towers, bent their bows and arrows to counterattack the demon army that was about to pounce.

The north wind blew, and it was biting cold, but the flames that bloomed in Anshi City made the air hotter.
