southeastern corner of the fortress, gradually approaching the wall. Meanwhile, the external wall was constantly razed by the garrison. Li
Daozong was injured in the battle. The Tang used soldiers and an unknown number of laborers (possibly war captives) to build the rampart and the top of the rampart came to only a few feet away from the fortress. It overlooked the city. Fu Fuai, one officer of the Tang Army, stationed his troops on the top of the rampart. However, Fu Fuai left the camp privately and the rampart suddenly fell, and the Goguryeo army occupied it. Taizong was very angry and put Fu Fuai to death. After that, Tang tried to regain the rampart for three days but failed. On the third day, the Goguryeo army reinforcements arrived and Taizong had still not captured the Ansi Fortress. In addition, because the battle was fought in the

When the Ansi fortress attack came to a standstill, Tang was in a hurry so the Tang Army attacked the west side of the fortress as many as six or seven times per day. One night, hundreds of
Goguryeo soldiers climbed out of the fortress and attempted to attack the Tang army. When Taizong heard about it, he called up soldiers to make an emergency joint attack which killed dozens of Goguryeo soldiers, and the rest fled back to the fortress.

Goguryeo in the face of opposition inside the Tang dynasty. The assassination of Yongnu of Goguryeo and other officials by Yeon Gaesomun was used to justify invasion. For the next year, he began preparations for an invasion, preparing troops, ships, and siege engines, and

The Tang forces grew weary and considered the idea of bypassing the Ansi fortress to attack other parts of
Goguryeo, which was rejected due to the threat Ansi posed to the advancing Tang forces. Under the leadership of Tang's prince Li Daozong, Tang forces attempted to build a rampart in the

Afterwards, the Tang forces decided to attack Ansi
Fortress, a fortress-city with a population of around 100,000, invading the fortress on 20 June. Texts of the Joseon dynasty give the name of the chief of Ansi Fortress as Yang Manchun. In response to the Tang invasion,

This, along with the cold winter approaching as well as arriving Goguryeo reinforcements and the lack of supplies, forced Tang troops into a retreat. Over 20,000 Goguryeo troops were killed during the siege.

The Goguryeo forces lost over 20,000 people, with over 36,800 troops being taken prisoner during the early stage of combat. The casualties of the Goruryeo troops during the siege itself are unknown.

The Minzhong Temple is known today as the Fayuan Temple in Beijing. The temple was built by Emperor Li Shimin to mourn and salvage the lost souls in his failed attempt to conquer Goguryeo.
