So I re-read the article and it says "Yan victory"

the memes lied to me

I imagine it was considered a strategic Tang victory even though it resulted in a loss of the city, because without the time bought by the seige, the Tang would not have been able to put down the rebellion.

Also I learned a lot today and it's all terrible.

You really think someone would just go on the internet and lie?!
