"What does he care about now? If you don't close the door again, everyone will die together! Li Xiaogong scolded: "After the loss of the White Emperor City, the eastern barrier of the land of Bashu will be completely lost. The Zhou army could drive straight into the Sichuan Basin. Now the main forces of our army in the land of Bashu have been concentrated in the White Emperor City. If this city is lost, Bashu will no longer be able to defend it, and my Tang Dynasty's fertile country of abundance in the south will be lost! How do you want me to explain to Your Majesty? ”

Li Xiaogong did make a decision on the spot, but his decision was made late. The Zhou army that rushed to the front was all elite soldiers trained by Li Jing himself. These people are all masters of one to ten, and they are also like ironclad cavalry, all of them are wearing iron armor. These tiger and wolf soldiers rushed over, and the Tang army was trampled to death along the way, they can be said to have stepped on the bones of the Tang army into the city, and even Sun Fujia became their sword ghost.

When the Tang army at the head of the city saw that the enemy's iron cavalry had entered the city, they all panicked, and everyone thought about how to escape for their lives.

And just when they were panicking, a large number of Zhou infantry had already climbed the city wall along the ladder and fought with some of the recalcitrant Tang troops.

At this time, a tall, long-bearded, majestic middle-aged man, wearing a cyan Mingguang armor and a black cloak, accompanied by several Zhou cavalry, rode a cyan Aweibo war horse, and slowly walked towards the gate of the White Emperor.

When the Tang army on the city wall saw his appearance, they were all guessing, could it be that this was the master of the Zhou Dynasty Emperor Yuming, and Li Jing, the supreme commander of the Zhou army in front of him?

At this moment, the middle-aged man walked twenty zhang away from the city wall and shouted loudly in a loud voice: "All the Tang troops are listening: I am Li Jing, the commander of the Zhou army, and now my Great Zhou has unified most of the world, and only Li Yuan's pseudo-Tang is still surviving." Now, you have reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the White Emperor City is just around the corner. If you lay down your arms and surrender now, you can guarantee that you are fine, and if you are willing to submit to my Great Zhou, you will also be promoted and reused according to his future achievements! But if you stubbornly resist to the end, you will blame the commander and the soldiers of the Zhou army for being ruthless! ”

After hearing this, the officers of the Tang Army couldn't help but glance at each other, and their hearts were a little shaken.

Most of these people are subordinates of the Guanlongmen Valve. Although Li Yuan's Li Valve is the Guanlong Valve, Yu Ming is also from the Guanlong Valve. They are all thinking, although Li Yuan is also a hero, he destroyed the princes such as Xuju, Li Rail, Liang Shidu, Xiao Mill, etc., and occupied Guanzhong, Longxi, Hetao, Bashu and other places, but compared with Yuming, it is far behind. Why do you have to follow Li Yuan, who obviously has no future, instead of Yu Ming, who has a bright future?

Anyway, both sides are the Guanlongmen valve family, and it is not necessarily a shame to surrender Yuming!

As a result, many middle and low-level officers of the Tang Army threw down their weapons one after another, and then said loudly: "We are willing to surrender to Da Zhou and be loyal to Marshal Li!" ”

Seeing that their commanders had taken the lead in surrendering, all the Tang soldiers were demoralized, and they also expressed their willingness to surrender, and the weapons in their hands were also thrown to the ground.

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Let you traitors go to the Zhou army!" A certain family will never spare you! ”

With that, he pulled out the saber at his waist, raised the knife in his hand, and killed a Tang soldier who had just thrown down his weapon and surrendered.

His indiscriminate killing aroused the hatred of his soldiers, and even those who surrendered shouted: "This Li Xiaogong is so vicious, we might as well kill him as a gift to Marshal Li of the Zhou army!" ”

As a result, a large number of soldiers immediately looked at Li Xiaogong with unkind eyes. A moment later, the Tang soldiers who had just been killed by Li Xiaogong were killed by their companions with all kinds of weapons and killed him.

Li Xiaogong knew that he was no longer spared, and his heart sank, and he immediately shouted: "The time has come to sacrifice your life for the Tang Dynasty!" Heroes of the Tang Army, let's rush forward! Fight with Yuming thieves! ”

He immediately swung his broadsword and rushed forward, his figure drowned in the rebel army, and then gradually disappeared......

After the Tang army in White Emperor City was broken, the army was suddenly in turmoil and had no intention of resisting.

Although there were still some Tang Army officers in the city who were commanding the soldiers to resist stubbornly, how could they resist the onslaught of the Zhou soldiers who were several times their own?

Moreover, many Tang soldiers in the city had already defected and joined the side of the Zhou army, which made the resistance even weaker.

After the Zhou army gained the upper hand, the offensive became more ferocious, like a tidal wave. Under Li Jing's personal escort, he not only broke through the walls of the White Emperor City, but also quickly occupied two bunkers, allowing the cavalry to drive straight into the city. The Tang army had no escape, except for a small number of Tang troops who fled from the city gate on the other side when the Zhou army entered the city, the rest of the Tang officers and soldiers were either killed or surrendered.

And Li Xiaogong, the supreme commander of the Tang Army, led his own soldiers to fight to the death, and finally because he had no way to retreat, he was shot and killed by the archers of the Zhou army at the gate of the White Emperor City, which can be regarded as a glorious sacrifice for Li Yuan and the Tang Dynasty.

By the time Li Jing entered the newly cleared White Emperor City Guard Mansion and used it as his temporary command post, the sky was already completely dark, and the battle in the White Emperor City had all ended.

When he saw that the surname in the city was a little panicked because of the different owners of the city, and he was worried about being slaughtered, he couldn't help but smile slightly, turned to Wei Chi Jingde and said: "Jingde, pass the order down and post a notice for the people, just say that my Da Zhou treats all surnames equally, regardless of each other, even if they have funded the Tang Army before, they are not to blame in the past." But don't hook up with Tang Jun in the future! The laws of the Tang Dynasty in the past are all null and void, and this city should follow the laws of my Great Zhou! The army rested overnight and continued to attack Yunyang County early tomorrow morning! We will strive to win the whole of Bashu within one month! ”

After the capture of the White Emperor City, Li Xiaogong, the supreme commander of the Tang army in the land of Bashu, was also killed. In addition, the main force of the Bashu Tang Army died or surrendered as early as the first battle of the White Emperor City. The Tang army in each county was no more than 1,000 people, and even the Tang army in Chengdu was less than 5,000.

More than 200,000 Zhou troops, with the cooperation of naval warships, drove straight in, and swept Fuling, Yuzhou, Luzhou, Yibin, Langzhong, Leshan and other places in 20 days, and went straight to Chengdu.

On June 7 of the second year of Yongchang, Chengdu, the capital of Bashu, was occupied by Li Jing and his army, marking that Bashu fell into the hands of the Zhou Dynasty. And in the queen of heaven, another Zhou army, under the leadership of Wei Chi Jingde, captured the Jianmen Pass, held the northern gate of the land of Bashu, and also posed a serious threat to Hanzhong, which was guarded by the Tang army. This made Li Yuan in Guanzhong also a little panicked. However, he was no longer able to counterattack Bashu. At this time, he could only pin his hopes on the Battle of Luoyang. Pray that Qu Tutong can conquer Luoyang and bring miracles to the Tang Dynasty.

……

At this time in Luoyang, the war also entered a white-hot process.

The sound of killing outside the city shook the sky, and the Tang army launched an attack again, which was the eighth attack they launched after they arrived at Luoyang City. Although the first seven failed, they also brought heavy casualties to the Zhou army stationed in Luoyang. Of the 70,000 Zhou troops in Luoyang City, there were only more than 10,000 people left, and more than half of them were killed or wounded.

A few days ago, when Li Jian, who was left behind in Luoyang, was commanding at the head of the city, he was hit by a stray arrow and died. As a result, the city wall was almost broken by the Tang army. Fortunately, at this critical moment, Shumeng, Red Sleeves, Dong Li, Yu Yuqing, Li Xiuning and other women rushed to the city tower in time to help in the battle. When the Zhou army saw that the queen and several imperial concubines were coming, Fang's morale was greatly boosted, and under the command of the daughters, he finally drove the enemy off the city and saved the day.

In this way, Shumeng, Red Sleeves and other daughters can be regarded as officially taking over the command of Luoyang City, gritting their teeth and dealing with the Tang Army, trying to ensure that the city is not lost.

"Sister Red Sleeves, how long will it take for Your Majesty's reinforcements to arrive?" Shumeng asked anxiously as he stood at the head of the city.

Half a month ago, Yu Ming sent someone to send a secret letter, saying that he personally led 150,000 Zhou troops back to Luoyang. According to Cheng Cheng, his troops should have arrived today.

"I heard that Xuchang has passed, so it should be soon." Li Jian wiped the sweat and blood from his face.

"Spread the message of the mourning family, first call the forbidden army in the palace to come up and support! Otherwise, we may not be able to withstand this round of attacks. Shumeng's beautiful face showed a wry smile.

She never thought that these Guanzhong Tang troops led by Qu Tutong would have such strong combat effectiveness. And dared to attack a strong city like Luoyang with all his might regardless of casualties, and it did cause heavy casualties to the defenders of Luoyang.

It's just that there is only one day left, as long as one more day holds, Yuming's 150,000 army has arrived, and these Tang troops under Qu Tutong are not afraid.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the camp of the Tang Army, the heavy drums sounded again. Each drum beat seemed to hit the hearts of the Zhou soldiers, and the drum gradually became rapid, like a life talisman.

In the previous seven attacks, although the Zhou army suffered heavy losses, the Tang army also suffered heavy casualties, with more than 70,000 casualties of the 200,000 Tang army, reaching one-half of the entire army, and the number was twice that of the Zhou army. After all, the defending side is still much more convenient than the besieging side.

And Qu Tutong's combat style is steady and steady. He may not have any tricks, but he also has no obvious flaws or loopholes for the enemy to catch. For a fortified city like Luoyang, he has no good way.

Originally, he could have adopted the method of long-term siege, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city were forced to surrender due to lack of food. But recently, he got bad news: Yu Ming is leading an army of 150,000 from Badong back to Luoyang to support.

Therefore, Qu Tutong must take Luoyang before Yuming arrives on the battlefield, otherwise he will face the danger of being attacked on his back.

This attack of the Tang army was replaced by troops under the command of Qu Tutong's sub-Qu Tuquan. It's just that this force has been strengthened. Qu Tutong also transferred 5,000 people from his most elite direct pro-army. Now the Chinese army has 50,000 people, which can be said to be the most powerful attack force in the Tang army.

"Rush! For Datang! Attack these damned Zhou troops! ”

Standing at the forefront of the army, Qu Tuquan roared loudly.

He also grabbed his weapon, which was a sharp spear nearly two feet long.

Qu Tuquan strode towards the Luoyang city wall standing majestically in front of him.

The fierce battle begins immediately!
