The Dahua army attacked the city, surrounded on three sides, rolled and killed, and suddenly the city was up and down, lost and flew around, and many soldiers fell in a pool of blood at every moment.

"Kill-" The archers defending the city have not shot many enemy soldiers, and the Dahua vanguard army has already approached the city, and the siege equipment such as ladders, flying bridges, nest cars, pointed heads, and rushing cars are dragged by straight ropes, and the servants shout trumpets to transport a siege equipment to the city, and the army is as strong as a mountain.

Chang'an City is majestic, the main wall is six zhang high, there is a female wall on the main wall, the female wall is built with bricks again, the battlement between the brick stacks is the lookout hole and the shooting port of the guards, there are city towers, corner towers, watchtowers on the city wall, stand at intervals, thousands of soldiers are crowded in the corridor of the city wall, and use all kinds of defending tools to carry out counteroffensives.

Throwing stones, boiling oil, boiling soup, bows and arrows, rolling logs, etc., the Dahua soldiers who were close to the city were soon attacked by the overwhelming offensive and suffered heavy damage.

At this time, the Dahua army outside the east and west city gates, adding up the catapult artillery carts, all of which were pottery urns filled with black powder, after igniting, they were thrown out and smashed on the city wall, which had been inside the city wall, and exploded countless iron beads and iron sheets, and many Tang soldiers were injured in the random flight.

Although this lethality was not fatal at once, it was able to sweep across the area, and many soldiers were wounded, whether minor or serious, and all of them hid backwards, taking the opportunity to flee to the wounded and sick camp to escape the war.

This kind of explosion shocked the Tang army and suppressed the morale of the defenders in the city.

The generals Xu Shixu and Xiahou Duan, who defended the city, commanded the army, and they were still holding on, and they followed Li Yuan to raise troops from Taiyuan, so they had great feelings for the Tang State, and they really planned to live and die with the city.

"Kill—"

At this time, the city of Chang'an shouted and killed, and the Dahua black pressure bow and arrow phalanx continued to shoot at the head of the city, covering the tide and erecting ladders and siege chariots to storm the city wall and the city gate.

However, the Tang army was still resisting, and the soldiers in the city were constantly walking back and forth, carrying instruments, walking and archery, holding hooks and sickles to push the ladders, and constantly throwing rolling logs and stones to the city.

From afar, there are constantly half-climbed human bodies falling down the city, falling into a bloody corpse, broken ladders, corpses piling up like mounds at the root of the city wall, and blood flowing like streams.

Li Xuanba personally put on armor, climbed to the head of the city, led the troops to kill the enemy, his martial arts are extremely high, his fingers are a three-foot Qingfeng, although he does not have an advantage in length, but the shot is like lightning, many warriors who climbed the city head have been killed by him with a sword.

Of course, his personal bravery is limited, and he can only be invincible within a certain range, but the siege range, at least a few miles, no matter how many people kill, they can't change the tide of battle.

In this day's fierce fighting, the Dahua army did not use all its strength, otherwise, each other's casualties would be greater.

Luo Zhaoyun didn't want to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of himself, if he took Chang'an City through a bloody battle, not only would his elite troops suffer heavy casualties and kill too many defenders, but it would also be not conducive to resolving the hatred and anger of the people in the city after occupying Chang'an.

After all, many of these defenders are strong men in the city, one person represents a family of people, involving more relatives, so if tens of thousands of Tang troops are eliminated, of which 10,000 Tang troops come from the city, then at least more than 10,000 families, tens of thousands of household residents, will hold a grudge against Dahua soldiers, plus their relatives and friends, this is a resentment that is difficult to erase.

Therefore, Luo Zhaoyun plans to use ingenuity to attack the city today, just to put pressure on the Tang army, deter, and attack the west, and the real main force of the siege is the elites and assassins who continue to infiltrate Chang'an City through the tunnels.

Of course, relying on thousands of elites, it is impossible to quickly chisel the stone bricks of the city gate in a short time, but with explosives, it can be done in one hand, and it is like a bamboo.

The Li Tang royal family, as well as those generals and ministers, never imagined that the Dahua army had already had a clever plan for Kecheng.

However, as soon as this city is broken, Luo Zhaoyun will definitely order to re-block the tunnels and leave no more hidden dangers, because this Chang'an City will be his imperial city in the future.

In the afternoon, the army was withdrawn, with thousands of casualties, and it was useless to keep attacking hard, and it was withdrawn in the middle and replaced with a new army to temper its blood.

The next day, Dahua made a truce, and there was no need to continue the attack, but continued to shoot arrows into the city to persuade him to surrender.

Three days later, Laihu'er arrived with an army and brought more than 40,000 horses, so that the army outside the city reached 150,000 or 60,000 horses.

The Tang army in the city was even more pessimistic and full of despair for defending the city.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng's face was very bad, and he was worried about the destruction of the city at any time, and he already had loyal followers of generals and strategists to persuade him to leave as soon as possible.

Li Wengan, a confidant and strategist, said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, we should evacuate earlier, otherwise, it will be difficult to break through, and as Dahua continues to increase troops and exert pressure, the soldiers in the city resist defending the city, and if this continues, it is easy to cause a mutiny." Some generals are already showing signs now, and it is very dangerous to gather together and storm the city gates, meet the Dahua army outside the city, or force the palace court. ”

Other strategists and generals also persuaded one after another, and Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "The city is not broken, how can His Highness retreat?" Otherwise, wouldn't Chang'an be handed over? ”

Right guard general Lu Shaozong said: "Your Royal Highness is here to hold on, it is of little significance, even if you can lose some of Dahua's troops, but people are alive, the source of soldiers is endless, the entire Guannei, Hexi, and Longyou are Dahua's territory, they can recruit hundreds of thousands of troops, we are here to drag down his tens of thousands of horses, the impact on it is not heavy, it is better to withdraw with some elites as soon as possible, otherwise, on the way, we will encounter Dahua layers of ambushes, and it will be difficult for us to leave early." ”

Li Jiancheng was still hesitant, and at this time, Li Xuanba rushed over from outside.

"Brother Wang!" Before Li Xuanba arrived at the main hall, he shouted loudly.

Li Jiancheng got up to greet him: "Xuanba, why are you in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" ”

After Li Xuanba came in, he said: "I was in retreat just now, but suddenly, on a whim, I felt a killing aura, there seems to be a bloody disaster tonight, immediately gather the most elite Imperial Forest Army, and we broke out of the Xuanwu Gate overnight!" ”

"Just abandon the city and leave?" Li Jiancheng was a little puzzled.

Li Xuan said domineeringly: "I practice the Ziyang Palace Mental Method, after reaching the level of innate Gang Qi, sometimes I can perceive the blessings and misfortunes, as the so-called autumn wind has not moved the cicada, I feel uneasy, I feel that something must happen tonight, but I can't predict what it is, I only have a premonition of boundless blood and killing, maybe there will be a catastrophe tonight, we have to leave overnight, and we have a trace of vitality, only bring henchmen and the Imperial Forest Army, don't alarm the army defending the city, so as not to cause a mutiny." ”

Li Jiancheng looked at the third brother's solemn face, not like a joke at all, his body was cold, and he nodded: "Okay, we will withdraw tonight, the Dahua army will never think of it, we should be able to break through!" ”
