Chapter 927: Tang Kingdom Descends
Jinyang is lost.
More and more Dahua troops poured into Jinyang City, with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the cavalry went on a rampage, breaking through the checkpoint blockade of the street and rushing towards Li Tang's palace.
The palace where Li Tang is located is expanded on the Jinyang Palace built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, where a lot of soldiers and armor are gathered and they are strictly waiting for the battle.
There were thousands of Praetorian Guards left here to make the last defense.
The sky was already hazy, and it was approaching dawn, and the sound of fighting was getting closer and closer, approaching Miyagi here.
Li Yuan and many ministers stood on the palace wall, watching the fires in the city continue to meander in, and the fighting in the streets became more and more intense, and a sense of powerlessness swelled up, feeling that it might be difficult for them to escape today.
Like Pei Lian, Dou Wei and others, they have a deep relationship with Li Tang and have many entanglements of interests, once Li Tang perishes, their family will also suffer a blow, and they will plummet from the power of the gate valve, unless, they can be reactivated by His Majesty Dahua, and they are not to blame for their crime of clinging to Li Tang.
But several other Zhongshu Sheren, Huangmen Shilang, Shangshu, etc., have different thoughts, they have no direct conflict with Dahua, even if Li Tang perishes, they can still continue to be loyal to Dahua, even if they are demoted and cannot enter the inner circle, but they will not lose their lives.
The vassal states perished, and some ministers and soldiers were rarely slaughtered, and most of them changed their allegiance.
Therefore, some people are not worried, but expect Dahua to break through Miyagi as soon as possible, so that they don't have to be afraid here.
"Your Majesty, Bin is in the city, is it a battle or a surrender?" A waiter surnamed Xue stood up and gave advice.
Li Shentong shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! At this time, what to talk about, Li Tang is dead, and everyone should be martyred! ”
"Martyrdom!" When some ministers heard this word, their faces changed, and they felt a chill all over their bodies.
Li Yuan stopped his cousin's recklessness: "Hugh is alarmist here!" ”
At this juncture, if the surrounding ministers and soldiers are too stimulated, it is likely to backfire, cause a mutiny, be transferred, and take the lead in beheading their Li family.
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing were closer, and a group of embarrassed officers and soldiers retreated, defeated like a mountain, and retreated to the bottom of the palace.
Some Tang troops knelt directly on the ground halfway, threw away their weapons, and didn't want to fight anymore.
"Disarm or kill!" The Dahua army shouted slogans, like a magic spell, and infected many Tang troops.
Those Tang troops who fled simply threw away their weapons and became surrendered troops, and the morale in their chests was all dissipated at once.
What they are fighting for these days, why their families are dying, vividly remembered, recalled in their minds, from numb resistance to bitter crying and catharsis, not wanting to fight anymore.
"We surrender."
"I don't want to die, I still have my mother, wife and children at home!"
"Enough people have died in my family, I can't die anymore."
A group of Tang Army men, kneeling together, their faces are like vegetables, their bones are as thin as firewood, these days they don't eat well, they don't sleep enough, their faces are mixed with sweat and blood, and they are embarrassed.
At this time, Xu Shiji took Wang Junyi and other generals and troops to surround him and approach the palace city of Tang Kingdom.
The two sides confronted each other, sabre-rattling, and a tense atmosphere was filled.
Thousands of Tang troops under the city, facing the Dahua army several times their own, their faces were like ashes, otherwise the soldiers were dominated by that kind of duty, they really didn't want to fight anymore, for this meaningless war.
The Tang Kingdom has gone in general and there is no way to save it.
Dongfang gradually spit out the white of the fish's belly, the neighing of the war horses, and the sound of the boiling voices are all converging.
"Lord Tang, my Majesty Dahua has a holy will to convey, if the Lord of Tang opens the palace gate and surrenders, he can forgive the people in the palace, the servants of the palace, the members of the Li Tang family, the officials and nobles in the court, and the people in the city can also be well settled. If they are stubborn and continue to fight, all the soldiers who resist, their families will be sent to the borderlands, and the times will be slaves, and Li Tang's family members will also be detained and tried, and they will all be questioned! ”
After Xu Shiji finished speaking, he looked at the head of the city and looked at the lord of Li Tang.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the people in the city, please make a decision as soon as possible!" There is a book from the Ministry of Industry to give advice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, for the sake of your and the hundreds of lives of the Li family, you should make a prudent decision."
"We are not afraid of death, loyal to Your Majesty, loyal to the Tang Kingdom, but Your Majesty will not be miserable for the sake of the soldiers of the three armies, please think twice!"
Some civil servants said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, and they thought about the people of Li Yuan's clan, for the people, and for the soldiers, but in fact, in Li Yuan's heart, they naturally knew what was going on.
These officials, not only want to save their lives, but also want to be a clear stream, loyal to the monarch before the country is broken, and there is also a side worth praising afterwards.
Li Yuan smiled coldly, leaned over to look at the confronting army under the city, and couldn't wait to jump down and fall to his death directly.
However, in the end, he didn't put his mind down, he had a few concubines, and he also had new flesh and blood, and he was old enough to have children and daughters, it was the time to enjoy the joy of family, Li Yuan didn't want to end his life like this, even if after being surrendered, life and death were unknown, but he was old, and he was different from Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Li Mi and others, perhaps, there would be a glimmer of life.
"Alright, open the gates and surrender to the Great Warner!"
"Your Majesty, by all means!" Li Shentong was anxious and persuaded hard.
"Is there any point in resisting now, look at the faces of those soldiers under the city, their faces are like vegetables, their glasses are sunken, how many nights they don't sleep endlessly, resist in turn, can't eat enough, don't sleep well, their families continue to starve to death, they were originally rich people in Jinyang, and they have fallen to this, it's me Li Tang who can't stand them, come down, leave some yin virtue, I don't want to see more people, because of me Li Yuan!"
"My Emperor Shengming!" Some of the courtiers bowed down at the head of the city and shouted.
The soldiers under the city also heard some of them, and knew that the Tang Kingdom had surrendered, their morale collapsed all of a sudden, and without the support of their will, the weapons in their hands fell to the ground, and the people sat on the ground in decadence, and some of the soldiers even cried with joy, holding their heads and crying.
The war in Jinyang is finally coming to an end.
