Chapter 921: The Great Trend Has Gone
"Kill!" The iron cavalry rushed into the city gate like a torrent, the cavalry opened the way, the spear was stabbed, relying on inertia, the Tang army that met the block did not wait to shoot, it was hit by the cavalry company, and the spear stabbed, and died.
In addition to the pikes, there are Modao cavalry behind, wielding long knives, cutting people when they see them, and they are murderous.
The Tang army inside and outside the city gate could not resist and began to rout.
Whether it was physical fitness, morale, personal bravery, sophisticated equipment, etc., the Tang army defending the city was inferior to the other party, and it began to rout as soon as it clashed.
The Tang soldiers have been holding on for so many days, they have already been exhausted, they have become tired, their morale is low, they have no feelings for Jinyang, their family and country and the like, it is completely a kind of mechanical obedience, and they have become numb.
When the city gate was blown open, all the Tang soldiers fell to the ground like a boulder hanging in the air, and they had no heart to resist.
It's finally coming to an end.
You don't have to defend this dead city endlessly.
After the Dahua cavalry poured into the city, they began to rush to several main streets, and the rumbling sound of iron cavalry sounded one after another in the city, and the buildings in the city trembled, and the torches swayed, and the light was bright.
On the way, they will also encounter the Tang army's blockade, and they will start street battles and fight fiercely.
Inside Miyagi.
Li Yuan met with Pei Lian, Li Shentong, Li Er and others, and the ministers of civil and military affairs who were close to him gathered in the main hall, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"The Dahua army suddenly attacked the city tonight, and there seems to be a counter-thief response in Jinyang City, the situation is precarious, ladies and gentlemen, how do you think you should protect yourself."
"Your Majesty, so far, you can only hold on to the end, mobilize the soldiers in each camp, as well as the Miyagi Forbidden Army, immediately go to block, suppress the rebels in the city, and defend against the invasion of the enemy army, once it is dawn, the enemy army will naturally retreat."
Li Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Even so, Jinyang City can't be harvested for many days, the grain and grass are urgent, the soldiers are out of stock, there are too many people starving to death in the city, the order is chaotic, after the beginning of spring, some families have begun to have a plague, if it continues like this, Jinyang will not be able to keep it sooner or later." ”
"Your Majesty must not be shaken, as long as you hold on for another month, the news of the Turkic attack on Chang'an City will come, if you succeed, Dahua will be hit hard, the army outside the city will naturally retreat, and our Jinyang will be saved." Li Shentong persuaded.
"Okay, just wait, if the Turkic attack fails, then we Jinyang, and then think long-term, whether to surrender or martyrdom at that time, and then decide" Before Li Yuan's words could be finished, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and the chief of the guard with a scout rushed to the gate of the palace in a panic.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation to report!"
"See me in the temple!"
"Whoa!" The chief of the guard got permission and dragged a messy scout into the Qinzheng Palace.
The scout was out of breath, and as soon as he entered the hall, he immediately knelt down and said: "Oh no, Your Majesty, it's not good, the West City Gate has been breached, please make a decision on it." ”
"The West City Gate has been lost" Li Yuan's face changed greatly, his lips trembled, and even his beard trembled.
"Lost!" Several civil and military generals in the hall also exclaimed, their eyes full of nervousness and fear.
Everyone realized that Li Tang was really gone.
Jinyang City is the last fortress they hold onto, and it is also the last barrier, once it is lost, there is no way to retreat, and what awaits them is either to slaughter the city and wait to be killed, or to surrender on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I will lead my troops to intercept it, and I will definitely annihilate the enemy troops entering the city and regain control of the city gate!" Li Xiaogong stood up and asked for his life.
"The generals will go too!" Chen Yanshou, the general of the left guard, clasped his fists and saluted.
Li Yuan couldn't care about anything else, nodded and said, "Go, mobilize men and horses, and recapture the city gate at all costs." ”
"Yes!" Li Xiaogong and Chen Yanshou walked out of the palace quickly.
Next, Li Yuan ordered Bing Shang, the general of the right Wuwei, to lead the forbidden army of the Wuwei Mansion to hold the gate of the palace.
The rest of the people waited in the temple and discussed countermeasures according to the military situation at any time.
After making some critical arrangements, Li Yuan took Li Er to the side hall of the backyard and said: "Shimin, this time I'm afraid that Jinyang will be difficult to protect, my father has already had a premonition, Li Tang is exhausted, now Xuanba is dead, your eldest brother Jiancheng has also been captured, I don't know if I live or die, Xiuning has long been gone, I'm afraid it's also more auspicious, only you are left under my father's knees, immediately take advantage of the chaos to break through, rush out of the city, and then go out of Yanmen Pass and go to the Turks." ”
"Father, if the sons and daughters do not leave, the national disaster is at the head, and the sons and daughters are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, how can they escape from the battle and survive in the world?" Li Er is also a courageous person, so he naturally refused to let go of his father and clansmen like this, and fled like this.
"Hugh succeeded! When has this been, and what a hero! Li Yuan scolded, and said solemnly: "Let you break through, is to retain the blood of the Li family, to give the Li family a hope, in the land outside the gate, with your ability, as long as you gather a group of people, you can quickly form a home, become a hero, and always become a disaster for Dahua, as long as you are well outside, even if you surrender for your father and become a prisoner, even if your eldest brother is captured and imprisoned, you still have a chance to live, there is a bargaining chip, if you follow the capture to death, our Li family will really be finished." ”
When Li Shimin heard these words, he faintly understood his father's deep meaning, which can be described as well-intentioned, this is also a way to contain Dahua, so that Dahua cannot immediately kill the Li clan, and will also use his family to negotiate and threaten himself who is out of the customs, so that there is hope that they can save their lives, and it will not be useless.
Think about Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Yu Wenhua and others, they have all been eliminated, those heroes who fought for the world in the past, in the end, they were all in different places, this is often in troubled times, the inevitable end of competitors, since Li Yuan has been the emperor, and then called a minister, he will also be wiped out at any time.
"Okay, Erchen break through!" After Li Shimin hesitated, he thought of the key to it, and decided to break through the siege and go to Guanwai, and when the time came, he would pull up a team, build a city, develop his forces, and rely on his own ability, I believe that in a few years, with the help of the Turkic forces, he will be able to go south again, and have the capital to be the enemy of Dahua!
