After the crown prince Li Jiancheng fled back to Daxing City, he was surrounded by Xue Rengao's 200,000 troops, and Li Yuan's father and son could only resist stubbornly in Daxing City.

Although the crown prince Li Jiancheng consumed most of the army in this battle, there are not many troops in Daxing City, but he can rely on the tall and strong city walls to hold on, and there will be no danger for a while. Besides, Li Shimin is still in Shanxi, he will come back to rescue sooner or later, as long as he holds on to the fierce attack that Xue Rengao started, Li Yuan still feels that there is not much danger.

Xue Rengao's 200,000-strong army attacked the city, thinking that he was very confident that he would be able to break through Daxing City in a short time. But it's one thing to have faith, but whether he can capture Daxing City or not is not decided according to his will.

This kind of siege battle was quite tragic, and many people died every day in the offensive and defensive battles of Daxing City.

Towards mid-April, Xue Rengao did not even break through Daxing City at the cost of nearly 50,000 casualties among his soldiers.

Xue Rengao felt a little unbearable, not because there were too many soldiers killed and wounded, but because there was almost no food and grass in his army.

Xue Rengao scavenged a lot of grain and grass along the way, but there were also a lot of people to eat, this is an army of 200,000.

The surrounding area of Daxing City has been looted by the Xue family's army, and there is nothing for Xue Rengao to rob anymore.

Xue Rengao was a little worried, and it would be a big trouble if he couldn't capture Daxing City for a while.

In fact, Li Yuan's life in the city was no better than him, Daxing City was crumbling, Xue Rengao attacked the city with his life, and the defenders in the city also suffered heavy casualties.

The army defending the city is getting smaller and smaller, and the continuous battle is very tiring, and the slightest carelessness will destroy the city and destroy the country.

But there is one thing that Li Yuan is stronger than Xue Rengao, at least he still has food to eat.

At this juncture, it's up to who can hold on to the end, and if you can't hold on, it'll be over. When their lives are at stake, Li Yuan's father and son in Daxing City will definitely persevere.

But Xue Rengao spent so much effort to trap Li Yuan in Daxing City, if he gave up conquering Daxing City now, it would not be his wish.

At this point, even if Xue Rengao doesn't attack the city, he has to go back. The army will kill people if they don't have food to eat, which Xue Rengao also knows in his heart, so he feels that the situation is a little serious.

The problem is that Xue Rengao is reluctant. It was not easy to besiege the old rival Li Yuan in Daxing City, seeing that great things could be accomplished, it was strange that Xue Rengao was willing to withdraw his troops like this!

Looking at the sparse soldiers of Li Tang's army on the wall of Daxing City opposite, Xue Rengao faintly felt that maybe he could capture it with more effort, and at present, the soldiers in Daxing City were almost consumed. Daxing City is almost at your fingertips.

Xue Rengao's eyes showed a hideous gaze, and he slapped his big hand on the tree beside him, and finally made up his mind.

"Pass my order, you must capture Daxing City in three days, and kill those who are afraid of war! Shoot back! Conquer Daxing City, and all the soldiers indulge for three days. ”

Xue Rengao gave a vicious order, and he decided to make a desperate bet.

However, what he didn't expect was that this order really worked, and the soldiers of the army actually sacrificed their lives to attack the city.

The Xue family's army bravely attacked the city not because of his two orders to kill, but because the allure of allowing the soldiers to indulge in Daxing City for three days played a role.

Xue Rengao's army has no military discipline at all. The soldiers who herded the sheep can be said to do all kinds of evil, Xue Rengao promised to indulge in the city for three days after the city was broken, and the evil of the power ignited the greed in the hearts of the soldiers.

This time is really enough for the army defending the city, Li Jiancheng himself personally went to the city wall to supervise the battle, there are dangerous situations every day, many times Xue Rengao's army rushed to the city wall, and Li Tang's army fought on the city wall, the situation is very dangerous.

Xue Rengao's army had been targeting the west and north cities with its main forces from the beginning of the siege, and the attack on the east gate was slightly weaker. However, only a small number of troops were placed outside the south gate to monitor, and there was no siege.

This can be regarded as a tactic of encircling three and missing one, and the main force of Li Tang's army is also arranged in the north and west cities, and the defensive strength of the east city is relatively weak. There are few soldiers in the army. It was impossible not to take care of the city wall, so Li Yuan recruited the disciples of the gate lord and his family to go to the city to participate in the defense.

The siege of the city by the Xue family's army for two consecutive days did indeed cause great danger to Daxing City. Xue Rengao did not care about death, and the number of Li Tang's army was also drastically reduced, and Li Jiancheng, who was in charge of defending the city, almost despaired.

But on the morning of the third day, Xue Rengao suddenly changed his tactics. During the assault on Dongcheng, a large number of troops were suddenly increased.

Xue Rengao's siege rhythm accelerated, and the Dongcheng army was taken by surprise, and Xue Rengao's army soldiers were able to stand firm on the city wall.

This is only one of the reasons, and the more important factor is that the army in the east gate is small, and most of the people are the children of the gate lords in the city and the defensive team composed of family members.

The gate valve is already dissatisfied with Li Yuan, and some of them tell their children to save their lives, don't care if his Li family's country is lost, whoever becomes the emperor is the same for them.

Therefore, when the army was about to be unable to withstand it, these people only symbolically resisted and dispersed in a hurry, leaving a small number of troops how to withstand Xue Rengao's army, and the loss of Dongcheng was inevitable.

Once there was a breakthrough on the city wall, it was quickly expanded by the Xue family army who climbed the city wall, and more and more soldiers boarded the city wall, and the eastern city fell.

When Xue Rengao's army opened the east gate, thousands of Xue family troops swarmed in and rushed into Daxing City.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the fall of the eastern city soon spread to the defending armies of the other city walls, and the Li Tang army, whose morale was affected, could no longer hold the city walls, and the northern and western cities fell one after another.

Moreover, the crown prince Li Jiancheng, who was commanding the defense of the city, was trapped on the city wall and killed by the Xue family army because he did not have time to evacuate when the city was broken.

It doesn't matter if you die, if you die a hundred, the province will see the country ruined and the family will die.

Standing outside Xicheng and watching his army rush into Daxing City, Xue Rengao was extremely excited. The city was finally broken, and Xue Rengao was also glad for his final decision.

It's good that I didn't evacuate, otherwise I would have regretted my death.

Li Yuan's old man is finished, and the land of Guanzhong will be the territory of the Xue family from now on.

The fighting in the city continued, but Xue Rengao was not worried at all, Li Yuan didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and he was almost a lamb to be slaughtered.

Even if there were a large number of casualties in the siege, although there were no statistics, Xue Rengao himself estimated that there were at least more than 100,000 troops in his hands, how many more did Li Yuan have? More than 10,000 troops is considered good.

It seems that Lao Tzu can stay in Li Yuan's palace tonight and sleep on his dragon bed, of course, his young concubines are also going to be slept by Lao Tzu.

Thinking of this, Xue Rengao's face showed an obscene smile, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth

"Report, our army has basically solved the Li Tang army in the city, and the army is currently organizing a siege of Li Tang's palace, and the battle will end in almost a few hours."

The soldier came to report that interrupted Xue Rengao's obscenity, and looked at the day, it was almost noon, well, you can enter the city now.

"Follow me into the city, and I will personally command the attack on Li Yuan's palace."

After the order was issued, Xue Rengao led the escort army to the west gate of Daxing City with great interest.

The capture of Daxing City made Xue Rengao very excited, and he walked majestically and highly, but what he didn't expect was how many eyes were staring at him in the surrounding darkness.

When Xue Rengao's siege battle entered the white heat, the Jiangnan army already felt that the fire was almost over, once Xue Rengao broke through Daxing City, I am afraid that the end of his Xue Rengao had arrived.

Qin Qiong of Tongguan sent people to keep an eye on him, and Pei Renji, who had already left Qishan and was hidden in the west, also sent people to keep an eye on him, paying close attention to the survival of Daxing City.

Xue Rengao is a little more ferocious and has some courage, but there is probably nothing else to do. That is, he ran into Li Jiancheng, if Li Shimin played against him, this guy would probably be finished long ago.

Xue Rengao only cares about conquering Daxing City, and he is also the commander of the first army, so he should have an understanding of the situation in the Central Plains, right?

This guy doesn't care about the situation in other places, and only cares about the Daxing City in front of him, how can he be invincible?

At this time, the chaos in Daxing City became a pot of porridge, and the rebellious army was raging everywhere, and people could be seen dying on the streets everywhere.

Li Yuan's imperial palace was surrounded, and Xue Rengao's men were violently attacking the imperial city, and it seemed that they would not be able to support it for long.

At this time, Xue Rengao came and scolded his subordinates to hurry up and conquer the imperial city.

His subordinates didn't dare to slack off, anyway, it was almost the same, and immediately ordered the army to attack in one go, and there was no stop until the imperial city was conquered.

Not to mention, Xue Rengao really worked hard when he came, and the soldiers mustered up their energy to attack fiercely, and they really overcame it.

The army shouted and rushed into the imperial city and rushed straight to Li Yuan's location.

Li Tang was completely destroyed, Xue Rengao sat on the emperor's dragon chair, and ordered his subordinates to find Li Yuan's imperial concubine, he wanted to see if there were any stunning beauties.

At this moment, a few soldiers ran in in a panic outside, shouting as they ran: "It's not good, the enemy is coming into the city."

Xue Rengao and his subordinate generals were immediately stunned, where did the enemy come from?

Xue Rengao was a little dumbfounded, he couldn't have imagined that he had just conquered Daxing City, and then a new enemy came, could it be that Li Yuan's rescue came?

"Tell me clearly, who is the army coming, is Li Shimin coming?"

"It's not Li Tang's army, it seems to be the army in the direction of Tongguan."

"Tell me the order to call in an army at once to intercept them."

"But our army was so killed that they all fled for their lives outside the West City."

Xue Rengao couldn't care about Li Yuan's concubines anymore, and hurriedly rushed outside the imperial city with his subordinates, trying to save the Daxing City that had just been captured. (To be continued.) )
