Chapter 669 is yours

The heavy armor Modao Battalion of the majestic sea marched forward with neat steps, and after forming a formation, the Modao Battalion was really like a heavy mountain, giving people an unbearable sense of oppression. Zhang Gongjin ordered the archers to release their arrows, and the feathered arrows were dense like flying locusts and shrouded towards the heavily armored Mo Dao battalion. But no matter how sharp the feather arrow was, it couldn't penetrate the heavy chain mail.

The cluster of arrows is stuck in the chain mail, and it is difficult to enter, at most, it will only shoot a small hole in the leather armor inside, even if it can hurt people, it will have no effect. The formation of the Modao camp is still tight, and when viewed from above, it looks like a large piece of boxy tofu cut out by a knife. But it's clear they're not tofu, they're a suffocating piece of steel armor. Under the white feathers in the sky, the steel armor still moved forward steadily.

The lightly armored infantry of the Tang Army could not stop the advance of the Modao Battalion at all, and under the rows of Modao, those Tang soldiers had no power to fight back. Even if someone could cut those heavily armored soldiers, no matter how sharp the horizontal knife was, they couldn't cut through the thick and strong armor.

Although the speed of the advance was not fast, there was no pause.

Xiong Kuohai walked in the middle of the front row of the line, and the steps of all the Mo Daomen to his left and right and behind him were in line with him. When he enters, he advances, and when he stops, he stops. This tacit understanding is not only the result of long-term training together, but also a cooperation that can only be achieved after dozens of bloody battles.

The knife rises, the knife falls.

The row of Tang soldiers in front of them was neatly chopped over, and the heavy and sharp Mo knife could easily split the person's body. Every time the Modao Battalion took a step forward, it would leave behind a stump and severed arm, and when the Modao Battalion's formation as a whole stepped over, only a layer of flesh would be left on the ground.

The Tang army was defeated and retreated, and it was about to reach the gate of Xuanwu Gate if it retreated again.

At this time, the Yanyun Army's brigade outside the city had already poured up, and the huge building cart that was slightly higher than the city wall slowly moved over, and the archers of the Yan Yun Army on the building cart began to cover the defenders on the city wall. Li Xian drew 10,000 archers from each battalion and 10,000 archers from the sailors, and smashed all the bed crossbows on the city wall into pieces with a stone-throwing cart.

The arrow array of 20,000 people cannot understand the shocking scene if you don't see it with your own eyes.

White feathers cover the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

The feathered arrows were dense and even collided in mid-air!

Dozens of building cars, as well as an array of arrows outside the city walls, poured down on the city walls in a very short time - hundreds of thousands of feathered arrows went out, and the corpses and wooden buildings on the city walls were covered with a layer of white!

If it weren't for the stone throwing cart to clean up the bed crossbow on the city wall, and if the archers of the Tang Army's city defense army were not smashed to pieces, it would be difficult for the archers of the Yanyun Army to form a suppression of such a scale, after all, the archers of the defending side had an absolute advantage, at least the range was farther than that of the Yanyun Army under the city.

With three volleys later, it was already difficult for the Tang troops on the city walls to form a counterattack. The infantry of the brigade lifted the ladder and erected it on the city wall, and the huge building cart continued to move forward and finally leaned against the city wall, laying wooden planks, and the infantry of the Yanyun Army on the building cart hit the city head like a tide. The Yanyun army, which had gone up to the city wall, began to clean up the remnants of the Tang army, and those who surrendered were not killed.

Near the city gate, dozens of Tang soldiers guarded a Tang general with gauze wrapped around his forehead.

"General, withdraw from the city, it's too late if you don't leave!"

A Tang soldier hurriedly persuaded.

Liu Hongji's face was roasted by the fire, and he looked particularly ugly. The gauze on his forehead was still oozing blood, but there was no trace of despair in his eyes.

He felt guilty, but more than that, relieved.

The reason why Yan Yunjun attacked the city wall so quickly was not only because of the huge power of the stone-throwing cart and the covering blow of the arrow array, but also because of one of his military orders. Just as Luo Shixin entered the city gate, he ordered the defenders on the city wall to withdraw, and thousands of Tang troops had already withdrawn to the city except where the military order could not be conveyed.

From the very beginning, he did not make up his mind to fight the enemy to the death.

He didn't know if he was right or wrong to do so, but he didn't regret it. He did this only to save more lives, and he did not have the slightest fighting spirit for this war from the beginning. Even if King Yan is not the emperor's concubine, this is also a fight between the Li family. Chang'an City can't be defended, even if there is no secret spy of the Yanyun Army in the city to blow up the city gate, it can't be defended. King Yan came prepared, if he didn't feel the same distress for the soldiers, how could he wait so long before starting to attack the city?

With so many sharp siege equipment, no matter how big the loss is, it is already doomed to conquer Chang'an. It is precisely because he sees through this that he is so negative.

The soldiers lost their lives for a senseless war, not worth it.

His guilt was for the emperor, and it was also for himself as a minister but he didn't want to be loyal. In fact, people often think that they are ashamed of something and some people, but they are only ashamed of their own hearts. Liu Hongji's current pain is understandable to no one except himself.

"Help me up."

Liu Hongji said in a flat tone: "I want to go home." ”

……

……

Every time the heavily armored Mo Sword Battalion of the majestic sea took a step forward, an extra layer of blood and mud would appear on the ground. The sound of a blade slicing through a bone and splitting a living person in two pieces is a sound that can give people goosebumps in an instant if they are heard clearly.

The shouts, the wails, the broken bones, the sounds of death. And the most unbearable thing is not the sound of death, but the smell of death.

The air is filled not only with the smell of blood, but also with a stench that doesn't go away for a long time when it gets into people's noses. People basically have incontinence before they die, and at the moment when Modao is on the sidelines, they often involuntarily overflow feces and urine in the crotch.

The smell of blood and feces are mixed together, and it's a smell that people will never forget.

The boots stamped on the ground, crushing not only the dead corpses, but also the feces as they stepped on. So when Wei Chigong next to Li Shimin got into the water in his boots, he would feel disgusted and want to vomit. The water is not disgusting, it is disgusting with the kind of wetness that is mixed with flesh and feces. Wei Chigong couldn't help but think of the feeling on the battlefield because of the water in his boots...... This feeling, as long as the people who have survived the battlefield, I am afraid that no one will easily forget it.

Combat boots stomp on the ground, stepping on a neat rhythm.

The Tang army was defeated and retreated, and retreated to the front of the Xuanwu Gate. At this time, the Yan Yun army had already captured the entire West Inner Garden, and the more than 10,000 Tang troops who were ambushed in the Yong'an Palace in the northeast of the West Inner Garden were also suppressed by Wu Tianxi, and they couldn't rush out at all. When the West Inner Garden was conquered, Li Xian transferred 5,000 archers to Yong'an Palace to support, and under the suppression of the arrow array, the Tang generals in Yong'an Palace had to raise their flags and surrender.

In just half a day, the West Inner Garden was broken.

This speed is staggering, you must know that when Li Yuan attacked Chang'an City, the Sui army did not let him in so easily, Li Yuan stepped on tens of thousands of corpses before entering this big city.

Now in front of Li Xian, there is only a Xuanwu Gate.

There is a Taiji Palace behind the Xuanwu Gate.

There is a dragon chair in the Taiji Palace.

On the dragon chair sat an emperor.

"Your Majesty......."

Gao Liansheng cautiously glanced at the emperor with a surprisingly calm face, hesitated for a moment and persuaded him: "If you don't let anyone enter the Taiji Palace, Zhang Gongjin and Liu Hongji won't be able to enter, if the city is broken...... The two of them can't enter the palace again, and it is inevitable that they will do something rude. And...... If the men and horses in the front of the West Inner Garden retreat into the Taiji Palace for rectification and then use them to defend the palace city, the troops will not appear thin. ”

"The defense of Taiji Palace is strong, if there are enough defenders, hold on until reinforcements from other gates arrive, and the thieves may not be able to take advantage of it."

Li Yuan glanced at Gao Liansheng, and his face was as calm as an ancient well. Gao Liansheng has never been able to understand why His Majesty the Emperor lost his temper so easily in the past, but now at this time, he can calm down as if nothing had happened.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never sat on the dragon chair except for the court meeting, but today he left the imperial study, entered the main hall, sat on the tall dragon chair and looked at the empty hall and was silent for a long time.

"Gao Liansheng"

"The Slave is Here"

"If you weren't a eunuch, I would have reused you."

"Slaves and maids just want to be able to serve by His Majesty's side."

"Gao Liansheng"

"The Slave is Here"

"Do you know where I lost?"

"Your Majesty didn't lose, as long as the two princes summoned the entire city of soldiers and civilians, the Yanyun thief may not be able to succeed."

"I lost, and if I lost, I lost."

Li Yuan's palm gently rubbed back and forth on the armrest of the dragon chair, feeling the temperature of the tentacles, the strength of his palm was so gentle, as if he was not caressing the cold and hard chair, but the delicate cheeks of the beauty.

"I lost because of ...... I never dare to face the facts, and when I have to, I tend to hesitate. I want to be a saint of the ages, and I want to create a foundation for eternity...... But now it seems that I am afraid that this ideal will be left to my descendants to do. And the result is not the worst...... At the very least, he's my seed too. ”

Li Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly: "I always think that everyone is in my calculations, no one should try to hide it from me, and no one should want me to admit defeat!" Maybe I thought too much in my heart, so that I was not decisive, but it was not as simple and direct as Li Xian's thoughts, he wanted to replace me as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty from the beginning, but I never thought about how to treat him. ”

"If Yan Yunjun enters the Taiji Palace...... Gao Liansheng will go out to greet Li Xian, I don't blame you......"

"The slave will not, the slave firmly believes that His Majesty is invincible."

"Invincible?"

Li Yuan smiled, waved his hand and said, "Now I don't have the heart to listen to you tell jokes...... You go and spread my will, all the concubines, subordinates, and guards in the harem lined up to meet him at the gate of the main hall after King Yan attacked the Taiji Palace. I wanted to see what kind of face he had in front of me as a victor. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Gao Liansheng let out a wail and slowly knelt down.

"What to cry about! Datang is still Datang, there is nothing to cry about. ”

Li Yuan slowly stood up and left the warm dragon chair he was sitting on. He walked down the steps slowly, carefully looking at every pillar and every floor tile in the main hall, looking very seriously, as if he wanted to remember the appearance of every place. His pace was slow, but unstable. With every step, his body trembled violently.

"I am the Emperor!"

Li Yuan, who walked to the door, raised his head and looked at the endless sky and muttered, "Even if you win, what can you do?" In the history books, I am still the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

At the gate of the West Inner Garden, the elite warriors stood on both sides of the street to welcome King Yan into the city. The soldiers of the Tang Army who had surrendered knelt densely behind, they no longer had weapons in their hands, and they lowered their heads that were once held high. The soldiers of the Tang Army who were prostrate on the ground, everyone's hearts were full of apprehension.

Li Xian, who rode into Chang'an City on a big black horse and wore black armor, slowly swept his gaze over the Tang army soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, looking at the palace gate not far away, his gaze was as calm as water, and his face did not change in the slightest.

He knew all along that he was going to enter this big city.

"King of Hedong"

Li Xian looked sideways at Li Chengde, who was walking side by side with him, and said with a smile: "You have to take a closer look, this is your capital." ”

"It's yours."

Li Chengde lowered his head and said humbly: "It will always be yours." ”
