The other side.

By the time Lu Wentai figured out what was going on, Gao Changguo had already lost seven or eight cities one after another......

this day.

Ko Wentai convened the ministers of cultural relics and urgently discussed countermeasures.

"What do you think we should do with this situation right now?"

The civil and military ministers all stopped talking......

What else can you say at this time?

Datang's current combat effectiveness is not at all something that manpower can face.

There are several generals here who have seen the power of black powder bombs before.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the wrath of heaven!

He watched as an unlucky soldier shattered before his eyes......

He was lucky enough to save his life, but he lost an arm completely.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and ran away first, he wouldn't have been able to stand here.

But in the past few days, he has also begun to plan to run away......

Gao Changguo must not be able to stay any longer, otherwise he will definitely become a prisoner......

Seeing that everyone didn't say a word, Ko Wentai's face turned black all of a sudden!

"At the critical moment, they all pretended to be dumb?!" Ko Wentai said angrily: "What does this king want you for?!" ”

At this moment, the battle report from the front came.

The Tang army once again won three cities, and they were rushing towards the royal city at an unabated speed!

After reading the battle report, Lu Wentai stumbled under his feet, and leaned on the bookcase in a gloomy manner.

"Why, why?" Lu Wentai was unwilling to say: "Could it be that the foundation laid by the ancestors will be cut off in my hands like this?" ”

"Your Majesty......" The prime minister said cautiously: "According to the battle report, the Tang army is still very benevolent to the people. For the sake of the people of this world, or we will ......"

"Shut up!" Ko Wentai immediately said angrily: "This king must not just cut off the inheritance of his ancestors!" From now on, the city is closed and prepared! ”

Most of Gao Changguo's troops were concentrated in Wangcheng, and Ko Wentai felt that he still had some chances.

Regarding the heavenly thunder and heavenly soldiers mentioned in the battle report, Li Wentai didn't believe it at all.

In his opinion, these are just rumors from those who are afraid of being beaten, in order to cover up their incompetence!

Anyway, the royal city has sufficient reserves of grain and grass, and it is not without opportunity to close the city and prepare for war!

Although defeating the Tang Army is a bit of a fool's dream, at least it won't be too ugly.

At least we can keep the inheritance left by our ancestors!

A month later.

Li Shimin led the army and came to the Gaochang Royal City.

Thinking of this experience, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He suddenly realized that the wisest thing he did was not to have a bad relationship with Kusawa.

Otherwise, today's scene is afraid to be staged in Chang'an City......

And at this moment, his understanding of black powder is getting deeper and deeper!

The meaning of this thing is definitely cross-generational!

It has completely changed the way of fighting wars from ancient times to the present, and it will become the norm to win more with less in the future.

And a landslide victory!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Caozawa's big sniper again.

Although the range lethality of that thing is not as good as that of the Black Powder Powder Trebuchet, that thing is convenient!

If the siege war is changed to a field battle, the effect of the trebuchet is immediately greatly reduced.

If the enemy scatters and flees, the mobility of the trebuchet will certainly not be able to catch up.

When the time comes, the way of fighting will return to the traditional mode.

And then there's the range and accuracy of the big sniper's pervert!

Think about it.

The people on their own side went to Galari and smashed the opponent out of sight!

If the two armies are at war and give the other party's commander or something, no one can stand it!

As soon as the commander died, the morale and combat effectiveness of the enemy army absolutely plummeted!

And these two things are just taken out by Kusawa's eyes.

And what about the ones he didn't take out?

And what kind of terrifying power will it have?

If nothing else, let's talk about the plane that Li Shimin has always been thinking about.

He hadn't seen the real thing, but he knew that it could fly into the sky, and that was enough!

If you can master the sky this year, you will be completely invincible!

I'm beating you in the sky, and all you can do is stare dryly!

If there is such a divine object, then there is really no place in the world where the Tang army can't go!!

Li Shimin clenched his fists and put these messy thoughts aside for the time being.

These things can't be rushed, and it's useless to be in a hurry.

It's better to dispose of the current Gao Changguo first, it's the right thing!

With the appearance of the Tang Army, the Gaochang Royal City was completely chaotic!

After the people learned about Tang Jun's actions before, the people wanted to run away.

They also heard that the Tang army treated the people well.

Flee to those cities that the Tang Dynasty fought down, and you will be spared the scourge of war.

As a result, Ko Wentai came to a lockdown......

Now they are hiding at home one by one and trembling, and they have greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the koji family in their hearts.

These people at the bottom don't care what happens to the emperor, they just want to live a stable life.

But now because of the lockdown, I have to accompany Lu Wentai to die.

Yes, Datang was indeed kind to the people before.

But with Ko Wentai's current posture, this matter will definitely not be resolved peacefully.

If you really fight with a sword and no eyes, who can guarantee that you will survive?

Inside the royal palace.

Ko Buntai gathered a group of strategists and was discussing countermeasures.

After all, war is changing rapidly, and all kinds of possibilities have to be taken into account.

Now think about a few more possibilities, and you will have a better chance of winning in the future.

I plan to have some better ideas later, and immediately pass them on to the generals guarding the city gate.

"Your Majesty don't need to be too alarmed." A strategist said: "The Tang army is indeed very powerful, but they only brought 100,000 people this time. ”

There are also more than 100,000 defenders in the King City of Gaochang, coupled with the advantage of defending the city, it is not so easy for the Tang army to capture the city with the same people!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can drag the Tang army while asking for help from the Turks." Another strategist said, "Presumably, those Turks are happy to help with this. ”

Gaochang is not too far away from the Turks, and the envoys of the Turks have come to Gaochang more than once before.

Regarding the alliance with the Turks, Ko Wentai is actually a little excited.

But he was afraid that he would anger Datang after doing so, so he has been delaying until now.

Everyone knows what the so-called alliance is.

If you turn around and really attract the Tang army because of the alliance, the Turks may not be reliable.

After all, these guys have a criminal record.

Didn't Li Yuan also form an alliance with the Turks after the founding of the country, and all kinds of good things were really sent to the Turks.

But the result?

As soon as Li Shimin abdicated his father's filial piety, the Turks were killed outside Chang'an.

If it weren't for Li Shimin's heart-pounding empty city plan, it's really hard to say what would happen later!

I wonder if the Tang Dynasty is gone now......

But now that the Tang army has come to the house, Ko Wentai naturally has no worries about this.

Anyway, it's already like this, and you're still afraid of a ball?!

Ko Wentai immediately decided to secretly arrange a team of men and horses to go out of the city and move rescue troops to the Turks!

Although Wangcheng has now been surrounded by the Tang army, he is not without a way out.

Just below his dormitory, there was a secret passage leading to the outside.

This secret passage is really not short, and it can successfully avoid the sight of the Tang army.

It can only be said that life is impermanent.

Before Ko Wentai could act, there was a rumbling sound in his ears!

Although it doesn't sound very loud from a distance, you can still hear a little thunder.

Ko Wentai's heart suddenly sighed!

Because he remembered that the thunder in the war report was mentioned!

Originally, he thought that those rumors were just false rumors, but now it seems that he is wrong......

Ko Wentai immediately didn't care about discussing any countermeasures, and rushed out on his horse!

If he doesn't see what is going on with his own eyes, he can't be sure.

The advisers and guards were frightened, and begged him not to go.

But it didn't work......

As a result, not long after Lu Wentai left the palace, he saw a small soldier coming on a horse in a panic.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!" The little soldier climbed off his horse and crawled: "All the city gates have been lost, and the Tang army has entered the city!" ”
