At night, the Tang Dynasty gathered its army outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the shield bearers went first, climbed the ladder, and attacked first.

Xin Baijiang and others, who were in charge of the general attack, led a thousand warriors to break through the city first.

These 1,000 people were the elite team under the Tang Dynasty when they were in Lingnan, and they were also his guards, not to mention their martial arts, but they were also well-trained.

The shield-bearers had not yet climbed halfway, when the torches were shining brightly at the head of the city, and in the midst of the whirring, the wooden cannon stones rushed down, and the attack was blocked.

The Tang Dynasty stood in front of the handsome platform and beat the drum in person, with a finger of the Xuantie sword, tens of thousands of feather arrows shot at the head of the city, and the number of wooden artillery stones falling down suddenly decreased in an instant.

Then, Tang Dynasty glanced at Li Bai beside him and asked him to beat the drum instead of him, he jumped in the air on the handsome platform, jumped off a distance of seven or eight zhang high, and landed steadily on the body of the electric horse, which did not move at all, and neighed arrogantly.

The two thousand guards behind the Tang Dynasty shouted in unison, "Good!" There was a look of worship in his eyes!

Everyone knows that if you change an ordinary person, you will fall from such a high distance, and you will be seriously injured if you don't fall to death, but General Tang is doing nothing, and his tall figure is like a fallen leaf, this light skill is indeed shocking.

The Tang Dynasty clenched his fists majestically, and then only heard the sound of "clang", the Xuantie sword was unsheathed again, pointing to the Xuanwu Gate Tower: "Pass my order, Shangxiang, if the forward soldiers can't attack the city tower within an hour, they will all be beheaded!" ”

"Yes!" The herald gave the order as if it were thunder, and immediately an attendant put out an incense case and burned it to calculate the time!

The Tang Dynasty army has always been true to its word, saying that it is beheading, and if it really can't be attacked, it will be beheaded all.

As soon as the soldiers of the 1,000 forward battalion heard that the Tang Dynasty had given such a death order, they immediately set up the ladder and climbed up with arrows and cannon stones.

Sheva led an army of 30,000 to attack Zhengyangmen, and saw that the place of the West Palace was mostly mausoleums, and Li Longji guarded the weakness of the overstretched guards, and attacked without a fatality, but also to reduce the resistance of Xuanwu Gate.

……

The battle was already in Li Longji's prediction, and the armies of the two sides soon engaged.

But what's worse is that before the time to inject incense, Zhang Qiu and Qiong ran panting to report: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the enemy's offensive is too strong, and the bandit leader Tang Chao personally pressed the formation, and his vanguard has already landed in the city with fifty people." ”

"What?" Li Longji's whole body trembled, but he quickly forced himself to calm down and shouted, "It's okay! I will go to Xuanwu Gate in person, and I must strangle the enemy who landed at the head of the city! ”

He gritted his teeth in these few words.

He knew that it was time for life and death to live.

At this moment, it is the time when he Li Longji is the weakest, if he is attacked by the vanguard soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the Forbidden City will definitely be lost, and the general situation will not be good at that time.

He has always had an elite guard of 3,000 people by his side, sending Lu Xun, Yang Jian, Ma Zhengzhang and others to guard outside each gate, and the purpose of his mobile guard is to support the attacked city gate at any time.

He knew it was time for this force to strike.

In the short time that Zhang Qiu and Qiong asked him to support, another 500 forward soldiers landed at the head of the city and engaged in a fierce white-knuckle battle with the defenders to see if a gap was about to be opened in the city wall.

But at this time, Li Longji arrived.

When he arrived, the Heavenly Sword flickered, and he had already killed three strikers in a row.

The three thousand guards behind him swarmed up, and immediately resisted the impact of the vanguard of the Tang Dynasty, cutting off the vanguard soldiers who were ascending the city into two, and between the wave of Li Longji's sword, seven or eight more soldiers who landed at the head of the city died.

Seeing that Li Longji was so powerful, the forward soldiers who landed at the head of the city were invariably connected together, forming a formation back to back, and holding on to the guards rescued by Li Longji.

According to rough estimates, there were four or five hundred forward soldiers at the head of the city, but they were surrounded by Li Longji's guards, and the front and rear could not be connected, and the situation was very dangerous.

"Don't panic, everyone, I'm coming!"

With this shout, Xin Baijiang led more than two hundred forward soldiers to the front, and the previous four hundred people rounded together, forming a formation, the Tang Dynasty's army was well-trained, although at a disadvantage, but not panicked, the shield hand formed a circle around to resist the attack of cannon stones and feather arrows, and under the cover of the shield hand, the archers and attackers began to counterattack, and the attack of Li Longji's guards was immediately stopped, even with Li Longji's martial arts, if he wanted to kill, it was not easy, and it was not like the previous slaughter, The circle moved slowly, killing to the edge of the city, and receiving the forward soldiers who were about to land on the castle tower.

Xin Baijiang knew that as long as the forward soldiers could occupy a corner of the city and the army would enter the city, the Forbidden City would be broken.

But what's worse is that under the countless wooden artillery stones, it is extremely difficult for the forward soldiers under the city to take a step forward, Zhang Qiu and Qiongde Li Longji personally resisted the attack of the forward soldiers, and immediately organized a counterattack, condescending, taking advantage of a lot of advantages.

The Tang Dynasty saw that in a short time, the dead bodies under the city wall were sleeping, in addition to landing on the city wall, almost half of the rest of the 1,000 forward soldiers died, and there were many casualties of other soldiers, with a smile on his face, he knew that Li Longji must have arrived in person, otherwise, how could he resist his 1,000 well-trained elite soldiers!

Ay! I didn't want you to be cannon fodder in the Tang Dynasty, I regarded every soldier in the Three Thousand Guards as a brother, and it was a pity to die one, not to mention that there were hundreds of people who died, how could I not feel distressed, but there was no way to do it!

The terrain of the Forbidden City is too dangerous, and if you don't desperately grab the city, there is actually no way to break the city. Once the sun and moon are extended, our army's grain and grass will not continue, and Li Longji's Qinwang's soldiers will arrive, but it will be the death of my Tang Dynasty!

"Pause the attack!"

Tang Dynasty resolutely issued the fate of suspending the attack, and shouted: "Where is the special letter? ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"I order you to lead an army of 20,000 people to continue to attack the city, and you must find a way to rescue Xin Baijiang who rushed to the city tower, and set up the banner of my Tang Dynasty here, you put on my armor and clothes, even if I am here to supervise the battle, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Come on! This is my Darkiron Sword, take it! ”

"Yes!"

Zhuan Xin quickly changed into the armor and clothes of the handsome, beat the drum himself, raised the Xuantie sword high, and launched the order to attack again.

Tang Dynasty led his 800 personal soldiers to immediately mount their horses and go straight to Shenwu Gate.

……

Sheva and Li Bai were in charge of the battle on the Western Road, attacking Xizhimen, and happened to meet Guo Ziyi leading Ma Zhengzhang and Yu Chaoen.

"Haha, the emperor is really clever, knowing that the Tang Dynasty is extremely cunning, he will definitely lead a large team of men and horses to attack the Xuanwu Gate with loopholes in the city defense, absorb the main force of our army, and secretly will definitely send Sheva These fierce generals to attack my Xizhimen, and now it is true."

Sheva and Li Bai's soldiers are of course elite soldiers, and the Tang Dynasty's strength in Xuanwumen is almost the same, and it is also a thousand forward soldiers who first break through the city, under the supervision of Sheva and Li Bai, a thousand forward soldiers rushed to the city with their lives.

Sheva and Li Bai took the lead.

With these two masters personally breaking through the formation, the losses suffered by the Tang Dynasty's army were much smaller than the casualties of the Xuanwu Gate, which was personally supervised by the Tang Dynasty.

But what kind of person is Guo Ziyi, a master of the transformation realm, and he has been prepared for a long time, and his ability is shown at this time. Although the soldiers under his command are not as good as the soldiers under Sheva and Li Bai, they know how to form a formation, and they are at the head of the small city, fighting in formation, archers, shield players, sword and axe hands, and they are deployed in rows, and they actually resist Li Bai and Sheva's attacks wave after wave.

The head of the city was narrow, Guo Ziyi's department occupied an advantageous area, and as soon as the soldiers' formation was unfolded, although Sheva and Li Bai were brave, they could not break through for a while.

The two deeply admired the Tang Dynasty.

This is what the Tang Dynasty predicted about the battle. He felt that although Xizhimen was not very dangerous, it was not difficult to capture it.

Guo Ziyi's move made up for the lack of his own troops with a formation, making it difficult for the 50,000 troops led by Sheva and Li Bai to form a landing, and it could not play a role.

Ma Zhengzhang and Yu Chaoen are naturally not weak, they are both enemies of Li Bai, Guo Ziyi is the enemy of Shewa, and for a while, the flesh and blood on the tower of Xizhimen City are flying, shouting and killing, and thousands of soldiers are fighting in the battle of forgetting their lives.

However, such a battle can be divided between the winners and losers in a desperate manner.

Most of the troops led by Guo Ziyi are old troops who have been fighting with him for many years, and Lu Xun and Yang Jian are not weak, and they are all elite soldiers in their own mansions, although they don't know Guo Ziyi's formation very well in a hurry, but the martial arts of each of their soldiers are amazing.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty and Tianbao, the country was fine, the frontier war could not afford to do anything, and the imperial court was repeatedly disarmed, leaving only the troops of the Jiedu envoy and the Shence army, that is, the Yulin army, and the country's army was often not helpful, but correspondingly, the local armed forces were gradually becoming stronger, especially in the homes of high-ranking officials like Lu Xun, and the government soldiers were even better.

Although Sheva and Li Bai's offensive was strong, and although the soldiers under them were excellent, they were helpless because a group of soldiers from the clan under Guo Ziyi resisted desperately.

This is not difficult to understand, no matter in which dynasty, there are some foolish and loyal people, not to mention that there are many generals among the many government soldiers who are themselves children of the clan, knowing that once Chang'an is lost, he will become a down-and-out prince and grandson, and he will never regain his former appearance, and it is reasonable to have the same hatred and hatred.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty, led 800 personal soldiers, and they had come to Shenwumen at a rapid pace.

Shenwu Gate is the main gate of Daming Palace, when it was built, it was piled up with granite like a hill, and it has been repaired more over the past dynasties, and the city wall is high and thick, and the city gate is cast with stainless steel, which makes the defense very easy, Li Longji only stationed 3,000 troops here.

And among these 3,000 troops, there is Li Yu, the general of Yangping Pass, who is mixed in.

As early as before Zishi sent troops, the Tang Dynasty had already sent his own orders into the city, so that Li Yu knew that he wanted him to sacrifice the gate when the battle between Xuanwumen and Xizhimen was inextricable, and he personally led 800 personal soldiers and 10,000 horses to directly seize the city.

If Li Yu helps himself, then he can take Chang'an lightly, and if Li Yu does not help himself, there is also a great risk. However, according to the Tang Dynasty's judgment of Li Yu, it is impossible for him to find a divine doctor to remove the poison of the red pill he gave him in this extreme time, and then Li Yu should know what to do for his own life!

The Shenwu Gate was really wide open, dark and gloomy, Tang Dynasty hesitated, should I rush or not?
