Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"His Majesty!"

Qin Qiong frowned, and said with a serious face: "Although there are still more than [-] soldiers in our army, more than half of them are disabled. In fact, there are only more than [-] people who can fight, and just last night, three people disappeared from the army for no reason. Qian Jiashi, I don’t know where to go.”

"Even if the Turkic army is infected with a serious disease due to inaccuracy, even if the remaining Turkic forces are less than [-], it is not something our military region can handle with [-] people."

"I said so!"

Li Ke's frown deepened: "With the help of the national teacher and the gods, in this battle, even if [-] are against [-], there is an [-]% chance of winning. Or is it that General Qin has been frightened by the Turks? He dare not fight him head-on gone?"

"Your Majesty, what kind of sky fire, what kind of fire powder, are all rumors to confuse the public. Your Majesty must not be deceived by the monster!" Qin Qiong said anxiously.

"Qin Qiong, I think you are trying to confuse the crowd!" Li Ke said coldly, "That day on the roof of the sacrifice, the national teacher showed the power of the gods, and all the civil and military officials and I saw it with our own eyes. Could it be that yesterday? Didn't Fang Xuanling tell you?"

"Your Majesty would rather trust an alchemist who has only been in the court for three years than a minister who has been loyal to the Tang Dynasty for decades?"

Qin Qiong said sharply: "These alchemists are usually the best at using tricks to fool the common people, Your Majesty..."

"presumptuous!"

Li Ke yelled angrily, interrupted Qin Qiong, and continued: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss it any further!"

"Qin Qiong, let me ask you, are you accepting the order or resisting it?"

Hearing this, Qin Qiong looked unwilling.

He must accept this decree.

If he resists the decree, at least his military power will be removed.

But now there is no third general in Chang'an apart from him and the seriously injured Cheng Yaojin.

At that time, there will still be people who want to lead troops out of the city.

No matter who succeeds him, he will not be at ease.

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Qiong finally clasped his fists and said, "I...accept the order!"

"Fang Xuanling!" Li Ke shouted again.

"Chen is here!"

Fang Xuanling took a step forward with thoughtful eyes.

Li Ke said expressionlessly: "General Qin's mood is not stable. I ordered you to be the military governor and go out with General Qin."

"With the courage of General Qin and the wisdom of Mr. Fang, I can rest assured."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Fang Xuanling's eyes were deep, and he took the order without much hesitation.

……

In this way, in the early morning three days later, before dawn, Qin Qiong and Fang Xuanling led less than [-] people out of the north gate.

Almost holding the attitude of death, he resolutely rushed towards the Turkic camp.

In the carriage not far behind the army, sat a shivering Li Chunfeng.

He looked at the less than ten catties of fire powder in the box next to him, showing a bitter face.

At the same time, no one has discovered that countless people have left the city of Chang'an Ximen, which was originally strictly forbidden to enter and leave.

Looking at the number, there are four to five thousand people.

The guards guarding the gate were also puzzled by this, but they were ordered not to intervene, so they let the people leave.

Unexpectedly, in a carriage driving towards the city gate, Li Ke, who was dressed in disguise, slowly opened his eyes...

On that day, there were bursts of shouts and killing sounds from the north bank of the Weishui River to all directions.

The spies in the dark know that this is the second battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and the battle is quite tragic.

The news was sent back to Chang'an.

In the Taiji Hall, civil and military officials gathered together for a special period and did not disperse.

As soon as the news came, all the officials cheered.

"Turk never imagined that my Tang Dynasty would use troops at this time. Presumably the expression on Jieli Khan's face should be extremely exciting at this time."

"They didn't even think that there is such a fairy as the national teacher in my Tang Dynasty, when the burning fire powder appeared, it was the time when Xieli died!"

"Not only did Jieli fail to guess, but the king of Yue who came from behind must also not have guessed it? He must have thought that Chang'an was defeated in this battle, so he could sneak in. When the national teacher used burning powder to arouse the sky fire, he must be surprised! "

"You'll probably be scared to death! This kind of fetish from the upper realm only exists in legends, and it's unbelievable to suddenly appear in front of you!"

"Hehe, the King of Yue is still too young. Do you really think that recruiting a few recruits can reap the benefits of fishing? It's ridiculous!"

"Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, and the upper realm has bestowed fetishes. It can be seen that Your Majesty is a man blessed by God. Only Your Majesty is competent to be the king of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who tries to influence him will only attract God's punishment!"

A group of people talked freely and with great interest.

Unexpectedly, after a few hours, no good news came.

Some people are already getting restless.

Some people comforted themselves by saying, "There are so many people participating in this battle, it will take three to five days to achieve results."

Until the evening, news came one after another.

"My lords, it's not good!"

"The Turkic army has crossed the Wei River and is heading straight for Chang'an!"

"It's not good! The Turks have already approached the city, and they are building fortifications less than ten miles away from the city! They... are preparing to attack the city!"

Baiguan was shocked instantly.

"How did this happen? Where's General Qin? Where's Mr. Fang? Could it be that they fled without fighting?"

"Didn't the national teacher go there with the fetish? Why didn't the sky fire come to the world?"

"The Turkic army attacked the city, but the defenders in the city are only a few thousand remnants. How can we deal with it?"

"Quick! Report this matter to His Majesty!"

The civil and military officials were in a mess, and everyone looked anxious.

They wanted to find Li Ke.

But they didn't know that Li Ke had already secretly abandoned the city and fled with thousands of people.

No matter how they played, the eunuchs in the palace only replied to them - Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, and has fallen asleep, and let the officials discuss the countermeasures by themselves.

despair!

Hearing this, all the officials actively discussed at first, but finally found that no matter how hard they struggled, it was of no avail.

The entire hall was enveloped in an atmosphere of despair.

The ministers Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui were relatively calm, and they immediately presided over the overall situation, first to appease everyone's emotions, and then personally stationed on the city wall.

In the early morning of the next day, the Turks blew the horn of siege...

Chapter 414: Fight to the death without retreat!

Outside Chang'an City, in the Turkic camp.

Turkic soldiers have already built a high platform.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jieli Khan slowly climbed to the top.

Beside him, the top ten warriors of the grassland were as strong as a cow, and all of them had a fierce look in their eyes.

They looked at the outline of Chang'an City in the distance, as if they were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Jieli Khan sat on the exclusive throne, looked down at the four directions, and said loudly: "My people, have you seen it? Not far ahead is the most sacred capital of the Central Plains people!"

"Are you satisfied with the fertile land under your feet?"

"satisfy!"

Below, countless Turkic soldiers shouted.

Jieli Khan pressed his hand, and after silence, he continued, "Do you still remember how difficult life was?"

"Every winter, when the snow falls and everything withers, in order not to be hungry, I have to go hunting against the wind and snow."

"But even so, there are still many tribes that disappear forever in the snow season every year."

"They didn't freeze to death, they starved to death!"

"I have been heartbroken more than once for this, and I feel unbearably guilty."

"At this time, I would think, how can the Central Plains people, who are not as strong as us, be able to enjoy this beautiful land to themselves?"

"Why, we have to starve to death in the snow?"

"Are you willing to live on the grassland forever?"

"Not reconciled!"

"Not reconciled!"

When the Turkic soldiers below heard these words, they immediately shouted excitedly.

Jieli Khan remained expressionless, and continued: "In the Central Plains, there are thousands of kinds of fruits, vegetables and food that are suitable for growing. There are also countless rivers and waters where fish and meat are inexhaustible. There are also countless gold and silver mines. mines, countless deep forests and beasts..."

"I ask you, do you want to live in such a land?"

"miss you!"

The shouts sounded again.

Seeing this, Jieli Khan stretched out his hand and pointed to the front: "Taking Chang'an, the Central Plains will be our homeland from now on!"

"Capture Chang'an!"

"Capture Chang'an!"

Turkic soldiers surged with passion and shouted loudly.

"Ashinadilla branch!"

Jieli suddenly turned his head to look at the ten warriors next to him.

Among them, one of the burliest men, holding a pair of purple gold hammers, bent down slowly: "Father Khan, what are your orders?"

"Within three days, I want you to take down Chang'an, are you sure?"

"Father, don't worry, it won't take three days, two days, the baby will come to meet with the head of the Tang emperor!" Ashinadira said expressionlessly.

"Okay! I'm waiting for your good news!"

Jieli Khan looked at Ashina Diluozhi with a look of relief.

Subsequently, the Turkic army, led by the Ashinadilla branch, launched a fierce attack on Chang'an.

Towering ladders slowly pushed forward.

In the rear, a catapult was also in place one after another.

The huge goalpost, also under the cover of Turkic soldiers, slowly approached the city gate.

Turkic soldiers are everywhere outside the city.

On the other hand, on the Chang'an city wall, there are very few soldiers of the Tang Dynasty defending the city.

Even among them, [-]% of the soldiers felt panic and anxiety because of the huge gap in strength.

Cheng Yaojin was wearing bandages all over his body, but he was still standing on the city wall in armor, and shouted loudly: "Deadly battle will never retreat!"

"Behind you are millions of ordinary people, including your wives, children, and parents. Even if we die, we will stick to the city wall and never let the barbarians cross over to harm our relatives and fellow citizens!"

"Fight to the death!"

When the soldiers on the city wall heard Cheng Yaojin's shout, their eyes turned red.

Yes!

Behind them are ordinary people and blood relatives who are powerless to resist.

If they are afraid to run away, who will guard them?

All of a sudden, the soldiers who were fearful of war gritted their teeth as if they had been beaten to death, or drew bows and arrows, or carried rolling stones and hot oil...
