Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Page 370



The soldiers next to him tensed up.

Now, Cheng Yaojin, the only Tang general, is the last support in their hearts.

Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin was just exhausted, and got up again after a brief coma.

But his pale face and trembling wrists all showed that he was exhausted.

Seeing this scene, Wei Zheng could no longer bear the anger in his heart, and growled in a low voice: "Where is your Majesty? Is there any news yet? We must send the imperial army to defend the city now, otherwise..."

"My lord, the person sent to the palace has returned..."

A soldier smiled bitterly and said: "Where are there any forbidden troops? Where is there any Your Majesty? Your Majesty has already evacuated the imperial palace and Chang'an with all the forbidden troops. The entire imperial city, except for the maids and eunuchs and the harem, is an empty city!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng was furious, "Why did you only find out now?"

"My lord, Your Majesty is the king of a country. If he wants to do something, who dares to intervene? Who dares to obstruct? No one even dares to disobey His Majesty's order. If His Majesty wants to abandon the city and become a king of subjugation, no one can do anything!"

"Damn!"

Wei Zheng was furious, and roared to the sky: "He is not worthy to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

After a pause, he shouted again: "What about the fire powder? Didn't he say that the fire powder is so powerful that it can defeat thousands of troops?"

"My lord, how can there be any fire powder, hehe..."

The soldier smiled bitterly and said: "I went to the National Teacher's Mansion to check, and the burning fire powder is indeed amazingly effective, but such fetishes are extremely precious. Li Chunfeng doesn't even have ten catties of burning fire powder. The so-called ten thousand catties of burning fire powder , is nothing but nonsense!"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng staggered back a few steps, with a pale face, and sighed, "Could it be that the sky is really going to kill me?"

Beside, many military officers also heard these words, and their eyes turned red.

No one thought that they did not die at the hands of the enemy, but were betrayed by the person they trusted the most.

For Datang, they risked their lives.

What can be exchanged is betrayal.

How sad...

Chapter 416: From now on, the Tang Dynasty will destroy the country!

Even though the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stood firm on the city wall and fought to the death, they still couldn't hold back the endless Turkic soldiers swarming in.

An hour later, when Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng and many generals were seriously injured and unconscious, the city wall was quickly occupied by the Turkic army.

The Tang army defending the city had less than a thousand people left, so they had no choice but to retreat to the palace with unconscious Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng, preparing to hold the last position.

By this time of the war, the entire city of Chang'an had been surrounded by the Turkic army.

All escape routes were blocked.

The imperial city is their last struggle.

city ​​wall.

Jieli Khan slowly planted his tribe's flag at the top, and said loudly: "From now on, the Tang Dynasty will destroy the country!"

The next moment, the Turkic soldiers burst into applause, with tired smiles on their faces.

Up to this point in the battle, none of the top ten grassland warriors had been killed, but all of them were wounded.

At this moment, ten people lined up neatly, knelt on one knee in front of Jieli Khan, clenched a fist with one hand and placed it on his chest, shouting in unison.

"Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan!"

"Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan!"

"..."

The shouts quickly spread across the battlefield like a plague, and all the Turkic soldiers were excited.

Jieli Khan nodded with a smile, and then said loudly: "According to the usual practice, the city will be massacred for three days!"

"Doesn't the Central Plains court like to beheaded at noon?"

"Arrest all the officials in Chang'an, big or small, gather outside the city at [-]:[-] noon, execute them all, and hang all their heads on the city wall for three days!"

"I want everyone to see what happens to those who oppose me!"

"Follow the orders of the Great Khan!"

Ashinadira shouted respectfully.

"The Great Khan has an order to massacre the city for three days!"

"Three days of massacre!"

"The Great Khan ordered that at three quarters noon, all Tang officials be executed. Everyone can witness this great moment!"

The order was conveyed layer by layer, and every Turkic soldier's face was filled with ecstasy and excitement.

Soon, as the Turkic army entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.

The people of Tang Dynasty in Chang'an ushered in a nightmare.

Those court officials, big and small, were hiding in their own cellars, or hiding in wells, behind roof tiles, under pools, or under loess. They were all found and arrested by Turkic soldiers.

The battle to defend the palace lasted only half an hour before it was declared defeated.

Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng and others were also arrested one after another.

At three quarters in the afternoon, everyone was tied up and taken outside the city.

The dead bodies everywhere and the pungent smell of blood made many officials look pale and cry bitterly.

Everyone understands what is about to happen.

Especially after seeing that Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng were also arrested, the civil and military officials were completely desperate.

On the city wall, Jieli Khan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he looked down at the officials of the Tang Dynasty who were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

He pointed to the officials and said to his soldiers: "This is the civil and military officials of the Tang court. This group of weak two-legged sheep manages the huge Central Plains and has supreme power."

"My people, have you seen it? Look at their terrified looks, their trembling in fear, the majestic Tang Dynasty is nothing more than that, after all, they will fall under the iron cavalry of our grassland warriors!"

"Hahaha……"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The Turkic soldiers below shouted.

Jieli Khan showed a cruel smile, and was about to give an order when he frowned suddenly: "Which one is the emperor of Tang?"

"This……"

Behind him, Ashina Diluozhi replied anxiously: "I told Father Khan that the emperor of the Tang Kingdom was not found."

"what?!"

Jieli Khan turned around with a gloomy expression: "Say it again!"

"Father Khan!"

Ashina Diluozhi hurriedly knelt down, and said anxiously: "My child has searched the entire city, and searched the palace several times, indeed there is no trace of the Tang emperor, maybe he abandoned the city and fled long ago. "

"hateful!"

Jieli Khan's face was livid: "Why don't you send someone to chase after him? If you don't catch up, you don't want to come back!"

"My son obeys!"

Ashina Di Luozhi responded quickly, and then led the people away.

Jieli Khan pondered for a moment, and then shouted to the officials of the Tang Dynasty: "Your emperor is a smart man. He knew that he couldn't stop my cavalry, so he packed up his parcel and fled early."

"You stupid two-legged sheep, you don't even know your emperor abandoned you, and you still fight to the death for him, it's ridiculous! Haha..."

As soon as this remark came out, the Turkic soldiers around laughed.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty felt hopeless again.

Once upon a time, how much they believed in Li Ke.

I think Li Ke will definitely lead them out of this predicament.

Unexpectedly, Li Ke had already run away.

Many ministers were extremely remorseful. If they had not followed Li Ke's suggestion and prevented Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong from taking people out to die one after another, they would never have fallen to this point.

But it was all too late.

They eventually became Li Ke's abandoned sons.

Just then, another group of people was escorted over.

But it was a few old people and a dozen children of different ages.

These children are all dressed in silk and satin, and their identities are not simple at first glance.

If Li Xiao were here, he would definitely know that the old man leading the child at the front was Kong Yingda and Lu Deming who had taught him before.

And the identities of the children behind are also ready to be revealed.

It was the young princes under Li Er's knees.

Seeing this scene, all civil and military officials were tearing apart and grieved.

These Turkic barbarians are not even prepared to let children go.

"Khan, these are the brothers of the Tang emperor."

At this time, a man in black robe came to Jieli Khan with a stick and made a hoarse voice.

This person was wearing a black robe and a hood, and his face could not be seen clearly, and it was not even possible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"When did the national teacher come back? How is your health?"

Jieli Khan was puzzled by the sudden appearance of the man in black, but there was a trace of joy and respect mixed with the doubt.

"Ahem... I'm sick, Xie Dahan is concerned."

The man in black coughed a few times, and then continued: "When I came back yesterday, I saw that the Great Khan was attacking the city, so I sneaked into the city on my own initiative, trying to find the hiding place of the Tang emperor."

"Did you find it?" Jie Li asked expectantly.

"I disappointed Khan. I learned from several guards at the west gate of Chang'an that the emperor of Tang had slipped away from the west gate a few days ago." The man in black said weakly, "Without an emperor, Khan would Use these princes to stand up."

"correct."

After a pause, the man in black continued to say: "Emperor Dongying asked his subordinates to bring a message to Da Khan. He wanted ten cities in the north of Heyang, east of Xiazhou, and northeast of Jinzhou, where Jinyang and Qizhou are located. The territory of the three counties, and the rest of the territory of the Tang Kingdom belong to me, Turkic."

"Isn't the Emperor of Japan not paying attention to Ben Dahan?"

Jieli Khan frowned and said, "Send someone to tell him that Qizhou can be given to him, and Youzhou can also be given to him. Don't even think about the rest of the land!"

"Yes, sweat!"

The black-robed man nodded.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report: "Reporting to the Great Khan, an unknown number of Tang troops were found [-] miles south of Chang'an, at least more than [-]."

"There are still troops in the south?"

Jieli Khan looked puzzled: "Chang'an has been defeated by me. It's too late to come at this time. Go and find out where the army is."

"and many more!"

But the man in black suddenly said: "They come from the south, and there are tens of thousands of them. It should be Li Xiao, King of Yue of Tang Dynasty."

"Li Xiao?" Jieli Khan frowned slightly, "Is that the Yue King Li Xiao that the national teacher often said that I should focus on?"

Chapter 417: Only 3 people, what is there to be afraid of?

"That's right, it's Li Xiao, King of Yue." The man in black nodded.

"It's just in time to save me from looking for him!"

Speaking of this, Jieli Khan showed a puzzled expression again: "Knowing that my [-] troops are here, but you still come here to die. Is this Li Xiao really as troublesome as the national teacher said?"

"Great Khan, this person may be the most difficult person in Tang Dynasty to deal with, not one of them, so Khan must not take it lightly!"
