Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 445 Chapter 456: Li Jing was not weaker than others all his life
"The right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people." Almost everyone has heard this sentence.

Right now it is a dispute between the right time and place, and the Tang army occupies the tall and strong Chang'an City, which can be said to have the best location.

However, Tianshi helped Tubo. As for Renhe, Tubo has nearly 13 troops, while the Tang army in Chang'an City has less than [-].

The right time, place, people and the three major combat factors, the Tang army has lost the second, and will naturally fall into a hard fight, losing the bed crossbow weapon.

The city of Chang'an is too big and the line of soldiers is too long. It is really difficult to hold a 1 army. In one day, the Tang army lost more than [-] soldiers. Li Jing knew that this was not the way to go. In wartime, if the situation is not right, immediately withdraw to the imperial city.

The God of War is the God of War, he dares to make choices, and he will not stick to the gains and losses of a city or a pool. In his eyes, only the victory of the war is full of the overall situation.

The next morning, Tubo attacked the city again. Although the temperature had risen, the effect was not very obvious. Moreover, the hands of Tang soldiers had already been frostbitten, and all the bed crossbows were destroyed. Even if the weather returned to summer, it seemed useless.

Li Jing ordered water to be poured on the city wall at night to freeze the city wall and prevent the Tubo army from entering the city. Although it played a big role, it seemed that it could not turn the tide of the battle. In the afternoon, after listening to the report of the battle damage, Li Jing frowned and pondered for a long time , Immediately ordered that the whole army retreat and defend the imperial city to the death.

The Tang army retreated, and the Tubo army swarmed up and occupied the outer city of Chang'an. They all rejoiced. After Lu Dongzan entered Chang'an, he immediately ordered all the city gates to be closed to prevent the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty. Li Hao's army was still 70 meters away from Chang'an. In Duoli, the road is slippery in snowy weather, and the speed of the cavalry can't increase. It will take at least a day or two to reach Chang'an.

After Lu Dongzan occupied the outer city of Chang'an, he decided to take advantage of the high morale of the army and take down the imperial city in one fell swoop, so he ordered to attack the city overnight. From night to noon the next day, both sides suffered heavy losses. The Tubo army also lost more than 2.

Li Jing is going through the worst battle of his life. The [-] troops at the Xuanwu Gate must not be moved. That is the back door of the Tai Chi Palace. They must stay there to resist Lunzhu Rinzeng's [-] troops. If the Xuanwu Gate falls , that's all over.

Considering that there were only 2 people, it seemed powerless to defend the imperial city. Li Jing gritted his teeth and ordered to retreat to Taiji Palace.

That night, the Tang army directly retreated to the Taiji Palace. More than 20 people gathered in the huge Taiji Palace. Li Shimin's health has recovered a lot recently. Almost every hour, he will receive battle reports sent by Li Jing.

That night, Li Shimin was wearing a fluffy coat, standing in front of the Tai Chi Hall, looking at the majestic Tai Chi Square full of refuge tents, he could even feel the panic of the people, and felt sore in his heart, Li Zhi came quietly When he reached his side, he called softly: "Father, you have just recovered from a serious illness, don't come out at night, you will freeze."

Li Shimin didn't answer, and after a long silence, he suddenly said: "The matter of making Li Hao the Grand Marshal of the Army...I don't regret it now."

Li Zhi was startled when he heard the words, and then he was relieved. In fact, Li Shimin didn't want to confer Li Hao as the Marshal of the Shidao Bingma at all. The common people have been reduced to take refuge in the Taiji Palace, so there is no escape route for him, even if Li Hao rebels and usurps the throne, at least he will treat the common people kindly.

Li Shimin suddenly turned his head to look at Li Zhi, and asked, "Zhier, do you think Li Hao...would take this opportunity to steal the Great Tang Dynasty?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "No."

"That's why you believe him?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi suspiciously.

Li Zhi nodded vigorously: "He is Erchen's teacher and also Erchen's best friend. I know him as much as I know him. Li Hao is not that kind of person."

"Oh... I hope so..." Li Shimin sighed, and said slowly, "Zhier, my father is getting old, if Li Hao is able to turn the tide this time, and doesn't take the opportunity to rebel, it means that Li Hao is really loyal and virtuous. You can refer to it as the humerus, the suspect does not use it, and the employing person does not doubt it, do you understand what the father means?"

Li Zhi cupped his hands solemnly: "Yes, I understand, father."

Ge Erdongzan occupied the imperial city again, but he was very happy. As long as he captured the Taiji Palace again, he would be able to cut off Li Shimin's head. It is also possible to enter the Central Plains and replace Datang from then on, flogging the world and deterring all nations. This is not enough. At that time, he will find an opportunity to overtake Songtsen Gampo and seize his throne. Then Ge Erdongzan will be a heavenly khan Now, he holds the power of life and death of hundreds of millions of living beings. He is confident that with his own ingenuity, he is invincible in the universe. Lu Dongzan is not a noble person. He also has a very strong desire for power, but he is good at It's just forbearance.

This time Geer Dongzan did not choose to continue advancing, because the continuous day and night siege had exhausted the Tubo army, so he ordered the army to rest for the night and take down the Tai Chi Palace tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Ge Erdongzan ordered a large-scale attack on the Taiji Palace. Since this was the last line of defense, the Tang army was ready to die, and tens of thousands of young and strong people rushed to the top of the city to help throw stones and logs to resist the enemy.

However, the city wall of Taiji Palace is not as tall as the city wall of Chang'an, and the land occupied by the Tang army is no longer obvious. Now there are only [-] defenders left, of which the Jinwu Guards and Left and Right Guards are the main ones, and Li Yuanzhong and Peng Hai stick to it There were bloody battles on the east and west walls, and the battle at Chengtianmen was even more intense. Li Jing himself was in charge, and there were corpses everywhere on the city walls. Many young and strong people came to defend the city spontaneously. They also knew that at this time, they could not retreat. Because behind them stands their all and the hope of the nation.

The Tubo general in charge of leading the army to attack the city this time is Tubo Zhongru Shuai Godalman. Since Godalman was defeated by Li Hao, he has not been reused in Tubo. It can be said that he has enough resentment. Fighting, making himself famous and making up for his lost reputation, he went on stage outside Chengtianmen to beat drums to boost morale. This trick really worked. The Tubo army set up a ladder and rushed towards the city wall like crazy. Chongchengmu has already started hitting Chengtian Gate.

Li Jing ordered the Chengtian Gate to be blocked, and then asked his personal guards to help him stand up, looking at Godalman who was beating the drum in the distance below the city.

After a long silence, Li Jing suddenly shouted: "Get my bow!"

All the guards were stunned when they heard the words, no one moved, Li Jing stared and shouted: "How dare you disobey the military order?"

The guards were helpless, and someone stepped back immediately to get the bow. Soon, a guard took a big bow and Li Jing stretched out his crooked hand to take it, and gently stroked the bow arm, just like stroking his beloved Like a child, he said leisurely: "Zhentian Gong, Zhentian Gong, you have been fighting with me for the rest of your life. Now that I am old, you are still the same as before. Today will be my last battle. I want to use you to prove that I, Li Jing Life...is not weaker than others!"

After finishing speaking, he spread his hands flat and said slowly: "Arrow!"

"General!" Li Lan, Li Jing's most trusted guard, said anxiously, "General, your current body...can't shoot your bow!"

"Arrow!" Li Jing pretended not to hear, his voice was cold and arrogant.

"General!" Li Lan knelt down with a plop, pleading with tears all over her face, "General, you can't draw your bow! You can't draw your bow!"

"Arrow!" Li Jing's voice became louder, and his dim eyes were full of cold killing intent.

"General...don't...don't..." Li Lan burst into tears and pleaded on the ground. In his opinion, if Li Jing's current body was forced to open the bow, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Li Jing turned his head suddenly, and stared at the guard who was holding the quiver beside him. The guard was stared at by him, and his whole body shivered as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Li Jing directly reached out and pulled out a feathered arrow from the quiver he was holding. This feathered arrow was obviously four inches longer than ordinary feathered arrows. It was a special arrow for his Sky-shaking Bow. But it is known as the strongest bow in the Tang Dynasty, with three stones in tension, so the arrows are also custom-made.

Li Jing pushed away the guards who were supporting him as if returning to the light. He, who had been paralyzed for many years, could not stand upright. What's more, he took two steps forward and came to the front of the battlements. The strong bow was pulled into the shape of a full moon by him, and the cold wind blew up his white hair, adding a little mess. In his eyes, a cold light like thunder and lightning burst out, but all the guards saw this scene , all knelt down, tears streaming down their faces, they knew that Li Jing was returning to the light, once an arrow was fired, the enemy would die, and so would he...

With a soft "buzz", Li Jing let go of his hand. The arrow was like a shooting star, disappearing in a flash, passing through the beacon fire all over the sky, through countless arrow rains, this arrow carried the memories of Li Jing's life, it was so eye-catching, because he was The supreme arrow shot by the military god of the Tang Dynasty with his life, it is a supreme honor to die under this arrow.

Godalman, who was beating the drum, suddenly flew out and hit the snare drum, and then... bright red blood flowed down the drum, and Godalman's body was swinging there like a swing. Li Jing The divine arrow shot through Godalman's head and nailed him firmly to the huge army drum. Seeing this scene, the Tubo army was stunned and forgot to attack the city.

After Li Jing shot an arrow, he retreated a few steps and sat on the wheelchair, his face flushed like blood, and then he opened his mouth to spit out a burst of blood.

"General!" All the guards knelt and stepped forward, crying bitterly.

Li Jing slowly closed his eyes. All the experiences he had experienced during his lifetime flashed through his mind, and finally they were fixed on a picture. It was a big man with a beard and a beautiful woman in red. obsession.

"Pass me... the military order..." Li Jing had no strength to open his eyes anymore. He raised an order flag with all his strength, and said intermittently, "Qin Qiong will take over from me... as the commander in chief of the city defense!" He finished the last sentence The word, the head drooped suddenly, and the Tiantian Bow was also released from his hand, and fell to the ground. The Great Tang Army God... fell.
