Chapter 448 Chapter 459: Blood Stained Imperial City
Lu Dongzan, who was checking the battle situation inside and outside the imperial city at the top of the city, found the Xuanjia Army. He was shocked at first, and then shouted: "Bayan, quickly lead an army of [-] to kill them!"

"Yes!" A middle-aged Tubo general took the order to go, and then saw an army of [-] rushing down from the city wall, along the Tongtian Road, rushing towards the Xuanjia army head-on.

"Roar!" The five thousand Xuanjia troops roared in unison, and changed their formation again. This is the most regular square formation. Each row of Xuanjia troops erected a wide iron shield, like an iron wall, towards the Tubo army. rush away.

Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard the movement in the city. This familiar roar was the unique signal for the Xuanjia Army to change formation. Li Hao held the command flag and shouted: "Send the command of the commander, attack the city with all your strength!"

The army outside the city rushed towards the city wall with ladders and began to charge. The catapults and bed crossbow fire suppressed them to cover their attack on the city.

The Tubo army at the head of the city began to throw stones and roll logs down, and pour boiling water. Some Tang soldiers climbed up the city wall, but they were killed by the Tubo army. Although the number of both sides is now the same, the difficulty of attacking the city must be more difficult than that of defending the city. many times larger.

But at this moment, a fast horse galloped from the direction of Chunming Gate, held up the command flag and came to Li Haoya's tent. This is the messenger of Li Guocheng's Xuanjia army. The messenger got off his horse and saluted Li Hao, saying : "Commander, General Li Yuanzhong, who guards the Xuanwu Gate, shuts the Xuanwu Gate tightly and won't let us in!"

"What?" Li Hao frowned immediately when he heard the words, and asked in a raised voice, "Why?"

The messenger said: "General Li Yuanzhong said that he was acting on the orders of the emperor, and he didn't explain too much. General Li Guocheng asked his subordinates to come down and ask the commander if he would come back and help the general attack the city together."

"No need!" Li Hao frowned and pondered for a moment, then said coldly, "Let him lead the troops to retreat to the north for twenty miles, he is not needed here anymore."

"Marshal..." The messenger shouted urgently, they came to serve the king with full of enthusiasm, but Li Hao refused to let them help to attack the city, it was like pouring cold water on their enthusiasm.

"Stop talking! This is an order!" Li Hao's tone was unquestionable.

"Yes!" The messenger had no choice but to get on his horse and gallop away.

Looking at the battlefield where the fierce battle was taking place, Li Hao shook his head and sighed bitterly. He knew that Li Shimin had committed the same problem of being suspicious again. The matter will definitely be found out, and then I and these Xuanjia troops will be in trouble. Besides, the armor of the Xuanjia army is too heavy, and it is not suitable for attacking the city at all. This is the point.

However, in this way, Xue Rengui and the Xuanjia army in the city will suffer. Although the Xuanjia army is powerful, it is too dangerous to go deep alone. Moreover, Yiludong praised his clever mind. You will find the weakness of the Xuanjia army.

The Xuanjia army in the city had already abandoned their war horses, formed three long iron shields and continued to advance towards Suzaku Gate. The Tubo army along the way wanted to resist, but they couldn't break through their defense. Once they approached, they would be killed. The Mo Dao was either dead or maimed. As for the arrows, the Xuanjia army was not afraid of them. With the iron shield guarding them, why should they be afraid of arrows.

Lu Dongzan looked at the Xuanjia army in the imperial city from the top of the city, frowning, he could tell that these armored troops with swords and shields were planning to forcibly take down the Suzaku Gate, as long as the Suzaku Gate was taken down, the gate would be destroyed. King Qin's army from outside will flood into the imperial city, and at that time, even Talu Dongzan can't escape with his wings.

The appearance of the Xuanjia Army really surprised Ge Erdongzan. He couldn't believe that there was such a terrifying army in the world, and its combat power was terrifying. More than 1 troops had already gone to stop them, but they suffered heavy casualties. In contrast, the Xuanjia Army has only lost a hundred people so far.

Lu Dongzan observed for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Pour fire oil! Burn them to death!"

He finally discovered the weakness of the Xuanjia Army. Yes, the Xuanjia Army is afraid of water and fire.

With an order, thousands of Tubo troops arrived, and they threw earthen pots at the formation of Xuanjia Army from a distance.

Xue Rengui smelled the smell of kerosene, and his heart sank. The first batch of Xuanjia troops were trained by Xue Rengui himself. At that time, Li Hao told Xue Rengui that no army is invincible, and Xuanjia troops also have their weaknesses. Afraid of water, afraid of fire.

Xue Rengui immediately yelled loudly: "The enemy is going to use fire! Everyone obeys orders! Those who cover their faces, cut off their water bags, and have oil on their bodies! Back off! Get out of the battle formation!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the people who had been splashed with fire oil retreated quickly. At the same time, the other Xuanjia soldiers took out thick cloth towels to cover their mouths and noses, removed the large water bags on their bodies, cut them open with knives, and The water inside soaked him from head to toe.

Now that Li Hao knew the weakness of the Xuanjia army, he naturally had to take countermeasures. He ordered each Xuanjia army to wear a thick cloth towel and a large water bag. The water bag contained ten catties of water, which could barely wet himself. It is a stupid way to prevent the lungs from being choked by the smoke, but it is also the only way Li Hao can think of.

In such a cold weather, Xue Rengui was so cold that he wanted to scold his mother when he poured cold water all over his body. The idea that Li Hao came up with was simply stinky.

Just when the Xuanjia army was so cold that their teeth were chattering, countless fire arrows flew from the sky, and the Xuanjia army hurriedly erected their iron shields to resist.

The fire arrow fell to the ground and instantly ignited the kerosene on the ground. The fire rose, and Tongtian Dao was plunged into a sea of ​​flames, and the whistling of the flames could almost be heard.

"Come on!" Xue Rengui and Chen Bin shouted loudly. Facing such a big fire, many Xuanjia soldiers were instantly engulfed by the fire even if they were soaked. Chaos.

Seven thousand Tubo troops rushed up ahead. They had received orders to block them and let this group of iron-clad monsters die in flames.

More than 800 Xuanjia soldiers withdrew from the battle formation ahead of time because they were splashed with fire oil, standing in the back and watching their comrades fighting in front of them helplessly, crying silently. They really wanted to help them, but they knew that once they rushed into the fire Among them, they are fuel, they are going to die, they can't help at all, some people are impatient, and they are so angry that they keep beating the ground with their fists, it seems that only in this way can they relieve the anger in their hearts.

"Let's go back! Kill those Tubo barbarians who attacked Tai Chi Palace!" A team was proposing.

"Go! Go back and kill those barbarians who attacked the city!" Others responded one after another, and the Eight Hundred Xuanjia Army suddenly turned around and rushed towards Chengtian Gate. There was also a busy battle there, and there were many Tubo troops waiting for them to kill.

The fire was ruthless, and the three thousand Xuanjia troops were blocked in the fire. Fortunately, they had already soaked their bodies, otherwise, the entire army would have been wiped out by now. By chance, the three thousand Xuanjia troops now only have 2000 people left. 1000 people died in the flames, and the rest were slightly or severely burned by the fire.

The fire is ruthless, but it also arouses the fighting spirit of the Xuanjia Army. There is fire behind them, and they must move forward bravely. If they don't move forward, they will die.

Tongtian Road was full of screams and roars, and the eyes of every Xuanjia army were clearly illuminated by the fire. Their eyes at this moment were like beasts that could eat people. Facing the Tubo army that was several times their size, they were trembling. Trembling with excitement, trembling with excitement, they walk on the edge of death, eager to kill, they live for war.

I don't know how long it took before the fire was extinguished. What was extinguished by the blood, the blood all over the ground had merged into a river, and the fire was extinguished.

There are less than a thousand people left in the Xuanjia Army, their swords are no longer complete, their shields are no longer clear, their bodies are no longer complete, everyone is injured, including Xue Rengui, they are standing there , seems to have a soaring momentum, as if it represents the god of death.

Of the [-] Tubo troops blocking them, only [-] remained. At this moment, the eyes of the [-] Tubo troops were full of fear. They felt that what they were facing was not the Tang army, but wild beasts, and their hands that held the knives were trembling. , They are slowly retreating, because if they do not retreat, they will die.

Lu Dong on the top of the city looked at the Xuanjia soldiers on Tongtian Dao, and was also dumbfounded. He thought that his vision was extremely high, but he thought that such a terrible army should not appear in the world. They have already surpassed Lu Dong Zan's understanding of war has surpassed the limit of human beings. Even as an enemy, he still respects this group of Xuanjia soldiers.
