I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 576: Defending the Capital
"asshole."

"I have already made such a concession, but they still want to force me like this?"

"Do you really think that I am the kind of emperor who is afraid of death?" The emperor of Shihan suddenly felt humiliated and angry.

Or.

He must have been angry out of shame.

Perhaps in his opinion, being able to take a step back and cede territory and pay compensation was already the biggest concession he could make, but the Tang Dynasty was still unwilling to do so. This was clearly a lack of respect for him and a desire to fight to the death with his empire.

"His Majesty."

"now."

"It depends on whether Your Majesty chooses to break out or defend the capital."

Walker exclaimed.

"General Walker, what do you think is the best option?"

""Will you have a better chance of winning if you slap me?"
The Shi Khanate emperor asked expectantly.

"If what I am thinking is correct, it would be too dangerous to break out. We don't know how the Tang army is deployed. Once we leave the capital, there will be no defense. The only way is to defend the capital and wait for the Tang army's food to run out."

"Except."

"We can also use flying birds to send messages so that other cities can quickly recruit soldiers and attack the Tang army from the rear. As long as we defend the capital and our empire's troops are recruited, the Tang will surely be defeated." Walker said confidently.

"General Walker."

"Now is a critical moment for the empire."

"I only trust you. I will give you command of all the troops in the city. You must build a flawless defense for me."

"The 100,000 elite troops transferred back from the West, plus all the nobles' private soldiers, add up to 200,000."

"There are still millions of civilians in the city, many of them men."

"Now is a critical moment. I grant you all the decision-making power. If necessary, all the people in the city can be mobilized. If they do not obey my orders, they can be dealt with directly." The Emperor of the Shi Khanate said to Walker.

"Subordinates take orders."

"With your majesty's order, I am more confident that I can defend the capital."

"As long as all the men in the city are mobilized, our manpower can be maintained at least 500,000."

"With so many people, I don't believe the bastards in the Tang army can break through the capital." Walker said confidently.

Seeing the defense of the Tang Dynasty border town that day, their empire's 500,000 troops attacked fiercely for many days but failed to break through, and instead suffered heavy losses to their imperial army.

and.

Walker later learned that the army in the border town of the Tang Kingdom had only a few hundred thousand soldiers, but they managed to withstand the fierce attack of their army of four or five hundred thousand from all sides.

"If Tang Guo can do it, I can do it too."

"The capital of my empire has been repaired for hundreds of years. The city walls are solid, there are artillery batteries everywhere, and there are four or five hundred thousand manpower. If we can't defend it, it means that the gods want to destroy my empire." Walker thought confidently in his heart.

When the Emperor of the Shi Khanate heard Walker's confidence, he nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, with General Walker leading the troops, I can rest assured."

"As long as you can repel the Tang army this time, Wen Huan will confer you the title of king and make you the king, the greatest noble of my Shi Khanate."

The emperor of the Shi Khanate still had some imperial skills and directly offered him the title of king.

Hearing about the king's reward.

Walker's face immediately showed excitement.

If one can really obtain the title of king, he will be the king, and his descendants will also be kings.

"I will definitely not let your majesty down."

"The Tang army must not break into the city."

"If the city is breached by the Tang army, I will be the first to die." Walker said excitedly.

And in this hall.

Many noble ministers of the Shi Khanate also expressed envy.

"Now is the most difficult time for the empire."

"I don't want to say anything more."

"If anyone dares to surrender to the Tang Kingdom and delay my retreat, even if the capital is really breached, I will issue a final order to kill all those traitors."

"Your glory and power are all given by the Empire."

"I hope you will not betray the empire's trust."

The Emperor of the Shi Khanate glanced at the noble ministers in the hall and said with a strong warning.

At this moment.

He wants to put an end to all civil unrest.

Hear his words.

The ministers of the Shi Khanate in the hall also expressed their loyalty to the emperor.

Time passed quickly, but for the capital of the Shi Khanate, the days were like years.

They could only watch as more and more Tang troops gathered around their capital, but they could do nothing.

Although Walker was also trying his best to maintain the defense of the city, and Walker forcibly captured men in the city for defense, which also caused some chaos. However.

For the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how many soldiers they gathered, it would be useless, especially those slaves recruited by the Lin family and civilians.

Although they are numerous, they do not pose much of a hindrance to the Tang Dynasty soldiers. On the contrary, chaos will arise in the capital of the Shi Khanate because of these untrained civilians and slaves.

This is absolutely true.

Tang military camp.

Li Zheng sat in the main seat, while Li Ke and Zhao Ming stood on Li Zheng's left and right.

Even the generals gathered below.

Each of them holds an official position at least above that of a guerrilla general. Only in this way can they come here to listen to the emperor's orders.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live long and long."

All the generals knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.

"Ah."

Li Zheng nodded and raised his hand: "Gentlemen, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the generals said in unison.

All of them looked at Li Zheng expectantly.

Today they are all wearing armor, and are obviously ready to go into battle at any time.

Even Li Zheng is no exception.

A conspicuous golden armor, the Emperor Dragon Armor.

"Everyone is here."

"You are all good."

"I gave you three months, and no one exceeded the time limit."

"The Tang Dynasty has you, my Lords. This is a blessing for me and the Tang Dynasty."

"If all the nobles gather together, it is time to settle the capital of the Shi Khanate and determine the core area of ​​the Shi Khanate.

Li Zheng laughed.

"I am willing to be the vanguard."

Suddenly.

Su Dingfang, Lin Chong, Li Sheng, Feng Cheng, the generals who originally commanded the four armies all knelt down and begged for orders.

Each one is full of burning anticipation.

"The capital of the Shi Khanate has four sides."

"It has been surrounded by our Tang Dynasty."

"I don't intend to attack from one side, but from all four sides."

"As long as one side of the city wall is destroyed, the other three sides will surely collapse."

"So, these four routes are the main attack and are the vanguard." Li Zheng said with a big laugh.

"We, the ministers, will follow His Majesty's words." The ministers said in unison.

"Everyone will obey the order."

Li Zheng shouted with authority.

"Don't obey orders."

All the generals were waiting in awe.

When a general is mentioned, the war is about to begin.

Li Zheng took out four command flags from the table.

"Su Dingfang."

"I order you to lead the Tang soldiers who attack the north gate."

"Li Sheng."

"I order you to lead the Tang soldiers who attack the west gate."

"Feng Cheng."

"I order you to lead the Tang soldiers who attack the South Gate."

"Li Ke, Lin Chong, you lead the Tang Dynasty soldiers to attack the east gate. I am with you." Li Zheng shouted in a powerful voice.

"I will obey your orders."

All the generals said in unison.
