Will Ming

Chapter 660 IX Is Yours

The heavily armored Modao Battalion in Xiongkuohai marched forward in neat steps. After forming the formation, the Modao Battalion was really like a thick mountain, giving people an unbearable sense of oppression.Zhang Gongjin ordered the archers to release arrows, and the feathered arrows were as dense as locusts, covering the heavily armored Modao camp.But no matter how sharp the feather arrows were, they couldn't penetrate the thick chain armor.

No matter how difficult it is for the arrow clusters to get stuck on the chain armor, at most it will only shoot through a small hole in the leather armor inside. Even if it can hurt people, it will have no effect.The formation of the Modao camp was still neat, looking down from above, it looked like a large piece of square tofu cut out by a knife.But obviously they're not tofu, they're a suffocating steel armor.Covered by white feathers all over the sky, the steel armor is still moving forward steadily.

The light armored infantry of the Tang Army could not stop the advance of the Modao Battalion at all. Under the rows of Modao, those Tang Army soldiers had no power to fight back.Even if someone could hit those heavily armored soldiers, no matter how sharp the horizontal knife was, it would not be able to cut through the thick and sturdy armor.

Although the speed of advancement was not fast, it did not stop at all.

Xiong Kuohai walked in the middle of the front row of the team, his left and right and all the Mo Daomen behind him kept pace with him.When he goes in, he goes in, and when he stops, he stops.This kind of tacit understanding is not only the result of long-term training together, but also the cooperation that can only be achieved after dozens of bloody fights.

The knife rises and the knife falls.

A row of Tang Army soldiers in front were cut down neatly, and the heavy and sharp Mo Dao could easily split a person's body.Every time the Modaoying took a step forward, there would be a lot of broken limbs and broken arms, and when the whole formation of the Modaoying stepped over, there would only be a layer of fleshy paste left on the ground.

Tang Jun was suppressed and retreated steadily, and it seemed that if he retreated again, he would reach the gate of Xuanwumen.

At this time, the Yanyun Army's brigade outside the city had already rushed up, and a huge building cart that was slightly higher than the city wall slowly moved over. garrison.Li Xian dispatched 2 archers from each battalion, and [-] archers from the navy, and smashed all the bed crossbows on the city wall into pieces with a catapult, and the arrow array of [-] people moved outside the city wall Then start showing off.

The arrow array of 2 people, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't understand the thrilling scene.

The white feathers filled the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

The feather arrows were so dense that they even collided in mid-air!

Dozens of building vehicles and arrow arrays outside the city wall poured on the city wall in a short period of time - 10,000+ feathered arrows went out, and the corpses and wooden buildings on the city wall were covered with a layer of white!

If there were no catapults to clean up the bed crossbows on the city wall, and the archers of the Tang army's city defense army were not smashed to pieces, it would be difficult for the archers of the Yanyun army to form such a large-scale suppression. After all, the bows and arrows of the defenders To have an absolute advantage in the hand, at least the range must be farther than the Yanyun Army under the city.

After three rounds of volleys, it was no longer possible for the Tang army on the city wall to form a counterattack.The infantry of the brigade lifted up the ladder and put it on the city wall. The huge building car continued to move forward and finally leaned against the city wall, laying wooden planks. The Yanyun Army infantry on the building car rushed to the top of the city like a tide.Yan Yun's army on the city wall began to clean up the remnants of the Tang army, and all those who surrendered were not killed.

Near the gate of the city, dozens of soldiers of the Tang army guarded a general of the Tang Dynasty with gauze wrapped on his forehead.

"General, withdraw from the city, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

A soldier of the Tang army urged hurriedly.

Liu Hongji's face was scorched and burned, making him look extremely ugly.The gauze on his forehead was still oozing blood, but there was no trace of despair in his eyes.

He felt guilty, but more relieved.

The reason why Yan Yun's army attacked the city wall so quickly was not only because of the huge power of the catapult and the covering blow of the arrow array, but also because of his military order.Just as Luo Shixin entered the city gate, he ordered the defenders on the city wall to withdraw. Except for places where the military order could not be conveyed, thousands of Tang troops had already withdrawn into the city.

From the very beginning, he never made up his mind to fight the enemy with death.

He didn't know whether he was right or wrong, but he didn't regret it.He did this only to save some lives, and he had no fighting spirit for this war from the very beginning.Even though King Yan is not the emperor's direct son, this is still a fight between the Li family.The city of Chang'an cannot be defended, even if there is no secret agent of the Yanyun Army inside the city to blow up the city gate, it cannot be defended.King Yan came prepared, if he didn't feel sorry for the soldiers, how could he have waited so long before attacking the city?

With so many sharp siege machines, no matter how big the loss is, conquering Chang'an is already doomed.It is precisely because he has seen through this that he is so negative.

Soldiers don't deserve their lives in a senseless war.

His guilt is for the emperor, but also for himself as a minister but he doesn't want to be loyal.In fact, people often think that they are ashamed of something or some people, but when they say it, they are just ashamed of their own heart.No one can understand Liu Hongji's pain now except himself.

"Help me up."

Liu Hongji said flatly, "I want to go home."

……

……

Every time the heavy-armored Modao Battalion of Xiong Kuo Hai took a step forward, there would be an extra layer of bloody mud on the ground.The sound of the blade cutting through the bones and splitting a living person into two pieces, if you really hear it clearly, no one will be calm as usual, it is a sound that can make people get goosebumps instantly.

Shouts, howls, and bones breaking are the sounds of death.And the most unbearable thing is not the sound of death, but the smell of death.

What filled the air was not only the smell of blood, but also a stench that could not go away for a long time after getting into people's noses.People are basically incontinent before death, and at the moment when Mo Dao is on his body, excrement and urine will involuntarily overflow from the crotch.

The smell of blood mixed with the smell of feces, this smell is unforgettable for a lifetime.

The combat boots stepped on the ground, and when they stepped over, not only the dead bodies were crushed, but also the feces.So when Yu Chigong next to Li Shimin got into the water in his boots, he would feel nauseous and want to vomit.Water is not disgusting, what is disgusting is the kind of wetness mixed with blood and feces.It was because of the water in Yu Chigong's boots that he couldn't help but think of the feeling on the battlefield... This feeling, as long as anyone who has been on the battlefield and survived, no one will easily forget it.

The boots stepped on the ground in a neat rhythm.

The Tang army retreated steadily, and they retreated to the front of the Xuanwu Gate.At this time, Yan Yun's army had captured the entire West Neiyuan, and the more than 1 Tang troops lying in ambush in the Yong'an Palace northeast of the West Neiyuan were also suppressed by Wu Tianxi, and they couldn't get out at all.After Xi Neiyuan was conquered, Li Xian dispatched another five thousand archers to Yong'an Palace for support. Under the suppression of the arrow array, the generals of the Tang army in Yong'an Palace had to raise their flags and surrender.

In just half a day, the West Inner Court was broken.

This speed is staggering. You must know that when Li Yuan attacked Chang'an City, the Sui army did not let him in so easily. Li Yuan walked into this big city stepping on tens of thousands of corpses.

There is only one Xuanwu gate standing in front of Li Xian now.

There is a Tai Chi Palace behind Xuanwu Gate.

There is a dragon chair in Tai Chi Palace.

An emperor sits on the dragon chair.

"His Majesty……."

Gao Liansheng carefully glanced at the emperor who was surprisingly calm, hesitated for a while and persuaded him: "If no one is allowed to enter the Taiji Palace, Zhang Gongjin and Liu Hongji will not be able to enter either, and if the city is broken...they will not be able to enter again." Palace, it is inevitable that they will do something that is out of courtesy. And... if the troops in the West Inner Garden in front retreat into the Taiji Palace for rectification and then use it to guard the palace city, their strength will not appear weak."

"The defense of Taiji Palace is strong. If there are enough defenders, if reinforcements from other sects arrive, the bandits may not be able to take advantage of it."

Li Yuan glanced at Gao Liansheng, his face as calm as an ancient well.Gao Liansheng has never been able to understand His Majesty the Emperor, why he lost his temper so easily in the past, but now he can calm down as if nothing happened at this time.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he had never sat on that dragon chair except for court meetings. Today he left the imperial study and entered the main hall. He sat on the tall dragon chair and looked at the empty hall in silence for a long time.

"Gao Liansheng"

"The slave is here"

"If you are not an eunuch, I will definitely use you again."

"The servant only wants to serve His Majesty by his side."

"Gao Liansheng"

"The slave is here"

"Do you know where I lost?"

"Your Majesty did not lose. As long as the two princes summon the entire city's army and civilians, the Yanyun thief may not be able to succeed."

"I lost, and if I lose, I lose."

Li Yuan's palm gently rubbed back and forth on the armrest of the dragon chair, feeling the temperature of the tentacles. The strength of his palm was so gentle, as if he was not touching the cold and hard chair, but the delicate cheek of a beauty.

"My loss lies in... I never dare to face the truth, and when I have to face it, I often become hesitant. I want to be an eternal sage, and I want to create a foundation for eternity... But now I see Come on, I'm afraid that this ideal will be left to my descendants. The result is not the worst... At least he is also my seed."

Li Yuan laughed at himself and said: "I always think that everyone is in my calculations, no one can hide it from me, no one can make me admit defeat! Maybe it's because I think too much in my heart , so that there is no decisiveness, but it is not as simple and straightforward as Li Xian thought, from the beginning he wanted to replace me as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but I have never thought about how to treat him."

"If Yan Yun's army enters the Taiji Palace...Gao Liansheng, you will
