Chapter 835 The Final Battle

The water reflects the starry night sky.The Tongjiqu canal is peaceful.

The small boats of Zhao Jun's Inland River Navy were cutting white waves on the water surface, making a clear sound of oars hitting the water.

Gradually, the noise came from a distance, and countless giant lights hanging on the bow of the boat illuminated the river surface from a distance through the night.

Zhao Jun's main fleet, which came from Youjing upstream, was slowly heading downstream.On these troop carriers, young faces looked at the bank of the canal, Liyang City, an important town connecting the north and the south of the Great Zhao.The faces of many new soldiers were full of excitement. The young soldiers were very excited to participate in such a battle for the first time.They are all well-equipped, and they are all the latest new armor made by the Dazhao Craftsman Workshop.

Due to Zhao Guo's breakthrough in ironmaking, the armor forged in the blast furnace is stronger under the same weight.The artisans of the state of Zhao have tested that a crossbow of three stones cannot penetrate beyond fifty paces.In the battle with the Turks, the Zhao army has always had a great advantage with its armored soldiers, but now it is facing Li Tang, whose military industry is not inferior to that of Zhao.The craftsmen of Zhao Guozuo Workshop also put forward higher requirements and produced more advanced armor.

Seeing this military town right now, everyone seemed to hear the sound of rumbling war drums.

Following the troop transport ships were grain ships. These grain ships had a deep draft and were full of new grain brought from Youjing.The warship landed on the Tongji Canal Wharf, and soldiers and soldiers stepped off the ship in a steady stream.

Just after disembarking, all the soldiers were laughing beside the pier and looking at the mighty town of Liyang City.At this time, a general came from the pier and shouted: "No noise!"

A school captain got off the boat and said: "Brother, don't make a fuss, Tang Jun is still thousands of miles away."

The general raised his face and said: "Bastard, who told you that the Tang army is thousands of miles away, and the war has already broken out. Our army launched an attack on the Tang army in Changping County three days ago, and the two armies are fighting fiercely! And in Hexi, Wang Junkuo's general guard led the army from the North Route to attack the land of Hexi, and the battle has begun in full swing!"

All the soldiers were stunned when they heard this, with an expression of disbelief, and the great battle broke out like this.

The general said solemnly: "The current battle is a life-and-death battle between my great Zhao and Li Tang. If you take it lightly, then the country will be in danger. From now on, the front is the battlefield!"

After hearing what the general said, all the soldiers restrained their expressions and replied: "No!"

Changan.

The news of Zhao Jun's march to the west of Hexi had already come, and the fast horses at the border gate rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in the west of the city every half an hour.All kinds of battle reports came like snowflakes.

Big Zhao is finally at war!

Compared with the original two-year period, it was half a year earlier. Although there was no movement in the east, the momentum in the west of Hexi was really not small.

The emergency documents of Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Chai Shao and others have been sent to Chang'an.Everyone from the officials to the common people knew that this time the Zhao army was extremely powerful.How long can Chang'an City be under Li Tang's rule?

In the Promise Palace, Li Shimin strode towards the harem.

The palace maids visited Li Shimin one after another when they saw him.Li Shimin obviously didn't have any thoughts, and went straight to the queen's bedroom.

In the past two years, the eldest grandson Wugou has completed a three-level jump from Princess Qin to Crown Princess, and now the queen of the entire Tang Empire.Seeing Li Shimin's hasty expression, Empress Changsun couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, did you hear that Zhao Jun has made a big move?"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Almost, the 20 cavalry in Wangjunkuo, Hexi, have already arrived at Hetao. They are here, but they haven't entered yet. But I think it's coming soon, and although there is no movement in the east, it is also heard. There are a lot of rumors that Zhao Guo's troops are pressing towards Guanzhong right now."

Empress Changsun lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, can you win this battle?"

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Win? Even if I know I'm going to lose, I still want to fight this battle. Datang Tiantian was founded by my father and son, how can I hand it over to Li Chongjiu now."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Empress Changsun's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Empress Changsun's expression, Li Shimin said immediately, "Don't worry too much. It's not that I can't win, but the Zhao army is indeed powerful. I can't hide it from you. Chang'an is already a dangerous place. I want you and Chengqian to go to Sichuan." Take refuge temporarily. After this battle is over, come back to Chang'an."

Empress Changsun grabbed Li Shimin's hand and said, "Your Majesty, can't you even keep Chang'an?"

Li Shimin's lips moved and said: "No, I can't hold it, but Chang'an is already a dangerous place. Both of you mother and son are gone, so I can feel relieved and use my fists."

After hearing this, Empress Changsun shed tears and said: "Concubine...Concubine is reluctant to part with Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let Concubine stay!"

Li Shimin sighed a long time after hearing this, and took Empress Changsun's hand and said, "I don't want you to accompany me. We have been husband and wife for many years, and we have been inseparable for life and death. It's just that only when you leave can I have no worries. ... If I am defeated in this battle, you can make him the emperor and separate the regime in Sichuan and Shu. Sichuan and Shu can be peaceful for a few years, and Li Jing is reliable. Be faithful to your mother and son!"

"Your Majesty, if you are defeated, what kind of emperor are you still called..."

Empress Changsun burst into sobs.Li Shimin said gently: "I'm just planning for the worst. Don't worry, even if Li Chongjiu wins Chang'an, I will make him pay a huge price and let him know the consequences."

While Li Shimin was talking to Empress Changsun, he heard Fang Xuanling's voice outside the hall saying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Zhao army in Hexi has moved!"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and the tiger's eyes trembled.

Gyeongju City.

On the city wall, Zhao Jun is attacking the city with ants!

Countless soldiers outside the city are flocking to the top of the city.

The big banner above the city looks extraordinarily lonely.The arrows on the city wall were completely weakened.

"when!"

There was only a loud noise, and the city gate was cut off!

The drawbridge fell with a bang.

The sound of fighting on the city wall became smaller and smaller, but after a moment of silence.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The sound was like thunder, and the soldiers of Zhao Jun cheered on the tower, holding their weapons high.

And at the moment when the city was broken, Duan Decao, governor of Qingzhou, glanced at the long sword in his hand, and then wiped it off his throat with a wry smile!
On June [-]rd of the sixth year of innovation.

Wang Junkuo led an army of 20 to attack Qingzhou. Duan Decao, the defender of Qingzhou City, resisted for less than half a day, and the whole city was broken.

Duan De fucked himself!
Finally, the final decisive battle between Tang and Zhao officially kicked off with the fall of Qingzhou City!
