I'm a marquis in Datang

"Yes!"

Shangguanyi got the order, turned around and went down to make arrangements.

Chapter 1231

破城

Time is fleeting.

In a flash, it was time to attack.

When the sun rises in the morning, the golden sun shines down and shrouds the city of Chang'an.The mottled city of Chang'an seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.But at this moment on the city tower, Li Daozong was already wearing armor, with a solemn expression on his face.

According to what Du Qi said before, today is the time for Du Qi to attack.So Li Daozong arrived early in the morning.Li Daozong stood on the city tower, leaning his hand on the city wall, looking into the distance, waiting quietly.

Right now, Xia Guo's army hasn't killed yet.

"Boom! Boom!!!"

The sound of war drums suddenly came from far and near.accompanied by

With the sound of war drums, everyone on the tower became tense, without any relaxation, and all of them looked solemn.

Li Daozong's eyes became sharper.

finally come.

Accompanied by the sound of war drums, not long after, Li Daozong could clearly see a black line appearing on the official road in the distance.This black line squirmed quickly, and within a short time, Xia Guo's army could be clearly seen.

The black army is approaching quickly.

When less than a hundred steps away from the city, the army stopped.

Du Qice stood in front of the battle. This time he didn't talk nonsense with Li Daozong, he looked directly at Xue Rengui, and ordered: "Send down the order, bombard the city tower, and then attack directly. This time, there is an internal response, and we will smash Chang'an City with all our strength."

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui responded immediately.

Immediately, Xue Rengui made arrangements.In a short period of time, the artillery stepped forward, and a series of mortars were aimed at the tower, and they had already started bombarding the tower.Accompanied by the sound of rumbling cannons, shells fell on the tower and exploded.

For a moment, sand and stones splashed.

The sound was deafening and terrifying.

Li Daozong saw the explosion of gunpowder, but he didn't panic at all.This scene was in his expectation.Li Daozong only needs to be able to hold on for a while, and it is enough to be able to block some time.Li Daozong kept ordering the soldiers to hide.

Li Daozong's gaze was fixed on the outside of the city.Because when the artillery suppressed his defensive force on the tower, Xia Guo's army had already started to attack, and the soldiers were constantly approaching the tower.especially rushing one by one

The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom who came screamed like tigers and wolves, and their menace was shocking.

Li Daozong looked back at the soldiers under his command, and now the morale is very low.Under this premise, it is even more difficult to resist Xia Guo's army, so in Li Daozong's heart, he no longer has much hope, and only hopes to delay for a few more days.

Only in this way can we buy time.

Not long after, Xia Guo's army had reached the bottom of the city tower and began to climb the city wall.

One by one, the ladders are built up.

Xia Guo soldiers climbed up quickly like apes.These soldiers are usually trained, whether it is the speed of climbing or their own courage, they are extremely strong.Even though the guarding soldiers of the Tang army were heavily defended, these soldiers continued to attack, regardless of the danger.

.

Li Daozong mobilized soldiers to resist, but when Li Daozong ordered to resist, suddenly there was a cry of killing in the city.

An army rushed out abruptly and came quickly.

This army was surprisingly composed of private soldiers gathered by the Han family headed by Han Yun, with a total of more than [-] people.The private soldiers assembled by the major families are all fully armed, wearing armor, and holding weapons.

More than [-] people came here in a mighty manner, but they did not go up the tower, but rushed straight to the gate of the city.

After seeing Lan Changhe, he knew in his heart that the plan had already begun.He has known about Han Yun and others' actions for a long time, and he also knows the whole plan.Now that the forces in the city are coming, it means that the people of the major families in the city who are staring at the gunpowder are ready to take action to evacuate the gunpowder from all locations.

Lan Changhe looked at Li Daozong, and took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, I can't hold it anymore. There are so many troops in the city suddenly. If we arrange troops to resist now, the guards on our towers are not enough. If we don't resist, the city gate will be captured soon." When the time comes, Du Qi's army will come, let's retreat."

Lan Changhe made a suggestion.

Even though he had betrayed Li Daozong, he didn't want Li Daozong to die.So at the moment, Lan Changhe proposed to retreat. He hoped that Li Daozong would leave, and he would retreat with Li Daozong for a while, and then quietly stay in Chang'an.

He has already betrayed Li Daozong, and it is impossible to follow Li Daozong all the time.

After Li Daozong heard it, he shook his head and said: "Lan Changshi, this king has already said that he will live and die with Chang'an to the death. This king will stick to the top of the city. You

Now go to send an order to let the soldiers in charge of guarding the gunpowder everywhere ignite the gunpowder and detonate Chang'an.Then, don't come back again, just leave by yourself. "

Lan Changhe was moved and even more guilty, he said: "Your Highness, why are you bothering?"

Li Daozong said in a deep voice: "There is nothing worthwhile or not, only your own persistence. Well, stop talking nonsense, act quickly, hurry up, and don't miss the best opportunity."

"Retire from humble position!"

Lan Changhe gritted his teeth, turned and left.

Li Daozong looked at the back of Lan Changhe's departure, and then withdrew his gaze and stared outside the city again.Seeing that more and more Xia soldiers were coming up, and in this short period of time, the soldiers in the city had reached the gate of the city. After the gate opened with a creak, the Xia soldiers outside the city had already quickly killed and entered the city. .

The army outside the city entered and began to kill along the Chidao to the tower.

"Hahaha, good time, good time, boys, fight to the death, fight to the end."

Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, Li Daozong didn't feel any fear at all, but shouted loudly.At this stage of Li Daozong, he had already decided to fight to the end, so even if the city gate was broken, even if the army of Xia State came to kill him, Li Daozong never had the slightest fear, on the contrary, his fighting spirit was high.

He drew his sword out of its sheath, and with his personal guards, he personally committed suicide among the crowd, and with his personal guards, beheaded the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom who went up to the tower one by one.It's just that with the passage of time, more and more Xia soldiers surrounded Li Daozong, and fewer and fewer Tang soldiers around him. Gradually, in the end, Li Daozong and his personal guards were surrounded by groups.

At this moment, Li Daozong had no chance to retreat.

Li Daozong still commanded the soldiers to fight, and gradually, the guards around Li Daozong also fell one after another.In the end, all the guards were beheaded, and at this time there were only a few soldiers of the Tang army left on the tower, either they put down their weapons and surrendered, or they were slaughtered because of their resistance.

Thousands of Tang troops have already been defeated.

Li Daozong looked around and looked away.When he saw the last bodyguard beside him being beheaded, he felt sorry for him, and finally reached this point.At this moment, the Xia soldiers who surrounded Li Daozong did not go forward to take Li Daozong down, but surrounded Li Daozong and prevented Li Daozong from evacuating.

At this time Du Qi had already entered the city from outside the city and came to the tower.He walked not far from Li Daozong, and said, "Li Daozong, you have lost this battle."

Li Daozong raised his sword and said loudly, "Du Qi, don't you want to fight?"

Rampant, I've gone to light the powder.Just wait, the whole of Chang'an will be detonated by gunpowder.The Chang'an you conquered will be in ruins. "

Du Qi sneered.
