Hundreds of C-virus monsters, the actual lethality is not too great, but this never-before-seen murderous thing brings a huge sense of fear to the Jiaozhi people.

When the defenders of the other cities urgently mobilized the Eight Bull Crossbows and cavalry to rush and kill, although these C-virus monsters had hard skin and bones, had no pain and were not afraid of death, they were still killed one by one, but before the Jiaozhi people began to cheer, a huge explosion came from the west gate of Thang Long City.

The first to enter the city were a herd of more than 800 war elephants, with sharp blades tied to their tusks and chains wrapped around their noses, and they had only one goal, that is, to step on everything in front of them.

The Eight Bull Crossbows of the Cochin people made another contribution, shooting more than a dozen war elephants on the spot, but this did not change much for the overall situation, and under the cover of the light infantry, the crossbowmen and grenadiers turned the Eight Ox Crossbows into the main targets.

When the hoplites appeared, the Jiaozhi people, who had lost the heavy weapon of the Eight Ox Crossbow, were no longer capable of harming them, and the neat Mo sword formation continued to move forward, and the blood of the Jiaozhi soldiers flowed into a river, and their corpses covered the streets of Thang Long City.

Li Renzong has spent most of his military career, robbed three state capitals from Zhancheng, plundered slaves in Zhenla and Dali, and dared to bow his teeth to the Great Song Dynasty, and he was also an emperor who experienced bloody rain.

Although the enemy attacked Thang Long City, Li Renzong did not despair, after all, he still had tens of thousands of Jiaozhi troops in his hands.

After returning to the imperial city, Li Renzong and many ministers waited anxiously for news in the city.

"Holy! The other three city gates were also blown open by the Song people! "The Praetorian Guard, who was in charge of finding out the news, brought the latest battle report.

Li Renzong thought for a while, then said with a cold face: "Tell the soldiers and civilians of Shenglong City that those who kill the first level of the Song army will be rewarded with ten yuan, those who cut the third level will be the upper army, and those who will be cut ten will be captains. If there is a retreat, there will be no forgiveness for those who steal the living! ”

"Order Zong Tan, the general of Zhenguo, to lead the whole army, quickly integrate the army of Thang Long City to control the whole city, and order Taifu Li Daocheng to recruit all the men who can fight in the city, and be sure to drive the Song people out of Thang Long City!"

The soldiers of Jiaozhi who were loyal to the Li Dynasty knew the importance of this battle, this is the capital of Jiaozhi, if you can't keep this city, it will be equivalent to being destroyed!

All the Jiaozhi soldiers in the city were like trapped beasts, they broke out with an unprecedented fighting spirit, their eyes were red and they held various weapons, and they went forward one after another to desperately block Li Nan's army in every street.

The courage of the Cochins was commendable, but they were confronted by a large number of light infantry, archers and grenadiers that formed the Roman battle formation, as well as the more ferocious hoplites of war fortresses.

The soldiers under Li Nan's command, who had been trained as killing machines, faced the Jiaozhi people who rushed up layer after layer, and they used the most labor-saving way to quickly kill them.

Even though Li Nan had already ordered a ban on killing ordinary Jiaozhi people in the city, the women and children of Jiaozhi began to attack the Song soldiers on the streets in order to protect their homeland, so a brutal and irrational killing began.

If you look down at Thang Long City at this time, you can see the soldiers of Li Nanjun in black military uniforms encroaching forward from all sides, surrounding the imperial city in the middle, while those Jiaozhi people who swore to defend the country to the death were desperately resisting.

The battle to storm the enemy's capital was not easy, and the corpses of the Jiaozhi people had blocked the streets, so much so that Li Nanjun had to transport a large number of corpses by car before they could continue the attack.

The tragic street fighting began at dawn and lasted for a whole day, with 100,000 Jiaozhi soldiers strewn with corpses everywhere.

In the evening, Zong Tan, the general of Zhenguo, hurriedly walked into the Golden Palace, knelt on the ground and played: "Holy Lord, the Song army has attacked outside the imperial city, and the Song army's attack is extremely terrifying, and their long-range weapons are by no means able to stop it with flesh and blood. Wechen thinks... The Holy One should be gone! ”

Sitting on the dragon chair made of pure gold, Li Renzong's gaze shot out of the main hall, and when he heard the faint sound of killing coming from all directions, he sighed and said: "If I abandon Shenglong City, then the Jiaozhi Kingdom created by Taizu will be destroyed, how should I face the ancestors and ancestors when I die?" ”

Looking at the many panicked ministers in the main hall, Li Renzong's expression became hideous, and he said viciously: "The Song people have attacked the capital of Jiaozhi State, what we have to do is to defend Shenglong City to the death, everyone is ready to die here, and there are those who shake the hearts of the army, and there will be no forgiveness!" ”

Li Renzong was indeed prepared to defend to the death, and he even ordered the imperial guards to pile up firewood and vegetable oil and other fire-burning things in the palaces everywhere, and several eunuchs carried poisonous wine prepared for the concubines and children.

When the emperor and his ministers withdrew to the imperial city for defense, the Jiaozhi soldiers in the city finally collapsed after a day of fighting, and a large number of Jiaozhi people chose to surrender on their knees, and some fled into the buildings on both sides of the street.

After leaving enough soldiers to kill the fleeing Jiaozhi people, Li Nan led the army to advance to the imperial city.

Under the cover of the eight-oxen crossbow and catapults, the four war elephants galloped through the wide streets, and they dragged a thick log towards the imperial city gate, and when they were still dozens of paces away from the city gate, the elephants cut the rope that bound the giant tree with their sharp knives wrapped in their noses, and the giant tree slammed into the gate of the Cochin Imperial City with inertia.

The two sturdy Imperial City Gates were smashed open, and the force carried by the thick wood was too great, and they flew directly through the city gate hole, killing many unlucky Imperial City Guards along the way, and finally fell on the square.

"Shut up the gates!" The leader of the Praetorian Guard commanded hoarsely.

Although the Cochins were fast, it was too late, and a large number of arrows and grenades were projected through the breached gate, and then the hoplites rushed in with their swords.

After learning that the Song army had invaded the imperial city, Li Renzong, who originally regarded death as his home, felt the fear from death, and he suddenly changed his mind.

Li Renzong shouted eagerly: "Gather the Imperial Forest Iron Guard to protect me from the secret passage!" ”

Thousands of Imperial Forest Iron Guards in silver armor were selected from the Jiaozhi Army and came to the Golden Palace, preparing to protect Li Renzong as he went to the secret passage in the palace.

When the ministers in the main hall saw that Li Renzong was about to run, they immediately cried in unison: "Holy Lord, take us with you, we are willing to continue to follow you!" ”

Li Renzong, who came to the gate of the Golden Palace, glanced at the ministers and said coldly: "Jiaozhi is now broken by the country, and your sins are unforgivable, so you should be loyal here!" ”

After Li Renzong left, dozens of imperial guards drew their weapons and approached the ministers in the main hall.

The ministers in the main hall all understood what Li Renzong meant at this time, and they also knew that their lives were about to come to an end.

Looking at the expressionless guards in front of the palace, some people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, some people scolded them, some people wanted to escape, and in the face of life and death, all of them showed the most instinctive state of human beings.

Seeing that these royal forest guards were about to make a move, the old Taifu Li Daocheng walked out of the crowd and shouted: "Stop!" ”

As the so-called people become old and refined, they have served two generations of emperors in Jiaozhi, and Li Daocheng, who is above 10,000 people under one person, can not have hole cards. Just when everyone thought that Li Daocheng was going to die under the sword, they didn't want these ruthless imperial guards to really stop their actions obediently.

After drinking and stopping these imperial guards who had been bought off a long time ago, Li Caocheng turned around and said to the ministers: "Li Qiande is ruthless and unrighteous, he is a traitorous king, and now life and death are just around the corner, are you willing to find a way to live with me?" ”

To survive or to perish, this is a question for Hamlet, but it should be an easy choice question for these ministers who have been abandoned by their own kings.

Everyone said in unison: "We are willing to obey the old lady's dispatch!" ”

"Good!" Li Daocheng nodded and said: "Now our capital is this imperial city, as long as everyone works together to protect this place, with this merit, the old man is willing to discuss with the Song general Li Nan to find a way for everyone to survive." ”
