On the road to heaven, more than 900 Xuanjia troops are striding forward, fighting for a day, they are already exhausted, but the potential of people is infinite, at this moment they have only one thought in their hearts, open the Vermilion Bird Gate, so their pace has not stopped for a moment.

In the face of the advance of the Xuanjia army, a thousand Tubo troops continued to retreat, they had been killed, they no longer dared to fight, even if the Tubo people were naturally fierce, they were still people, in their opinion, the group of magical troops holding swords and shields in front of them had surpassed the scope of people.

"Great Phase! What to do? There are still nearly 1,000 people in that group of strange troops, and the enemy army outside the city is attacking the city more and more fiercely, and we have suffered heavy losses, and we can only draw 3,000 people at most! A Tibetan general asked urgently beside Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan narrowed his eyes, and suddenly asked, "How much oil is there?" ”

"It's not much, there are more than 3,000 catties!"

Lu Dongzan said coldly: "Pour all these more than 3,000 catties of fire oil on the Vermilion Bird Gate Road, and don't light the fire first." ”

"Great Phase!" When the Tubo general heard this, he exclaimed, "Great Minister! So that there will be no oil to defend the city......"

However, Lu Dongzan glared at him fiercely, and snorted coldly: "Do you still use you to command the original phase to fight?" Go for it! ”

"Yes!" The Tubo general was helpless, so he immediately took people to carry the oil with his hands, and then sprinkled all the oil on the Vermilion Bird Gate.

On the road to heaven, Xue Rengui and Chen Bin took the only remaining nine hundred Xuanjia troops, all the way forward, the Tubo army continued to retreat, although there were other Tubo troops to help, the current Tubo army has 2,000 people, but these Tubo troops no longer dare to stop them, just keep retreating.

Finally, the Suzaku Gate was in sight, and there was only less than a mile left, Xue Rengui suddenly glared and shouted: "Rush!" ”

The Xuanjia army quickly changed its charging formation and rushed forward, and the two thousand Tubo army seemed to see the giant beast of the flood desolate open its mouth, and they were so frightened that they suddenly scattered and fled, and Xue Rengui and them rushed to the Vermilion Bird Gate without any hindrance.

Although the Vermilion Bird Gate is not as tall and magnificent as the Mingde Gate, it is the main gate of the Chang'an Imperial City, which is the same magnificent, and it is also five gates, that is, five city gate holes, which should be said to be "the five gates of the Son of Heaven".

However, at this moment, the five city gate holes were wet, and the smell of fire oil was everywhere, Xue Rengui immediately understood after seeing it, stopped in front of the Suzaku Gate, gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Dongzan on the tower of the Vermilion Gate Gate, Lu Dongzan was also standing by the city wall at the moment, holding the battlements in his hands, looking at him with a sneer, Xue Rengui had to admit that this Lu Dongzan was really powerful, just a simple move, it could stop them, so that they did not dare to approach the city gate, as long as they entered the city gate hole, the Tubo army would definitely use fire arrows to ignite the fire oil, and the city gate hole became an oven, and burned them alive in the cave of the city gate.

"General Xue, what should I do?" When Chen Bin saw the fire oil on the ground in the hole of the city gate, he also frowned, and asked Xue Rengui.

At this moment, the cheers of the Tubo army suddenly came from the direction of the Taiji Palace, and Lu Dongzan at the head of the city shouted in surprise when he saw this, but he spoke in Tubo.

Fortunately, there was a soldier in the Xuanjia Army who could understand a little Tubo language, so he hurriedly came to Xue Rengui's side and said, "General Xue, it's not good, the enemy commander just said that Chengtianmen has been captured!" ”

"What!" Xue Rengui was shocked when he heard this, Chengtianmen is the main gate of Taiji Palace, if Chengtianmen is captured, it will not take half an hour, and the Tubo army will be killed in the Taiji Inner Palace, and the emperor will be in danger at that time.

Xue Rengui gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "There's no time!" Open the door! With that, the first one rushed forward.

The nine hundred Xuanjia troops in the rear followed one after another, and rushed into the city gate hole in the middle without hesitation.

As soon as they rushed into half, hundreds of fire arrows were shot at the head of the city, and all the Xuanjia troops raised their shields to block most of the fire arrows, but there were still fire arrows falling from the gaps in the iron shield, and then, a scene that made people tremble appeared, only to see more than two hundred Xuanjia soldiers, neatly lined up in three rows, and each row of Xuanjia troops connected the iron shields tightly and placed them on the ground, forming three rows of strict shield walls. However, when the fire burned against the iron shield wall, it obviously stopped, and then the fire slowly seeped through the iron shield wall, and the first row of Xuanjia soldiers was quickly engulfed in flames, but they stood there like stone statues, motionless, and no one even shouted, allowing the fire to burn their bodies.

"The spear will always guard the soul of the Tang Dynasty!" A Xuanjia army who was covered in fire suddenly roared, he hadn't read many books, but he had read Li Hao's military law poems, and he liked this sentence the most, so he decided to roar out at the last moment of his life.

The rest of the Xuanjia also shouted in unison: "The spear will always guard the soul of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"The spear will always guard the soul of the Tang Dynasty!" The high-pitched roar continued to echo in the Suzaku Gate, shocking people's souls.

Li Hao, who was directing the battle outside the city gate, heard this roar one after another, and after being stunned for a moment, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted wildly: "Pass on the commander's military order, go all out to attack the city!" Leave nothing unturned! ”

The military drum beat loudly, the Tang army roared again, attacking the city with all its might, Li Hao looked at the Suzaku Gate with a worried face, from the roar of the Xuanjia army, he could hear that this was the roar of the heart of death after falling into a desperate situation, roaring out the arrogance of the soldiers, roaring out the military soul of the Tang people, just like he was in Tingzhou.

The fire engulfed the first row of the Xuanjia Army, and began to infiltrate the second row, and then the third row, the roar of the Xuanjia Army soldiers became weaker and weaker, but they did not move from beginning to end, although the iron shield wall of the three rows of Xuanjia Army could not stop the fire, but it was very effective in slowing down the spread of the flames, they bought time for their comrades, not so much a three-row shield wall, but a three-row human wall, and many Tubo soldiers saw this scene in the city gate cave, and they were all frightened and screamed, as if they had seen a ghost, The national spirit and arrogance of the sons and daughters of China will never be appreciated by this group of barbarians.

Xue Rengui turned around and saw the Xuanjia Army in the raging fire, two lines of tears rolled down, but he knew that now was not the time to cry sadly, because the Chongcheng wood outside the city was hitting the city gate, they couldn't push the door latch, Xue Rengui quickly pulled out his Tang knife and used all his strength to cut off the middle part of the door latch.

There was a muffled sound of "pop", Xue Rengui's Tang knife broke in response, and half of the knife was trapped in the door latch, only three inches into the wood, which could not have much impact on the thick door latch, and the Vermilion Bird Gate was really strong.

"Mo Dao!" Xue Rengui roared, and Chen Bin handed him his Mo knife.

Xue Rengui took the Mo knife, first pulled out the broken knife stuck on the door latch, and slashed again, "Smack!" Xue Rengui is really strong in martial arts, swinging the knife is not only powerful, but also extremely accurate, this knife, split in the crack of the previous knife, expanding the original three-inch gap to five inches, and the Mo knife was also cut by his huge force.

However, the three rows of Xuanjia soldiers who resisted the fire were all on fire at this moment, and seventy more Xuanjia soldiers rushed out, connecting in a row, with iron shields close to each other, forming a new wall to block the fire and buy time for Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui saw that there were seventy more Xuanjia soldiers going to die, his heart seemed to be stabbed, he felt that he was going crazy, he roared wildly, snatched the Mo knife from the hand of a Xuanjia army, and used all his strength to slash on the door latch, which was still in that position.

There was a "click", just as the chong city wood outside the door hit the city gate at the same time, the door latch was broken in response, and the city gate was rushed open, almost hitting Xue Rengui, but fortunately Xue Rengui flashed fast.

"The gates are open!" Outside the city, the Tang army shouted excitedly.

Li Hao happened to be in front of the formation, and his eyes had been staring at the Suzaku Gate, he saw Xue Rengui and them pouring out of the city gate, the fire in the city gate hole behind, in the fire, he faintly saw four rows of figures, standing neatly in the fire, motionless, some people were even shouting "The spear will always guard the soul of the Tang Dynasty".

Xue Rengui, under the protection of the iron shield of the Xuanjia Army, braved the rain of arrows to come to Li Hao, Li Hao pointed to the fire in the city gate cave and the figure in the fire, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Xue Rengui glanced back, his eyes were red, and said: "Lu Dongzan sprinkled fire oil in the hole of the city gate, and the brothers used shields to build a wall to block the fire and buy time for us to open the city gate." ”

Li Hao only felt that his nose was sour, and tears soaked his eyes, he raised his head and tried to force the tears back, and after a while, his eyes were red and said: "Although it is a military order, you don't have to be in such a hurry." ”

"No, no, no." Xue Rengui said with a solemn face, "The Chengtian Gate has been broken. ”

"What!" Li Hao glared at him when he heard this, and then shouted an order, "Everyone bring dirt and put out the fire!" Enter the city! ”

When the army heard this, they hurriedly dug up the earth, wrapped it in cloth, and rushed towards the Suzaku Gate, and the bed crossbows in the rear fired wildly to cover them.

Although the fire in the city gate cave is very large, but tens of thousands of troops brought soil, and the fire in the city gate cave was extinguished in a moment, and then only saw four rows of soldiers holding Mo swords and iron shields blocking the entrance of the city gate, blocking their way, but these soldiers have been burned into a charcoal, except for the Mo sword and iron shield, no one can distinguish their identities, they are like monuments, with life and blood to guard the peace of the country.

Li Hao took the Xuanjia army to stand in the city gate hole, looking at the four rows of Xuanjia soldiers who had become black and dry corpses, he could no longer hold back the sadness and excitement in his heart, tears rolled down his cheeks, after a while, Li Hao suddenly put his feet together, and gave a standard military salute to this group of Xuanjia soldiers who had turned into dry corpses, and then said in a deep voice: "After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he built the Great Wall to resist the invasion of the Huns, but he used tyranny to govern the country and whip the people, he didn't know that the real Great Wall was in the hearts of the people, As long as our Chinese sons and daughters are united and united, it is the most impregnable Great Wall in the world, and these warriors in front of them, they used their blood and bodies to resist the barbarians and defend the country before their deaths...... It is the real Great Wall of our Datang! ”
