Chapter 459: Bloodstained Imperial City (II)

Lu Dongzan, who was checking the battle situation inside and outside the imperial city at the head of the city, found the Xuanjia army, was startled at first, and then shouted: "Bayan, quickly lead 10,000 troops to kill them!" ”

"Yes!" A middle-aged Tibetan general took the order, and then saw 10,000 troops rushing down from the city wall, along the road to heaven, head-on to the Xuanjia army.

"Roar!" The five thousand Xuanjia troops roared in unison, changing the formation again, this is the most regular phalanx, each row of Xuanjia troops erected a wide iron shield, like an iron wall, rushing towards the Tubo army.

Li Hao heard the movement in the city, his heart was overjoyed, this familiar roar was the unique signal of the Xuanjia Army to change the formation, Li Hao held the command flag and shouted: "Pass on the commander's military order, go all out to attack the city!" ”

The army outside the city rushed to the city walls with ladders and began to charge, and the fire of catapults and bed crossbows suppressed them to cover their siege.

The Tubo army at the head of the city began to throw stones and rolling wood downwards, pour boiling water, and the Tang army climbed the city wall, but was killed by the Tubo army, although the number of both sides is now equal, but the difficulty of attacking the city must be many times more difficult than defending the city.

And at this moment, a fast horse galloped from the direction of Chunming Gate, holding high the command flag and came to Li Hao's tooth tent, this is the herald in Li Guocheng's Xuanjia army, the herald dismounted and saluted Li Hao, and said: "Marshal, General Li Yuanzhong, who guards the Xuanwu Gate, closes the Xuanwu Gate and does not let us in!" ”

"What?" Li Hao frowned when he heard this, raised his voice and asked, "Why is this?" ”

The herald said: "General Li Yuanzhong said that he was acting on the orders of the emperor, and he didn't explain too much, General Li Guocheng asked his subordinates to ask the marshal whether to return and help the general attack the city together." ”

"No need!" Li Hao frowned and pondered for a moment, then said coldly, "Let him lead the troops to retreat north for twenty miles, he is not needed here." ”

"Dashuai ......" The herald shouted urgently when he heard this, they came to King Qin with enthusiasm, but Li Hao did not let them help attack the city, which was simply pouring cold water on the blood.

"Needless to say! That's an order! Li Hao's tone was unquestionable.

"Yes!" The herald had no choice but to turn over his horse and gallop away.

Looking at the battlefield where the battle was raging, Li Hao shook his head and sighed bitterly, he knew that Li Shimin's suspicious mistake had been made again, since this was the case, then it was better not to let him know about the five thousand Xuanjia Army, otherwise the matter of his private training of the Xuanjia Army would definitely be found out, and then he and these Xuanjia Army would be in trouble, besides, the armor of the Xuanjia Army was too heavy and not suitable for attacking the city at all, which was the point.

It's just that, in this way, it will be hard for Xue Rengui and those Xuanjia troops in the city, although the Xuanjia army is strong, but it is too dangerous to go deep in such a lonely army, and with Lu Dongzan's smart mind, he will definitely find the weakness of the Xuanjia army.

The Xuanjia army in the city has already abandoned the war horse, formed three long iron shield formations and continued to advance towards the Vermilion Bird Gate, the Tubo army along the way wanted to resist, but they could not break through their defenses, once they approached, they would be killed by the Mo knife or crippled, as for the arrows, the Xuanjia army was not afraid, there was an iron shield to guard, why not be afraid of arrows.

Lu Dongzan looked at the Xuanjia army in the imperial city at the head of the city, his eyebrows were frowning, he could see that these ironclad armies with swords and shields were planning to forcibly take the Vermilion Bird Gate, as long as the Vermilion Bird Gate was taken, the army of King Qin outside the gate would pour into the imperial city, and when the time came, he Lu Dongzan would not be able to escape with his wings.

The appearance of the Xuanjia Army really surprised Geerdonzan, he couldn't believe that there was such a terrible class of troops in the world, and the combat power was terrifying, and there were already more than 10,000 troops to stop them, but they suffered heavy casualties, on the other hand, the Xuanjia Army has only lost 100 people so far.

Lu Dongzan observed for another moment, and suddenly shouted: "Pour fire oil!" Burn them! ”

He finally discovered the weakness of the Xuanjia Army, that's right, the Xuanjia Army is afraid of water and fire.

At the sound of the order, thousands of Tibetan troops arrived, and they threw clay pots into the formation of the Xuanjia army from afar, and the clay pots were broken, and the smell of fire oil overflowed.

Xue Rengui smelled the smell of fire oil, and his heart sank, the first batch of Xuanjia Army was trained by Xue Rengui himself, at that time, Li Hao told Xue Rengui that no army is invincible, and the Xuanjia Army also has their weaknesses, afraid of water and fire.

Xue Rengui immediately shouted: "The enemy army wants to use fire!" Everybody's on orders! People who mask their faces with towels, cut water bladders, and have fire oil on their bodies! Back off! Withdraw from the battle formation! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people who had been splashed with fire oil on their bodies quickly retreated, and at the same time, the other Xuanjia soldiers took out thick cloth towels to cover their mouths and noses, untied the large water bladders on their bodies, cut them with knives, and drenched themselves from head to toe with the water inside.

Now that Li Hao knows the weakness of the Xuanjia Army, he naturally has to take countermeasures, he ordered each Xuanjia Army to carry a thick cloth towel and a large water bladder, ten catties of water in the water bladder, you can barely wet yourself, and the cloth towel can prevent choking on smoke, this is a stupid way, but it is also the only way Li Hao can think of.

In such a cold weather, he poured cold water on his whole body, Xue Rengui was so cold that he wanted to scold his mother, and the idea that Li Hao came up with was so rancid.

Just when the Xuanjia army was frozen and their teeth trembled, countless fire arrows flew in the sky, and the Xuanjia army hurriedly erected an iron shield to resist.

The fire bolt fell to the ground, instantly igniting the fire oil on the ground, and the fire rose, and Tongtian Dao suddenly fell into a sea of fire, and the whirring sound of the flame could almost be heard.

"Rush!" Xue Rengui and Chen Bin roared loudly, in the face of such a fire, many Xuanjia troops were instantly engulfed by the fire even if they were soaked, they could only rush forward and escape from this sea of fire, and the formation was also chaotic.

The 7,000 Tibetan army in front rushed up, and they had already received an order to block them and let this group of iron-clad monster troops die in the flames.

There are more than 800 Xuanjia soldiers because of the oil poured on their bodies, withdraw from the battle formation in advance, stand in the rear and watch the comrades in front of them fight weakly, silently crying, they really want to go over to help them, but they know that once they rush into the fire, they are fuel, they are going to die, they can't help at all, some people are impatient, so angry that they keep beating the ground with their fists, it seems that only in this way can they relieve the anger in their hearts.

"Let's go back! Kill those Tibetan barbarians who attacked Taiji Palace! "There's a team that's proposing.

"Let's go! Go back and kill those besieging brutes! The others responded, and the eight hundred Xuanjia troops suddenly turned around and rushed towards Chengtianmen, where the war was also busy, and there were many Tubo troops waiting for them to be killed.

The fire was ruthless, and the three thousand Xuanjia troops were blocked in the fire, fortunately they had already been drenched, otherwise I am afraid that the whole army would have been wiped out by now, and if this is the case, the three thousand Xuanjia army is now only two thousand people, and a thousand people have been killed in the fire, and the rest of them have been burned by the fire more or less.

The fire was ruthless, but it also inspired the fighting spirit of the Xuanjia soldiers even more, there is fire in the rear, they must move forward bravely, if they don't move forward, they will die.

The road to heaven was full of screams and roars, and the fire illuminated the eyes of every Xuanjia army, their eyes at the moment, like beasts that would eat people, in the face of the Tubo army several times their size, they were trembling, trembling with excitement, trembling with excitement, they were wandering on the edge of death, eager to kill, they were born to fight.

I don't know how long it was, but the fire was extinguished, and the blood that was extinguished by the blood, and the blood that was all over the ground, became a river, and the fire was extinguished.

There are less than a thousand people left in the Xuanjia army, their swords are no longer complete, their shields are no longer distinct, their bodies are no longer complete, everyone is injured, including Xue Rengui, they are standing there, as if they have a momentum to the sky, as if representing the god of death.

The eyes of the seven thousand Tubo troops who blocked them were only one thousand, and at this moment, the eyes of the thousand Tubo troops were full of fear, and they felt that they were not facing the Tang army, but the fierce beasts of the wilderness, their hands holding the knives were trembling, and they were slowly retreating, because if they didn't retreat, they would die.

Lu Dongzan at the head of the city looked at the Xuanjia army on the road to heaven, he was also dumbfounded, he thought that his vision was extremely high, but he thought that there should not be such a terrible class of troops in the world, they had surpassed Lu Dongzan's cognition of war, beyond the limits of human beings, even as an enemy, he was also in awe of this group of Xuanjia army.
