Chapter 461: Lu Dongzan's Death
Li Hao's voice came into the ears of every Tang Jun, and also penetrated into their hearts, they felt that their souls were stirring, and the blood in their bodies was churning, maybe they joined the army just for fame, military fields, or a mouthful of military food, but at this moment, they have long forgotten their original selfish desires, and the straight corpses of more than two hundred soldiers in front of them, coupled with Li Hao's interpretation, are like a light in the darkness, pointing out the direction of their life path, and they are destined to no longer be confused in this life.
Time is urgent, although Li Hao is sad in his heart, but he doesn't have time to say too much, he ordered the corpses of this group of heroes to be removed, placed aside, and sent thousands of people to protect them temporarily, he decided to put up a monument to bury them afterwards, at present, the most important thing is to enter the city with a large army.
The army poured into the imperial city from the Vermilion Bird Gate, and Li Hao allocated 10,000 horses to Xue Rengui, asking him to quickly lead the army to the Taiji Palace to rescue him, and he wanted to stay and settle accounts with Lu Dongzan.
When he saw Li Hao's army entering the city, Lu Dongzan looked down, looked up at the sky, and sighed loudly: "Time is not with me, since God gave birth to me Geerdongzan, why should I give birth to a Li Hao." ”
This exclamation has the taste of both Yu and Shengliang.
Li Hao ordered more than 20,000 troops to storm the city, and the Tubo army retreated one after another, defending the southern city wall to prevent the Tang army from boarding the city.
Although the number of the Tubo army is more than that of the Tang army, they are desperate to resist, but their morale has been lost, and their combat strength is low, on the other hand, the Tang army, the more than 200 black corpses of the Xuanjia army and Li Hao's words made their blood boil, they were all like fighting chicken blood, they were as excited as beasts, and launched a strong onslaught on the Tubo army, which was unstoppable, and the Tubo army retreated.
The southern city wall of the imperial city is full of war, the shouting of killing is shocking, countless corpses roll down from the city, there is too much blood, in the cold weather, a large area of white fog has almost been formed, this battle, can not be described by the word tragic.
At dusk, the sky was getting dark, Ge Erdongzan walked to the battlements, looked at Li Hao below, the commanders of the two armies looked at each other, and time seemed to stand still.
At this moment, Li Ji arrived with an army of 50,000 and arrived outside the Suzaku Gate, and after hearing this report, Ge Erdong sighed, he knew that they had no hope of even the last glimmer of turning the tables.
"Stop it all!" Gerdonzan suddenly raised his hands and drank heavily, and the armies on both sides stopped, and turned their heads to look at him.
"Li Hao! You win! Ge Erdong looked at Li Hao under the city, his expression was gloomy, and he seemed to be more than ten years old for a while.
Li Hao asked expressionlessly, "Are you dead?" Or is it down? ”
Lu Dongzan turned his head to look around at the remaining 20,000 Tubo troops, only to see that they were also staring at him, yes, he was the commander of the army, and the Tubo Prime Minister was their leader, so they naturally had to stare at him.
Lu Dongzan thought that when he set out on the expedition, he came with an army of 150,000, and now, only 20,000 remnants of the army were defeated, at this moment, some people have fierce expressions, some people have confused expressions, some people have painful expressions, and some people are quite annoyed......
"I didn't take them with me." Lu Dongzan sighed secretly in his heart, and then said loudly, "Soldiers, put down your weapons." ”
Lu Dongzan surrendered, although many Tibetan warriors were unwilling, but most of the Tubo army knew that the general trend had gone, and now that the commander had an order, they naturally complied and put down their weapons one after another.
Li Hao waved his hand, and the Tang army stepped forward to escort these Tubo warriors down the city tower, and at the same time, Li Jiliu left 40,000 troops outside the Suzaku Gate and entered the imperial city with 10,000 troops, and Li Hao asked him to send people to escort the Tubo prisoners together.
When all the Tibetan captives were escorted and knelt in front of the Suzaku Gate, it was already dark at night, the stars were all over the sky, countless braziers were erected around, countless torches were lit, and the huge Suzaku Gate was illuminated as if it were day, and now there was only Lu Dongzan on the city tower.
Lu Dongzan looked at the direction of Taiji Palace, and found that the war over there had ended, coincidentally, there were heralds to Li Hao to send orders, Li Yuanzhong Peng Hai, led Jin Wuwei and the eight hundred Xuanjia army to guard the Chengtian Gate to the death, although the Chengtian Gate was breached, the Tubo army failed to enter the Taiji Palace, Xue Rengui brought 10,000 troops to arrive, reversed the overall situation, however, the eight hundred Xuanjia army all died, no life remained......
Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, his eyes turned red again, and the eight hundred Xuanjia Army was gone, so that there were only more than six hundred people left in the five thousand Xuanjia Army trained in Liuqiu, Li Hao touched his chest with his hand, and felt a burst of heartache.
After hearing these words, Lu Dongzan at the head of the city looked in the direction of Taiji Palace and sighed loudly: "It's a failure!" What a failure! ”
Li Hao was in a bad mood at the moment, Lu Dongzan dared to pretend to be forced, he was simply provoking Li Hao's majesty, Li Hao suddenly glared and shouted: "Take all the Tubo prisoners!" Kill them all! Not a single one to stay! ”
Lu Dongzan suddenly exclaimed when he heard this: "Li Hao! How dare you! ”
"Shut your foul mouth!" Li Hao glared at Lu Dongzan, and said in a cold voice, "You Tubo dare to invade my Tang territory, burn, kill and loot along the way, destroy how many states and counties, kill how many people in my Tang Dynasty, and destroy my Tang capital like this, why don't I dare to kill you barbarian prisoners, do you really think that you can be a hundred by kneeling and surrendering!" ”
Lu Dongzan's facial muscles trembled, but he was speechless, Li Hao continued: "Tell you, this is just an interest, or it won't be long before this king will lead a large army to your snowy plateau and take off the head of Songtsan Gampo!" ”
After he said this, he directly took out a command flag and shouted loudly: "Pass on the commander's military order!" All captives! Kill them all! ”
In an instant, the front of the Suzaku Gate was full of frightened screams and begging for mercy, and then there was a burst of skull-cutting sounds, countless figures who lost their heads fell one after another, and in the cold night, there was a smell of blood everywhere, and Chang'an City was experiencing the bloodiest and cruelest day in history.
Lu Dongzan stood on the city tower, looking at the slaughter of the Tubo army below, his heart was like being twisted by a knife, he never thought that Li Hao was so cruel, he would kill prisoners, it was the first time he heard that the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains would do such a thing, anger, remorse, sorrow, humiliation...... All kinds of complex emotions filled Lu Dongzan's heart, but he never thought that when he tortured and killed the people of Datang in the major states and counties of Datang, he would be even more cruel than this.
"Li Hao, if you die today, you won't be complacent, you must not die well!" Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and shouted, suddenly climbed onto the battlements, jumped down suddenly, and then only heard a muffled sound of "poof", Ge Dongzan was already lying in front of the Suzaku Gate, his hands and feet twitched a few times, blood gradually overflowed from his mouth and nose, and there was no movement.
Li Hao looked at Ge Dongzan's corpse and snorted coldly: "Whether I will die well or not, it's not your turn to judge, General Li Ji, please save Lu Dongzan's body with ice cubes, and wait for Your Majesty to decide!" ”
"Yes!" Li Ji gave up his order, and even sent someone to carry away Geerdongzan's body.
Next, Li Hao led the army to the Taiji Palace, came to the Chengtian Gate, only to see that the Chengtian Gate was closed, and there were some Jin Wuwei and left and right Xiaowei standing on the head of the city, on the palace wall, full of devastation, at the foot of the palace wall, there were bloodstains, corpses, arrows, and unextinguished war.
