Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Two: Breaking the Tang Capital
By now, they all knew that the capital of the Tang Kingdom would be difficult to hold on to.
Three days later.
An army of millions attacked the city.
This was the largest battle since the Wei army attacked the city.
Zhao Changqing personally directed the siege.
All generals, all go into battle.
Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others all came to the front of the formation to assist the emperor in commanding.
Today, the Wei army is about to capture the capital of Tang Dynasty.
Zuo Buqun, Wang Yunhe, and Fang Xin have already asked the soldiers to prepare for defense, and they are always on guard and do not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Before the war, there were no unnecessary words.
After the Wei army officers and soldiers spread out to the battlefield, they directly attacked the city.
There is no need to talk nonsense with Tang Jun at all.
Zuo Buqun and three others pulled out their sharp swords and shouted in unison: "Fire the arrow!"
The soldiers of the Tang army, who crowded the capital of the Tang Dynasty, immediately drew their bows and fired countless arrows into the Wei army's camp.
Groups of Wei soldiers fell to the ground due to enemy arrows.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, and the general next to him understood what he meant.
More than a hundred trebuchets were quickly launched.
Huge boulders fell on the Tang Army's city gate.
The impact of the boulders damaged many city walls.
If we say that the capital of the Tang Army a few months ago was the first city in the Tang Kingdom.
So the current capital of the Tang Dynasty is not even comparable to an ordinary town.
For many days, the city had been ravaged by sieges, and there was no time to repair it. It was already as tattered as a beggar's clothes.
This greatly increased the difficulty of defending the city.
"Get on the chariot!"
Zhao Changqing saw that the soldiers in front would find it difficult to capture the city wall even if they rushed to the city, so he issued an order.
The chariot was surrounded by iron sheets and was a four-wheeled vehicle. On the side facing the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there were wooden cones that could be used to blast through the city gates.
As for the top of the chariot, there is also a foldable iron ladder.
As long as this chariot reaches the bottom of the city, it is basically equivalent to a fixed ladder. The enemy at the top of the city has no way to get down this ladder.
This greatly made it easier for the Wei army to scale the city wall.
However, this is not the first time that the Wei army has used this kind of chariot, so it is easy for the Tang army to deal with this kind of chariot.
That is to launch rockets soaked in fire oil.
Although the iron sheet is not afraid of fire, it is warm. As a result, the Wei army cannot use chariots and use the ladders on the chariots to climb the city wall.
Dozens of land gods did not choose to fight on the city wall, but attacked the city gate at all costs.
Trying to open the city gate.
However, this city gate of the Tang Dynasty was made of black iron. It was extremely heavy and could not be shaken at all.
The jacks in some mausoleums are made of this kind of black iron.
Its purpose is to guard against those who are highly skilled in martial arts.
The thick black iron city gate made many land immortal masters helpless. Even if they were used to hit the city hammer, there was nothing they could do for a while.
Among the many land gods, Xiang Yu is the most powerful, but even he can do nothing to push this door open.
Because the Tang army did a great job, they had already welded the city gate tightly.
Not to mention that it can't be opened from the outside, even if it is opened from the inside, it will take a lot of trouble.
Zhao Changqing had long been aware of this situation. He asked Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, do you have a way to break through that iron gate?"
Zhuge Liang was at a loss for a while.
The cost of building this iron gate will be very high.
This gate was also one of the pillars of the Tang army's defense of the city.
"That's all."
Zhao Changqing's pupils shrank, "Even if there is no other way, it doesn't matter. Send the order and let the three armies quickly board the city wall. Since the city gate cannot be breached, they will fight the enemy directly on the city top!"
Zhao Changqing gave the order, and the three armies took action upon hearing the sound.
Put all your focus on climbing the city wall.
It can be said that no matter what the cost, even if it is just a corpse on the city wall.
The same goes for those land gods.
They used various magical powers to climb the city wall before the soldiers and killed the enemy for them, thereby creating an opportunity for them to climb the city wall.
At this moment, a surprising scene happened.
Li Cunxiao, Xiang Yu, and Li Yuanba worked together to blast open the dark iron gate.
But they also fainted from exhaustion.
Three powerful land gods gathered together to blast open the black iron gate. You can imagine how difficult it was.
Xiao Yuming, Zhao Yun, and Yue Fei immediately pulled the three people who had fainted from the battlefield.
Seeing that the city gate was breached, Zhao Changqing was overjoyed and planned to make a big move and order all the soldiers of the three armies to rush into the city gate.
The three people who were still guarding the city wall felt in disbelief the moment they learned that the city gate had been blasted open.
However, the facts are right in front of them, and they can’t help but not believe it!
The city gate was broken down and everything was lost.
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads. The situation was like this and there was nothing they could do to save it.
"I will go to the palace immediately and inform His Majesty."
Fang Xin said.
The two of them nodded.
After Fang Xin left, Wang Yunhe led his men to fight to the death against the enemy troops that poured into the city gate.
But it's already too late.
More and more Wei troops poured into the city.
The momentum of a tiger descending from the mountain is already unstoppable.
At this time, Chen Qingzhi and Jian Yi also climbed onto the city wall, and they saw Zuo Buqun.
Immediately, he killed him.
"The Tang army has been defeated, the capital has been destroyed, Zuo Buqun, you have been defeated!"
Chen Qingzhi, who was dressed in armor, looked at him quietly.
Jian Yi remained silent, but kept clearing a battlefield for Chen Qingzhi.
Zuo Buqun shook his head and smiled bitterly.
It is extremely difficult for him to be able to defend the capital until now.
Failed, everything failed.
The army was defeated like a mountain and it was too late.
Zuo Buqun, desperate, raised the sharp sword in his hand high, his eyes flickering, and murmured: "Unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty, which had the most hope, ended up in a situation where the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed."
Chen Qingzhi said nothing and pointed a spear at Zuo Buqun.
He originally thought that the opponent raised his sword to fight him.
But unexpectedly, after seeing Chen Qingzhi's actions, Zuo Buqun actually laughed and then committed suicide.
Very decisive.
Even if Chen Qingzhi wanted to stop him, it was too late.
Regardless, he is a true general.
He accomplished his mission.
The way he died was also the most glorious.
Chen Qingzhi did not have the time to mourn him.
After he cut off Zuo Buqun's head, he loudly said to the Tang army who were fighting with the Wei army's soldiers: "Your general is dead! Why don't you surrender quickly? Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Even the soldiers of the Wei army were shouting "Those who surrender will not be killed"!
However, no one surrendered!
All the soldiers of the Tang Army made the decision in just one thought to fight the enemy to the death!
The country is about to perish, so who cares about eking out an ignoble existence?
Seeing Tang Jun's decision, for some reason, Chen Qingzhi felt a hint of admiration in his heart.
But soon, he suppressed this emotion in his heart.
Even if it were the Wei State today, the soldiers would still do this.
