Not long after the Turkic King stood up and roared, the chief of the palace guard stumbled into the palace hall, knelt down and said: "King, something serious has happened. Tang Jun... Tang Jun is coming!"
"What? What did you say? Tang Army? Where did the Tang Army come from? Are you kidding me?" the Turkic King roared at the captain of the guard.
The other princes and nobles also sneered at the words of the captain of the guard. How could the Tang army appear here at this time? The Tang army was afraid that it would have already returned to Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, the Tang Army is really coming. Now the east gate and the west gate have been breached. The Tang Army has marched straight into the royal city and is attacking the city. Our troops are resisting with all their strength, but the Tang Army has too many people, and the attackers are Suddenly, I am afraid that no one will be able to hold on for too long, so the king has to make a decision early!" The captain of the guard hurriedly explained.
"Are you telling the truth? Is the Tang Army really coming?" The Turkic King's eyes widened, and he still didn't believe this. However, the captain of the guard in front of him had been with him for many years and would never make a joke about this matter. This made the Turks Wang felt a little panicked.
"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true. Please make a decision early! Otherwise, it will be too late!" the captain of the guard said pleadingly.
At this time, the princes and nobles in the main hall were also panicked. They stood up hurriedly and wanted to run out of the main hall.
"Why are you panicking? The Tang army has just invaded the city. We still have a hundred thousand troops in the city. You go and gather your troops immediately. I don't believe that the Tang army can overturn the world!" the Turkic King said sternly.
When the princes heard what the Turkic king said, they thought about it. Why should they panic? There are still 100,000 people in the city. Even if the Tang army attacks, they will not be afraid.
At that moment, I felt a lot more at peace in my heart. I bowed to the Turk King and left the hall one after another. Following the Turk King's instructions, they commanded their respective troops to fight.
After these princes and nobles left, the Turkic King naturally would not stay here longer. He called the captain of the guard and asked him to lead the palace guards to clear the way for him. He wanted to leave the royal city. Although he would not be able to reach the palace for a while, he could He didn't want to put himself in danger.
Letting the princes and nobles lead their own troops to meet the enemy was just a tactic for him to delay the attack. It would be great if he could stop the Tang army. Then he would come back. If he couldn't stop him, he wouldn't suffer any losses. At worst, he would go all the way north. He just wanted to escape. He didn't believe that the Tang army dared to pursue them all the time. You must know that the temperature got colder as you went north, and there were many large tribes in the north. He could also regroup and fight with the Tang army again!
At the east gate of the Turkic King's City, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, Luo Zhang and Cheng Yaojin quietly approached the vicinity of the King's City with their army. At this time, the guards of the King's City did not pay much attention. At this time, most of them hid in the greenhouse and roared. Went to sleep.
The winter nights are frighteningly cold. Who would patrol on such a night?
But it was such a cold and scary winter night that the Tang army came here under false pretenses. When they were a few miles away from the royal city, a three-person team came to the city gate with three five iron knots tied to wooden sticks.
They originally thought they would be discovered by the Turks, but they were not. This made Luo Zhang and others relax and wait quietly.
After seeing three sparks lighting up the city gate, Luo Zhang and Cheng Yaojin knew they had succeeded. Under their previous teachings, when they saw the sparks, all the Tang soldiers covered their ears and did not cover their ears. I can’t live here.
The next moment, a shocking loud noise was heard, and the air waves caused by the explosion even reached them, causing waves of flying sand and rocks.
After the explosion, a loud noise also came from the west. Luo Zhang and the others knew that Ximen must have succeeded.
The power of the explosion was so amazing. According to their original idea, just blowing up the city gate would allow them to successfully enter the city. However, they did not expect that the amount used was a bit excessive and the city tower collapsed. Fortunately, it collapsed. The city tower did not completely block the road, but there was still a road left for the war horses to pass, otherwise it would have been delayed a lot of time.
When Cheng Yaojin raised his giant ax and shouted, all the soldiers roared to the sky, and they rushed towards the royal city one by one.
The Turkic soldiers, who were shocked by the loud noise, had not realized what was going on. Cheng Yaojin had already led the Tang army into the royal city.
Luo Zhang did not rush to the front, but followed the large troops into the city in the middle and behind, shooting the first bird. Although he was not weak in ability, there were many masters in the royal city, and he did not want to go too far. Get ahead.
With so many soldiers charging into the battle, he didn't need to fight so hard, as long as he could safely capture the royal city.
The Tang army rushed into the royal city like a torrent, killing everyone on sight. It can be said that the Tang army hated the Turks to the core.
Many women and children were killed by the Tang army. Luo Zhang wanted to stop it, but in the end he ignored it. The hatred between the Tang people and the Turks was deep in their bones. It was useless to talk to them about reasoning at this time. People would refute it. You, the Turks will not show mercy to women and children, they will kill them without fail.
The Turks could kill the women and children of the Tang Dynasty, why couldn't they kill them themselves?
This is a feud that can no longer be resolved with words. The only way for them to eliminate the hatred and anger in their hearts is to let them vent and kill to their heart's content.
There was naturally resistance. Although the Turks were caught off guard at first, they were a horse race, and they were often attacked by enemies and developed the habit of fighting quickly.
Soon, groups of Turkic cavalry counterattacked crazily towards the teams of Cheng Yaojin and Luo Zhang.
However, the Turks forgot one thing, that is, although they counterattacked very quickly, they forgot that this was a royal city. The city could not be compared with the vast grasslands outside. War horses could not run at all in the city, and they were restricted everywhere.
How can we call cavalry if our horses can't pick up speed?
Most of the Tang troops were infantry, and they had an absolute advantage in urban street fighting. Often when the Turkic cavalry arrived, they would be knocked off their horses by three or four Tang troops with their halberds and spears, and then swarmed up, and the Turkic cavalry He was chopped to death with random knives.
Such things are not just one or two, they are happening everywhere in the Turkic King's City.
Not only the east gate, but also the west gate, the team led by Yuchi Jingde and Niu Jinda also encountered such a thing, but under their hard work, they still killed the Turks.
Looking at the army that was gradually gaining the upper hand, Luo Zhang felt a little relieved. At the moment, he did not continue to fight with Cheng Yaojin in the city, but led a group of troops towards the palace.
