Amidst the sound of horns, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Arrows were lost in the air and shot incessantly. As far as the eye could see, infantrymen wearing heavy armor bravely climbed to the city in the face of the rain of arrows.
Chu Shan stared at the bull's eye, holding a round shield in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other, and climbed quickly on the ladder with his legs.
Several spears stretched out from behind the parapet and stabbed him.
The round shield was held up to block it, and he pushed it upwards. The force of the force pushed several Jin soldiers above him staggering backward.
Chu Shan jumped upwards, and instantly jumped to the top of Taiyuan City. He slashed with his sword, and several spears broke with a sound.
His eyes widened and he roared at the top of his lungs.
"Those who climb the city are Fengxiang and Chushan!"
The surrounding soldiers were immediately frightened and recognized the man who had threatened to chop off King Jin's head the day before yesterday.
They used the formation to drive Chu Shan down with the strength of their numbers.
"Haha! Come and kill me!"
Chu Shan charged forward with a round shield, and kept cutting the Jin army's heads with the horizontal knife in his hand. He alone was able to kill the Jin army on this side until they were about to flee.
Jin troops from other places saw that the situation was not good and rushed to support.
But in the open space behind Chu Shan, Tang soldiers with red eyes were already pouring into the city.
The two waves collided together instantly.
…
At the gate opening under the city wall, a siege vehicle was pushed by the Tang army. Amidst the sound of chants, it continuously hit the thick iron-clad city gate.
Under the city's head, several ladder trucks had reached the city wall, and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty wearing black armor began to launch a continuous general attack on the city.
————
In Taiyuan City and outside the palace, countless civil servants and generals were running around like headless flies at this moment.
The palace door was not opened at all.
An old minister was about to cry but had no tears. He stamped his feet and said anxiously: "The Tang army is so powerful today, why doesn't King Jin go to the top of the city to supervise the battle?"
It's such a mess here that no one can pay attention, they just keep shouting and opening their mouths.
Not long after, someone shouted loudly: "Could it be that King Jin abandoned us and ran away alone, leaving us here to die!"
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
The person who opened his mouth was obviously frightened by him, and he lowered his head in a hurry.
Everyone looked up and saw that the guards above the palace city were still indifferent and unresponsive.
The crowd became chaotic again, but this time, someone's eyes began to roll in the corner, and they quietly broke away from the crowd, hiding somewhere unknown.
At this time, an earth-shattering cheer suddenly sounded from the south where everyone was just listening.
Everyone turned around and looked in shock, their faces pale.
There are only two situations for this cheer.
The Tang army retreated, and the surviving Jin army cheered.
Or maybe the Tang army broke the city...
Everyone immediately rushed towards the palace gate again.
"Prince Jin! Please see Prince Jin!"
…
In the main hall, books and miscellaneous items were scattered all over the floor, but no one picked them up.
Everyone was in a hurry, collecting all kinds of belongings.
The priceless Han Dynasty painted porcelain is now ignored and abandoned in a corner.
What was emphatically searched were gold, silver, and bronze items that could be circulated.
The palace people are also in a mess now, but no one is going to restrain them. Whether they are escaping with the palace belongings or have ulterior motives, no one will care about them now.
Li Keyong was sitting in a wheelchair, looking blankly at the figures running around in each palace.
Most of them are Shatuo people wearing armor.
"Father, it's time for us to go."
Li Cunren wore a mask, took out a long sword from the palace, and held on to the handle of the wheelchair.
Li Ke smiled lonely and asked in a questioning voice: "Let's go? Where to go? The world is so big, but there is still room for me?"
Li Cunren was stunned, and then said anxiously: "Go to Youzhou, go to the grassland! I have already arranged an escape route for my adoptive father!"
Li Keyong laughed, controlled the wheelchair forward, and murmured to himself: "Youzhou? Grassland? That is now the territory of the Mobei people."
Li Cunren hurriedly followed and dissuaded: "It is the place where the Mobei people have a place for us! Foster father, we can't delay! Let's leave quickly!"
The one-eyed dragon seemed to turn a deaf ear. He parked his wheelchair in front of a bright red pillar and slowly touched it with his hand.
Finally, he sighed quietly under Li Cunren's anxious eyes: "Of the thirteen sons of my king, you are the only one who is by my side now. I have gone to other people's places, but who else can be by my side?"
He pointed with his finger at the palace servants who were hurriedly running between the palace rooms, searching for their belongings, and sneered:
"Could it be them?"
Li Cunren was choked, but he still advised: "How can I know that my foster father, a great hero, will not be able to make a comeback in the future? There are still Shatuo tribes in the grassland, and there are tens of thousands of troops in Hebei, so we may not lose!"
Li Keyong was silent for a long time, and finally said sadly: "I am sixty-one years old this year."
"Then Li Jing is only twenty-four years old..."
Li Cunren remained silent.
Li Keyong leaned his head tiredly on the wheelchair.
"The grasslands are now unified. Although Queen Yingtian failed to go south, the actual losses were not great. She also plundered a lot of property from the Central Plains... Even if she retreats to the grasslands, the tribes may not turn against her."
He closed his one eye gently and commented: "She is a powerful person."
Li Cunren was puzzled: "In this case, we should go to Youzhou and the grassland! If we unite with Mobei, we can still fight!"
Opening his eyes, Li Keyong shook his head.
"She is certainly powerful, but how can Li Jing's son... not be powerful? Now that the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, how can he allow others to snore beside him? After annexing Hebei, he will definitely continue to send troops to the grassland.
By then, if Queen Yingtian is defeated or does not dare to fight with the Tang army, she will inevitably hand over the king to calm Li Jing's anger... Humph! She can do it! "
Li Cunren was stunned.
"Alas..." Li Keyong sighed and patted the armrest of his wheelchair: "The world is so big that there is really no place for me to go."
Li Cunren's voice trembled: "What should I do, foster father..."
Li Keyong turned his wheelchair around, looked at the only adopted daughter who was loyal to him, and waved his hand: "Take my king's seal and go to Queen Yingtian. I have already written a book with her, telling her about your abilities... you I have been loyal to someone since I was a child, but to this day, it is me who has harmed you."
Li Cunren was stunned: "What about you, foster father?"
Li Keyong raised his head proudly, with a kingly arrogance in his expression.
"I, of course, want to see what kind of person that little Li Jing is!"
As soon as his voice fell, Li Cunren closed his eyes sadly.
But immediately, she gripped the sword tightly and knelt down on one knee before Li Keyong: "The Shang Organization will definitely protect King Jin until the last moment!"
Li Keyong remained silent and said no more, just looking up to the south.
The sound of fighting entered Taiyuan City at some unknown time.
Similarly, it also slowly approached Taiyuan Palace City.
