Volume 3 Taihang Mountain Chapter 835 The Final Battle

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The water reflects the starry night sky.  It was peaceful on the Tongji Canal.

    The small stern boat of Zhao Jun's inland water division was cutting white waves on the water surface, making a clear sound of oars hitting the water.

    Gradually, the noise in the distance came, and countless giant lights hanging on the bow illuminated the river from a distance through the night.

    The main fleet of the Zhao army, which came from Youjing upstream, is slowly moving downstream.  On these troop carriers, young faces looked at Liyang City, an important town on the bank of the canal that connects the north and south.  The faces of many new soldiers were full of excitement. It was their first time to participate in such a battle, and the young soldiers were very excited.  Their equipment is neatly equipped, and they are all the latest new armors made by the Da Zhao Craftsman's Workshop.

    Because Zhao made a breakthrough in iron-making, the armor forged in the blast furnace was stronger under the same weight.  The craftsmen of the State of Zhao have tested it and found that a three-stone crossbow cannot penetrate even fifty steps away.  In the battle against the Turks, the Zhao army has always had a great advantage due to its strong armor and soldiers, but now it faces Li Tang, whose military industry is not inferior to that of Zhao.  The craftsmen in Zhao Guo's workshop also put forward higher requirements and produced more advanced armor.

    Seeing this military town now, everyone seemed to hear the rumble of war drums in their ears.

    Following the troop transports were grain ships. These grain ships had deep drafts and were filled with new grain shipped from Youjing.  The warship landed at the Tongji Canal pier, and weapons and soldiers stepped off the ship in a steady stream.

    Having just disembarked, the soldiers were laughing beside the dock and looking at the majestic town of Liyang City.  At this time, a general came from the dock and shouted: "No noise!"

    A captain got off the boat and said, "Brother, don't make a fuss. The Tang army is still thousands of miles away."

    The general said with a serious face: "Bastard, who told you that the Tang Army was thousands of miles away. The war has already broken out. Our army launched an attack on the Tang Army in Changping County three days ago. The two armies are fighting fiercely! And in Hexi,  Wang Junkuo, the Great Protector, led the northern army to invade Hexi, and the war has begun in full force!"

    All the soldiers were stunned when they heard this, looking in disbelief that the war had just broken out.

    The general said solemnly: "This battle right now is a life-and-death battle between Zhao and Li Tang. If you take it lightly, the country will be in danger. From now on, there is a battlefield ahead!"

    When all the soldiers heard what the general said, they all calmed down and replied: "No!"

    Chang'an.

    News about Zhao Jun¡¯s march to Hexi.  It has already been heard that the fast horses at the border gate will rush to the Ministry of War Yamen in the west of the city every half an hour.  Various battle reports also came in like snow.

    Da Zhao finally started the war!

    It is half a year earlier than the originally planned two-year period. Although there is no movement in the east, the momentum in Hexi in the west is really not small.

    The urgent documents from Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Chai Shao and others have been sent to Chang'an.  Everyone from the officials to the common people knew that this time Zhao's army was extremely powerful.  How long can Chang'an City remain under Li Tang's rule?

    The Wuji Palace.  Li Shimin strode towards the harem.

    When the maids saw Li Shimin, they paid homage one after another.  Li Shimin obviously had no thoughts and went straight into the queen's palace.

    In the past two years, Changsun Wugou has gone from Princess Qin to Crown Princess, and now she is the Queen of the entire Tang Empire.  Completed triple jump.  Now Queen Changsun saw Li Shimin's hurried expression and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, have you heard that the Zhao army has invaded in large numbers?"

    Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's almost the same. The 200,000 cavalrymen in Wangjunkuo, Hexi, have arrived in Hetao. Here, the soldiers are here, but they haven't moved in yet. But I think it's fast. In addition, although there is no movement in the east, there is no movement.  I heard a lot of rumors, and now Zhao¡¯s troops are pressing towards Guanzhong.¡±

    Queen Changsun lowered her head after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, can you win this battle?"

    Li Shimin laughed after hearing this and said: "Win? Even if I know I am going to lose, I still want to fight this battle. The Tang Dynasty was founded by my father and son, how can I give it up to Li Chongjiu now?"

    After hearing Li Shimin's words, Empress Changsun felt her heart skip a beat.

    Seeing Queen Changsun's face, Li Shimin immediately said: "Don't worry too much. It's not that I can't win, but the Zhao army is indeed powerful. I can't hide it from you. Chang'an is now a dangerous place. I want you and Cheng Qian to go to Shuzhong."  Take shelter for now. After this battle is over, come back to Chang'an."

    After hearing this, Empress Changsun grabbed Li Shimin's hand and said, "Your Majesty, can't you even defend Chang'an?"

    Li Shimin moved his lips and said, "No, we can't hold it, but Chang'an is already a dangerous place. Only with both your mother and son gone can I rest assured and use my fists."

    Queen Changsun shed tears after hearing this and said: "Concubine I can't bear to leave you, Your Majesty, please let me stay!  "

    After hearing this, Li Shimin let out a long sigh, took Empress Changsun's hand and said, "Why don't I want you to accompany me? We have been husband and wife for many years, and we have been inseparable in life and death. It's just that only if you leave can I have no worries and Cheng Qian."  If I lose this battle, you can make him the emperor and separate the Sichuan and Shu kingdoms. Sichuan and Shu can be peaceful for a while, but they can be peaceful for a few years. In addition, Li Jing is reliable, and I will choose him to entrust him.  Be loyal to you, mother and son!"

    "Your Majesty, if you lose, why would you call yourself emperor"

    Queen Changsun burst into tears immediately.  Li Shimin said warmly: "I am just preparing for the worst. Don't worry, even if Li Chongjiu wins Chang'an, I will make him pay a huge price and let him know the consequences."

    Just when Li Shimin was talking to Queen Changsun, he heard Fang Xuanling's voice outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Zhao army in Hexi has moved!"

    Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and the light in his eyes trembled.

    Gyeongju Castle.

    On the city wall, the Zhao army is attacking the city!

    Countless soldiers were piled up in layers outside the city, and they were rushing towards the city.

    The large banner with characters on the top of the city looks particularly lonely.  The arrows on the city wall have completely weakened.

    "when!"

    There was a loud noise and the city gate rope was cut off!

    The suspension bridge fell with a loud bang.

    The sound of fighting on the city wall became smaller and smaller, but after this moment of silence.

    "Long live!"

    "Long live!"

    The sound was like thunder, and the soldiers of Zhao army cheered on the tower and raised their weapons high.

    And at the moment when the city was broken, Duan Decao, the governor of Qingzhou, glanced at the long sword in his hand, and then wiped it from his throat with a wry smile!

    June 3rd, the sixth year of the Reform.

    Wang Junkuo led an army of 200,000 to attack Qingzhou. Duan Decao, the defender of Qingzhou City, resisted for less than half a day and the entire city was captured.

    Duan Decao committed suicide!

    Finally, the final decisive battle between Tang and Zhao officially kicked off with the fall of Qingzhou City!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
