Almost everyone has heard the saying "The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people. X23US. COM is updated the fastest"

Now is a battle between the right time, place and people. The Tang army occupied the tall and strong Chang'an City, which can be said to have all the advantages.

However, Tianshi helped Tubo. As for Renhe, Tubo had nearly 130,000 troops, while the Tang army in Chang'an City had less than 50,000. This could barely be considered harmonious. The Tang army lost again in this regard.

With the three major combat factors of the right time, place, people and people, the Tang army has lost two of them, so they will naturally fall into hard battles and lose the sharp weapon of the bed. The Tang army is like a tiger falling into a flat sun, and it will be difficult to show its power, and it will be at a disadvantage for a while.

Chang'an City is too big, and the line of troops is too long, and it is really difficult to defend the 50,000 troops. After one day, the Tang army lost more than 10,000 soldiers. Li Jing knew that this was not a solution. He ordered that the people and materials be moved into the imperial city overnight. When the war is again tomorrow, if the situation is wrong, he will immediately withdraw into the imperial city.

The God of War is the God of War. He dares to make choices and will not stick to the gains and losses of a city and a pool. In his eyes, there is only the victory of war and full of overall situations.

The next morning, Tubo attacked the city again. Although the temperature rose, the effect was not very obvious. Moreover, the hands of the Tang soldiers had already been frostbite and all the crossbows were destroyed. Even if the weather returned to summer, it seemed useless.

At night, Li Jing ordered water to sprinkle the city walls, making the city walls freeze and preventing the Tubo army from entering the city. Although it played a significant role, it seemed that it could not reverse the situation of the war. In the afternoon, after listening to the report on the loss of war, Li Jing frowned and pondered for a long time, and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat and defend the imperial city to the death.

The Tang army retreated, and the Tubo army rushed forward and occupied the outer city of Chang'an, and they were all excited. After Lu Dongzan entered Chang'an, he immediately ordered all the city gates to be closed to prevent the arrival of Tang reinforcements. Li Hao's army was more than 70 miles away from Chang'an at this moment, and the road was slippery in the snow and the speed of the cavalry could not be increased. It would take at least one or two days to reach Chang'an.

After Lu Dongzan occupied the outer city of Chang'an, he decided to take advantage of the strong morale of the army and take down the imperial city in one fell swoop. He ordered the city to attack overnight. From night to noon the next day, both sides suffered heavy losses, with only more than 20,000 people left in the Tang army, and the Tubo army also lost more than 30,000.

Li Jing was experiencing the worst battle in his life. The five thousand troops on the Xuanwu Gate must not be moved. That is the back door of the Tai Chi Palace. It must stay there to resist the 10,000 troops of Lun Zhu Renzeng. If the Xuanwu Gate is lost, everything will be over.

Considering that there were only 20,000 people and it seemed too helpless to defend the imperial city, Li Jing gritted his teeth and ordered his retreat to Tai Chi Palace.

That night, the Tang army retreated directly to the Tai Chi Palace. The huge Tai Chi Palace gathered more than 200,000 people. Li Shimin's health has recently recovered a lot. Almost every other hour, he would receive a war report sent by someone from Li Jing.

That night, Li Shimin stood in front of Tai Chi Hall wearing a fluffy coat, looking at the extremely majestic Tai Chi Square full of refuge tents. He could even feel the panic of the people and felt sad in his heart. Li Zhi quietly came to his side and called out softly: "Father, you have just recovered from a serious illness. Don't come out at night, it will be frozen."

Li Shimin did not answer. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly said: "I don't regret the fact that Li Hao was named the Grand Marshal of the Army... I feel that I don't regret it now."

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and then felt relieved. In fact, Li Shimin was unwilling to designate Li Hao as the Grand Marshal of Ten Military Horses. The reason why he nodded and allowed the imperial edict was completely forced by the situation. However, at this moment, Li Shimin finally figured out that the people had fallen to the Tai Chi Palace to take refuge. What way out would he have to retreat? Even if Li Hao rebelled and usurped the throne, at least he would treat the people well.

Li Shimin suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Zhi and asked, "Zhi'er, do you think Li Hao... will he take the opportunity to steal the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "No."

"You trust him so much?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi in confusion.

Li Zhi nodded vigorously: "He is the teacher of the son minister and his best friend. If the son minister knows him, he will be like he knows his son minister. Li Hao is not that kind of person."

"Oh... I hope so..." Li Shimin sighed and said slowly, "Zhier, my father is old. If Li Hao's ability to turn the tide this time and he does not take the opportunity to rebel, it means that Li Hao is indeed loyal and loyal. You can point him as a humerus, and you don't use anyone, and you don't doubt him. Do you understand what the father means, right?"

Li Zhi bowed solemnly: "Yes, my son understands, father."

Gerdonzan occupied the imperial city again, but he was so happy that as long as he captured Tai Chi Palace, he could cut off Li Shimin's head. From then on, Gerdonzan was famous all over the world, and they Tubo could also enter the Central Plains, and since then they replaced the Tang Dynasty, whipped the world and intimidated all nations. This was not enough. At that time, he would find an opportunity to undermine Songtsen Gampo and seize the throne. Then Gerdonzan is the Khan of the Heavenly Khan, who holds the power of life and death of hundreds of millions of creatures. He is confident and with his supreme wisdom, he is invincible in the world. Lu Dongzan is not a noble person, and he also has a very powerful desire for power, but he is good at tolerance.

This time, Gerdonzan did not choose to continue to advance because the siege of the city for a day and one night had exhausted the Tubo army. He ordered the army to rest for a night and take down the Tai Chi Palace tomorrow.

The next morning, Gerdonzan ordered a large-scale attack on Tai Chi Palace. Since this was the last line of defense, the Tang army had already become determined to die. Tens of thousands of young and strong people rushed to the city to help throw stones and roll wood to resist the enemy.

However, the city wall of Taiji Palace is not as tall as the Chang'an city wall. The Tang army's territory is no longer obvious. There are only 10,000 troops left in the city guards, including Jinwu Guards and left and right Guards. Li Yuanzhong and Peng Hai fought hard on both sides of the east and west, fighting bloody battles. The war at Chengtian Gate became more intense. Li Jing personally took charge. There were corpses everywhere on the city walls. Many young and strong people came to defend the city spontaneously. They also knew that at this time, they could not retreat because behind them, they stood all theirs and the hope of the nation.

The Tubo general responsible for leading the army to attack the city this time was the Tubo general, Godalman. Since Godalman was defeated by Li Hao, he has not been valued in Tubo. It can be said that he has been full of resentment. He wants to use this battle to make himself famous and make up for his lost reputation. He personally took the stage to beat the drums outside Chengtian Gate to boost morale. This move really worked. The Tubo army was like crazy and set up a ladder to rush up the city wall. The rushing city trees had already begun to hit Chengtian Gate.

Li Jing ordered the Chengtian Gate to be blocked, and then asked his personal guards to help him stand up and look at Godalman who was beating drums in the distance below the city.

After a long silence, Li Jing suddenly shouted: "Get my bow!"

When the guards heard this, they were stunned. No one moved. Li Jing glared and shouted: "You dare to disobey the military order?"

The guards were helpless, and someone immediately stepped back and went to get the bow. Soon, a guard took a big bow. Li Jing stretched out his hunched hand and took it over, gently stroked the bow arm, as if he was stroking his beloved child, and said leisurely: "Zhentian Bow, Zhentian Bow, you will accompany me to fight for the rest of your life. Now I am old, but you are still like that before. Today will be my last battle. I want to use you to prove that I, Li Jing, will be... not weaker than others!"

After saying that, he spread his hands flat and said slowly: "Arrow!"

"General!" Li Lan, the guard whom Li Jing trusted the most, said anxiously, "General, your body now... cannot be able to shoot the bow!"

"Arrow!" Li Jing seemed to have not heard it, his voice was cold and arrogant.

"General!" Li Lan knelt down with tears in his face, "General, you can't shoot the bow! You can't shoot the bow!"

"Arrow!" Li Jing's voice became louder, and his dim eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

"General...no...no..." Li Lan burst into tears and crawled on the ground to beg. In his opinion, if Li Jing's current body was forcibly fired, it would be like committing suicide.

Li Jing suddenly turned his head and stared at the guard holding a quiver beside him. The guard was glared by his eyes, and his whole body was as if he fell into an ice cave, and he shivered.

Li Jing stretched out his hand and pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver he was holding. This feather arrow was obviously four inches longer than an ordinary feather arrow. It was his special arrow with the Sky Bow. Back then, his Sky Bow was known as the most powerful bow in the Tang Dynasty, with Zhang Lishen, so the arrow was also customized.

Li Jing pushed away the guard who was supporting him for many years. He had been paralyzed for many years and could not stand down. This was not the case. He took two steps forward, and before he arrived at the battlement, he bent his bow and arrow, and he completed it in one go. The three-stone strong bow was pulled like a full moon by him. The cold wind rose up his white hair, adding a little mess. A cold light like thunder burst out in his eyes. However, all the guards knelt down when they saw this scene, and they all burst into tears. They knew that Li Jing was looking back. With an arrow, the enemy would die, and he would die...

With a light "buzz", Li Jing let his hand go, and the arrow flashed like a meteor, flashing through the beacon fires all over the sky, and through countless rains of arrows, this arrow carries Li Jing's lifelong memories, so dazzling, because he is the supreme arrow shot by the Tang Dynasty military god with his life. It is a supreme honor to be able to die under this arrow.

Godardman, who was beating the drum, suddenly flew out and hit the snare drum. Then... the bright red blood flowed down the drum's face. Godardman's body seemed to be swinging, and was swaying. Li Jing's magic arrow shot through Godardman's head and nailed it to the huge snare drum. When the Tubo army saw this scene, they were shocked and forgot to attack the city.

After Li Jing shot an arrow, he took several steps and fell into a wheelchair. His face turned red like blood. Then he opened his mouth and vomited a burst of blood.

"General!" All the guards knelt forward, crying and screaming.

Li Jing slowly closed his eyes, and all the experiences during his lifetime flashed rapidly through his mind, and finally frozen in a picture. He was a big man with a beard and a beautiful woman in red. This was his obsession in this life.

"Transfer to me... military order..." Li Jing no longer had the strength to open his eyes. He raised a flag with all his strength and said intermittently, "Qin Qiong will take over me... to defend the position of city chief!" After saying the last word, his head suddenly drooped, and the Zhentian bow also dropped out and fell to the ground. The Tang Dynasty military god... fell.
