On the way of heaven, more than 900 Xuanjia troops were strode forward and fighting for a day. They were already exhausted, but human potential was infinite. At this moment, they only had one thought in their minds, opening the Suzaku Gate, so their pace did not stop for a moment.

Faced with the advance of the Xuanjia Army, a thousand Tubo troops kept retreating. They had been killed and they dared not fight again. Even though the Tubo people were born fierce, they were still human. In their opinion, the group of magical troops holding swords and shields in front of them had surpassed the scope of humans.

"Great Prime Minister! What should I do? There are nearly a thousand people in that group of monsters. The enemy troops outside the city are siegeing more and more fiercely. We have suffered heavy losses and can only draw up to three thousand people!" A Tubo general asked anxiously beside Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "How much tincture oil is left?"

"Not much, there are more than three thousand kilograms!"

Lu Dongzan said coldly: "Splash all these more than 3,000 kilograms of tincture oil in the corridor of Zhuque Gate, and don't light the fire for now."

"Great Prime!" The Tubo general screamed when he heard this, "Great Prime! In this way, there will be no tincture oil in the city..."

However, Lu Dongzan glared at him fiercely and snorted coldly: "Do you still use to direct the war? Go and execute!"

"Yes!" The Tubo general had no choice but to take his men to transport the tincture oil, and then spilled all the tincture oil into the corridor of Zhuque Gate.

On the way to heaven, Xue Rengui and Chen Bin led the remaining nine hundred Xuanjia Army and moved forward all the way. The Tubo army kept retreating. Although other Tubo army came to aid, there are now two thousand Tubo army, these Tubo army no longer dared to stop them and just kept retreating.

Finally, the Zhuque Gate was looking at it, and less than a mile was left. Xue Rengui suddenly glared and shouted: "Come on!"

The Xuanjia Army quickly changed its charge formation and rushed forward. The two thousand Tubo army seemed to see the giant beasts opening their mouths. They were so scared that they suddenly fled in all directions. Xue Rengui and the others rushed to the Zhuque Gate without any stop.

Although the Zhuque Gate is not as tall and magnificent as the Mingde Gate, as the lord of Chang'an Imperial City, it is as majestic as the five gates, that is, five city gates, which correspond to the saying "the emperor's five gates".

However, at this moment, the five city gate holes were wet, and the smell of tincture oil was everywhere. Xue Rengui immediately understood after seeing it. He stopped in front of Zhuque Gate, gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Dongzan on the Zhuque Gate Tower. Lu Dongzan was also standing by the city wall, holding the battlements with his hands, and looking at him with a sneer. Xue Rengui had to admit that Lu Dongzan was indeed powerful. He could stop them with just a simple move, so that they dare not approach the city gate. As long as they entered the city gate hole, the Tubo army would definitely use fire arrows to ignite the tincture oil, and the city gate hole turned into an oven, burning them to death in the city gate hole.

"General Xue, what should I do?" Chen Bin frowned when he saw the tinder in the city gate hole, and asked Xue Rengui.

At this moment, the cheers of the Tubo army suddenly came from the direction of Tai Chi Palace. Lu Dongzan on the top of the city screamed in surprise when he saw this, but he was speaking in Tubo.

Fortunately, a soldier in the Xuanjia Army could understand some Tubo language, so he hurriedly came to Xue Rengui and said, "General Xue, no, the enemy commander said just now that Chengtian Gate was captured!"

"What!" Xue Rengui was shocked when he heard this. Chengtian Gate was the main gate of Tai Chi Palace. If Chengtian Gate was captured, it would take less than half an hour before the Tubo army would reach Tai Chi Palace, and the emperor would be in danger.

Xue Rengui gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "There is no time! Open the door!" After that, he was the first to rush forward.

The nine hundred Xuanjia troops in the rear followed one after another and rushed into the city gate hole in the middle without hesitation.

They had just rushed in half and shot hundreds of fire arrows from the top of the city. The Xuanjia Army raised their shields to block most of the fire arrows, but the fire arrows still fell from the gap of the iron shield. Then, a heart-shaking scene appeared. More than 200 Xuanjia Army soldiers were neatly arranged in three rows. Each row of Xuanjia Army connected the iron shields tightly and placed them on the ground to form three rows of solid shield walls. While the fire arrows ignited the tinder oil, they had already raised three shield walls in the city gate hole in a very fast manner. However, when the fire burned and encountered the iron shield wall, it stopped obviously, and then the fire slowly penetrated through the iron shield wall. The first row of Xuanjia Army soldiers was quickly engulfed by the flames, but they stood there like stone statues, motionless, and no one even shouted, allowing the fire to burn their bodies.

"The long spear will always defend the soul of the Tang Dynasty!" A Xuanjia Army, who was covered in fire, suddenly roared. He had not read many books, but had read Li Hao's military regulated verse. He liked this sentence the most, so he decided to roar at the last moment of his life.

The other Xuan armor also roared in unison: "The spear will always protect the soul of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The spear will always protect the soul of the Tang Dynasty!" The high-pitched roar continued to echo at the Zhuque Gate, shocking the soul.

Li Hao, who was commanding the battle outside the city gate, heard the roar after another. After a moment of stunned silence, his face suddenly changed and he shouted wildly: "I will pass on the commander's military order and attack the city with all my strength! Leave no remaining strength!"

The sermon drum was beating loudly, and the Tang army roared again, attacking the city with all their might. Li Hao looked at the Zhuque Gate with a worried look on his face. From the roar of the Xuanjia Army, he could hear that this was a roar with a heart of death after falling into a desperate situation, roaring out the pride of the soldiers and the Tang people's military spirit, just like he was in Tingzhou.

The fire engulfed the first row of Xuanjia Army and began to penetrate into the second row. Then, the roars of the Xuanjia Army soldiers became weaker and weaker, but they never moved from beginning to end. Although the iron shield wall of the three rows of Xuanjia Army could not stop the fire, it effectively slowed down the spread of the flames. They bought time for their comrades. It was better to say that it was three rows of human walls than three rows of shield walls. Many Tubo soldiers were frightened and screamed in shock when they saw this scene in the city gate, as if they had seen a ghost. The national spirit and pride of the Chinese people would never be able to understand.

Xue Rengui turned around and saw the Xuanjia Army in the blazing fire. Two lines of tears rolled down, but he knew that it was not the time to cry. Because the Chongchengmu outside the city was hitting the city gate, they could not push the door bolt. Xue Rengui quickly pulled out his Tang sword and cut it down at the middle part of the door bolt with all his strength.

With a dull "bang", Xue Rengui's Tang sword broke in response to the sound, and half of the blade was trapped in the door bolt, only three inches of wood. This could not have much impact on the thick door bolt, and the Zhuque Gate was indeed solid.

"Mo Dao!" Xue Rengui roared, and Chen Bin handed him his Mo Dao.

Xue Rengui took the Mo Dao, first pulled out the broken knife stuck on the door bolt, and then slashed again, "Bang!" Xue Rengui was indeed very skilled in martial arts. Not only was the force of swinging the knife strong, but it was also extremely accurate. This knife slashed into the crack of the previous knife, expanding the original three-inch gap to five inches, and Mo Dao was also cut off by his huge force.

However, the three rows of Xuanjia soldiers who were fighting against the fire had all caught fire at this moment, and seventy Xuanjia soldiers rushed out, connecting them into a row, with iron shields close to form a new wall to block the fire and buy time for Xue Rengui.

When Xue Rengui saw another seventy Xuanjia Army going to die, he felt as if he had been stabbed. He felt like he was about to be crazy. He roared wildly, snatched Mo Dao from a Xuanjia Army, and used all his strength to slash the door bolt, which was still in the same position.

With a "click", the Chongchengmu outside the door hit the city gate at the same time. The latch broke as the sound, and the city gate was swept open and almost hit Xue Rengui. Fortunately, Xue Rengui flashed quickly.

"The city gate is open!" Tang army outside the city shouted excitedly.

Li Hao happened to be in commanding in front of the formation, and his eyes were staring at Zhuque Gate. He saw Xue Rengui and the others rushing out of the city gate. There was a blazing fire in the city gate cave behind him. In the fire, he faintly saw four rows of figures standing neatly in the fire, motionless, and some people were even yelling, "The spear is forever defending the Tang Dynasty's soul."

Under the protection of the iron shield of the Xuanjia Army, Xue Rengui braved the rain of arrows to Li Hao. Li Hao pointed to the fire in the city gate and the figures in the fire and asked, "What's going on?"

Xue Rengui looked back and his eyes turned red and said, "Lu Dongzan sprinkled tinder in the city gate hole. Brothers tied the walls with shields to block the fire and bought us time to open the city gate."

Li Hao felt his nose sore, and tears soaked his eyes. He raised his head and tried hard to force the tears back. After a moment, his eyes turned red and said, "Although it is a military order, you don't have to be so anxious."

"No need to worry." Xue Rengui said solemnly, "Chengtian Gate has been broken."

"What!" Li Hao glared at him and exclaimed, then shouted loudly, "Everyone brings the soil and puts out the fire! Enter the city!"

Upon hearing this, the army quickly dug the soil, wrapped it in cloth, rushed towards the Suzaku Gate, and the crossbow behind it fired wildly to cover them.

Although the fire in the city gate tunnel was very large, tens of thousands of troops brought mud and extinguished the fire in the city gate tunnel in a moment. Then only four rows of soldiers holding Modao Iron Shield blocked the entrance of the city gate tunnel, blocking their way. However, these soldiers had been burned into coke. No one could distinguish their identities except Modao Iron Shield. They were like monuments, protecting the peace of the country with their lives and blood.

Li Hao stood in the city gate with his many Xuanjia troops, looking at the four rows of Xuanjia troops that had turned into black mummies, and could no longer help but feel sad and excited. Tears rolled down his cheeks. After a moment, Li Hao suddenly put his feet together and gave an extremely standard military salute to the group of Xuanjia troops that had turned into mummies. Then he said in a deep voice: "After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he built the Great Wall to resist the invasion of the Huns. However, he used violence to political countries and whip the people. He did not know that the real Great Wall, in the hearts of the people, as long as we Chinese people unite and unite, it is the most indestructible Great Wall in the world. And the soldiers in front of him used their blood and bodies to resist the barbarians and defend their country. After their death, their immortal spirit can inspire future generations. They... are the real Great Wall of our Tang Dynasty!"
