Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3364 Tang Jun Retreats

Xue Wanche became fierce and shouted: "Get off my horses, pick two city walls and bury gunpowder, let's blow up the walls and rush in! Tell me to hurry up with the supply camp at the back. If you come up late, I will kill you!" them!"

"Here!"

The soldiers of the first army are all Pao Ze, and now half of Pao Ze is trapped in the city, those outside are naturally anxious, thinking of rescue.Regardless of the locust-like arrows above their heads, they rushed to the bottom of the city, trying to pry the city bricks to bury gunpowder, trying to blow up the city wall.

"boom boom"

The gunpowder buried in several places was detonated, and bursts of black smoke rose into the air, sweeping the wind and snow in the sky wantonly. Sections of the city wall were loosened by the blasting, but the landslide was not thorough enough.

The outer layer of the city wall of Ping Rang City is made of blue bricks, and the inner layer is thick rammed earth. The power of black powder can easily blow young and strong into the air, but it has little effect on the viscous rammed earth. Achieve the previous effect in Anshicheng and other places.

In the process of burying the gunpowder, the soldiers braved the rain of arrows above their heads, causing heavy casualties.

Xue Wanche jumped in a hurry, the flames in the city were blazing and shouting to kill the sky, obviously the Tang army who rushed into the city had already been ambushed.More than [-] defenders in the city set up traps and besieged them. No matter how brave the Tang army was, how could they resist?These are all the robes under his command. If he is allowed to be wiped out by the Goguryeo army in the city, what face will he have to face the soldiers under his command? When he returns to Chang'an in the future, what face will he have to meet the parents, wives and children of these fallen soldiers?

There was a commotion behind him, and Xue Wanche was about to yell, but found out that the supply troops from the rear had finally arrived...

"Immediately set up a ladder and attack the city for me!"

"Hurry up, hurry up and give me the Seven Star Gate!"

"Who dares to be afraid of fighting, I will chop him with a knife!"

……

Xue Wanche jumped into a rage, brandishing a horizontal knife and constantly giving orders.Seeing that a great achievement is about to be held in his hands, but in the end he was ambushed, ordered to lose troops, and even caused a great blow to the morale of the army besieging Ping Rang City, how could he bear it?
The soldiers of the supply battalion also knew the situation, and each of them carried the ladder to the bottom of the city, and quickly completed the construction. Other engineers continued to dig bricks and bury gunpowder under the city, trying to blow up a few more gaps in the city wall.

Countless soldiers of the Tang army held horizontal knives in their mouths and climbed up the city ladder quickly with both hands, but they were attacked by arrows and rolling logs halfway, and they fell to the bottom of the city one after another, breaking their bones and tendons.

"Boom" gunpowder roared, and gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, but the power was not enough to blow up the city wall to collapse like before. It just blasted the outer blue bricks, and the city wall loosened to expose the rammed earth inside. Sections of the city wall seem to be crumbling and dilapidated, but in fact they are still solid.

*****
The battle was raging below the city, but inside the city tower, Yuan Gai Suwen was as stable as Mount Tai, standing still, sipping tea unhurriedly.

Chang Sun Chong listened to the screams and screams off the court, and the firelight outside made his face turn green and pale, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

Yuan Gai Su Wen put down his teacup, said with a light smile, "Da Lang is worried about the battle in the city? It's okay to go to the window and have a look."

Chang Sun Chong hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear the urgency in his heart, got up and went to the south window.

The howling north wind mixed with snowflakes hit his face, which lifted Chang Sun Chong's spirits, and he didn't feel too cold.The streets and alleys inside the city gate, which were previously dark, have turned into a huge furnace at this moment, probably consuming all the vegetable oil in Ping Rang City, and all the houses are burning in the raging fire, even the bricks and stones on the streets and alleys There was a fire.

Thousands of soldiers of the Tang army who rushed into the city were tossing and crying in the fire. The slippery vegetable oil on the ground caused the horses to stand unsteadily and fell down. The soldiers rolled to the ground and were covered with vegetable oil. Bo's rocket soared into the sky and fell into the formation of the Tang army, igniting all the troops covered with vegetable oil.

The mighty Tang Jun, who is invincible in the world, is tossing and screaming in the sea of ​​fire like livestock at this moment, being slaughtered.

Changsun Chong's eyelids twitched wildly, resisting the convulsions in his chest and abdomen, and ran to the north window to overlook the battle below the city.

Countless Tang soldiers climbed up the city along the ladders, but failed to reach the top of the city. They were hit by arrows, rolling logs, and stones from the Goguryeo army halfway, and they fell down the city one after another, causing heavy casualties.

Seeing this scene, Chang Sun Chong's pupils dilated, his face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his heart fell into the ice cave.

These heavy losses were all caused by his misunderstanding of Zhongyuan Gaisuwen's strategy. After this battle, regardless of whether Pingrang City was captured or Goguryeo was destroyed, his eldest son Chong would definitely bear the brunt of the responsibility and could not escape.

With such a loss, Hugh said that his eldest son, Sun Chong, had no hope of returning to Chang'an, and even the family would suffer. His father even had to kneel before His Majesty and beg for forgiveness...

Behind him, Yuan Gai Su Wen said slowly: "The matter has come to this, what does Da Lang care about?"

What's the point?

Changsun Chong let out a miserable laugh, returned to the desk in a daze, bowed his head without saying a word, and said in a shy voice: "If you want to kill or cut, you will be respectful!"

"Ha ha!"

Yuan Gai Suwen let out a mocking smile, and said indifferently: "Don't make such an appearance in front of me that you are not afraid of life and death. Do you think I will respect you as a man and let you live? Daydreaming. Besides, If you were really not afraid of life and death, when I entered the door just now, you should have rushed forward without fear of death, striving to die with me, but you chose to turn around and break out of the window. Even now, although you are unarmed, you can still rush forward Bite my throat with your teeth, and give an explanation to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who died because of you... But you didn't. Since you regret your life, why don't you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy, and see if you can impress my kindness, But it is really hypocritical to pretend to be generous to die."

Chang Sun Chong's mind was peeked out, he was ashamed and speechless.

As Yuan Gai Suwen said, if he really wanted to die, he should have fought with his life when Yuan Gai Suwen entered the door just now. Since the first reaction at that time was to break through the window and escape, he would have lost it completely. The will to die generously.

Even though he knew that it was impossible to survive, there was still a glimmer of extravagant hope in his heart.

Ants are still greedy for life...

Yuan Gai Su Wen glanced at Chang Sun Chong, the sarcasm in his eyes was barely concealed, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers around him to pour a cup of tea, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said: "As if you are an unfaithful and unrighteous person, my brother I have seen too much in my life, and I have killed too much. In my eyes, it is almost no different from a poodle. Come here, push this person out and behead him for public display, and throw his head on the Seven Star Gate, so that all Tang soldiers can see it. They thought they had sneaked into Ping Rang City, what fate they will suffer!"

"Here!"

Several personal soldiers rushed forward and dragged Changsun Chong out.

Chang Sun Chong was like a walking dead, he didn't struggle, he accepted his fate.

He was afraid of death, but he knew that no matter how much he begged, Yuan Gai Suwen, a murderous demon king, would not be tempted. Rather than being ridiculed by this person when he was dying, it would be better to be stabbed quickly.

Although it can be painful...

The man from Yuan was silent, watching his eldest grandson being dragged out like a porpoise and waiting for execution, he opened his mouth, wanting to beg for mercy, but suddenly realized that he was in danger now, his father's eyes were red when he killed someone , but no matter whether it is a dear father or a dear son, they can only keep their mouths shut.

Suddenly, a cheer came from outside the city tower: "The Tang army has retreated!"

Then, there was a burst of deafening cheers.

"Tang Jun retreated!"

"Tang Jun retreated!"

Yuan Gai Suwen put the teacup to his mouth just now, he was taken aback when he heard the words, put down the teacup quickly, stood up and asked, "What happened?"

A school lieutenant rushed in from the outside of the city tower, with an uncontrollable joy on his face: "Report to Da Mo Lizhi, the Tang army who attacked the city has retreated!"

Yuan Gai Suwen took two steps at a time, came to the north window, looked out against the cold wind and heavy snow, and saw that under the already bright sky, countless Tang troops had receded like the tide, and even the siege equipment was left behind...

What happened that made the Tang army suddenly withdraw, even disregarding the robes in the city?
Yuan Gai Suwen was puzzled, thought for a while, waved his hands and said, "Let's keep Changsun Chong first, maybe it will be useful."

"Here!"

"Order the army in the city to start encircling and suppressing, and annihilate the Tang army in the city as soon as possible!"

"Here!"

"Send out the scouts to spy on the truth of the Tang army. Most importantly, find out why Xue Wanche's troops suddenly withdrew. If I expect it to be true, there must be a major change in the Tang army!"

"Here!"

……

After issuing a series of orders, Yuan Gai Suwen glanced coldly at the quail-like eldest son Yuan boy, snorted coldly, walked away, and strode out of the tower.

Boy Yuan's shirt was soaked in cold sweat. Seeing Yuan Gai Suwen's figure disappearing at the door, he couldn't help letting out a long breath. He felt that his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand, but his heart was filled with ecstasy.

As long as my father didn't kill me in a fit of anger, I'm sure he wouldn't do anything ruthless afterwards, and my little life was probably saved...
