Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 961 Decision
Li Jing, Changsun Wuji and the others couldn't help but feel deeply when they heard this. There is actually no need for an accomplished veteran like Cheng Yaojin to go into battle in person, but Cheng Yaojin still went into battle in person.

Even Li Shimin was very emotional, he turned his head and said: "tell the soldiers of the three armies about the news that Lu Guogong personally went to attack the city!"

It is conceivable how encouraging this news was to the soldiers of the three armies. Cheng Yaojin was a well-known general in the world, and he was even more famous in the army. Now Cheng Yaojin, as the old Duke, went to attack the city himself. Don't fight to the death?
Just as Li Shimin gave the order, another guard came flying to report: "Your Majesty, the Duke of E has put on his armor and is attacking the city himself!"

"It seems that Zhijie and Jingde are competing, let's see who will take the top of the city first!" Li Shimin laughed and said, "Show the whole army, Duke E has also put on his armor and went into battle!"

Li Shimin was very happy. His own ambition was still alive. The old generals who followed him to fight the world were also young. There is nothing more exciting than this.

Liaodong City must be taken today. At this moment, Li Shimin's heart burst with pride.

Su Cheng couldn't help being very surprised when he heard the news that Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong personally attacked the city, and at the same time he was very worried.

Although Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong had extraordinary martial arts skills, this was not a battle on the battlefield after all, but a siege battle.

What comforted Su Cheng a little was that the rain of arrows was now sparse, not as dense as it was at the beginning.

However, seeing that the defenders on the city wall were still throwing stones and wooden stakes on the ladder, and even dumping hot oil, Su Cheng still couldn't help but feel anxious.

On the city wall, Jin Zhenwu took the lead on the north wall, charged and killed, and finally stabilized the situation. He was just about to take his soldiers to the south wall to boost morale, but suddenly found that the Tang army who had just been suppressed rushed up again up.

Are the generals of the Tang army so desperate?Jin Zhenwu suddenly felt very frustrated, not only because Datang's artillery was very powerful, but also because the soldiers of Datang were really brave and fearless!

Originally, Jin Zhenwu wanted to go to the southern city wall to boost morale, but now he suddenly found that he couldn't get away from the northern city wall either!

The city wall on the north side is very precarious, but the city wall on the south side is even more precarious. More and more Tang troops have climbed the city wall.

"General! General! It's almost impossible to hold that side!"

Jin Zhenwu was heartbroken, if Gao Yanshou was on the city wall, he might be able to boost morale, but now, he is useless!

"Quickly, please go and invite Lord Xisa again, and say that if Lord Xisa doesn't go up to the top of the city to boost morale, the city may not be able to hold it!" Jin Zhenwu whispered to his soldiers.

"You must hold this place, and the others will follow me to support the southern city wall! Kill!" Jin Zhenwu swung his long knife and charged up ahead of the soldiers after dispatching. At this moment, he was not only covered in blood, but also suffered numerous wounds on his body.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The fighting on the city wall has reached a fever pitch. As more and more Tang soldiers rushed to the top of the city, more and more defenders fell into the fighting, unable to defend the city anymore. Tang Bing rushed to the top of the city.

Jin Zhenwu was holding a long knife already covered in blood like a madman. At this time, he only had one obsession in his heart, hoping that Gao Yanshou could come to the top of the city to boost morale.

In fact, even if Gao Yanshou came to the top of the city to boost morale, he was not sure whether he could hold the city, but if Gao Yanshou hadn't come to the top of the city, the city would definitely not be able to hold it.

In the Xunsa Mansion, Gao Yanshou was pacing in the hall with a cloth wrapped around his head. Soldiers kept coming to report the battle situation on the city wall. Although he kept dispatching soldiers to fight on the city wall, the battle situation on the city wall seemed to be getting worse and worse. .

Can this city still be defended?How long can you hold on?

Gao Yanshou was hesitant for a while, if he lost the city after holding on for only one day, even if he had the confidence to avoid guilt, it would be disgraceful after all.

But if he kept waiting, he was worried that he would not be able to leave.

How to choose?

Just when Gao Yanshou was hesitating, Jin Zhenwu's personal soldiers came in hurriedly, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and cried, "Lord Xisa! Lord Xisa! I beg Lord Xisa to go up to the top of the wall to boost morale!" , our general said, if Master Xie Sa doesn't go to the top of the city to boost morale, the city may not be able to hold it!"

Gao Yanshou listened and shouted: "Where is Jin Zhenwu, what is he eating? This commander is seriously injured, how can he climb to the top of the city again, won't it make morale even lower?"

The soldiers cried: "Our general took the lead in order to boost morale. We have already suffered several wounds. Our general has done his best!"

Gao Yanshou pondered: "At this moment, everyone can only defend the city with all their might. Whether or not they can defend the city depends on God's will!"

"Why is it so difficult to defend Liaodong City? It is because of the sudden attack by the cannons of the Tang army that the morale is low. Therefore, the most important thing right now is to inform the court about the cannons and take precautions."

"So, Liaodong City is handed over to General Jin. This commander has more important things to do. The defenders of Liaodong City can be dispatched by General Jin. Go ahead!"

Kneeling on the ground, the personal soldier suddenly raised his head, and said angrily, "Could it be that Mr. Xisa wants to flee without fighting?"

The soldiers of the nearby Cansa Mansion couldn't help shouting angrily.

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you talk to Master Xunsa like that!"

"Do you still have dignity in your eyes? Do you still have rules in your eyes?"

Gao Yanshou's face was also very ugly, how could he say he fled without fighting?It was clear that a battle had been fought, and he even went up to the top of the city to take command, and even got injured!
Gao Yanshou said in a deep voice: "What do you, a small soldier, know? How can you care about the gains and losses of a city or a place? We must focus on the overall situation, and now it is more important to take precautions against the Tang army's artillery and find a way to defeat the Tang army's artillery. Otherwise, even if there are ten Liaodong cities, a hundred Liaodong cities will not be able to stop Tang Jun's footsteps!"

"Hurry up and tell Jin Zhenwu!"

Jin Zhenwu's soldiers left with a look of grief and indignation.

Calm was restored in the hall, and the soldiers said anxiously, "Lord Xisa, what should we do?"

Gao Yanshou sighed: "It seems that Liaodong City really can't be defended. This commander has tried his best, and the soldiers have also done their best. I really didn't expect Datang's artillery to be so powerful!"

"Lord Xisa, it's time to make a decision!"

Gao Yanshou stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Order all the cavalry to gather at the east gate, let all the guards gather, let's break out of the siege, and must report the Tang army's artillery to the king!"

"Yes, Master Xun Sa!" All the soldiers agreed in unison.
