Chapter 923
The site of the Potala Palace is fairly solid, but after all, it was used to guard against the rebels in the country, not to guard against an organized army, let alone an elite like the Beiya Forbidden Army.

The Beiya Forbidden Army first attacked the city with strong attacks and shot rockets, disturbed the defenders, and covered the attacking Tang army soldiers, and then sent out heavy armored infantry to attack the palace gate with wood. The ladder came to the door and tried to seize the door.

The Tang army was numerous and powerful, occupying an absolute advantage in military strength. Under the surprise attack at night, the offensive was extremely fierce, while the Tubo army was already insufficient in strength, and it was even more obvious that they had to guard four gates and various places in the palace. The ground force is stretched.

If the Tang army only attacked one of them, the Tubo army could still cope with it for a while, but the Tang army's four-door attack scattered the Tubo army's insufficient strength, and they were even more unable to cope when they were panicked.

Since Xi Junmai led the army to attack the city, in less than half an hour, the Beiya Imperial Army had already breached the outer gate. The outer gate was broken, and the Beiya Imperial Army rushed straight to the second palace gate without stopping.

The Potala Palace was suddenly attacked by the Tang army, and the Tubo soldiers were not prepared at all. After all, who would have thought that the Tang army who had just attacked the city outside the city would suddenly appear outside the gate of the Potala Palace.

The Tubo army lost the first barrier in horror, and hurriedly retreated to the second palace gate, but the Tang army's offensive was like a torrential rain, and did not give the Tubo army any chance to breathe. Before the Tubo army could stand still, the Tang army attacked again. .

Soon, the second palace gate was guarded for a shorter period of time than the first palace gate, and was breached again.

Tang Jun broke through two palace gates, and went straight to the inner palace where Zanpu Gongri Gongzan was located, which is the third and last palace gate.

The Potala Palace was originally built to protect the Tubo royal family from the rebellion of the rebels. There are three palace gates in total. The first palace gate guards the outer city of the Potala Palace, and the second palace gate guards the outer city of the Potala Palace. There are important passages throughout the palace, and the third palace gate is the inner palace where Zanpu lives, so the third palace gate is also the strongest, in order to protect Zanpu's final safety.

But now, in the inner city of the Potala Palace, which is the core of Tubo, the Tang army has already approached the city, raising the butcher knife in their hands, and is about to level the last barrier guarding Gongri Gongzan.

The gate of the third palace was crumbling under the might of the Tang army, and at the same time, Gongri Gongzan became an ant on the hot pot.

In just one day, great changes took place inside and outside the city. Nan Cong Xiang, whom he had relied on as his confidant and arm, betrayed him, betrayed Tubo, and dedicated the capital of Luoxie to the army led by Li Ke. Tang Jun.

When Gongri Gongzan first heard the news, he didn't believe it at first, but when he was convinced of the news, he almost passed out on the spot with a headache, even if he hasn't recovered yet.

But now there is no time for Gongri Gongzan to adapt slowly, and slowly release, because a bigger blow has come, and he and his Tubo have reached the last moment of life and death.

Tang Jun had broken through two palace gates in a row, and had approached the third palace gate, that is, under the last palace gate. Once this palace gate was broken, there would be no barrier between him and Tang Jun, and the situation was extremely critical.

But even though the situation is so critical and his life is already hanging by a thread, he still can't come up with any effective ideas and countermeasures, because what he is facing now is not a small group of rebels in the country, but the elites of the Tang Dynasty who are rampant all over the world. Li Ke, who has made many military exploits.

The forces of the two parties are like clouds and mud, and they are not the same. In the face of the absolute power gap, any strategy is useless.

In the inner hall, next to Gongri Gongzan, Tubo's Mu Mo (Zanpu's wife), Gongri Gongzan's concubine Chigadixia sat by the bed, looking at the distraught Gongri Gongzan, feeling a little distressed, Also sighed faintly.

"Zanpu, the Tang army has already reached the gate of the palace. If this continues, I'm afraid there is no way out." Chigadisia spoke, praising Gongri Gong.

Gongri Gongzan's eyes were a little dull due to despair, looked at Chiga Dixia, and asked: "The gate of the city has been broken, and the Tang army is approaching. The total strength of my troops is no more than a thousand, but the Tang army has 20. Even if there are gods and Buddhas here, what can we do?"

Facing the Tang army, Gongri Gongzan, who had a heavy army in his hand, was not an opponent, let alone now, Gongri Gongzan no longer has any confidence and illusions about the battle situation.In his eyes, Tang Jun seemed to appear in the inner hall in a second, capture him, and sacrifice him at Li Ke's feet.

Chigadixia sighed, and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is absolutely impossible to retreat from the enemy, but Zanpu is in such a good age, he should try to protect himself."

Gongri Gongzan listened to Trigadexia's words, and a circle of people flashed in his mind, Chisang Yangdun, Ludongzan, Nan Congxiang, and even Langri Linzhi far away in Chang'an, but none of these people seemed to have The necessity and skill of Baogong Day Gongzan.

Gongri Gongzan smiled wryly, and said: "If Li Ke wants to kill me, who in the world can save me."

Chigadisia said: "With Emperor Tang's temper, if he wants to kill Zanpu, no one can save Zanpu. Therefore, if Zanpu wants to survive, he cannot rely on others. Only Zanpu can save Zanpu in the world. Pu yourself."

As soon as Chigadixia's words came out, Gongri Gongzan knew what Chigadisia meant. Tang Emperor Li Ke acted decisively. If Li Ke wanted to kill Gongri Gongzan, he would naturally not listen to others, so Gongri Gongzan The only way for Rigongzan to survive is to make Li Ke not want to kill him, and if Li Ke doesn't want to kill him, he has only one way-surrender.

Gongri Gongzan asked Chigadixia: "Are you persuading me to descend to Tang?"

Trigadexia did not directly respond to Gongri Gongzan's words, but asked instead: "Besides this, does Zanpu have other ways to save his life?"

Gongri Gongzan was a little excited and said: "Lu Dongzan surrendered to Tang, Nan Congxiang surrendered to Tang, Chisang Yangdun also flirted with Emperor Tang, I, Tubo, died at the hands of traitors who surrendered to Tang, if I surrender to Tang again, then Am I just like them!"

Speaking of Jiangtang, although Gongri Gongzan was afraid of death, he still resisted in his heart, and his reaction was quite excited.

In the eyes of Gongri Gongzan, the death of Tubo was not because of his suspicion and mediocrity, but because of the betrayal of many important Tubo officials. If he, Zanpu, surrendered to Tang now, wouldn't it mean that the choices of those surrendered officials were not wrong? , Did they dedicate Tubo to Datang together?
Trigadexia and Gongri Gongzan have been married for many years. She knows Gongri Gongzan's temperament very well, but after all, they are married, and Trigatixia doesn't want to see Gongri Gongzan commit suicide and fight Tang Jun to death. in the end.

Trigadexia thought for a while, then asked Gongri Gongzan: "The defeat of Tubo was the fault of those traitors, but is Zanpu planning to sacrifice his life because of the fault of those traitors?"
