I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 709: Battle of the Tartar Capital
Under the fierce attack of the Tang army, the Tatar tribe could not hold out for a few more days and was doomed to perish.

The Tartar emperor gave Hadir a final deep look, then turned and walked towards the city wall.

The Tartar emperor walked up to the city wall, looked up at the towering Tang army camp, and a tremendous hatred surged in his heart.

This city once belonged to him and was once the place where the Tartars rose to power. However, now the enemy army is approaching and he can only hide within the city walls and struggle to survive.

Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, he lived the most miserable life.

Thinking of this, he could not help but roared: "Your Majesty, we have no way out now, why not surrender."

The Tartar emperor looked towards the west and said, "We still have 200,000 troops stationed in Ningguta. As long as the troops there come to defend the king, I can turn the tide and defeat Li Zheng in one fell swoop."

The generals around him were clearly a little bit unconvinced. The Tang army had already fought here. If the garrison in Ningguta really noticed, how could they not come to help?

Sony thought again and again, and finally told the intelligence he had, "Your Majesty, a battle report just came from the northwest. The Tang general Hou Junji led a 100,000-man army to break through Ningguta. Our flank has been completely destroyed!"

"what?"

The Tartar emperor suddenly stood up and said in a daze, "How is this possible? How could the Tang army break through Ningguta?"

Sony shook his head and said, "Hou Junji is a veteran general of the Tang army. He has more than 20,000 elite cavalry under his command. The Ningguta garrison is no match for him. It is not surprising that they were defeated."

This sounds ridiculous, but the defense system of Ningguta was destroyed by Hou Junji in the first place, and now he has captured Ningguta in a lightning speed, so everything can be explained.

After hearing this, the Tartar emperor could no longer hold on and fainted on the spot.

There was another round of ghost howling. The Tartar emperor was seriously ill and entrusted the important task of defending the capital to Sony.

The news was passed back to the Tang army camp. At this moment, Hou Junji's 100,000 troops had already joined Li Zheng. Li Kan and Hou Junji were on the left and right in the camp. Su Dingfang, Liu Sheng, Liu Lin and Song Sheng also attended the military meeting.

"Your Majesty, we just received intelligence that another 30,000 Qing soldiers have entered the city, bringing their total strength to more than 500,000."

Hou Junji reported respectfully.

Although it sounds horrifying, Li Zheng understands that there are probably all kinds of people here, many of whom are probably newly recruited laborers and government servants. Li Zheng would not take such enemies seriously at all.

But the question now is how to fight this siege well.

The victory Li Zheng wanted was not to let any enemy escape.

Instead of maintaining ties with the enemy, the city of Daxia still needs to spend time to wipe out the bandits.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you send cavalry to bypass the enemy and then attack the city."

Liu Sheng suggested: "The enemy's hasty retreat will definitely leave a gap. We just need to rush into the city and kill them by surprise."

Hou Junji nodded in agreement.

At this time, Su Dingfang, who had been silent, spoke up: "Your Majesty, I think we should wait and see. If our army suddenly launches an attack, the enemy will not dare to fight, and our army will not be able to attack the city. I am afraid that we will miss the opportunity to fight!"

Su Dingfang was a very cautious person and also a strategist. His words made Hou Junji frown and curse inwardly: "You little bastard, you must want to reap the benefits while you are still a fisherman. No, we have to stop her."

Su Dingfang glanced at Hou Junji and said, "Your Majesty, we should quickly send cavalry to get behind the enemy. If we can break through the enemy's flank, it will surely scare them. Then we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"I have made up my mind. All 200,000 men will be deployed to fight tomorrow."

"General Hou Junji leads the central army and has an overall command of the main army."

"General Liu Sheng, command the front army infantry, and make sure to hold the front line." "General Liu Lin, command the left and right wing cavalry, cut off and surround the enemy, and pursue the remaining enemy."

"General Su Dingfang is in command of the three camps. The artillery fire cannot stop for a moment."

"Capture the capital within five days, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will never set foot in the Qing Dynasty again." Li Zheng was calm and composed, and issued military orders calmly as if he was commanding a country. This unprecedented battle, which can be said to be a battle of competition between the Tang Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, just began.

Military meetings are just for show. In fact, the strategy is very simple, just one word: "do it"!
Early the next morning, the Qing capital came under fierce attack. The Tang army launched a wheel-like attack, which made the Tartars exhausted.

The general defending the city, Sony, was even more confused. He looked at the densely packed Tang army and didn't know what to do.

The Tartar emperor had always trusted him and even asked for his opinion on matters of state.

Therefore, Sony had a very high status in the heart of the Tartar emperor, far exceeding that of ordinary princes, which made him have a deep affection for the Tartar emperor.

But the situation today was so dangerous that the Tartar emperor actually ordered him to organize an army to resist immediately and hold out for two months.

Sony knew that it had no more food, so it wanted to buy time.

"Kill them all."

The Tatars charged frantically, but the Tang army continued to advance steadily according to the original plan without any panic. This was the advantage of their rich experience and tacit cooperation.

Rows of arrows fell from the sky, hitting thousands of Tatars, but these Tatars seemed unafraid and continued to charge forward fearlessly.

They rushed towards the Tang army like a tide, trying to tear a hole in it.

Live towards death?

madness!

Li Zheng said coldly in his heart.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, hundreds of shells fell into the Qing army's lines that had taken the initiative to attack, and blood and flesh flew everywhere, with screams ringing out.

The explosion of these shells produced huge amounts of smoke and dust, which obscured the Tatars' eyes, making it impossible for them to see the situation ahead and they could only rush forward blindly.

But the Tang army's formation remained neat.

"Shields ready, archers ready."

Following Li Zheng's order, the shield soldiers in front raised their shields, the spearmen moved slowly under the protection of the shields, and the archers behind also bent their bows and aimed arrows at the front. As long as the Tatars in front showed a flaw, they would be covered with a wave of volleys.

The Tatars' attacks became more and more fierce, but the Tang army remained motionless.

"Bah, bah, bah"

Suddenly, a roar like the collapse of heaven and earth was heard, and countless black shadows appeared in front of the Qing army's formation, rushing towards them.

The Qing army shouted in fear and tried to avoid them, but the shadows seemed to have some spirituality and avoided them.

In fact, these were the first round of shells measured for the Tang Army's Shenwu cannon.

"Boom boom boom!"

Along with a huge sound, countless stones and wood chips flew out, and a gap appeared in the Qing army's formation in an instant. Then countless arrows flew in, taking away countless lives in an instant!
