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

Chapter 710: Attack on the Capital
"what--"

Scary screams continued to be heard, and after a brief panic, the Qing people began to counterattack.

They raised their swords and tried to chop down the invading Tang troops.

However, the Tang army did not retreat, instead they continued to charge forward.

"Pfft, pfft!"

A long spear pierced into the chest of the Qing army, and bright red liquid spurted out, staining the ground red.

"Kill!"

The roar of the Tang army shook the sky, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

The Qing army fought bravely and desperately, while the Tang army seemed ferocious. Every time they swung their spears or chopped with their sabers, they could always take away a life.

Blood dripped from the spears to the ground, but the Tang army seemed to be unheard of it, and their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light.

Beside them, there were corpses lying everywhere, and blood gathered together and flowed into a river.

They stepped on the corpses and used up their last bit of strength to kill the enemies.

Enemies were killed one after another on the way forward for the Tang army. Their blood dyed the armor of the Tang army red, making them look even more ferocious.

"what!"

A Tang soldier roared, his shoulder was pierced, and blood spurted out.

However, he ignored it and continued to swing his spear, stabbing the enemies around him.

He was covered in blood, like a devil.

His spear pierced the opponent's throat. The man stared wide-eyed and mouth opened wide before he died, with his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

His body fell limply to the ground, blood gushed out, staining the soil bright red.

However, the surrounding Tang army did not stop at all and continued to move forward with firm steps.

Their footsteps became heavier and each step was extremely difficult, but their eyes became colder.

"Oh!"

An iron ball hit the old face of a Qing army soldier, and his brain immediately popped out. The Qing army soldier fell to the ground, twitching, and then there was no sound.

"shhhhhh"

Several sharp arrows shot at the neck of a Tang soldier, but he actually reached out and grabbed the arrow and pulled it out.

"Bang!" There was another muffled sound, and a personal soldier was nailed to the ground by an arrow, and he couldn't even struggle.

Tang Jun is just like this. They are fearless of death and pain and keep moving forward.

At this time, Sony was standing on the city wall, looking outside anxiously. He was unwilling to give up this opportunity and hoped to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"Report to the Marshal, the East Gate has been lost."

After hearing this, Sony couldn't help but hold back his breath and said, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he was too optimistic, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing: "What a pity."

He thought he had a chance to turn the tables, but now it seems that's not possible.

Send the order to assemble the troops and prepare to defend the east gate."

The role of these Qing troops was to tie down the Tang army and give them time to catch their breath.

But they don't really want to win the battle, they just want to delay it.

"Get out quickly, get out quickly."

The Qing army continued to retreat, but the Tang army kept pressing and had already forced the Qing army to the north gate.

At this moment, the area near the North Gate had turned into a sea of ​​blood. The corpses of the Qing soldiers covered the streets, and blood gushed out, soon flooding the blue brick ground.

The Tang army boys pursued and continuously harvested the lives of the Qing army.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The Qing army was unable to stop the Tang army's pursuit, and they jumped off the city walls one after another, preparing to flee the ancient city.

"Surrender, surrender."

Qin Junming in the city began to beg for mercy, but the Tang army did not stop at all, but accelerated the pursuit.

Li Zheng stood on the platform, watching the battlefield quietly.

As the general went to fight wisely, he was temporarily protected by Zhao Ming and three thousand guards.

Li Zheng's direction of the Qing army's human wave tactics was really effective. They were all hiding inside the city wall. Under the general trend, even the civilians could only resist stubbornly. What's more tricky is that the bodies of the Qing army kept piling up under the city. In just half a day, they were piled up to two people high.

This actually hindered the Tang army's organized attack.

As a result, the Tang army's offensive eased a lot.

Especially the infantry led by Liu Sheng, facing the first round of fierce attack by the Qing army, casualties gradually increased.

And the flames in the city have not been extinguished.

Li Zhengshi frowned and thought for a moment, then gave the order: "Let all soldiers retreat fifty meters and then ignite the gunpowder."

Everyone was slightly stunned, but still followed the order and retreated fifty meters.

Soon, they ignited the gunpowder.

"boom"

A mushroom cloud rose slowly, then quickly spread out and turned into a snowflake.

"what!"

Countless howls were heard.

The Tang army's Shenwu cannons adjusted the angle, and instantly thousands of cannons fired at the same time, with countless fire dragons shooting out from the gun barrels.

Wherever the fire dragon passes, no grass is left.

The Qing army was wailing and trembling, their hearts filled with regret.

I should have known that I shouldn't have followed the main force. This is simply seeking death.

At the same time, in the Qing army camp in the city, Sony also received the news about the East Gate, and he couldn't help but get furious.

"Asshole, how could this happen?"

"Marshal, the firearms battalion at the east gate was completely wiped out. Of the 20,000 artillerymen we sent out, only 800 or so were left in defeat."

Sony gritted his teeth, thought about it carefully, and said, "Immediately mobilize the elite troops and prepare to retake the city gate."

Although he knew it was difficult, even a pipe dream, he was unwilling to not try.

Then he gave the order: "Order all cavalry to attack and make sure to seize the South Gate."

"twitter!"

"Also, order the tribal soldiers on the left wing to bypass the Tang army and make a detour to cooperate with us."

"Yes."

"Report, General, the west and east gates have been lost, and the enemy is attacking the north gate!"

"What?" Sony asked in disbelief, "How could this happen?"

"General, the enemy has firearms to help us, and our army can't resist them!"

"Damn it."

Sony cursed, then said, "Pass on my order."

"Order the right wing and the center army to turn around immediately and cooperate with the tribe on the right wing to retake the city gate."

"General, the enemy's main force has begun to turn," a lieutenant shouted excitedly.

At this time they were not far from the Qing army's rear line. Otherwise, the Qing army would never abandon the front line and retreat.

"Pyrotechnics."

To the south there are farmlands, and on the farmlands there are piles of dry firewood and straw.

At this point, these things were ignited.

But when the Tang army began to turn, kerosene flew behind them and ignited their troops.

"Help...save us."

Many people were crying and running in the fire.

But it didn't work.

"Hahaha"

Su Dingfang outside the city could not help laughing wildly when he saw this. His eyes flickered, and he shouted, "May God help me. Fire the cannon."

"Bang, bang, bang!" The dense firearms were unleashed, and the Qing army suffered heavy losses.
