Chapter 715 Conquering the Imperial City
"This is a powder bag."

"Retreat immediately."

"damn it."

The Qing army began to disintegrate.

"Rumble"

One after another, the powerful cannons were pushed out. When Hou Junji gave the order, all the thousand cannons were fired at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of the lake was circling in the sky.

"Oh no."

A deputy general shouted sharply, "The Tang army's cannons."

"One thousand divine cannons."

"Boom boom boom boom"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Amid the huge noise, mushroom clouds slowly rose up.

The smoke of gunpowder enveloped the entire land, and the strong, pungent smell filled the air.

Those Qing soldiers who were knocked unconscious by the smoke and dust were soon choked awake.

"cough cough"

A violent cough and a burning sensation came over me.

"This is…"

When they looked carefully, they found that it was thick fog.

A gust of wind blew and the thick fog dissipated.

"boom"

As soon as the thick fog dissipated, there was a loud sound of artillery shells breaking through the air.

"what."

Amidst the shrill screams, many Qing soldiers were torn to pieces or overturned by artillery shells.

The air was filled with smoke and blood.

"Run."

"Let's go quickly."

The Qing army collapsed.

Even though these people are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, they still panic when facing life-and-death danger.

"Run."

Someone shouted loudly, and the already timid Qing soldiers became even more frightened. They turned around and ran away desperately.

"Catch up."

"Catch these beasts, don't let them get away!"

"Chase."

The Tang cavalry pursued bravely.

"Da da da"

"Bah, bah, bah"

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the valley.

"what…"

"what…"

"Help!"

There were constant screams and many Qing soldiers were shot off their horses.

At this time, their horse riding and archery skills become particularly critical.

"Pfft."

A warhorse was shot, and the Tang soldier on the horse fell off with a scream.

Several others also got it.

"puff"

Tang Jun struggled to get up, but he felt a black screen in his eyes.

"The enemy is coming."

He growled and fell to the ground.

When the Tang cavalry was about to arrive, he forced himself to stand up.

"Everyone follow me."

The Tang army was already blood-thirsty, and upon seeing this they rode forward on horseback, thrusting their spears at the Qing army.

"puff"

"puff"

The Tang army's spears pierced directly into the Qing army's bodies, pinning them to the ground.

"Kill."

This scene inspired the Tang army.

They were fearless and brave, charging into the enemy lines.

The ferocity of the Tang army was beyond the expectations of the Qing army, and they had to organize a counterattack.

"kill."

"Kill all the Tang thieves."

The two armies fought each other, and wailing filled the air.

The artillery fire continued.

Sony stood in the distance and saw that the Tang army was getting more and more courageous as they fought, and he felt a little bitter in his heart.

"Are these Tang troops so powerful? No wonder Master Zhongtang was defeated by the Tang army. God wants to destroy our Qing Dynasty."

He gritted his teeth as he looked at the generals fighting bloody battles in front of him, then turned and left.

"Report, Marshal, a large number of Tang troops are coming from the north, and our army can no longer resist them."

"what?"

"Come on."

But soon after Sony led his troops to evacuate, Liu Sheng broke through the four city gates in one fell swoop, and a large number of Tang troops poured in, and the Qing army's defense collapsed.

"Marshal, our army has completely wiped out the Qing troops on the city wall."

Song Shengxianfeng fell to his knees.

Li Zheng said: "Order the entire army to continue the pursuit."

He was not proud of it.

In two hours, 200,000 Tang troops marched into the Qing capital. The reason they waited so long was because they had to clear the ruins and corpses in the city, otherwise Li Zheng's carriage would not be able to enter the main road.

Now only the Imperial City has not been breached. There are still many Qing court guards resisting there, but it is only a matter of time before it is captured.

Li Zheng continued, "Pass on my order, order Liu Sheng and Liu Lin to lead 5,000 infantrymen to capture the Imperial City of the Qing Dynasty. If you fail to take it within half an hour, you will be beheaded."

"According to the order."

When it was dawn, Liu Sheng finally returned to report.

"Your Majesty, the Qing army has completely surrendered."

"very good."

Li Zheng said with satisfaction: "Inform all the soldiers to reward the three armies tonight and make sure they have enough food."

"Yes."

In the early morning, the Tang army was resting in the camp.

Li Kan, wearing armor and holding a sword, walked into the big tent.

"Li Kan, how is it?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Did everything go well last night?"

Li Kan smiled and said, "We have entered the city and captured hundreds of Qing army ministers."

"Ah."

Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "I heard that you beheaded hundreds of people. You are really like tigers and wolves."

Li Kan grinned and said, "These people are nothing but grass. It doesn't matter if the shark doesn't kill them."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Li Zheng laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, these people are all captives. How should we place them?"

Li Zheng said calmly: "Kill them all!"

His tone was very indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial and ordinary matter.

But his words shocked Li Kan and Su Dingfang.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Li Zheng glanced at the two of them calmly and asked, "How do you think we should deal with these people?"

"this…"

Su Dingfang hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty, these people are extremely evil and should not be left to cause trouble to the Tang Dynasty."

"Ok?"

Li Zheng frowned at the other person.

Li Kan glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, you are not confused, you are... you are broad-minded."

"Ok?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "My dear, I am indeed very broad-minded."

"Your Majesty, is your goal to bring prosperity to the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Kan asked.

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "I only hope that the Tang Dynasty will prosper forever, as for the prosperous times, forget it."

"No, this wish will definitely come true."

Li Kan said confidently.

The emperors of this era basically did not seek prosperity, and they believed that it was unrealistic.

Li Zheng's heart moved, and he asked casually, "Why?"

Li Kan said: "Well... I think as long as we work hard, we can definitely make the people rich."

Li Zheng's eyes sparkled, and after a long while he said, "If this is the case, the Tang Dynasty will not be short of national prosperity, but you don't know how difficult this road is."

"No matter how difficult it is, we will persevere."

Li Kan expressed his opinion without hesitation.

Shu Diangfang said: "Marshal, now that we have made the decision, let's stick to it."

Li Zheng sighed and said, "I am just worried. After all, you are aware of the situation in the Tang Dynasty."

He pointed to Liaoyang Prefecture in the north and said, "The war situation over there is urgent. If the Jiannu cannot be wiped out quickly, the Mongols in the northwest will also be ready to make a move."

"His Majesty."

Li Kan cupped his hands and said, "You said that we are the people of the Tang Dynasty. In order to protect the Tang Dynasty, we will not hesitate even if it means sacrificing our lives."
