The Dahua army captured the city, surrounded it from three sides, and killed it. Suddenly, the city was lost and flew around, and many soldiers fell in the pool of blood at every moment.

"Kill--" Before the archers guarding the city had shot and killed many enemy soldiers, the Dahua Pioneer Army had already approached the city. The siege equipment such as cloud ladders, flying bridges, nest chariots, pointed chariots, and rushing vehicles were dragged by straight ropes. The servants shouted trumpets and transported the siege equipment to the city, and the army was as strong as a mountain.

Chang'an City is towering, with a six-meter-high main wall. There are also women's walls on the main wall. Bricks and bushes are built on the female walls. The battlements between the bricks are the lookout holes and shooting outlets for guarding soldiers. There are city towers, corner towers, and viewing towers on the city walls, and thousands of soldiers squeezed into the corridors of the city walls and used various defense tools to counterattack.

The soldiers of Dahua who were throwing stones, boiling oil, rolling soup, bows and arrows, rolling wood, etc. were soon attacked by overwhelming offensives and suffered heavy damage.

At this time, the Dahua Army was outside the two gates of the east and west, and the stone-cattering cannons were added. The inside of the city was filled with pottery jars filled with black gunpowder. After igniting, they were thrown out and smashed on the city wall. Countless iron beads and iron sheets were blown up, and many Tang soldiers were injured in the flying randomly.

Although this lethality is not fatal at once, it can sweep away. Many soldiers are injured. No matter how minor or serious they are injured, they all hide back and take the opportunity to escape to the injured camp to avoid war.

This series of explosions shocked the Tang army and made the morale of the defenders in the city even more suppressed.

The city guard general Xu Shixu and Xiahou Duan commanded the army, and they were still holding on. They followed Li Yuan to raise an army from Taiyuan, so they had a lot of feelings for the Tang State and really planned to live and die with the city.

"Kill--"

At this time, the city of Chang'an shouted and killed the sky, and Dahua's black bow and arrow formation kept shooting towards the city head, and the men who were carrying ladders and siege chariots like covering the tide attacked the city walls and gates.

However, the Tang army was still resisting. The soldiers in the city kept walking back and forth, carrying equipment, wandering and shooting arrows, holding hooks and sickles to push the ladders, and constantly throwing wooden and rocks under the city. In such a fierce attack and defense, there were still a group of fierce enemy soldiers who were not afraid of death climbing up to the top of the city, fighting to the death, and then being cut into meat sauce.

Looking from afar, half of the human body kept falling down from the city, falling into bloody corpses, broken ladders, corpses at the base of the city walls were like hills, and blood flowed like streams.

Li Xuanba personally wore armor, climbed up to the top of the city, and led troops to kill the enemy. His martial arts skills were extremely high, and he had a three-foot green edge with his finger. Although he did not have an advantage in length, he took action like lightning. Many warriors who climbed up to the top of the city were killed by him with one sword.

Of course, his personal courage is limited, and he can only be within a certain range and is invincible. However, the range of siege is at least a few miles. No matter how many people kill a person, it cannot change the situation of the battle.

The fierce battle this day, the Dahua army did not use all its strength, otherwise there would be greater casualties between each other.

Luo Zhaoyun did not want to kill a thousand enemies and harm himself. If he captured Chang'an City through bloody battles, not only would his elite troops suffer heavy casualties and kill too many defenders, but it would not be conducive to resolving the hatred and hostility of the people in the city after occupying Chang'an.

After all, many of these defenders are strong men in the city. One person represents a family of people and involves more relatives. Therefore, if tens of thousands of Tang troops were eliminated, and tens of thousands of Tang troops came from the city, then at least more than 10,000 families and tens of thousands of households would be resentful to Dahua soldiers. In addition to their relatives and friends, this is an unforgettable resentment.

Therefore, Luo Zhaoyun planned to use tricks to attack the city today, just put pressure on the Tang army, intimidate, and attack the east and west. The real main force of the city was the elites and assassins who were constantly sneaking into Chang'an City through the tunnel.

Of course, relying on thousands of elite troops, it is impossible to quickly open the stone bricks at the city gate in a short time, but with explosives, it can be achieved in one piece, and it is like a sturdy force.

The Li Tang royal family and those generals and ministers would never have thought that the Dahua army would have had a brilliant plan to defeat the city.

However, once this city is broken, Luo Zhaoyun will definitely order the tunnel to be disrupted again and no hidden dangers will be left, because Chang'an City will be his imperial city in the future.

In the afternoon, the army was withdrawn, with thousands of casualties, and it was useless to attack hard. In the middle, the new army was replaced with a passionate training.

The next day, Dahua quit, and there was no need to continue attacking, but kept shooting arrows into the city to persuade the surrender.

Three days later, Lai Hu'er led his army and brought more than 40,000 troops. As a result, the army outside the city reached 150,000 and 60,000 troops.

The Tang army in the city was even more pessimistic and was full of despair about defending the city.

Prince Li Jiancheng had a bad face and was worried that the city would be destroyed at any time. He already had a loyal follower and advised him to leave as soon as possible.

Li Wengan, the confidant adviser, said: "Your Highness, we should evacuate earlier, otherwise it will be difficult to break through. Moreover, as Dahua continues to increase troops and put pressure on the city, the soldiers in the city resist the defending city. If this continues, it will be easy to cause mutiny. Some generals have already shown signs. It is very dangerous if they gather together, attack the city gate, welcome the Dahua army outside the city, or force the imperial court to be in the palace."

Other strategists and generals also persuaded each other. Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "The city has not been broken, how can I retreat? Otherwise, wouldn't I give in to Chang'an?"

General Lu Shaozong of the Right Guard said: "Your Highness is not very meaningful to stick to him here. Even if he can lose some of the troops of Dahua, people are alive and the source of troops is endless. The entire pass, Hexi and Longyou are all the territory of Dahua. They can recruit hundreds of thousands of troops. We will drag down tens of thousands of troops here, and the impact on them is not serious. It is better to take some elite troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we encounter ambushings from Dahua on the way, it will be difficult for us to leave early."

Li Jiancheng was still hesitant, and at this time, Li Xuanba rushed over from outside.

"Brother Wang!" Li Xuanba shouted loudly before he arrived at the hall.

Li Jiancheng stood up to greet him: "Xuanba, why are you so in a hurry? Is there something strange about it?"

After Li Xuanba came in, he said, "I was in seclusion just now, but suddenly, I felt a killing aura. Tonight, there seemed to be a bloody disaster. I immediately summoned the most elite imperial guards and we broke out from Xuanwu Gate overnight!"

"Just abandoning the city like this?" Li Jiancheng was a little confused.

Li Xuanba said: "I practiced the Ziyang Palace's mind method and reached the level of innate qi, and sometimes I can perceive good and good fortune. As the saying goes, before the autumn wind moves, I feel that something must have happened tonight, but I cannot predict what it is. I only have a foreseeable feeling of boundless blood and killing. There may be a big disaster to come tonight, and we have to leave overnight, and we still have a little vitality, and only bring our confidants and the imperial guards. Don't alarm the army guarding the city to avoid mutiny."

Li Jiancheng looked at his third brother's solemn expression, not at all joking. He turned cold and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll withdraw tonight. The Dahua army would never have imagined that we should be able to break through!"
