The eldest grandson Wujian ascended the throne in the morning and called the emperor, changed the name of the country to Han, and in the evening, the 30,000 Han army iron cavalry led by Li Cunxiao and Tai Shici had already arrived in the city.
Qingji decided to defend behind closed doors, and Zhuge Dan suggested: "General, the total strength of the Han army is hundreds of thousands, and there are only about 20,000 troops in Xiangping City.
In this case, the general might as well lead his troops out of the city to fight to the death, and strive to go down in history."
Qingji is a person who values righteousness, and he is grateful for the promotion of the eldest grandson, and is determined to repay him with death, and he listened to Zhuge Dan's suggestion and happily followed it, turned over his horse, took a spear, and lit 15,000 soldiers out of the city to meet the Han army: "If the husband dies, he will die, and the soldiers will go out of the city with me to fight" The drawbridge fell in the sound of "squeak", the city gate was opened, Qingji jumped on the horse with a gun, led more than 15,000 Tang troops out of Xiangping City, and raised swords and guns to meet the Han army on the opposite side.
"Close the gates of the city for me, and don't let Qingji enter the city again" As soon as Qingji's front foot left the city, Zhuge Dan led the old Gongsun clan who was secretly in contact to pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate, "Hundreds of thousands of Han troops are pressing the border, and the Tang Dynasty is about to be wiped out.
With the successive deaths of the two emperors Li Shimin and Li Yuanba, the morale of the Tang army has already fallen to the bottom, coupled with the conflict between the main battle faction and the main surrender faction, everyone is in danger, and the army is panicked.
At this moment, Zhuge Dan stood up and shouted, it was simply a response from 10,000 people, and most of the Tang troops raised their weapons and shouted: "There is no point in fighting this battle again, we are willing to follow General Mu and surrender" As soon as the Tang army led by Qingji came out of the city, they saw the city gate closed, the drawbridge was pulled up, and the arrows were shot down from the city, and there was no way out.
The already low morale of the army collapsed instantly, and they threw their weapons to the ground one after another, shouting and surrendering: "We are willing to submit to the Han Dynasty, and we only ask for people to be left under the sword."
Qingji turned his head and looked around, but when he saw that most of the soldiers had already disarmed and surrendered except for some diehards, he couldn't help but be full of sorrow, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, the bandang knows the loyal ministers, and the national disaster is at the head, who can see death as if it were home."
After sighing, Qingji urged the horse to dance the gun, rushing left and right in the Han army array, like a tiger entering the flock, unstoppable, the horse's hooves were everywhere, and the Han knights fell off their horses one after another.
Li Cunxiao was smashed by a war horse a month ago and broke his ribs, and now although he can gallop on a horse, he does not dare to fight with all his strength, and he can't help but be furious when he sees Qingji rushing left and right in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, as if entering a no-man's land: "This Tang general is really arrogant, he dares to single-handedly reckless in my army, if it is not for the wounded general, forgive him is just a combined enemy, let me surround him in the center, and trap him to death with wheel warfare" With Li Cunxiao's order, a partial general led two thousand elite cavalry out of the crowd and besieged Qingji in the center, raising swords and guns at the same time, bows and arrows fired together, and launched a siege on Qingji.
For a time, people shouted and neighed, crossbow arrows flew, dust flew, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Qingji brandished a spear to dial the carving feather, saw the knife blocking the knife, saw the gun and the gun, and rose up to assassinate more than 100 cavalry Han soldiers.
But at the same time, he was also covered in scaly wounds, blood-stained robes, seven or eight gunshot wounds alone, four or five knife wounds, and more than a dozen feather arrows stuck up and down his body, like a wounded porcupine.
Li Cunxiao saw Qingji so brave from a distance, and he was so loyal to Li Tang, he inadvertently felt compassion, rode forward and shouted to persuade him to surrender: "Then the Tang general listens, Li Yuanba is dead, and the Tang army in the city has turned against and surrendered, and the city gate is closed to prevent you from entering the city."
What's the point of you resisting any longer, if you know the time and quickly dismount and surrender, I will think that for the sake of your loyalty, I can take you under your command."
"Whew" Qingji sneered at Li Cunxiao's persuasion, stabbed a Han military captain under the horse with a gun, and trampled the horse forward with blurred flesh and blood, "The eldest husband is alive, when the grievances and grievances are clear, how can I be greedy for life and fear of death, the eldest granddaughter treats me like a mountain, I should swear to repay each other."
Seeing Qingji so fierce, Li Cunxiao was furious, and he was about to step forward to fight with Qingji: "This Tang general is really hateful, if he is not broken into pieces, I, Li Cunxiao, will not be a man."
Left and right hurriedly stepped forward to advise: "The general Hugh should be angry, your rib injury is just healing, and you have already taken a great risk by galloping on your horse, how can you fight with people again Moreover, this Tang general is not weak, in case the general has a mistake, we can't afford to wait, and I will hand it over to the soldiers to besiege and kill, forgive him for a long time."
Just when Li Cunxiao was furious, Tai Shici slapped his horse and shouted: "General Cunxiao is going to be angry, and see me help the soldiers to behead this Tang general under the horse."
Tai Shi Ci rode his horse and pulled his bow, rushed away from the Han army's iron cavalry, and aimed at Qingji, who was surrounded by the group, and fired three arrows in succession.
The bowstring sounded, and three feathered arrows flew out like lightning, two of the three arrows, hitting Qingji's left shoulder and right arm respectively, piercing the armor and embedding it in the bones, and the two arms could no longer be lifted.
"Kill this Tang general and avenge his dead brother" Seeing that Qingji had suffered a heavy blow, the red-eyed Han troops around him swarmed up, swords and guns, picked Qingji off his horse, divided his body with knives, and chopped it into meat paste.
Qingji died, and the remaining Tang troops were leaderless, and they surrendered on their knees.
The Tang army in the city fell off the drawbridge and opened the city gate to let the Han army enter the city, and the last capital city belonging to the Tang State fell into the hands of the Han army.
Just when Qingji led the army out of the city, Zhuge Dan urged Ma Tijian to return to the "Imperial Palace" changed from the Taishou Mansion in Liaodong, and went straight inside to meet the eldest grandson Wuji: "Your Majesty the Empress, the Han army has broken through the city gate, and countless Han soldiers have flocked to the palace, please follow me out of the city for refuge."
The eldest grandson in the dragon robe sat motionless on the dragon chair and muttered: "Sooner or later, even if they kill me now, I am the only empress in history."
Zhuge Dan arched his hand and said: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, please follow me to quickly leave the palace for refuge."
Seeing Zhuge Dan's sincere face, the eldest grandson Wujian suddenly had the idea of survival, quickly changed into a palace maid's costume, and followed Zhuge out of the palace with Li Erba, who was less than a year old, turned left and right, and came to a secluded mansion.
"The empress, please" Zhuge Dan pushed open the vermilion lacquer door and stretched out his hand to signal the eldest grandson to enter without stains.
The eldest grandson Wujian looked at this courtyard house with a surprised face, but seeing that the surrounding trees were lush and there were no adjacent houses, he asked puzzledly: "Didn't Mu Qing take me out of the city for refuge, why did he bring me to such a secluded place?"
Zhuge Dan went around to the eldest grandson Wujian and pushed it violently, pushed their mother and son into the courtyard, and quickly plugged in the door bolt: "Hehe, Your Majesty, this is the residence I have prepared for you, you will be here for the rest of your life." t1706231537:
