Chapter 746
Hou Junji and others were anxious about the battle situation at the east city gate, but Li Shimin smiled slightly, as if everything was under control, and said, "They were trapped! It's time!" Then he shouted to Hou Junji, "Junji, immediately lead our armored infantry to attack the gap in the city, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" Hou Junji immediately understood Li Shimin's intention, couldn't help but responded excitedly, and then ran down and led the four thousand armored infantry to rush towards the gap that had been bombarded by artillery catapults.
Does the Tang army also have iron-armored infantry? The Tang army did not have it at first, but after the Tang army saw the terrible power of the Liao army's blood-slaughter warrior, they formed their own heavy armored infantry in the way of the blood-slaughter warrior, called the Tiance Mansion's personal soldiers! These elite soldiers were all wrapped in thick armor and used huge long horse-slashing swords. They had never been put into the battlefield before. This is the first time they appeared on the battlefield!
The 4,000 Tiance Mansion soldiers led by Hou Junji quickly felt the gap and rushed in. The Liao army officers and soldiers guarding the gap had already received a message from the sentry at the city and were ready to fight.
The personal soldiers of Tiance Prefecture rushed into the gap and fiercely attacked the Liao army's defense line. With the huge impact, the Liao army's defense line was suddenly sunk. The Liao army's heavy armored infantry struggled to maintain the front with their shields, and the Tang army's impact finally failed to break through the Liao army's defense.
At this moment, the heavy armored infantry of the Liao army roared and stabbed out with a long spear in their hands. Only a loud noise was heard. The long spear of the Liao army stabbed the opponent's body but could not pierce their armor at all! This was the first time these heavy armored infantry of the Liao army encountered such a scene, and they were stunned.
Hou Junji raised his spear and shouted loudly: "Kill me!" The personal soldiers of Tiance Mansion immediately made a roar like a wild beast, waving the huge horse-slashing sword as high as the man in his hand, fiercely slashing the Liao army officers and soldiers in front of him! The huge impact of the ping-ping-ping-bang sounded, and the powerful force made the Liao army officers and soldiers fall to the ground one after another! However, the heavy armored infantry of the Liao army was extremely tenacious and still tried hard to maintain the front line! Hou Junji became anxious and shouted: "Attack Xiapan!" The personal soldiers of Tiance Mansion immediately waved the long sword of the horse-slashing sword to sweep Liao army, and saw a piece of blood flying. The Liao army officers and soldiers fell one after another, and the originally rigorous defensive front collapsed! Hou Junji was very excited, and immediately rushed the army and rushed the Liao army's front line into pieces, and the two sides fell into a melee!
Under this situation, the Liao army's situation was even more unfavorable. Although ordinary infantry fought to the death, they were almost unable to resist in front of their opponent's heavy armored swords, and they were cut down in pools of blood, and suffered heavy casualties in an instant. The heavy armored infantry could barely resist, but the spear in their hands could not pierce the opponent's iron armor, but the opponent's long horse-slashing sword could tear the armor on their bodies, and the heavy armored infantry also fought one by one and died one by one.
At this time, the follow-up troops led by the fierce general Wang Bodang also rushed in from the gap and joined the ranks of fierce attacks. Although the Liao army tried its best to stop the enemy's attack, they were unable to do so. Under the fierce attack of the Tang army, they all died in bloody battles and the gap had been completely broken through by the Tang army!
At this time, Luo Cheng led more than a hundred personal soldiers to the gap to reinforce, but immediately fell into a hard battle. The cavalry could not form a devastating impact like ordinary infantry in front of the personal soldiers of the Tiance Mansion who were wielding the long sword to kill horses. Instead, they were cut by the roaring and flying long sword to make people fall back and fall over and suffer heavy casualties! Luo Cheng was trapped in the siege of Wang Bodang and Hou Junji, and the situation was in danger!
In the direction of the city wall, although the fierce attack of the Tang army could not break through the Liao army's defense, the car rushing to the city finally broke open the city gate. The three brothers generals Xue Wance, Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun led a 10,000 army into the city gate! Xue Wanche was originally Li Jiancheng's general, but after Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were defeated, Xue Wanche defected to Li Shimin, and now he is a powerful general who is quite dependent under Li Shimin!
The army rushed in, like a surging wave, which was unstoppable. The more than a hundred Liao army officers and soldiers at the city gate faced this scene but did not retreat. They even roared and rushed up! In an instant, the rolling iron hooves submerged the Liao army officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers fell under the iron hooves of the Tang army and died in the battlefield!
The Tang army cavalry drove straight in, while the Tang army infantry climbed up to the city wall from the inside to attack the Liao army on the city wall! At this moment, the Liao army had no chance of victory, but they were still fighting, fighting to the last person, and in the last breath, the broken military flag was still flying at the top of the city! Suddenly, a roar exploded, and the seriously injured Liao army soldier actually fell down the city wall with two Tang soldiers!
Li Shimin and others looked at the fierce battle on the top of the city. Although they knew they were sure to win, they knew that the fierce battle was far from over! Cheng Yaojin, who was standing aside, looked extremely excited and couldn't help but shout: "These guys! These guys!... At this point, are they still unwilling to take a step back!"
Countless Tang troops rushed towards the Liao army's battle flag and tried to cut down the Liao army's battle flag. The Liao army fought to the death and protected the battle flag with its own bodies. The fierce battle was breathtaking! At the end of the battle flag, there were already mountains of corpses around it, but the Liao army's war cavalry was still fluttering in the wind! A Liao army officer stood up with his back swaying against the battle flag, covered in wounds and blood. The long sword in his hand had turned into a jagged look. When facing such a person, the Tang soldiers couldn't help but be frightened, but they didn't dare to move forward again for a while!
The terrifying combat power of the Liao army was amazing, but it could not reverse the general trend of this battle. The city had been broken, most of the soldiers had already been killed and killed, and the remaining officers and soldiers were injured. Faced with the Tang army's fierce attacks one after another, all they could do was to use their lives to maintain the Liao army's military power! The city could be lost, but the Liao army's military power could never be desecrated!
The remaining Liao army retreated to the prefect's mansion and prepared to make the final resistance. The Tang army had already entered the city and surrounded the prefect's mansion. The fierce fighting had stopped and the whole city was quiet. This was the peace before the last storm. A wounded soldier with eyes damaged and blindness sat under the corridor in the backyard of the prefect's mansion. He picked up a leaf and put it under his nose and smelled it. A smile appeared on his face.
Li Shimin immediately frowned outside the prefect's mansion. He knew that although there was no suspense in this last battle, he didn't know how many soldiers would be killed or killed in the battle! He really didn't understand why these Liao troops were still persisting at this point!?
