Chapter 1591 Pass my order and the army attacks the city
Just this sentence of capturing Luoxi and becoming a king is enough to let everyone know the emperor's hatred of Luoxi.
You should know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been any precedent for being a king of a different surname.
The reason why Zhao Chen was named King of Han was not because his surname was Zhao, but because his surname was Li.
Otherwise, even if Zhao Chen made great contributions, he would never be able to become the King of Han of the Tang Dynasty.
This is the ancestral rule of the Tang Dynasty.
But now, Li Shimin actually chose to go against the ancestral system in order to capture Luo Xi.
The saying that anyone who can capture Luo Xi and become kings directly abandons the rules since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
This command is enough to drive everyone crazy.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the city tower all showed excitement. If they took Luo Xi, they would not only avenge Zhao Chen, but also become heroes of the entire Tang Dynasty.
He will also be named king by the emperor!
Many of them will never think of becoming a fifth-rank general, let alone a first-rank king.
Niu Jinda fought for a lifetime, but now he is just a county duke, not even a national duke.
What's more, the king?
If they could catch Lossi, their names will be from now on.
Even the history of the Tang Dynasty will be recorded in them.
Everyone stared at the leader of the Luoxi army ahead.
It’s that person. Just catch that person and they can become famous.
Not only these Tang soldiers, but also a few Gaochang generals who could barely stay here to help defend the city, they also heard Li Shimin's orders at this moment.
He wanted to rush to Luoxi now and capture him in front of Li Shimin.
In the Tang Dynasty, he was named a king, not to mention just a general in Gaochang, even the King of Gaochang could not match.
"If I could catch that Luo Xi, I wouldn't have to worry about my whole life!"
"That's sure, the Tang Empire is rising rapidly. Except for Songzan's cadres who are ignorant of life and death, who dares to provoke them?"
"If I really become the king of the Tang Dynasty, I will be the first person in the family!"
"I think of a way to capture Losi. You can't let others take such credit!"
"Yes, I have to find a way!"
On the city tower, General Gaochang whispered, staring at Luoxi ahead with his eyes.
"Is Your Majesty unconsidered in this matter? I have never had a precedent for being a king in a different surname in Tang Dynasty. If this starts, wouldn't it be the same as the previous dynasty again?" Wei Zheng advised Li Shimin, wanting Li Shimin to give up this idea.
But now Li Shimin has long been lost in his anger, so he can't hear half of Wei Zheng's sentence.
He just stared at Wei Zheng coldly, but didn't say anything.
Outside the capital of Gaochang, the army of Luoxi was flying flags and yellow sand was everywhere.
Luo Xi stood in front of the formation on horseback, looking at Li Shimin on the city tower, his eyes full of disdain.
What happened to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? He is still powerless in front of him.
He sent someone to slaughter the Han King's war horse in front of him, but Li Shimin didn't even make a fart.
Today, I led a 130,000 army to trek, and I will surely annihilate all the enemy troops in the Gaochang royal city in one fell swoop.
"Tell me the order, the army will attack the city!" Luo Xi did not hesitate at all. He could not wait to capture Gaochang Capital and capture Li Shimin alive.
Then lead the army to the entire Tang Dynasty territory.
Luoxi's army moved when they heard the order. The siege troops immediately set up ladders, and the siege cars slowly pushed towards Gaochangdu.
There is no moat in front of Gaochang Capital, or there is no moat in front of the entire Gaochang State.
The siege car slowly advanced under the city wall almost without any obstacles.
Li Jing and Niu Jinda had no choice but to order the archers to advance with public hosts to attack the city.
But the effect was obviously unsatisfactory. The Tubo soldiers were hiding behind the siege cars, and it was difficult for them to hit the arrows.
"Go on the Rocket!" Li Jingchao shouted.
Ordinary bows and arrows have no effect on siege cars, and they can only use rockets to deal with them now.
The archer immediately replaced the rocket, and the rocket shot on the wood of the construction vehicle. With the power of tinder oil, the siege vehicle instantly ignited a fire.
Many Tubo soldiers responsible for pushing the siege car were also ignited, screaming and running around, burning to death under the city tower.
But more siege cars slowly pushed over from afar, and countless Tubo soldiers rushed towards the Gaochang City Tower with ladders.
"Duke Wei, the arrows are no longer useful." Niu Jinda's face was slightly dark. If this continues, the Tubo soldiers will sooner or later attack the city tower.
"Wait until they get closer!" Li Jing was not as worried as Niu Jinda thought. Instead, he frowned and said in a deep voice, as if he was confident.
Niu Jinda didn't know what Li Jing was going to do, but he knew that Li Jing would not do something that he was unsure of.
The Tubo soldiers under the city were getting closer and closer, and many ladders had been laid on the city wall, and the vanguard of Tubo soldiers had already begun to climb up the ladder.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty tried to push the ladder down with hooks and sickles, but the effect was not so obvious.
"Blasting Team!" Li Jing suddenly shouted from behind.
Hundreds of Tang soldiers holding sky-bombing cannons walked out of the crowd.
The Sky Cannon in their hands had been lit, and sparks were sizzling, but none of them threw the Sky Cannon out in advance.
"Let me go!" Just as Niu Jinda was frightened, Li Jing suddenly shouted.
Hundreds of blasting hands threw the sky-bombing cannons in their hands down the city tower.
"Boom..."
The endless explosion sounded under the city wall.
The ladder that was originally erected on the top of the city was instantly blown into pieces.
The Tubo soldiers who were climbing the ladder were blown to pieces on the spot.
The blood-cut limbs were applied to the city tower, which was extremely bloody.
The Tubo soldiers who were originally gathered under the city tower were instantly cleared out of a large open space.
Looking down from the city tower, there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere. The blazing fire mixed with the smell of burning corpses, which made people feel nauseous.
The Tubo soldiers who were about to attack the city tower no longer had the courage to take a step forward.
Everyone's face showed a strong look of fear.
They all knew that this was the sky-bombing cannon used by the Tang army during the Battle of Songzhou City, and the researchers were the Han King Zhao Chen who had already killed.
Luo Xi stared at Li Jing on the city tower. How could he have thought that at this point, the Tang army actually had things like the sky cannon.
But he was extremely sure that Li Jing didn't have much in his hands, such as the Sky Cannon.
But now that the soldiers under his command were completely shocked, it would be impossible for them to charge forward again.
Now that we can only withdraw our troops first.
"Ming Jin to withdraw the troops!" Luo Xi immediately issued an order to retreat without any hesitation.
The most important thing to do now is to retain strength, build a catapult, and directly smash the walls of the capital of Gaochang.
Chapter completed!
