The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

On November 17, 618 AD, Jieli Khan was furious and launched a general attack with more than 200,000 troops.

Chang'an is swaying in the wind and rain, like a small boat in the ocean of Wang Yang, in danger!

The Chang'an garrison was brave and fearless of death, and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

On this day, the two armies fought, and the sky and the earth were dark, and there was no light day and night.

The loud shouts of killing resounded in the sky above Chang'an and could not be heard without stopping.

Jiujiu and Lao Qin fought against the national calamity together. There will be no truce until the blood is shed.

The people of Qin have been bloody since ancient times.

The soldiers fought bloody battles on the front lines, and the people of Chang'an spontaneously climbed to the city tower to contribute their strength.

At the south city gate, a Guanzhong veteran in his forties was stabbed in the chest by a Turkic warrior who had climbed onto the city wall. This was a fatal blow.

His mouth was filled with scarlet blood foam, his face was ferocious, and he shouted:"Spread! Spread all the Turks! Even if it means death, I will kill you!"

He gave up his last breath, ignoring the knife swung by the Turkic warriors, The spear in his hand stabbed out angrily.

They both died together and fell on the wall.

Scenes like this can be seen everywhere on the walls of Chang'an.

The garrison officers and soldiers, even if they die, must drag the enemy to die with them!

The battle lasted for two full days, and murderous intent permeated the entire battlefield. The Turkic army continued to attack, constantly wiping out Chang'an's effective military strength.

November 19, afternoon.

The sky was gloomy, with ink-like dark clouds gathering over Chang'an.

Above the clouds, there was lightning and thunder. A series of terrifying lightning flashes flashed in the air.

It has been raining heavily all day and all night. Outside Chang'an City, strong winds are blowing and the water is overflowing.

The Turks attacked the city day and night, causing heavy casualties to the Chang'an defenders.

The total number of soldiers of the Xuanjia Army and the Imperial Guard was less than 10,000.

At this time, the Turks still had an army of 180,000!

In the Turkic Army camp, Jieli Khan laughed wantonly

"Li Changqing, even if you are unparalleled in the world, even if your dragon cavalry guard is the best in the world, so what?

Under the absolute military suppression of this Khan, it is absolutely impossible for you to defend Chang'an!"

He had already made a plan in his mind. When the city of Chang'an was defeated, he would immediately lead the king's tent to retreat, leaving the 180,000 troops in front and not giving Li Changqing a chance to take his head!

"One hundred thousand Mo Dao Guards slaughtered wantonly in the desert. After I conquered Chang'an, I would definitely massacre the city for three days. Revenge for this Khan and the Turks!"

……

In Chang'an City, Li Shimin was almost desperate.

The Xuanjia Army and the Imperial Guard are almost dead, but the Turks still have an army of 180,000!

Changsun Wuji looked ashen and was as resourceful as him. Under such circumstances, apart from begging for surrender and marriage, he could no longer think of an effective way to defeat the enemy.

Under the signal from Li Shimin's eyes, he calmly came to Li Changqing with courage and said bravely:

"King Wu, the city gate will be breached soon. By then, the entire Chang'an will fall under the iron heel of the Turks. Jiuzhou Continent is about to sink!

For the current plan, only by surrendering to the Turks can we save Chang'an! Wait until one day to recuperate, wipe out the Turks, and avenge this great revenge!"

Li Changqing looked at him with sharp eyes like a sword, and his voice was like a golden sword.

"I have said, no marriage, no tribute! For the sake of Guanyin, I will spare you this one time. If you dare to make such a suggestion that is insulting to the nation again, you will be killed without mercy!"

Changsun Wuji only felt that under Li Changqing's gaze, his whole body was trembling involuntarily, and a kind of fear came from deep in his heart. He bowed his head and retreated, not daring to say another word.

Li Shimin stepped forward and asked Li Changqing angrily:" King Wu! Turkic troops came to the city and entered the palace day and night. You ordered the people of Chang'an to weave bamboo rafts, and ordered the Detachment of Women to rush to the Weihe River, while the dragon cavalry guards under your command did not leave the city to fight. What's the point? Do we have to wait for the Turks to conquer Chang'an?"

Li Changqing ignored Li Shimin's question, glanced at the water that had reached his ankles under the city wall, and murmured:"The time has almost come.

He turned to Yuchi Gong and said:"Jingde, beat the drum!""

"promise!"

Yu Chi respectfully agreed.

On the four walls of Chang'an, hundreds of tiger-skin drums had already been set up!

At Yu Chi Gong's order, hundreds of strong men violently waved the drumsticks

"Boom——"

Hundreds of tiger-skin drums beat at the same time, and the dull sound of war drums resounded throughout the battlefield.

The drum beat was so exciting that it shook hundreds of miles! Cover up the thunder in the sky!

The Turks were shocked and didn't know what the Tang army was going to do.

Jieli Khan sat in the king's tent and sneered:"No matter what tricks you use, it is meaningless now. Defeat Chang'an tonight!""

……

Not far from Chang'an, where the Turkic army was encamped, there was a river named Weihe.

The Wei River, also known as the Wei River, is the largest tributary of the Yellow River!

Two days ago, when the sky was darkening, Li Changqing ordered a thousand Detachment of Women to go to the north bank of the Weishui River. They packed tens of thousands of sandbags and threw them in the river to block the river and collect the torrent!

Yesterday, it rained heavily.

It rained heavily all day and all night and has not stopped yet.

The Wei River was already blocked, and coupled with the continuous heavy rains, it has now flooded!

The thousand women's army waiting at the Weishui River suddenly heard the sound of war drums that resounded throughout the world, and immediately dug open the Weishui River.

"Rumble——"

In an instant, monstrous floods came out of the Wei River and rushed towards Chang'an with shocking momentum!

The Turkic army outside Chang'an City bore the brunt and was instantly submerged in the torrential floods.

The people of Chang'an, as early as Li Changqing's order, had made rafts for every household.

The flood came and everyone sat on the raft.

Once the Weishui River was excavated, it seemed as if a powerful demon had been released.

The floods are endless.

In just a quarter of an hour, the level water was several feet deep!

The Turkic army of 180,000 was completely overwhelmed.

Jieli Khan's eyes were about to burst and he looked up to the sky and shouted:"Heaven will destroy me!""

"How unfair is Changsheng Tian that it rained heavily at this time, so that Li Changqing took advantage of him!"

"puff!"

In extreme grief and anger, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.

The Turks grew up in the desert, and the entire army of 180,000 people were all landlubbers. None of them could swim!

How could they survive in this monstrous flood!
