Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"Are we being looked down upon by these two-legged sheep? Insulting people?"

The Turks laughed wantonly.

But I don't know the next moment, those small iron lumps burst open one after another, as if some mechanism was activated, and endless thick smoke came out from inside.

In just a few breaths, thick smoke enveloped a radius of tens of feet outside the city gate.

The Turkic soldiers were shocked immediately.

They found that in the thick smoke, they couldn't see their fingers.

Losing their vision, the entire Turkic camp became chaotic in an instant.

Because no one knows whether enemies will suddenly emerge from the thick smoke ahead to attack them.

"What's going on? Where's the smoke coming from?"

Jieli Khan was also at a loss.

Chapter 421: Breakthrough

"Profuse sweat is the thick fog from the iron lump they threw just now. It should be non-toxic, otherwise they will be poisoned too." A Turkic warrior said thoughtfully.

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that, they must know the situation inside better than us, and sending people in hastily will only lead to death."

"Khan, why don't we just pour oil on fire and extinguish them all in one go. It might be difficult to catch people alive."

"Then kill them all!"

Jieli Khan immediately ordered.

Although he really wants the technology that can make people fly into the sky, what is more important now is to quickly resolve the battle so that he can deal with the tens of thousands of troops brought by Li Xiao.

Because on the horizon, the countless strange chariots were less than three miles away from the city wall, and even the figures sitting inside could be seen.

Inside the shield wall, civil and military officials also saw the situation outside through the gaps, and all of them opened their mouths wide in surprise, speechless for a long time.

"Your Highness, what did your subordinates throw out just now? Why is there so much smoke in just a moment?" Wei Zheng asked confusedly.

"Don't ask, I don't have time to talk about it now." Li Xiao said without hesitation, "The smoke will dissipate soon, and it won't last long. Now you tear off the cloth strips, use them as face scarves to cover your mouth and nose, and then close your eyes as much as possible. .”

"What is this for?"

Cheng Yaojin looked confused, but did not hesitate, and immediately followed what Li Xiao said.

After a while, everyone's faces were covered with cloth strips, and Li Xiao ordered: "Now let them try tear gas and pepper bombs!"

Then hundreds of tear gas bombs were thrown into the thick smoke.

Seeing this, Li Xiao shouted: "Everyone, break out with me!"

Hundreds of Longxiang fighters quickly separated half of them. They retracted their shields, drew their long swords or spears from their backs, and rushed outside first.

Only then did Baiguan realize that Li Xiao actually wanted to use these hundreds of people to lead them out of the siege.

"Your Highness, I have seen it before. There are at least [-] Turkic soldiers guarding outside the city. How can we break through?" Cheng Yaojin said anxiously.

A few hundred versus five thousand, no matter how you look at it, this is a losing battle.

"Don't worry, I'm sure!" Li Xiao smiled slightly.

In fact, if it wasn't for saving people, if it wasn't for the fact that the Turkic army had penetrated into Chang'an City, why would he have to spend so much trouble?

If he was not worried about harming the people in the city and the civil and military officials, he would have ordered artillery positions to be set up five miles outside the city, and first sent hundreds of shells to the Turkic people to try something new.

But he can't.

These civil and military officials, as well as a dozen princes, are the only remaining members of the Tang Dynasty.

If these people were gone, even if he defeated the Turks, the entire Tang Dynasty would still fall into chaos without management.

Taking advantage of the thick smoke obstructing the sight of the Turkic army, everyone broke through.

But soon, the Longxiang soldiers in the front row were discovered by the Turkic soldiers guarding outside.

"Someone! I saw them, they want to escape!"

"Quick, here they are!"

"Kill them!"

A Turkic soldier yelled, and soon the surrounding Turkic soldiers were attracted by the sound, and approached Li Xiao's group with the momentum of encircling them.

"Throw a high-explosive grenade!"

Li Xiao shouted again: "Shield cover!"

Hearing the order, those Longxiang fighters holding shields quickly rushed to the front, and the other half of the fighters holding weapons took out a small iron lump from their bodies and threw it around, and then hid behind the shields. later.

"Everyone get down!" Li Xiao shouted hastily.

Everyone didn't know why, but at this critical moment, they did what Li Xiao said without thinking, and fell to the ground one after another.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Deafening explosions continued to sound.

What followed was the screams of Turkic soldiers.

The thick smoke was cleared for a moment by the air wave generated by the high-explosive grenade.

The civil and military officials lying on the ground saw through the gap that the outside was covered with broken corpses, and they couldn't help being horrified.

What did Li Xiao do?

In just an instant, such a tragedy was caused.

But time is running out, and no one dares to ask questions at this time.

Li Xiao waited for the sound of the explosion to fall, and then shouted: "Rush out!"

Hundreds of Longxiang fighters turned into sharp knives and opened the way ahead.

Although only one out of ten of the thousands of Turkic soldiers were killed by the grenade at this moment, everyone was stunned by the sudden movement.

I can't even see it, my brain is still roaring, and the whole person is almost in a trance.

Facing the Longxiang soldiers who rushed over suddenly, the Turkic soldiers had no power to resist, and all of them were slaughtered.

Soon, under the leadership of Long Xiang and hundreds of Long Xiang fighters, the crowd fought their way out, successfully broke through, and came outside.

At this time around Xingtai, the Turkic soldiers had been tortured by smoke bombs and tear gas bombs.

"Damn! What the hell is this?"

"I can't breathe, the smoke is poisonous!"

"It hurts! Ah... my eyes!"

"Quick! Help me!"

Almost everyone was rolling on the ground with their eyes covered, struggling to breathe.

When the smoke dissipated, the unaffected Turkic soldiers in the city went out to clean up the battlefield.

And on the high platform of the execution ground in the middle, there were no traces of Li Xiao and others.

Jieli Khan was also forced to retreat to the city wall. As soon as the smoke cleared, he saw Li Xiao and his party hundreds of feet away from the city.

"hateful!"

Jieli Khan looked furious, and shouted: "They ran away! Why don't you chase them quickly?"

"Damn two-legged sheep, they are clearly desperate, why are you still struggling? Wouldn't it be better to just wait for death?"

He had never been so angry.

It is obvious that the group of Han people has been surrounded, and it is obvious that they have won the battle.

But he never expected that this group of Han people, with all kinds of tricks emerging one after another, slipped away under the nose of his tens of thousands of troops.

Simply deceiving!

In just a few moments, thousands of Turkic soldiers who had been tortured to death by tear gas outside the city were carried away, and a larger group of soldiers replaced them.

Under the order of Jieli Khan, they formed a square formation, led by cavalry in front, and chased after Li Xiao and his party.

With the speed of the cavalry, if there is no accident, it will not take a while to catch up.

Cheng Yaojin knew this very well, looked at Li Xiao and frowned and said: "Your Highness, give me 50 people, I will hold them back, you guys run!"

Cheng Yaojin's move is obviously to exchange his own life for the chance of other people's lives.

The civil and military officials couldn't help being moved when they saw this.

Li Xiao glanced back, but he wasn't worried at all, instead he smiled and said, "It's okay, they won't make it through."

"Array, meet the enemy!"

With a cry, hundreds of Long Xiang fighters gave up running without the slightest hesitation, and took down the packages behind them instead.

They took out an iron tubular item from the package.

Flintlock!

Do not!

This can no longer be called a flintlock.

This should be called the original long-barreled rifle.

Referring to the technical improvement of the sniper rifle, it has been made to fire bullets in a percussive manner, eliminating the cumbersome steps of filling gunpowder.

Soldiers only need to load the bullets, pull the trigger, and they are ready to fire.

Of course, this kind of bullet technology has only come out not long ago, there is no time for large-scale manufacturing, and now there are only less than [-] rounds of new bullets.

Hundreds of Longxiang soldiers stood in two rows, squatting in the front row and standing in the back row, all pointing their guns at the chasing Turkic cavalry.

Seeing this scene, all civil and military officials were shocked.

Li Xiao actually wanted to fight!

"Your Highness, I can't fight!"

Cheng Yaojin looked anxious: "I have been fighting outside all year round, and I know the power of cavalry charging on flat ground, and there are thousands of cavalry in pursuit, and thousands of infantry behind."

"Even if we are lucky enough to block the cavalry charge, once we are restrained, we will face countless enemies!"

"Your Highness, you'd better take them away quickly! I'll be the queen!"

Chapter 422: Kill him without leaving any pieces!

Outside Chang'an City.

Li Xiao and his group were about to flee, but the Turkic pursuers behind them were about to charge, and the forest was not far ahead.

But any normal person also knows that as long as he escapes into the woods, he may be able to gain some chances of escape.

Under the shocked eyes of civil and military officials, Li Xiao actually ordered only a few hundred of his men to prepare to fight on this wide flat ground.

There was a puzzled look in everyone's eyes.

At this time, a Longxiang warrior came over, and everyone saw that he pressed some mechanism on the helmet, and the metal mask automatically bounced up, revealing a familiar face.

"You are... Lu Li!"

Wei Zheng opened his eyes wide with shock.

Three years ago, Lu Li was a mid-level official in his Dali Temple, and he noticed him because of his outstanding ability.

Later, due to the involvement of Li Xiaogong's case, Lu Li was suspected of favoring Li Xiao, so he directly threw it to Li Xiao.

Now, three years have passed.

The men who had to look up to him once turned into the God of War and descended from the sky, saving him and all the officials.

This huge gap made it difficult for him to adapt for a while.

"Lu Li met Master Wei!"
