Li Jing stood at the forefront of the army, looked at the defenders on the city wall, and shouted: Li Chengdao, why don't you come out and surrender?

Li Jing, don't be so arrogant, I won't surrender!

Fine, fine, you guys won't surrender, right? Then I'll let you guys have a taste of the power of the Tang army!

After saying that, Li Jing gave the order: The entire army attacks!

At Li Jing's command, countless cannons, ladders, crossbows and other items were fired one after another.

The Tang army's siege vehicles, cannons and other siege equipment fired frantically at the city walls.

There were bursts of loud noises, accompanied by thick smoke billowing up.

Many Tang soldiers were killed in the explosion.

However, more Tang troops were not afraid and continued to throw stones and sticks at the city walls.

Li Jing stood at the forefront of the army, looking at the flickering flames on the city wall, his heart filled with pride.

Li Chengdao, aren't you unwilling to surrender?

Well then, I will use the Tang army’s rockets and ladders to blow down the city walls, making it impossible for any of your Tang army to escape!

On the city wall, the Tang army suffered increasing casualties.

Many Tang troops could no longer hold on.

No, the city wall must be removed!

Yes, there are too few defenders on the city wall. We can’t hold on!

withdraw!

Seeing the increasing damage on the city wall, Li Chengdao finally lost his patience and shouted: Everyone listen up, retreat!

Your Highness!

Zhang Liang said with a pale face.

Li Chengdao said: Zhang Liang, you go back first and tell my father that I will return to Chang'an as soon as possible and strive to ascend the throne as soon as possible!

promise!

Zhang Liang clasped his fists, turned around and left.

Looking at Zhang Liang's departing back, Li Chengdao prayed silently in his heart.

Hope, hope that Zhang Liang can help him seize the throne.

Zhang Liang returned to Shouyuan City and immediately conveyed Li Chengdao's order to Li Shimin.

After listening to this, Li Shimin frowned slightly. After a long silence, he finally made a decision.

Li Shimin said: Zhang Liang, since Li Chengdao refuses to surrender, you should send troops to besiege Shouyuan City!

Yes!

...

Shouyuan City.

When Li Chengdao heard that Zhang Liang led his troops to besiege Shouyuan City, he was shocked and quickly summoned his ministers to discuss how to resist Zhang Liang's encirclement.

Everyone knew that Zhang Liang did this on purpose in order to delay time.

Li Chengdao said: My dear ministers, the Tang army has been besieging Shouyuan City for more than half a month. If we continue to defend Shouyuan City, I am afraid that the Tang army will wear us out!

What does Your Highness mean?

We should withdraw our troops and return to Chang'an.

Your Highness, we have spent a lot of money and food on this military campaign, and we are about to succeed. Are we just going to give up like this?

That's right, that's right. All our military pay was spent on building city defense. It was about to succeed, but it was destroyed by the Tang army. It was really not worth it.

Hearing the ministers' objection, Li Chengdao's face turned very ugly.

Li Chengdao said angrily: My dear ministers, are you planning to rebel?

Your servants, we dare not!

Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare...

All the ministers knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Li Chengdao sighed and said, "Forget it. Since you, my dear ministers, think we should retreat, then let's retreat!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers were overjoyed and immediately stood up and said: Your Highness is wise!

Li Chengdao looked at the minister kneeling on the ground and felt annoyed.

At this moment, Li Jing's army came to attack.

Your Highness, I will ask for your permission! *..
