Chapter 1804 Breaking down the door
Chapter 1802: Dismantling the Door
“Military advisor, is this method really effective?” Li Shimin asked
“It will definitely be useful.”
A glimmer of light flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he said with great certainty: "Although the structure of the city gate of Hangu Pass is complicated, it can only be opened from the inside and cannot be opened from the outside. There is no doubt about this."
Du Ruhui nodded in agreement and said: "This arrangement allows the city gate to withstand greater impact, so it is almost impossible to break open the city gate of Hangu Pass by using a city impact vehicle to hit it from the outside."
But again, such an arrangement can only protect against the outside but not the inside, and cannot prevent the impact from the inside.
Therefore, if the Fourth Young Master and General Yang Jian can enter the city, destroy the city gate valves, and attack the city gate with all their strength from the inside out at the same time, they will definitely be able to dismantle the entire Hanguguan City Gate.
As for Hangu Pass, which lost its city gate, it would only be a matter of time before it was breached. "
Hearing this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to himself: "I hope it can go smoothly."
At this time, Li Shimin no longer expected to get rid of Li Cunxiao, because it was almost impossible, so he could only retreat to the next best thing and seek to capture Hangu Pass.
In Hangu Pass, after Li Yuanba and Yang Jian closed the city gate, they immediately waved their weapons and began to destroy the mechanical valves that fixed the city gate. Then they each had a sledgehammer and began to smash the city gate from the inside out.
Boom…Boom…Boom…
Li Yuanba and Yang Jian's attacks were unable to damage the steel city gate, but they shook the city gate with every blow.
The city gate without mechanical valves was obviously unstable. After the two of them smashed it with all their strength, the city gate began to detach from the wall and fall down.
Gongsun Yan discovered the two men's intentions at a glance, and immediately reminded Li Cunxiao to stop them, and Li Cunxiao also reacted while riding his horse.
Li Cunxiao's movement was not slow, but in the end it was still a step too late. When he arrived at the city gate again, the city gate of Hangu Pass had collapsed from the inside out.
Boom…
The heavy iron gate, which weighed more than several thousand kilograms, fell directly and hit the ground heavily. The corpses on the ground were smashed into meat paste, and a large amount of smoke and dust was raised.
After seeing this scene, Li Cunxiao was completely stunned. What on earth did he see? The city gate of Hangu Pass was completely removed.
How can you still play like this? It simply refreshes your outlook!
After a brief shock, Li Cunxiao's eyes were filled with anger.
The entire city gate of Hangu Pass was removed. The Tang army entered and left whenever they wanted. Hangu Pass was destined to be undefendable, and the person who caused this was Li Cunxiao.
Had he not been arrogant and went out of the city to fight without authorization, Li Yuanba and Yang Jian would not have come in, and the city gate of Hangu Pass would not have collapsed, so he was the culprit of the city gate collapse.
Li Cunxiao would rather die in battle than fall at Hangu Pass. Once Hangu Pass falls, the entire Sizhou will face the threat of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Cunxiao almost collapsed when he thought that such a big mistake was caused by himself. He roared with red eyes: "What on earth did you do?"
Li Yuanba took the other golden hammer that Yang Jian handed him, chuckled and said, "Tear down the door."
“You...I’ll kill you.”
Li Cunxiao picked up King Yu's book and prepared to fight Li Yuanba and Yang Jian desperately. At this moment, he hated these two people to death, and even had the intention of dying with them.
Li Yuanba still wanted to continue fighting, but Yang Jian didn't want to continue fighting. He was injured and needed time to adjust his breathing, otherwise he would easily suffer from hidden diseases.
"The city gate has been destroyed and the mission has been completed. If we continue to fight, we will not be able to defeat Li Cunxiao. It is meaningless. We should go back first."
“That’s...okay.”
Before, Yang Jian and Li Yuanba chased and fought Li Cunxiao, but now Li Cunxiao took the initiative to come to the door, and Yang Jian and Li Yuanba ran away instead. After Li Cunxiao chased to the city gate, he stopped chasing. He could not leave Hangu Pass. Once he left, Hangu Pass would only fall faster.
Looking at the city gate that fell to the ground, Li Cunxiao wanted to cry but had no tears.
It’s not that Li Cunxiao couldn’t lift the large iron gate weighing over a thousand kilograms, but the mechanical valve that fixed the gate had been damaged. Even if he lifted it up, it would still fall.
"So what if the city gate falls down? I, Li Cunxiao, am the city gate of Hangu Pass."
After Li Cunxiao roared loudly, he stood at the Hangu Pass gate with his sword in hand, looking at the endless army outside the city. He was actually prepared to guard the gate of the city with one person and use his flesh and blood to serve as the gate of Hangu Pass.
When Li Shimin saw Li Cunxiao's attitude, he couldn't help but sighed: "Such a loyal and brave general, I wish he could not belong to me."
"My lord, give up the idea of subduing Li Cunxiao. There is absolutely no way he will join us in the Tang Dynasty." Du Ruhui said.
“I know, I’m just feeling sorry for you.”
After saying that, Li Shimin decisively gave the order: "Send the order, the catapult and the crossbow will attack. I want to see if Li Cunxiao's copper skin and iron bones can withstand the catapult."
)
Li Cunxiao was originally prepared to fight to the death, but when he saw so many flying rocks as big as a plate being thrown at him, and crossbow arrows as thick as a gun barrel being shot at him, his expression suddenly changed.
Li Cunxiao's external skills have been practiced to the point where he can't be hurt by any iron. Even the flying stones thrown by the catapult are not impossible to resist with his physical body.
But if he can withstand one or two shots, can he still withstand hundreds of shots?
Although the Grand Master is strong, he is not invincible, and he still has his own limits.
Yuan Shoucheng is the best example. After burning his internal energy, he still died from Su Dingfang's crossbow stone array, which shows that human power cannot resist the collective after all.
Li Cunxiao also has his own limits. Facing the flying rocks and javelins in the sky, even he can't resist for long.
Li Cunxiao is not stupid, and of course he will not stay where he is and serve as a target to practice the accuracy of Li Tang's catapult soldiers.
Li Cunxiao had just returned to the city when Gongsun Yan came up to him and said anxiously: "General, you are back. The city gate has been destroyed. It cannot be repaired in a short time. The Tang army will not let us repair it. Hangu Pass has been guarded." If you can’t hold on any longer, let’s retreat to Yewang City.”
“No, Hangu Pass is still there.”
Li Cunxiao's eyes were full of determination and he roared: "As long as I am still alive, Hangu Pass will not be lost."
Gongsun Yan was very anxious and quickly advised: "General, you must not act on your own initiative. Even if Hangu Pass is lost, our army still has the two fortified cities of Yewang and Yiyang. We can still rely on the cities to fight against Li and Tang's army."
“No, the defensive capabilities of Yewang and Yiyang cannot be compared with Hangu Pass.”
Li Cunxiao decisively refused, then grabbed Gongsun Yan's shoulders and said with a pleading look on his face: "Quickly, find a way to block the city gate. As long as the city gate can be blocked, the Tang army will not be able to enter."
Gongsun Yan originally wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw the strong-willed Li Cunxiao, who showed a low and pleading attitude, the words came to his lips but he could not say them.
“This…let me think about it.” Gongsun Yan said with a wry smile.
