Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 182 Breakthrough
The reason why the city tower is important is not only that it is the first barrier for Dajian Furnace, which can resist external attacks.

More importantly, the terrain here is extremely high, which can effectively radiate to the defense of the Urn City at the city gate.

Once the highest point of the city tower is grasped, the enemy's defense at the gate of the city will be destroyed without attack.

Now the gate of the city is about to be knocked open, and a large number of Shu troops are about to attack from the gate of the city.

But the Tubo people will definitely lay an ambush in the urn city to prevent the Shu army from entering the city.

And grasping the high point of the city tower, the Wengcheng will be exposed to his own eyes. At that time, the Tubo people can only give up the defense of the Wengcheng and retreat to the inner city gate.

In this way, the enemy and we can only face each other head-on, and the defender's advantage will be lost.

Li Ke was standing at the entrance of the tower, blocking the Tubo soldiers who came to seize the tower.

As long as he can block the entrance, relying on the continuous climbing of the Shu army, he will be able to completely take down the tower.

It is impossible for one person to fight against one city, but Li Ke wants to try.

He stood horizontally at the entrance of the stone ladder, each with a halberd.

At this time, the east wind suddenly picked up, and the red robe behind him fluttered with the wind.

There are tens of thousands of Tibetans below, scrambling to come up.

They could already see that at the entrance of the stone staircase, there was a man holding a long halberd looking towards them.

There was still fire on the high wall, and the flames swallowed flames into the city with the strong wind.

And Li Ke turned his back to the fire, standing proudly, as if he was a living Yama who came out of the flames of hell, shining with a frightening and sinister aura.

The Tubo people were stunned for a moment, and fear was born in their hearts, and they did not dare to face this hell Yama.

"Charge forward and take back the highest point! Quick!"

Yetuo's loud cry sounded in the ears of the Tubo people, and the crowd woke up. They put their spears firmly in place and rushed forward desperately.

Thousands of Tubo soldiers, can't they be as good as you alone?
Yetuo kept waving the steel knife in his hand and drove the soldiers forward.

He had already seen Li Ke at this time, saw him walk out of the raging fire, and then stood resolutely at the entrance of the tower.

Yetuo could already guess Li Ke's intention. He wanted to prevent the Tibetan defenders from going up the tower.

"Quick, shoot an arrow at that man!"

Raising his hand and pointing angrily at Li Ke, he also gestured loudly to the archer behind him.

The archer quickly drew his bow and set an arrow, aiming at Li Ke.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Countless sharp arrows concentrated towards that point, but Li Ke still stood still.

Ye Tuo was extremely excited, killing Li Ke, the Shu army must be demoralized!
No matter how powerful you are, Li Ke, how can you resist my tens of thousands of archers firing at you?
He stared at Li Ke closely, expecting to see the scene where he was pierced by thousands of arrows.

The flying arrow was close to Li Ke, and his heart was trembling. He couldn't help but tighten the steel knife in his hand.

"When, when, when!"

Just when he was full of expectations, he saw Li Ke suddenly raised his hand, circled Fang Tian's painted halberd into the air, and then swung it at high speed to block it.

Fang Tian's painted halberd was swung at high speed in his hand, and it instantly turned into an airtight shield, blocking all the sharp arrows flying towards him.

Yetuo was suddenly surprised, how could this Li Ke be so brave?
Such dense flying arrows can't hurt him at all!
"Quick! Go up and kill him!"

He could only urge his soldiers with a steel knife, urging them to go forward, and swallowed Li Ke with the crowd tactics.

The flow of people rolled up, the armor and weapons gleamed coldly, and rushed towards Li Ke who was red from the flames.

This is the impact of ice and fire, and I believe it, no matter how fierce your fire is, you can't match the cold blade in the hands of thousands of Tubo soldiers!

On the tower, Li Ke had just blocked the flying arrows, and was about to throw himself into hand-to-hand combat immediately, because the Tubo people had already charged.

He stepped forward with one step, swiped the horizontal halberd, and swept down the first two Tibetans who were approaching.

The two Tubo men were swept away and fell straight down under the tower which was nearly ten feet below, and were pierced through by the spears that the soldiers below could not dodge.

Li Ke had no time to see the enemy's death and continued to move forward with his halberd.

The extremely high martial power endowed to him by Lu Bu's martial soul is precisely at this time to show its might.

The stairs are narrow, and only three or five people can approach at a time, which gives Li Ke great convenience.

He swung his halberd constantly, slashing and killing the enemies who approached him.

And once these people are swept away, they will fall behind and block the road behind them.

Many Tubo people have already been knocked down by their own people who retreated from the front.

For a while, hundreds of Tubo people were blocked at the entrance of the stone ladder by Li Ke alone.

"Quick! Rush up! Don't give him a rest, let him die!"

Yetuo was still shouting, and he was baring his teeth and staring, extremely violent.

For the Tubo people, if they don't take the city tower, all the defenses they have deployed will be invisible.

At that time, the outer city gate will definitely be breached.But the Tubo people had no choice but to retreat to the inner city gate to resist.

The rolling flow of people kept coming forward, constantly consuming Li Ke.

Although he fought for so long, Li Ke was still able to handle it with ease, but the continuous assault of the Tubo people was actually testing his physical strength.

Li Ke could already feel himself slightly out of breath.

The biggest problem in plateau combat is the thin air and insufficient oxygen content. In such a place, if you fight fiercely, you will be exhausted within a while.

But Li Ke couldn't stop, he had to persevere until his own people completely occupied the city wall.

He took the time to look behind him, there were more and more Shu troops on the high wall, and the opponent's people had been driven to a corner of the tower, and they were guarding the tower.

Seeing that his own people are about to completely occupy the tall building.

Li Ke was overjoyed, summoned up all his energy, and went forward to kill again.

"Your Highness, I'm here to help you!"

After fighting for a while, soldiers of the Shu army came to help.

With help, it will be much easier to hold the tower.

Some soldiers also used the high points of the city tower to shoot arrows downwards to drive away the enemy.

Li Ke had gradually lost his strength, he had to retreat to the back and lean against the wall to recover his strength.

Such fierce fighting made him exhausted, he felt a little out of breath, and even had slight chest tightness and tinnitus.

"Quickly, withdraw! Withdraw!"

In a trance, Li Ke seemed to hear Ye Tuo's voice below.

He held the wall and took a look. The enemy troops were retreating behind them. Further away, in the inner city, a large number of Tibetans were retreating towards the city.

Li Ke felt happy and breathed a long sigh of relief. He completely collapsed on the ground.

This battle was fought very hard, and it took a lot of effort to finally occupy the high point of the city tower.

He looked at the urn city on one side, and the defenders there had also retreated, probably because he was afraid that his own people would occupy a high point and attack them.

"Open... open the door!"

Li Ke stood up with support, and gave instructions to the soldiers.

He looked at the gate of the inner city again. There, there were still a large number of defenders who were waiting for a decisive battle with the Shu army.
