Unfortunately, you are in a bad spot. You admit that you are breaking the lease. Nothing here leads me to believe that you have a valid defense. However, it is generally difficult for a landlord to collect forward rents. And, the only way he can "make" you pay is to obtain a judgment against you for damages. If your landlord actually serves you with a summons to appear in court then you should contact an attorney to defend you. Anything less than a summons is merely threats and very few landlords actually follow through on threats to obtain damages because they have to risk more money in an attempt to recover what is already lost.
Good Luck!
