During the war in the south of the city, Li Yu and the court officials almost lost control of the situation. The only thing they could do was to make a decision to refuse to surrender and fight the Zhou army.
As for the specific deployment of the war, it was very chaotic due to the various disadvantages of the lonely city being surrounded, with low morale and panic.
The defense of the water camp guarding the river was very chaotic and sloppy. It was easily burned by the Zhou army at first, and then the originally elite imperial guards were about to collapse at a touch and could not rescue each other.
The Southern Tang army had more than 100,000 people, and they were defeated in one day.At this time, Jiangning City turned into a lonely city. The land outside the city wall was completely lost and was controlled by the enemy.
The next day, when Li Yu climbed the gatehouse of the imperial city, he heard the sound of the stones hitting the city walls, and the yelling of people coming from afar.
The Zhou army in the south of the city began to take the lead in siege, and enemy troops from other directions would also begin to siege this city... The foundation of the decades of foundation established by the ancestors of the Li family is.
Even though Li Yu had never fought a war, he knew that Jiangning City could not be kept for too long and could be broken at any time.
The ancients said that the country lies in virtue but not in danger; no matter how strong the fortifications are, how can people’s morale be kept?
He suddenly felt that the pressure was getting less, and it felt very strange.
In the past, when the Zhou army was in a hurry, he was worried all day long; but now he felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief, but the ending was right in front of him, and he was completely helpless.
Li Yu returned to the hall where he went to court, thought for a long time, and then asked someone to prepare firewood and hot turbulent oil to move it to the hall.I wanted to burn myself after the city was broken, and I would have finished it.
This action alarmed his biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhong, and led the palace servants to the hall to cry and persuaded Li Yu to save his life.Li Yu just said: If the country is destroyed, it is worthy of the people. There is only one way to go.
Empress Dowager Zhong cried and choked and said: My son is a kind and kind person. He has no mistakes, but the mistake is that he shouldn't have let you be the emperor.You are not the emperor!
After all, Li Yu was born by Empress Dowager Zhong. Empress Dowager Zhong knew his personality and talked about the painful situation when the fire burned and the tragic situation after his death.Sure enough, Li Yu looked scared.
But after thinking about it, he still had no idea of self-immolation.
At this moment, Li Yu's eyes were inadvertently attracted by the little girl behind Empress Dowager Zhong, who was Zhou Jiamin, the younger sister of Zhou Ehuang of the country.
The little lady is only nine years old, but she is beautiful and lovely, and she is even more delicate and beautiful. After all, Ehuang has been the queen and has a dignified temperament and face. However, these two girls are naturally charming and have a charm at a young age.
Li Yu couldn't help but think: That damn Blacksmith Guo caught Zhou Ermei, can she let her go?
My mother no longer needs to persuade her, so she will leave Jiamin in this hall to accompany me.Li Yu spoke.
Although the young lady was less than ten years old, she was smart and understood the meaning at once. No... Zhou Jiamin lost her beauty and turned around and was about to run away, but immediately a eunuch grabbed her petite body.
Li Yu sighed and said kindly: I am also for your own good.
……
The people in the palace went to the military camp to get the hot turbulent oil used to defend the city. When the general Ji Yan found out, he asked about the use. The eunuch replied that the matters that His Majesty ordered to be moved to the main hall.
After hearing this, Ji Yan and his generals Ma Chengxin and others knelt down in the direction of the imperial city, and their sorrow came from the sanity.
Ji Yan was ashamed: We are grateful to the emperor for his salary, but now we cannot defend the emperor. We will sit down and see the country be ruined, and we will be depressed and live without any face!
After hearing this, the soldiers around him lowered their heads and felt sad.
On the ramp of the city, some law enforcement officers were holding weapons and shouting and forcing soldiers to go to the city. The defenders were in chaos and had no intention of fighting.
You can know in your heart that the city cannot be defended, and soldiers cannot fight by threats and forcing.
Bang!Bang... Another big rock flew from the air and kept hitting the city wall.
Liu Yan was in the military camp under the city, and his feelings were even stronger at this moment. The bricks and stones on the female wall splashed, and the whole city seemed to be being shaken.
Everyone... Liu Yan stood up and said with his head high. Since ancient times, there has been no country that has not perished, and surrendering is just a humiliation.Your Majesty also wants to die for the country, who is willing to fight to the death with me to serve the country?
Ma Chengxin and other generals agreed and were willing to fight to the death with Ji Yan.
Ji Yan said again: The city cannot be defended anymore. Let’s deploy our own troops in the city and wait for the enemy to enter the city and fight with it.
... Within a few days, various departments of the Zhou army and the Wu Yue army surrounded the three sides of the ants.
The south city wall was the first to be climbed to the wall by the Zhou army. Soon, the south city gate was opened from the inside. The Zhou army was waiting for the infantry and cavalry to swarm in, and the army rushed into the city like a flood.
Ji Yan led his army to set up formations on the street outside the main gate of the imperial city, and ordered Ma Chengxin to set up a square formation on the front of the street to resist the Zhou army's edge, and led his troops to ambush in the flank alley.
After he planned to use a square formation to block the Zhou army's vanguard, the ambush came out from the flank and attacked on both sides.
As soon as the horse's hooves roared closer and closer.
The Zhou army's van, the vanguard of the vanguard, was just straight in from the central axis and headed straight towards the imperial city.
Ji Yan shouted to Ma Chengxin at the entrance of the alley: Good come, Brother Ma is ready!
It was expected that the Zhou army would enter the center with cavalry, and the square formation was covered with thick spearmen, with sharp spear heads facing the front.
Soon, I saw the horse soldiers coming. A group of riots were not in the army and rushed wildly in a mess.
The street here is covered with flat bricks and stones, and the sound of iron hooves stepping on the hard ground is even louder, making people's ears buzz.
The cavalry's sharp edge had no intention of stopping. Han Yan widened his eyes, holding his breath, waiting for the moment when the two armies confronted each other.
Ah, Ah... Suddenly, a large number of guns were thrown from the air, and people fell down one after another in the Southern Tang military formation.
Shaoqing, a man hit the spear directly on the spear, but the horse was not stopped and fell to the ground with neighing. The military man quickly got up with the horse falling to the ground, and the weapons in his hand were chopping randomly, and the sound of impact was endless. The ground was flat and hard, and the horse's hooves did not catch the ground. Several horses hit the spear in succession, and the heavy people and horses rushed to the square formation.
Fuck!An iron horse raised its front hooves high and then fell heavily, finally stopping its momentum.
Immediately, a nine-foot man with a taller and stronger figure than everyone else.
At this time, the general Ma Chengxin of the square formation was shouting: Fight to death and never retreat!The nine-foot man suddenly threw an iron spear over!
Ma Chengxin was alert and raised the shield, bang!With a loud bang, the iron spear actually pierced the shield and pierced hard into Ma Chengxin's chest wearing two layers of heavy armor!
Brother Ma was killed like this?All this happened in an instant. Ji Yan was stunned for a while, then gritted his teeth and raised his sword and shouted: Kill!He ran out with his sword in both hands.
The Zhou army was as brave as crazy, not afraid of spears or death. The iron cavalry rushed into the ranks of the phalanx that trampled on the Southern Tang army. After a while, the square formation scattered and the soldiers scattered.
Ji Yan led the crowd to rush forward and fought desperately, but was slaughtered by the cavalry.
Even a knight who is dismissed is extremely difficult to kill. It is impossible to break the armor without any force, and it is even more difficult to break the armor after being cut.
Ji Yan saw two soldiers pressing a downed knight, knocking on his head with a stone.
The troops of Ji Yan suffered heavy losses and retreated in battle and retreated again. The place was narrow and it was difficult for the cavalry to advance. The two cavalrymen came in without any chance and were also attacked and pulled down.
The nine-foot man got off the horse and called his subordinates to get off the horse and gathered together.
Just then, Ji Yan heard a sound of killing behind him. When he turned around, a group of elite Zhou army infantry came over on the other side of the alley.When the first fierce man danced with a big axe, he cut the Southern Tang army into tears and howling.
Someone shouted: Surrender can avoid death!
Ji Yan shouted: I will serve the country with death, today!
Then he turned around to face the person who carried the axe, but there were too many people and he didn't squeeze in for a while.
The Zhou army dismounted the horse and the cavalry on the street also came over. The group of people did not line up in battle and rushed up in chaos and fought.
Bang!The soldier behind Ji Yan was suddenly knocked over. Ji Yan was knocked to the ground in a daze. He quickly turned over and wanted to get up when he saw a fierce man stabbing from above with a spear.
He hurriedly reached out to grab the spear, but it was too late, and his grip could not stop the momentum of stabbing. Ji Yan felt a chill on his chest... He widened his eyes, feeling his strength being pulled away from his body, and the chills came, and he was still watching the people around him stab each other desperately.
As for the specific deployment of the war, it was very chaotic due to the various disadvantages of the lonely city being surrounded, with low morale and panic.

He widened his eyes, feeling his strength being pulled away from his body, and the chills came, and he was still watching the people around him stab each other desperately.
