"The old minister thinks that the Song army can cross the river to the south, but there are only two possibilities. One is that our navy in Caishiji area has already surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Then on the river surface, one rises and the other is growing, and the Yangtze River is no longer a natural barrier to block the other." Yan Xu's meaning is very obvious. The navy stationed in Caishiji in the southwest is the most elite. If we really surrender to the other, we will find a way to run south earlier, and Jiangning will not be able to defend it.

"What about the second reason?" Li Yu's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot. Yan Xu was not at all worried. I heard that the development of Daliuqiu Island is not bad now, and there are tens of thousands of people who have settled down. Maybe he is the king of the country. Who would be willing to be an island master? The flowers in the south of the Yangtze River are so rich that it is impossible to give up.

"Second, the other party didn't know what methods they had taken to avoid the navy. In this way, our opponent would be the only Song army outside the city, and the other party went deeper." Yan Xu felt that it was meaningless to be confused about the reason why the other party crossed the river. What we need to think about now is countermeasures.

"The lonely army goes deeper? Yan Xiang means, let's eat him in one bite? No, isn't the Song army seeking death by themselves?" You Jianyan felt that it was wrong. The Song army was able to cross the river and came through repeated simulations and deductions, and had a great chance of winning. How could it be so hasty that the lonely army came to die.

"The old minister can't figure out why. When the army goes deeper alone, can you fly in the strong city?" Yan Xu made a puzzled look, as if he really can't figure it out.

"In the view of being alone, the second reason is more likely. If it is the first, there is no need to march overnight." Although Li Yu lived in the palace and was good at poetry, he had read several military books. The risk of marching at night was extremely high, and there was no general who did this.

"No, Your Majesty, in the opinion of an old minister, the other party is probably confident of breaking the city by marching at night." Xu Xuan slapped his thigh. Since he dared to go deeper alone, he must have great plans. In this Southern Tang, there is no greater temptation than breaking Jiangning.

"The city is tall and strong, and the Song army is moving forward quickly. How can we seize the city?" Jia Bin is a good idea of ​​the battle between the two armies. This scale of siege is not enough for you to have a large number of people. Without decent siege equipment, you can't help but give you a million troops. You can't pile up corpses on the city wall.

Moreover, the food and grass that is usually carried for such lightweight and simple travel is usually not more than seven days. At this time, without the assistance of siege equipment, how can we take down Jiangning City?

"No, I'll send Liu Cheng to the commander of each gate, all the guards will be replaced." Li Yu suddenly thought of a possibility, and the cold sweat suddenly came. Since the opponent could avoid the navy, someone would definitely be an internal response. Then there were probably some internal responses in Jiangning City. If someone opened the city gate for the enemy to enter, wouldn't this city be destroyed without attacking?

Li Yu firmly believed that Liu Cheng, the Du Yu Marquis, could trust him. He was the general he promoted. The Song Dynasty could not give him more, but the generals under his command were inevitably bribed.

All the ministers looked confused. If someone really opened the city gate, where should they go.

Li Yu was regretting what he was doing during this period and let the other party set up such means. The original great prospect was actually ruined by his incompetence.

Yes, Li Yu realized his incompetence for the first time. He knew that it was the critical moment to attack Nanyue and the most relaxed defense around Jiangning, but he did not make any arrangements to strengthen the guards. Instead, he naively thought that the Song Dynasty was now in a panic and had no time to look south.

All he could do now was pray, hoping to replace all the guards of the gates before the Song army arrived. As long as he could protect the city gate, he would be confident that he would be able to seize the enemy outside the city.

Fei Ming, the guard of Dinghuai Gate, stood at the city wall with a group of confidants, and his heart was beating wildly. Once the matter tonight was done, he

It will inevitably soar.

Fei Ming was just an ordinary man, but later he was attracted by Li Jicao, giving money and placing relationships with him, and finally climbed up step by step. In Fei Ming's heart, Li Jicao was his mentor, and he was happy no matter what he asked him to do.

His family, Li Jicao, arranged to go to Jizhou, and lived in a house covering an area of ​​several acres, with thousands of acres of fertile land around him, which were his family's property.

Li Jicao had invested a lot at the beginning, scattered in various parts of the army. Now Fei Ming has occupied important places, so he naturally has the treatment of extraordinary people. Even Li Jicao's villa, he has the honor to enjoy it.

Following Fei Ming was his personal soldiers, with a total of fifty soldiers. Each of them received more than three times the military pay that ordinary soldiers had. He obeyed his words, which was his greatest reliance.

Under the city, a large number of young and strong people were transporting supplies to the city gate. Previously, General Liu Cheng had heard from the general, and all the gates were blocked. Fei Ming looked forward at the top of the city. If he did not appear again, he would not be able to delay it.

"General, this material has come a lot, it's time to start." Si Huai, the captain under the city, shouted to the top of the city.

"No hurry, you can transport a batch to the city first, and you need to use it even if you defend the city." Fei Ming took a deep breath and delayed for a while.

Si Huai felt a little strange, but it was difficult to argue with Shangfeng about this trivial matter. He had to wave his hand and continue to take his brothers and Qingzhuang to transport them back.

Standing at the front of the city and looking into the distance, three bonfires suddenly lit in the dark and empty space in the distance, forming a font shape, which was extremely obvious in the night.

"Send a signal!" Fei Ming knew at a glance that it was the meaning of the Song army being ready to attack. I guess there were a large number of elite troops hidden in the dark behind the bonfire.

The personal soldiers held up a torch and waved three circles in the air to respond.

After a while, the three bonfires in the shape of a font suddenly went out at the same time, which meant that the attack was about to begin.

"Old Qi, Lao Wu, you two go with me." Fei Ming said to the two captains on the top of the city.

This matter is very confidential. Fei Ming dared not tell anyone, nor did he dare to put his hopes on others. All he could trust was himself and the fifty personal soldiers behind him.

Lao Qi and Lao Wu didn't know what to do when they went down the city, so they only brought two personal soldiers to follow Fei Ming as usual.

"You can go to the city to help, I have something to say to the two lieutenants." Fei Ming waved his hand and sent away the soldiers garrisoned by the city gate.

After a while, under the city gate, only Fei Ming, Lao Qi and Lao Wu, as well as their personal soldiers were left.

"The general told me to wait, what's wrong?" Lao Qi felt a little strange. What's the secret? He actually sent everyone else away.

"Two, please follow me. I found a loophole in this city gate." Fei Ming grabbed a torch from the side and walked into the city gate. The two captains, Lao Qi and Lao Wu, naturally followed. But what he thought was that there was something wrong and he realized it was not a good thing.

"Please look, two of you!" Fei Ming raised the torch and leaned towards the city gate.

"Puchi!"

Lao Wu and Lao Qi looked at each other, then looked at the blade protruding on their chests, and then understood Fei Ming's words.

"Why?" Old Wu didn't understand. He couldn't figure it out. Unfortunately, his voice was blocked by the big hand covering his mouth and it couldn't be reached.

Fei Ming did not answer, and the long sword that pierced the two of them was pulled back by his personal soldiers, and blood flowed from the wound.

"He is a traitor." Lao Qi and Lao Wu fell together. No wonder Fei Ming had been blocking the city gate before. Unfortunately, he was powerless to prevent all this from happening.

With

The four personal soldiers who came with them also ended up the same fate.

"No, there is an enemy situation." At this moment, the city began to stir up, and a large number of cavalrymen rushed towards the city gate, and the sound of horse hooves spread far away in the dark.

"Open the city gate!" Fei Ming took a deep breath, success or failure was here. No, he could only succeed, not fail.

The movement of opening the city gate was very loud and there was no way to cover it up. As soon as the action began, the soldiers on the top of the city were discovered.

The defenders at the city wall began to lead people down the city. Even if there was no organization of the lieutenant, they would stop all this, not for others, even for themselves.

Once the city gates are opened, most of them will die, and they may be themselves.

The narrow city gate was blocked by dozens of personal soldiers with armor, and they would not be able to attack in a short while. The city gate slowly opened, and the cavalry outside were speeding up with flying arrows at the top of the city.

Si Huai was walking towards the city gate with his people when he suddenly heard the movement ahead. He knew something was wrong and hurriedly called on the brothers to put down what they were doing and accelerated to the city gate.

"Brothers, follow me!" Si Huai was shocked. The city gate was actually open, and through the city gate, you could see that the enemy's cavalry was about to rush in.

In the darkness, Si Huai ran with a long sword. He was racing against time. If he could block the other party and close the city gate, everything would be possible.

In this city, there are people he loves and others, and he wants to protect all this.

For the first time, Si Huai felt that he could run so fast. He saw Fei Ming at the city gate, who was leading his personal soldiers to form a steel wall to block the defenders in the city.

Si Huai only looked at the situation and knew that it was Fei Ming's city gate opened and he was a traitor. In the past, he had a good relationship with Fei Ming. Fei Ming was generous and often invited everyone to eat and drink, but he didn't expect that he would have a ill-intention.

What Si Huai is thinking about is to kill Fei Ming. Only by killing him can he get close to the city gate.

He squeezed forward with great effort. The current crowded city gates not only failed to repel Fei Ming and others, but instead blocked Si Huai's pace. Si Huai grabbed the spear in the hands of the soldiers beside him, took two steps back, rushed forward, and threw the spear in his hand forward.

Fei Ming, who was slashing, dodged in panic and stabbed his spear on the personal soldiers behind him. When he looked up, he saw that the person who threw was Si Huai, and he felt a little relieved.

Si Huai was the most capable of fighting among the lieutenants under his command. Fei Ming was not sure of attacking and killing this person, so he deliberately sent him away. Unexpectedly, he rushed over.

"Fei Ming, you shameless villain, come and take your life!" Si Huai shouted loudly, knocked away the crowd in front of him, and slashed at Fei Ming with a long sword in his hand.

Fei Ming was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back. The personal soldiers beside him immediately rushed up and stabbed Si Huai with a long sword.

What a Si Huai, he turned around and flashed through the long sword stabbed by the other party. At the same time, using the strength of the waist, the speed of the long sword in his hand was maximized.

Under such an attack, the armor seemed so fragile in defense. A big head flew up and blood gushed.

Si Huai kicked the headless corpse away and continued to kill forward. His target was Fei Ming. As long as Fei Ming was killed, the rest would be defeated without attacking him.

Fei Ming was not an incompetent person to be able to catch Li Jicao's eyes. He was also a good person in the early years. In the past two years, he was inevitably a little relaxed. He had already spent most of his energy in the battle just now, and he was naturally afraid of Si Huai.

Facing the long sword that was slashing and slashing, Fei Ming directly waved the knife to hold it. The two of them stared at each other like bullfighting. Then, they waved the knife sideways and then slashed again.
