Si Huai's appearance and his life-saving fight greatly inspired the surrounding soldiers and pushed Fei Ming and his soldiers outside the city gate.

The sound of horse hooves outside the city gate became more and more rapid and clear. Si Huai felt anxious and began to panic with his moves.

Fei Ming felt relaxed instead, found a flaw, and slashed Si Huai's left arm shoulder, directly breaking through the armor and flesh.

Si Huai, who was already impatient, had a ruthless look in his eyes. He grabbed the long knife with his right hand. Fei Ming, who was about to draw the knife, froze in place. He resisted the pain with his left hand and used all his strength to thrust the knife forward.

The pain caused by his left arm made his forehead drip with sweat, but he still used every ounce of strength, even if it resulted in the loss of his left arm.

"Poof!"

Fei Ming found it unbelievable that Si Huai succeeded just a moment after he was a little slow.

"Ah!" Fei Ming was angry. He was about to succeed, about to step into the circle of powerful people, but he was about to lose his life here.

Ignoring the long knife in his belly, he used both hands to pull the knife back. The long knife twitched quickly and cut off Si Huai's fingers.

Fei Ming didn't care about these things. He only had one thought: to kill this person. It was him who ruined the beauty that was about to come to him.

Si Huai stirred the long knife hard with his left hand and wanted to pull it out, but Fei Ming took a step forward, wrapped his left hand around his neck, and stabbed the long knife in with his right hand.

The two of them pulled out their respective long knives almost at the same time, then stopped using any force and threw the long knives directly to the ground and fell to the ground. They both knew very well that each other had no way to survive.

"Why?" Si Huai asked with all his last strength. He couldn't figure out why Fei Ming did this and what exactly Song Dynasty gave him.

"Sir, you die for your confidant. Without him, how could I be where I am today." Fei Ming remembers that at the beginning, he was just an ordinary boy and was so inconspicuous, but he was favored by Li Jicao, the prince of Jiang Wang, and supported him all the way to become BBK.

Possibility of rising.

"Haha, you ungrateful man, can you be worthy of the people in this city and all the people in the world?" Si Huai felt that Fei Ming was obviously being taken advantage of, but he was still willing to do so. He was really stupid.

"What does this have to do with me? It's you who lost your life for something irrelevant. Do you regret it?" He Fei Ming never cared about these things. All he cared about was himself and his family.

"I, Si Huai, was born and raised here. I love this land and everything on this land. For these, I will die without regrets." Si Huai sniffed lightly. It was the smell of this land. He smelled it.

After more than twenty years, I'm afraid I won't be able to smell it anymore.

He tried his best to look up and saw that the city gate was still not closed. The enemy's iron hooves had already arrived. Si Huai secretly said, "I tried my best."

The originally chaotic city gate, when the cavalry entered, Fei Ming's soldiers squatted directly against the wall to avoid being accidentally killed. A cavalry spear thrust forward, relying on the speed of the horse's sprint, easily pierced the soldier's armor.

.

When the beacon smoke was lit at the top of Dinghuai Gate, Liu Cheng knew something was wrong and rushed here with his men, but he was a step too late after all. When he arrived, the top of the city had already changed hands, and a large number of heavy armored infantry were there.

People are entering continuously from the city gate.

"Soldiers, follow me and kill!" Liu Cheng shouted violently and led his men to charge towards the Song army.

Li Yu stood on the palace wall and could see the smoke and fighting at Dinghuai Gate in the distance, but his heart felt as if a basin of cold water was being poured from his head to the soles of his feet.

At the moment, all he can count on is the 20,000 defenders in the city. If they defend the city, no matter how elite the Song army is, they can still sustain it for a while, but if the city gate is lost, there is no chance of victory.

Behind Li Yu, all the important officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty looked uneasy. Where should they go?

This fighting lasted for more than two hours, and the large-scale battle did not end until the sun rose. Cao Bin stood at the top of Dinghuaimen City. Everywhere he looked were soldiers who died in the battle. There were many soldiers.

From the Song Dynasty, there are also those from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Dark red blood flowed into the Qinhuai River along the stone slabs on the road, and the originally clear water turned into a strange crimson color.

Zhao Guangyi and Li Congshan were the last ones to enter the city. When the carriage stopped in the city, Zhao Guangyi got off first. At this point, the trip was basically complete.

"King Han, it's time to get out of the car. Let's go to the top of the city and take a look at the prosperity of Jinling." After the Southern Tang Dynasty established its capital in Jiangning, it expanded and repaired the city on a large scale, and Jiangning City gained another name, Jinling.

When Li Congshan came out of the carriage, corpses and blood were everywhere, and there was no place to stay. Zhao Guangyi invited him, but he had no choice but to step on it.

The sticky feeling coming from the ground made him want to vomit.

The stone steps leading to the top of the city were all dark red. The Song army had already begun to clean up the corpses on the ground. They took off their armor and threw it off the city wall. They piled up hills in the open space inside the city.

"The general has met Mr. Fu Yin and King Han!" Cao Bin seemed to be a demon coming out of hell, his whole body covered in scarlet and holding a head in his hand.

Cao Bin, who used to be indifferent to Zhao Guangyi, now feels that Zhao Guangyi is so kind. He owes all his great achievements in conquering the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty to him.

"General Cao, what are you doing with this?" Although Zhao Guangyi has been killed many times, he still feels discordant with this kind of behavior of carrying people's heads.

"This is the man who caused great damage to our army. The general led his men in person and spent a lot of effort and loss to capture him. Does the King of Han know this man?" Cao Cao

Bin raised his head in his hand like a show off. Although he still didn't know the identity of this person, judging from the previous situation, he was definitely a senior general of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"It's Du Yuhou Liu Cheng." Li Congshan's heart skipped a beat. This man was one of the most senior generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Of course he knew him. Even this man fell into the hands of Cao Bin. Li Congshan was afraid of the Song army's combat power.

.

"Seriously? Come here, prepare it carefully and send it to Kaifeng to the officials." Cao Bin was happy. This is a great achievement. It must not rot.

The soldiers under his command hurriedly came to take the head and went down to deal with it.

"General Cao, this man is also a loyal man. He should not end up like this. He must leave his body intact." Zhao Guangyi felt that Cao Bin was too rude. Although he could fight, he was not as good at being a person as Pan Mei.

"Lord Fu Yin, the last general fought hard to win this..." Cao Bin refused. He pointed at the thing here to show it off and let the old guys in the court see it.

Let him move up.

"Ahem, then he will be restrained together with his body and sent to Kaifeng." Zhao Guangyi really has nothing to do with him. If Cao Bin goes further, he will be on an equal footing with a battlefield veteran like Murong Yanzhao. It is he who should vigorously

The person you're trying to win over shouldn't offend him over such a trivial matter.

"Just follow Mr. Fu Yin." Cao Bin thought that it would be a little more troublesome to get a coffin.

Li Congshan, who remained silent, looked a little better. These people who died in the battle were all loyal members of the Tang Dynasty. How should he face them?

"General Cao, when will the war end?" Zhao Guangyi needs more than just grabbing a vote and leaving. He wants to change the Southern Tang Dynasty, and this will take time.

According to the battle plan, the entire Jiangning City was to be occupied and all city gates blocked. Only when Li Congshan ascended to the throne of the country and calmed down the war with Yue would he return to the Song Dynasty with Li Yu and the army.

"According to reports from the front, all the city gates can be captured in half an hour. There are still some small-scale enemy forces in the city who are stubbornly resisting. It will take time to clear them out." Cao Bin said with a smile on his face.

The battle was well fought.

"Is the palace surrounded? The warehouse must be captured." These two are more important than the city gates. If Li Yu escapes, Jiangning City will instantly turn into a cage, trapping them to death.

They never brought food

If you want to defend the city and control the Southern Tang Dynasty, the warehouse is the top priority.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fu Yin, these two places are already under control." Cao Bin certainly knows the importance. He has sent absolute elite confidantes to both places.

In the second half of last night, Li Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to the imperial study room to relax for a while. This important minister spent the night in the waiting room under the city.

Yan Xu and You Jianyan, who had never been on the same page, rarely sat at the same table.

"Everyone, what do you think?" Yan Xu took a sip of porridge, which was sent from the imperial kitchen. Everyone who had been hungry all night drank from the bowls.

There were also exquisite pastries brought together, and everyone was not polite, and they were all arrogant. Who knows when the next meal will be.

"What does Prime Minister Yan mean that we can't hold on anymore?" Xu Xuan was shocked. Although he was not optimistic about it, he still found it difficult to accept that it had actually come to this point.

"The city gate was lost and the barrier of the city wall was lost. How could the imperial army of the Song Dynasty be easy to fight? The Battle of Jiangbei has not passed for many years. As for the palace, although the palace wall is high, it is too small, and the food reserves are also limited.

Not many, with so many people trapped inside, they will be trapped for ten days and a half, and they will be destroyed without a fight." Yan Xu grabbed a bun, not knowing what would happen next, so he wanted to eat more while there was still some left.

"Senior Prime Minister Yan must be careful. We are united and we just need to hold on until King Qin's army arrives." You Jianyan took a deep breath. He didn't want to argue, but he was unwilling to face such an outcome.

And he is different from Yan Xu. The Yan family is a big family. Yan Xu has been Prime Minister for many years. His disciples are all over the place. No matter who occupies this land, they will have something useful. But he is different from You Jianyan. He comes from a poor family.

Even in the battle of heaven and earth, as well as the character of this scholar, if he has to compromise, how will he stand up in the future?

"The Song army arrived too quickly. There are still a large number of baggage equipment in the warehouse. I am afraid that it will have fallen into the hands of the Song army..." Jia Bin, the Minister of War, was worried. Did he know how much baggage was in the warehouse? The Song army only needed to move it.

If it is used, the palace cannot be defended at all.

"It should be a fire." Kong Ju, the Minister of Rites, was praying. If he could burn all the food, grass and baggage, he might be able to hold on until the Song army retreated.

"Impossible, in order to ensure the safety of the supplies, strict fire measures were taken. The Song army came too fast and had no time to burn it down." Jia Bin said angrily. This is not the kind of place where supplies are temporarily hoarded. This is Jiangning's strategic reserve.

How could it be possible that just throwing a torch could burn everything down?

"Everyone, let's drink this cup together. I hope that after this battle, we can continue to sit and drink with each other." Yan Xu raised his teacup and replaced the wine with tea. Everyone looked at each other and raised their glasses.

Yan Xu is the most confident among them all. He knows that behind this matter, there must be Li Jicao's methods, and Xiao Yi must also be involved. In many things before, especially the matter of driving the eldest prince out of the palace,

They cooperated with each other tacitly, and Yan Xu also made achievements.

At three o'clock in the morning, the entire Jiangning City was basically pacified, all city gates were under control, and the Song Army shifted from attack to defense.

Li Congshan and Zhao Guangyi sat on the carriage and headed towards the palace. From time to time, they heard scoldings from the soldiers of the Song Army. They were the young men and prisoners who were pulled over and were carrying supplies under the supervision of the Song Army.

A woman's cry came from outside the carriage. Li Congshan opened the curtains and saw everything he could see. This was war.

"Master Fu Yin, it's okay to take some property, but isn't this too much?" Li Congshan's whole heart was blocked. These are the people under his Li family's rule. The Song Army was simply slapping him in the face by doing this beastly thing.

"King Han, our Song army suffered so many casualties this time. If we don't use this to motivate the soldiers, how can we make them sacrifice their lives?" Zhao Guangyi didn't care. This is not normal. Everyone fights desperately for money and women.
