Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh heart

Not only Li Jia and Zhao Kuangyin were paying attention to the Battle of Jinling, but Meng Chang, who was far away in Bashu, was also paying close attention.

"Please pay the Buddha Bodhisattva to bless Jinling City so that Jinling City will be taken down smoothly!" Meng Chang knelt in front of the Buddha statue, lowered his head, murmured constantly, prayed, and his face kept trembling.

He couldn't help but be so scared. It was because the soldiers in the Central Plains were too powerful. In other words, the army of Shu was too weak, and it looked heartbreaking and scary.

In less than a month, starting from the four prefectures of Qin and Feng, Wang Quanbin led his army to attack and eliminate the Ganqudu and Wanren Yanzi villages, and thus captured Xingzhou. The governor of Xingzhou, Lan Siwan, retreated to Xi County.

Afterwards, Wang Quanbin defeated 7,000 Shu troops and captured more than 400,000 hu of military rations. Then he attacked more than 20 camps in Bashigu, Yuguan and Baishui.

His vanguard Shi Yande marched into Sanquan, defeated tens of thousands of Shu troops, captured prisoners, recruited Han Baozheng, and deputy envoy Li Jin, and seized more than 300,000 hu of grain.

Soon, Cui Yanjin, Kang Yanze and other generals rushed through Sanquan, so they reached Jialing, killed and captured many Shu troops.

Forced to helplessly, the Shu people blocked the road of the Pavilion and the Song army could not advance, so they temporarily suspended the unstoppable situation.

These days, the Song army has been repairing the pavilion again. It seems that it is almost connected. At that time, it will definitely have to go south again. Meng Chang is afraid that the Central Plains Imperial Army is so fast that it is terrifying.

Therefore, while strictly ordering the armies to fight seriously, he also hopes that the Tang army will win quickly and support the Shu Kingdom.

In order to show sincerity and support his battle, Meng Chang gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and sent another 100,000 stones of grain and grass.

In fact, the Wu Yue Kingdom was just like Zhao Kuangyin, and he didn't believe that just tens of thousands of troops could conquer Jinling City. Even a surprise attack was difficult, let alone such a strong battle.

Therefore, they were unmoved to Li Yu's request for help and sat down to see how things went.

If Jiangnan has 200,000 troops, will he be defeated by these just tens of thousands of people?

If Li Yu and the officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty knew their thoughts, they would definitely spit out their faces: Who placed an army of 200,000 in the capital?

When the land of Huainan was not lost, there were 100,000 troops there as a gate to resist. Now, not only did there be no army, but also the place was also lost. In recent years, the Southern Tang Dynasty was in a time when it was in a state of disagreement.

It would be hard to say if it was a few years later. Jiangnan and Jiangxi were rich and had strong blood recovery ability. When the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the country had 300,000 troops and about 3 million troops, which was almost 10 to 10 to 1.

Now, there are only 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in Jinling City. It can be said that it is the time when the troops are the weakest, second only to the scene when Guo Rong heads south.

On July 20th, Li Xin personally commanded and mobilized almost all the troops and horses to cross the Qinhuai River in a mighty manner.

As for the navy in Jiangnan, they had been scared to run away long ago, and the remaining few ships were not qualified to die.

The empty water village has clearly expressed the meaning of the navy, and has no intention of stopping it.

Because there are several shallow waters in the Qinhuai River, the Tang army's warships could not enter, and the soldiers were transported by small boats and temporary civilian ships. They crossed this important place safely and did not dare to attack half a ferry.

Seeing the unstoppable situation, Li Xin was disappointed. He never expected that the puppet army had no one with such courage. It was so disappointing.

"Run!" "Kill—"...

After crossing the river, the Tang soldiers were quite excited and aggressive. The shouts resounded throughout the sky. A large number of soldiers spread forward. After counting, the scene was extremely spectacular. They were about to touch the city wall.

Li Yu and his government officials were almost powerless to cross the river in the south of the city. Watching the army pass by safely, and relying on the remaining navy to stop it, it became empty talk.

On the contrary, the weak navy camp was burned by it, which added a bit of despair to Jinling City.

At this time, Jinling City finally became an empty city.

The people were panic and their morale was low. The military camps that were originally stationed outside the city were ready to be the supporter were also empty at this time. The army was afraid of fighting and could only withdraw to the city and increase its strength to defend the city.

Of course, the court did not want to lose this power in vain. After all, it is rumored that this army is also very powerful in fighting.

At this time, Jinling City really turned into an isolated city. The land outside the city wall was lost and all was controlled by the enemy.

The only hope may be the reinforcements from Jiangxi and the army of ten thousand people from Zhenjiang.

Then Li Yu and a group of senior officials climbed the city tower again and looked at the cannons that had been moved across the river, and were instantly surprised. Could this be the object that broke through the Yuhua Taiwan military camp yesterday? It made a sound of thunder.

Ships after ships shuttled back and forth, and seeing this scene, they shivered all over.

With so many black tubes, doesn’t it mean that the pressure in Jinling City is at least several times that of Yuhuatai?

Even though Li Yu had never fought a war, he knew that the current Jinling City could be at risk of breaking the city at any time.

The danger is not in the soldiers, but in the black hole, its heavy black bucket.

It is mounted on four-wheelers and slowly pushed, which shows its terrible weight.

When Li Yu truly faced such dangerous objects, he felt the bone-broken coldness, his hair stood upright, and the scene of the city breaking and his family suddenly appeared in his mind.

How can he be content with this?

It is really disgusting to borrow the power of objects and the capital of the next country.

"Your Majesty, retreat quickly. Such artifacts are really dangerous on the city tower!" The general guarding the city immediately advised.

Li Yu was also afraid of death, and the court officials were even more so. After seeing this for a long time, the sun was so uncomfortable that it should have come down.

The group slowly came down from the city tower. As soon as they stepped on the ground with their feet, they heard a loud "boom".

"Bang! Bang..." Then, a huge iron ball flew from the air and smashed on the city wall, and a hole appeared.

Although it was not big, Li Yu and his group were under the city, and their 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.

"Bangbang--" Then, a huge round of balls came, some made of pottery, some were iron balls, and some were round stones. Dozens of them came together, causing the entire Jinling City to shake.

There were only a few pits on the surface of the city wall, but most of the ball came to the top of the city, destroying dozens of houses, and crying endlessly.

Li Yu looked at the tragic phenomena in front of him and couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body and couldn't move.

Then he looked up at the ramp of the city. Some law enforcement soldiers were holding weapons and shouting and forcing soldiers to go up to the city. The defenders were in chaos and had no intention of fighting.
