Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

During the Chengnan War, Li Yu and the court officials almost lost control of the situation. The only thing they could do was to decide not to surrender and fight Zhou Jun. (Starting)

As for the specific deployment of the war, it was very chaotic due to the various disadvantages of the siege of the isolated city, low morale, and panic. The defenses of the water villages guarding the river were very messy and sloppy, and they were easily burned by the Zhou army at first, and then the elite imperial troops collapsed and could not rescue each other.

The Southern Tang Army was over 100,000 people, and it was defeated in one day. Only then did Jiangning City really become a lonely city, and the land outside the city wall was lost and completely controlled by the enemy.

The next day, when Li Yu boarded the gate tower of the imperial city, he heard the sound of the slings hitting the city wall and the voices of people from afar. The Zhou army in the south of the city began to attack the city first, and I am afraid that enemy forces from other directions will also begin to besiege this city... the foundation of the decades-old foundation established by Li Jiazu.

Rao is that Li Yu has never fought a war, and knows that the current Jiangning City cannot be guarded for too long, and the city may break at any time. The ancients said that morality is not in danger; no matter how strong the fortifications are, how can the morale of the people be lost?

He suddenly felt that the pressure was a little less, and it felt strange. In the past, the Zhou army was under pressure, and he was still worried all the time; but now he felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief. Anyway, the ending was right in front of him, completely helpless.

Li Yu returned to the hall of the Shang Dynasty. After thinking for a long time, he asked people to prepare firewood and move to the hall. I want to set fire to myself after the city is broken.

This action alarmed his birth mother, the Queen Mother, Zhong, and sent the palace to the hall to cry bitterly, persuading Li Yu to save her life. Li Yu only said: "The country is dead in your hands, ashamed to the people, there is only this way."

Empress Dowager Zhong couldn't make a sound, and choked up: "My son is a benevolent person. There is no fault, but the fault lies in whether you should be the emperor. You are not the emperor!"

After all, Li Yu was born to the Empress Dowager Zhong. Knowing his character, the Empress Dowager Zhong talked about the painful condition of the fire and the horror after death. Sure enough, Li Yu looked terrified.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't dispel the idea of ​​self-immolation. At this moment, Li Yu's gaze was inadvertently attracted by the little girl behind Empress Zhong. She was Zhou Jiamin, the younger sister of Queen Zhou E. Xiao Niang is only nine years old, but she is beautiful, tender and beautiful than Ehuang; Ehuang has been a queen after all, and her temperament is more dignified, but these two sisters are naturally charming, and she has her own style at a young age.

Li Yu couldn't help wondering: That dog|Day’s Tiesmith Guo, who caught Tuesday’s sister, can he let her go?

"There is no need to persuade the queen again, just leave Jiamin in this hall with me." Li Yu said.

Although Xiao Niang was less than ten years old, she was clever, and she understood what she meant at once, "No..." Zhou Jiamin lost her color, turned around and was about to run, but an **** immediately grabbed her petite body. Li Yu sighed and said nicely: "I am also doing this for your own good."

...

The people in the palace went to the barracks to fetch the fierce fire oil used to defend the city. After the military commander Suoyan knew about its use, the **** replied that the things that your majesty ordered should be moved to the main hall.

Su Yan listened, and together with the general Ma Chengxin and others, they bowed and bowed in the direction of the imperial city. Su Yan was ashamed and embarrassed: "I am waiting to receive the emperor's favor, but I can't defend the emperor today. I sit and watch the country break, with a face full of mourning and no face to live!"

The soldiers all around bowed their heads, amidst sorrow.

Su Yan looked up at the ramp of the upper city. Some law enforcement officers were holding weapons and shouting to force the soldiers to go to the city. The guards were confused and unwilling to fight. From the bottom of my heart, I knew that the city could not be defended, and soldiers were not able to fight by threats.

"Kah! Kah..." Another round of big rocks flew in from the air, slamming on the wall. Su Yan was in the barracks under the city. At this moment, the feeling was even stronger. The masonry wall splashed and the whole city seemed to be shaken.

"Everyone..." Su Yan stood up and said with his head high, "Since ancient times, there has been no immortal country, and surrendering is a humiliation. Your Majesty will also be martyred. Who is willing to fight with me to serve the country?"

Ma Chengcheng and other generals agreed, willing to follow Su Yan to fight to the death.

Su Yan said again: "The city can't be defended. Let's put our soldiers in the city and wait for the enemy soldiers to enter the city and fight with them."

... Within a few days, the various ministries of the Zhou army and the Wu Yue army were besieging the three sides. The southern city wall was first climbed by Zhou Jun. Soon, the southern city gate was opened from the inside. Zhou Jun's horses waiting outside swarmed in, and the army poured into the city like a flood.

Su Yan led his army to set up an array on the street outside the main gate of the imperial city, and ordered Ma Chengcheng to deploy a square array on the front of the street to resist Zhou Jun's edge, and he led his troops to ambush in the side alley. After intending to block Zhou's forward with a square formation, the ambush sent out from the flanks and attacked on both sides.

Less tilt, the roar of horseshoes gets closer and closer. Zhou Jun's forward Ma Bing also simply went straight in from the Central Axis and headed straight towards the imperial city. Su Yan yelled to Ma Chengxin at the alley: "Good come, Brother Ma is ready!"

As the Zhou army is expected to enter the center with cavalry first, the square is lined with thick pikemen, with sharp spear heads densely facing the front. After a short while, I saw horse soldiers coming, a group of chaotic soldiers who didn't work together, rushing wildly in a mess. The street on this side was paved with flat masonry, and the sound of iron hoofs stepped on the hard ground was louder, and people’s ears buzzed loudly.

The cavalry's edge did not stop, Su Yan's eyes widened, his breath was held, and he waited for the moment when the two armies confronted.

"Ah, ah..." Suddenly a large number of guns were thrown in the air, and some people in the Southern Tang Army's phalanx fell one after another. Shao Qing, a man ran into the spear. The horse didn't stop, and he fell to the ground while neighing. The soldier fell to the ground with the horse and quickly got up. The weapon in his hand slashed, "Ding Ding 哐Cang..." The sound of the impact was endless; the ground was flat and hard, and the horses' hooves did not catch the ground. Several horses hit the spear in succession, and the heavy horses and horses slammed into the square.

"Si!" An iron horse raised its front hoofs high, and then fell heavily, finally stopping its momentum. Immediately a nine-foot man was taller and bigger than everyone else. At this time, the phalanx commander Ma Chengxin was yelling: "Do not retreat!" The nine-foot fierce man suddenly threw an iron gun over! Ma Chengxin was alert and raised the shield to block it. With a loud noise, the iron spear pierced the shield and pierced the chest of Ma Chengxin, who was wearing two layers of heavy armor!

Brother Ma was killed like this? All this happened in an instant. Su Yan was stunned for a while, then he gritted his teeth, raised his sword and shouted: "Kill!" He ran out with the sword in both hands.

Zhou Jun was as brave as he was mad, not afraid of spears, fierce, and not afraid of death. Iron cavalry rushed into the phalanx and trampled the ranks of the Southern Tang army. Su Yan led the crowd to rush up desperately, chaos, but was slaughtered by the cavalry. Even a knight who falls from a horse is extremely difficult to kill. A sharp weapon cannot pierce the plate armor without a bit of force. Su Yan saw two soldiers pressing a fallen knight, knocking their heads with stones.

Su Yan's department suffered heavy losses, and retreated from the battle, and retreated back to the alley. The place was narrow and it was difficult for the cavalry to enter. The nine-foot man came down from the moment~www.readwn.com~ to greet his subordinates to gather.

At this moment, Su Yan heard a killing sound from behind, and when he turned his head to look at, a group of elite infantrymen of the Zhou army came over on the other side of the alley. When the first fierce man danced with a big axe, he chopped down the ghosts of the Southern Tang Army and howled.

Someone shouted: "Surrender will save you from death!"

Su Yan shouted: "To serve the country with death is today!"

Then he lifted the sword and turned back to face the axe, but there were too many people to squeeze past. The dismounted cavalry of the Zhou army on the street also came to kill. This group of people did not line up at all in the battle, and rushed up to fight.

"Kah!" The soldier behind Su Yan was suddenly knocked over. Su Yan was knocked to the ground inadvertently. He hurriedly turned over and wanted to get up, when he saw a fierce man with a spear from above. . He hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the spear, but it was too late, and his grip couldn't stop the momentum of the stab. Su Yan felt a chill on his chest... He widened his eyes, feeling the strength being taken away from his body, the chill was coming, his eyes Li also watched the people around him stab each other desperately.
