In his impression, Chen Baxian is very talented and has the scheming to match him, so it is difficult to be moved by a few words.Now that Chen Baxian has led his troops here, it already shows that the other party has a comprehensive plan.

What price can Xiao Yi offer?Should Chen Ba be the emperor first?For someone like Chen Baxian to give up his current position, the price to be paid is unimaginable.

"Well, that's his loss."

Xiao Yi said in a moody way.

One army after another of different forces came to "King Qin", which gave him a very bad premonition, as if the position in Taicheng was getting farther and farther away from him.

Xiao Lun's ability to come and Xiao Ying's ability to come, does that mean... Liu Yishou can also come?After all, that guy has already stationed troops in Jiangning, so he can tell what he wants to do.

"Your Highness, we still have a surplus of troops. And although Yang Kan blocked us with a wall of fire last night, the earth mountain also collapsed. Next time we attack the city, we still have a chance of winning."

Wang Sengbian's eyes were bright, and he pointed out the biggest loss of Yang Kan and the others last night.God is indeed helping both sides, but after all, it is more to help oneself.

The dirt hills on the city wall are gone, and now the dirt hills outside the city are higher!If the siege continues, Yang Kan will have no choice but to grit his teeth and fight for casualties.However, how many soldiers can fill in Taicheng?

Yang Kan can easily deal with those "smart methods", but he can't do anything about Wang Sengbian's "stupid method".

"Time is running out, you have to hurry up."

Although Xiao Yi's tone was calm, it was faintly threatening, and he was about to lose all patience.

Wang Sengbian understands very well that this master has a very bad temper. Once he loses his temper, his relatives will deny him, and he will do anything!He hastily cupped his hands and said: "Once the series takes a short rest, the next time we attack the city, I will finally go into battle in person."

This is success or failure.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, got on his horse and left.

……

In the signing room in Jiangning City, all the generals have arrived.Liu Yishou looked around solemnly, looking around at the crowd, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Wang Wei cupped his hands and said to Liu Yishou: "My lord, now Fan Meng's troops have withdrawn from the south bank of the Qinhuai River, please give me an order, my lord!"

"There is no division of troops this time. Yang Zhong is the vanguard, Yu Jin is in command of the Chinese army, and the rest of the ministries are under Yu Jin's command. I personally sit in Jiangning City and leave 5000 troops to support you at any time. Hu Sengyou and Pan Le are the deputy generals of our department.

The situation around Taicheng is complicated, and you and others can adapt accordingly.There is only one goal in this battle, to drive all the troops around Taicheng out of Jiankang, and not to annihilate a certain army as an important goal, do you understand? "

"Follow the commander's orders!"

The crowd said in unison.

"Chen Yuankang set off with Yu Jin, and Wang Wei followed my orders. Again, no attack on Taicheng is allowed! Those who violate the order will do so according to the military law."

Liu Yishou confessed again in earnest.

After all the generals left, he slumped on the beard stool as if his body strength had been drained.

"Master, everything is ready, don't worry." Wang Wei persuaded in a low voice.

"Go and stare at the battle report, I want to be alone."

Liu Yishou waved his hand weakly and said.

The current feeling is similar to that of candidates with mid-range grades who handed in their final papers after the college entrance examination.

In addition to being relieved, there is an uneasiness that cannot be shaken off at all.

Chapter 408

Chen Ba first occupied Bird Clothes Lane, which made Wang Sengbian feel a strong sense of crisis.Xiao Ying sent troops confidently, but it was because Xiao Yi had not yet entered Jiankang.Once he entered Jiankang and Xiao Gang died, then Xiao Ying would have no reason to be "king of diligence".

He will never be able to make himself the emperor. Without Xiao Gang, his appeal will suddenly drop, making it difficult to convince the public.

After a brief discussion with Xiao Yi, Wang Sengbian decided to storm Taicheng tonight, to solve the biggest trouble before Chen Ba did it first.This can be regarded as capturing the thief first and capturing the king first.

Jiankang has a very strong symbolic meaning for the Southern Dynasties, and the chieftains from all over the country only look for one thing: the one who enters Jiankang is the king, and he will be canonized, and he will not listen to the announcement.

This has been the rule since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

On the tower to the south of Taicheng, Yang Kan looked solemnly watching the Xiangdong king's army successively ascending the earth hills outside the city, but they have not yet launched an attack.The bare earth hill is full of torches, which looks very funny.

"You take the Yang family's generals and family members to escort His Majesty out of the city, walk from the north gate, and run towards Xuanwu Lake."

Yang Kan held the hilt of the saber in his hand, looked into the distance, and said to his son Yang Zhen calmly.

Ok?

Sheep thought he had heard wrong.

"Father, you just said..."

"Let you run away with the emperor!"

Yang Kan glared at Yang Zhen displeasedly and said.

Isn't it true that the general of Taicheng City is thinking about the way out now?

Yang Zhen lowered his voice and said: "Father, we can defend, there are still many soldiers and horses in Taicheng, we..."

Yang Kan waved his hand to interrupt the other party's chatter.

"It looks like I can't keep it."

Yang Kan sighed, his keen intuition over the years made him realize that his opponent's behavior tonight was very unusual.Furthermore, the earth mountain is much higher than the city wall, and the general trend has been achieved.Opponents can shoot condescendingly on the dirt hill, even if they throw fire oil, they can kill the defenders on the city wall.

It may be understandable for the young Yang Kan to not understand these things, but if the battle-hardened Yang Kan does not understand, then he is not good at learning and making the world laugh.

"Father, after stepping out of the city, the world is so big that there is no place to stay. Where can I go?"

Sheep asked helplessly.

"Leaving the Yangtze River from Xuanwu Lake, I went to the land of the Three Wus." Yang Kan gave him a glare.This son is really not very smart. He is very clever on weekdays, and he can't tell the situation clearly at critical moments.

After dismissing Yang Yan, Yang Kan found that Wang Sengbian had already started to attack!

One after another, the torches coated with fierce kerosene were thrown from the earth hill by the attacking party, and when they hit the city wall, there was a sea of ​​flames.Two days ago, Yang Kan gave the "gift" to King Dajun of Eastern Hunan, and now Wang Sengbian returned the original amount.

Just, this moment and that moment.

At that time, the army of the King of Eastern Hunan who attacked the city was in great chaos, and their people were all on the city wall, and they were burned by fire oil and suffered heavy casualties.But now those people are all on the earth hill, but on the city wall are the Taicheng defenders under Yang Kan's command, it is clear at a glance who is worse.

However, there was another problem that Yang Kan couldn't figure out.The southern city wall was burned into a sea of ​​flames. How would the elite soldiers under Wang Sengbian's command climb the city?There is no "identification between friend and foe" in the flames, and things like fierce kerosene can't be photographed off even if they are stained.

While thinking, the defenders on the city wall suffered heavy casualties and retreated towards the south tower.Yang Kan watched this scene coldly, and ordered the soldiers to evacuate from the city wall temporarily.

You can still fight with the enemy, but if you fight fiercely with fierce oil, you will feel uncomfortable.Of course, he was not worried that Wang Sengbian would take the opportunity to attack the city, so he let the fire burn for a while.

Generally speaking, the battle situation is not good for the defenders, especially the dirt hill outside the city.But if Wang Sengbian wanted to enter Zhutai City, he would have to pay for it with his life!

"General Yang, the enemy army has started to use sand to extinguish the fire and enter the city. We want to go there, but they use arrows to cover, so our people can't get close."

A former guard of the Forbidden Army in Taicheng said anxiously to Yang Kan.

"Understood, the enemy may want to enter the city, gather the team and prepare to fight outside the triple wall."

Yang Kan ordered in a deep voice.

The reason why there is no solution to the method of mounding the mountain is because it can eliminate the advantage of the defender from the height.Although the movement is slow, once the mound is piled up, the defenders will be extremely passive.

Yang Kan already knew that the outer city wall of Taicheng was undefensible, and was preparing to fight "street fighting".

Following Yang Kan's order, the Taicheng defenders began to implement the "two sets of plans" prepared in advance.With the gate of the triple wall "Da Sima Gate" as the core defense, defend the imperial palace, Taicang, and Hualin Garden, the necessary passage for escaping from the north gate.

……

Seeing that Wang Sengbian led troops into Taicheng, and Yang Kan seemed to have given up the defense of the outer city wall, Xiao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Why does Taicheng not stand tall?Not relying on the towering outer wall!Losing the protection of the outer city wall is like a little lady leading a strong man into her boudoir.

Although he was still wearing clothes, but...that was all, sooner or later he would become a plaything for a strong man.

"Your Highness, there is a large army crossing the river on the south bank of the Qinhuai River. It is suspected to be the Liu Yishou Department of the Huainan Frontier Army."

Fan Yi, the elder brother of the Fan brothers, reported to Xiao Yi with an ugly face.

Liu Yishou came as soon as Fan Meng left, what a bastard he was.Fan Yi cursed Liu Yishou in his heart for being a clever little ghost.

"Crossing the river?"

Xiao Yi's complexion changed suddenly, and it was only then that he remembered that Fan Meng's troops had been transferred to Zhuque Bridge to defend against Chen Baxian.Meanwhile, Wang Lin's department monitored Xiao Lunjun's movements near Zhu Yi's mansion.

Although Xiao Lun was defeated, his main force was still there, so he couldn't let it go.

"In this way, you lead your troops to prevent Liu Yishou's men from crossing the river, and then order Wang Lin's troops to come back to help."

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Fan Yi was embarrassed, not knowing how to carry out this order.

Wang Lin is Xiao Yi's brother-in-law, who is domineering and domineering on weekdays, and a group of brothers under his command are all desperadoes.Fan Yi himself is just a general who "just" took refuge here, will Wang Lin listen to him?

It is even more nonsense to prevent the enemy from crossing the river.The trilogy that the Fan brothers wooed were all on Fan Meng's side, and now they are all at Zhuqueqiao.How could the soldiers and horses of Xiangzhou under Xiao Yi's command listen to the command of his "surrendered general"?

The Fan brothers are all talented people, but it's a pity that they don't fight alone.If there is no part, the general is nothing.

"What are you still doing in a daze, the military situation is urgent!"

Xiao Yi reprimanded displeased.

"Your Highness, it's better to write a book..."

Fan Yi said embarrassingly.

"That's it!"

Xiao Yi began to write a letter in agitation, and when the ink was dry, he handed the personal jade pendant to Fan Yi and said, "Send someone to deliver the letter, and then take the token to dispatch troops."

"Here!"

Fan Yi was overjoyed, took the letter and the jade pendant and left.

After he left, Xiao Yi let out a long sigh.It was very bad news that Liu Yishou sent troops to cross the river, but he didn't think the other party could do anything to him.Wang Sengbian has already invaded Taicheng, and the general situation is set.

So what if Liu Yishou is here?

After thinking and thinking, Xiao Yi felt that it would be better to write a letter to the other party. After all, he would soon be the Lord of Jiankang, and it would be best not to fight this "Huainan King". After all, we are still relatives.

……

On the south bank of the Qinhuai River, there are many torches, which are mighty and powerful.

On the bank of the river, Chen Xin, the son of Chen Qingzhi, was instructing the remnants of the white robes to throw the "trestle bridge" that had been prepared in advance into the Qinhuai River.Many trestle bridges were lined up one by one and connected with thick hemp ropes, and a pontoon bridge was soon built.

The soldiers of the White Robe Army come from the water village by the lake, and they are best at this kind of kung fu on the water.After a while, Chen Xin came to Yu Jin and cupped his hands and said, "Master Yu, the pontoon bridges have been erected. There are five bridges in total. Please cross the river."

"well done!"

Yu Jin nodded slightly, showing no expression of emotion or anger.

The sea is tolerant of all rivers and rivers, and the elite soldiers in white robes are very useful.

However, without Xiao Yan's "legacy" and without the strategy of supporting Xiao Huan to enter the main stage city, it would be as difficult as heaven to drive this wave of elite soldiers.

Yu Jin knew very well in his heart that in fact, the outcome of a war is far from fighting in battle, but a competition of strength, strategy, and general trend between the two sides.Xiao Yi proclaimed himself emperor, and he had already lost this wave, it was nothing more than how much he lost.

"Captain Yu, our troops have already crossed the river, and General Yang (Yang Zhong) sent his final officer to ask what to do next."

At this moment, the striker Yang Zhongbu, who had successfully crossed the river, sent scouts to deliver the news.

So fast!It should be that Chen Xin was building the bridge, and Yang Zhong sent people to cross the river.

"Order the Ministry to capture Taishe and Taimiao, deploy defenses there, and wait for the next move."

"Here!"

The messenger left in a hurry, and Yu Jin squinted his eyes to check the lights in the distance, which was the direction of the south gate of Taicheng.

Beforehand, Liu Yishou had made a decision, mainly based on two principles.

The first one is to avoid dividing troops, no matter how many enemies there are, just fight back all the way.

The second is simpler, defeat Xiao Yi's army first, and let the others go first, eliminate interference, and don't do things that are not urgent, let alone unnecessary things.

"If Xiao Yi attacks Taicheng at this moment, we will lead our troops to attack the back of the earth mountain, and we will be able to break it."

Chen Yuankang said with a smile.

In fact, Yu Jin is also thinking about this question, but what if Xiao Yi doesn't attack the city now?

"Our army has been training for many days, and its morale is high. It is ready for a battle. Xiao Yi's soldiers and horses have been fighting fiercely for many days, and their physical strength is exhausted. Now is the time to defeat them."

Seeing that Yu Jin seemed to be hesitant, Chen Yuankang couldn't help but suggest.

"My lord's important matter, I'm uneasy, for fear that I will fail my entrustment."

Yu Jin sighed, the burden on his shoulders was too heavy.On weekdays, Liu Yishou didn't realize that many things were different from what he had imagined after handing over the command of the army to him.
