Two days later, at noon, Meng Shiyi was leading people to dig tunnels in the dark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSuddenly, someone came to report: "My lord! Today, the enemy did not shell at the west gate as usual, but transferred a lot of people from the north and east gates and went to the riverside! ”

Meng Shiyi wiped the sweat from his head and ordered: "Go and tell all the teams to stop, and ask people to listen to the movement!" ”

After speaking, he just took a breath and suddenly shouted: "Not good! Damn Wang Yiming, it won't be him who dug the tunnel first! ”

As he ran out, he ordered: "You all come out to rest, and wait for the order to return to work!" ”

When riding on a horse and galloping towards the west gate, Meng Shiyi couldn't stop praying in his heart that it was not the enemy who dug under the city gate first! If they were going to get gunpowder at this time, then at the latest tomorrow at this time, Jinling City would collapse!

On the wall of the west gate of Jinling City, Meng Ye and Zhang Jun each took a clairvoyant eye and carefully watched the movements of the enemy army in the distance.

"Have you ever seen someone from the enemy army bring things back?" Meng Shiyi dismounted and took three steps and two steps up the city wall, panting and asking.

"Nope." Zhang Jun replied, "I can't see what these people are going to do when they go to the riverside. ”

"Our tunnels are shut down five times a day at random, so people can listen underground. The enemy's tunnels are indeed getting closer and closer, but they should still be dozens of feet away from the city walls. It doesn't make sense that they can avoid listening and digging all the way. Meng Shiyi frowned.

"No matter what the situation is on the enemy's side," Meng Ye said, "I have discussed with President Zhang Qian, and tomorrow at dawn, he will lead 10,000 people to kill them and cover the five people to report to the prince in the north." Then the 10,000 men retreated, lured the enemy outside the city, and then hit the enemy with the artillery on the city wall with heavy crossbows, and killed as many as they could! We can't afford to sit back any longer! ”

Meng Shiyi knew that his father was really in a hurry. He solemnly thanked Zhang Jun and said, "Mr. Zhang Qian, go back and rest and prepare, I will guard the West Gate for you now." ”

Zhang Jun saluted the two of them, and went to order troops without mentioning it.

"Father......" Meng Shiyi turned her head to look at her father with gray temples, and she felt very uncomfortable.

"I hate you and my father and son for not having the skills of Xie Xuan, Li Guangbi, and Zhang Xun, and it is really useless to guard a rich and solid Jinling City to such a field......" Meng Ye's wry smile showed a hint of old age.

Meng Shiyi was ashamed, but still persuaded: "Father, don't be discouraged, things haven't gotten so bad yet." The Jinling city defense did not hurt the muscles and bones, and the morale of the soldiers defending the city was still high. As long as we persevere, there will be a day when the clouds will open and the moon will shine. ”

Meng Ye smiled reluctantly: "You frizzy boy, there are times when you calm down and comfort me......" He waved his hand and said tiredly: "You go down first, go to the north gate and the east gate to inspect it." Then send someone to report to me the movement in the underground, and then tell the people who dig the tunnels to return to work. ”

Meng Shiyi answered "yes" and took the order.

On the edge of the Yangtze River, Wang Yu got off the boat and saw the rumored eldest son of Wang Jiashu Wang Yiming for the first time. He has little resemblance to Wang Yiqian, except for the hooked nose, and the two brothers are the same.

"Sure enough, it's better to see than to hear, General Wang's appearance is extraordinary, I'm sorry for my sister!" Wang Yiming said with a smile.

Wang Yu hated others praising his appearance the most in his life, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "I don't dare to be praised by Prince Wang, how can I be worthy of your mansion Zhuyu in this piece of rotten wood!" ”

Wang Yiming didn't understand why Wang Yu insisted on withdrawing from his relatives before, but now he feels that if he were him, he probably wouldn't easily look at ordinary vulgar fans.

He smiled and glanced at the Wang family's fleet on the river, where there was no end in sight, and asked cautiously: "But there is only one Jinling City, how can you bother General Wang to bring all his net worth?" ”

Wang Yu said with a smile: "This little person can't empty our Huguang family!" It's not a secret, your family's thoughts, my family also has them, how can Liang Zan know how many people there are in my family? ”

"According to the agreement between my father and your family, the north of Taihu Lake in the south belongs to me, and the south belongs to you. In the future, your family will not go north, and my family will not invade south. As for the two families doing their own business," Wang Yu glanced at Wang Yiming with a smile, "Your third brother has been arrested by Princess Xuanhui, my sister can't marry such a straw bale ......"

Wang Yiming hurriedly smiled: "This is natural! My sixth brother has not yet married a wife, and I am the brother of the same mother, I don't know how many times stronger than the third brother! When Jinling City arrives, I will ask him to come over and take a look at you, how about it? ”

Wang Yu nodded, it was a response.

"I set up a banquet in the camp, can General Wang go and talk about it?" Wang Yiming said with a smile.

Wang Yu looked at the sun shadow that had been skewed, and said with a smile: "It's late tonight, my people will rest on the boat tonight, and camp again tomorrow." As for the banquet, the eldest prince moved over! ”

Wang Yiming secretly cursed cunning in his heart, but after all, other people's troops were several times more than his own, so he had to comply.

The overnight fist line was very lively. When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Wang Yu excused himself from a long journey and was tired and tired, so he stopped the feast and drink, and was supported by someone to return to the boat leisurely.

Wang Yiming quietly stuffed a piece of silver into the hand of the little guy next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Has your general always been so shallow?" ”

The little guy weighed the weight of the silver, and said with a smile: "The eldest prince is polite, my second master is already giving you face today, and he doesn't drink a drop of wine on weekdays." In the past, when I was in Jinling, even if the prince persuaded him to drink, it was no more than two taels. Even then, you'll have to sleep for most of the day! ”

Wang Yiming nodded and called his people back to the camp.

After an hour, the surroundings were completely quiet, and only the sound of the river lapping on the shore from time to time continued.

Wang Yu had already changed into a black color short suit in the cabin, and Pei Minzhong's letter was tightly held in his arms.

"General, Heng and Zhu have already arrived at Jinling City, let's just surround Wang Yiming outside and beat him hard, why do you venture into the city at this time?" The attendant persuaded in a tangled way.

"I have a reason why I have to go." Wang Yu finally straightened his sleeves, picked up the saber on the table and walked out.

"If nothing else, I'll be back before dawn. If you do not return before noon, you will disembark and set up camp as planned. To Wang Yiming, just say that I have a hangover and haven't woken up. How to stop him and keep him from doubting is up to you! ”

The retinue replied: "General, please rest assured! ”

Wang Yu got off the small sampan behind the boat, got on his war horse, and under the wrapping of the night, he ran single-handedly towards Jinling City.
