Duan Mingyu's words are sincere. It's better to be arrogant when you are the commander of the three armies. Yang Xingmi was touched when he heard it. But at that time, Tao Ya had not returned. He hoped that Tian Lingzi would agree to his condition of abdication. Keep the country. He still holds out a glimmer of hope. So he politely refused.

When Duan Mingyu came for the second time. The Tang Army's operations on the outside line were fruitful. The Tang army on the northern front successively occupied Yuanzhou, Baiqiaozhou, Jiangyin and other prefectures. The Eastern Route Army also eliminated the Wu army that went to the aid one after another. Conquered Changzhou. On the southern front, Song Wentong's headquarters defeated more than 10,000 Wu troops in Jiangzhou. Capture 500 warships.

In this case. If Yang Xing is secretly aware of current affairs. Surrender the troops and horses as soon as possible. Surrender out of the city. Defeat is also a beautiful defeat. Or simply gather the three armies; Fight to the death with the Don Army. Then the king of the dead country can be regarded as vigorous. But Yang Xingmi neither fought nor made peace. It's still a cliché. When he delayed, he secretly issued a secret decree urging the defenders of Hukou to go to Yangzhou to relieve the siege.

However. Hukou 100,000 troops. It was all over the place.

Hukou guard Yang Min waved 100,000 troops. Claimed to be 150,000. Huge ships and huge rafts carried a large army to the north. Meaning yù break quarrying pontoon. Straight to the city of Yangzhou. They met in Anhui with Yang Fugong, the commander of the Tang Army.

A big battle between the two sides immediately began. Because the Yangtze River is shallow in winter. The water surface is not wide. Yang Min's army could only line up in a long line that stretched for more than ten miles. Although it occupies a numerical advantage. But it's hard to perform. It was a southeast wind. Yang Min made a decision immediately. Immediately Mingjin retreated. Pouring countless fire oil into the river. Light a fire. Burning Flames. In an instant, there were more than 8,000 people in the vanguard of Tian Lingzi's Chinese army. Hundreds of warships were swallowed up. Unexpectedly, even God came to tease Wu Guo. The fire has just started. The direction of the wind suddenly changed. The southeast wind turned into a northwest wind. The fire turned over and burned itself. Yang Min's warships and giant rafts jammed the entire river, and there was no space to move it. Fire together. Boat by boat burned. The water surface of the Yangtze River, which is more than ten miles long, suddenly turned into a great wall of fire.

Tang on the opposite side looked at Song Wentong dumbfounded. At this moment, Wang Yanzhang, the general of the right army, rushed to hear the news again. Defend both sides of the Yangtze River. But there are those who jump ashore. It's a knife in the head. Chop back into the Yangtze River. Yang Min has no way to go to the sky and no door to the ground. Heartbreaking. Pointing to heaven and earth and scolding heaven and earth for injustice. Then he pushed the generals and committed suicide by throwing himself into the fire.

Yangzhou's only strong reinforcement collapsed. When Yang Xingmi heard the news, he was really burned. Duan Mingyu also entered the city with the envoy for the third time to persuade him to surrender. This time. Duan Mingyu brought the latest battle report of the Tang Army. Wang Yanzhang led the army to travel dozens of miles and defeated the Wu army of 5,000 in Runzhou. Runzhou defender Liu Yù Kaecheng surrendered. The last outer gateway to Yangzhou was blocked. Yangzhou has become an isolated city.

Yang Xingmi was miserable. Desperate. Only promised to surrender. Willing to go to Chang'an first. After negotiating the details of the surrender, surrender the soil. But that night. But he summoned 5,000 people who dared to die to attack the Tang camp at night. Fantasizing about turning the tide of battle with a surprise attack.

Pity. Under the collective wisdom of the generals. He didn't make a mistake in choosing the location of the attack. It is geographically the most suitable Beicheng Tang camp for night raids. However, his generals could see that this place was the best place to attack at night. How can Tian Lingzi, who has been a lifelong Rong Ma, not see it. Tian Lingzi had already personally ordered it. The commander will be on strict alert in the northern city. The Tang camp army in Beicheng has long been in a tight position.

A hard night's battle. None of the 5,000 people who dared to die in Wu refused to retreat. Completely annihilated in the Tang army. Early in the morning when cleaning the battlefield. From many corpses, there are many general-level sigils. This death squad was a jīng Ying warrior in the defenders of the state of Wu. Many of them personally acted as death squads. They are all buried here. The grassroots backbone of the Wu army has been wiped out in the first battle.

This also angered Tian Lingzi. He ordered Duan Mingyu to enter Jinling City. This time. What he brought was not a condition to persuade Yang Xingmi to surrender and negotiate peace. It's a war letter from Tian Lingzi. The time is tonight. The location is in Yangzhou. Fight to the death. There is no room for manoeuvre.

It's night. The Tang army siege the city. Bullet stones rained down. Arrows like clouds. Countless ladders, flying hooks, throwing cars, rushing cars, Xuan cars and Gan roller cars have turned the vast Yangzhou city wall as a battlefield. Most of the experienced mid- and lower-ranking officers in the city died in the sneak attack last night. Now many newly promoted officers have come to the army with hasty arrests. The white armor army who doesn't know how to shoot a bow and arrows. Panic ran in Yangzhou City.

The city is dangerous. It still needs strong troops to defend it. Such an army. How to hold the danger of Yangzhou City.

Now. The shouts are so close. The Tang army is about to kill under the palace wall.

Yang Xing stood up stupidly. Walk slowly outward. The hall is too cold. He wore something thicker. The already slightly chubby figure looks even more swollen. The bright yellow dragon robe on the outside couldn't add a little bit to him.

Your Highness. There are many maiko, palace ladies, and chamberlains. One by one, the faces are pale. Someone can't help but be scared and crying. Yang Xingmi stopped. Silent for a while. He said to them, "City. I can't keep it."

As soon as this statement came out. All the people of the palace wept and worshipped to the ground. The sound of the trumpet shook the sky. Yang Xingmi forcibly beats the god Jīng. With tears in his eyes, he said, "You don't have to stay in the palace and die with this king. Classroom music and dance. It is a talented man in Jiangnan for decades. It's not easy to get together. You're twenty years old. A secluded place to hide for the time being. Regardless of Yangzhou, the surname Yang is surnamed Li. The court is always indispensable to you. Alas. Message. Open all the palace gates. Treasures in the palace. Let it be at your disposal. Go. Go. You all go. It's good to do it for yourself."

The dancers, musicians, and palace attendants cried and thanked Yang Xingmi. Fleeing in a panic.

A moment of effort. Another group of people rushed in a panic. There were dozens of people. Yang Xingmi thought that those musicians and dancers had gone and returned. I am willing to live and die with myself. I was moved. Take a closer look. But it was some civil and military officials. It doesn't seem like their official position is very high. Many of them were unfamiliar to him. But the national disaster is at the head. And these loyal people came to escort them. than their own henchmen. Liu Yulai, the defender of Runzhou who surrendered to the Tang army, said. How precious it is. Yang Xingmi's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Yang Xingmi trembled and called out. Two lines of hot tears were rolling down his cheeks.

"The King. The general trend is gone. The ministers risked their lives to come. Ken asked the king to change the civil clothes. Carry all the treasures. The ministers were willing to cover the king and escape among the people. 19 states in the south of the Yangtze River. Now it has not yet fallen into the hands of the Tang people. If the time comes. The king may not be able to make a comeback."

Yang Xingmi took a closer look. This official looks a little familiar. It seems to be a hall official of the Honglu Temple. And I am still my own family. Also surnamed Yang.

Yang Xingmi took his hand. Gloomily wept and said, "Yang Aiqing. The Tang army besieged Yangzhou. This king is not accustomed to walking. Where can we go? Come, come with this king." The minister mentioned the treasure. Suddenly, he remembered what he held most dear. So he hurried to Chengxin Hall with them. On the side of Chengxin Hall is the Qinghui Palace. These two places. It is a place where Wu Guochu puts priceless treasures. At this moment, the eunuch guarding here heard that Yang Xingmi opened the palace door. Allow it to reincarnate for itself. It's long gone.
