In the Battle of Chengnan, Li Yu and his courtiers almost lost control of the situation, and the only thing they could do was to decide whether to surrender and fight a decisive battle with the Zhou army.

As for the specific arrangements for the war, it was very chaotic under the various disadvantages of the siege of the isolated city, low morale, and panic. The defense of the water village guarding the river was very messy and sloppy, and it was easily burned by the Zhou army at the beginning, and then the original elite forbidden army collapsed at the touch of a button, and they could not rescue each other.

More than 100,000 people in the south were defeated in one day. At this time, Jiangning City really became a lonely city, and the land outside the city wall was lost, and it was all controlled by the enemy.

The next day, when Li Yu ascended the gatehouse of the imperial city, he heard the sound of the stones of the catapult crashing against the city wall, as well as the shouts of people in the distance. The Zhou army in the south of the city began to take the lead in attacking the city, and I am afraid that enemy troops from other directions will also begin to besiege this city one after another...... The foundation of the decades-old foundation established by the Li family's ancestors.

Rao is Li Yu has never fought a war, and he also knows that the current Jiangning City cannot be defended for too long, and the city may be broken at any time. The ancients said that the country is not in danger in Germany; No matter how strong the fortifications are, how can the morale of the people not be there?

He suddenly felt less stressed, a strange feeling. In the past, the Zhou army pressed the border, and they were still worried all day long; But now he felt as if he could breathe a sigh of relief, anyway, the end was just around the corner, and he was completely helpless.

Li Yu returned to the main hall of the last dynasty, thought for a long time, and then asked someone to prepare firewood and fierce fire oil to move to the main hall. I want to set myself on fire after the city is broken, and it's a hundred.

This move alarmed his biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhong, and led the palace people to the main hall to cry bitterly and persuade Li Yu to save his life. Li Yu only said: "The country is dead in the hands, and I am ashamed of the people, there is only this way." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong couldn't cry and choked up: "My son is a benevolent and kind person, and he is not at fault, but the fault is that he should not let you be the emperor." You're not an emperor! ”

After all, Li Yu was born to the Empress Dowager Zhong, and the Empress Dowager Zhong understood his character, so she said that the painful situation when the fire was burned, and the tragic situation after death. Sure enough, Li Yu's face was afraid.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't give up the idea of self-immolation. At this moment, Li Yu's eyes were inadvertibly attracted by the little girl behind Empress Dowager Zhong, who was Zhou Jiamin, the sister of Emperor Zhou E, the queen of the country. The little lady is only nine years old, but she is beautiful and lovely, delicate and beautiful; After all, Empress E has been a queen, and her temperament is more dignified, but these two sisters are naturally charming, and they have their own style at a young age.

Li Yu couldn't help but say in his heart: That blacksmith Guo caught Sister Zhou, can you let her go?

"The queen mother doesn't need to persuade me anymore, just leave Jia Min in this hall to accompany me." Li Yu said.

Although the little lady is less than ten years old, she is smart, and she understood the meaning at once, "No, ......" Zhou Jiamin lost her color, turned around and was about to run, but she was immediately grabbed by a eunuch and grabbed her petite body. Li Yu sighed and said kindly: "I am also for your good." ”

……

The people in the palace went to the barracks to get the fierce fire oil used to defend the city, and after the military general Yu Yan knew about it, he asked about the use; The eunuch replied that what His Majesty ordered to do should be moved to the main hall.

After hearing this, he looked at the direction of the imperial city with the general Ma Chengcheng and others, and bowed down, and sorrow came from it. Yu Yan was ashamed: "We have received the emperor's favor, but we can't defend the emperor today, sit back and watch the country break, lose face, and live shamelessly!" ”

The surrounding soldiers lowered their heads when they heard this, and they were desolate.

Yu Yan looked up at the ramp of the upper city, some law enforcement officers with weapons were shouting and forcing the soldiers to go to the city, and the defenders were chaotic and had no fighting spirit. I knew in my heart that the city could not be defended, and the soldiers could not fight by threat and force.

"Bang! Bang ......" another ** stone flew from the air and kept smashing on the city wall. Yu Yan was in the barracks under the city, and at this moment he felt even more intense, the bricks and stones on the female wall were splashed, and the whole city seemed to be shaken.

"Ladies and ......gentlemen," he said, standing up and holding his head high, "Since ancient times, there has been no country that has never died, and surrendering is also a humiliation. Your Majesty is also going to die for the country, who is willing to fight to the death with me to serve the country? ”

Ma Chengcheng and other generals agreed, willing to fight to the death with Yu Yan.

Yu Yan said again: "The city can't be defended, let's deploy our own soldiers and horses in the city, wait for the enemy soldiers to enter the city, and fight with them." ”

…… Within a few days, the various units of the Zhou army and the Wu Yue army besieged the ants on three sides. The southern city wall was the first to be climbed by the Zhou army, and soon the southern city gate was opened from the inside, and the Zhou army waited outside to swarm in, and the army poured into the city like a flood.

Yu Yan led the army to set up a formation on the street outside the main gate of the imperial city, and ordered Ma Cheng to set up a phalanx in front of the street to resist the advance of the Zhou army, and led his men and horses to ambush in the flank alley. After planning to block the advance of the Zhou army with a phalanx, the ambush soldiers fought out from the flanks and attacked from both sides.

Less leaning, the roar of the horse's hooves is getting closer and closer. The forward horsemen of the Zhou army were also simple, and they went straight from the central axis avenue and went straight to the direction of the imperial city. Yu Yan shouted at Ma Chengcheng at the entrance of the alley: "Good come, Brother Ma is ready!" ”

In anticipation of the Zhou army's cavalry from the center, the phalanx was lined with thick pikemen with sharp spearheads densely facing the front. After a short time, he saw the horsemen coming, and a group of chaotic soldiers did not form a march at all, and rushed wildly in a chaotic manner. The streets here were paved with smooth masonry, and the iron hooves were louder on the hard ground, and the ears were buzzing.

The edge of the cavalry had no intention of stopping, and his eyes widened, and his breath was held, waiting for the moment when the two armies clashed.

"Ahh......h Less leaning, a man crashed straight into the spear, the horse did not stop, neighed and fell to the ground, the soldier fell to the ground with the war horse, quickly got up, the weapon in his hand slashed, "ding, ding, clang......" The sound of impact was endless; The ground was flat and hard, the horses' hooves did not grip the ground, several horses in a row crashed into the spears, and the heavy men and horses crashed straight out of the phalanx.

"Huh!" An iron horse raised its front hooves high, then fell down heavily, finally stopping its momentum. Immediately a nine-foot man, taller and stronger than everyone else. At this time, the phalanx general Shuai Ma Chengcheng was shouting: "Fight to the death and don't retreat!" "The nine-foot man suddenly threw an iron spear at him! Ma Chengcheng was alert and raised the shield to block, "Bang! With a loud bang, the iron spear actually pierced the shield alive and stabbed into the chest of Ma Chengcheng, who was wearing two layers of heavy armor!

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

The Zhou army was as brave as madness, not afraid of spears, not afraid of death, and the iron cavalry rushed into the phalanx and trampled on the ranks of the southern **, and after a while, the phalanx was scattered, and the soldiers were scattered. Yu Yan led the crowd to rush forward desperately, and the confusion was unbearable, but he was condescendingly slaughtered by the cavalry. Even if it is a knight who has fallen from the horse, it is extremely difficult to kill, and the sharp weapon cannot pierce the plate armor without a little force, and it is even more difficult to break the armor when chopping. He saw two soldiers pressing a fallen knight, knocking on the head with a stone.

The Yuyan tribe suffered heavy losses, fought and retreated, and retreated back to the alley, where the place was narrow, and it was difficult for the cavalry to break through, and the scattered two horsemen were also besieged and pulled off their horses if they did not want to enter. The nine-foot man got off his horse and beckoned his men to dismount and gather.

At this moment, Yu Yan heard a killing sound behind him, and when he turned his head to look, on the other side of the alley, a group of elite infantry of the Zhou army came over. When the first fierce man danced a big axe, he slashed the south ** ghost and howled.

Someone shouted: "Surrender and you will die!" ”

Yu Yan shouted: "Repay the country with death, today!" ”

Then he raised his sword and turned back to meet the man with the axe, but there were too many people to squeeze through it for a while. The Zhou army on the street dismounted and the cavalry also killed, and these people did not line up at all to fight, and rushed up to fight and kill.

"Bang!" The soldier behind him was suddenly knocked over, and he was knocked to the ground carelessly, and he hurriedly turned over and tried to get up, when he saw a fierce man with a spear stabbing down from above. He hurriedly reached out to grab the spear, but it was too late, and the grip couldn't stop the momentum of the stabbing blow, and he felt a chill on his chest...... His eyes widened, he felt his strength being pulled away from him, a chill was coming, and his eyes were still watching the people around him desperately stab each other.
