Zheng Yanhua, who rushed to the head of the city, was the latest to contact the enemy, and advanced the fastest, and after joining Lin Renzhao, he first persuaded the opponent with good words, and those who hesitated a little immediately began to bully the few people with more people, swarming up, cutting down the recalcitrant Fuzhou soldiers to the ground, and soon emptied the guards of the beautification gate in the southeast, and swept east along the city wall.

After walking a short distance, Zheng Yanhua saw several Fuzhou soldiers who were rushing towards here, and behind them, Chen Wenshan was shouting and waving a knife in pursuit, and immediately smiled.

When the poor Fuzhou soldiers saw that they were all fierce enemies surging in front and behind them, they immediately knelt down and raised their hands in surrender.

When Chen Wenshan saw Zheng Yanhua, he immediately asked in surprise, "You also broke through the city gate?" ”

Zheng Yanhua looked back at his brothers with a calm face, shook his head and said, "It's not too fast, it took a charge to take it down!" Oh, it should be our fleet there, and it should be almost to Haiyanmen! ”

Chen Wenshan was stunned by the undisguised smug look in Zheng Yanhua's words, and stomped his feet hatefully. Their side has just captured the Water Gate and the Haiyan Gate, and most of the warships have not yet begun to enter the city!

Zheng Yanhua has been with Lin Feng for a long time, and he will not patronize and forget the big thing, so he immediately stepped forward and put his arm around Chen Wenshan's shoulders, led him to the edge of the inner city, pointed to the city and said: "General Chen, my envoy asked me to ask General Chen what he meant, after we join forces, we will go down the city from Haiyan Gate, cross the bridge to attack Antai Gate, and then force Zicheng, or will we assault all the way along the waterway and attack Zicheng to the north?" ”

Chen Wenshan calmed down and asked Zheng Yanhua about the deployment of their troops. Zheng Yanhua said truthfully.

Chen Wenshan immediately expressed his opinion: "Chen Envoy led his troops to attack the inner city in the middle of the waterway, and the troops were small, and now after our two armies entered the city, their strength has increased greatly, and it makes no sense to add us." In the next suggestion, go straight to Antaimen and support Chen Xiangxiang! ”

Zheng Yanhua laughed, he just asked politely, he would definitely give priority to supporting Chen Xu, and immediately replied: "Then I suggest that the troops be divided into two ways, and trouble General Chen Xiao to divide some soldiers to start cleaning up the entire Fuzhou city, and our two brothers will work together to attack Antaimen!" ”

Chen Wenshan nodded in agreement, and after arranging, he began to rush towards Haiyan Gate.

At this time, Chen Yu had already led his troops to rush across the unguarded Antai Bridge and rushed to the Tongjin Gate not far east of Zhenmintai.

The waterway connected by the four water gates of Fuzhou City encloses an inner city that is approximately a rectangle, and the towering town of Mintai is the highest in the middle, and the surrounding area is surrounded by an irregular city according to the waterway and topography. The walls themselves are not very high, but they look steep at first glance because they stand on the undulating slopes.

In fact, the raid on the inner city in the middle of the waterway of Fuzhou City was not in the original siege plan. However, when Chen Yu saw the more than 2,000 Fuzhou soldiers surrendered at the head of Ningyuemen, he estimated the number of guards that might still exist in the city, and then temporarily raised this intention.

In Chen Xu's opinion, anyway, now that there are many generals and sufficient personnel, instead of concentrating troops to besiege Zicheng, it is better to pull out the inner city first and cut off Qian Hongyi's thoughts.

Therefore, when Chen Yu saw the few guards on the Tongjin Gate, he sneered, turned to the generals around him and ordered: "Attack the city with all your strength and fight down!" ”

Since the opening of Jianzhou, the victory momentum of the Jianzhou army without a city and without a battle has already made the confidence of the Jianzhou army extremely high, especially these selected tooth troops. Under the leadership of their respective generals, everyone was divided into four teams and aimed at the four city walls to start preparations.

At this time, three Jianzhou soldiers ran along the river from the east, and they were the contact soldiers sent by Zheng Yanhua.

As soon as Chen Yu heard Zheng Yanhua's latest arrangement, he rubbed his palms and sighed, and excitedly ordered: "Go back and tell Vice General Zheng that he coincides with my thoughts!" Let him break through the Antai Gate with all his might, and then join me on the city wall, and then we will jointly sweep through the inner city wall! ”

The three soldiers agreed, and quickly returned the way they came.

Under an order, the four teams of the 2,000-tooth army attacked, and under the cover of the arrows, they raised their shields and ladders and frantically rushed to the city wall more than three meters high, and the second siege of the Fuzhou War began.

At this time, Lin Feng, who was sitting in the southern camp, had not been idle, first settled the surrendered Fuzhou who had been escorted, and sent Wei San to lead 5,000 people to be stationed in Minshui in the southwest to prevent the Fuzhou naval army stationed in West Lake from making any demons, leaving only 1,000 people to guard the prisoners, and he led nearly 4,000 people to Ningyuemen.

Along the way, all the streets and alleys were deserted, and all the shops along the way were closed, and there was no doubt that these Fuzhou people were all hiding in their homes to escape the war. Lin Feng immediately sent many soldiers to all parts of the city to warn the besieging army, anyone who dared to disturb the people would be killed!

When Lin Feng led the team to cross the Antai Bridge, he found that the Tang Black Dragon Battle Flag was already fluttering on the inner city wall, and he knew in his heart that the obstacle of the inner city had been removed, but his mood was not completely relaxed, and now, there was the most difficult sub-city left in Fuzhou City!

As early as the third year of Emperor Taikang of the Jin Dynasty (282 AD), Fuzhou was originally located in Jin'an County, and the first Taishou Yan Gao moved south to the county seat and created the Jinzi City here. In the past 700 years, the sub-city has been continuously built and reinforced, and the height of the city wall is basically as high as the outer city of Fuzhou, and the whole is compact, and the defenders must be Qian Hongyi's diehards, which is the most difficult to attack.

When passing by Zhenmintai, Lin Feng found Zheng Yanhua's troops at the foot of the mountain, and quickly asked him about the situation, only to learn that about 800 Fuzhou defenders had fled to Zhenmintai.

When Lin Feng hurried all the way to Mao Ying Bridge, he found that the battle to seize the bridge was in the final stage: the land and water army from the east attacked from the water and the north bank at the same time, and Chen Yu was commanding the soldiers to attack from the south, and was "teasing" more than a dozen soldiers guarding the bridge.

Lin Feng rushed to Chen Xu's side, and before he could greet him, he heard a burst of cheers on the bridge deck, the brothers had completely emptied the entire bridge deck, and there were no enemy defenders outside Zicheng.

Lin Feng discussed with Chen Yu and Chen Hongjin, and decided to set up a temporary camp in the south of Maoying Bridge, and Chen Yu and Chen Hongjin were stationed outside Yingtianmen in the west of Zicheng and Qishengmen in the east.

Subsequently, after urgent discussion, a small number of warships were left on the scene for standby, and the other warships carried thousands of soldiers to the east and west respectively, and began to clean up the remnants along the way, and then attacked the Fuzhou Navy that was still insisting on the southwest water gate in two ways.

When the camp was set up, Chen Wenshan also led a few of his men to arrive, reporting that the Quanzhou soldiers had successfully cleared all the defenders on the city wall, killing more than 300 soldiers and capturing nearly 2,000 soldiers.

Hearing the news, Chen Hongjin ran over with a group of subordinates, and Lao Yuan showed his loud voice and shouted: "The defenders of Fuzhou are only 10,000 people, we have killed more than 2,000 people, nearly 4,000 people surrendered, and 800 people are trapped in Zhenmintai, that is to say, there are at most 3,000 people in Zicheng." Our 70,000 troops are rushing up, Qian Hongyi should be captured! ”

This time, Lin Feng and Chen Yu objected in unison: Zicheng is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, and their own soldiers have been fighting continuously for a long time, and there are still remnants in the city that have not been cleared, and they don't know the situation of Fu'an in the north of the road, so it's better not to act rashly!

Chen Hongjin muttered for a long time, and finally had to accept the suggestion of the two, go back to his eastern camp, and prepare siege materials.

At this time, Lin Feng didn't care about eating, and once again pulled ten special soldiers to serve as the team leader temporarily, and led ten teams to various parts of the city to inspect military discipline, and informed the people of Fuzhou along the way that the Tang army would never disturb the people, please don't be afraid, just live a normal life.

In the afternoon of the same day, it was very calm inside and outside the sub-city, and the Southern Tang soldiers under the city happily celebrated the progress of the war and did not attack, while the city was calm and ready for battle.

On the evening of March 24, the good news came to Lin Feng one after another.
