Jinling City has the most powerful defending force in the Northern Tang Dynasty in the land of Southern Wu.

Not only the importance of Jinling, but also the knot between the two sides -

The Northern Tang needed to control the old capital of Southern Wu in order to put psychological pressure on those people, and Southern Wu couldn't wait to take it back.

That's a symbol.

Eight thousand soldiers and horses defended the city.

The siege was an army of 20,000.

Don't look at the small number of people, after Li Zenan's personal expedition and the defeat of both sides, it is already rare to be able to gather so many people inside and outside a city.

The siege of Jinling has broken out.

Guanlian Hall was divided into two routes, attacking from Jiangdong Gate and Shangyuan Gate respectively.

Arrows fly sideways, stones, boiling oil......

Ladders, siege engines, siege towers......

The siege battle has lasted for half a day, and there are layers of corpses piled up outside the city, most of them are Southern Wu soldiers who died in battle, and some are Northern Tang soldiers who were killed and fell off the city wall.

The old capital is in front of you, and these soldiers, whose combat strength and willpower should not be as good as the former regular army, burst out with amazing courage.

They followed one after another, and one after the other, and a heap of deaths, followed by countless people.

However, the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty seemed to be determined to live and die with the city, even if the number of the other party was several times that of them, even if the enemy was fierce and vicious, they were not afraid of casualties and defended the city day and night, not stopping.

It was a difficult tug-of-war, more than the patience of the people.

The Northern Tang people were waiting for the arrival of General Weiyuan, and they were convinced of this.

The Southern Wu people had to wait for the collapse of the Northern Tang people, when the city was just around the corner, and they were convinced that Jin An would hold off General Weiyuan at all costs.

It's a matter of who collapses first.

The siege continued until the end of the day, with heavy casualties and exhaustion on both sides.

Guan Lian Hall has collected troops.

Cooking in a pot, everyone inside and outside the city was given a brief respite.

The next day, all day, there was silence by the city walls. With it comes depression and heaviness, and everyone understands that this is only a symptom before the next storm.

On the third day, the siege began again.

Because of the number of people, the Guanlian Hall was still divided into two routes of soldiers and horses, attacking from the Xianhe Gate and the Cangbo Gate.

The young man, sitting on his horse, stared coldly at the earth-shattering battle in the distance, and did not say a word.

This is his capital and his home, and now his capital and home are occupied by the enemy, and he is still squatting there and refusing to come out.

His uncle, his sister, and of course many Guan family members died here, and some of them died here.

It is the hatred of the country and the family, he must capture Jinling, so that the people in this group of cities will pay for their blood debts, which is an enmity that does not share the sky.

It's going to be the hottest months of the year, and the hot sun is shining inside and outside the city, turning the dirt into smoke.

The hot blood flowed to the ground and quickly dried up.

The siege continued into the night, and there was no sign of stopping.

At midnight, the Cangbo Gate was breached, and the Southern Wu people rushed into their old capital.

But after the terrible battle, when the dawn broke, the Northern Tang people forced them out, and in fact they were not able to enter the city much.

The Northern Tang people blocked the breach at the city gate with corpses and broken masonry, and the Southern Wu people retreated.

In such a season, the corpse will quickly stink and stink.

The inside and outside of Jinling City became a hell on earth.

Ten days after the siege began, General Yoshiwei stood at the top of the city, glaring viciously at the Guanlian Hall below.

His eyes were bloodshot, he barely had a day of rest, and he didn't have much of a force, just over three thousand left.

The loss of the Guanlian Hall is greater, but unlike General Yoshiwei, there are constantly people joining the army outside the city, and his losses can be made up to a certain extent.

No help arrived, and General Yiwei realized that if this continued, Jinling City would be lost.

General Weiyuan has not heard from him for a long time, and the news half a month ago was that he was on his way over, but Jin An's entanglement was a little troublesome, and he asked General Yiwei to hold on, and he would definitely arrive before the city was broken.

But the city was about to be broken, not to mention General Weiyuan, even the other Northern Tang troops, they didn't arrive, they should have been attacked from all directions of Southern Wu, and they lacked skills.

General Yiwei stood silently at the head of the city, looking at the Guanlian Hall in the distance, but there was no chagrin or discouragement in his heart.

He understood that Nanwu was just dying, and it didn't matter if Jinling was breached, as long as General Weiyuan rearranged the soldiers and horses in Nanwu, the entire chess game would be overturned, and then it would be fought back.

It's just that he will die as a general of righteousness, but it doesn't matter, he is not afraid of death, he just needs to know that no matter his life or death, Nanwu will be destroyed, and he will be satisfied.

In the Southern Wu army, the Ling Banner was moving, which was the signal that His Royal Highness Lian had ordered the siege of the city.

The city is broken at hand, and the moment of shame before the snow is coming, and every Nanwu person should always remember this day.

After so many days, even if people continued to join, the strength of Guan Lian Hall was only more than 10,000, but he divided this more than 10,000 into more than a dozen soldiers and horses, attacking from all the gates of Jinling City.

General Yiwei only has 3,000 people, and it is simply overstretched to defend all the city gates, although the Guanlian Hall is so divided, there are not many people on each road, so the two sides will see the truth.

The siege began again, the broken gates ushered in a fierce attack, the ranged weapons had long been depleted, and the only thing left was hand-to-hand combat.

The gates of the city were crowded with people, and those who were in front died and fell, and those who were behind went up again.

Half an hour later, the Cangbo Gate was breached for the fifth time, and the Southern Wu people poured in.

After another stick of incense, the Qilin Gate was breached.

Jiagang Gate, the Southern Wu people attacked in, and were forced out, attacked, and forced out again, like several times, in the end, the troops guarding the Jiagang Gate in the Northern Tang Dynasty were all wiped out, and the Southern Wu people only had a dozen people left, those people looked at the corpses all over the ground, smiled, but laughed with tears on their faces.

General Yiwei looked at all this, but his face was expressionless.

He went down to the city and slew the enemy himself.

Tang Dao Huohuo, the enemies in front of him kept falling, and his battle armor soon turned red.

But in the end, it can't change the fact that Jinling was breached.

Because the city has long been empty and empty, paying such a big price, what you get is almost an empty city, which looks very boring, but it is an indescribable symbol.

This means that from today onwards, the national capital is once again in the hands of the Southern Wu people, and their counteroffensive has just begun.

Guan Liandian looked at the scene of the bloody battle of the Southern Wu people slowly entering the city, and the coldness on his face gradually faded, and he sighed a little.

"I did it......" he looked up at the sky, as if to the dead people of the Guan family.

Behind the distant line of heaven and earth, there is a vague ghost.

Guan Liandian seemed to sense something, and as the scout came from behind, he suddenly looked back, his pupils constricted.

"General!" The scout turned over and dismounted, "The reinforcements from the Northern Tang Dynasty have arrived, and there are many of them, it is estimated that it is ......"

"General Weiyuan." The scout was hard to say, but Guan Liandian said these four words.
