It took only two or three days for the Northern Tang army to break through the city gate.

However, after entering the city, the street battle in Jinling lasted for more than ten days, and there was still no victory.

Many people say that the city is broken, the army is defeated, and the body is dead, and most of the time is the case, the city is broken, the people have surrendered, everything is over, only the Jinling City of this battle, almost amazing, the street fighting broke out for so long, the Northern Tang army has not been able to approach the imperial city.

The soldiers of the Northern Tang Dynasty were not afraid of death or difficulties, but only this time they knew what it meant to be difficult to fight.

The imperial city was breached, and the day when the army would enter the palace looked far away.

However, the supply of the Northern Tang Dynasty seemed a little weak.

The rich land of Nanwu did not give them more help, and at the same time that the Nanwu army was defeated again and again, most of the grain and grass that could not be taken away were destroyed, and the levy in all directions had little effect, not to mention that even if the supplies were available, a lot of them were consumed during the journey, and there were very few people who could reach Jinling.

The remnants of Southern Wu had a hard time, and the Northern Tang army was also having a hard time.

Moreover, the number of people in Nanwu is not much, and under the opening of the treasury and the backwater, at least the problem of eating is not too big for the people of Nanwu.

Fifteen days after entering the city, the Northern Tang army, which had almost become irritable, finally approached a hundred zhang of the imperial city.

Less than 3,000 remnants of Southern Wu's 30,000 soldiers remained, and they retreated into the imperial city, almost exhausted.

Of course, in the imperial city, there is also the last hole card - eight thousand palace guards.

……

……

"Princess, I know you don't want to see Your Majesty, so why didn't we leave sooner? Maybe if you leave now, there will be a certain opportunity. ”

Xiao Yao, who was dressed in the costume of the Changliu Palace of the Northern Tang Dynasty, was graceful, but her willow eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she looked like she was going to die of sorrow.

She knew very well that even if the Northern Tang Dynasty people came in, with Li Xiyun here, the people here should be fine, but in the face of the army, it was natural to panic, and because Li Xiyun didn't want to see Li Zenan, she gradually didn't want to see the other party.

"He's not coming back, I'm going to wait for him."

The bright red dress mopped the floor, the red lips opened slightly, and Li Xiyun's voice was particularly slight, but it was natural and undoubted.

One of her plain hands was placed on her forehead, blocking the sun, and the flowers on her wide sleeves were so gorgeous, but she looked a little tired, as if she was a little sleepy by the slightly warm temperature.

Xiao Yao stomped on the lotus foot hatefully, looking a little hated that iron could not become steel, and said angrily: "Princess, it's always 'him', 'he', 'he', 'he', that guy has so thick skin, he can't die at all, if something happens to you, maybe he is still hanging around intact!" ”

After saying that, she covered her small mouth, realizing that what she said was very offensive, so she stopped talking.

"I said a long time ago, you can go, you don't need to follow me to take risks," Li Xiyun turned the show, the green silk on her waist trembled slightly, she looked at the other party very seriously, "I'm not a princess anymore, I'm waiting here because there are not many things worth waiting for and cherishing, Xiao Yao, you are still young, really, not worth it, you can meet a lot of good things, you will meet someone you like, find a good person and marry, sometimes, you really need a man to guard." ”

"Man! Man! Xiao Yao gritted his teeth and chewed these two words, "What's the use of a man!" I don't need a man! ”

Li Xiyun pointed to the Changliu Palace guards who were still loyal in the distance:

"If they're useless, then you raise your sword?"

Xiao Yao pouted and stopped talking.

Seriously, sometimes when you say things on the impulse, you think they are very powerful and reasonable, but when you calm down a little, you will realize that they are just a joke.

Li Xiyun sat down and sat on the steps without any scruples, her bright red dress spread out, and her skirt bloomed like petals.

A determined, trusting smile appeared on her face.

"I'm waiting here because, I believe in him, he will definitely take me away."

"Princess......" Xiao Yao wanted to speak and stopped, because she felt that Li Xiyun was stunned, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

"Yes, that's right," Li Xiyun chuckled, "It sounds like a pipe dream." ”

"But," she asked rhetorically, "what is the difference between life and salted fish without ideals?" ”

……

……

Under the sunshine, the blood had begun to dry up, and the troops approached the imperial city, but they kept their distance, because the remnants of more than 300 thousand crow crossbow troops still existed, they stood on the wall of the imperial city, holding crossbow machines, coldly and distantly facing the Northern Tang army in the distance.

Today's Jinling City, into more than 50,000 Northern Tang Dynasty soldiers, they have gone through a long period of bloody battles, and they are about to succeed, although the process is difficult, but they still seem to be relaxed.

Nanwu, the huge Nanwu, Jinling City is about to completely prostrate under their feet!

"I know a little bit about the Nanwu Imperial Palace, if they attack it, you follow me."

A soldier with a bloodied and dirty face whispered to another soldier beside him.

It was Guan Kuo and Tie Shan Wu who mixed in.

In fact, Guan Kuo didn't know that he had spent this way, because although the artist was bold, he had always been terrified, and the thought of being surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies would be cut down by so many people anytime and anywhere, and no one would feel good.

But he obeyed Tie Shan Wu's command so unconditionally, and he was so successful in the clouds and fog until now, he was a little unbelievable in retrospect.

It's just that he thinks that it's really not wrong to believe in Brother Tie.

The faces of the two of them were covered with blood, dirty, under the repeated hard fighting, no one would detect that they had mixed in, and there was no need to return to their own troops for the food they had eaten in the past few days, and there were people who came to distribute it with the battle, as for sleeping, it was to take turns to fight, and the people who withdrew were a little back, and they were casual in the house, and not too many people had the heart to consider whether the sleeping next door would suddenly kill them, and besides, everyone was so close, and if something happened, the spy would be beaten to death by the group immediately.

Tie Shan smiled meaninglessly, his originally handsome face now looked a little ridiculous: "You are familiar with the road, and you can see that you used to be very prosperous in the Nanwu Palace. ”

Guan Kuo glared at him, he was planning things, he was a little nervous and impatient in his heart, and he was annoyed.

Not long after, Hou Yi gave the order to attack the imperial city.
