There is no evening in Lingjing City, and the dark sky is very depressed like a big hand pressing on the beam, as if it indicates the failure of the beam.

Chen Xinyu walked out of Xu's Mansion and walked on the streets of the imperial city, and the people on the streets were still in the same stream as before, but there was less laughter.

"Now the Shandong half of the territory is lost, Kaifeng Mansion and Luoyang are difficult to support alone, once the army in the west of Nanchen breaks through Luoyang and jumps over the Tiger Prison Pass, Kaifeng Mansion is a lonely city, even if Kaifeng has King Yan, it will not help." Chen Xinyu listened to the discussion of the people, and her heart was mixed.

At this time, another common man was also energetic: "The envoy of Nanchen has entered Lingjing City today, presumably to open his mouth." ”

"Ning Shu, is my Liang really going to lose this time?" Chen Xinyu's blushing little face sighed.

Ning Shu was silent, as if acquiescing.

At this time, Emperor Shunning's muscles bulged in the imperial study of the palace, and he was silent, and Yu Min, who was sitting on the side, did not dare to say much.

"Yu Xiang, why don't you cut off this Shandong half?"

"Your Majesty, you can't, if you cut off your own arm, my beam will be in danger in the future!" Yu Min hurriedly said, "Now Luoyang and Kaifeng Mansion are not lost, the Nanchen army in the west cannot converge with the army in the east, my Liang still has the power to win, the Nanchen front is too long and logistically difficult, and they dare not delay, so they sent envoys into Beijing, and my Liang can be dragged up, as long as Your Majesty fully supports, my Liang can win." ”

Seeing that Emperor Shunning's face softened a little, Yu Min continued: "If Your Majesty cedes half of Shandong, the people's will will be lost, and the history books will be recorded, what should you do, Your Majesty?" ”

Emperor Shunning's face was gloomy, "If Yu Xiang is Luoyang, Kaifeng is not guaranteed, I may be the king of the dead country!" ”

There was a dead silence in the imperial study, Luo needles could be heard, and the subordinates were already kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Yu Min saw this scene, he stood up, shook the red official uniform, and suddenly knelt down: "At this time, Your Majesty can only fight to the death, and there is no way out!" After speaking, he slowly lowered his head and slammed it to the ground.

Emperor Shunning suddenly stood up and helped Yu Min up, "Okay!" , Yu Xiang and the Ministry of War discussed to increase troops in Kaifeng Mansion. ”

Yu Min exited the imperial study and walked to the corner, "Yu Xiang, Shangshu, the deacon under the door, has entered the political hall." ”

"Got it."

At this time, Kaifeng Mansion was already devastated, and the defenders of Kaifeng Mansion who had just carried a wave of offensive were lying on the city wall panting, Xiao Yu was also injured and was bandaging, "The secret guards outside the city still can't be contacted?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the Chen army has blocked the water in the siege of Kaifeng Mansion, it is difficult for our people to come in, our grain and grass are only enough for half a month, and the reinforcements are delayed."

Xiao Yu gasped slightly, his face was difficult: "Can we still hold on for half a month?" ”

The adjutant general was silent, Xiao Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Reinforcements will arrive, we can only defend to the death, the Chen army will not be able to attack for a long time, and the morale will inevitably be frustrated. ”

After two hours, the black-pressed Chen army surrounded Kaifeng City, preparing for the second offensive, the tall catapult and the ladder were like two big hands, pressing the Kaifeng defenders out of breath.

"Attack!" General Chen gave an order, and the black-pressed Chen army began to advance!

The vanguard troops have reached fifty steps under the city gate, Xiao Yu took a deep breath, raised his hand, the archers moved, forty-five, forty steps, Xiao Yu put down his hand: "Put!" ”

The black pressure of the bow and arrow was instantly released, and the vanguard of the Chen army was shot into a piece, as soon as the front arrived, and the back was replenished, General Chen saw this and shouted: "Catapult cover!" ”

With an order, all the catapults were thrown, and the Kaifeng defenders had been smashed into pieces, and some were directly smashed and flew out, and there was no breath in an instant, Chen Jun took this opportunity to set up a ladder and began to climb up.

Xiao Yu shouted: "Don't panic! The archers retreat, the stones fall! ”

Some Chen Jun were smashed down by stones as soon as they climbed up, and they fell to their deaths, but there were still people who kept climbing up, and Chen Jun had already climbed up to the top of the city and fought with the Kaifeng defenders.

Xiao Yu shouted: "Fight to the death and never retreat!" ”

"Fight to the death!" The soldiers also began to shout.

In this way, an hour passed, and the Chen army climbed up and was repulsed, and over and over again, General Chen had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army.

Xiao Yu was covered in blood, looked at the retreating Chen Jun groggily, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness Chen Thief has retreated! We held it! ”

The defenders began to cheer.

Xiao Yu squeezed out a smile and slowly fell on the city tower.
