The siege battle continued, and Li Yu's army had already begun to fill in the river behind the moat, and said that because the moat was too wide, it was also making Guo Yanjun, the commander of the Xiacheng army, aware that the moat must change from deep to shallow, so that the shoreline of the moat could not be reduced after the moat was widened.

Intensive work on the refill of the river, as well as the construction of trenches and bridges, have already begun in the rear. And Li Yu, who was gradually approaching the city gate in front, had already begun to force the door.

After the Song general Wu Xingyou went out of the city gate, the gate of Jingling City was lowered again, it is worth mentioning that the gate of Jingling City was not the normal side and gate, but came down from above. Therefore, if you want to break through this kind of city gate, the giant crash car is likely to be ineffective, and only by breaking the lowest part of the city gate first, and then ordering the soldiers to slowly lift it, can the Tang army enter the city.

Obviously, this kind of city gate is because there are many soldiers in the city to control the mechanism, or to pull the rope to control, the Tang army wants to pry it open, it is naturally easy, but after prying open, the Tang army will go up to hold up the city gate, it must be not easy, because this kind of city gate does not need soldiers to resist the horizontal board in the rear, only need to stand in the city gate and wait for the fight.

Since the city gate is so difficult to open, then it is time for the symbolic work link, and the polite and underwhelmed ones will ask again, whether you surrender or not.

"Listen, people in the city! As long as you open the city and surrender, my son of heaven will not hurt anyone, if you are obsessed again, there will be no one left on the day of the opening of the city! Tang Yue raised his voice and began to persuade the people in the city to surrender, but this voice was not as loud as when he was in Chuzhou, and he was faintly frightened.

Seeing that when Tang Yue persuaded the city to surrender, Li Jihe had an archer on his side who was ready to shoot arrows, facing Tang Yue, Tang Yue was afraid, and he hit the city gate, so he had to let me come up and say two words.

"My Li family eats Junlu, and the official family splits the land to seal it, and treats it so favorably, now the official family is in trouble, and my Li family is loyal to the city and begging?" Li Jihe was silent for a while, and then took the longbow and aimed it at Tang Yue.

"To die in trouble is to die in vain; Knowing the weak and guarding it is foolish and loyal; Why don't you open the city and surrender ......" When Tang Yue was frightened of Li Jihe and bent his bow, Li Yuanzhen ordered several shields to step forward and block in front of Tang Yue, Tang Yue instantly had the confidence to speak, and secretly sighed Fortunately, the Son of Heaven did not plan to play with me.

And Tang Yue's words were not just for Li Jihe in the city, the meaning of these words was obvious, that is, now everyone knows that the military strength of the Tang army is several times that of the defenders in Jingling City, and the siege equipment is excellent, and the army's combat power is extremely high.

And the defenders in Jingling City are outnumbered, and you can't defend it for long if you force it, and if you don't keep it, you will lose it, and you will lose it in the end if you defend it until you die. Everyone simply went into the city to discuss the handover, and then each thought about the rest of the matter.

"Don't persuade anymore! Li Yu, listen well, the city wall of my Great Song Dynasty has no place for you! Li Jihe became more and more serious, and a slightly deep voice came out, and he was about to aim his bow and arrow at Li Yu, who had been silent under the city.

"Did you hear that? It's not that I want to kill you, it's your generals of the Great Song Dynasty who want to kill you! Li Yu didn't care about Li Jihe, but pulled out a knife behind Yi Song Min's back and put it on his neck and said coldly.

"Help us! We are also Song people, we don't want to die! ”

"You people are attacking the city and fighting, why do you have to bring us farmers with you!"

"Let us in... Let us in, you beat yours, why kill us! ”

......

The Song people under the city suddenly made a mess, broke away from the Tang army's knife and rushed to the city gate, shouting for the opening of the city.

"Uncle Zhang... These people..."Li Jihe in the city looked at the tragic situation of these Song people, and moved a little compassion, after all, this person is only twenty years old, and he is still resolute in dealing with some key issues.

"The city gate can't be opened, even if these Song people die in front of the city!" Zhang Ying pinched her beard and said indifferently.

"Big brother... These people have quirks. Li Jisui was a little panicked, but after watching the scene in the city, he suddenly had some doubts.

"The Tang army has been holding these Song people to the death, if these people could escape, they would have fled when they crossed the river, how could they flee only when they were close to the city!" Zhang Ying seemed to see the clue, and said the word indifferently, and the defenders in the city were moved.

"Do you want to shoot an arrow?"

"No, let's see how Wu Xingyou acts, if Wu Xingyou kills people with a knife, it means that these Song people are all pretending..."Zhang Ying woke up Li Jihe again.

......

Let's say, at this time, the role of Wu Xingyou came out, Wu classmate has been guarding twenty steps in front of the city gate, and before leaving the city, he brought five guards to stand in front of the city, just to beware of the pretending Song Min to mix into the city, and the war has finally reached a critical step.

"How do you prove that you are my Great Song people?"

"The villain Wang Er, since he was a child in Fuzhou..."

......

"Shengshang, this martial artist is blocked in front of the city gate, and it is easy for my Datang to kill him, why do you want him to interrogate him in front of this city gate?" Tang Yue saw that the mouth cannon was useless, so he led the horse to Li Yu's side and asked softly.

"Since these Song people can't force the city gate open, it's better to let them in, and let the people in the city know that my Tang Dynasty is not a country that kills people." Li Yu's frank attitude made Tang Yue really believe it.

Not long after Li Yu's words fell, Wu Xingyou withdrew his knife and escorted these Song people to approach the city gate, so it can be seen that these people are indeed Song Min.

"Since Your Excellency has not killed the people, it proves that you have a heart for the people, and let these people into the city and then attack them, will you not leave a good name of benevolence?" Wu Xingyou suddenly stepped forward and said to Li Yu without the slightest fear.

"My son of heaven has no intention of killing the people, since you don't want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, let these people enter the city, and the two sides will raise swords again!" Li Yuanzhen smiled slightly, and his words were serious.

"This Li Yu is still a loyal person." Li Jisui pondered left and right, and saw that the guards beside Li Yu had no intention of chasing, so he immediately said with a pale face.

However, is Li Yu really so loyal, of course not, the so-called soldiers, treacherous, once Li Yu does not kill these Song people, then the pressure will come to Li Jihe's side, if Li Jihe openly kills these Song people, not to mention the great loss of popularity, the court will inevitably fall into the truth.

At the same time, Li Yu was not so kind, took care of these Song people, and sent them into Jingling City safe and sound.

These people are indeed Song people who grew up in Fuzhou since childhood, and in the Song Kingdom at this time, there are household registration records, and the information in ancient times was backward, and in order to ensure stable taxation and even poll tax, there was a very strict household registration management system.

That is to say, once a caste person is enthroned, it means that these people will survive in this small area for generations, not to mention that there are guards and controls on the border of a state, even if they are lucky enough to escape from this state, they will be treated as outcasts, either captured or killed, not like what is told in modern dramas, a low-level farmer wants to run there.

Of course, officials are naturally different, and officials and students who want to enter Beijing to take the exam are all fish charms that prove their identity. This is what we call an "identity card" in modern times

For this reason, it is relatively easy to identify a person as a local or a foreigner, one is the accent, the other is the level of knowledge about the local area, and of course, the household registration records that prove that they are on the books.

Having said that, these Song people all received Li Yu's favor before entering the city, and Li Yu promised in a royal order that once these people took advantage of the Song army's unpreparedness and opened the city gate for the Tang army, they would all be guests on the Jinling throne, and they would lead 100 acres of land and many mansions.

So, will these farmers really be obedient, of course, there are disobedient people, there are also obedient people, "under the heavy reward, there will be brave men"

If a person is humble and has a chance to be a master, who will not desperately want to change his appearance. When a man is going to starve to death, give him a gun, and he can even go to be a ghost.

When a loaf of bread is 500,000 marks, everyone will become a loyal man of "Xi", and when someone gives a house and does what he says, everyone will also become a loyal man of this person.

A few days ago, Li Yu encouraged everyone to make some people voluntarily enter the city for the dead

"The Song people want you to kneel down with worldly authority, and I, Datang, want you to stand up!

If you want to be a man, you will kill the enemy for the Tang Dynasty; If you want to be a general, you will make contributions to Datang;

If you want to be a knight, you will take the city for the Tang Dynasty; ......”

Let's say that after these encouraged Song people have entered the city, Li Yu showed an imperceptible smile, looking at Wu Xingyou while protecting the people who climbed into the city, and at the same time thinking about retreating into the city, he held a longbow in his hand and said with a cold gaze, "They can live, I didn't say it, you can also live......"

As soon as Li Yu's longbow was raised, hundreds of swordsmen rushed to the city gate in an instant, heading straight for Wu Xingyou.

"Oops! Li Yu wants to attack Uncle Wu! ”
