Nanjing is a rare heroic city in the world.

Unlike the rise of Nanqing for only a few decades, the predecessor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Wei State, was a great power that had almost unified the world.

And Nanjing has existed for more than a hundred years.

As the national capital alone, it has gone through no less than three dynasties.

Its majesty is that Shangjing, the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Kyoto in the Southern Qing Dynasty are also a few points apart.

The walls are more than 18 zhang 6 feet high and 9 zhang wide at the base, adding up to more than 25 kilometers on all sides.

In front of such a majestic city, people are like ants, inconspicuous.

Not to mention, around the city of Nanjing, there is a moat system of more than 30,000 meters, and the largest Xuanwu Lake alone has a width of more than 1,700 meters, and the water depth is about three meters.

Such a moat and the city wall are almost equivalent to a ravine, and since ancient times, Nanjing City has rarely been captured.

Therefore, Uesugi Tiger stood above the city wall, looking at the dense Qingjun, and his mind was extremely calm.

Before the Qing army came, he had already prepared for a long-term battle.

Not only did he order people to clear the wilderness outside the fortified walls, but he also transported all the food and materials outside the city to the city, and even demolished the houses and collected all the wood, bricks and tiles.

Arrows, giant trees, rolling stones, and fire oil are well prepared.

The more than 200,000 Northern Qi troops in the city were also divided into 369 and so on by him, each performing its own duties to ensure that it operated at full strength day and night for twelve hours a day.

At this moment, he had enough self-confidence to stop the Qing army under the city of Nanjing.

Even, he was ready for the worst.

Even if they can't hold Nanjing in the end, they will let the Qing army suffer a lot of vitality in this battle, and they will not dare to start a big war again for at least ten years.

Of course, he felt that the possibility that Nanjing City could not be held was not high.

Because the arrival of the bitter lotus brought him confidence beyond imagination.

With the cooperation of the Northern Qi army, a great grandmaster can kill the opposing general on the battlefield with impunity.

Once the Gyeongkook generals die, it will be devastating for the Gyeongkook army.

And at this moment, somewhere outside the city, in a secluded place outside the city, the guardian god of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the eyes of the Uesugi Tiger, Kuhe, looked at the middle-aged man in a plain gray shirt on the opposite side with a solemn face.

The only person who can make a great grandmaster so awe-struck is another great grandmaster.

Li Chengqian and Emperor Qing were still in Kyoto, and it was impossible for Sigu Jian to easily intervene in the national war between Northern Qi and Southern Qing.

So this person is naturally Ye Liuyun.

There was a faint smile on his clumsy face: "Long time no see, Brother Kuhe."

"Ye Liuyun!" Kuhe's expression showed a little indifference, and said, "Is the emperor in the south going to start a war to destroy the country?"

Even the great grandmaster has been dispatched, this time it is obviously not the previous petty fight, Nanjing City may not be the ultimate goal of Qingguo's battle.

Ye Liuyun smiled and didn't speak.

The war to destroy the country?

In his opinion, if Qingguo's father and son cooperated closely, it was not impossible to take this opportunity to destroy Northern Qi in one fell swoop.

Not to mention the mysterious grand master who may exist behind the East Palace, Li Gaoming and Li Chengqian alone are already powerful and terrifying.

With the addition of him and Emperor Qing, these are the four great masters.

The three great masters working together have absolute certainty of besieging and killing one great grandmaster, let alone four ?.br>

The four great grandmasters joined forces, and Kuhe would not even have a chance to escape.

It's a pity that the father and son are more hidden than the other, and now the whole world is afraid that there are only two great masters in Qingguo, him and Li Gaoming.

Thinking of this, he looked at Kuhe's eyes with a little pity.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun didn't answer, Kuhe's brows furrowed slightly, and then soothed and turned peaceful.

Ye Liuyun came just to contain him, really

A positive outcome depends on the outcome on the battlefield.

Although he did not know much about conquest, he also knew the difficulty of attacking a city, especially a majestic city like Nanjing.

He believes that with the ability of the above Shanhu to command the army, the destiny of this battle must be in unison.

Qingjun, Qin Ye's gaze swept over the countless soldiers who were charging towards Nanjing, and his eyes were deep.

He also knew that the siege was difficult, and the soldiers needed to cross the moat and cross the trenches under the city before they could really start to take over the city and launch the battle of climbing the city.

Although the Qing army brought all kinds of siege weapons for this battle, the siege weapons that can be used on the tall city walls of Nanjing City are not simply cast, they are the simplest ladders, and the materials required are very rare if they want to have enough hardness and weight.

There are very few spare equipment, and once the siege is blocked and some equipment is damaged, it will add great difficulty to the subsequent siege battle.

At the same time, the battle of climbing the city is also known as the ant attachment, and you only need to think of the picture of thousands of people climbing up the ladder with arrows and rolling boulders and fire oil, you can know the tragedy.

Qin Ye had long been accustomed to the dead, but what he was worried about was that once the casualties were too large, it would cause an astonishing blow to the morale of the Qing army.

As soon as the morale is lost, the difficulty of this battle will be increased by several points.

At this time, a staff general looked at the thousands of cavalry who were the only ones in the front army who did not move, and couldn't help but question: "General, then Zhao Yun kept saying that he wanted to break the city, but he was taking thousands of cavalry to watch? And isn't it a joke to put the cavalry in front of the siege?"

When Qin Ye heard this, his eyes also fell on the cavalry in front of him that was extremely neatly formed, or on the young lieutenant general who was at the top of the cavalry.

In the first battle of Lishan, Zhao Yun brazenly defeated the Uesugi Tiger, causing the Northern Qi army to retreat in a hurry, and recovering possible huge losses for the Qing army, with great credit.

If it weren't for the rush of time, Zhao Yun at this moment would have been promoted to a partial general who could command 10,000 people.

Moreover, since Zhao Yun came from the army, it has not even been half a year.

It can be said that his promotion is so fast that it has almost reached the point of shocking the world.

However, it is only under Qingguo's military merit system that such a promotion speed is possible.

Of course, Zhao Yun was able to defeat the Uesugi Tiger, although it was a bit thrilling, but it also showed the strength of Jipin.

Coupled with its amazing ability to command troops, it has to be said that it is understandable to be able to have such a speed of promotion.

It is understandable to understand, but Qin Ye inevitably feels a great threat.

He is already old, but Zhao Yun is young, like the rising sun.

Fortunately, he used the power of the Qin family to investigate Zhao Yun's resume in detail, his net worth was innocent, his background was clean, and he naturally had the idea of wanting to take it for his own use.

This is also the main reason why before the war, when Zhao Yun went to Haikou and said that he wanted to break the city in a war, among many doubts, he chose to support it.

Of course, there is no plan to frustrate Zhao Yun, and then show grace and make Zhao Yun return to his heart.

However, since he had already promised Zhao Yun, he naturally would not allow others to question it easily.

This seems to be questioning Zhao Yun, but it is not a challenge to his authority.
