Throughout the ages, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and the old people are always gradually replaced by new people on this stage, except for a few old guys who are reluctant to leave, most of the time young people slowly take over the burden.

On this day, the head of the Mu family can be regarded as truly delegating power and handing over the Mu family to Mu Ying.

In fact, not only the Mu family, but also the Ji family of the Dajin royal family, the Ye family of the Chen Guogong Mansion, and the newly rising Jing'an Hou Mansion, these forces are slowly getting younger, and this world will eventually be taken over by these young people.

Mu Ying led 20,000 people to attack the west of Jincheng for a whole day, although they were not able to defeat Jincheng in one day, they could clearly feel that there was no very strong resistance in Jincheng.

At the same time, Ye Mao, the little grandfather who was also following the siege in the east of Jincheng City, also encountered the same problem, the guard strength of Jincheng was too weak, and the little grandfather even had an illusion, he felt that as long as he worked harder, he could take Jincheng.

However, when it was about to be dusk, the voice of Ming Jin sounded in the camp of the forbidden army at the right time, the little grandfather was an excellent soldier who abided by military discipline very much, and after hearing Ming Jin, he almost did not hesitate at all, and withdrew his troops back to the camp.

After returning to the camp, he found Li Xin as soon as possible, lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "General, this Jincheng seems to be a little weird. ”

The Marquis of Jing'an sat in the handsome tent and glanced at Ye Mao for a long time.

"What weird."

Ye Mao said in a deep voice: "The Pingnan army defending the city in Jincheng seems to be ...... Not a lot. ”

"The last general even feels today that as long as the attack is more violent, he will be able to break Jincheng today, if it weren't for the fear that there might be ambushes in the city, the last general should already be in Jincheng City by now."

Li Xin smiled and said: "You can think of ambushes, and if you don't rush into it recklessly, it is your progress, and Master Ye will be very pleased when he hears your words." ”

Ye Mao bowed his head and said, "What does the general mean?" ”

"Jincheng's performance, there may be ambushes in the city, but it may also be for another reason, today you attack the east city gate, at the same time, a rebel army from Hanzhou is attacking the west city gate, under the attack on both sides, Jincheng will inevitably be a little weak."

"The West Gate is ...... for someone else to attack the city"

Someone was attacking Jincheng at the same time, and Ye Mao, as the vanguard of the siege, naturally couldn't be unaware, but he thought that Li Xin had divided his troops to attack the city in Xicheng, so he didn't ask anything.

The little grandfather glanced up at Li Xin, then took a deep breath and said, "General, what is this Hanzhou rebel army...... Where did it come from? ”

Li Xin glanced at him lightly.

"You promised me that this time you will only do it and not ask."

"After the victory in the southwest, I will give you an answer when I return to the capital."

Ye Mao bowed his head silently, didn't ask any questions, but said in a deep voice: "Then tomorrow, how should we attack the city?" ”

"Try it for three days."

The Marquis of Jing'an said slowly: "Although there is help from the Hanzhou Righteous Army, it is inevitable that there will be fraud in Jincheng, let's wait and see for a few days." ”

Ye Mao lowered his head and clenched his fists.

"The last will obey."

He slowly retreated.

What this little grandfather didn't know was that three days was the time agreed between Li Xin and Li Shen, and the forbidden army would attack the city for three days, and after three days, Li Shen would open the city and surrender.

In other words, the little grandfather may not have exerted his strength after three days, and Jincheng will be gone.

Of course, it is also possible that the general of the Zhu State deliberately showed weakness and introduced Li Xin and the Hanzhou rebels into the city, and then fought to the death.

However, this probability is very low.

Because Jincheng is the base camp of the Pingnan Army, if there is a street battle in Jincheng, many innocent people will die in vain.

Moreover, with Li Xin's character, he would not easily enter the city until he confirmed his absolute safety, and if Li Shen really set up an ambush, it was very likely that he would lose Li Xin's trust, and the Pingnan army would lose its last way of life.

The Marquis of Jing'an held his hands behind, and his eyes did not look at Jincheng, but looked in the direction of the Sword Pavilion.

Nowadays, the most important problem in the southwest is that the Sword Pavilion is suitable to break through, if the Sword Pavilion is broken by Ye Ming, the entire southwest will no longer be left to Li Xin's tricks.

………………

Sword Gate Pass.

Outside the Sword Gate, Ye Shaobao was holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, looking at the Sword Gate Pass not far away, his face turned dark.

The Pingnan army of the Sword Pavilion only had about 30,000, and with this pass, he had blocked his army of nearly 100,000 for several months!

Especially in the recent period, after he received Li Xin's information, he began to storm the Jianmen Pass, and after more than a month, the Jianmen Pass was crumbling, but the people under him also suffered heavy losses.

It used to be in the early 90,000s, but now it is less than 50,000.

This is still because of the reason for the disinfection of Zhurong wine, many forbidden soldiers were injured but did not die, if there was no Zhurong wine, Ye Ming's department would really be like Li Shen said, more than half of the casualties!

General Ye was very angry, he looked at the Sword Gate Pass in front of him viciously, and said angrily: "When this Sword Gate Pass is broken, none of Li Yan's subordinates will survive!" ”

No matter how cold-blooded the general is, tens of thousands of people have died under his command in a few months, and he will inevitably be angry, and he will eventually vent this anger.

And the place after breaking the city or breaking the pass will become a place for them to vent.

Ye Ming's subordinates were the king's divisions, and it was impossible for them to make such a move as slaughtering the city, but they could refuse to be captured and kill the Pingnan army under Li Yan's command cleanly.

Just when the Marquis of Jing'an, who was in the distance, began to attack Jincheng, General Ye also had a cold face and waved his hand to his subordinates.

"Pass my general order, launch the last siege, no matter what, within three days, you must take the Sword Gate Pass!"

The forbidden army also became angry at this time, and after receiving Ye Ming's military order, they immediately began to attack Jianmen Pass.

The black-pressed forbidden army began to surge like a sword gate.

Li Yan, who is the number two person in the Pingnan Army, is now on the tower of Jianmen Pass, looking at the forbidden army rushing over from afar, and his heart is powerless.

At this time, both Ye Ming and Li Yan knew in their hearts that the Sword Gate could not hold on.

There is no other reason, because it has already "run out of ammunition".

The Sword Gate Pass has been fighting for several months, not to mention any supplies, and there is no personnel to replenish, after a few months, Ye Ming's department has been lost in half, and the defenders of the Sword Pavilion are even more miserable, at this time, the Pingnan Army in the Sword Pavilion is less than 5,000 people.

Almost everyone was injured.

There were no supplies to defend the city, no supplies, and even military rations became difficult.

Li Yan, who was a big man, stood on the tower of Jianmen Pass, quietly watching the forbidden army of the imperial court that rushed over again.

Li Yan is a person with high personal strength, and according to the Pingnan army, he is the first fierce general in the southwest.

Li Shen threw him here because he believed that even if the Sword Pavilion was broken, Li Yan would be able to escape easily and not die here.

But Li Yan didn't choose to leave, he closed his eyes, and his voice was like thunder.

"Fetch my horse."

His personal guard handed over a horse lance with some hesitation, and said in a trembling voice: "General, you better go back to Jincheng first, and then make plans......

"You shouldn't have died here."

Li Yanyan took the horse lance in his hand, got on his horse, and glanced at the guard lightly.

"The Sword Pavilion is broken, what's the use of me going back to Jincheng?"

He looked up at the Forbidden Army in the distance and took a deep breath.

"I can't run away from the trouble I have provoked."
