Chapter 672 Attack Jinling
The day of the attack on Jinling City was the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Originally, this should be the most lively day for the people of Jinling City, and they would go out to hang out with friends.
But today, all the people are hiding in their homes, for fear of being affected by the war.
The weather was still a little cold, and Zhu Zhang's condition did not improve, but early that morning, he still came to the city tower with the support of the palace people.
The black pressure of the soldiers and horses below made people's hearts tremble suddenly after seeing it.
Zhu Zhang's eyes condensed slightly, and he shouted: "Li Yu, my Ming Kingdom is not anything to your Tang Kingdom, why do you want to kill my Ming Kingdom like this?" ”
Li Yu said: "Emperor Ming, you have no conscience when you say this, why don't you Ming Kingdom have anything to do with our Tang Kingdom, besides, do you need a reason to destroy your Ming Kingdom?" ”
"Shameless, Tang Yu, you are shameless......"
Zhu Zhang scolded, although he didn't need a reason when he destroyed other countries before.
Li Yu smiled: "Emperor Ming, I think you are also a generation of heroes, if you are willing to abandon the city and surrender, I can let you spend your old age in peace and give you the title of king, but if you are unwilling, then after capturing Jinling City, I want your Ming Kingdom to be wiped out." ”
Li Yu's words were very ruthless, and Zhu Zhang was even more angry after hearing it, and scolded: "If you have the ability, come to attack the city, I want to see how you can capture my Jinling City." ”
The two sides did not speculate, and not long after, the Tang army began to attack the city, and at the other city gates, the soldiers and horses of the Song State also began to attack the city.
There are still a lot of siege weapons in the Tang Kingdom, but in the face of the impregnable Jinling City, Li Yu's siege weapons are definitely not particularly powerful.
The two sides are killing back and forth, and the losses of their soldiers and horses are very serious.
After a day of fighting and besieging the city, the Tang army and the Song army failed to capture Jinling City.
As night fell, the soldiers and horses of the Song and Tang kingdoms retreated to the barracks.
Li Yu looked at his soldiers and couldn't help but sigh.
He thought that with the help of the soldiers and horses of the Song Kingdom, it would be much easier to capture Jinling City, but after trying it today, he found that things were not so simple.
With their current situation, they are afraid that it will be difficult to capture Jinling City in a month.
Siege is never easy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Jinling City is difficult to break, so what is the best way?"
Everyone looked at each other, but they really didn't have a good way to capture Jinling City.
They really don't have anything other than a hard attack.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Yu could only sigh and said, "Let the soldiers rest for a day, and then attack the city the day after tomorrow." ”
Li Yu is distressed here, and Song Kuangyi is also distressed.
The strength of their Song Kingdom is actually not weak, but if they attack the city, they really don't have much advantage, and if they continue to kill like this, the situation will be very unfavorable for them.
However, Song Kuangyi can also see that as long as they keep attacking, it is not impossible to capture Jinling City.
Now that the Tang army has not said anything, then they Song State can't say anything, after all, the main force to attack the Ming State has to rely on the Ming State.
Song Kuangyi joined forces with Tang to attack Ming.
Here in the Ming Kingdom, after Zhu Zhang went back, he also began to think about the next thing.
Above the main hall, Zhu Zhang's face was very bad, and he couldn't help coughing a few times, his condition obviously did not improve.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although we resisted the first attack of the Tang State and the Song State, as long as they continue to attack like this, it will not be easy for us to keep Jinling City, do you have any other better way to make the Tang State or the Song State withdraw their troops?"
Zhu Zhang asked, the ministers looked at each other, and soon, someone stood up: "Shengshang, we must urge Zhou to strengthen the use of troops, as long as Zhou Guo is willing to contribute, there is no problem in repelling the soldiers and horses of the Song State, then Zhou Wumei obviously has reservations." ”
The strength of the Zhou State is about the same as that of the Song State, and the soldiers and horses of the Song State have been pinned down by them by more than 100,000 people, as long as the Zhou State is ruthless, there is really no problem in repelling the Song soldiers.
However, it has been so long, and the soldiers and horses of the Zhou State have not made much progress, so it can be seen that the Zhou State has not used all its strength.
After the official finished speaking, some other people hurriedly followed.
"Holy Lord, what Lord Zhang said makes sense, we must let Zhou Guo do his best, otherwise my Ming Kingdom will be destroyed, and their Zhou Kingdom will not be any better."
"Wu Mei was very cunning that week, and he had to be asked to do his best."
“…………”
Everyone muttered and muttered, pinning their hopes on Zhou Guo, although they knew that it was not very safe to pin their hopes on others, but they didn't seem to have any other better way now.
After Zhu Zhang listened, he suddenly coughed again.
However, after he finished coughing, he nodded: "What you Aiqing said makes sense, since this is the case, then send someone out of the city, go to Zhou State, meet Zhou Wumei, and let him increase his troops and horses, whether it is against Song State or Tang State, he must be allowed to send troops." ”
After saying this, someone immediately received the order, and then went out of the city to the Zhou Kingdom.
At this time, another official stepped forward. "Shengshang, just let the Zhou State strengthen the troops and horses of the Song State, it is not a special insurance, although the Tang State is strong, but there are not no other enemies around, such as the Jin State in the north, the Tubo State in the west, etc., they are all eyeing the Tang State, if we can send people to persuade them to send troops to the Tang State, the situation may be better."
It's just a bit inappropriate to count on the Zhou State, so they hope to mobilize all the enemies of the Tang State, and after this official finished talking about the situation, many people in the DPRK and China followed suit and expressed their support.
"Holy Lord, what Lord Liu said is right, the Jin State is ambitious, and they have long wanted to get involved in the Central Plains, and they are also full of contradictions with the Tang State, and it should not be difficult to send people to the Jin State to let them send troops to the Tang State." "Saint, the same is true of Tibet, Tubo used to be a country composed of small tribes, and now they have a heroic figure, Songtsen Gampo, he unified the Tibetan tribes, and now the strength of Tubo is very strong, they have also had conflicts with the Tang State, just on the road to the Western Regions, now the Tang State is fighting on our side, if they are willing to send troops, it should be easier to defeat the Tang State, we can send people to envoy the Tubo ......."
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and there are still many enemies of the Tang State today, if they want to keep the Ming Kingdom, they can have a good relationship with these enemies of the Tang State, so that the Tang State will not do whatever it wants.
Everyone said this, Zhu Zhang felt that it made sense after hearing this, if the others attacked the Tang Kingdom, he didn't believe that Li Yu could continue to besiege them here. "Okay, send people to Jin and Tubo, and let them fight against Tang ......"
