The next morning, Qiuhua rode at full speed, bringing with him the deputy general of the Golden Armor Army, Jiang Siyou, and a thousand soldiers, to Yuanping Town.
Jiang Siyou was responsible for escorting food and fodder.
Ye Xinran handed the food and grass here to Jiang Siyou and Xu Cheng, and Qiuhua also stayed to help. Ye Xinran rode a fast horse and rushed to Yanjing City alone.
Her mood was complicated at the moment.
In her previous life, she was a military doctor, and was used to seeing wars and life and death. After coming to this ancient time and having such a long and comfortable life, she almost forgot that wars were always there. They never stopped for a moment.
She wants to set foot on that territory once again.
…
At this time, the Jin Dynasty had already captured the city of Yanjing, and Gu Yanming and his men were still a step too late.
Gu Yanming held a telescope and looked at the high walls of Yanjing City, Tuoba Yan's smug face and the fluttering flags of the Jin army. His face was cold.
"Tuoba Yan, you asked for this. Since you dared to come here, don't even think about going back!" Gu Yanming said coldly.
At this time, Tuoba Yan also saw Gu Yanming, who was wearing black armor and the big word "Wu" on the military flag next to him, standing in front of the Daliang army.
He frowned and said to the general Ha Keqi beside him, "Isn't Gu Yanming in exile? Moreover, he was poisoned and unconscious. How come he came back so soon?"
Ha Keqi was also puzzled and shook his head, "People in the Central Plains are full of tricks. Maybe the poisoning before was fake?"
Tuoba Yan nodded, with a hint of worry in his heart, "Since Gu Yanming is here, we can no longer take it lightly. We can't deal with him the same way we dealt with King Wensheng and Emperor Daliang!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I understand!" Hakeqi nodded.
After giving a few more instructions, Tuoba Yan looked at the endless army outside the city wall, turned around and left with a bad look on his face.
He was afraid that he couldn't defend Yanjing City, so he had to quickly take away all the benefits he could get. Even if he was forced to withdraw from Yanjing City later, it would not be a loss.
Gu Yanming's side.
The troops of the former emperor and King Wensheng that were subjugated these days, plus the scattered soldiers that were collected along the way and the Golden Armored Army that arrived one after another, totaled a total of 300,000 troops.
But a siege war cannot be won by having more people. Blindly attacking the city will only cost lives. Gu Yanming would naturally not do that.
Gu Yanming summoned all the generals, and they sat in the military tent to discuss the next siege.
Gu Yanming sat in the middle of the first seat. Both sides were filled with people.
It is easy to see that those on the left are generals of the Golden Armored Army. Although their armors are worn and weathered, they still have straight backs, are vigorous and full of energy.
No one dared to look down on them, because they were all experienced, even though they had been suppressed and excluded before, and even had no food to eat.
On the right are the generals before the emperor and the generals of King Wensheng. Although the two sides had fought fiercely before, when foreign invaders invaded, both sides chose to unite to face the outside world.
Those generals who were confused and wanted to negotiate terms with Gu Yanming had their armor stripped off and were beaten with sticks in front of all the soldiers. They were either killed or thrown out of the barracks.
The rest are soldiers who still understand the righteousness of the country.
Besides, King Wensheng was already dead, and the emperor didn’t know whether he was dead or alive. He had done so many shameful things that everyone just assumed he was dead.
The remaining two sons of the late emperor are both useless.
It can be said that in the entire Daliang, only King Wucheng can take the lead and lead them to attack the Dajin army and prevent foreign invasion.
"Everyone, tell me how to fight this battle!"
Gu Yanming had a stern look on his face, and he was wearing black armor. He sat upright, with a majestic and cold aura that made everyone below him serious and not daring to be negligent.
Zhao Lian, a deputy general in the Golden Armor Army, replied first.
"Yanjing City is a heavy city with high walls, so it is not easy to attack directly. I have already found out that the Jin army also has an insider. They opened the south gate and then attacked! I don't know if our people in Yanjing City can help..."
The meaning is very clear, they also want to cooperate internally and externally!
Another deputy general, Sun Bang, frowned and shook his head.
"The people of the Great Jin are not stupid. Since they entered the city with the help of an insider, they would have noticed this. The four city gates are probably guarded by people of the Great Jin.
It’s hard for our people to get close. The Jin Dynasty will never let us take advantage of it again! This road is probably not feasible!"
"It's possible that our people will be discovered before they even get close to the city gate!"
Everyone nodded.
Gu Yanming frowned, as if thinking about something.
A general sitting on the right spoke at this time. He was Liu Ya, a general before the emperor.
"I have thought of a way, but I wonder if it will work!"
Everyone looked at him.
Gu Yanming nodded, "You go ahead."
"In fact, we can use the river in Yanjing City!" Liu Ya said.
Everyone was puzzled.
"Are you talking about the moat? The bottom of the moat should also be protected! It's not easy to get in!"
"Moreover, the moat is several feet deep and people generally can't go down." Someone raised an objection.
"I have lived in Yanjing City since I was a child. I have always loved swimming and I know a little about the moat of Yanjing City. There is a gap under the river near the north gate that two people can pass through. If we send a small team of elite soldiers to secretly swim in along the river at night, kill the soldiers inside the city gate, and open the city gate!"
Everyone started whispering to each other, and Gu Yanming was also thinking about the possibility of this matter.
"You need to be very good at swimming!"
"You have to be good at martial arts, after all, we don't know what's going on inside the city gate! Don't let yourself get ambushed!"
"If you want to go, you have to go in the late night, when people are the sleepiest!"
"We have to provide good cover. It will be a problem to get close to the city wall. There are also many people patrolling the city wall every twelve hours."
Gu Yanming thought for a moment and said, "Liu Ya, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, keep it low-key and confidential."
Liu Ya was startled. He didn't expect King Wucheng to trust him so much. He quickly bowed and responded. He was a little excited.
In the past, although he was a deputy general in the army, he had little say and they just did what the generals above said. Today, he tried it out and made a suggestion. Unexpectedly, it was adopted and he could take the lead.
He felt that the decision to follow King Wucheng was the right one!
…
In the city of Yanjing, Daliang's soldiers were dead or wounded. The dead were piled up in the streets and alleys. The wounded were driven to the open space in the center of the city by the Jin people, and sat on the ground, under close guard by the Jin people.
Tuoba Yan looked down at the defeated soldiers with the attitude of a victor. Next to him was a woman in a white dress, with a beauty like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
