The whole person also fell into an unprecedented complacency.
He had fantasized about this moment for a long time, but unexpectedly, he succeeded today!
But he didn't know that the warships of the Wu Dynasty navy were already on their way.
He is still immersed in joy.
Sleeping on the dragon bed, pulling Xiao Yu'er to do some ridiculous things.
For the sake of her family, Xiao Yuer did not dare to disobey and served Xu Mingdong with all her heart every day. But in the end, she was beaten severely with a jade belt and tortured in various ways...
No matter how she begged for mercy, it was of no avail.
Every time she was whipped, she would curse in her heart a beast, a living beast!
Xu Mingfeng's body was scattered out of the imperial city and dumped directly in the back hills on the outskirts of Beijing.
Exposed corpses in the wilderness.
Even if he dies, he cannot rest in peace. This shows how much Xu Mingdong hates him?
A few days later, a hunter saw him and couldn't stand it anymore, so he sewed his body up with thread and buried it in the ground.
The hunter said to himself, "In the next life, don't offend such a cruel person. Look, the body is divided into four or five sections!"
"Alas...poor man!"
…
At the same time, the warships of the Wu Dynasty navy were getting closer and closer to the southern river.
"General, we see the river bank!"
The lieutenants spoke.
Shi Gandang and Lei Yi walked out and looked into the distance. As expected.
Immediately, Shi Gan ordered: "Immediately, remove the wooden planks that are fixing the warships. All warships, open a distance between the two ships and advance forward!"
"It's...general!"
Boom boom…
The warships advanced to the river bank.
It was at this moment that the soldiers on the wooden watchtower of the Southern Dynasty also saw the densely packed warships. Their hearts trembled violently and they immediately lit up the smoke.
The next second, billowing smoke surged into the sky.
This black smoke has a very majestic meaning...
After the wolf smoke started, in a short period of time, the wolf smoke on the southern and northern borders was ignited, and the black smoke rushed in all directions like black dragons breaking free from their restraints.
In just a few hours, the news reached the capital.
At this time, Xu Mingdong was still resting. He was startled by the sudden news and immediately summoned ministers for discussion. Many of them advocated for peace. After all, a civil war had just occurred not long ago. Although he had rested for two months, he might not be able to survive at all.
There is no intention of starting a war.
Prime Minister Gongsun Hong didn't think so. He felt that when the new emperor Xu Mingdong ascended the throne, he should lead a personal expedition to promote the prestige of the Southern Dynasty.
At the same time, they established their status in the hearts of ministers and people.
Gongsun Hong's suggestion spoke to Xu Mingdong's heart, and he immediately made a decision, "The Prime Minister is right. Since the enemy is attacking, we must resist instead of seeking peace. Peace cannot be obtained by seeking peace. Everyone
, I hope you all remember that peace is created by fighting!"
"I have decided to fight this battle myself!"
"Send troops to the north immediately!"
"yes……"
In this way, Xu Mingdong tried his best to gather an army of 100,000, including the Forbidden Army, pro-army troops, secret guards, some surrendered troops from the Northern Army, and newly recruited recruits...
This army can be described as a mixed bag of good and bad!
It's like a stew.
In order to maximize the effect of this personal expedition, Xu Mingdong led his former secret guards to the northern border first.
The secret guards are well-trained and therefore very mobile.
As the commander, Anshi also made a change, that is, he split up and headed towards the north. In this way, the marching speed could be greatly increased and it would not be delayed.
Among them, those who marched the slowest were the recruits who had just joined the army.
…
Along the Nanchao River.
The Wu Dynasty warship was only fifty steps away.
When the soldiers on the watchtower saw the dragon flag of the Wu Dynasty, they were all confused and looked at each other... The northern neighbor of the Southern Dynasty was Soochow. They thought it was the army of Soochow, but who would have thought that it was not, but the Wu Dynasty...
…
"Quickly, send a message to the general at Yangguan, saying that the Wu Dynasty army is invading!"
"yes!"
The messenger troops headed to Yangguan as quickly as possible.
Yangguan is the first pass in the north, but it is not the most important pass.
Shi Gan took this side and said in a deep voice: "I think it's time to start!"
Lei Yi nodded and said: "I will take down all these watchtowers right now!"
"good……"
Lei Yi waved his hand, "Pioneer Battalion, advance with me!"
"yes!"
Among them, more than ten warships advanced.
Walking mightily.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty on the watchtower also put their long arrows on their bowstrings and prepared for battle. The moment the warship approached, a dense rain of arrows hit the Wu Dynasty warship and flew past it.
came out, and in the next second, tons of thorns hit the hull of the ship, without causing any splash.
Opposite the Wu Dynasty warship, there were six watchtowers. These towers could only serve as surveillance and could not be used for defense. Therefore, after being locked by twelve large arrows, these watchtowers were ruthlessly smashed through by lightning and flint.
, all the people above were shot dead on the spot, which was quite embarrassing...
Lei Yi gave the order, the ship docked at the shore, and then landed.
Because there are no defenses on land, they can easily advance in formation.
The river bank was ten miles away from Yangguan, and Lei Yi personally led the advance.
In a short time, they arrived outside the pass. The troops arrayed in formation were all fierce and powerful, giving people the feeling of swallowing up mountains and rivers thousands of miles away.
When the general guarding Yangguan saw this, his heart trembled violently, and his face darkened. He did not expect that the momentum of the Wu Dynasty's army was so strong.
To be honest, I felt unsure and a little scared.
Lei Yi ordered the deputy vanguard beside him to shout, "General Yangguan, listen carefully. The Wu Dynasty's 100,000 troops have passed through the border. Open the city and surrender quickly!"
"Otherwise, you will die without a burial place!"
When General Yangguan heard this, his heart beat even harder and his face looked a little ugly.
Now, there are only 5,000 people in Yangguan, so how can they be the opponent of the Wu Dynasty army? As the saying goes, there is no possibility of comparison!
Weng Shao stiffened his face and said, "I heard that the Wu Dynasty's army was very powerful. How could we, five thousand people, be able to withstand such an army?"
"this……"
The adjutants around him also grimaced, feeling that this battle was lost before it even started.
Before the pass, Lei Yi saw that they didn't respond, so he asked the people around him to shoot the Southern Dynasty Dragon Flag with a three-bow crossbow. The big arrow with a thick arm was pierced on the flagpole, and there was a click, and the dragon flag broke...
When Weng Shao and others saw this, their hearts jumped fiercely, "Fuck!"
"this……"
Lei Yi has decided to attack the city.
Order a hundred and three crossbows to aim at the city gate and fire!
After one wave, the wooden door had no reaction, but after the second wave, cracks appeared on it. After the third wave, a gap the size of an urn was poked into the wooden door, and then two more waves were fired, and the city gate cracked...
