With this kind of momentum, you can be as powerful as a broken bamboo and go straight to Huanglong!

Looking at the generals below, Li Jia spoke again and gave the formal order to march. It was already night, and there was no light at all. Only mist filled the river. It was already autumn in October, with a slight chill.

Without the sun, this autumn night is really uncomfortable.

But at this time, it was not a time to show sympathy to the soldiers, but the struggle for world supremacy was carried out amidst piles of corpses. Moreover, Xiangyang was too close. If a horse was fast, it could be reached in one day. Li Jia couldn't wait any longer.

Under the cover of darkness, the Tang Army's 20,000 troops had begun to cross the river. Flags were fluttering on the river, and ships stretched for miles on the river, almost covering the entire river.

Jiangling City was built on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Since the Nanping army was afraid of going out to fight, it was impossible to attack halfway across the river, and the army successfully landed ashore.

Seeing this, Li Jia was still a little disappointed. A siege was the last thing he wanted to fight. It would be best if he could annihilate Nanping's army on flat ground in one fell swoop. Nanping would not give him a chance.

Li Jianing looked at this magnificent scroll and suddenly remembered the phrase "a million troops crossing the river". Once there are tens of thousands of people, it is boundless. Although at this time, the number of troops crossing the river is only tens of thousands, which is still far from a million.

, but this magnificent scene is so similar.

He stared blankly at the skylight and water shadows, hundreds of ships sailing together, while the river breeze blew through his clothes and was biting the bone, but for a moment he had no idea where his heart was or what he was about.

He couldn't help but think that if it weren't for these Huainan military generals, the landing might not have been so smooth, and the chaos would be the least.

And if the army's clothes were not thick, Qiu Liang would have killed many soldiers in this night battle.

On the other side, the troops from the baggage battalion kept unloading trebuchets and other ordnance from the ship. Within a moment, ten trebuchets had been set up and pushed towards Jiangling City by the soldiers.

Crossbows, trebuchets, ladders, barrels of fire oil, and ordinary faces will be the winners of this war.

Yes, that's right, Li Jia believes that he will definitely win. He is a time traveler. Whether it is in a novel or a TV series or movie, he has the aura of the protagonist and will definitely win. And the gold and silver jewelry in Jiangling City are measured in quantities.

The population will all be his.

He couldn't help but start to imagine how angry Zhao Kuangyin of Tokyo would be when he learned about this situation, and how horrified Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Meng Chang of the Later Shu Dynasty would be.

Perhaps, the slogan of the rejuvenation of the Tang Dynasty can be shouted openly, and the successor of the Tang Dynasty will soon come to the world.

Looking at the dark shadow of Jiangling City, he lined up a lot of spies, hoping to make some noise. He hoped to be able to enter the city tomorrow, and then face the arrival of Murong Yanzhao in a leisurely manner.

"People's hearts are the most snobbish and unpredictable. I'm afraid Jiangling is in chaos! Aristocratic families and wealthy families are already waiting to see if they are shaken. The huge disparity in strength can give them a clear understanding!"

Li Jia suddenly remembered this. It would be best to get Jiangling City without any effort. He slowly smiled and realized that he might have been wishful thinking.

At this moment, Wu Qing, the commander of the Sound Department, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the army has crossed the river, and there are a large number of internal response. In a few hours, we will hear the news of victory. It is a cold autumn night, and the river breeze is particularly strong. We cannot stay for a long time.

Your Majesty, please come back."

"No, get off the ship. Together with the soldiers, I will witness the destruction of Jiangling City!" Li Jia shook his head and rejected the proposal, then left the ship in large strides and walked on the plank to the land.

"Boom -" "Boom -" sounds resounded across the sky, resounding in Jiangling City. The masonry, wood, weapons, armor, and human flesh and blood on the female wall flew into the air and flew around, and dust and dust fell everywhere.

It filled the air and completely covered a section of the city wall east of the south gate of Jiangling City.

Having experienced the baptism of war for the first time in decades, the soldiers of Jiangling City were somewhat unaccustomed to such a state. Facing the attack of catapults, they did not know how to evade or what to do. They could only hold their heads and rush around the city wall.

It was chaos last time.

Immediately, the catapult began to project some fierce fire oil, and then fireballs rushed towards Jiangling City. The walls, the market square, and even the Nanping Palace were suddenly messed up by these fires.

I don’t know how long it took, but a trumpet awakened the Nanping soldiers who were lying on the ground in shock. They slowly stood up from where they were, patted their armor, shook off the dust covering it, and looked at the outside of the city in fear.

There was a fire burning in the dark night, which made the soldiers afraid and did not dare to climb the tower again.

But the catapults continued to launch stones, gunpowder, fire oil, clay balls, and so on, all night long, and they continued to launch towards Jiangling City.

Taking advantage of this time, camps were set up outside the city, and conventional siege tools such as ladders and carts were built.

"Damn it, the Tang Dynasty actually has a catapult!" Gao Baoxu cursed as he watched a huge stone smash down on his palace, destroying most of it.

"Your Majesty, fires are constantly rising in the city and the people are panicking. Now we need to send troops to put out the fire!" Sun Guangxian couldn't help but suggest as he looked at the somewhat desolate monarch.

"Go and put out the fire. Jiangling City cannot be burned down!" Gao Bao Xu panicked and responded hurriedly.

"The envoy of the Tang Dynasty wants to see you——" At this time, a eunuch rushed over and said.

"Weren't they banned? How could they still escape?" Gao Baoxu said angrily. He glanced at the damaged palace and couldn't help but say:

"No, no, we'll talk about it tomorrow -"

"I'll leave matters in the city to you, sir!"

Sun Guangxian watched the scolding monarch leave, and for a moment he had the urge to curse. At this time, he was rejecting the peace talks. Was he still prepared to resist to the end?

He left with a heavy heart, began to organize rescue work, and then issued a night ban to maintain order in Jiangling City in an orderly manner.

It was foggy in the early morning, and Jiangling City was shrouded in fog that could not be dispersed by the river wind.

In the study, Sun Guangxian has been handling government affairs all night, and he still has a rest.

"Sir, the king has summoned you." A servant reminded him. After hearing this, Sun Guangxian sighed and stood up, "Take care of this room. I'll be back as soon as I go." Immediately, the butler urged the servants to sweep the floor and clear the table, and the butler personally cleared the table.

The Wendu case files placed on the table were sorted one by one. These cannot be left to others.

When they arrived outside, their personal guards and confidants followed. Sun Guangxian stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation in the city?" "Master, eighteen thousand young men have been organized in the city, and order is already in place. It's just a catapult overnight.

If it doesn’t stop, the people will suffer huge losses.”
