For a while, everyone in the restaurant knew that Jiankang had fallen, and Li Tang's emperor, Li Yuan, had been captured alive.

Zhang Bo listened to their conversation in a daze, Jiankang was lost, it was just a city to the common people, changing a country at most would not affect his life.

But for them, this blow is big.

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, several Tang soldiers who came together were stunned and stunned, completely oblivious to the fact that the three businessmen had quietly left.

What's more, they didn't notice that before they left, they all looked at him, and a cold light flashed in their eyes. This posture is enough to prove that they are definitely not businessmen.

They are all Jin Yiwei of Qi State, and they are all secret agents of Qi State.

It is the most important part of Qi State's defeat of Tang State's hearts.

Chapter 911

Li Xiaogong and Li Mi had no intention of spreading the news about Jiankang.

The capital of the country has been attacked by the enemy, what kind of country are they?

Once the news spreads, only two things can happen.Either everyone should be ashamed of this, and fight against the enemy together.Or there is no fighting spirit, and they will collapse without fighting.

As the commander in chief, the two of them don't want all their efforts to be in vain.

That's why they hid the news.

But unexpectedly, Cao Anmin saw exactly this point and hit them directly where they hurt.

Soon, they received news that Wu County had fallen in the army, and the soldiers began to panic.Especially for those newly enlisted soldiers, when they heard the news, many of them became deserters overnight.

What's even more damning is that the rumors continue to spread and their nature is slowly changing.

It was even rumored that the Qi army not only occupied Jiankang, but also occupied the entire Jiangdong counties. Today's Datang only has a small Yuzhang county.

"We want to live in peace, but they are directly using a trick to kill us, intending to directly cut off our way of life."

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Xiaogong and Li Mi were downcast, and Li Mi talked to Li Xiaogong.

"The most troubling thing now is that in the entire camp, apart from you and I, even the generals below don't know the truth. If this glare continues to spread, I'm afraid people's hearts will turn away. Stabilize people's hearts."

"What do you mean?" Li Mi looked at Li Xiaogong and asked.

"Either kill you to silence the crowd. Or, you and I will come forward directly to explain the truth and stabilize the morale of the army."

"No, if you kill him, you will only confirm the news that Jiankang has been breached. If you don't kill him instead, you can persuade him with good words and restore some confidence."

The two hit it off immediately, and immediately came forward to appease the soldiers of the various ministries, and ordered additional meals to calm the soldiers.

When they finally finished their work and returned, a piece of news immediately shocked the two of them.

Xiakou's Qi army finally made a big move, approaching Hukou!

The position at the mouth of the lake is the weakest point of their iron chain Hengjiang.If it is breached here, the Qi army can directly attack the downstream along the river.

"It seems that we must fight head-on, and we must not let the Qi army occupy the mouth of the lake." After the two decided, Li Xiaogong quickly returned to Poyang to take charge of the overall situation.And Li Mi sent Yin Kaishan to lead an army of [-] to Hukou to help Li Xiaogong.

Tang Jun seemed to be in a hurry, but everyone knew that Qi Jun's move was real.

From the start of the rumors, to now the whole army is attacking Hukou.

This clearly shows the intention to fight to the death with them.

If the Qi army breaks through the Jiang defense, go down the river and go straight to the east of the river.Even if Li Jiancheng can still secure the throne, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably change hands.

The real moment of life and death has finally arrived.

At the mouth of the lake, countless iron cables line the river.Liu Rengui stood at the bow of the ship, commanding the navy and horse troops to continuously attack the iron chains fixed there on the shore.

In order to fix these iron chains, the Southern Tang Dynasty built a city by the river to protect the iron chains.

As soon as the Qi army arrived, the beacon tower was quickly lit in the small town. According to the situation here, the troops stationed in Poyang and Yuzhang could rush over for reinforcements in a short time.

Whether Tiesuo Hengjiang can continue to maintain it depends on whether the Qi army breaks through the city first or the Tang army reinforcements arrive first.

The Tang army had only one thousand defenders in the city. Facing the Qi army like a tide, Li Ming, the captain of the city guard, broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"Kill, attack with all your strength!" Lu Zhishen held a Zen staff, and after the warship docked, he personally commanded the soldiers to attack the city against the enemy's arrows.

As a general, he takes the lead and is not afraid of life and death. It is precisely because of his leadership that the morale of the Qi army is high.

Although the Tang army above the city is at a disadvantage in numbers, the strength of the city is so strong that it is difficult for the large army of the Qi army to fully display it.Even with a fierce attack, it is difficult to break through the defense for a while.

Tang Jun's side even vowed to die together.Everyone knows that only by defending this line of defense can the entire Jiangdong be preserved.

If the city falls, they will not only die, but also the fathers and villagers in Jiangdong will not escape the fate of exiled slaves.

Facing an enemy army ten times larger than his own, the Tang army defending the city had exhausted all its strength.It's a pity that in less than a quarter of an hour after the start of this offensive and defensive battle, the Qi army had already climbed the city wall.

Lu Zhishen was covered in blood, with two arrows sticking out of his armor, and his right arm was also bruised.

This is what happens when you lead by example.On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and you will not be courteous because you are the coach or general.

But it was precisely because of his desperate style of play that he brought a strong fighting spirit to the Qi army.

Liu Rengui on the battleship showed a hint of joy on his face.

The city had already been breached by them, and the city that controlled Tie Suo Lianjiang was taken down. They only need to dismantle the iron chains while resisting the enemy's counterattack.

But when they entered the city, they found that everything was not as simple as they thought.

The Southern Tang Dynasty obviously built this city as a lifeline.

In the past, iron chains were mostly driven into the ground with stakes to fix them.

But in the city in front of him, the iron chains were not only driven into the ground, but also filled with a lot of iron blocks and boulders.

Either the Qi army cut off the iron chain directly, or they could only move the boulder above, and then they could start to remove the iron chain below.

Qi's soldiers are numerous and powerful, with complete tools, so it's no problem to lose such a defense.

But the point is, how long does it take?

If the iron chain cannot be removed, their army will not be able to land quickly.The Tang army in Poyang and Yuzhang must have known the situation here, and I am afraid they are on their way to reinforce.

Once they kill them, it will be even more difficult to open the iron chain Hengjiang at that time.

Liu Rengui let out a long sigh, thinking that he could lead the water army to go south quickly and enter the hinterland of Jiangdong.

But I didn't expect that the guys like Tang Jun probably never thought that the iron chain would be opened again. Such a fixation has cut off the possibility of them continuing to move eastward.
