As the Southern Jin army gathered outside the city, the next battle was approaching.

In order not to worry about Yan Mu's military pay, Liu Yunxiang took the initiative to take over it.

The next morning, she set out to Jiangzhou and bought 10,000 shi of grain from the local area. At the same time, the 10,000 shi of grain raised by Zhang Qi for them also transported it.

When I came back the next day, ten thousand stones of food were filled with military pay, and another ten thousand stones were distributed to the people in the city, but these were far from enough.

War is the most costly and material resources. Fortunately, she has too much money and can support it for the time being, but it is a problem to mobilize food and grass. This is something that cannot be done with her personal strength and needs the support of the court.

"I have to go back to Shengjing." Liu Yunxiang said to Yan Mu, "The emperor learned that you tore up the signed alliance and had already started the war first. He will definitely blame you. I have to go back to help you stabilize the situation."

Yan Mu looked at Liu Yunxiang deeply and stepped forward to hug her.

"good."

She said she would support him and ask him to trust her. The husband and wife should have supported each other like this. His wife is not a woman who only knows how to embroider. She has great courage and great abilities.

"I'll take you out of the city tomorrow morning."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "You should still be careful of Qin Feishi and Lu Chang'an."

"I know."

"Especially, Lu Chang'an."

Yan Mu frowned slightly, "I haven't asked you yet, how did you convince him to come and help me?"

Liu Yunxiang's expression froze for a moment, afraid that Yan Mu would notice something strange, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "If we lose in Lingnan, then Southern Jin will definitely go straight in. When Shengjing is not protected, the entire Darong is not protected. His Xizhou will naturally become a dangerous place. He is not stupid. At this time, fighting with you and expelling foreign enemies is the most correct way."

"Hopefully he figured it out."

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "Yan Mu, three years, I hope you can solve the war in Lingnan in three years."

Yan Mu was funny, "Why is it three years?"

Liu Yunxiang hugged Yan Mu, "I'm in Shengjing, you're in Lingnan, I don't want to be separated from you for too long."

Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang, "Okay, that's three years."

At night, the Southern Jin army marched another thirty miles towards the south gate, and Darong was ready to deal with it.

"Our troops are not as strong as the opponent. It is best to defend the city gate at the moment, defend first, destroy the opponent's combat effectiveness, and then leave the city to fight in time." When Yan Mu and Qin Fei were between Yan Mu, Lu Chang'an and Su Hui discussed the combat plan.

Lu Changan pointed to the west, "Our Dingxi Army is responsible for the defense of the west."

Qin Fei pointed to the south, "Then we will be responsible for the south."

"Tonight they will definitely enter the palace on a large scale, and our main force is still at the South City Gate. This battle will definitely be difficult to fight, but if they attack the city and defend the city, as long as we defend it, it will be a victory." Yan Mu said.

Su Hui nodded, "Don't worry about how the other party provoked, we will never open the city gate!"

"Um."

As soon as the four of them discussed, they heard the sound of drums coming from outside, and the other party had already started to attack the city.

"Everyone defends their respective areas and reinforces each other!"

Yan Mu gave the order and the four of them set off immediately.

When he arrived outside the account, Liu Yunxiang and others were there. When he saw them coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Su, King Anqing and King Suping, the three of them must protect themselves!"

Su Hui saluted, "Although the last general is old, he is very hard and it's okay!"

Qin Feishi smiled, "How amazing, one day you will tell me to take care of yourself."

Lu Changan focused his attention, "I will."

After saying that, he glanced at Yan Mu again, his eyes dimmed a little, and then he strode away.

Liu Yunxiang came to Yan Mu, "Although he shouldn't say this, but... when he really encounters danger, the first thing he has to save is his own life."

"I know." Yan Mu chuckled, "I have a wife and children, and I will protect myself for them."

The drumbeat behind him became more and more urgent, and the sound of fighting could be heard vaguely. Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and hugged Yan Mu hard, and then stepped back, "I believe you!"

"Then wait for me in the city, and I will send you out of the city tomorrow morning."

"good."

The Southern Jin was strong and strong. Even if they were defending the city, it was extremely difficult for Darong. The war was raging, and the city gate was shaking. The opponent's ladder climbed up the city tower, and the soldiers of the Southern Jin had already been killed.

"Everyone hold on! You can't retreat in one step!"

Su Hui shouted and rushed forward, and took out a sword to deal with a soldier from Southern Jin. However, he was not on guard against the other side. An enemy took the opportunity to slash at him. When he found out, the blade had already reached his sight.

At this critical moment, a man rushed up, knocked off the enemy's sword, and at the same time approached one step and killed the man.

"Dad, are you okay?" The person coming was Su Ruqing.

"Qing'er, you... why don't you put on your armor!" Su Hui was both relieved and worried.

Su Ruqing wiped her sweat, "There is not enough armor, it's okay, I can protect myself!"

Su Hui took a deep breath. Seeing that the situation on our side became more and more tense, he had to instruct his daughter: "Be careful!"

"yes!"

The father and daughter separated immediately and went to kill the enemy troops left and right.

On the city tower, Yan Mu observed the situation below and asked the soldiers in Zhenbei to set up the crossbow. This was not an ordinary arrow. There was a Kirin bomb hidden in the arrow, and it would explode immediately when hitting the ground.

"When I was in Zhenbei, did I test it?"

"I have tried several times. As long as I have a good head and strong strength, I will definitely explode, but my lethality is not as good as the Kirin Cannon."

"Is the sound loud?"

“Big.”

"Okay, scare them first."

Dozens of crossbows were set up, Yan Mu gave the order, and the arrows and the Qilin bombs hit the city. Explosions were like roars. The enemy's war horses were so scared that they ran around, and the enemy immediately became confused.

Taking advantage of this kung fu, the other soldiers cleared all the enemy troops in the Southern Jin gate and threw their bodies down.

Looking down, there are already piles of corpses.

The enemy suffered heavy losses. Although there were casualties on one side, they were much lighter.

Due to this change, the enemy was no longer arrogant and began to retreat.

Su Hui ran over with a smile in his eyes, "They are scared!"

"Well, they should be back."

"We will keep it tonight and our morale will be greatly boosted."

"Don't open the city gate, don't chase."

"yes."

As soon as Yan Mu finished speaking, someone shouted below, "Open the city gate! Someone has stolen the city gate!"

When Yan Mu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked down. The retreating army of Southern Jin quickly adjusted its formation and began to attack in quickly.

"Who opened the city gate?" Yan Mu's face changed drastically and he roared angrily.

A soldier ran up and said, "Yes, it's Marquis Jing'an!"

"This old thing!"

Yan Mu rushed down the city tower, but the Jing'an Hou was still shouting: "Everyone, please retreat quickly. We have signed an alliance with Nanjin. As long as we give up the Thirteen cities, they will not fight with us and the war will be over!"
