Just as the Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers were dealing with the fire in Chang'an, their officers and soldiers also reported the matter to Li Ying.

Li Ying also fell asleep not long after she was disturbed, but there was not much anger on her face.

"What happened?" Li Ying rubbed her forehead, thinking that it was the enemy's night attack on Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, the water has gone out of Chang'an City and a big fire broke out. It's okay now, but we are still investigating the cause of the fire." My subordinate said word by word when reporting, afraid that what he said was inappropriate.

Li Ying frowned. He didn't know how he could have such a problem at the critical moment of war.

"What's going on, let's talk about it in detail!"

After his subordinates finished talking about the matter, Li Ying asked.

"That's all?"

The subordinate nodded!

Li Ying picked up a book and threw it over.

"Get out, don't disturb me to sleep!"

When his subordinate ran away quickly, Li Ying remembered that the order he had given before was to report to him in every detail. It seemed that his subordinate did not do anything wrong. The enemy did not attack the city at night. He was just too nervous.

At this time, an inconspicuous floor tiles moved on Chang'an City Street. At the same time, the bricks in many places also moved slightly, and no one saw this scene.

At this time, a cart pulling manure water passed by here, and suddenly the road fell, causing the coachman to scream!

At this time, there were officers and soldiers patrolling around. When they heard the screams, they looked here. They didn't know if they didn't look at it. When they saw it, they were shocked. The tiles on the street sank, and a bunch of people with swords and guns popped out from it. One soldier was frightened, and the others quickly reacted and shouted loudly.

"Enemy attack!"

This enemy attack from the ground was really like mushrooms sprouting after a rain. It broke through the ground in Chang'an City and emerged.

Some soldiers were killed by the enemy before they could react, while others fought with the enemy in close combat.

Li Ying had just lay down and slept for a while, but she didn't expect her subordinates to rush in and report again.

"Your Majesty, no good, the enemy attacks!"

Li Ying took a deep breath, her face so ugly that she was dying.

"What's going on? Aren't there heavy troops guarding the city walls around us?"

The subordinates' faces were also ugly: "They dug tunnels and came up from the ground! Now, enemy troops dug tunnels in many places in Chang'an City!"

Li Ying put on her clothes and said, "How many people have come? Have the soldiers deal with it?"

The subordinate lowered his head and paused for a moment and said, "The siege outside has also started. Master, it will be dawn soon in a while. You go out and have a look. There is some chaos in the city now!"

Li Ying packed up and rushed out. His residence was very cautious, so the enemy naturally could not come and did not know where it was. However, Fan Chao's subordinates naturally burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil when they arrived in Chang'an City. Moreover, there were not many people coming in. Although there were not many soldiers in the city, they had to ask for support from the soldiers guarding the city. However, as time went by, the sky became brighter, and the siege outside Chang'an City became more and more frequent. There were too many enemies who rushed out of the tunnel and were fearless. The situation in Chang'an City became more and more optimistic!

When Li Ying arrived in the city, his heart sank. It turned out that fighting between big and small began to occur in Chang'an City. It was already dawn and torches scattered on the ground were burning everywhere on the street.

Unexpectedly, the war began in the city.

It turned out that Fan Chao paused here for so long not only to rectify it, but also sent someone to dig up the tunnel to attack.

Li Ying was very regretful, why didn’t I think of this?

But the most urgent task is not to complain about oneself. Fortunately, there are many troops in the four city gates and enough troops in the city. This is the only trump card.

On the first day, Fan Chao led the team to repel the artillery and his morale was greatly reduced. Unexpectedly, he made a comeback in the middle of the night. Now the two sides are in a stalemate. This is not only a war of attrition, but also a war that concerns the future direction of the Tang Dynasty.

Logically speaking, Fan Chao's soldiers came out from the ground and cooperated with the soldiers siege outside, and they should quickly take down Chang'an City. However, in Chang'an City, Fan Chao's soldiers did not have time to meet to defeat a certain city gate in Chang'an City. As a result, the troops entering were seriously damaged, and the internal and external attacks turned into a war of attrition.

Li Ying stood on the city wall and watched Chang'an in the melee for the first time feeling that his own country seemed a little stormy. The reason why he sent many generals to the Tang Dynasty was because he was worried that someone would betray him at a critical moment and stab him. The second point was that he was sure to take Fan Chao. However, if he could not defeat Fan Chao because of the lack of support from those generals, then even if Su Zhiyuan and others were summoned back at this time, it would be too late. It is very likely that he would be away and would not be able to accept military orders!

The latter is something Li Ying is extremely worried about.

Li Ying looked down at the enemy army in the city and called his subordinates to order: "Come on, pour water into the tunnel, let me see how capable they are!"

After receiving the order, the subordinates poured water into the tunnel in a crazy net. Many people struggled to figure it out, but as soon as they showed up from the tunnel, they were stabbed into a hornet's nest by a spear. It was also Li Ying's right. At this time, there were still many enemy troops in the tunnel underground. After pouring the water, Fan Chao's move to attack the city inside and outside.

Fan Chao was commanding on the battlefield. A short while behind a soldier was soaked and panting, "Report to General, the tunnel was flooded, and many of our brothers died in the tunnel. We cannot attack from the underground!"

Fan Chao looked at the cannons fired from time to time on Chang'an City, and his brows frowned into a dot.

"How many artillery do they have?" Fan Chao said to himself, but he did not withdraw his troops, but asked his subordinates to slow down the offensive and found his subordinates to find countermeasures.

Today, Chang'an City should be said to be a trapped city. Logically speaking, even if it is trapped without food, Chang'an City will become self-defeating over time. However, after a few months, Chang'an City has always been solid. Fan Chao began to attack the city. Unexpectedly, this resistance seems difficult than all his previous battles.

In the tent

"General, why should we be anxious for a moment? Even if we guard Chang'an City without attacking, if we have a longer period of time, they will naturally give up defense and take the initiative to attack without food. No matter how badly we can turn Chang'an City into a dead city, dig trenches around and lay bamboo on them, and we will surely be foolproof!"

A general in armor suggested on Fan Chao.

The other generals are also advising, because for a trapped city, this approach is the best way to destroy the morale of the enemy and retain their combat power at the best.

Fan Chao's biggest goal in life is to ascend the throne and prove himself. Now that he has come to the last step, he seems more impatient than ever. In addition, he also believes that his strength can easily defeat Chang'an under such circumstances and become the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he hopes that the last battle will be more exciting than relying on the siege of the city to succeed.

"You guys go down first, I'll think about it!"

When the person was finished, Fan Chao breathed a long sigh of relief on the chair!
