The battle report Li Xingchen received was five or six days ago.
The war under Jinyang City is advancing faster than Li Xingchen imagined.
In the Battle of Shuque Valley, although the Han army was not facing the Northern Zhou army stationed in Jinyang, everyone knew that Shuque Valley was dangerous. Even so, it still failed to stop the Han army's attack. Naturally, it provoked
The troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Jinyang City were also in a state of panic.
Especially outside Yanmen Pass, the Han army also set up artillery and began bombarding, with the intention of directly uprooting Yanmen Pass. Letters asking for help arrived every day.
In addition, the main force of the Han army had crossed the river, and the news that it was approaching Yecheng was flying around the city as if it had wings. Not only the Northern Zhou army, but also the wealthy families in the city or the common people in Guizhou Province were all feeling as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and every household was closed.
The whole city has become like a dead city.
Accompanied by Chen Wangyu Wenchun, he walked up to the south gate of Jinyang. Looking south from here, he could see the Han army camp not far away. The entire skyline was covered by the dark camp.
Jinyang City is located between Fenshui River and Mengshan Mountain. The city is square, connected to Pingcheng in the north and Jizhou in the east. It has been a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages. When the Northern Wei Dynasty moved south, the Northern Qi Dynasty later also raised this place as its capital. Its importance
Xing was comparable to Luoyang in the defensive system of Northern Qi.
Jinyang City was born to be a solid military fortress. It was not a very large city. The city was high and the pool was deep, and mountains and rivers shielded both sides. Enemies could only come from the south or the north. In addition, there were former Northern Qi soldiers in the city.
The palace is self-contained, so although it is not as powerful as that one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand men, it can definitely be called a fortified city.
However, no matter how strong a military fortress is, it is not insurmountable, even from the outside.
The powerful offensive capabilities of the Han army have time and again refreshed even a battlefield veteran like Yu Wenchun's understanding of city offense and defense.
So even though Yu Wenchun had made sufficient psychological preparations, he still felt a little uneasy when he saw the Han army gradually coming from the south. Especially the urgent documents from Yanmen Pass in the north, Shangdang and other places in the southeast all reminded Yu Wenchun,
The enemies he faced were far more than the ones in front of him.
The Han army is gathering towards Jinyang from all directions, and the same situation should be happening in Yecheng. Yecheng and Jinyang, which were once horns of each other, have obviously been completely separated by the Han army. In addition, the Northern Zhou Dynasty
It has become difficult for the military to establish effective control over more land.
To be honest, Yu Wenchun always thought that there was something wrong with Yu Wenxian's strategic arrangements in Jinyang. Yu Wenchun was willing to admit that the defeat of Bailangdui was indeed his mistake. However, after the battle of Bailangdui, the situation was no longer possible.
To avoid Jinyang having to bear the pressure of enemies coming from two or even three directions.
At this point, it is already difficult for Jinyang to defend.
In fact, long before the Han army advanced to Shuque Valley, the defenders of Jinyang should have moved eastward and voluntarily abandoned Jinyang to guard Taihang.
However, Yu Wenchun also knew that his brother had his own considerations and worries. If he really did this, there might not be any problem from a military perspective, but from a political perspective, the local officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would completely lose their confidence in the court.
, once these officials took the initiative to open the city and surrender to the Han Dynasty, it would be a disaster for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even the prefectures and counties around Yecheng might change the King's Banner in the blink of an eye.
In addition, the blow to morale is also serious.
Therefore, Yu Wenchun could only stand still and watch the situation develop until now.
He is ready to live and die with Jinyang.
I just don’t know what the imperial brother is thinking at this time?
He hoped that the siege of Yecheng could be broken and he could retreat north into Liaodong. Even now Yu Wenchun knew that the Han army had crossed the sea and captured Youzhou.
As for myself, here in Jinyang, fight for the ancestors of the Yuwen clan and for the glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Big Han——" The shouts of the Han soldiers were like a wave, coming from far to near.
Groups of Han troops came out of the military camp one after another, advancing in a mighty manner. Although these soldiers and horses left the camp from different gates, they quickly gathered together, with countless artillery, thunderbolt chariots and
Siege ladder trucks, etc. all moved forward in an orderly manner among the crowd.
At the same time, from the southeast, a Han army also appeared on the horizon. This Han army was not as powerful as the main force of the Han army. Most of them were lightly armored infantry, but the formation was more organized than the main force of the Han army.
You can tell at a glance that they are the elite of the army, and the banner of "Prince Guards" undoubtedly demonstrates the strength of this army.
The number of the Imperial Guards was not large, but when they entered the battlefield, they still attracted the attention of the Han soldiers nearby, and their morale was naturally boosted.
This is the most elite imperial guard of the Han Dynasty. Many recruits of the Gong Han Army have not seen the military formation of the imperial guard. It is indeed different when they see it today. The generals of the Zhenlin Army and the Gong Han Army felt that they could not show off their faces.
He began to cough softly and asked his soldiers to straighten their backs. Of course, the Han army soldiers did not want to be at a disadvantage in front of such a strong army. They all felt that they clenched their weapons tightly and stood more standard.
If we look at it from the chariot that has just been set up at the rear, or from the city gate of Jinyang in the front, we can see square military formations, with swords and guns lined up, and artillery lined up, which looks murderous.
The generals then showed happy smiles.
After all, it is the comparison between people that can make these guys who have become a little proud because of the battle in Mouse Valley know the difference.
The war horses neighed. Surrounded by dozens of personal guards, Chun Yucen rode his horse to the front of Yang Su's central military point. At this time, Yang Suzheng and Li Xun were standing in front of the map to discuss something. When they saw Chun Yucen coming over
, Yang Su laughed and walked down from the general platform, cupping his hands:
"Yang has been waiting for General Chunyu in Jinyang for a long time!"
Of course, Chunyu Cen did not dare to be disrespectful. He got off his horse and returned the salute with a smile: "The governor is so polite. The road to Shangdang is rugged. I'm a little late. Please forgive me."
The two armies agreed to meet at the foot of Jinyang City, and Yang Su came first. However, Chunyucen did not expect that he would have to climb so many mountains along the way from the source of Qinshui River to Jinyang, so his movements were naturally slow.
Li Xun and others next to him also stepped forward to greet Chunyucen. Immediately, Yang Su made a gesture of invitation, and they all boarded the general ordering platform together.
The map has been unfolded, and the wind is strong, causing the map to rustle.
Yang Su pointed at the outline of the city on the map. Naturally, he was not in the mood to chat at this time. He went straight to the point and said: "Jinyang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers. People have been sent to explore the west side of the city. Most of them are ponds, so it is not suitable to form an array with them."
.On the Fen River on the east side of the city, there are already naval warships arrayed. In addition, there is also a partial division led by General Huang, heading to the north of the city first. However, because there are still enemy military camps on the north side of the city, they can only
