The whole city woke up, and the soldiers of the brigade ran up to the city with the roar of one after another.

After confirming that most of the scouts had returned, the North Gate took the lead in giving the order to retract the drawbridge. It has already reached this time, so naturally he can't take the risk and wait for his own scouts to come back, after all, no one wants the cavalry of the Northern Zhou barbarians to rush into the city with their own scouts.

This kind of lesson has been eaten many times in the Southern Dynasty over the centuries, and this time I don't want to eat it again.

What's more, most of the remaining gates are not surrounded by moats, and scouts can completely detour.

The moat under the castle is no longer what it was yesterday, and after the efforts of the defenders, what was once a ravine has completely become a river, and the water flowing from the water and the rain of yesterday made it a river in the true sense of the word.

This time, the Northern Zhou barbarians wanted to cross over, but it was not so easy.

And the rain also washed the entire city anew, and the red Nanchen battle flag fluttered.

"How?" Xiao Shilian rushed to the city with his helmet in his arms, and Li Xinchen was already there. Without Li Xinchen's order, even Chen Zhishen didn't dare to pull up the suspension bridge.

Li Xinchen's eyes have been looking at the sky, but it's a pity that he can't see the Northern Zhou army, even the scouts and forwards can't see it, only the unchanged blue sky and wilderness.

At this moment, he realized how valuable telescopes were that were very common in later generations, and if he had the opportunity to find materials, he would have to make so many.

"The scouts and forwards of the Northern Zhou Dynasty bite very tightly," Li Xinchen said with a wry smile, "They were almost discovered by us one after the other, which means that the Northern Zhou barbarians came at night in a hurry." ”

Generally, when the army advances, the scouts will scatter more than ten miles to search for possible enemies around, but this time the strikers and scouts of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are only a few miles apart, which is almost negligible, that is to say, even if the Northern Zhou scouts really discovered the Southern Chen army, they will only have the opportunity to warn the rear forwards, and it may not even be possible to figure out how many enemies there are.

Xiao Shilian couldn't help frowning suddenly: "It seems that this Wei Chi Yu really wants to fight with us." ”

Wei Chi Yu did this, firstly, he also knew that in Zhangshan County, it was already thankful that he could defend the city, not to mention taking the initiative to attack and fight him in the wilderness, and secondly, he was also ready to fight at any time.

Those Northern Zhou iron cavalry galloping and rolling up the smoke and dust, even if Xiao Shilian pulled up the array without their own strength, they would soon be directly broken by the cavalry. Although Xiao Shilian has always been bold, he is not so bad that he doesn't know how to do it.

Li Xinchen gritted his teeth, at this time, he could already see the smoke and dust billowing in the sky, these Northern Zhou barbarians came really fast.

With a sneer at the moment, Li Xinchen squinted his eyes, and his voice was full of fierceness: "If you come, you will fight, no matter who the fuck is, as long as you want to defeat this Zhangshan County, unless you step on our corpse!" As long as Lao Tzu is still there, let them hit their heads and bleed! ”

All the generals subconsciously held their breath at this time, and Li Xinchen's words echoed in their ears, and the blood in their bodies seemed to be boiling!

If you come, you will fight!

We killed from Huaibei to Jingzhou, and we were not afraid of anyone!

Ahead, the sound of trumpets sounded like a tidal wave, and the black-pressed enemy was already in sight. Obviously, Wei Chi Hui did not intend to leave much opportunity for the Northern Zhou army to stop and repair, nor did he intend to give the defenders in the city time to breathe and react.

That's what he wants, killing him in one go!

On the entire city wall, whether it was a general or a soldier, they clenched their blades and looked at these enemies who were about to fight with them in blood.

"Drumming!" Li Xinchen said coldly.

Although his voice is not loud, it has already exploded in everyone's heart like a drumbeat in advance!

Moments later, the entire city was enveloped in the sound of war drums.

Chen Ji didn't care about his daughter's surprised gaze, but looked straight out of the window, I don't know when, the sunset that once shone in front of the steps of the imperial study, and also once sprinkled on Wu Mingche's body, dragging out a long shadow has disappeared, dark clouds shrouded the sky, and also blocked the last gorgeous colorful glow.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River comes and goes quickly, and more importantly, I don't know when it will come. Chen Ji was used to this, turned his head again, and said lightly: "That old fox wishes he could hide from me, he can see it more clearly than all the courtiers." ”

Le Changxiu frowned slightly: "What does the father mean?" ”

Chen Ji looked at the map hanging on the wall on one side, and every stroke outlined on it was Da Chen's country, and it belonged to him: "Xu Ling has already seen that I am just balancing your eldest brother and second brother, if your eldest brother is stronger, I will naturally suppress him, and this is the corresponding reason, which is why I suppressed your second brother a while ago." ”

After a pause, Chen Ji didn't care about Le Chang's slightly changed face: "Therefore, if you want to be in this officialdom, even if you don't want to get involved in this whirlpool, it's impossible, even if Xu Ling always looks like he's settled with me before, he is still constantly being beaten by the East Palace and Yangzhou, so this old guy, this time he wants to hide completely." ”

Le Chang said in a deep voice: "In other words, as long as the eldest brother and the second brother are not separated from each other, Xiao Mugong will not take the initiative to meet his father?" ”

Chen Ji bowed slightly: "But it's okay if he hides, at least now Wu Mingche and the others can still rely on it, and I won't go to fight those barbarians in the Northern Dynasty with my bare hands." ”

"But Xiao Mugong is so ······" Lechang is still inevitably a little worried, Xu Ling has been sick for the past few days, and he does have a feeling of wanting to avoid the limelight, but he is delaying like this, how long can he delay, is he going to drag it out like this, so I am afraid that it is not someone else who will fall first, but Xu Ling himself.

Chen Ji waved his hand slightly: "He can't live such a comfortable life for long······"

While speaking, Chen Ji didn't wait for Le Chang to speak, and said directly: "After all, this battle of Jingzhou is ······ It's almost time to decide the winner. ”

Le Chang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood. The entire battle of Jingzhou involved the entire Nanchen government and the opposition, and this famous general who fought on the Jingzhou front line not only represented themselves, but also represented the forces and the families behind them.

Once the battle of Jingzhou came to an end, the imperial court would inevitably reward and praise these meritorious generals, or punish or even judge these generals after the defeat. 10
