Chapter 247: Tenacious
Once the imperial decree comes down, it will also mean the rise of new families and the growing strength of old families, and the complete degeneration of these families, which in turn means that the balance between the East Palace and the Yangzhou Assassin History, which was originally barely maintained, will be broken.
Completely broken.
In this battle of Jingzhou, most of the generals led by Xiao Maha stood on the side of the East Palace, and only a few people such as Fan Yi were really wavering, but now according to the battle report of Jingzhou, Fan Yi, who was leading the crowd to storm Jiangling City, seemed to have finally made up his mind to stand on the side of the East Palace, otherwise he would not have been so cooperative.
Therefore, after the war, whether Chen Ji wants to balance the strength between Chen Shubao and Chen Shuling, he has no way to control it, as the emperor of Da Chen, his ruling foundation is based on the loyalty and support of all families after all, not on the will of one person, so even if Chen Ji still wants to do anything and play tricks, he has to consider the strength and ideas of these families involved.
Otherwise, it is undoubtedly asking for trouble.
Of course, from another point of view, once this battle is successfully over, it means that Xiao Maha has completely proved that he has the ability to command the army of Nan Chen, and he is more capable of bringing more victories to Nan Chen. In other words, it also means that the wings of the East Palace are completely full.
Chen Ji rubbed his chin lightly and said in a deep voice: "When this battle is over, let the prince go to the front line, which can be regarded as a condolence on behalf of the imperial court." ”
Le Chang was slightly stunned, not knowing whether his father was asking for his opinion or talking to himself, but Chen Ji quickly continued:
"Now the entire East Palace is full of civil and military affairs, and even the next generation has begun to emerge, but it is this Chen Shubao is the biggest shortcoming, this time I might as well let him go to the front line to see and understand, and at the same time, I am also familiar with those generals who will inevitably become the mainstay of my Dachen in the future."
Hearing what Chen Ji said, Lechang could feel Chen Ji's helplessness between the lines, but she also had to admit that what Chen Ji said was indeed the truth. Now the East Palace can really be said to be full of talents, and if you want to say who is the shortcomings of the East Palace, I am afraid it is really Chen Shubao.
After all, many matters in the East Palace are not done by Chen Shubao, and the East Palace has been able to come to the present step by step, overcoming many difficulties, even including the obstacles deliberately set up by Chen Ji, and it seems that it has nothing to do with this prince.
For so many years, regardless of whether the East Palace is up and down or not, this prince seems to be more concerned about poetry and songs, and he always takes people out to collect wind every day, if it is not for the protection of the prince guard of the brigade, and the commander of the prince guard is the experienced general Mao Ximao, I am afraid that when this prince was assassinated I don't know.
And Chen Shubao sent Chen Shubao to the front line, the purpose is self-evident, Chen Shubao really needs to deal with these generals who are supposed to belong to his own system, or after he ascends the throne in the future, he will eventually become his own courtiers, at least the two sides must be familiar.
Of course, Lechang cares about another thing, Chen Shubao went to the front line, and the premise was that Jiangling would win the battle, but is it really so sure now?
Obviously, the number of defenders of Jiangling City and the remaining troops in Xiangyang exceeded Nan Chen's initial expectations, although the situation has not yet reached the time of danger, but once Wei Chi Hui is allowed to go south along the water, then I am afraid that even Xiao Maha will not dare to guarantee the ticket.
And along the entire coast of Chushui, Nan Chen's army is not much, and Chuyang is still downstream, so Ren Zhong's troops in Chuyang naturally can't be counted on, so there are only Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen who are guarding Zhangshan County.
Once Li Xinchen can't hold Zhangshan County, then the entire northern defense line of Jiangling will naturally collapse, not to mention when Jiangling City will be taken, it is difficult to say whether Xiao Maha can defeat Wei Chi Hui with the strength in his hands now.
Because of Zhangshan County, now Nanchen is getting closer and closer to victory; It is precisely because of Zhangshan County that Nan Chen's army is also walking on the edge of the cliff, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be a catastrophe! Even Lechang understands that the top priority of the entire Jingzhou war is no longer Jiangling!
Chen Ji squinted, and a muffled thunder exploded outside, signaling that one of the most common thunderstorms in the summer in Jiangnan was coming, and the Southern Chen Emperor turned a deaf ear to it.
He just looked at the map quietly, his eyes seemed to be about to penetrate the entire map, at this moment, this king who also walked out of the battlefield step by step, wished that he was in Zhangshan County.
————————————————--
"Be careful, boss!" Li Ping held a shield in front of Li Xinchen, and several arrows were inserted into the shield. If it weren't for his quick eyes just now, I'm afraid these arrows would have taken Li Xinchen away.
And Li Xinchen didn't care about a fluke, he pushed Li Ping away and roared loudly: "Where are the crossbowmen, where are the crossbowmen, suppress Lao Tzu!" ”
His voice was a little hoarse, but it echoed in everyone's ears, and it was extremely loud, and everyone was subconsciously carrying out the orders of this young man who was the same age as them, or even younger than them.
Because they know that it is this young man who brought them all the way to create victories here, turning a partial division into the biggest variable on the entire battlefield, and it is this young man who brings them unimaginable feats and glory.
Subconsciously, they believe that he will lead everyone to defeat these damned enemies and triumphant!
A crossbowman rushed forward and shot arrows down through the battlements, while more soldiers came up with sasswoods and rolling stones to fill the place of their fallen companions. The soldiers on the city walls marched forward one after another, and above their heads, countless arrows were whistling and flying.
"These guys are even more tenacious than we thought." Xiao Shilian walked quickly in front of Li Xinchen, looked at the Northern Zhou army under the city, and frowned.
The Northern Zhou army under the city can really be described as "tenacious", the cavalry in front of them rushed to the city almost non-stop, using the fast and convenient riding and shooting has been constantly harassing the city, each time causing a lot of losses to the crossbowmen, and even a few leaning out of the building will be caught by these cavalry who are proficient in horse archery, not spared.
And the foot soldiers who followed behind were even more desperate, they carried sandbags that had obviously been prepared a long time ago, and before the city could come to their senses, they had already begun to attack, although the moat was wide, but such a dense sandbag was thrown down, and several places were still cut off.
Of course, in order to fill these places, the Northern Zhou army also paid a heavy price, according to Li Xinchen's conservative estimates, at least three or four hundred soldiers fell on the edge of the moat, and their purpose was simply to throw sandbags into the river. 21010
