Chapter 1308: The Army's Heart Collapses
Li Xinchen is not a person who likes to get angry, and even in most cases, he talks to the courtiers below in a good voice, and some things are mainly discussed, rather than arbitrarily and directly ordered.
But the more such people are, once they are really angry, the consequences are often very serious.
Li Xinchen didn't say the specific name this time, but everyone knew it. His Majesty is just warning this time, and next time it is very likely to be a direct action.
As soon as Li Xinchen left, the ministers in the main hall were also relieved in their hearts, and retreated in twos and threes. And several courtiers from Jiangnan families led by Shen Jungao were still standing there, their legs trembling and sweating like pulp.
They never thought that their little caution would be said mercilessly by Li Xinchen at the end.
Gu Yewang slowly walked past Shen Jungao: "It's good to do it yourself." ”
Shen Jungao exhaled deeply and did not speak.
And Yang Su and Tang Yishun also walked by in turn, but there was more schadenfreude in their eyes. For them, Shen Jungao's bad luck is not a bad thing anyway. If Shen Jun goes down, then there can be people from Bashu or the northern faction to fill it.
"Shen Gong, we?" A waiter who was also involved in the matter asked abruptly.
"Let's go visit Wu Gong." Shen Jungao said decisively.
At this point, I can only ask the older generation to come forward.
Gu Yewang made it clear that he wanted to draw a clear line with the Jiangnan family, and Xu Ling was not in the capital - the old man now obviously saw that Jiankang Mansion was a place of right and wrong that could not be treated, so he returned to Chengdu after the New Year, and for him who is now old, there is nothing more meaningful than teaching his disciples.
Therefore, among the former ministers of the former dynasty, the only one who was highly respected in Jiankang Mansion was Wu Mingche, who was invited by Li Xinchen to prepare for the construction of the first military academy.
"That's all it can be." Several waiters said helplessly.
Shen Jungao gritted his teeth, and his unwillingness, remorse, and other thoughts came up, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. Why can't I do as much as my brother?
The elder brother can lead the Shen family to glory, and whatever he does can only cause trouble?
Fate really likes to joke with itself so much, so it sent a Li Xinchen to play tricks on himself like this?

Wuguan.
It was the last day of the first month of the siege of Wuguan.
A siege of a month was not a big deal in ancient times, even if it was a siege for a year or two, it was not possible to take it in the end. It's just that because there is a precedent for Li Xinchen to go to the south of the Yangtze River for four months - of course, in fact, Li Xinchen did not encounter any stubborn resistance at all along the way, and the Nanchen army was scattered and fought separately, giving Li Xinchen the opportunity to break through easily.
But in any case, Li Xinchen took Jiangnan too quickly, so that if the Han generals attacked the city, especially against the smaller ones, for more than two days, they would feel disgraced. And now, although this Wuguan can be regarded as the world's first-class Xiongguan, but it has been blocked here for a whole month, and he can only watch Han Baohu and them hang Li Yan running in the pass, Xiao Shilian's own heart is also very anxious.
But anxiety is anxiety, and if you really mess up because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.
The Han army's psychological warfare against Wuguan has been carried out for half a month, and the military heart of Wuguan has finally been clearly shaken, just yesterday's siege, the Han army once rushed to the city gate, and even attacked the Tibetan military building, and the Northern Zhou army on the city wall almost collapsed completely, but He Ruobi's eyes were fast, and he took his personal guards to kill the deserters one after another, which forced the rest of the people up, plus Gao Xi arrived in time with reinforcements, and the Han army had to retreat in a hurry.
But this also made Xiao Shilian see the hope of breaking through the Wuguan for the first time, you must know that for a long time before, it was even difficult for the Han army to gain a foothold in the city.
At least now it is enough to show that the defenders of Wuguan are no longer as determined as they used to be. It is clear that they have also wavered as to whether this big war can be held out.
"It's a good day, it's a good sign." Lu Guangda looked up at the sun.
The sun at the end of April was just warm and not warm, and it had been raining for the first two days, and it was only now clear up. And when it rains, it is clear that the siege is still not so convenient. Moreover, after the rain and the sun exposure, it is also a damage to the structure of the city wall, Xiao Shilian also seized this opportunity and is concentrating on trebuchets to storm a part of the northern section of the city wall.
According to the information gathered, part of the wall of Wuguan collapsed in the previous battle, and now it should be newly repaired, so the city wall is not as strong as the rest of the city. Especially after the rain, it is obvious that there are many cracks in the wall here. Before, this part was blocked by the urn city because it was relatively close to the middle, so it was not paid attention to it at all, and it was not until later that the urn city was almost bulldozed by Xiao Shilian, coupled with the rain for several days, that this shortcoming of Wuguan was exposed.
"Bang!" A loud bang came, and under the continuous bombardment of stone bullets, the small section of the city wall shook violently, and several battlements really collapsed violently, and a small half of the city wall collapsed, and the soil that had been washed away by the rain slid down the wall, like a stream of mud.
Another stone bullet struck up, and the wall collapsed irrepressibly. Although only the top half collapsed.
But compared to the originally tall walls, this is enough.
The drums are just in time to rise from the ground.
The soldiers of the Han family in the brigade also seemed to see the possibility of conquering this Xiongguan, which had been bothering them for a month, under their feet.
"Kill!"
Lu Guangda swung his sword forward. Today it was his turn to attack the city as a striker, and of course he would not give up such a great opportunity to others.
At this time, Wuguan City was already in chaos.
If the previous stubborn resistance was still based on the fact that the Wuguan city wall was still intact, then now the last barrier in the hearts of the soldiers has also collapsed.
Nothing can protect them anymore.
This undoubtedly made them feel hopeless.
The arrows of the Han army came in through the gap and ran rampant in the city.
At this time, before He Ruobi could speak, a soldier had already turned around and ran backwards.
"Defeated, defeated!" I don't know who shouted.
Soon the entire city wall was filled with the same sound. This time, the soldiers no longer believed He Ruobi's words, and even the bright sword could not stop them.
"Who dares to go?!" He Ruobi shouted, and his guards stepped forward together.
Once the morale of the army collapses, it will be a rout, and the rout of the army will not be able to regather people and pull them to the front line in a few words.
This gut has been broken.
"Brothers, we also have fellows in our hands, and we are not afraid of them!" A loud shout suddenly came.
