The army of the Ming Dynasty was in its heyday, and it was natural for soldiers to obey military discipline. So even if they were very resistant, Erhei and Hu Sandao resolutely carried out Wu Wei's orders. Xue Huan is the same, he is dissatisfied with Mo Wen in private, and when it comes to official business, he still prohibits it.

All the generals sat up straight at this time, even Xue Huan was no exception, and the needle fell in the conference hall for a while.

Mo Wen looked at the generals and said slowly: "We didn't take advantage of it today......

The conference hall was brightly lit, and all the generals had solemn faces. They all understood that Mo Wen was telling the truth.

In today's battle, there is no doubt that the princeling army turned defeat into victory. But the pit dug in front was too big, and nearly half of Xue Huan's troops were killed or wounded, and those who could continue to fight were 12,003 people. And the Wei brothers appeared in time to save the defeated Han army, and the strength did not lose much, and in the end, it was still the loss of the prince's army.

Moreover, according to reliable information, the king of Han has led his army to Zhenjiang, and with this famous prince in charge, the morale of the Han king's army will definitely be reinvigorated, and the battle situation is still unfavorable to the prince's army trapped in the lonely city.

"After the arrival of the King of Han, their strength reached 150,000, and they have the ability to further increase their troops." Mo Wen sighed lightly: "In fact, 150,000 is also the limit that the Zhenjiang battlefield can accommodate. ”

"What's worse is that the sailors of the Han King will also arrive soon, and they will attack us from the river." Cheng Zheng added with a solemn face: "Zhenjiang is a water city, and the water division will be a huge threat, even more than on land. ”

"Yes," Xu Huaiqing said depressedly, "They can fire from the boat, but we can't hit them." ”

"Don't we have artillery?" Xue Huan asked: "Zhenjiang, an important town of river defense, should be well prepared, right?" ”

He was answered by the silence of the generals. After a while, Cheng Zheng said softly: "Since my Ming Dynasty, since Hong Wuye, the battlefield is on the side, and Zhenjiang has long become the hinterland of living and working in peace and contentment......"

"So what?" Xue Huan glared and said, "Jiang Fang is in ruins?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Zheng nodded: "The guard general said that no money has been allocated for decades, the fort has long been in disrepair, and the cannon can't be fired......"

"And ...... "Bad news has always come in a string," Xu Huaiqing added: "Because it has been abandoned for too long, all other city defense weapons are also rotten and unusable......

“******！” Xue Huan slammed the table depressedly: "Then there is no good news?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Zheng said: "Zhenjiang is a rich place, and the stock is enough for us to eat for a year. ”

"Balsamic vinegar can still be eaten for a lifetime......" Erhei muttered angrily: "Then how can this battle be fought?!" ”

"Hit it hard." Mo Wen said lightly: "Even if you use people, you must also guard Zhenjiang City." ”

"Hey......" Xue Huan sighed and stopped talking.

The council hall was quiet for a while, and Erhei broke the silence and asked in a low voice, "Are there any reinforcements?" ”

Mo Wen shook his head slowly.

"The armies on both sides of the Yangtze River either surrendered to the Han king, or the two did not help each other." Cheng Zheng said bitterly: "After you enter the city, our army will be in Zhenjiang. ”

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses...... "Erhei whispered.

"And hundreds of thousands of people in the city." Mo Wen said in a deep voice: "I believe that the prince can mobilize them, so that we can put all our forces into the city defense." ”

"Okay, anyway, this life was picked up, and it's a big deal to die again!" ......" Xue Huan's strength came up, the scar on the corner of his mouth shone brightly, and he asked in a cold voice: "Let me ask the last sentence again, when do we have to keep it?!" ”

This is also the most concerned issue for everyone at the moment, all eyes are looking at Mo Wen, a trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said: "The military advisor has rushed north, and reported the rebellion of the Han King to the grandson and the emperor, I believe that he will use the fastest time to move the rescuers back." ”

"I hope so......" Xue Huan snorted and stopped talking.

The generals didn't ask any more questions, but everyone's expressions didn't relax in the slightest...... They are all veterans now, and naturally they know that the transfer of the army is by no means an overnight thing, and within a month or two, they want to transfer the army from Beijing!

And with the current situation, whether it can last for half a month or not has to be a big question mark!

Feeling the uneasiness of the generals, Mo Wen slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to be discouraged, no matter what, it is much easier to defend the city, not to mention that Zhenjiang is still a strong city," said a once-in-a-lifetime smile: "Of course, it would be better if it was not near the river......

The crowd was infected by his calmness, and they also laughed quietly, they looked at their main general, and saw that his face was gradually full of determination: "In any case, we have a strong city to rely on, there are 60,000 iron-blooded soldiers, as long as we unite as one, we will definitely be able to defend Zhenjiang City!" After Mo asked, he repeated repeatedly: "Definitely!" ”

"Definitely!" The generals also got up, nodded heavily, and said, "The general gives the order!" ”

"Good!" Mo Wen nodded, and began to assign combat tasks: "The three city gates in the east are defended by General Xu with 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"The last general commands!" Xu Huaiqing clenched his fists and replied in a deep voice.

"The three city gates in the west are defended by General Cheng with 10,000 soldiers and horses." Mo Wen ordered in a deep voice.

"The last general commands!" Cheng Zheng clenched his fists and replied in a deep voice.

"The defense of the river in the north is in charge of Lord Wu with 5,000 soldiers and horses and 20,000 people." Mo asked to look at Wu Weidao: "This side is the most dangerous, and the situation is the most complicated, only you can do it." ”

"I see." Wu Wei nodded and took the order.

"As for the five city gates in the south...... Mo asked the second ****: "It's up to the two of us to be responsible together." ”

The southern wall is long, the city gate is many, and the outside of the city is open, and the difficulty of defense is twice that of the east and west sides, so it must be the main attack surface of the enemy. Erhei nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Got it." ”

"What about me?" Seeing that everyone had received the task, and the soldiers and horses were almost assigned, Xue Huan was anxious: "I said Lao Mo, don't declare your personal vendetta!" ”

"General Xue's task is also very difficult." Mo Wen said lightly.

"What task?" Xue Huan asked anxiously.

"You lead the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses as a support force," Mo asked, "Support wherever there is a tight situation." ”

"Support troops?!" Xue Huan said unhappily: "You are really a communiqué personal vendetta......

"We are already heavily surrounded, and the flames of war will be ignited on every inch of the city wall," Mo Wen said to himself, "We are likely to be wiped out, don't worry about being useless......"

"......" Xue Huan was stunned.

Mo Wen's gaze swept over the generals, his eyes were full of deep feelings, and he said in a low voice:

"I know some of you don't like me and talk about me behind my back. It doesn't matter, because from tomorrow we will drop all our qiē and fight only for survival. After a pause, he continued: "Everyone, I will definitely do my best to let you live......

The generals looked at Mo Wen in amazement, this piece of almost expressionless ice with crystal tears in his eyes.

Needless to say, they were originally robes who lived and died together, and when the brutal war began, the only thing they could trust was each other......

The generals saluted Mo Wen, who returned the salute solemnly, and then watched them leave the hall and run to their respective battlefields......

At the same time as the prince's army was deliberating, the camp of the Han Wangjun was also brightly lit, and the soldiers were all lined up neatly, looking at the dozen generals who were tied up in horror......

Xining Hou Song Hu, Yongxin Bo Xu Cheng, Guang Enbo Liu Cai and other noble generals were stripped of their gorgeous armor, took off their snowy helmets, and knelt in front of the officers and soldiers with their heads......

On the high platform behind these people, there was Zhu Gaoxu, who was dressed in bright yellow armor, and he was close to the generals.

His Royal Highness the King of Han arrived in Zhenjiang in the evening, and the first thing he did when he arrived at the camp was to arrest all the officers who were in command under the city today, and after some interrogation, he gathered the army and escorted them to the three armies.

All the lords and nobles trembled, not knowing what His Royal Highness the King of Han would do with them? It looks like a military stick can't run...... I just don't know if His Highness will show mercy to his soldiers. However, looking at His Highness's appearance, it seems that he will not show mercy......

The nobles couldn't help but sigh secretly, hey, this is a shame, this thing is troublesome, and he was beaten before he left the school, and he was really unlucky to get home. They couldn't help but set their eyes on Song Hu and Xu Cheng, and said in their hearts that you were all harmed! I have to pay for our soup and medicine when I go back!

The nobles were thinking wildly, and when they saw the executioners coming, they saw those guys in red clothes, red hats, black pants, and armed with ghost-headed knives...... Even a fool knows that this is going to be beheaded!

There was a commotion, but they were tightly held down by the sergeants behind them, and they opened their mouths to shout, but their mouths were stuffed with walnuts, and they couldn't speak. Now everyone knows that King Han is coming for real......

Zhu Gaoxu's voice finally sounded: "During the day today, the reason for the defeat under Zhenjiang City has been ascertained. Zhu Gaoxu said, pointing to the noble general who was kneeling on the ground and said, "It's these cowardly idiots!" Let the family have only a thousand cavalry, so frightened that they turn around and run! If the Webster brothers hadn't arrived in time, the 100,000-strong army would have been wiped out! ”

"What should be done with those who escaped from the battle according to military law?!" Zhu Gaoxu asked with a roar.

"Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!" A tidal wave of voices sounded, and hundreds of thousands of troops shouted together.

Song Hu and other noble generals were already scared...... It's really scared to pee, at least three or four people's crotch is already wet.

Song Hu's eyes widened, he still didn't believe that his closest uncle would sacrifice his head to the flag. However, the cruel result is getting closer and closer, only to hear Zhu Gaoxu continue:

"Not to mention their noble status, just say that most of them are Lone's friends from childhood to adulthood, as well as Lone's relatives." Zhu Gaoxu choked up and said, "Lone really wants to ask for a favor for them......"

As soon as a glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of the nobles, they were completely extinguished by the King of Han in the blink of an eye: "However, I can't be alone!" Because military law is like a mountain, even if you are alone, you can't violate it! Only by destroying relatives in righteousness can we defend the majesty of military law! ”

With tears in his eyes, King Han took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry! ”

As he spoke, King Han waved his hand violently, and the executioners raised their knives and cut off the heads of more than a dozen noble generals!
