Chapter 54: The Battle to the Death II
Chapter 54: Decisive Death One Battle Two
Rearranging the artillery was not an easy task, and it was not until the siege of the rebels was completed in the dark that the needed artillery positions were just being packed. 8.1 Chinese ??. 8 1?z??.? com After all, they are all houses with compact layouts, and it is not an easy thing to requisition and push the wall to tidy up.
On this day's work, the generals who had been following behind Shen Chongming finally figured out what was going on, and seeing that Shen Chongming, who had been tired for a day, was about to beat his horse back to the city, he boldly said: "My lord, it is the last general who is stupid, and please give the last general another chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, if this errand is not done well, the last general will be at the disposal of the adult." ”
What kind of result does Shen Chongming's anger represent, the generals are also clear in their hearts, the lightest ending is to push themselves to the end, and don't want to be a general with a military horse in his hands in his life. If it is more serious, it is the crime of delaying the military aircraft, and it is reasonable to go to prison for questioning.
Shen Chongming glanced at him a little helplessly, after this day, he was also busy with himself, looking at the way the soldiers looked at him, he was still quite authoritative in the Shenji Battalion.
To tell the truth, seeing that he didn't look enlightened at first, Shen Chongming was really determined to remove him from his position as the general of the Shenji Battalion, after all, such an elite division of the imperial court built with a lot of money would definitely not be led by such a person.
However, what he did on this day made Shen Chongming a little unbearable, after all, he knew very well how difficult it was to be promoted in the Shenji Battalion. In his current position, the general doesn't know how much effort he has gone through, and he can't let his years of hard work be wasted because of his own opinion of him.
"Knowing what you didn't do well, this Divine Machine Battalion is different from other places, and how to make good use of these expensive artillery pieces is the top priority. As a general, the most important thing for you to encounter a war is to think of more ways to do things, rather than blindly doing things according to previous experience, understand? Shen Chongming asked, and his face, which had been dark for a day, finally eased up.
The general hurriedly nodded and said, "The last general has written down the teachings of my lord, and such a mistake will never be made again in the future." ”
Hearing him say this, although he didn't know if this was the truest thought in his heart, Shen Chongming still nodded. "Just write it down. To give you a thorough explanation, this time to deal with the rebels outside the city, it is not to beat them to the ground, but to tighten and loosen them firmly in Nanjing City. In tomorrow's battle, you have to use these artillery flexibly, how you can make the rebels suffer heavy casualties under the artillery fire, and not let them feel that the siege is hopeless and retreat, but it depends on the fire you master. ”
"The last general will obey the order, and this matter will be handled well." The generals should clench their fists, Lord Shen is giving himself a chance to atone for his sins, and he must grasp it well.
"Well, think about it yourself tonight, and I'm waiting for your good news." Shen Chongming said this, and rushed to his mansion with a horse's belly.
"My lord, this requirement of Grandpa Guo is too high, right?" Seeing Shen Chongming go away, a junior colonel said with some complaints, and to bombard the rebels so that they suffer heavy casualties, and to make them not withdraw their troops because they feel that there is no hope of victory, this is clearly contradictory, how can it be done?
The general shook his head, as if answering the school's question, and said to himself: "Think about it, there will definitely be such a way to get the best of both worlds, there will definitely be!" ”
Chungkook Mansion. Just when Shen Chongming wiped out three bowls of rice in one go, Brother Erdan, who had not been seen for a day, finally dragged his tired body back.
"Erdan, it's been a busy day, and you've gained a lot, right? Tell me how many Langzhong you have summoned in the city to go to the city wall to treat the wounded soldiers? ”
Looking at Shen Chongming's expectation, although Brother Erdan couldn't bear to hit him, he could only state it truthfully. "My lord, there are quite a few people in the city, but most of them are famous. On weekdays, most of the people who invite them to see the sick are some high-ranking officials and nobles in the city. These people have a very big shelf, their subordinates have said all the good things, and they have promised a lot of silver, but most of them feel that the city is dangerous, and no one wants to go. ”
Shen Chongming was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "So, then you are busy all day, and you haven't invited any of them?" ”
"It's not, a total of eight were invited, but most of them were some doctors with average medical skills, and the rest of the more than twenty, the subordinates couldn't move when they saw it, so they could only tie them up to the city." Brother Erdan was a little annoyed and said, if it weren't for the adult's repeated orders to not let the people be disturbed, he would have tied them all up today.
"So, there are more than 30 Langzhong in a Nanjing city of Nuoda?" Shen Chongming was a little dumbfounded, he really hadn't noticed this problem all along.
Brother Erdan shook his head and said, "There are less than thirty, only twenty-nine, and most of them are old and dirty." ”
Shen Chongming shook his head a little helplessly, "There are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Nanjing City, how come there are less than thirty Langzhong?" According to you, even if there are less than thirty langs, twenty-one of them are still specially treated by the dignitaries and nobles in the city? ”
"Not really, it's just that the price of the more than 20 old stubborn donkeys is very high, and ordinary people look down on it at all." Brother Erdan complained that a group of old things who drilled into the eyes of money were not comparable to Mr. Li Shizhen at all.
Shen Chongming nodded, and directly ordered: "Erdan, you work hard, immediately lead someone to arrest these old guys, and tell them that if they don't obediently go to the city to treat the wounded soldiers, cure them of the crime of collusion and rebellion!" ”
"The subordinates have orders." Brother Erdan happily responded, and the exhaustion on his body suddenly disappeared, just waiting for the adult's words.
"Sect Master, there has been a lot of progress in the siege today, and our soldiers have almost attacked the city several times. According to the opinion of my subordinates, it will not take a few days for this Nanjing city to crumble in front of our army. Cai Wenyuan said happily, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.
Zhao Wenyi nodded, and was satisfied with this result. "Strategist, did you say that the artillery we brought should be used? With the help of these powerful things, it is more certain to attack the city. ”
Hearing this, Cai Wenyuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Sect Master, at this time, I used artillery, and my subordinates thought it was too early. The use of artillery at the head of the city is quite orderly, but I am afraid that the Shenji Battalion is in the city, and if we rashly use the artillery at this time, we are not the opponent of the Shenji Battalion at all. His subordinates felt that it was better to wait a little longer, and when the army attacked the city and the officials and troops in the city were in chaos, Shen Chongming would definitely do his best to mobilize troops and horses from all over the world to gather in one place to defend against the enemy, and at this time, when the artillery in our hands was aimed at one place, it would definitely be able to receive miraculous results. ”
"Well, you have a point. In this case, do what you want, as long as you can capture the city of Nanjing. Zhao Wenyi nodded and said, reusing Cai Wenyuan is still a good move after all, and he is the only one who can control such a big situation, and he can do it all.
"The subordinates obeyed the order, and asked the master to wait for good news, I believe that it won't be long before I can take Nanjing City without teaching." Cai Wenyuan assured again, and at the same time, he was also cheering himself up. In any case, the city of Nanjing must be taken.
It's night, Guogong Mansion.
"My lord, my subordinates have something important to report." Chen Xiao said in a low voice, and even the second brother next to him didn't hear it clearly.
"What's so mysterious, let's talk about it quickly, let's hear about it together." Brother Erdan immediately stepped forward, with a look of curiosity.
"Master Ma, you go outside and keep guard, don't let people approach." Chen Xiao patted Brother Erdan's shoulder and said.
As soon as Brother Erdan heard this, he was not happy at the moment, but fortunately, Shen Chongming said directly: "Erdan, go outside and guard, I want to know what to tell you later." ”
Seeing him walk out angrily, Shen Chongming asked in a low voice: "Chen Xiao, what is this important matter, why are you still mysterious." ”
"My lord, according to the secret agent's report, the thief Zhao Wenyi is now living in your mansion outside the city."
Hearing Chen Xiao say this, Shen Chongming laughed. "I knew it would be like this, but it was cheaper for this old thief. But even if he lives in the house, we can't do anything to him. Otherwise, once he dies, the rebel army will become a mess that will not be able to clean up. ”
"My lord, that's not the case." Chen Xiao said in a hurry.
At this moment, Shen Chongming was stunned, and wondered: "Could it be that there is anything more important than this?" ”
"My lord, Miss Zhao also lives there." Chen Xiao said word by word, for Lord Shen, this is the most important thing.
Shen Chongming was suddenly stupid, and the situation in the past once again poured out of his heart, and he couldn't help himself for a while. "You...... Are you telling the truth? ”
"My lord, you can't be wrong. Originally, my subordinates didn't plan to say it, but ...... I know that you have been thinking about Miss Zhao all the time, but I am afraid that the rebels will be defeated and Miss Zhao will be injured, so I will tell you. Chen Xiao said helplessly, but be prepared to persuade adults, if he is impulsive, he may rush out of the city for Hongyan in anger.
Shen Chongming was silent, and only asked after a while: "Chen Xiao, can our secret passage still be used?" ”
"My lord, since I used it once last time, it was sealed afterwards." Chen Xiao said with certainty, he was really afraid of something.
Shen Chongming didn't believe it. "The secret passage that is nearly ten miles long, how can it be said that it will be sealed if it is sealed? Even if it's sealed, you have to open it for me! ”
"My lord, the war is in full swing, so you can't take the risk lightly." Chen Xiao said hurriedly, blaming himself for being soft-hearted for a while, knowing what adults might do when they heard the news, but he still couldn't rot the news in his stomach.
Shen Chongming shook his head, "Chen Xiao, you know best what happened between this official and Zi Qian. Back then, the official promised Governor Zhao that he must take good care of Ziqian. But now, she has become a rebel in the inaction sect, if you can't save her, how can you make the conscience of the official? ”
"My lord, as long as you don't hurt Miss Zhao, with your power, it's not difficult to protect her afterwards, and you really can't risk going out of the city now." Chen Xiao said in a hurry, excuses, these are all excuses!
Shen Chongming was stunned, and suddenly a little speechless. Yes, with his own power, when can't he save Zhao Ziqian's life?
But the feelings of longing that I hadn't seen for several years welled up in my heart at this moment, teaching Shen Chongming how to calm down. "Chen Xiao, this official ordered you to immediately secretly dispatch people to open the secret passage, and tomorrow at the latest, this official will go out of the city!"
"My lord, this must not be done." Chen Xiao regretted it a lot, but he didn't expect Shen Chongming to be so stubborn.
Shen Chongming waved his hand, "You can rest assured, tomorrow night with Sikong Wang, you can choose more than a dozen trustworthy good hands, and go with me." ”
