Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Battle to the Death VII
Chapter 59: Decisive Battle Seven
was about to leave, but he heard the subordinates next to him say: "Sect Master, the entrance to the cave has collapsed, and you can't get in for a while. However, please rest assured that the subordinates have already instructed the brothers to prepare things, and then the hole will be dug up. ”
Zhao Wenyi nodded and ordered: "Hurry up, you must chase out along the tunnel, but you have to see what Shen Chongming has laid out." Xiao Se, this matter is up to you, Zi Xi can't suffer these grievances in vain. ”
Selangjun was helpless for a while, nodded and said, "Son-in-law understands." Father-in-law, it's not too early, so you might as well go back and rest. ”
Sending Zhao Wenyi away, Serangjun did not return to supervise his subordinates to dig tunnels, but returned to Zhao Ziqian's house with a sneer.
Stretched out his hand to push the door, and sure enough, as he guessed, the slut inside did plug the door. "Zixi, open the door quickly." Serang-kun deliberately knocked on the door with a loud voice. There were many guards nearby, and I didn't believe that this slut who liked to pretend in front of others would dare not open the door.
was guessed by Serangjun, and Zhao Ziqian, who originally heard him pushing the door, sat on the bed peacefully and didn't bother at all. It's a pity that I heard him shouting outside the door, and Zhao Ziqian, who was forced to be helpless, could only get up and open the door. The news that he was blocked out of the door reached the ears of his stepfather, and it was even more troublesome.
"Hehe, the assassin is here, it shouldn't be that he asked his old lover to come and steal the adultery, right?" As soon as he entered the door, Serangjun said in a strange manner.
Zhao Ziqian closed the door, turned around and sneered: "Is there anything, is it difficult for you to dare to say it?" ”
Serangjun's expression was stunned, and his lungs were almost blown up by this vicious words, the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart, and this is really true.
Laughing angrily, Se Langjun asked with interest: "Then why didn't you follow him, isn't it Shen Chong's famous family surrounded by beautiful concubines, and there is no place for your concubine to live?" ”
looked at Zhao Ziqian indifferently, just quietly looking at her sleeping son. Serang-kun fought more and more boldly, "Otherwise, it's ...... He doesn't admit that this little wild seed is his species, hahaha. ”
"Enough!" These words can be regarded as poking Zhao Ziqian's pain, and she looked at Se Langjun with murderous eyes and said word by word: "If you dare to open your mouth again, my aunt and grandmother will publicize your affairs and see how you meet people in the future!" ”
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the muscles on Selangjun's face were shaken with anger, and he couldn't say a word.
"Hmph, don't think about revenge, if I, Zhao Ziqian, die in your hands, I'm afraid that those rumors from the outside world will be confirmed." Seeing that Langjun was on fire, Zhao Ziqian pretended to be calm while protecting her son.
These words were like a basin of cold water mercilessly poured on the head of Serangjun, who was already on the verge of breaking out, and the fire in his heart suddenly leaked, and the person became sluggish.
was silent for a long time, and just when Zhao Ziqian became more and more worried, Selangjun didn't say a word, got up and walked out.
"Father-in-law, it's not clear where the tunnel leads, and the people below have dug for nearly three miles overnight. But the collapse in front was too bad, and there were many large rocks, so I couldn't dig it down. Serang-kun said helplessly.
Zhao Wenyi nodded and said with a smile: "That's it, don't waste this effort." I'm afraid that when the assassins sneak in, they have already planned everything. ”
Serangjun didn't know how to answer this, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.
was silent for a while, but Zhao Wenyi was the first to speak. "Alright, come with me to the city to see how the battle goes."
"Sect Master, the progress is quite smooth, but the Shenji Battalion in the city is too powerful, since the day before yesterday changed tactics, every shot can hit the point. When the soldiers were about to attack the city several times, they were cut off by this artillery fire and the reinforcements were lost. Cai Wenyuan's expression was a little depressed, obviously hoping was imminent, but he was disappointed again and again, such days were too torturous.
"Brother Xian, now you don't have to worry about any casualties, even if the artillery of the Shenji Battalion is sharp, let the soldiers continue to rush forward despite the artillery fire. You have to tell them that only by conquering the city of Nanjing will hundreds of thousands of brothers have a good life, and their families will no longer go hungry. Zhao Wenyi stared directly at the city where the battle was still fierce, and watched people fall from the high ladder from time to time, Zhao Wenyi only felt a faint pain in his heart.
"The lesson of the sect leader is that the morale of the soldiers will be greatly boosted after hearing this, and the subordinates can conclude that the attack on Nanjing City is just around the corner." Cai Wenyuan nodded firmly and said, in the final analysis, our sect leader is still very good at demagoguery.
"Strategist, summon all the generals to come, and this seat will give a lecture." Zhao Wenyi, who was originally staring at the battlefield, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly raised his head and commanded Cai Wenyuan.
Cai Wenyuan hurriedly surrendered his hand, and after a while, he summoned the generals and generals in front of Zhao Wenyi. What Zhao Wenyi was going to do, Cai Wenyuan could vaguely guess something, he heard that the sect leader's residence was assassinated last night, and he was afraid that the cautious sect leader would find something out of it, otherwise it would not have been possible to rush to the front of the battle so early in the morning to inspect the battle situation.
Sweeping the dozens of generals in front of him, large and small, who could be called by themselves, Zhao Wenyi said loudly: "Everyone, I have been waiting for more than ten days to rush to the city of Nanjing, although we still have not been able to conquer the city of Nanjing in front of us, but from the signs of recent days, the defenders in the city have been faintly invincible, and the commander believes that in a few days, I will be able to step on the head of the city and enter the city!" ”
"Good!" "The sect leader is right, the battle into Nanjing City is just around the corner!" …… There was a mess of howling below, although the morale was commendable, but this mess didn't look like a regular army.
Cai Wenyuan shook his head, the sect leader was really in too haste, and he didn't give himself a chance to prepare at all, otherwise there would not be this kind of bazaar-like situation.
However, Zhao Wenyi didn't care about these, but felt that this was the truest expression, and if it was uniform, it would be too contrived.
"The officers and soldiers are already invincible, and our soldiers will take advantage of the momentum, and take Nanjing City in one fell swoop. This commander has decided that from now on, our army will launch a decisive battle against the officers and soldiers in the city! I hope that all the soldiers will work together to go forward and step forward bravely to level the city of Nanjing! These words were almost shouted out by Zhao Wenyi with all his strength, and the noisy sound on the battlefield was unexpectedly overshadowed by his momentum alone!
These words also made the generals feel enthusiastic, this is the momentum that a hero in the rivers and lakes should have. hesitated all day long, looking forward and backward, that was just Cai Wenyuan's style of officialdom old fritters, and the brothers looked down on it from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone is drunk and I am sober, this is Cai Wenyuan's most sincere feeling at this moment. Although the sect leader is right to boost morale, he can't make this decision to fight to the death so hastily, although the defense of the official army in the city is somewhat unfavorable, but because the spies in the city have suffered heavy losses during these days, the situation of the official army is not yet known.
It is really a bit abrupt to make such a decision under such circumstances, and once you do your best and the officers and soldiers have a backhand, it will be a big deal.
had the heart to persuade him, but looking at the arrogant people, Cai Wenyuan struggled and endured it. The morale at the moment is inflated, and the only thing that can be done is to fight to the death. success, the fiefdom and the tearing of the soil have achieved eternal achievements, hundreds, but they are also defeated and powerless to return to the sky.
Looking at the excited crowd, Zhao Wenyi quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't understand what Cai Wenyuan was worried about, but experiencing the incident of an assassin without danger gave him a more comprehensive understanding of the war in front of him. The hope of winning this battle can be described as slim, and this Shen Chongming is so powerful that he once again exceeded his imagination.
is like a god, this is his current evaluation of Shen Chongming. Not to mention the big things for the time being, he was able to predict that the prophet left a secret passage in his mansion. And now it seems that the magnificent Guogong Mansion is actually a burial place that he began to build for others half a year ago.
This is something that Zhao Wenyi thought about sleeplessly in the middle of the night, and it was also a source of determination that prompted him to fight to the end with the officials and soldiers under the city of Nanjing. Maybe the current Shen Chongming is waiting for his attack on the city to come out of the city after being frustrated, and in the past few days, he has also moved the mind of withdrawing his troops.
After all, for the city of Nanjing in front of him, according to the original plan, it would take at least a month to make this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties crumbling. And now, in less than ten days, the official army in the city has faintly shown signs of defeat, which can be described as a strange thing.
Although this is the case, as long as you can calm down and scrutinize it carefully, Shen Chongming's true intentions will be revealed. And Zhao Wenyi is the only one in the rebels who calmed down and carefully reviewed everything in the past year.
Seeing the whole thing clearly, after Zhao Wenyi's heart was frightened, it was a rare calm in the past twenty years, after all, even if he was scared, it would be useless, it was better to calm down and think about countermeasures.
As for the withdrawal of troops, Zhao Wenyi also considered it. Although only half a month has passed, the opportunity to withdraw the troops has disappeared, and it is too late to withdraw the troops at this time, and it is in the hands of Shen Chongming. In this case, it is better to go the opposite way and do your best to start a real decisive battle with the officers and troops, and even if it still fails, then there is nothing to regret.
And this move of his own will definitely be beyond Shen Chongming's expectations, and the only chance to turn defeat into victory is here.
At this time, the final decision was made on this matter, and Zhao Wenyi, who originally had some baggage, also felt a lot more relaxed, and the victory or defeat was in this game.
"Okay, please also ask the brothers to go back and announce the decision of the commander to his subordinates, and break the city of Nanjing in the coming day, and the first to climb the city will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver!" Now that he has fought hard, Zhao Wenyi will not care too much about money and other things outside his body, if he really wins, he is willing to pay as much money as he wants.
"Obey the Lord's orders." Cai Wenyuan clenched his fists and bowed, since the matter has reached the point of no return, the only thing he can do is to try his best to arrange this decisive battle properly according to the sect leader's arrangement, perhaps, it is not impossible to put him to death and live later.
Zhao Wenyi nodded, then turned back to Serangjun and instructed: "Xiao Se, quickly go back and take Zi Qian Nian'er to the barracks to live, and then ...... Raze that mansion to the ground. ”
"Sect Master, this ......" Serangjun was stunned, but he didn't know what Zhao Wenyi was doing this for.
"Go ahead, you'll understand later." Zhao Wen didn't have any more explanations, so after saying this, he beat his horse and walked towards the barracks. From today on, I will live in this barracks, and I will always pay attention to the progress of the war, and I will not be worried about my heart.
