Looking at Gangneung City in front of him, Pei Zilie had a toothache.

This father-in-law of mine is really giving face.

Pei Zilie, as the general of Shu Han's expedition to the south, led the soldiers and horses from Xiangyang to the south, and this road of soldiers and horses was brought into Shu by Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie, although a lot of new soldiers were added, but the combat power was definitely one of the first among these armies, at least much better than the army of those veterans under Li Xinchen.

Li Xinchen handed over such a main force full of old troops to Pei Zilie, of course, he didn't let Pei Zilie come to relax, Jiangling and Yingzhou are two hard nails. But Pei Zilie is still confident that he will win it.

But before Pei Zilie advanced to Jiangling City step by step, Li Xinchen had broken through Yiling and led the army to Xiangzhou. And Li Xinchen himself was also reorganizing his troops and horses in Xiangzhou and preparing to advance eastward.

However, as the strongest and first Xiangyang army among the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, at this time, they stopped under Jiangling City, and could only watch the rest of the generals lead the army to march forward, which made everyone very helpless, especially Chen Zhishen, who was the most short-tempered, and it was not a time to shout that he wanted to go to the city in person as a striker.

But no matter what Chen Zhishen said, he was already the general of the imperial court, if he really had an accident, the blow to morale would be self-evident, and Pei Zilie would not dare to let him go into battle like before.

So the current situation is a little weird, Li Xinchen is gearing up to go straight to Jiangnan, but behind him, here in Jiangling, the war is not over yet.

Pei Zilie did not show mercy to Xiao Maha because he was his father-in-law, on the contrary, everyone saw that this battle had been fought very fiercely. From the first day of the attack, tens of thousands of troops took turns to fight, and the stone projectiles and arrows fired every day were almost uncountable.

And the Jiangling city is really like a nail here, the camp outside the city has been breached, relying on the city wall to fight again, the camp under the city wall has been breached, then retreat to the city to fight again, now in the face of Jiangling, although it has been smashed by trebuchets in many places, but the overall city wall has not fallen, and then look at the increasing number of casualties, Pei Zilie is really very toothache.

"Killed three more today," Wu Mingche, who was standing beside Pei Zilie, sighed, "Xiao Yuanyin is iron-hearted." ”

Although Wu Mingche no longer holds any position in the army, he still accepts Li Xinchen's appointment as a so-called "adviser". What's more, there are many old Jiangnan people in the army, all of whom were promoted by this old Sikong, who dares to disrespect Wu Mingche?

The number Wu Mingche said was the head of the people in the city who persuaded Xiao Maha to surrender, and whenever someone asked Xiao Maha not to fight anymore, Xiao Maha simply cut off his head and hung it on the city wall, at most there were more than ten.

This is obviously telling everyone inside and outside the city that he Xiao Maha is going to be a loyal minister of Nan Chen and defend this Jiangling City.

Originally, no one dared to say this anymore, but I thought that the news of Chen Ji's death had already reached the city, so some people began to test Xiao Maha's reaction.

Chen Ji is dead, this emperor who once led Nan Chen to the peak doesn't care about this dynasty anymore, why does the general have to defend it with an iron heart.

"Chen Ji has died, and His Royal Highness has not given us much time," Pei Zilie said helplessly, "Before the end of the month." ”

"What about more than 20 days, no faith?" Wu Mingche heard Chen Ji's name, and his voice became a little vicissitudes.

Chen Ji is gone, this era is really going to change the master!

"I have confidence in being someone else," Pei Zilie gritted his teeth, "This Xiao Maha, but I don't know where to make a mistake!" ”

If it were someone else, it is estimated that he would not be able to hold on to it for a long time, but this Xiao Maha actually suppressed the internal opposition by killing people, urging the soldiers in the city to defend the city.

"Xiao Yuanyin is still the same Xiao Yuanyin back then," Wu Mingche chuckled, "As long as it is something he recognizes, no one can change it, even if there is only one person left, he will definitely have to hold a knife to resist." ”

Pei Zilie stomped his feet, how could he not know Xiao Maha's temper, but now that the major events of the family and the country have been like this, Xiao Maha continues to support him, does he really think that the Nanchen court will regard him as a loyal martyr?

"If you want to storm the city before the end of the month, you will have to bear huge losses, and if Your Highness does not punish you at that time, someone will naturally impeach you. So don't expect Xiao Maha to open his mind now, but it's not like there are no other people in the city who can't be counted on. Wu Mingche said slowly, and actually stepped off the stage.

Pei Zilie was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.

——————————-

Looking at the busy soldiers around him, and then looking at the head that had just been hung up, Xiao Maha just looked cold.

Chen Yu, who was standing behind him, sighed secretly, the general was showing his attitude to everyone, you must know that the news of Chen Ji's death shook the hearts of not only these three people, the three of them were already at the level of the battle master, who knows how many soldiers below have such thoughts, but they don't dare to say it, and who knows if there are other higher-level people who also have the same mind behind these battle masters.

But in any case, Chen Yu felt that it was indeed inappropriate for Xiao Maha to do this.

Gangneung Castle has been defended until now, and from top to bottom, the soldiers have done their best. It's just that because of the change in the current situation, it means that everyone will be killed as soon as they confide their hearts, even on the battlefield, this will inevitably chill everyone's hearts.

Chen Yu knows very well that there are already rumors in the army that Xiao Maha is going to use the lives of the soldiers and horses in this city to achieve his reputation for loyalty, otherwise his son and son-in-law are in the opposite army, as long as he surrenders, he will be a general, and he can even go further to become a commonplace.

The words have already come to this point, and even Chen Yu's gaze at Xiao Maha is a little confused. General, if you continue to defend this city, are you for the righteousness you keep saying, or for your own selfishness to leave a name in history?

The country is in tatters, and even the royal family is not willing to fight anymore. There are so many soldiers, they shouldn't die here.

And Xiao Maha seemed to feel the gaze behind him, although he didn't look back, he whispered: "Do you think that so-and-so has gone too far." ”

Chen Yu's expression was awe-inspiring: "On the battlefield, those who disturb the hearts of the army, don't talk about killing, the general is right······

Xiao Maha smiled bitterly, but did not speak.

Although Chen Yu said this, Xiao Maha knew what he was thinking, and he also knew what everyone in the city was thinking.
