Chapter 62: Decisive Battle 10

"Ladies and gentlemen, the battle is going very smoothly today, and from this seat, the capture of Nanjing City is just around the corner. " In the face of the generals, Cai Wenyuan, who was a military advisor, was smiling and happy, as if the whole battle was really going as smoothly as it is now.

"But these days there is a lot of food and grass, and the rest is only enough for half a month. However, the officers and soldiers in the city are still dying, and if they don't do their best, I'm afraid that they will not be able to take Nanjing City in a short time. Therefore, after consulting the master, it was decided that from today onwards, the army will attack the four walls of Nanjing at the same time, day and night, and within ten days, the city of Nanjing will be broken! Cai Wenyuan patted the table in front of him and said, trying his best to make a look of being in his chest.

This is reasonable, after all, everyone has seen what happened today. The army used artillery to attack the city, but the city was in a sea of fire, but the officers and soldiers were powerless, and the stuffy breath that was suppressed in their chests by their artillery fire in the past was also completely expressed.

"Strategist, can you let the artillery cooperate with everyone to attack the city this time, such a powerful thing is always left unused, it is really a tyrannical thing." Huang Wanli smiled, but there was a hidden edge in his words.

At this moment, where is Cai Wenyuan in the mood to worry about these things with him. Nodding his head, he said: "Don't worry, the artillery will not stop in the next few days, I hope that all the brothers will put the major affairs of the sect first, do not care about personal gains and losses, and sincerely unite and work together to capture Nanjing City." ”

Everyone should get up, although a few people are not very interested in Cai Wenyuan's words, but because of Zhao Wenyi's face, it is also necessary to deal with it.

Such a big change in the tactics of the rebels immediately attracted Shen Chongming's attention, and needless to say, he ordered the generals of all departments to arrange the affairs at hand and come to discuss major matters.

"The rebel offensive has suddenly become so aggressive, it seems that they are really in a hurry. If it is not bad, it should be the rapid progress of the counterinsurgency forces from all walks of life that has brought them such pressure. Seeing the generals with questions on their faces, Shen Chongming's opening remarks explained this matter clearly.

"Therefore, in this siege, the rebels must spare no effort, hundreds of thousands of troops, presumably the pressure on the entire city of Nanjing is also unprecedented."

These words made Yu Jiao very excited, and Lord Shen finally found out in his conscience, so that he didn't have to worry about the shortage of troops defending the city all day long.

"Now that the rebels have done their best, we don't need to retain our strength, don't you, sir?" Yu Jiao said with a smile

Shen Chongming did not directly answer Yu Jiao's words, but glanced at the generals who were straight at the waist, and suddenly smiled: "Generals, have you been waiting for this opportunity in front of you?" ”

Although there were more than 100,000 troops in the city, in order to preserve enough strength to deal a fatal blow to the rebels at the last moment, he kept 50,000 horses and horses without participating in the battle to defend the city. You must know that although the rebels did not do their best during this period, with the advantage of the number of soldiers and horses, the pressure brought was not small, nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses defending the city, and even the dead and wounded have been killed and wounded. If it weren't for this, Liu Shouyou would not have been frowning all day long, and complained to himself several times.

Unlike Yu Jiao, the 50,000 troops who were idle and did not need to defend the city were always anxious to participate in the war, so as to wash away the shame of being defeated by the Wuwei Sect some time ago.

As soon as Shen Chongming said this, many people laughed, especially Brother Erdan. "I said, my lord, this should have been done a long time ago, how could the rebels be arrogant for so many days?"

Shen Chongming glared at him unhappily, knowing that this kid was not giving up, and he wanted to go to the battlefield all day long to make a big comeback.

"Rice bucket, if you don't let them be arrogant for a while, how can you drag them to such an embarrassing situation now?" In front of everyone, Shen Chongming criticized Brother Erdanlai mercilessly. If you don't give him a little ruthlessness, this kid won't have a long memory at all.

This matter is too embarrassing, Brother Erdan immediately took three steps back with a sneering face, the adult is really too faceless, this matter can't be just settled, I have to talk to him afterwards.

Ignoring Brother Erdan, Shen Chongming continued to say to the generals: "Now that the opportunity has come, then we won't hide it." However, before the army can complete the siege of the rebels, everyone needs to stay in the city patiently for a few days. There is no need to keep your hands in the past few days, except for the Hongyi cannon that cannot be used, the rest can be called upon, as long as the rebels dare to jump, we dare to bury it! ”

The generals burst into laughter, what they said was both reasonable and interesting, it seemed that in the eyes of Lord Shen, this rebel army was nothing at all!

The morale was jubilant, Shen Chongming was also very relieved, ordered Yu Gao's general, and ordered him to be fully responsible for defending the city, but he wanted to clean up the affairs, and wanted to go home to accompany the three wives, especially the little sister who was about to give birth. I hope this girl can give birth to a little girl for herself, in the winter, there is a caring little padded jacket, what a lot of fun it is.

"Brother Shen, Brother Wei is talking about looking for you in the Yamen." As soon as he entered the door, before Shen Chongming shouted at his two sons to pick up his father, he ran into Xiong Dabiao.

"Senior brother, is your injury so good?" After looking at Xiong Dabiao carefully, Shen Chongming asked with a happy face.

Xiong Dabiao patted his chest and said with a smile: "It's good to have such a small injury, but my sister has to let my brother recuperate for a few more days, which is not difficult for this girl, I can only stay in the house honestly, but I am aggrieved." ”

Shen Chongming also laughed, the little junior sister is about to become a mother, but this temper has not changed at all. The elder brother can't be provoked, and he can't be provoked either.

"Senior brother, what the little junior sister said is right, although your injury is not very serious, you can't be careless, you should recuperate in the house for a while." After all, she is her own woman, and Shen Chongming's position on this matter is also extremely firm.

Xiong Dabiao hurriedly waved his hand, almost begging: "I said Brother Shen, you can just let me go as a brother, if you don't let me be at the door of the mansion, I'm afraid that my bones are about to rust." ”

Xiong Dabiao is an idle person, which Shen Chongming knows very well. But this matter is the little sister's decision, if she agrees to him without authorization, I am afraid that I will not have any good fruit to eat afterwards.

"Senior brother, forgive me, the little brother really can't be the master of this matter, you better ask the little sister what she means." Putting down these words, Shen Chongming hurriedly raised his feet and walked inside, otherwise he would be entangled by the senior brother, and it would be difficult to get out.

"I said Brother Shen, you wait." Seeing this, Xiong Dabiao hurriedly raised his heels.

The two didn't take a few steps before they bumped head-on into the little junior sister who was still vigorous and resolute with a big belly. "Senior brother, your injuries are not healed, how can you get out of bed?"

Directly ignoring Shen Chongming, the little junior sister walked to Xiong Dabiao's side with an eager face.

"Senior sister, senior brother's injury ...... early"

"Senior brother, that's not good, even if it's better, you have to recuperate for a few more days, but don't fall into any disease." Before Xiong Dabiao finished speaking, he was interrupted by the little junior sister, and he couldn't help but pull him to the backyard.

In this way, under Shen Chongming's powerless expression, Xiong Dabiao, who had a bitter face, was dragged away by the little junior sister, and there was no chance to resist at all.

In the middle of the night, the inside and outside of Nanjing City were full of fire.

This war has left a mark for those who experienced this war that will be indelible for a lifetime. The rumbling sound of artillery came and went, and the flames that exploded in the muzzle of the cannon in an instant were like hellfire, devouring countless lives overnight.

Such a loud noise was enough to make people inside and outside the city unable to sleep, and Shen Chongming was definitely the busiest one among them. The three ladies, this night but his two legs were thin, just to comfort this is not afraid, the other maid hurriedly came to find it, saying that his master was afraid when he heard the sound of the cannon, and hoped that the master could accompany him.

Fortunately, in the second half of the night, Master Shen announced a strike, and he didn't sleep anymore, so he gathered the family together in one go, and the women gathered together to chat. And he climbed onto the roof with his two sons despite the cold, which is a good opportunity to educate them.

"Daddy, these fireworks are so beautiful." Shen Junen, who was tiger-headed, pointed to the firelight in the distance and said happily, my brother is a hero, and my younger brother is definitely a hero, so I heard Shen Ningyuan also say: "Daddy, you take this firework back to our house and put it, the child wants to see it." ”

Shen Chongming, who was full of smoke, almost fell from the roof, this is exactly what it is like to be young and not know sorrow, and the two little calves know how to play.

"Son, this is not fireworks, this is war." Shen Chongming's gaze gradually became deeper. Just tonight, how many lives will be turned into loess. How many lives have been lost in this war that has lasted for months?

Thinking of these, Shen Chongming actually had the idea of quitting the officialdom and living the life of idle clouds and wild cranes. I don't know how many people have died under his own military orders over the years.

……

"Daddy, if you want to die, why do you have to fight?" Shen Chongming's accusation of war crimes, which almost burst into tears, seemed to touch the young hearts of the two children.

"Because there are people who want higher status, because there are people who want greater power. It is these shameless people who start the war, who trample on the lives of others at will, in order to realize their own ambitions that will never be satisfied. ”

Looking at the big sparkling eyes of his two sons, Shen Chongming hugged his two sons in his arms one by one, and said: "You have to remember that you must be content and happy as a man, and when you grow up, you must not harm other people's lives for your own affairs, otherwise you will be a big villain." ”

The two little guys nodded again and again, and then they heard Shen Junen ask: "Daddy, Sanniang said that you are a majestic general, and you have killed countless enemies on the battlefield, so are you a big villain?" ”

"This ......" Shen Chongming couldn't help but be questioned on the spot, and he bared his teeth for a long time before he said: "Daddy used to be a big bad guy, but now he is a good person, so when you grow up, you also want to be a good person like your father, understand?" ”

"I understand, I'd rather grow up and be a big bad guy like my father." Shen Ningyuan nodded and said, while looking at his brother Shen Junen with pride.

Before Shen Chongming could react, Shen Junen, who heard the side, said anxiously: "Daddy, my brother is a big bad guy and a good guy, so it's okay for that child to be a big good guy and a bad guy." ”

Looking at the two innocent little guys, Shen Chongming couldn't cry or laugh. It seems that it is too early to educate them about this.
