Chapter 35 Sleepless Nights
?Chen Shuling, who was about to slash Yuwen Wen, saw that the iron stick in his hand was facing him and thought something was wrong, immediately dodged but was hit by the thing shot out. A severe pain came from his face and then he couldn't help but cover his face and took a few steps back. Huo Ranwen???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.
?
Yuwen Wen jumped up and hit him head-on and knocked him down. The two sides hugged each other and fought each other again. Yuwen Wen, who was half a bucket of water, is now fighting with each other but is not inferior to each other's age and strength, and his enemy generals who are obviously stronger are evenly matched. The two of them actually 'entangled' each other' and fell to the ground and no one can do anything to each other.
"Firteen, where are you dead?" Yuwen Wen shouted in a hurry. The shadows outside the tent swayed and the sound of weapons colliding seemed to be two gangs of people vaguely yelling from Yuwen Shiwu: "Master, the young man will come soon!"
"Who are you? Sign up!" Chen Shuling roared, his face was covered in blood and red eyes, obviously he was full of murderous intentions at Yuwen Wen, "I am lonely."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a bracelet hit his head with a bang, which made him slam it into blood. The Chen Jiang and Yuwen Wen were stunned for a moment and looked at the person who smashed the pot and found that it turned out to be the woman who only covered her body with a sheet.
"God thief, go to die!" The woman cried and raised the copper pot and hit Chen Shuling again. The banging sound was clearly heard.
"Bitch, bitch!" Chen Shuling roared with blood all over his head. His eyes were red and his face was blushing and blue veins angrily pushed away his enemy who was "walking" away, then got up and punched the woman over.
"I want to throw you into the pile of beggars." Before Chen Shuling finished speaking, he was kicked and knocked over to the ground by Yuwen Wenfei. The two of them were about to fight again, but they saw that both ends of the tent were lifted up and rushed in.
"Master Lang!" Yuwen Shiwu saw that Yuwen Wen's eyes were blue and his soul was so scared that he didn't care that the 'the army on the battlefield was called the commander' and rushed forward.
"Kill them!" Yuwen Wen's eyes were also red, and he bent down to pick up his "commander-type pneumatic bead gun" that had been bulleted as a hammer and was about to go forward and fight desperately, but was caught by several subordinates.
"Kill them all, kill them. That man keeps his breath and will cut him alive!" Chen Shuling was also furious. The two gangs were about to fight but heard people outside shouting that the horses were neighing, and the heat waves came.
Looking up, the flames outside the tent soared into the sky. The fires lit up by the cavalry who had been attacked in the camp were already in a prairie fire. They burned north along the southeast wind, and their momentum was raging and their flames were unstoppable.
Seeing that he would be burned by fire after staying here again, the two gangs didn't care about fighting to the death without saying anything, and they tried hard to pull their heads and generals to walk on both sides. Yuwen Wen didn't care about maintaining her gentle and elegant image and cursed: "Kill that bastard who claims to be lonely first and then leave!"
"Husband. Husband!"
A woman's crying sound came from his ears. Yuwen Wenxun looked in his voice but saw the woman crying and pulling a man in ragged clothes on the ground trying to drag it out. The man was tied to a wooden stake and there was no way a weak woman could untie it.
He sighed in his heart when the woman attacked General Chen just now and shouted loudly: "Save that...uh. those two people together!"
Yuwen Shiwu looked at the woman with a bitter face and muttered something to say, but Yuwen Wen glared back. He sent someone to support the woman and the man on the ground to untied her body and moved her to the big tent.
A wave of heat waves dazzled Yuwen, who could only see something in his left eye, and his right eye socket became swollen and worse. His vision became worse and worse. He hurriedly helped him up on the horse, looking out of the corner of his eyes. The Chen general on the other side of the tent was covered in blood and fled in a panic under the escort of the guards.
"Reign the army!" Shi Wansui led the cavalry to come and shouted. He saw the Chen army camp in chaos, the granary, and the tents in various places had been lit, but he saw that the other cavalry had not retreated, worried that his comrades would be trapped in a heavy siege and quickly came to support him.
Seeing Yuwen Wen's safety and safety, he breathed a sigh of relief and then saw a woman in disheveled clothes being helped by Yuwen Shiwu, and another man in ragged clothes was also carried by others on horses.
'Is this woman interested in it?' Shi Wansui was shocked and suspicious, then looked at Yuwen Wen. Yuwen Shiwu shouted, "It's too late to retreat quickly and not leave!" He didn't care about so many things, and quickly rushed to the north with Yuwen Wen whose eyes swollen side.
Along the way, there were all the Chen army defeated soldiers running and howling. They returned to the gate without any effort to carry the comrades guarding here and left. The horse's hooves stirred up countless dust. Behind them was the Chen army camp that turned into a sea of fire. The sky-sky fire was raging everywhere and it was beyond human power to extinguish it.
At the same time, the southwest of the Piba Temple is several miles away.
A group of cavalrymen were galloping forward on the road in the loquat forest. They were reinforcements sent by the Chen army camp outside Jiangling City, and rushed to Jiangjinshi for rescue in a hurry.
The fire ignited by Jiangjin Shu reflects the sky red, so that the soldiers in the Chen army camp outside Jiangling City twenty miles northwest can also clearly see that Jiangjin Shu is a key place that concerns the success or failure of the army's battle. Now, when attacked, you need to rescue them.
But what they saved was not the food and grass, because the fire had already burned up and they had to rush over and everything was finished. What they wanted to save was Chen Shuling, the commander of Chen Jun, or to be precise, Chen Shuling, King Shixing.
King Chen Shuling of Shixing was spoiled by Emperor Chen. He had been in charge of all states for more than ten years and was safe and sound. His Majesty was protected by His Majesty. Chen Shuling committed several reproachable crimes and was sued by the censors who were not afraid of death in the imperial court, but was punished without any pain or itch. On the contrary, those court officials who dared to speak out were all retaliated by Chen Shuling afterwards.
As the commander of the attack on Liang State, Chen Shuling should have been in charge of Jiangling City and urged the army to attack the city, but he stayed overnight in Jiangjin Shu to seek pleasure. The generals could only pinch their noses and recognize this. But now Jiangjin Shu was attacked and the food was burned out. The second is the main reason why Chen Shuling was.
If the Chen army camp outside Jiangling did not send reinforcements to rescue and Chen Shuling died, then His Majesty would not let the relevant generals go. If Chen Shuling did not die, he himself would not let the relevant generals go.
Whether it is possible to save it or not, but the posture must be done, reinforcements must be sent. However, the enemy attacks Jiangjinshu and may set up ambushes halfway between the road to intercept reinforcements, so whether this night-travel cavalry can successfully arrive at Jiangjinshu is still a question.
There are two roads from Jiangling to Jiangjinshu. The shortest route is to go around the area of Biba Village along the Jiangban. They decided to take a long way but were still cautious, fearing that there would be ambushers.
Just in case the cavalry were divided into several strands and moved forward in sequence dozens of steps apart from each other, so as not to be wiped out by the trapped horse pits that suddenly appeared on the way, and the stuttering ropes were wiped out by the entire army. If they encountered an ambush, at least the ones behind would have time to deal with it.
They walked through the loquat forest with fear and suddenly realized that it was already a flat ground. Just now, General Chen, who was wary of the ambush in the woods, had just breathed a sigh of relief.
With the moonlight, I saw a group of people standing in front of me, and there were many spears standing in the crowd, as if they were placing a spear array.
The other side was the ambush that he had been looking forward to for a long time, but was in a straightforward and open manner in an open area that was most unsuitable for ambushing the cavalry. When General Chen was surprised, he couldn't help but feel the fighting spirit ignited: "Assault, crush them!"
The Chen army cavalry were gathering in an attempt to attack the ambush, but suddenly someone stood up and threw things at the cavalry. The thing suddenly burst into a harsh roar, which shocked the horses so much that they neighed and lost control in an instant.
The ambushers burst into shouts of killing, and they rushed forward with long spears and rushed forward to stop the Chen army cavalry who were busy stopping the mounts to drown them.
..
Outside Jiangling City, the soldiers who were shocked by the fire in the southeast direction returned to the tent to rest after their respective stern scoldings.
"No noise. No rumors are allowed. Everyone is honest and go back to sleep!" Countless patrol teams in the camp were yelling around and shouting to suppress these frightened birds. "The Zhou army warships attacked the city of Fengcheng, Shazhou, and have now been defeated by our army to set fire to the ship. No one is allowed to speak nonsense!"
With these patrol teams inspecting the Chen army camp, which was already unstable, at least they calmed down, but the generals in the central army's tent were not so calm.
"It seems that Jiang Jinshu was set on fire!" The right guard general Xiao Mohe frowned, and the other generals looked solemn. Jiangjinshu was stocking a large amount of food and grass. Looking at the sky-storming light in the southeast, the fools knew that it was setting fire to the enemy.
Jiangjinshi not only garrisons food and grass, but also an important wharf in Jiangbei. The ferry crossing of Jiangling's army this time also specially stationed heavy troops in Jiangjinshi to prepare for everything. Who knew that after half a month of guarding, I would still give it a try!
The main force of the navy is stationed on the Yangtze River sandbank. With their troops to reinforce, the enemy will not be able to capture Jiangjinshi, so it is inevitable that they will retreat after setting fire to burn food. The reinforcements sent by our side cannot save the near fire.
But it is not enough to send reinforcements if they don’t send them, even if they know that the other party will definitely have an ambush on the way, they still have to send them. Considering that the generals’ career is at that time, they have to send people to show off even if they are hurt.
"This military situation is urgent, and the generals of each department must be optimistic about the subordinates. If someone is intimidating the crowd, they will be executed!" General Xuanyuan Fan Meng looked around everyone present and said that when the Chen army attacked Jiangling, Liang State, this time, Chen Shuling was the head coach and he was the deputy commander. Chen Shuling would stay in Jiangjin every night, so in fact, Fan Meng was responsible for the affairs of the Chen army camp outside Jiangling City.
"I don't know the food and grass. Uh, how will our army deal with it tomorrow?" A general asked hesitantly. Jiangjinshu is burned and I don't know how much the food and grass have been lost. Although the camp still has some stock, Jiangling City has not yet been taken down and will not be able to provide military rations. I am afraid that the morale of the army will be in chaos.
The worst case is that the other side occupied Jiangjinshu and cut off the back of the army. In that case, one may be in a dilemma and finally surrender. Besides, where did the enemy attack Jiangjinshu emerge? Will there be other enemy troops lurking near him?
"Jiangjinshu has heavy troops to guard. The navy stationed in the sandbank in Jiangzhong was stationed in our army to support it. If the other party wants to attack, it will inevitably hide the number of people who will be in danger of being in danger. Therefore, Jiangjinshu will definitely not be lost!" Fan Meng expressed his judgment, first, to convince the other generals to cheer him up. Now the battle situation has deteriorated instantly, he must be calm as the deputy commander.
"Tomorrow morning, we will attack the city with all our might, and we must take down Jiangling within one day!" He thought for a moment and issued an order, "Organize personnel to build a pier by the river immediately!"
Fan Meng made up his mind to give it a try. No matter what the situation of Jiangjinshu was, as long as he could defeat Jiangling in a short time, then the army would have a chance to turn the tables. If he could not defeat Jiangling tomorrow, he would retreat to avoid destroying tens of thousands of soldiers in Jiangbei.
