?Jiangjin was in a mess in the Chen army camp under the night. The remaining fire was burning in ruins everywhere. The Chen army soldiers were cleaning up the mess one by one. Several large ships on the bank of the river passed through the most sinking warships, and teams of soldiers walked out of the ship to board the sixth place.?ｗ??．

??

In a large tent, King Chen Shuling of Shixing was lying on his back on the couch, and several military doctors were carefully helping him with the wounds on his body.

Chen Shuling looked at the tent with expressionless face and asked how the casualties of Chen's army were. A general whispered to report to the side that there were about 4,000 soldiers who were burned to death, and sixteen warships moored by the river sank.

The loss sounded not very big. The enemy's target of attacking Jiangjinshi was not a large number of killing people, and most of the main warships of the navy were moored in Fengcheng Shazhou and were not affected.

Hearing the loss, Chen Shuling's expression still did not change, but asked about food and grass, and the general's voice became even lower: "It seems that there is only about 10% left."

"Woo!" Chen Shuling screamed and suddenly sat up from the couch. The people around him were so scared that they could not get up. A military doctor who was helping Chen Shuling treat the wound on his face shook Ruosie sieve knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master, I'm so young that I'm not careful and ask the king to spare my life!"

"Drag it out and chop it!" Chen Shuling roared with red eyes, and his right cheek was covered with blood and ferociousness. This was the wound he was hit by a hidden weapon when he fought with the enemy generals in the middle of the night.

The military doctor cried and was dragged out for a while and then disappeared. Then his bloody head was put on a plate and brought in and placed on the side of the couch. Chen Shuling looked around and pointed at a military doctor for a while and said, "You, come here to clean the wound!"

The military doctor just kept kowtowing and said that it was very troublesome to treat the wound too deeply. He was not good at skill and was afraid of hurting the king. When he said that he saw Chen Shuling staring at him with a pair of tiger eyes, he was frightened and rushed forward with a knife scalded with boiling water to clean the wound.

When the enemy attacked the camp, Chen Shuling rushed to attack, his armor was not fully worn, but most of his body was bruised, and a few of the wounds were very shallow, but the wound on his face was a bit tricky: it is very likely that the scar will be left after healing.

It takes some effort to remove the objects from the hidden weapon and just take them off, and the injured muscles will probably be difficult to fully recover, resulting in "face paralysis".

"It's really impossible to be a good job if you don't have good skills."

"Continue!" Chen Shuling said that, lying motionlessly and let the military doctor deal with the wound. After a moment, he asked, "Where are the reinforcements?"

Hearing the general report that the naval reinforcements stationed in Fengcheng had landed on the shore, he asked the other party why he had been stationed in the river not far away for so long. The general explained that the warships moored on the shore of Jiangjin were lit by the enemy, which caused the naval warships in Fengcheng to be unable to dock for a while.

After hearing this, Chen Shuling was silent for a moment and asked if there were any reinforcements sent by Jiangling. The general reported that the reinforcements sent by Jiangling Camp had arrived. It was delayed because of the attack on the road.

During the entire conversation, many people were sweating all over the head but did not dare to reach out to wipe the sweat for fear of being inadvertently angered the murderous vassal king in front of him. After Chen Shuling asked, he stopped talking. He felt anger in his heart and was about to find fault, but he found no handle.

The military doctor was sweating profusely for a long time and finally took out a lead pill from Chen Shuling's cheek. After touching the sweat on his forehead, he carefully applied herbs to his cheeks.

After the bandage was finished, Chen Shuling stood up and looked at the military doctor and said, "Very good, what reward do you want?"

"This is a matter of humble position, and I dare not be greedy for merit." The military doctor dared not ask for any reward. He felt that it would be a blessing that he could get out of this big tent alive.

"Get out. Get out!"

A group of people and others were rushing out of the tent as if they were amnesty. Chen Shuling's face was gloomy and attracted a general: "Go and rectify the troops. I will send troops in the future!"

..

At noon the next day, outside Jiangling West City, countless human catapults kept throwing stones at the top of the city. The people who were dragging the catapults were the people arrested by Chen Jun in Jiangling East City and surrounding villages. Under the supervision of the soldiers waving the whip, they pulled the hemp rope and pulled the throwing rod and threw the stones out.

"Laggy, I'll kill you if you dare to be lazy!"

From time to time, cries came from human trenchers everywhere. The people were beaten by whips and forced to pull the trenchers to throw rocks at the city of their country. The sound of trenchers continued to stop the movement of the trenchers. Then Chen's army, who had arrived at the city, began a new wave of siege.

The dense ladders were covered with many damaged city walls, and countless Chen soldiers and ants were attached. Countless Chen soldiers were smashed by the defenders and fell down the ladder. Countless cloud ladders were overturned and fell down with the soldiers above, but more soldiers were desperate to catch the ladder and continue climbing the city.

Everyone saw the fire that soared into the sky last night by Jiangjinshu. Although the generals tried their best to block the news and make a small loss, everyone was not foolish. Just looking at the fire that was reflected in half the sky, you knew that the food and grass were probably burned out.

So after the generals sent a supervisory team today, Chen Jun soldiers knew that if they could not conquer Jiangling today, there were only two ways to die: when siege the city or under the sword of the supervisory team.

The Chen army soldiers had no way out, and the Zhou army guarding the city had no way out. The Liang army, who was originally the main force of the city, had lost almost all of them. Now the only one who could fight was the Zhou army of the Jiangling General Administration.

Under an arrow tower that had collapsed most of the time in the south of the city, Cui Jun, deputy general manager of the Jiangling General Administration, was anxiously mobilizing the exhausted "firefighting team" to block the leaks everywhere. The surrounding city gates were blocked and no one expected to leave the city to assist the impossible reinforcements to attack Chen's army. Before the fall of Jiangling East City, the people hid in the west city, which resulted in insufficient food reserves and they could not guard for many days.

The battle to defend the city for half a month was exhausted from the rolling wood stones and arrows that they had prepared. They even demolished the brick houses in the city and used bricks as weapons. The young and strong people among the people were recruited to help defend the city, and the elderly, weak, women and children who could still move were also recruited to help take care of the wounded.

Even if the Chen army's offensive defenders repelled today, they didn't know whether they could withstand tomorrow's attack. After holding on for half a month, the Chen army suffered heavy casualties, so what would be waiting for them after the city was broken will be the cruelest revenge.

A deputy general ran along the city wall with anxiety and reported to Cui Jun: "The deputy general manager, the defenders of the west wall, could no longer hold on!"

"If you can't stand it, you have to take it. Let Master Li lead the guards to block it!" Cui Jun shouted loudly. He had just sent a firefighting team elsewhere and he had no troops to adjust even if he wanted to mobilize troops.

"The Lord Li and several Lords of the Bush have been killed, and there are fewer and fewer brothers, they."

"Everyone and I went over and killed the enemy!" Cui Jun set out without hesitation and led the guards to the west city.

The Jiangling General Administration is the only general administration in each general administration of the Great Zhou Dynasty with a deputy general administration, because the Jiangling General Administration is somewhat special: it undertakes the task of monitoring and protecting the vassal state of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Liang State.

The Jiangling General Administration Office's duties were to monitor the kings and ministers of Liang. The Deputy General Administration's duties were to protect the Liang Kingdom. Therefore, according to the division of labor, when the Chen army attacked Jiangling half a month ago, the Jiangling General Administration Heba Zhonghua led troops to escort Liang Emperor Xiao Kui and members of the royal family. The ministers went to Ji Nancheng ten miles north of Jiangling to take refuge, while the Deputy General Administration Cui Jun led the Zhou army in the Xicheng to assist the Liang army in resisting the Chen army siege.

Over the past 20 years, the Chen army attacked Jiangling several times and was finally repelled. The Jiangling General Office, which was supported by the Liang State and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the surrounding states, the invading Chen army. But now, Xiangzhou, which could have become a reinforcement, has rebelled and has no hope.

As they were walking forward, a tide of cheers suddenly came from the east wall. Cui Jun turned around and saw the sound of the sound. Hearing the sound, he looked back and saw that the east wall had waved more and more Chen army flags. Their cheers quickly spread and aroused the morale of the siege comrades everywhere.

"Break the city, break the city!" A tide of shouts sounded in the Chen army. The morale of the military and civilians defending the city plummeted instantly.

"Deputy General Manager, it's no longer possible to do anything, please withdraw quickly!" A general said with a pale face. They fought against the enemy troops several times their own for half a month, and they were already loyal to their duties. If they delayed, they would probably not even be able to seize the last chance to escape.

"Don't retreat. Beat the drum and fight with Chen Thief!" Cui Jun took off the duck and threw it on the ground, "Where can the people in the city retreat? We should live and die with Jiangling!"

The sad drums sounded and beat the hearts of the almost exhausted soldiers and civilians in the city. They mustered up the last courage to face Chen Jun who was rushing up the city from all directions to make a final effort.

Even if the city falls, even if it escapes the previous rounds of killings, it will not end well. The Chen army will not stay for a long time to wait for the imperial army to counterattack. When they move the people in the city to Jiangnan, everyone will leave their hometowns and even become slaves and suffer for life.

The resistance of the defenders only temporarily stuck to the Chen army's offensive. Chen army soldiers suffered huge casualties but still attacked wildly. Finally, they used the tragic casualties to trade in exchange for the defenders' counterattack to gain a foothold on the city wall.

"Kill, capture the city for three days, and the woman has money in front of her!" A general of Chen army waved his sword and shouted loudly, urging the soldiers' fighting spirit. A feather arrow flew to the middle of the gate and shot him over, but more Chen army soldiers continued to rush forward with red eyes.

Cui Jun threw down his powerful bow and pulled out his sword and rushed towards them. More than ten troops also surrounded the coach and conducted a desperate assault. They gave up the opportunity to escape and wanted to die in battle with the Langzhu at the top of Jiangling City.

The army and the Langzhu have prospered and lost. The Langzhu has decided to die, so they have no reason to survive alone. The only thing to blame is that God will not violate it.

The enemy was powerful, and if one knife was blocked, three swords would be chopped over. Therefore, the troops did not choose to block the enemy but instead used their sleeves to resist in order to free up their hands to cut people. They burned their last lives in a tragic way of exchanging one life for two lives or even three lives.

Suddenly, a continuous sound of trumpets came from the north, and the defenders who were already in desperate situations heard the sound in disbelief. They saw flags on the northern horizon like the sea rushing towards Jiangling under a large area of ​​black tides. The huge word "Zhou" could be vaguely seen on the flag fluttering in the wind.

The smoke and dust were rolling, and several cavalrymen were galloping before the black tide, as if several sharp knives were roaring. Seeing such military force, the soldiers and civilians who were already desperate in the city cried with joy: "Reinforcements. Reinforcements are here!"

Reinforcements were right in front of us. Everyone, no matter men, women, young and old, mustered up the courage to fight with Chen Jun with everything that could be used as weapons. They had been withered for half a month, and they could be rescued if they had to hold on for a while!

Outside Jiangling City, beside the Chen army's central tent, Fan Meng, deputy commander of Chen army, looked at the army that he judged that it was very likely to appear but did not want it to appear, sighed and nodded to the side: "Yuan Yin. Look at you."

The right guard general Xiao Maha, who was covered in clothes, gave a solemn greeting and rode on his war horse and galloped outside the camp, where there were cavalry who had been waiting for a long time and infantry who were ready to go.

This is the only reserve force of the Chen army after removing the siege troops. It gathered all the cavalry and the most elite infantry. Their mission was to guard against the enemy troops that attacked Jiangjinshu last night. Since the opponent attacked Jiangjinshu, the next step must be to support Jiangling City.
