Chapter nine hundred and eighty fourth karmic fire
Night shrouds Xiangzhou, and the Xiang River flowing north reflects the stars in the sky. Before the war, the city of Xiangzhou was already filled with the sound of fighting and iron horses during the day. I am afraid that it was only after the curfew that the city
It will be completely quiet, but it is so completely quiet, which makes people even more uncomfortable.
No one knows how long Jiangling City can sustain, or when war will come. This kind of waiting is the most anxious and helpless.
Chen Shushen stood in the courtyard with his clothes on, looking at the bright moonlight. He believed that there would be many people who had the same difficulty falling asleep as him that night.
The storm is about to come, and the fall of Jingzhou has undoubtedly put Xiangzhou at the forefront of the storm. Especially when it is said that traces of Shuhan navy ships have been discovered outside Balingji, which makes Chen Shujian and Chen Shushen vigilant.
Li Xingchen's best surprise weapon is outstanding, and he can always surprise everyone every time, so it is okay if he is on the offensive side, at least the initiative on the battlefield is in his hands, but now he is in a defensive state, which means when will Li Xingchen
It is unknown whether they will come to attack, or whether they will directly bypass Jiangling and attack Xiangzhou.
What worried Chen Shushen even more was that Jingzhou Navy's attitude seemed a bit weird. Chen Shushen had to admit that during the day, he and Chen Shujian seemed to be a little too much towards Qi Xin, but Qi Xin went back without saying a word.
, and then summoned the generals to arrange matters, everything was as usual, but the more it was as usual, the more uneasy it became.
As a martial artist, Qi Xin is unlikely to have no reaction at all. Even if he can hold back, the generals below will definitely express their dissatisfaction. According to Chen Shujian and Chen Shushen's ideas, after this beating, they can be comforted more
, naturally these generals can continue to feel the trust and attention of the court.
But obviously this beating did not allow Chen Shushen and the two of them to see the results they should have. Behind such calmness, people feel that things may not be so simple.
However, the imperial court has always treated the Jingzhou Navy well. The Jingzhou Navy has long enjoyed the status of the only navy in the imperial court that can fight - now the Jiankang Navy and others can actually only protect the dock - this time Yiling
The battle was miserably defeated, so logically there should be no problem with a few words of rebuke.
But the current reaction of the Jingzhou Navy is undoubtedly telling Chen Shushen that there must be a monster when something goes wrong...
However, this is already the last navy that Nanchen can use. It is also the last barrier on the water from Balingji to Yueyang and then to Xiangzhou. Therefore, neither Chen Shujian nor Chen Shushen dare to rush
What to do with the Jingzhou Navy, otherwise if the Jingzhou Navy is provoked to resist, the matter will become more serious.
Therefore, just in the afternoon, Chen Shujian and Chen Shushen discussed going to the Navy camp to express their condolences tomorrow. However, the time from today to tomorrow is still quite long. Chen Shushen now wants to go to the Navy camp to see what these guys are thinking.
What.
I'm afraid Chen Shujian also has the same idea.
"Come here, change your clothes. I am going to pay a visit to the King of Changsha." Chen Shushen said in a deep voice. Just as he was about to move, he was interrupted by a scream.
"The north of the city is flooded!"
Chen Shushen raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked to the north. In the north of the city, to be precise, the north outside the city wall, fires were rising into the sky!
That is the location of the camp outside Xiangzhou City.
"No," Chen Shushen shouted, "Quick, prepare your horse!"
"Your Highness, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!" The door to the courtyard was suddenly knocked open, and a general stumbled in.
Chen Shushen took a deep breath and grabbed his collar: "What happened? Don't panic. Speak slowly. The sky has not fallen yet!"
"The navy...the navy has rebelled!"
"What?!" Chen Shushen slowly let go of his hand, only to feel his eyes go dark and feel dizzy.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" The servants surrounding him hurriedly gathered around.
At this moment, another general rushed in quickly: "Your Majesty, the enemy navy is attacking Shuimen. The camp in the north of the city was destroyed by fire. Our army has been defeated. The enemy's siege troops should arrive soon."
.The King of Changsha invites His Highness to go to the North Gate quickly!"
Chen Shushen took a deep breath to calm himself down and sighed: "Qi Xin, you are really a bastard!"
————————-
Fire danced in the camp in the north of the city. The original flag of Nanchen had fallen into the flames and was burning brightly. The flag of Shu Han took its place.
Groups of Nanchen soldiers were captured by Shu Han soldiers who suddenly rushed in while they were sleeping, and soon the school ground was full of squatting prisoners. Of course, there were some fish with better legs and feet that slipped through the net. Shu Han soldiers
The soldiers couldn't take care of it for a while. They were just the vanguard, with only more than a thousand people in total. They took a warship all the way from Balingji to Xiangzhou, and finally destroyed the camp in the north of the city with the largest number of troops before the enemy knew the news.
You must know that the number of Nanchen soldiers in this camp ranges from five to six thousand, and as many as nearly ten thousand. If they did not adopt a sneak attack, it would be impossible for the Shu Han army to succeed. Of course, this was also thanks to the Jingzhou Navy who led the way.
The soldiers of Nanchen who were on sentry duty would never have thought that their own warship transporting grain and grass would be full of enemy soldiers.
The firelight illuminated the school grounds clearly, and Shu Han soldiers with crossbows set up everywhere stood ready. They had no intention of abusing these prisoners, but whoever wanted to escape was not welcome. They directly greeted them with a barrage of arrows. At this time, the soldiers on the edge of the school grounds were
The few corpses are proof, and among them there are many warriors and generals.
And Xiao Shilian stood at the entrance of the school ground with his hands behind his hands, watching groups of Nanchen soldiers being escorted over in dejection. Many of them were even disheveled and had obviously been dragged up from their sleep. This scene seemed like
Just like in the dream, Xiao Shilian couldn't believe his eyes.
Although it was not difficult to win the battle of the camp in the north of the city with the Jingzhou navy as an internal support, after all, the enemy was small and the enemy was large, and the enemy had to be caught by surprise. Therefore, Xiao Shilian asked Li Xinchen to lead the team personally, and Li Xinchen did not refuse.
This journey was really smooth. Of course, the main reason was because Qiu Zhi had already arranged the response with the Jingzhou Navy. In fact, starting from the morning, the warships of the Shuhan Navy disguised themselves as the ships of the Jingzhou Navy and entered.
Balingji, all the way south, can be said to be non-stop.
In this era, Dongting Lake was not as small as later generations. The water area extended directly to not far outside Xiangzhou City. Therefore, this fleet came south in a mighty manner and was covered by the Jingzhou Navy, so it was basically
Not noticeable.
When the moon is high in the middle of the night and the army has fallen asleep, it is naturally the best time for Xiao Shilian and others to take action. After all, this battle has not really come yet, and no one expected that the Shu Han army would actually appear at this time.
It is impossible for the generals to let the army stand ready at this time. (To be continued)
