Chapter nine hundred and eighty eighth chance and no chance
"It's okay. I'm just worried that my husband is too tired day and night these days, so I specially made chicken soup to replenish him." Lechang said hurriedly.
Li Xingchen reached out and gently pushed a strand of hair from her temples behind her ears: "The battle in Xiangzhou is about to begin. Who among the entire army can think of resting? It's okay."
Lechang responded softly, and Li Xingchen said with a smile: "The wind and waves on the lake are not small, so don't rush back and stay with us for a while."
Thinking of something, Lechang whispered: "The person who just went out was General Qi of the Navy, right?"
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "Yes, General Henghai Qi Xin."
"I don't know who will come next time..." Lechang couldn't help but sigh.
Li Xingchen burst out laughing: "I'm waiting for your father and Chen Shubao!"
Lechang was startled for a moment, and Li Xingchen put his arms around her: "Sometimes long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."
Although he knew that what Li Xingchen said was right, Lechang still hugged Li Xingchen tightly: "Husband, I am so scared of that day. I really don't know how to face it..."
Li Xingchen said solemnly: "If someone is here, someone will solve it."
He raised his head in surprise. Lechang didn't understand what Li Xingchen meant.
But Li Xingchen just looked into her eyes: "Believe me."

"Bang!" The stone bullets thrown by the trebuchet hit the city wall hard.
The sound of drums echoed under the city wall, while the Shu Han crossbowmen advanced step by step, and there were people in front of them.
It's not the reinforcements that are rushing over, but the prisoners of Nanchen's army last night.
Both Xiao Shilian and Cheng Feng knew very well that as daybreak came, Chen Shujian, who was guarding the city, would definitely find that the people attacking the camp in the north of the city were only a thousand Shu Han troops. As long as a random army was sent from the city, they would be defeated.
But yesterday's night was too short. By the time Xiao Shilian counted and assembled the trebuchets, crossbows and other weapons in the camp and prepared to start the attack, it was already dark.
In desperation, Xiao Shilian could only make a dangerous move, urging the prisoners in the camp to attack Xiangzhou City. At first, Cheng Feng and others thought that Xiao Shilian had gone crazy under the critical situation. It was best now
The decision was obviously to request the navy for cover immediately, at least these manpower would not be wasted here in vain.
However, the actual situation surprised Cheng Feng and others.
When Xiao Shilian pointed at Xiangzhou City and offered an exciting reward, almost all of these prisoners picked up their weapons and attacked the city wall as if they were beaten to death. Cheng Feng and the others only had to control the trebuchets and beds from behind.
Crossbows and other equipment can provide cover.
These equipment that were originally used to defend Xiangzhou City soon turned into tools for attacking the city. More importantly, Chen Shujian had already prepared the situation before Li Xingchen entered the entrance of Dongting and occupied Yueyang and other places but his foothold was not stable.
He was ready to launch a counterattack, so there were even two huge ladder trucks and many simple ladders in the camp, which now naturally became the basis for Xiao Shilian to attack Xiangzhou.
Seeing the stunned expressions of Cheng Feng and others, Xiao Shilian couldn't help but smile and said: "Not to mention that the reward given by X is rich enough, our army will arrive in Xiangzhou soon, so instead of waiting until then to be repatriated or incorporated into the army,
It’s better to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make contributions first.”
After a pause, Xiao Shilian smiled bitterly: "The war has already reached this point. The Chen people are just hanging on. It is conceivable that there will be fewer and fewer battles in the future. As we all know, being a soldier is about making achievements. This is the remaining opportunity.
It’s getting less and less, so how can we not seize it quickly?”
Cheng Feng and other generals were stunned for a moment, wishing they could follow suit and rush upward now. Indeed, as Xiao Shilian said, if Xiangzhou and Jiangling fall into the hands of Li Xingchen, then the west side of Jiankang Mansion will really open up, and the southern Chen court will
It probably won’t be able to hold on any longer. If the Nanchen court surrenders without any backbone, then the chances for everyone to make contributions will be less and less. There is nothing we can do now to let these guys get ahead.
Xiao Shilian was obviously aware of the thoughts of this group of people, and said calmly: "The Chen Kingdom is not worth mentioning. There will be Zhou and Turks who are more difficult to deal with later. What are you anxious about? You are all from Long Yuanrong no matter what."
, the King of Han will not treat you badly. As for these people today..."
As he spoke, Xiao Shilian's eyes shifted to the soldiers in front who were frantically attacking Xiangzhou City. He watched them fall one by one under the rolling stones and arrows, but the people behind them were still coming in a steady stream.
Moving forward, I didn’t say much.
Today, these people are just cannon fodder that Xiao Shilian pulled out without any other means. Among the thousands of prisoners of war, there are only a few who can really stand out in the end. It can be said that most of the people today will fall in this place forever.
On the land. And even if someone really succeeds, his status as a prisoner of war is an obstacle to his rise. What's more, how can one or two people shake the entire Yuan Cong system?
Regardless of the conflicts between the Bashu family, the southeastern gentry, and the Hongnong Yang family and other Guanlong group families, in the final analysis, they are all the earliest people from Conglong under Li Xunchen - of course, in terms of qualifications,
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie must be at the front, and they are very smart and never represent the interests of any faction. They seem to only obey the orders of Li Xingchen - so there is really no need to compete with outsiders, especially latecomers.
When conflicts break out, these three factions will still stand together and use their common identity as Long Yuanrong to deal with the enemy.
Therefore, Xiao Shilian did not want to overly suppress the rising stars. If a dynasty wants to move forward, it is natural to change talents from generation to generation. What the Chinese nation has not lacked most from ancient times to the present is capable people, so the rise and fall of some families is also reasonable.
Therefore, the prisoners of war were driven as the vanguard today. Firstly, they wanted to protect themselves and consume the strength of the Xiangzhou defenders. Secondly, Xiao Shilian also wanted to see if there were really useful people in the Nanchen army.
"Is the fireship ready?" Wang Chang stretched out his hand and pressed the battlements on the ship's tower with a solemn look.
The sound of fighting coming from the direction of the north gate told him that there were not many opportunities left for the navy. If he continued to throw stones from a long distance like at night, then the opportunity to conquer Xiangzhou City might be the same as the navy.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Wang Chang had to admit that Xiao Shilian was indeed a ruthless man, and he was able to urge prisoners of war to go to the battlefield. This also forced Wang Chang, who had been prepared to cover Xiao Shilian's retreat, to face the battle situation in front of him.
Xiao Shilian probably won't leave for a while, and the Shu Han navy can't watch from the side. In the previous battle of Yiling, the greatest military exploits were actually made by Cheng Feng. (To be continued)
