The sudden deterioration of the battlefield situation showed that Long Xiang's army had actually retained its remaining strength for a long time.
And when the Lu clan leader, who was the only one who could pose a threat to the Jingwei mothership, was injured, Fan Yang and the Lu clan would never allow him to take risks again. Therefore, the mothership used the excess energy originally reserved for the shield force field.
They were taken out and assigned to the main guns of the offensive warships, which caused the pressure on Jiankang City's shield to suddenly double in a short period of time.
The battleship's main gun fires once every 10 minutes on average, bombarding the Jiankang City shield, creating a hole with a radius ranging from about 10 to 200 meters. The hole will be repaired within an average of 60 to 240 seconds. However, this is
After a period of time, it was enough for the drone swarm carrying Longxiang Army's special forces and superpowers to infiltrate.
Half an hour after the main artillery bombardment started, the Yulin Army's special envoy rushed to the Cheng family's clan in the capital of God.
"According to the emperor's edict! The chief of the Cheng clan in the divine capital, Cheng clan Jinyang, accepts the order!"
After silently complaining about Senior Sima Yi's weird imperial edict format, he bowed and said:
"Jinyang receives the order."
"Awarded, the Cheng family of Jinyang is appointed as the Prince Consort of the Imperial Consort! Lead Tianluo to support the Yulin Army, assist in the defense of Jiangning District in Jiankang City, and quell the rebellion of the rebels as soon as possible. I hereby commend you!"
Cheng Jinyang said expressionlessly: "I accept the order."
Well, it is also strange that the imperial edict is paperless and depends entirely on oral dictation.
He led Tianluo to support the Habayashi Army's defense. In other words, the exemption period from responding to the imperial call has ended, and the family has to send Tianluo to the battlefield again.
This was of course expected. Originally, joining the top-secret project of attacking the mothership outside the city would temporarily exempt them from imperial conscription. This was a secret agreement reached between the nobles and Wang Maohong, the then chief minister in power.
Now that the military adventure has failed, Wang Maohong has taken the blame and resigned. Of course, the newly-in-power Zhongshu Yu Yuangui will not recognize the political promises of his predecessor. In addition, the Long Xiang army's offensive has accelerated, and it will be a matter of time before the recruitment is resumed.
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly...
Seeing the special envoy of the Yulin Army turning around to leave, Cheng Jinyang quickly held him back and asked quietly:
"Special envoy, regarding the retreat to Lin'an, how are the arrangements made by the military region?"
To this day, everyone can see that the Northern Army Su Zigao, who is still on the road, has no time to rush to help, and the imperial capital Jiankang must not be defended. So how to retreat to Lin'an, when to retreat, who goes first and who comes last, becomes
The issue that all nobles are most concerned about.
The farther back you go, the fewer retreat routes you can choose. Those who run away first take the safest underground passage, and those who run behind take the Changzhou-Songjiang ruins detour. If you are unfortunate enough to be arranged by the court to be the last to leave, you will probably
They had to brave the firepower of the mothership and Long Xiang's army to break out of the fallen city of Jiankang.
After all, the Cheng family in the capital city is a military family and has inextricable human connections with the royal family and the military. Therefore, the special envoy did not show any concern and whispered:
"Clan Chief Cheng, your Majesty's original intention was to let the Cheng family of your divine capital be responsible for ensuring the passage from Jiankang to Lin'an."
"But Mr. Zhongshu said that the enemy troops who broke into Jiankang City through the loopholes in the shield in the morning and attacked important strongholds everywhere were the users of gravity. Naturally, the family affairs of the Cheng family in the divine capital must be handled by the Cheng family in the divine capital themselves.
as appropriate."
Cheng Jinyang nodded calmly, but he was furious in his heart: You Yu Yuangui! Do you really want to have trouble with me, Mrs. Cheng? Although you are sister Xinnan's biological uncle, I will remember this grudge!
Although he had not had much dealings with Mr. Zhongshu before, Cheng Jinyang had occasionally heard Miss Wang's comments about this person as he had been a political enemy of his father Wang Maohong for many years:
Four words, arrogant and sparse.
It means that Yu Yuangui is an impatient and arrogant person, with great ambition and little talent. It can be said to be a very bad description.
However, all the Qingliu nobles had many praises for Yu Yuangui, calling him a "beautiful jade from a good harvest", which was completely different from Miss Wang's disparagement. In addition, when it comes to "high self-esteem", I am afraid no one in the world can compare with him.
He had passed Miss Wang, so Cheng Jinyang didn't take it seriously.
Now it seems that Wang Wanrou's evaluation is simply exquisite! According to what the special envoy of the Yulin Army said, how could Cheng Jinyang not understand what this Lord Zhongshu meant?
The other party was disgusted with the previous "split" of the Cheng family in the divine capital and the rebellion of some tribesmen, so they could not trust the remaining tribesmen, so they rejected the emperor's proposal to let everyone guard the Lin'an Passage.
But, first of all, rebellion and division of sects are normal among the noble clans. After all, bloodline and incense continue to be great, and eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Although the Cheng family in the capital of God has engaged in "self-splitting", how can other families with supernatural powers do it?
Didn't do it? Why bother embarrassing my family alone?
Secondly, after the division of the sect, the children of the Cheng family who stayed in the divine capital of Jiankang were the ones who truly tied their fate to the emperor. If nothing else, even if you, Lord Zhongshu, go and inquire about it
, the feud between the previous patriarch, Cheng Qingxin, and I, Cheng Jinyang, made us know that it is absolutely impossible for us to join forces secretly.
You must know that there is no day in the sky, even the imperial court can only have one emperor. How can the Cheng family, a small god city, accommodate two clan leaders? My uncle and I have had an incompatible relationship for a long time. You treat me
What is there to be afraid of in the leader's family? Is it worth your while to block the emperor's decision-making? Do you have to let me and my uncle's family kill each other?
There is really no fallacy in being impetuous and arrogant, with great ambition but little talent!
"What does your Majesty mean..." Cheng Jinyang asked again.
"Ahem, Your Majesty has adopted Lord Zhongshu's opinion." The special envoy of the Yulin Army replied, "If the Cheng family in the divine capital can remove the lineage that rebelled previously, your family will be placed in the evacuation queue the morning after tomorrow.
.”
The morning after tomorrow... Cheng Jinyang thought to himself, that's okay.
According to my personal information, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Qinghe Cui family of the Wu family have arranged to evacuate tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night respectively. If the family can make it in the morning the day after tomorrow, it will be okay. It seems that the emperor is interested in evacuation.
My God, the Cheng family, still misses my old relationship.
But if I, the Cheng family, could be allowed to guard the passage from Jiankang to Lin'an, these people in my family would have left Jiankang City today! Yu Zhongshu, I have recorded this grudge, we will see!
"Clan Chief Cheng." Seeing his tense expression, the special envoy of the Yulin Army asked cautiously, "When do you plan to go to Jiangning District to deal with your rebellious tribesmen? We still have to go and explain to Mr. Zhongshu!"
"Your Majesty, the special envoy, is just kidding. Those clansmen have split into clans and have nothing to do with the Cheng clan of our divine capital." Cheng Jinyang immediately became serious and used two "already" words in a row to draw a clear line with those on the opposite side.
"As for the matter of countering the rebellion, I, the Cheng family of the Divine Capital City, naturally have the unshirkable responsibility. I just received the order at the last moment of danger, so it is not advisable to act rashly. We will start after we investigate and confirm the situation, and it will not be tomorrow at the latest."
"Then please leave it to the Cheng family of the capital city." The special envoy of the Yulin Army also understood.
After all, the emperor has said that if he is given an evacuation quota for the morning of the day after tomorrow, then the Cheng family in the capital city will definitely try their best to get things done tomorrow.
However, what Master Zhongshu did was indeed unreasonable. Since the Cheng family in the capital city was still willing to cooperate, the Yulin Army was relieved.
