I’m The King Chapter 1435: : The last hour of Hanqi Tianxia (125)

Listening to Qiao Shan's words, Wen Zhuang's face darkened a little bit, "The people of Great Chu should believe the imperial court, not the rumors circulating in the market. A far-fetched lie?"

Qiao Shan shook his head and said, "Governor, why are you hiding it? The Han army's attack was too sudden, and our Great Chu was not ready for battle at all. I don't want to talk about the mistakes of the court princes here." , but we are also very clear that the king has given up on Jiangjiang now. According to the information I have received, the troops assembled by Qu Taiwei are now approaching Yingdu. The Taiwei is fighting a decisive battle with the Han army in Yingdu. If you succeed, it is gratifying to congratulate, but if you fail, Chu will perish. ┠.([.c［om”

Wen Zhuang said coldly: "Since the outcome is still undecided, why do you all lose confidence?"

"It's not me who lost confidence, but the county guard. Can we wait until the decisive battle in Yingdu? The county guard knows very well that the Han army did not really focus on attacking Jiangdong County. According to the information I got, The king of Han still attaches great importance to Jiangdong County, the central city in the south. He doesn't want to turn it into a wasteland, but as the day of the decisive battle in Yingdu is approaching, I think the Han army is about to lose patience. Jiangdong County, there is no one outside The reinforcements have no food and grass, how can we hold on?" Qiao Shan looked directly at Wen Zhuang.

"If it's just these things, the bigger problem is that the 200,000 elites led by General Qu Wan were blocked in the southern part of Qin State and could not return. If it was Qu Wan who fought the Han army in Yingdu The general’s 200,000 people, even if I donate all the food, there is no doubt, there must be a glimmer of hope, but what kind of people are gathering in Yingdu now? The sheriff is an important minister in the court, so You should know more details than us. Just relying on these people, can they stop the Chinese tiger and wolf division?" Another big businessman in Jiangdong County, the head of the Wang clan, also interjected.

Wen Zhuang's eyes became sharp: "What do you want to do? Could it be that Wen is a weak and deceitful person?"

Qiao Shan smiled slightly: "Governor, you hold great power. You hold the power of life and death in your hands. Millions of lives in Jiangdong City are in your hands. A few of us are nothing. ┢═┝┟. {. But because of this, please ask the county guards to be more considerate of the hardships of the people. When the battle ends, the lives of the people will be exhausted. At that time, it will still not help. The king of the Han Dynasty has already arrived outside the city. It seems that the Han army is confronting Jiangdong County City. We have reached the limit of our patience. If Jiangdong County City does not express, I am afraid that the Han army will attack. We have soldiers but no food, and some people have no morale. How will we fight this battle?"

"Gao Yuan has arrived in Jiangdong County? How do you know? Could it be that you have colluded with the Han army?" Wen Zhuang said sharply.

Qiao Shan sighed: "Junshou, although I am a businessman, I am still a Chu person. If I really colluded with the Han people, is this Jiangdong County still in the hands of the sheriff? This news, we are indeed I got it from the Han people, but this was only told to us by some of our former business friends, and his original intention was to let us find a way to leave Jiangdong County, because the general attack of the Han army is about to begin.”

Wen Zhuang did not eat the meal in the end. Instead, he left the Lingering Garden disheartened.

"Governor, these people are simply lawless, why not take them all down, so that the soldiers will have food and will not suffer from food shortage?" Leaving Lingering Garden, the captain of the guards was still furious.

"The soldiers have food, what about the people in the city?" Wen Zhuang looked back at the Lingering Garden in a sense of loss. "Actually, what Qiao Shan and the others said is right. The Han people didn't attack Jiangdong County, not because they couldn't, but because they didn't want to. Probably Gao Yuan wanted to keep the most prosperous city in the south intact!"

"Since Gao Yuan is here in person, the battle to attack Jiangdong County will probably start soon. It doesn't matter if there is food or not." Wen Zhuang smiled wryly.

"The sheriff!" The captain of the guard was surprised.

"Needless to say. ┡╪┢┢.?. I want to be quiet." Wen Zhuang waved his hand.

At the dawn of another day, the camp of the Han Army, which had been quiet for a long time outside the city of Jiangdong County, finally started to move. Amidst the rumbling of drums, groups of soldiers lined up from the camp.

The sound of the drum alarmed the city of Jiangdong County. After a while, all the officials of Jiangdong County, headed by Wen Zhuang, heard the news and arrived at the city tower. Looking at the Han army gathered outside the city, the dense artillery and countless siege vehicles, everyone in the city looked pale.

"Those dark things must be the artillery of the Han army!" Wen Zhuang turned his head and said to Tian Shangyuan beside him, "Our navy died in the first battle because it was carried by the opponent's navy ship. The cannons hit by the cannons made it impossible to fight back, and the smaller ships were hit by the cannons, and the worst thing was that they were broken in two."

Tanaue Gen closed his lips tightly and said nothing. But Wen Zhuang noticed that the opponent's hands were trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the general is the courage of a soldier, even the general is already timid, let alone an ordinary soldier.

In the middle camp of the Han army, a yellow dragon flag was suddenly raised. Compared with the other main flags of the Chinese army, this yellow dragon flag was not only raised higher, but the key point is that the flag of the yellow dragon flag Among the borders, there are actually nine golden borders embroidered.

The soldiers who heard the sound of the drum turned their heads to look in the direction of the Chinese army. Amidst the silence, there was a burst of deafening cheers.

"Long live the king!"

"Long live the king!"

Cheers came one after another, and the originally quiet formation of the Han army was like boiling water. Countless weapons were raised high into the sky, and the sharp blades gleamed under the sunlight. There is a cold light.

In the Han Kingdom, there is only one person who is qualified to unfold the Yellow Dragon Banner with nine golden borders, and that is the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, Dawang Gaoyuan.

The sound of the drums stopped suddenly, and the sound of the loud bugle came from under the banner of the Chinese army. With the sound of the bugle, the arrays became quiet again in an instant. A flag officer held the flag high and ran straight out of the central army, and stopped until he reached the artillery position in the front.

Immediately, the artillery began to move, the muzzles of the black holes began to rotate, and the gunners began to get busy.

"Their artillery is about to attack, please go down first, Commander Wen and your lords!" Tian Shangyuan is a general after all, and when he saw the opponent's movement, he immediately judged that the attack was about to start.

But before the people on the city began to retreat, the artillery from the gates below the city suddenly began to roar. Where the smoke filled the air, red bullets came out of the gun barrel and flew towards Jiangdong County City.

The entire city wall seemed to be shaking, and Wen Zhuang was also on the verge of falling. If it wasn't for the captain of the guards nearby who grabbed him, he might have fallen on his back.

To everyone's surprise, it was only a round of shelling, and there was no further action. When the smoke dissipated, the Han army on the opposite side did not launch an attack, but the people on the city looked left and right, but they did not see a single injured person.

Wen Zhuang suppressed the surprise in his heart, and when he looked at the city wall outside, his mouth opened with an ah, and he couldn't close it anymore. In some places, because of the age, a deep pit was blasted by the shells. These shells are basically below the middle of the city wall. Obviously, this is a round of demonstrative shelling by the opponent rather than a real siege. Otherwise, it is impossible for all the shells to fall on the wall of the city wall but not on the city wall. .

The flag officer was holding the flag high at the moment, and rushed straight from above the artillery position, all the way to the moat. From this distance, as long as there is a slightly accurate archer in the city, he can shoot an arrow. Hit the arrogant guy, but no one pulled the bowstring.

Because there are countless black cannon muzzles behind this person, if he is shot down, the next moment, the terrifying shells will probably fall on the city wall.

"Wen Junshou is here?" Under the city, the general raised his voice and shouted: "I am He Weiyuan, the personal guard commander of the king of the Han Dynasty. Our king has a few words, let me bring them to Wen Junshou."

Wen Zhuang took a deep breath and stood on the edge of the city wall, "Wen is here, what can General He say?"

"My king said that the Han King's army has been in Jiangdong County for more than a month. He didn't intend to attack the county, and he knew it well if he wanted to come to the county. Now the entire Jiangdong County is under the control of my Han army. , Jiangdong County City has become an isolated city, and the reinforcements that the county guard is looking forward to may not be able to come. Where to go, if Wen Junshou has not made up his mind until now, my king will inevitably be very disappointed. Together, this thousand-year-old city , the largest business center in the south will inevitably be destroyed once. It is easy to destroy, but difficult to rebuild. My king finally gave Wen Junshou some time to think about it. There is only one hour. An hour~IndoMTL.com~Wen Junshou has not opened the city yet Gate, then, our general offensive is about to begin. If you open the city and surrender, you can save your life and property, but once our army breaks through the city, you will have to talk about it.”

He Weiyuan dropped these two words, and without waiting for Wen Zhuang to reply, he turned his horse around and walked away.

In the city, there was deathly silence.

Yingdu, the royal palace. Huang Xie walked towards the kingdom with a gray face. Now most of the land of Chu State has been occupied by the Han army, but at this time, King Huai of Chu fell ill because he couldn't bear this major blow. The condition of the disease actually became serious day by day. Usually, this great king doesn't seem to be very important. It seems that he and Qu Zhong can provoke all the state affairs. But today, Huang Xie realized that without this Dinghaishenzhen, everything seems to have become embarrassing .

Qu Zhong's strategy for the decisive battle at Yingdu is being implemented. Countless troops are concentrating towards Yingdu. That will be the last strength of Chu State. Hundreds of thousands of troops will concentrate in the Jingzhou area to fight the Han army for the final battle. desperate fight. If you lose, there will be no more Chu. (To be continued.)
