Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 594 Too lazy
And as we all know, the combat effectiveness of the Yan army is generally much higher than that of Chen Guozhi's army.

Comparing the north and south of the old capital, Chen Huang still believed that the threat on the north side was greater.

Therefore, no more reinforcements will arrive on the south side of the capital.

As long as King Jiangyin's siege equipment is ready, he will directly attack the city!
On the north side of the capital, the water battle on the Yangtze River is still going on fiercely.

Judging from the news from the scouts, it seemed that the Jingying Navy had a slight upper hand.

However, the Yan army had too many men and horses, and there were also many captured ships. It was still unknown whether they could survive the night.

As the time approached for the King of Jiangyin to send troops, Zhu Xiuyuan, Chen Huang, etc. all focused on the southern city wall.

Scouts continued to inform everyone about King Jiangyin's movements.

As time went by, King Jiangyin's siege equipment was ready, and he was about to take action!
At this moment, the entire capital was eerily quiet.

The lights of thousands of houses have long been extinguished.

The criss-crossing streets and alleys were completely dark. Only the soldiers and scouts running back and forth, and the torches in their hands, brought a little light to the dark streets.

Zhu Xiuyuan sat firmly in the main tent of the Divine Thunder Army. In addition to receiving enemy information from all parties, he also kept in touch with Jiangcheng Bofu from time to time.

At this critical moment, and it was so late, father-in-law Dong Cheng had already returned to the uncle's mansion and made all preparations.

Dong Cheng had already known Zhu Xiuyuan's strategy of "running away once the city was broken". He had no sleep tonight and kept in touch with Zhu Xiuyuan at any time...

at last!

"Report..." A scout rushed into the tent, "Thirty miles south of the city, the [-]-strong army of King Jiangyin has already set off, pushing all kinds of siege equipment and approaching the southern wall of the capital!"

"Do you know the specific attack direction of King Jiangyin?" Zhu Xiuyuan stood up quickly, but he was relieved in his heart. It was finally here... The waiting process was the most painful.

"Uncle Qi, I don't know yet!" the scout said.

"Let's explore again!" Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand.

The scout saluted and turned to leave.

"Young master, the slave family needs to leave."

Kou Wanwan turned around from behind Zhu Xiuyuan, her face slightly solemn.

"The girl is leaving?" Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised.

"King Jiangyin is about to attack the city. The slave family has to go back and make some preparations..." Kou Wanwan smiled sweetly, leaned over and gave him a peck on the side of the face.

"Don't worry, young master, if the city is defeated, the slave family will appear in front of the Jiangcheng uncle's house on time with their troops!" The smile on Kou Wanwan's face did not diminish, and she seemed to be a little shy.

Zhu Xiuyuan touched the side of his face, and the warm touch seemed to still remain there.

For some reason, Zhu Xiuyuan's heart suddenly became hot. It seemed that it was because he had been teased too much by Kou Wanwan just now, and it seemed that it was because of the impending disaster. Zhu Xiuyuan let go of his hands and feet.

He held Kou Wanwan's cheek with both hands and bit it down without hesitation...

"Pay attention to safety!" Zhu Xiuyuan finally said.

"Young master, don't worry, the slave family will be fine..." Kou Wanwan drifted away, leaving only Zhu Xiuyuan in the big tent.

Zhu Xiuyuan stood there in a daze for a while, then sat down behind the case again and studied the map of the capital carefully.

Next, the scouts kept shuttling around the city, reporting the battle situation in the south of the city to Chen Huang, Zhu Xiuyuan, Yulin Guard, Jinwu Guard, and the deputy generals of the Beijing Camp in the north of the city.

Thirty miles away, King Jiangyin's army arrived in an instant.

What surprised Zhu Xiuyuan was that King Jiangyin did not push towards Zhengyang Gate, which was closer to the imperial city.

Instead, they went to the Juxian Gate in the southernmost part of the capital to kill!

Zhu Xiuyuan did not guess King Jiangyin's intention for a while.

Even if you don’t attack Zhengyangmen, it would be better to attack Tongjimen!
As for Sanshan Gate, Dinghuai Gate, etc., there are lakes in front of the city gates and the terrain is complicated. It makes sense for King Jiangyin not to attack these gates.

However, the King of Jiangyin came straight to Juxian Gate, so Zhu Xiuyuan didn't think much about it. While checking the map of the capital, he listened to the military information coming from all directions.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The horn sound came from Zhu Xiuyuan in the Chinese army tent. It sounded very loud and shocking, like a mountain falling, and it also made people's blood boil.

Because the temporary station of the Divine Thunder Army in the city is near Juxian Gate.

Zhu Xiuyuan really wanted to get out of the camp of the Shenlei Army, go to the city wall, and take a good look at what was going on.

But when it came to the end, he stopped again.

He hides his selfish motives. If the city wall is breached, he is prepared to take Yan Dashan and the others back to Jiangcheng's Mansion, and take Dong Cheng to break out and run away...

If you go to the city wall, there will be a lot of inconvenience.

The scouts continued to send various news, especially to the south of the capital, the [-] army of the King of Jiangyin was gradually approaching.

Thirty miles.

Twenty miles.

Ten miles!

Five miles...

In the end, Zhu Xiuyuan knew that the siege of the city had begun without the need for scouts to report back.

Because the sound of shouting and fighting had already come from the other side of the city wall and was clearly heard by Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Emperor!"

At this time, Yan Dashan walked into the big tent, his eyes were like a torch. As soon as he entered, he spontaneously stood behind Zhu Xiuyuan, watching all directions and listening in all directions.

"My benefactor, the process has already begun. In order to prevent various dangers, my subordinates must personally protect my benefactor." Yan Dashan suppressed his excitement and nervousness.

"Relax, I believe in your ability, and nothing will happen to us!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Yan Dashan nodded and silently retreated behind Zhu Xiuyuan.

From now on, Yan Dashan will be Zhu Xiuyuan's shadow and will never leave him.

At the same time, the news that Jiangyin King's army had begun to attack the city had already spread to the palace and was known to Emperor Chen.

"You traitor, when I catch you, I will slap you with my own hands!" Emperor Chen blew his beard and glared. A small pile of ceramic fragments had accumulated under the imperial steps.

"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, don't let your anger break your body." Concubine You advised her warmly.

"Hey!" Chen Huang sat back on the throne, his expression very complicated and uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. There are [-] Yulin Guards stationed on the southern wall of the capital. The Yulin Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers. They usually receive the highest pay. They are the elite of my Da Chen..."

"Furthermore, Zhu Aiqing's [-] divine thunder army is stationed on the south side of the capital. They are also ready to support at any time! Zhu Aiqing once used a variety of new weapons to defeat the [-] Yan army in Jiangzhou."

"In terms of defending the city, I wish Aiqing's Divine Thunder Army will be miraculous and be a solid backing for us... Your Majesty, please rest assured..."

After some consolation from Concubine You, Emperor Chen suddenly thought of Zhu Xiuyuan's ability to defend the city, and he couldn't help but feel a little more confident.

However, the Shenlei Army has no responsibility to guard the city wall, so at the beginning, the Shenlei Army will not climb the city wall to fight.

What Concubine You said is right, the Divine Thunder Army is the last solid shield.

The Divine Thunder Army will not be dispatched until the Royal Forest Guards are in a hurry.

Moreover, in the eyes of Emperor Chen and Concubine You, his pro-army troops, including Yulin Guards and Jin Wu Guards, can be considered the elites of the entire Chen Kingdom. Even compared with the strongest Liang Kingdom, they should not be far behind.

With the Divine Thunder Army as their backing, they would naturally not attack the city wall immediately.

But is this really the case?

The camp of the Divine Thunder Army.

Chinese army tent.

The shouts and fighting sounds kept coming, like a terrifying nightmare, constantly attacking Zhu Xiuyuan's ears, making him unable to live in peace.
