Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 609
"North of the Yangtze River in the capital, in Jiangpu County, there are tens of thousands of Yan troops and tens of thousands of rebels. They are crossing the river in large numbers!" Chen Huang took over.

"Now, Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, personally leads an army of [-] and is stationed in Guabu. He can cross the river at any time!"

"And we only have [-] soldiers in the Beijing camp, which is not enough to stop the Yan army in Jiangpu County. How should we deal with the [-] Yan army of the fourth prince of Yan Kingdom, Zhao Pu?"

"Han Aiqing, although we have won a great victory, the capital and the imperial city still need to be garrisoned... What good ideas do you have? If anyone has a way to defeat the enemy, I will definitely reward you greatly! It's not a problem to be granted the title of marquis or prime minister!"

After Chen Huang finished speaking, his eyes wandered among the ministers, especially Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan. Chen Huang very much hoped that the two of them could create another miracle.

However, the hall was quiet for a while, but no one stood up.

How to solve this situation?
There are more than 20 Yan troops and rebels in Jiangbei!
Head-to-head confrontation is the same as hitting a stone with an egg, unless you use strategy...

Ok? !

Trick!

Zhu Xiuyuan's brows moved, and his eyes suddenly became profound.

Plot, plot, he seems to have caught some inspiration, but it's still very vague...

"Report...to report to Your Majesty, Yuezhou, Ezhou, Jiangzhou, Xuanzhou and other places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, at the call of King Poyang, have gathered 17 naval troops, and the remaining cavalry, infantry and other generals, a total of [-]. Take a thousand warships, sail down the Yangtze River, and enter the capital to serve the King!"

"But due to the obstruction of Yan State's navy along the way and the Liyang King's navy blocking the river, Poyang King's army fought hard and could reach the capital as soon as the day after tomorrow!"

As soon as the scout's words came out, the entire hall, including Zhu Xiuyuan, Chen Huang, etc., were stunned for a moment.

This is...good news!

And good news about southern reinforcements!

They couldn't remember how long it had been since they heard news of reinforcements.

It seems that they have forgotten that they can still get reinforcements.

But they didn't expect that they really waited for reinforcements, and when they arrived, it was 20... Oh my god, 20!
Emperor Chen and the ministers were a little stunned, and it took them a long time to react.

Yes, yes, the Chen State has a vast territory and rich resources, and there are also many troops stationed in various places!
The states in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, such as Yuezhou, Ezhou, Jiangzhou, Xuanzhou, etc., are border states, and usually have more troops stationed there.

Therefore, King Poyang of Jiangzhou raised his arms and immediately raised an army of 20 people!

Chen Huang and other monarchs and ministers were stunned, and then they felt ecstatic in their hearts!
That's 20 reinforcements!

After the ministers were overjoyed, they thought to themselves and figured it out in an instant. Yes, the capital has been under siege for how many days, and the garrison further away must have begun to take action.

The reason why the King of Jiangyin stormed the southern wall of the capital was to gain this time difference and destroy the capital before the troops of King Qin from the southern prefectures and counties arrived.

But unfortunately, King Jiangyin's wishful thinking was beaten to pieces by Zhu Xiuyuan's Divine Thunder Army.

"Report...to report to your majesty, King Zhenze of Changzhou has led an army of [-] troops to attack the defense line established by King Jiangyin, with great results."

"There are also more than [-] troops from Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Mingzhou, Muzhou, Lizhou, Taizhou and other places, and they are killing the rebel Huzhou garrison and the Suzhou King Changzhou!"

"It is estimated that in the next day or so, more than [-] King Qin's troops will be able to annihilate the traitors and King Qin will enter the capital!"

Another scout brings good news.

This is 30 reinforcements, plus the 20 from King Poyang of Jiangzhou, the total is more than [-]!
"The 20-strong army commanded by King Poyang came from the Yangtze River waterway. Although it was blocked by the Yan Navy along the way, it was faster than the reinforcements from Hangzhou and other places!"

"As long as King Poyang's 20-strong army arrives in the capital, although it may not be able to relieve the capital's difficulties, it will be enough to confront the more than 20-strong Yan army in the north of the Yangtze River."

"At that time, the capital will have nothing to worry about. If we wait for the 30 troops coming from Hangzhou and other directions, then our capital will not be afraid of any invading enemies!"

"The key now is that Queen Poyang will arrive later. And the Yan army from the north of the Yangtze River may cross the river at any time. There is still such a long time between today and tomorrow. How should we deal with it?" The ministers were discussing and discussing. Go, and finally focus all your attention on how to delay until the day after tomorrow, that is, the time when King Poyang's army arrives.

The news that King Poyang led an army of 20 to kill must have been received by the Yan army in the north of the Yangtze River. They may cross the river in advance to attack the city...

The ministers discussed and discussed, and their voices gradually became weaker.

Because this is still unsolvable.

This time difference is as long as a fatal day and a half. In this time, the Yan army may be able to capture the capital.

The Divine Thunder Army is indeed very good at defending the city.

However, the number of the Divine Thunder Army is still too small. It is just enough to defend the city wall on the south side of the capital. If it is scattered to the walls around the entire capital, it may not be of much effect.

Even the method of "non-Shen Lei Army soldiers operating new weapons" will not work.

First, operating new weapons requires a certain level of skill, otherwise it will fail to injure the enemy and will instead self-destruct.

Even a few months ago, the first use of new weapons in Jiangzhou gave Zhu Xiuyuan enough buffer time.

Because he defended the city for ten days, Zhu Xiuyuan took it out one by one, so he had enough time.

But now, it's only a day and a half, which is simply not enough time.

Second, it is difficult to store new weapons.

In fact, there is not much inventory in Shenleifang, and after four battles to defend the city in the south of the city, more than half of it has been consumed.

If the remaining inventory were spread evenly across the entire capital, I'm afraid it would be used up within an hour or two...

There is no way around it, and the time difference of one and a half days cannot be filled...

If this time gap cannot be filled, even if 100 million reinforcements are to come later, it will be useless. By then, the imperial court will be destroyed.

Therefore, the voices of the ministers discussing became weaker and weaker, the volume became smaller and smaller, the passion subsided, until finally there was silence, and deathly silence returned.

Chen Huang also knew where the difficulty lay.

But at present, it seems that it cannot be solved.

Do you really want to kill Da Chen?
Chen Huang looked up to the sky and sighed, slumped on the dragon chair, the trace of blood on his face disappeared again, and he was completely pale.

Now it seems that King Poyang's 20 troops cannot solve the crisis in the capital, but are like a reminder.

Because Yan Jun got the news, he would definitely take action in advance.

The Yan State and those rebel kings have been planning for so long, step by step, to force the capital into a dilemma where both the north and the south are enemies. Why?
Could it be that he wanted to surround the capital and scare Emperor Chen for fun?
Of course not, they went to such great lengths just to destroy the Chen Kingdom in one fell swoop.

The Yan army will not wait for the arrival of King Poyang's 20 reinforcements before confronting him... No, this is against common sense. They will definitely attack the city immediately!
In other words, Chen Guo will perish.

The dragon chair under Chen Huang's buttocks is no longer just as simple as burning his buttocks, but will grow a pair of wings and leave him completely.

After figuring this out, Chen Huang suddenly lost all hope.

He slumped on the dragon chair, looking up at the roof of the Jinshen Hall, his eyes dull. No one else knew what he was thinking at the moment. Perhaps he was regretting not running the country well...

Concubine You next to her had an even sad look on her face.

If the Chen Kingdom is destroyed, as the noble concubine of Emperor Chen, she will still be able to live in a state of enchantment... If she is lucky enough to be captured by the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, it will be better, and she can at least save her life.
