Chapter 625 Reinforcement
Zhu Xiuyuan looked behind her. It didn't matter, but he felt embarrassed because Zhu Xiuyuan actually saw the old beggar, drinking and eating meat leisurely in the back.

"No, I came out alone!" Dong Shuzhen cried softly.

"you alone!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked. He got up and pulled Dong Shuzhen to look around. He was relieved when he saw that there were no missing arms or legs.

"Master, why are you here with your wife?" Zhu Xiuyuan pulled his wife to the old beggar.

"Oh, the old beggar was wandering around the Yan Army camp today. When he passed by the stables, he found Zhen'er hiding inside, so he brought her here." The old beggar said in a straight voice while eating the meat.

stable?

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Dong Shuzhen: "Madam, why... why did you run into the stable?"

"I...I..." Dong Shuzhen's eyes turned red and she was about to shed tears.

"That's all. Master just happened to meet you. It's God's will. Now it's safe, it's safe..."

Zhu Xiuyuan touched Dong Shuzhen's head to express comfort.

"Since you're here, you'll be in peace. Since you're here, just stay here." Zhu Xiuyuan finally said helplessly.

"Ok!"

Dong Shuzhen nodded sharply, her big head seemed to be equipped with springs, and she didn't know she was tired. She pursed her lips tightly, looking like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Since Dong Shuzhen arrived, Zhu Xiuyuan no longer wanted to sleep. He chatted with the old beggar for a while. After a while, lunch break time came, and Zhao Pu sent someone to invite him again.

Zhu Xiuyuan gave Dong Shuzhen some instructions, then left the tent and followed the man to Zhao Pu's Chinese army tent...

The difficult time of the afternoon begins...

at the same time.

A massive water battle is going on fiercely on the Yangtze River between Liyang County in Hezhou and Dangtu County in Xuanzhou.

King Poyang personally led thousands of warships, carrying tens of thousands of naval troops and hundreds of thousands of land soldiers, totaling more than 20 troops.

Thousands of sails raced across the Yangtze River, and more than [-] men and horses set out from Jiangzhou and sailed down the Yangtze River.

Along the way, they experienced several battles with the Yan army and navy in Wangjiang, Wankou, Songyang, Nangtan, Wuhu and other places.

Finally today, they reached the front line between Hezhou and Dangtu.

This line of defense was exactly the line of defense that King Liyang set up on the Yangtze River after he killed the Hezhou garrison and incorporated the Hezhou camp defenders.

As long as this line is broken through, King Poyang's 20-strong army can directly enter the river on the north side of the capital, greatly alleviating the difficulties in the capital!
At this time, the water war is in full swing!
There were shouts of killing, and various collision sounds shook the sky.

In addition, at a glance, almost all of them were fiercely burning warships, with flaming flowers rising on the river.

At that time, water battles mostly used "building boats", "mengchong", "fighting ships" and "walking boats".

Judging from the number of ships and naval forces, King Poyang had an absolute advantage.

Because King Poyang gathered soldiers and horses from several states, the scale was naturally huge.

However, King Liyang only annexed the soldiers of the Hezhou camp, and the number of naval forces and warships was far insufficient.

Taken together, King Poyang will definitely win this battle!

Behind the battlefield, a huge building ship was parked there. It was as tall as a mountain or an island across the river. It was five stories high and could accommodate more than a thousand soldiers.

This kind of giant building ship is usually a flagship, a large ship used by the military commander.

On the highest floor of the building, which is the fifth floor, behind the wooden parapet, King Poyang stands there.

He stood upright, staring at the river ahead without blinking.

Therefore, the ship is five floors high, with excellent vision, and a panoramic view of the battlefield ahead.

A few steps in front of King Poyang, behind the wooden parapet, there were countless archers setting up their bows.The arrows are already on the string, and as long as there is an invading enemy ship, they will release arrows at the same time.

Bows and arrows are also the most commonly used weapon in water warfare.

The ship is five stories high. In fact, wooden parapets are built on each floor. There is an archer hidden behind each wooden battlement.

If an enemy ship invades, five levels of archers will shoot arrows at the same time. From a high position, the arrows will be overwhelming. The scene is very shocking.

Behind King Poyang were the generals in his palace and some generals in the army.

They also followed King Poyang and looked at the river ahead, without blinking, silently observing the changes in the battle situation.

They can only be seen rocking when the ship rises and falls with the waves.Only when the river breeze blows can you see their cloaks fluttering...

After the high-rise ships, there are hundreds of warships, such as "Mengchong" and "Fighting Ship".

On these warships, the soldiers were lined up in rows with long spears in their hands, the tips of their spears flashing with cold light.

The archers, hiding behind the side of the ship, have also drawn their bows and stringed them.

None of them participated in the war, but they were ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

The officers and soldiers on these hundreds of warships were all motionless, waiting for military orders, only swaying up and down with the ups and downs of the warships.

At first glance, it looks like a buoy on the water.

...The fifth floor of the building.

"The navy of King Liyang is nothing more than this!"

King Poyang suddenly spoke, and his whole body moved.

I saw him slowly approaching the wooden parapet and holding on to it with both hands. The archers hiding behind the parapet leaned to both sides and gave up their positions.

The generals behind him looked at each other and took two steps forward slowly. One of the generals smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right. Judging from the current battle situation, we will be able to go straight to the north of the capital this evening at the latest." Jiangmian!”

"In this way, the crisis in the capital can be resolved!"

"The capital has been trapped for several days. I wonder what the situation is now?"

"I hope the capital is safe..."

The generals discussed it later, and in the end they were still worried about the situation in the capital.

After hearing these words, King Poyang frowned slightly, raised his head, and looked towards the river farther away, which was the direction of the capital.

"Eh!"

King Poyang sighed slightly and patted the wooden parapet with one hand, a look of worry on his face...

at the same time.

Runzhou, Jintan County.

The King of Lin'an in Hangzhou led troops from several states in the south, totaling more than [-] troops. After several days of continuous fighting, they had already reached the base of Jintan County.

In addition, there was King Zhenze's Zhenze Army, totaling more than 30 soldiers and horses, which combined with King Lin'an's 35 soldiers and horses, making a total of [-] troops.

It can be said that there are many soldiers and generals, and there is strength in numbers!

On the other hand, the rebellious King of Jiangyin, as well as the Huzhou garrison and Suzhou Changzhou King who had taken refuge with King Jiangyin, etc., have gathered all the rebels, estimated to be only tens of thousands, and they are holding on to the county seat of Jintan County.

However, facing the impact of 35 troops, King Jiangyin's tens of thousands of troops were really not enough.

In fact, when King Jiangyin failed to attack the capital and was beaten to pieces by Zhu Xiuyuan's Divine Thunder Army, King Jiangyin was defeated, a complete failure!

According to King Jiangyin's earlier plan, relying on the tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he broke through the relatively empty capital in one fell swoop, and then entered the imperial city, forcing Chen Huangchuan to be in his position and cook raw rice.

First sit on the throne, and then deal with King Jiangdu in Jiangbei and the four princes of Yan Kingdom.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.The King of Jiangyin was unlucky and happened to encounter Zhu Xiuyuan's Divine Thunder Army. He attacked the city four times, but was blocked by the Divine Thunder Army and could not advance...

It's okay now, the opportunity to attack the capital has been lost.

Because as time goes by, reinforcements from the south are bound to arrive, and they will fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

No, King Jiangyin and the 35 reinforcements led by King Zhenze and King Linhai faced off at the county seat of Jintan County.

With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses facing off against 35 reinforcements, Jintan County is not a fortified city... How long can the King of Jiangyin hold it?
Therefore, when King Jiangyin was blocked from entering the city by the Divine Thunder Army, he had actually completely failed.

Now it's just a matter of survival!

Five miles away from Jintan County, war drums were beating and trumpets were blaring. King Zhenze and King Linhai were gathering their armies to prepare to storm Jintan County.

King Zhenze had received some vague news before, saying that the situation in the capital was very bad, and if it continued, the Chen Kingdom might be destroyed.

Just as King Linhai arrived with an army of 30 men, they joined forces together and decided to attack Jintan County immediately!
War is imminent!
This is an authentic ancient battle of siege and defense.

There are no various new weapons used by the Divine Thunder Army, only rolling logs, thunder stones, gold juice, bows and arrows, as well as siege ladders, siege hammers, etc.

This is really a bloody battle!
The attacking party did not care about life and death, and the war drums were beating all the time, because they were in a hurry and wanted to rush into the capital immediately and relieve the danger of the capital.

The defenders of the city are also engaged in a battle between trapped beasts. They know very well that if the reinforcements break the city, they, the rebel king, rebel generals, rebels, etc., may not escape death.

Rebellion is a serious crime against the Nine Clans!

Therefore, the battle in Jintan County was very tragic.

Even dozens of miles away, the wind blowing over is still mixed with the smell of blood...

Finally, at the end of Shenshi, around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the reinforcements entered Jintan County.

A steady stream of reinforcements came like a tide, which was impossible to stop.

Jintan County is finally broken.

In order to rush for time, King Linhai personally led 30 troops and set off immediately, heading straight for Yanling and Qu'a counties.

After taking down the two counties, they rushed to Jurong County without stopping. Jurong County is the nearest city to the south of the capital.

Most of the remaining soldiers and horses of King Jiangyin were deployed in Jintan County. In other counties such as Yanling, Qu'a, Jurong and other counties, there were only a few hundred soldiers guarding the city.

Totally vulnerable.

King Linhai was unstoppable along the way, while King Zhenze led more than [-] troops to stay in Jintan County.

He captured the king of Jiangyin alive, the king of Changzhou alive, the Huzhou garrison alive, and killed all the rebel generals at all levels, as well as all the rebels. I will not mention how blood flowed in the county.

At the end of Youshi and the beginning of Xushi, around seven o'clock in the evening.

The Shangyuan Festival has just passed, and it's still early February. It's still the transition between winter and spring, and it gets dark relatively early.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, it was already dark.

It was also at this time that King Poyang, who came along the Yangtze River, led 20 reinforcements under his account and would soon arrive at the river on the north side of the capital.

King Linhai led an army of 30 troops, also starting from Jurong County and approaching the capital.

The crisis in the capital seems to be over soon.

……

Melon step.

Yan army camp.

It was also at this time that Zhu Xiuyuan dragged his exhausted body out of Yan Jun's central tent.

It was so suspenseful and dangerous, Zhu Xiuyuan fooled him for another afternoon.

During this period, Zhu Xiuyuan had been teaching some "quadratic equations of one variable". The "educated people" recruited by Zhao Pu couldn't understand it at all, and they didn't know what it meant.

I don't know how many times Zhao Pu asked to skip the so-called "quadratic equation" and go directly to the divine thunder formula.

But Zhu Xiuyuan had already made up his mind. He would not reveal the formula of divine thunder unless he had no choice but to delay it.

Zhao Pu is naturally not stupid either... It is difficult to explain how many intrigues, intrigues, and temptations there are. Anyway, Zhu Xiuyuan has had enough, and he is exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Is there any news coming out of the capital?"

On the way back, Zhu Xiuyuan asked Yan Dashan.

"My dear friend, the Yan army is still blocking the news. Our people...can't get out. I don't know what the situation in the capital is now." Yan Dashan looked slightly distressed.

"That's it!"

Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head, he is now counting on Kou Wanwan to see what good news she can bring.

After a while, the two returned to the "Chinese Army Tent" in the "camp within the camp".

"My husband is back!"

Dong Shuzhen heard the sound a long time ago and rushed out of the tent in advance.

When Zhu Xiuyuan appeared in sight, she held up the hem of her skirt and trotted over, pushing aside Yan Dashan who was supporting Zhu Xiuyuan, and took over the glorious task of "supporting her husband".

"Madam, you're not messing around this afternoon, are you?"

Seeing Dong Shuzhen's happy look, Zhu Xiuyuan felt inexplicably warm in his heart, and half of his fatigue disappeared.

"No no!"

Dong Shuzhen shook her head repeatedly.

But Zhu Xiuyuan always felt that she was a little guilty because she didn't look at him and her eyes were a little evasive.

"Husband, you must be exhausted. I have prepared hot water and delicious food. Should you, husband, take a bath first or eat first?"

Dong Shuzhen helped Zhu Xiuyuan towards the "Chinese Army Tent".

As for Dashan, he was replaced with the honorable task of "supporting his benefactor" and just followed behind, not daring to show any expression on his face to avoid being violently beaten by his benefactor with her pink fist.

This morning, my nose was bruised and my face was swollen after being violently beaten by Zhun En’s mother, and I haven’t fully recovered yet...

Facing Dong Shuzhen's attentive smile, Zhu Xiuyuan put all the little doubts in his heart out of his mind. "Let's eat first, my husband is very hungry now!" Zhu Xiuyuan finally said.

After entering the big tent, Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned.

I saw two wooden tables in his big tent, spliced ​​together to form one big table.The big table was filled with countless dishes, so full that there was no room left.

These dishes were steaming hot, and it seemed they had just been served.

The aroma overflowed with the heat, and the entire tent was filled with the rich aroma of food.

Zhu Xiuyuan was really hungry. While he was salivating, he couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Dong Shuzhen.

There are so many dishes, it’s an exaggeration!
"Ouch..."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind the table.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked around and saw that it was indeed an old beggar.

The old beggar seemed to be lying under the table, and now he is emerging from under the table.
