Chapter 635: Fighting in vain
Xiong Yi rested his hand on the wall, his veins were exposed, his nails were overturned, and he was dripping with blood.
Huo Ran turned his head and looked at Na Wei: "Assistant, have you seen that? Everyone is prosperous, and everyone suffers. Director Wang slaps the court in the face, so why not slap you in the face?"
Na Wei sneered: "Mr. Xiong, do you mean that the failure of this battle was because of me? Our Southwest Wolf Soldiers fought bravely and annihilated countless enemies, all the way to the gates of Ruyin City. What we agreed at that time was that I would take the victory. Ruyin, my combat goal has been achieved, but Chen Yan failed. It’s you, will you withdraw?”
"The general didn't withdraw!" Xiong Yi said.
"He really wants to!" Na Wei said calmly: "It's just that he has a big face, so Li Dachui and Jiang Qian chose him."
"Li Dachui and the Demon Queen can only choose one side with their troops. Since they surrounded the general, they can't besiege you again. Why don't you continue to attack Ruyin and share the pressure of the general?" Xiong Yi asked.
Na Wei looked at Xiong Yi sarcastically: "Mr. Xiong, have you ever led troops to fight? Before the opponent's chess pieces fall on the chessboard, I am not a god. I can tell whether he chooses me or the general. The only thing I can do is The only choice is to leave first before they have time Surround me! General Xiang is old. He has lost his decisiveness in killing. He is always hesitant and hesitant, so he can be taken advantage of by the opponent. If he was like me and retreated immediately when the situation was bad, how could he be surrounded today? Sleepy?”
Xiong Yi was immediately speechless.
Although they knew that the actual situation was not like this, they couldn't refute what Na Wei said so plausibly. They couldn't say that Na Wei was colluding with the other party on top of the city.
Our own morale has dropped to freezing point, and if we let the people below know that the new auxiliary king actually colluded with the enemy, will everyone still have the face?
"Okay, please stop saying a few words!" Zhou Zheng on the other side looked livid: "Assistant, you have just been named the Assistant King by His Majesty. All military and civil affairs are decided by you. What will happen to this matter now? You have to make an idea to deal with it, right?”
Na Wei waved his hand and said: "How to deal with it? If he dares to come ashore, I will definitely smash him to pieces. If he doesn't come ashore, then let him go!"
"Let him go?" Zhou Zheng was dumbfounded.
"What else?" Na Wei said: "Let the soldiers swim over to fight the enemy? This is your fault, and that person will not take the blame!"
After leaving these words, Na Wei turned around and walked away.
"Assistant government, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Tong'an County must save him!" Zhou Zheng looked at his back and shouted.
"Of course we have to save him!" Na Wei stopped and turned around: "But right now we only have the troops on hand to protect Danyang. As you can see, if it weren't for our Southwest Wolf Soldiers, Director Wang would have gone ashore to wreak havoc! To save Tong'an County, you either have to wait for my troops to arrive from the southwest, or you need to mobilize troops from surrounding counties. Don't even think about the troops in Danyang now!"
Zhou Zheng was speechless. He turned around and looked at the fleet of ships showing off their might on the river, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Find a way to mobilize troops!" Xiong Yi said through gritted teeth.
Zhou Zheng walked to his side, shook his head, pointed to the fleet on the river, and whispered: "Chief Assistant, in this situation, which surrounding counties are willing to send troops? Who is not afraid that after their own county soldiers are all mobilized, this Director Wang's navy then rushed ashore to cause trouble? No matter how far away the water was, it couldn't save the nearby fire!"
"But we have to find a way, even if we are farther away, we still need to mobilize troops!" Xiong Yi said.
"I'm afraid it's too late!" Zhou Zheng closed his eyes. "Chief Assistant, our great Chu cannot live without navy!"
"I don't know if Chen Yan is dead!" "Chief Assistant, if Chen Yan is still alive, do you still dare to use him? Hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of naval forces have been wiped out by him!" Zhou right way.
"Can you find a naval general who is stronger than Chen Yan?" Xiong Yi said: "The defeat of Chibi is really not to blame on him. When Zhu Chi just got the blueprints of new warships from outside the pass, he asked to build new ships. , we don’t want this new type of warship to fall into the hands of the Demon Queen. In the end, the demon queen still had these new warships, but we didn't. Furthermore, no one could have imagined that the demon woman would show up to help in the battle of Chibi! Chen Yan was guilty of the defeat, and so were we. If you can’t escape the relationship, the other three points will be your life!”
Zhou Zheng closed his eyes, and what appeared in front of his eyes was the scene of Jiang Qian in plain clothes beating drums to help in the battle of Xiangyang.
The appearance of the Demon Queen left such a deep impression on the army,
When this scene appeared on the battlefield again, it was no wonder that Chen Yan's navy's military morale fluctuated and it no longer had the will to fight.
"There is no place for our navy to stand above the river!" Zhou Zhengdao: "After much deliberation, we can only go to Danjiang, to Yunwu Mountain! There is a shipyard there, and more importantly, Danjiang The narrowest part of the river is only tens of feet long. Fortresses are set up on both sides, with trebuchets and crossbows deployed. One or two thousand warriors can guard the river. "
"If Chen Yan is not dead, let him take charge of this matter, build ships, and train troops. We have no shortage of craftsmen and people who are familiar with water skills. In less than two years, we will be able to build a powerful navy!" Xiong Yi punched the wall with a heavy punch, but he didn't expect that his nails had turned over before, but this time he grimaced in pain.
"It's just that in the past few years, we're afraid we'll have to turn our backs on ourselves!" Zhou Zheng said.
"You should worry about this matter. First, get as much money as possible from the Household Department. Otherwise, it will be difficult to wait until Na Wei changes people in the Household Department and then try to get the money out of Na Wei!" Xiong Yi said. "It's really difficult. Next, we not only have to fight Jiang Qian, Li Dachui, but also Na Wei!"
"I hope General Xiang can come back soon, and we will be more relaxed!" Zhou Zheng said.
"If you want him to abandon the army and return alone, he will definitely refuse. Even if he wants to come back, he will have to wait until Tong'an falls! And he wants to defend Tong'an County." Xiong Yi shook his head and said, "You go worry about the navy. I will do the work of persuading surrounding counties to send troops to rescue Tong'an County. I don't want to show my face, but I have to gather an army."
Seeing Xiong Yi's stooped body staggering away from the city, Zhou Zheng felt sad. He couldn't help but remember that in the spring of this year, Jiang Qian summoned him, He Jiong, Lin Yunqi and others to discuss matters in the palace. At that time, everyone discussed But how to take advantage of the chaos in the Qin State to diligently repair internal affairs, reorganize the army, and then wait for the opportunity to go north to see if there is a chance to dominate the world?
For hundreds of years, Chu State has been playing a role of self-protection, while Qin State has been aggressively attacking. Why can't it be reversed?
In just half a year, Chu State had fallen to its current state.
Did I do something wrong?
Zhou Zheng lowered his head.
Director Wang left, smashed Danyang's dock into a mess, ignited a raging fire with another round of rockets, and then walked away.
Niu Er, who was frightened outside the city, finally returned home. Although he didn't get a job today, when he went home, he went to pick up a small amount of rice and saved some food, which could last for more than ten days.
Niu Er was happy when he opened the door to his home.
And in the night, a figure stumbled onto the Danyang Pier. Looking at the destroyed pier, the man knelt on the ground and cried silently.
