Chapter 744: If you don’t surrender, there is only one way to go: death!
Two days later, outside Jinling City.
Jiang Chen came here with an army of 35,000!
He left behind an army of 10,000 men and a general under Xu Meng to guard the gate to Jiangnan.
As for the remaining 35,000 troops, they were all brought to Jiangnan!
Looking at the Jinling City in front of him, Jiang Chen felt filled with emotion!
This is his third time in Jinling!
The first disaster relief.
Second investigation into the Ye family!
The first two times went smoothly, but the third time... I don’t know how it will go!
"My Lord, we have arrived at Jinling. Should we attack?"
Xu Meng looked at the Jinling City in front of him and asked Jiang Chen respectfully.
When Jiang Chen heard Xu Meng's words, he did not answer directly, but looked at Yan Youling beside him.
After seeing Jiang Chen's gaze, Yan Youling smiled faintly and said, "My Lord, a strong attack is the most unwise choice for us!"
"I suggest that the Marquis can set up camp here and display his flag!"
"And tell the people in the city that you are here!"
"Who knows, the people in the city might just open the city gates!"
When Jiang Chen heard what Yan Youling said, he felt a little skeptical.
But he finally did as Yan Youling asked!
Jiang Chen ordered Xu Meng and his men to set up camp, and then, under the protection of Zhang San and his men, they arrived not far outside the city gate!
"The Jiang character flag!?"
At this time, all the generals on the city wall were stunned!
There is only one flag with the word "Jiang" on it in Dajing!
That’s Jiang Chen!
Jiang Chen has now reached Jiangnan!
Could it be that the main force of the Eight Wise Kings has been destroyed by Jiang Chen! ?
Because Jiang Chen has always sent people to guard the gates of Jiangnan, the people in Jiangnan are unaware of the situation of the Eighth Wise King!
……
When the generals defending the city saw Jiang Chen coming, they all panicked!
Jiang Chen has fought here, the Eighth Wise King might be defeated!
If the Eight Wise Kings are defeated, what will they do?
Jiang Chen was not easy to deal with. If the Eighth Sage King was defeated, then they...
"Listen, defenders in the city!"
"I am Hou Jiangchen from Jinchuan County, Dajing!"
"I know that you followed the Eighth Wise King because you were bewitched by him!"
"As long as you lay down your weapons, open the city and surrender, I promise not to kill a single one of you!"
"Moreover, I will ask His Majesty to spare you from punishment!"
"Open the city gates and surrender!"
"Don't ask for death!"
"People in the city, I am Jiang Chen! I am here to save you!"
Just when those generals were at a loss, Jiang Chen had already shouted outside!
When the generals heard what Jiang Chen said, they all panicked!
If Jiang Chen shouts like this, their military morale will definitely be in chaos!
What's more, the people in the city will definitely stand on Jiang Chen's side!
This...what should I do!
At this moment, a general in armor, accompanied by his personal soldiers, came to the city wall!
Looking at Jiang Chen below and listening to what Jiang Chen shouted, the general's face became extremely ugly!
"General Lu, what should we do now?"
"General Lu, Jiang Chen has already arrived here. Could something have happened to the prince?"
"General...if something happens to the prince, what should we do?"
"General..."
All the generals on the city wall looked at General Lu!
Because this General Lu was the general left behind by the Eighth Wise Kings!
They were stationed in Jinling County, the forefront of Jiangnan. Among the 20,000 troops left by the Eighth Wise King, 10,000 were stationed here.
Together with the new recruits they recently recruited, there are a total of 30,000 people!
But it’s not a small team!
……
"Why are you panicking!?"
"Hasn't the enemy yet to break in?"
When General Lu saw the panic among his men, his face turned extremely ugly!
When the generals heard what General Lu said, they all lowered their heads and dared not refute.
"Humph!"
"The enemy hasn't even attacked yet, and you've already lost your composure!"
"How can this be so shameful!?"
"I tell you, nothing will happen to the prince!"
"This is Jiang Chen, leading the army around!"
"We only need to hold out for three to five days, and the prince will surely lead the army back to fight!"
"When the time comes, we will work together inside and outside, and Jiang Chen won't be able to escape even if he wants to!"
"So, don't panic!"
General Lu comforted everyone seriously!
But when everyone heard what General Lu said, they didn't believe it at all!
However, they didn't say anything and just dispersed.
Jiang Chen outside the city shouted for a while and then stopped.
He returned to the tent with his personal soldiers.
"Mr. Yan, will the defenders in the city surrender?"
"They don't seem to be moving?"
After Jiang Chen came back, he said with some doubt.
"Haha, Lord Hou, don't worry, they will definitely surrender!*
"Even if they don't want to surrender, the people in the city won't agree!"
Yan Youling is full of confidence!
"This……"
Jiang Chen looked at Yan Youling's confident look. Although he was a little worried, he didn't say anything else.
Since Yan Youling has already said so, he will wait a little longer!
Who knows, there might be a pleasant surprise!
……
Night, in Jinling City.
The generals under the Eight Wise Kings gathered together.
Of course, General Lu was not among them.
"Brothers, what do you think of the current situation?"
"Do we still have a chance of winning?"
"Victory is bullshit! The Eighth Sage King must have been defeated by Lord Jiang!"
"That's right! If the Eighth Sage King hadn't been defeated, how could Lord Jiang have come to Jiangnan!"
"Haha, we have no choice but to surrender. We can't defend Jinling!"
"That's right! With our limited military strength, if we go against Lord Jiang, won't that mean we will die?!"
"Don't even mention Lord Jiang. Even if Lord Jiang doesn't take action, the people in Jinling City will kill us!"
"Ah! That's right. Those people have received great favors from Lord Jiang. How could they possibly help us?!"
"Haha, it's not just the common people, we have also received great favors from Lord Jiang!"
"Yes, if it weren't for Lord Jiang, how could Jiangnan recover so quickly!"
"Or, we surrender...?"
"But what about General Naru?"
"He will definitely not agree to it!"
"How about we tie him up?"
Everyone hit it off and decided to kidnap General Lu and join Jiang Chen!
Now that the Eighth Wise King is gone, it is definitely not possible for General Lu to have enough influence!
If the Eighth Wise Kings were still alive, these generals in Jiangnan might still have persisted.
But now the life and death of the Eighth Wise King is uncertain, they dare not go against Jiang Chen!
After making the decision, everyone went to General Lu’s house to pay their respects!
General Lu thought that everyone was there to discuss how to repel the enemy, and he enthusiastically invited everyone into his house.
But little did he know...his death was approaching!
