Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 39 The Safest Mission

Xing Daorong had never encountered such a simple and pleasant task since he traveled through time.

Just shouting twice on the city wall will help repel the enemy. This feeling is really...

So cool!
Xing Daorong had to admit that although he wanted to die, it was really cool to gain credit by doing nothing.

Chen Ying, who was standing by, saw that his general was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to say, "General, Zhou Yu is very famous, but I think he is just like this."

"The enemy is being kept out. It seems there is no way out!"

Bao Long also echoed: "Who says it's not true? Once our general stands on the top of the city, even if he says he has thousands of troops, it will be useless!"

Seeing that the situation was safe, the two guys started praising Xing Daorong one after another, and he was praised to the sky.

but…

Although Xing Daorong was relaxed, he was still a little worried.

As for what worries you...

It’s just that there are too few soldiers and horses in the city!
In order to coordinate the four armies, Liu Bei's military forces were basically dispersed.

In Jiangling City, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses under Xing Daorong's command.

If Zhou Yu goes crazy and rushes over, things will be really difficult to handle.

but…

I think Zhou Yu should not go crazy.

He didn't know how many troops were in the city. If he really attacked and failed to take it, wouldn't he be trapped in a jar?

The 30,000-strong army would probably be trapped here, and it would be even more difficult for Zhou Yu to explain when he returned.

So although Xing Daorong was a little worried, he was generally relaxed.

only…

This state of relaxation did not last long before I heard the sound of drums in the distance.

Xing Daorong's heart sank, and a bad premonition suddenly arose.

He immediately looked into the distance and saw that the Eastern Wu army was rushing towards Jiangling City!
...

"Zhou Yu is crazy!"

When Xing Daorong saw the Eastern Wu soldiers coming to attack him, his mind went buzzing.

It's not that he's afraid of death.

Ok…

He couldn't possibly be afraid of death.

But he didn't expect Zhou Yu to take such a risk, which even disrupted Zhuge Liang's plan.

While he was stunned, Chen Ying and Bao Long beside him had already started shouting.

"General! What is this guy trying to do?!"

"General, this... this is an attack on the city!"

No matter how much they shouted, it was obvious that these two guys couldn't give any advice at all.

But this woke up Xing Daorong, and someone kicked him and said, "What are you standing there for? Go and defend the city!"

As he said this, he realized that the situation was critical and this was his chance to sacrifice himself!

He immediately stood at the forefront of the city wall and shouted, "Zhou Yu! You are so angry because my military advisor discovered your trick!"

"Today, I, Xing Daorong, will make you die under the city of Jiangling!"

After saying that, Xing Daorong waited for the opponent to shoot arrows at him.

It’s a pity that the Eastern Wu obviously did not have this intention, but directly set up flying ladders and battering rams.

...

These days, it is actually not easy to break into a city.

Take the last time Guan Yu entered Changsha, for example, but he didn’t actually fight to the very end.

It was just that there was internal strife in Changsha City, so they surrendered.

So now Xing Daorong was facing a real siege, and it was her first time as a young lady. Looking at the densely packed heads under the city, Xing Daorong's scalp was a little numb.

Especially when he saw the Eastern Wu vanguard army rushing up with ladders, their indomitable courage made him feel even more uneasy.

Chen Ying and Bao Long on the side were even more inclined to retreat, and they kept persuading Xing Daorong, "General, there are too many soldiers and horses in the Eastern Wu army. How can we defend the city with our men and horses?"

"It is better to leave the city first, wait for the troops to arrive, and then counterattack the city."

These two guys are thinking about running away before they even encounter the enemy!

Moreover, after hearing this, the soldiers around him also looked at Xing Daorong, and it was obvious that the army's morale was disrupted.

Xing Daorong finally understood why those who were said to disturb the morale of the army were to be executed.

The power of these words is really great. Didn’t you see that the morale of the troops in the city was shaken as soon as Chen Ying and Bao Long said this?

There's no way Xing Daorong could run away!
He turned around and cursed: "A general should forget his family when receiving an order and forget his body when facing the enemy! How can you escape from the battlefield?"

"Besides, the four armies are not far away. We only need to hold out for one day, and reinforcements will surely arrive."

"If we can't hold out for even one day, won't the lord punish us when he comes back?"

"You're still thinking about getting promoted, what the hell!"

Xing Daorong's words contained all kinds of coercion, inducement, and moral interests, which naturally discouraged those who wanted to "run away".

The intention to defend the city returned, but the difference in numbers was ultimately difficult to make up.

Fortunately, the city defenses in Jiangling City were quite good, so we were able to hold out.

Hardwood, fallen rocks, lime powder, hot oil and boiling water were thrown down without regard for their lives. All the soldiers worked together, and even Chen Ying and Bao Long joined in.

After all, as Xing Daorong said, if we persist for just one day, we will succeed, and everyone still has the belief that they will succeed.

...

Under the city of Jiangling, Zhou Yu soon discovered that his inference was correct.

There are very few soldiers left in the city!

Even less than I imagined!

At first glance, there were only three thousand people.

If his momentum was strong enough, these three thousand people might be scared away.

However, the general on the city wall seemed to have won the support of the soldiers. With just a few words, he stabilized the morale of the soldiers.

Now we are relying on the city defense to hold on.

In order not to expose his intentions, Zhou Yu did not bring many siege equipment with him when he came. If there was enough time, it would naturally be no problem for him to attack Jiangling City, but now he had to race against time!

Seeing that he was blocked by Xing Daorong alone, he immediately shouted, "Who can climb to the top of the city first and help me kill the general and seize the flag?"

There was a general, tall and mighty, with a burly figure, short black hair, hard and thick, like steel needles, a broad face, ruddy, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and he was intimidating without anger. He immediately asked for orders from the side: "Commander-in-chief, I will go!"

Zhou Yu turned around and saw that it was Gan Ning and Gan Xingba!
Gan Ning had just joined Jiangdong following Huang Zuchu's surrender, but he had already shown his bravery.

Zhou Yu knew that he was very capable, so he said happily: "Great! General Gan, Jiangling City depends on you!"

Gan Ning immediately took the order, selected two thousand elite soldiers, and was about to rush to the top of the city!

...

"General, it's bad! It's bad!"

Xing Daorong saw that although the enemy troops were numerous, they could not rush over for the time being. Just when he felt relieved, he saw Bao Long running towards him again.

Xing Daorong knew that Zhou Yu's attack on the city would not be so simple, so he was prepared. At this moment, his eyes widened and he shouted, "Why are you panicking? Are the Jiangdong people going to charge up?"

"Oh, the people from Jiangdong are attacking the city over there. General, go and take a look!" Bao Long looked really nervous. It seemed that the people from Jiangdong had launched a decisive battle.

Xing Daorong knew that the Eastern Wu would launch a strong attack this time, so he immediately stood up and walked away with an axe in hand, saying, "Let's go! Let me see which of the Eastern Wu rats has the guts to be the first to attack!"

Bao Long felt relieved when he heard his general say this.

The Jiangdong rats, the general was able to come back alone, so there is naturally no problem now!
