The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 374
Wu Jing, Zhang Cheng and others are fine, but Zhu Zhi and Zhu Ran made a lot of contributions with Sun Jian in the South and North Wars in the early years, and they have a lot of prestige in the army, so Zhou Tai wants to avenge them, not only Zhou Tai, but others So did the general.

"My lord, I would also like to send troops with Youping to attack Li Yuan." Chen Wu came out and said.

"That's right, Li Yuan is too deceitful, we can't just let him go like this!" Everyone was talking and cursing Li Yuan.

"Stop arguing, calm down!" Sun Ce let out a low growl. It could be seen that he was very angry, but he didn't lose his mind because of it.Seeing that Sun Ce was angry, everyone dared not speak out, and returned to their positions one after another.

"Gong Jin, what do you think about this matter?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu, no matter what he would discuss with Zhou Yu before making a decision.

Zhou Yu looked a little disappointed, and replied: "My lord, Li Yuan's move is to damage the morale of our army, and even lure our army out of the city to fight him. If we really go out to fight him, we will really fall into the trap."

"But we have to avenge the revenge of General Zhu and others." Zhou Tai interjected.

"Youping, don't worry, we will naturally avenge General Zhu's revenge, but not now, our greatest advantage now is Wu Jun, relying on Wu Jun's defense, we can still deal with Li Yuan, once we discard this advantage and fight Li Yuan There is no doubt that we will be defeated, we have no advantage in terms of military strength, and one less soldier is equivalent to a loss of combat power, so we must cherish every soldier's life and not go out to fight at will." Although Zhou Yu also wanted to go out of the city to meet Li Yuan It's a big fight, but he knows they can't afford it.

"Having said that, Li Yuan's soldiers are also ordinary people, and they can't be resurrected after death. Why can't we fight him? You're doing too much for others' ambition to destroy your own prestige." Zhou Tai said a little dissatisfied.

"You Ping, don't talk to General Zhou like this." Military Chen pulled Zhou Tai back, afraid that he would talk indiscriminately.In fact, they usually respect Zhou Yu very much, but Zhou Tai is so angry in his heart that's why he speaks like this.

"You don't know, You Ping. Although Li Yuan's soldiers are like us, they can't be resurrected after death, but he can afford it and we can't afford it. Now we are blocked here by him. The only way out is Kuaiji. We In addition, the strength of Kuaiji is only 1000 people, which cannot be compared with him at all. As far as I know, he has more than 7 soldiers and horses who have stepped into Jiangdong. Even if he divides his troops to fight Yuzhang and Luling, then he There are at least 4 people outside the city, which is only a lot more than ours, so we can't fight him." Zhou Yu explained patiently.

"But it's not like we haven't tried to defeat enemies with more troops than us. I believe that our Jiangdong Army's combat power is no worse than theirs!" Zhou Tai said firmly, he has absolute confidence in Jiangdong Army.The other generals also nodded upon hearing this.

"I understand what you said, but Li Yuan's army is no worse than ours. I believe you have already realized that the biggest gap between us and them is not combat power but military strength. Li Yuan's soldiers are dead, and he can still fight from Xuzhou and Yuzhou and other places continue to increase troops to support him. His power spans Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and now even Jingzhou has fallen into his hands. But we are different. Now we only have two counties, Wujun and Kuaiji. He can afford it and we can’t afford it. , so we can only endure temporarily, and we cannot send troops out of impulse."

Zhou Yu was also helpless, he hated Li Yuan as much as everyone else, but he couldn't let the soldiers die because of his personal impulse.

"Okay, You Ping, what Gong Jin said is reasonable, so don't be persistent. Now we can only rely on the defense of the city, and we cannot go out of the city to fight Li Yuan. There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future, so you don't need to be impulsive." Sun Ce also agreed with Zhou Yuzhi meaning.

"It's the lord." Zhou Tai was a little dejected, and returned to his position.

Sun Ce thought of another matter and asked, "Gong Jin, I heard that the common people already knew about Jingnan's destruction, and many people wanted to open the city and surrender. What's going on?"

"This is also Li Yuan's strategy." Zhou Yu told everyone that Li Yuan shot into the city with an arrow.Everyone was amazed after hearing the words. No wonder the people today are a little uneasy. Many people gathered together to discuss, and even some bold people even ran to open the city gate secretly. Fortunately, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city. Otherwise, it will definitely lead to disaster.

"Li Yuan's tricks followed by tricks really caught me off guard." Sun Ce felt that things were getting more and more difficult.

"Don't worry, my lord. Don't forget our strategy. As long as we can procrastinate, we will definitely win." Zhou Yu comforted.

Li Yuan asked Xu Zhu to give gifts to Jiangdong's generals, and the people in Wujun already knew that Jiangdong was facing a very serious situation. Even Wujun was likely to be defeated, causing everyone to feel in danger.

The next day, Li Yuan began to command the army to attack the city. Yu Jin drove the two building ships docked in Chaisang to Moling, and transported the crash carts there, and then asked the soldiers to transport the crash carts to Wujun for Li Yuan to use.

In fact, thunder chariots are more suitable for attacking the city, but the thunder chariots and stone bullets are very heavy, and it is not convenient to transport them even with a building boat, so Li Yuan decided to abandon the thunder chariots and only use ramming chariots to attack the city.

Li Yuan used the method of besieging three ques and one to attack Wu County, Huang Zhong led 9000 people to attack the east gate, Ji Ling led 9000 people to attack the west gate, Li Yuan led 1000 people to attack the north gate, and the remaining south gate was left for Sun Ce to escape. .

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." the horn of siege has already sounded, and Li Yuan commanded the soldiers to attack. As the commander of the first army, he no longer charged forward as before.

"Kill!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Countless soldiers swarmed up and rushed towards the city gate.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had already been preparing for battle, and when they learned that Li Yuan had attacked the city, they immediately mobilized their troops to defend. Sun Jing took 5000 soldiers to attack Li Yuan's grain team, so there were only [-] troops available in the city at this time. , Zhou Yu divided his troops into three teams, each with [-] people. He and Sun Ce guarded the north gate, Zhou Tai and Chen Wu guarded the east gate, Ling Cao and Dong Xi guarded the west gate. As long as they defend properly, it is not so easy for Li Yuan to break through Wu County .

"Archers get ready, shoot!" Zhou Yu saw the timing and asked the archers to shoot.A thousand archers on the city fired their arrows at the same time, and countless arrows rained down the city.

"The queue is scattered, don't run together, soldiers with shields use shields to cover!" Li Yuan ordered immediately when he saw the enemy firing bows and arrows.The shield is a good thing, it is very useful in siege, it can block the enemy's arrows, but the shield is a rare material, not every soldier has it.
