The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 210 A Feast for Crows ([-])
On June 266, 6 AD, Ma Shiji, Zuo Da Sima of Eastern Wu, led an army of 10 to surround Xiling City, and then quickly began to attack.

On the 11th, the Soochow Central Army led by Zuo Yi, Cai Gong, Wu Yan and others went into battle.Attack the west, north, and east gates of Xiling respectively.Then it was a shameful total failure.

On the 12th, Lu Shu, Lu Mu, and Zhou Chu each led their troops to attack.Although the Invincible Army once attacked the east wall and occupied a section of the crenel.But Bu's family adjusted their forces in time, especially after they also took out the reserve team, which was also an invincible army, they were inevitably pushed down the city wall.Wu Nan supervised Zhou Chu, with ten arrows on his back, almost died that night.

On the 13th, Shi Ji, who became angry from embarrassment, led his family's private soldiers to fight in person, but there was still no hope of breaking the city.

On the 14th, the weak water army of the Bu family actually launched a night attack. They sneaked out from the south gate (water gate) of Xiling City, put down countless small sampans covered with dry firewood along the river, and gathered in the east of the lower reaches of Xiling City. Wu Jingzhou's navy was unable to evacuate in time, and lost 30 fighting ships and more than 1000 warships due to burning and collision.Nearly [-] people were killed, burned, or missing.

On the 15th, the north gate tower of Xiling.

This city was built by Lu Xun and reinforced by horses.Now, the outer city of Xiling is ten feet (23 meters) high and more than three feet thick.And the inner city is as high as twelve feet.As Lu Kang said, such a city cannot be captured by force in a short while.

Although all kinds of things are unreliable on weekdays, but when the family lives and dies.Bu Chan Bu Zhongsi was stronger than ever before.Since he set up his banner in Xiling at the end of May, he placed his dormitory on the north gate tower of Xiling.

"Patriarch, the statistics of the battle damage in the past few days have come out. In total, more than [-] people in my family were killed and more than [-] were injured. The consumption of bows, arrows, rolling logs and stones is less than half of the inventory."

"Hmph, Shi Gongxu is nothing more than that. The order is that the dead will receive [-] renminbi each, and those who are injured will receive [-] renminbi. In addition, all those who ascend the city for defense will receive [-] renminbi each!"

"Here!"

"Also, is there any news from the north?"

"Well, Patriarch, now my family is besieged in this city, and the only way to get through the news is from the south gate, but now after going out from the south gate, you have to detour into Jianping County first, and then climb over Daba Mountain to enter Shangyong County of Jin State. It will take too long to communicate this news... Uh, Patriarch, the latest group of envoys from my family left five days ago. Even if everything goes well, this news will be delivered to Jin State Xiangyang, at least 20 days later."

"Oh, that's all. I'm also in a hurry. Huh, this lunatic Guan, I used to ask him so much for the technique of flying pigeons to send messages, and the price was up to [-] million yuan, but this guy just won't give it! You just need to get through it After overcoming this difficulty, I will have to give you Fuxing Society a good look on the business road in the future!"

While Bu Chan was yelling at Guan Yi on the Xiling City Tower, a tactical review was also going on in the Wu Army tent outside the city.

"Hey, I regret not listening to Xiaojie's words, wasting half a month in vain."

"Great Sima, our army was only defeated in the first battle, as long as we keep attacking, Xiling will be defeated!"

"Needless to say, Xiling is indeed not something that can be captured in a short period of time. Now our army has changed its strategy. The generals will obey orders!"

"I'll be waiting for the order from the great Sima!"

"The old man immediately wrote to Jingzhou Shepherd's Mansion, asking them to send 20 civilians to Xiling immediately to start building a wall around Xiling! Zizhan (Lu Shu) is fully responsible for this matter. Construction must start before the [-]th!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

"During our army's construction of the wall, the most worrying thing is that the Jin army will go south at this time. Ji Yang (Lu Mu), please lead your Lu family's private soldiers to the south of Lintao County in Jin State. You only need to monitor the other side. That's good. At least let our army have more than three days to respond."

"Subordinates take orders!"

"Shize (Wuyan), Boguang (Zuoyi), Zishang (Cai Gong), you and the other three, with [-] troops each, stationed outside the three gates of Xiling. out."

"I'll wait for orders!"

"Well, Xiaojie, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?"

"Uh, Da Sima. It is already mid-June, and the local area is about to enter the season of high temperature and rain. Therefore, in terms of construction, there is no need to use rammed earth as a wall. More branches and wattles should be planted, and then directly poured with thin mud. Bless you, if the sun shines in the sky for several days in a row, this wall will be done!"

"Good, is there any more?"

"The navy troops of our army should be bolder and divide half of them directly across the south gate of Xiling to station in the upper reaches of Xiling. Although the rainy season is about to enter, the torrent speed in the Three Gorges will increase sharply. But as long as you are prepared in advance, It should be fine. It should be known that our army has not completely cut off the connection between Xiling City and the outside world. So..."

"Good, since our army has made up its mind to besiege Xiling for a long time. It is necessary to isolate the news inside and outside Xiling. This old man issued an order to order the first and second divisions of the Jingzhou Navy to move forward. Xiaojie , is there any more?"

"Uh, there is another thing. Please work hard, brothers of the Dian School, to intercept and kill the Jin Zoucao personnel as much as possible. If Jin gets the news one day later, our wall can be strengthened by one more day."

"Goodness, you all heard clearly. Youjie's opinion is the old man's opinion. Let's all separate and go to work!"

"Here!"

……

After Shi Ji adjusted his strategy, he quickly drafted a relevant report to Sun Hao who was far away in Jianye.Five days later, the report was quickly delivered to Sun Hao.

"Right Sima, look at Zuo Da Sima's strategy..."

"Your Majesty, Zuo Da Sima made timely adjustments. Although Ding Feng has been stationed in Huainan for a long time, he doesn't know much about the situation in Jingzhou. But Xilingjian City is by no means easy to win."

"Well, Shi Ji, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think there are two things we need to do now. One is His Majesty's order to comfort the soldiers on the front line of Xiling. He also made it clear that Your Majesty is very patient with this counter-insurgency. Let them do it boldly. Don’t be in a hurry. The second thing is, since this anti-insurgency operation has inevitably become long-term, Jianye’s army, money and food support are all necessary.”

"Your Majesty, what Shang Shuling said is very accurate, and the old minister seconded it!"

"Your Majesty, my minister Lu Kai (Wan Yu) seconded the proposal!"

"Hehehe, Shi Ji is indeed a great talent. Hey, everyone, you may not know it? Before I became a great treasure, Shi Ji once asserted that this Lu Youjie will be my Zhou Gongjin in the future! Good, just follow Shi Ji I want to do it. However, this support force...You Da Sima, do you have any good candidates?"

"Your Majesty, I recommend the right general, Zhuge Liang, to lead an army of five thousand to the west for support."

The so-called Zhuge Liang is the youngest son of Zhuge Dan in the Huainan Three Rebels.Back then, Zhuge Dan sent troops to attack Sima Zhao, and in order to gain the support of Soochow, he sent him to Jianye as a hostage.After Zhuge Dan's defeat, the three tribes were wiped out by barbarians.He stayed in Soochow and continued the incense of Zhuge Dan's lineage.

"Well, I remember that the name of the right general is also Zhongsi, right? Shan, it's interesting to let this Zhongsi take down another Zhongsi. So, who will serve as Zhuge Zhongsi's lieutenant general?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister recommended the grandson of Sun Ben, the ex-conquering general, and Sun Zhen, Sun Ziwei, who is now the governor of the tent. This son is only twenty years old, and his martial arts skills are really comparable to that of Zhou Youping (Zhou Tai) in the past. He is just too obsessed with martial arts and bravery. I don’t know how to fight. This time, I will learn from Zhong Si. Maybe he is also a good general of my new generation of Wu. Hey, Lu Youjie’s performance this time made me deeply understand the feeling of the front wave of the Yangtze River. This Xishu The change of generations has almost been completed, and it will be too late if my Great Wu's change of generations does not start. Oh, Your Majesty, the old minister is getting old, and his speech is very broken. Please forgive me..."

"Hehehe, the health of the Right Chief Sima is my great Wu's blessing. There are many places where I have to rely on you. Well, then I will ask Sun Ziwei to be Dingxi Zhonglang General, and let him follow the Right General to Xiling for support. "

"I will obey your orders!"

"Everyone, although I have killed many people and raided many people's homes since I came to the throne, you should all know that these people deserve what they deserve. I am by no means a tyrannical person who kills indiscriminately. Wang Shi, how can we not have a happy ending for this friendship between the monarch and his ministers?"

"Don't dare, we are all willing to swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"
