In addition to Zhou Yu, Dong Xi, Zhu Zhi, and Taishi Ci were all present in the Jiangdong military camp.

Zhou Yu's face was very ugly, with a kind of sickly paleness. He looked at everyone and said:"The enemy young general just fought with Taishi Ci in a deadlock. Now Zhuge Liang can't hold on, we can't wait any longer. Come on."

When everyone heard Zhou Yu's words, they knew that they were going to attack the city with manpower.

Zhu Zhi said with some worry:"Zhuge Liang must have explosive weapons in his hands. Although we have warned the soldiers, I am afraid that it will still cause panic among the soldiers."

Zhu Zhi's words are not without reason. Just like everyone knows that tigers can eat people, but it is one thing to say it, but it is another thing to actually meet them.

"Could it be that just because the enemy has such a weapon in their hands, we will not attack the city?"Zhou Yu's pale face showed a hint of anger, and then he coughed violently. At this time, Dong Xi said loudly:"Captain, please let my army attack the city!"

Since Dong Xi's navy was defeated, Zhou Yu learned that Liu Jue's navy had that kind of strange warship that could easily invade the hinterland of Jiangdong. He knew that now the navy had no advantage.

So Zhou Yu asked Dong Xi called the army over and concentrated its efforts on attacking Chaisang City.

"Okay, I'll let you supervise the siege."

Zhou Yu glanced at Dong Xi and immediately agreed. This was also because the navy led by Dong Xi had seen weapons that made loud noises and flames, and they were somewhat prepared in their hearts.

Zhou Yu is a very decisive person. People rarely change things once they decide. As soon as noon passed, Jiangdong's army launched an attack on Chaisang City.

As Zhou Yu had expected, Zhuge Liang did use Dong when he was defending the city. But when Zhou Yu saw it with his own eyes, he was even more shocked. At this time, he finally understood why Dong Xi's army was defeated.

"Liu Jue actually had such a terrifying weapon in his hands. Where did he get it from?"Zhou Yu clenched his fists tightly and looked at Chaisang City where they were fighting from a distance.

Dong Xi's soldiers were attacked by thunder bullets because they had seen thunder bullets before and Dong Xi was supervising the formation. In the end, although there was a brief panic, it finally stabilized.

On the other hand, those Jiangdong soldiers who saw thunder bullets for the first time had almost all eyes wide open with fear, and some even turned around and ran away immediately.

Zhou Yu was very decisive, and anyone who dared to retreat would be killed without mercy!

The first siege battle obviously ended in failure, but Zhou Yu was delighted to find that the eyes of his soldiers were no longer as scared as they were at the beginning. Indeed. , as long as you are familiar with thunder bullets and know how to avoid them from a distance before they fall, its power is not as terrible as imagined.

Zhou Yu saw that his morale was available, and he felt a little more confident. A second siege was quickly organized.

However, Chaisang City was too strong and tall. As the western barrier to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu had been operating here for several years. This Chaisang City was indestructible.

After Liu Jue occupied it, he carried out After some reinforcements, and Zhou Yu did not have a numerical advantage, it was extremely easy for Zhuge Liang and others to defend the city.

Siege battles have always been protracted. For example, Cao Cao besieged Lu Bu in Xia Pi. It took several months.

There were more than 10,000 troops in Chaisang City, and Peng Ze's Gan Ning responded from a distance. It was basically impossible for Zhou Yu to break through Chaisang for a period of time.

So Zhou Yu could only hope that Lu Xun would be there. Jingnan can break through Liu Jue as soon as possible, and then lead his troops north as soon as possible to besiege Chaisang City with him.

Zhou Yu believes that as soon as the Jingnan coalition forces led by Lu Xun arrive, the morale of the Chaisang City defenders will be defeated, and they will be able to defeat Chaisang City very quickly. Easily defeated Chaisang.

But Zhou Yu didn’t know yet that Lu Xun, for whom he had high hopes, had surrendered to Liu Jue, and the news would come soon.

A few days later, Zhuge Liang held a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, his face With a thick smile on his face, he said to Huang Zhong:"Major General defeated 80,000 rebels in Linxiang and captured Jin Xuan, Zhao Fan and others. The crisis in Jingnan has been resolved, and Wenpin also led a group of An army of 5,000 people is heading straight for Chaisang, and will arrive in a few days. Huang

Zhong was overjoyed and said:"This is the best thing. If Wenpin comes by surprise, Zhou Yu will definitely be defeated!" Zhuge Liang looked at the map, pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile:"First pass on my order. Write the news that the rebellion in Jingnan has been put down and that Wenpin is coming. Write it on a white cloth and shoot it with arrows." Jiangdong Military Camp."

Huang Zhong said in surprise:"Military advisor, if Zhou Yu knows this news, he will definitely be on guard, and the effect of surprise will not be achieved. Zhuge

Liang shook his head, smiled, and said,"I just want Zhou Yu to know that when the news spreads, the morale of Jiangdong's army will definitely be greatly affected.""

"The most important thing is that after Zhou Yu knows the news, he will definitely send someone to find out the truth. When Wenpin really comes, he will definitely withdraw to Nanchang immediately and guard against our pursuit.

Huang Zhong understood and said,"The military advisor wants to ambush Zhou Yu.""

Zhuge Liang nodded and said:"Yes, when the time comes, Zhou Yu will focus on guarding against us and Wenpin, and he will definitely not think that we will ambush him in advance. Huang

Zhong also looked at the map, pointed to a blank space on the ground, and said,"If we want to ambush Zhou Yu, this place is the most suitable. This is the place where Zhou Yu must pass when he retreats. The surrounding mountains are high and densely forested, making it the most suitable place to hide."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said:"Yes, this is the place I was thinking of!" Huang

Zhong's eyes grew brighter as he thought about it, and he praised:"When Zhou Yu falls into our ambush, we might be able to plot Nanchang."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said:"I just want Zhou Yu to steal the chicken but lose the rice!""

……

Jiangdong army camp.

After several days of siege fighting, although there was no progress at all, Zhou Yu was still very satisfied. At least the soldiers were no longer as afraid of the weapons in the hands of the enemy as they were at the beginning.

"Is there any news from Jingnan? What's Lu Xun's situation now? Has he not captured Liu Jue yet? Zhou Yu said coughing

"Not yet, but with the governors of the three counties in Jingnan responding to us, and with the 50,000 Wuxi barbarians, Liu Jue probably won't be able to defend Linxiang City."Zhu Zhi said hesitantly.

Tai Shici said:"Captain, don't worry, it will take several days for the news to reach us from Jingnan, even by waterway. Zhou

Yu took a deep breath and said,"First, order people to build more siege ladders. At least before Lu Xun arrives, we must achieve certain results."

Zhu Zhi responded loudly:"Here!""

At this moment, the guard outside the camp suddenly broke in, holding a piece of white cloth in his hand, and said to Zhou Yu:"Report to the Governor, the enemy in Chaisang shot hundreds of arrows at our army, all tied with arrows. wearing a white cloth"

"White cloth? Zhou Yu frowned and said,"Send it up!""

"Here!"The guard responded and presented the white cloth to Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu opened it, his eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't believe it, and then he coughed violently.

"Lu Xun, you actually failed! Even if the 80,000-strong army could not capture Linxiang, they should not have been defeated like this!"Zhou Yu clutched the white cloth tightly and let out a roar.
