Looking at Shuzi in front of him, Shi Bao continued to persuade him earnestly:
"Lu Xun used a tactic of suspicion!
His purpose was to make the soldiers and generals in the city feel fearful in their hearts.
For those who fight, military spirit comes first.
If Jie Fanbing's military morale wavers, then no matter how strong the defense of Yong'an City is, our army will not be able to defend Yong'an City no matter what.
The general's top priority is to summon the generals in the city and use his prestige to appease their hearts and minds."
"As long as people's hearts are as stone, no matter how many Wu troops Lu Xun mobilizes, they will not be able to easily shake Yong'an City."
Shi Bao believed that Lu Xun would bring many Wu troops this time.
And Shi Bao also knew why Lu Xun didn't order the army to attack Yong'an directly from the beginning, or quietly send surprise troops to attack Yong'an.
The underlying truth is not difficult to deduce.
Let's just say that we sent a surprise attack on Yong'an. At first glance, such an action seems to have a high possibility of success, but in fact, the risk of failure is very high.
After all, relying on a surprise attack, the Wu army captured Yong'an Ferry but did not prevent deserters from escaping back to Yong'an City to report the news to Han Zong.
When Han Zong first heard the news, he might have felt panicked at first, but subconsciously, his first reaction was most likely to close the city and resist.
Yong'an City's defenses are strong. If Han Zong holds on behind closed doors and wants to capture Yong'an directly with a small force without the support of siege equipment, there will be too much uncertainty.
And if the action of that surprise force fails, it will undoubtedly dampen the morale of our own side.
Lu Xun felt that there was no need to take such a risk.
Anyway, Lu Xun had already deduced that Han Zong would be in a state of panic after learning of his arrival, so why didn't he continue to make arrangements based on this?
Before the army officially attacks Yong'an City, it is the best choice to use the tactic of doubting the enemy's strength to further increase the panic in the hearts of the Jiefan soldiers and turn this emotion into panic.
If Lu Xun led his army to attack Yong'an City as soon as the Wu army landed, Shi Bao wouldn't be too worried.
Because even though the Jiefan soldiers would be panicked at that time, when they saw the enemy coming, they would still subconsciously resist.
And as long as the Jiefan soldiers are willing to resist, then relying on the city defense of Yong'an City, the Wu army's attack will definitely suffer.
In this way, Jie Fanbing's heart will become calm invisibly.
But the important thing is that Lu Xun didn't do this, he was waiting.
When Jie Fanbing was under the influence of the Suspicion Soldier's plan, he kept thinking wildly. When Jie Fanbing saw that everything was covered with soldiers, he created a strong sense of depression in his heart that a storm was about to come.
Sometimes the dangers you imagine are often the most terrifying.
This sense of depression will further destabilize the morale of Jie Fanbing.
When Jie Fanbing's inner panic reached its peak due to his own random thoughts, a large number of Wu troops officially launched an attack on Yong'an. At that time, how much combat effectiveness did Jie Fanbing still have in the city?
The lack of military morale may result in the Jiefan soldiers being unable to even pick up weapons, let alone resist the Wu army's siege.
After understanding Lu Xun's intentions, even Shi Bao, who was an enemy, couldn't help but secretly admire Lu Xun's wisdom in his heart.
He actually saw a bit of Grand Sima's demeanor in Lu Xun.
As for whether Shi Bao thinks his worries are unnecessary...
Glancing at the Jiefang soldiers on the city wall, Shi Bao saw that the frightened expressions on many of their faces were getting thicker and thicker, and the hands holding weapons were also trembling. He knew that they were
The worries are by no means unnecessary.
Don’t forget, Yongan is currently an isolated city!
Living in an isolated city, people are prone to fear and uneasiness.
But what worries Shi Bao the most is not only Jie Fanbing's timid performance, but also Han Zong beside him.
Shi Bao knew very well that Lu Xun's trick of doubting soldiers could affect the morale of the army to a great extent, but as long as Han Zong, as the commander-in-chief, could stand up and appease people's hearts, Lu Xun's trick of doubting soldiers would be difficult to work.
But given Han Zong's current state, he had no intention of appeasing the military's morale.
Faced with Shi Bao's sincere advice, Han Zong remained indifferent.
He was waiting for the report from the scouts.
Not long after, Han Zong finally arrived.
When the scouts sent out came to Han Zong, his reply made Han Zong lose the last trace of delusion in his heart.
"A few miles away, tens of thousands of Wu troops are surrounding on three sides and coming towards Yong'an!"
Tens of thousands of Wu troops?
When Han Zong heard the news, his face turned pale instantly.
He glanced at the "Wu Army" scattered across the mountains and plains in the distance, and kept muttering absentmindedly:
"That's not fake! That's not fake!"
Originally, the Jiefan soldiers were on the verge of panic, but they saw Han Zong's helpless state, which made them even more at a loss what to do.
So at the next moment, a nest exploded on the Yong'an city wall.
"General, what should we do next?"
"General, why don't we escape?"
"General, the enemy is strong, we must not fight!"
...
Among the generals in the Jiefan army, some were as panicked as Han Zong, and some persuaded Han Zong to recognize the reality and run away.
After a brief period of noise, the remarks that caused Han Zong to run away finally took over the mainstream.
Didn’t the scout just say that?
Lu Xun was surrounded by three people but one was missing, leaving a small area for them to escape.
In this case, why are you still hesitating?
Listening to those remarks that made him run away, Han Zong was obviously moved.
He turned to Mi Yang because he was afraid of death, but now that Lu Xun was willing to give him a way out, there was no need for him to be ignorant of good and evil.
But just when Han Zong was about to adopt the generals' suggestions, a cold voice reached Han Zong's ears at the right time.
"If the general really follows the advice of others and chooses to abandon the city and flee, then the general's death will not be far away."
This sound sounded so harsh in Han Zong's ears. As we all know, he was most afraid of death.
And this sound also caused many Jiefan soldiers and generals to look at Shi Bao angrily.
This is exactly what Shi Bao said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, even Han Zong's eyes when he looked at Shi Bao became unkind.
Shi Bao represents Mi Yang, but if he no longer chooses to be loyal to Mi Yang, then what respect can he have for Shi Bao?
Shi Bao, who was surrounded by many unkind eyes, did not feel panic.
He just continued: "Since the day when the general raised the city in uprising, the general has probably been on Sun Quan's must-kill list.
Does the general think that Lu Xun would choose to let the general live regardless of Sun Quan's face and anger?
Stop dreaming!"
In the first two sentences, Shi Bao's voice sounded quite gentle, but in the last sentence, Shi Bao almost shouted angrily.
He was really fed up with Han Zong's stupidity.
"Surrounded by three and missing one? The side that is not surrounded is your only way to survive?
I can tell you, quite the opposite!
The road that is not surrounded is covered with mountains and forests, which is suitable for ambushing a large number of enemy troops.
Once you escape through that road with illusions, you will die under the sword of Wu Jun."
Shi Bao's roar made the surrounding Jiefanbing generals feel clear for a moment.
But Shi Bao couldn't make the Jie Fanbing generals change their minds just by saying these words.
Because compared to Shi Bao's speculative words, it is an indisputable fact that tens of thousands of Wu troops are slowly surrounding them.
Of course Shi Bao also knew that his words could only temporarily dissuade the generals from escaping.
Then he said something bolder.
"Even if you can escape Yong'an City in the end, does this mean you are safe?
Have you forgotten why I came?"
When he said this, Shi Bao focused his eyes on Han Zong's face.
At this moment, Shi Bao's eyes were full of aggression.
"Da Sima entrusted his faith into your hands, but you chose to betray him and betray him.
Do you think hundreds of thousands of Han troops will bypass you?
Da Sima always hated people who abandoned him the most.
Of course, you may think that as long as you can escape from Yong'an City, you will have a bright future.
But there are only two paths you can choose, one is to escape north, and the other is to be kidnapped.
But do you think Cao Wei would dare to tolerate you at such a huge risk of offending Grand Sima and Sun Quan?
Or do you think that after you become a bandit, Grand Sima will forget about you and will not send troops to conquer you?
General Han, since the day I came to Yong'an, I have put life and death out of my mind.
But I hope you also understand that from the moment you accept me, your life and death are closely related to me.
If I die, no matter how big the world is, there will probably be no place for you!"
After Shi Bao finished speaking, anger appeared on the faces of Han Zong and other Jiefan soldiers.
This is a threat, a naked threat!
But before they could refute, they saw Shi Bao standing by the city wall.
"This city is several feet high. If you jump down, you will definitely die.
Since you are seeking your own death, why not take the first step to prevent your blood from polluting my eyes."
After seeing Shi Bao's death-seeking gesture, the anger on the faces of Han Zong and the many Jiefan soldiers and generals immediately disappeared, leaving only looks of panic.
"Master Shi, why is this happening? Why is it happening like this!"
Han Zong looked anxious and wanted to step forward to rescue Shi Bao.
Is Han Zong afraid of Shi Bao's death?
That's naturally scary.
Because Han Zong could choose to give up the city, but he could not give up his life of glory and wealth.
This also leads to the fact that Han Zong cannot give up his part.
And as long as there are a large number of people following him around every day, and coupled with his own character that cannot stand poverty, it is not difficult for Mi Yang to find his traces.
As a result, Han Zong could not bear the consequences of Shi Bao's death.
From the beginning to the end, Han Zong never thought about letting Shi Bao die.
When he was planning a breakout just now, he had thought of taking Shi Bao with him to protect him.
Han Zong felt scared because he knew that what Shi Bao said would probably come true.
If you want to die, don't die here!
But just when Han Zong wanted to step forward and pull Shi Bao down, Shi Bao said to Han Zong, who was approaching step by step:
"If my blood spills on Yong'an today, Han Zong will be the one who kills me!
If anyone can avenge me, Da Sima will definitely reward him greatly!"
As soon as Shi Bao said these words, Han Zong was so frightened that he almost knelt down before Shi Bao.
Alienation, this is naked alienation.
But this is also Shi Bao's conspiracy.
For Jie Fanbing, it was impossible for them to risk their lives and choose to return to Sun Wu.
But if they return to Jiang Miyang, I'm afraid they will be very willing.
And just as Shi Bao said, if he forced Shi Bao to death, then he would undoubtedly be equivalent to killing Mi Yang's relatives.
If someone could avenge Mi Yang for killing his relatives, I'm afraid Mi Yang would be willing to give him the title of Marquis.
How tempting is this?
Maybe now with my prestige in Jiefanbing, no one will be affected.
But what happens when the day comes when they are in a state of embarrassment?
Han Zong didn't dare to think about it any more.
He didn't dare to move forward anymore.
Now, he only has a glimmer of hope if he chooses to trust Shi Bao's judgment.
"Zhong Rong, don't get excited, I won't retreat."
After saying this, Han Zong turned to look at the generals behind him with a cold face:
"Send the order and ask all the sons to come up and defend the city."
Han Zong's order meant that he had given up the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing.
Facing Han Zong's order, many generals wanted to continue to persuade them, but they glanced at the stone bracts beside the city wall and silently shut their mouths.
The existence of stone bracts is sometimes their talisman, but sometimes it is also their shackles.
...
About an hour later, tens of thousands of Wu troops divided into three groups, forming a huge human wall, gradually approaching Yong'an City in sight.
The outline of Yong'an City became increasingly clear in their eyes, making all Wu generals feel excited unconsciously.
Although some Wu generals were surprised to see it, Yong'an City's defenses were actually intact.
But this surprise was quickly overshadowed by the excitement in their hearts.
Veteran general Lu Dai stood beside Yu Fan and sighed:
"General, it's a good plan.
If everything goes well, our army may be able to recapture Yong'an without any bloodshed."
Lu Dai had been in the army for decades, and had served under three famous generals: Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng. He could easily see the uniqueness of Lu Xun's strategy at a glance.
It can be said that Lu Xun's strategy is extremely destructive to a person like Han Zong who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
After hearing Lu Dai's words, Yu Fan showed a relaxed look on his face.
Although he has not been in the army for a long time, he has heard many cases of defenders fleeing without a fight because their military morale collapsed.
So he asked Lu Dai:
"How close does Lu Gong think Han Zong can hold out until our army is close to the city?"
Yu Fan's question made Lu Dai think deeply.
But then he quickly gave an answer:
"About three hundred steps."
Three hundred steps?
The range of crossbows in the world is generally a hundred steps. Even if the Jiefan soldiers have the advantage of being in a commanding position, their range is only about two hundred steps at most.
Does Lu Dai mean that Han Zong will be frightened and run away before they even get within shooting range?
Lu Dai's conclusion sounded like he looked down on Han Zong too much.
But when he thought about Han Zong's character, Yu Fan believed in Lu Dai's judgment.
There is no rescue outside and the soldiers are depressed. This is an unfavorable situation. Only those with great courage cannot persevere.
Do you really think that everyone in the world is Mi Yang?
Yu Fan, who felt more and more relaxed in his heart, continued to ask Lu Dai: "Does Lu Gong think there is any way to prevent Han Zong from abandoning the city and escaping?"
Yu Fan, who seemed to be popping champagne at halftime, actually wanted to use the attitude of a winner to review the normal battle in advance and draw some valuable lessons.
Yu Fan's question was too easy for Lu Dai to answer.
"The only thing that can defeat fear is greater fear."
Lu Dai's answer made Yu Fan thoughtful.
Exciting time always passes quickly.
When tens of thousands of Wu troops were about to enter within 300 steps of Yong'an City, many experienced generals like Lu Dai opened their eyes as wide as possible.
They are looking forward to seeing the changes in the city.
But unfortunately it doesn't.
They only saw a dazzling white dress standing on top of the city.
Why is white clothing dazzling?
That's because during the Public Security War, Mi Yang's favorite thing to wear besides wearing Mingguang armor was white clothes.
Seeing that his inference did not come true, Lu Dai calmed down.
It seems that Han Zong still has some courage.
However, a country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change, so the problem is not big.
But as tens of thousands of Wu troops continued to advance and entered within two hundred steps of Yong'an City, many Wu generals realized something was wrong.
Because at this time, the Jiefan soldiers in Yongan City remained motionless!
Why does this scene seem familiar?
