Chapter 721: Everlasting Peace and Worry-free in Jingzhou

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Just when the generals of Soochow were surprised that their inferences were wrong.

The next moment, something even more surprising happened one after another.

Just after tens of thousands of Wu troops entered the range of two hundred steps, and while the Wu generals were still thinking about whether Han Zong had a headache, arrows suddenly rained down from the city wall.

The dense rain of arrows, given the advantage of being at a commanding height, is extremely lethal.

The tens of thousands of Wu troops who were caught off guard were immediately killed by hundreds of arrows and fell to the ground crying and howling.

This sudden scene shocked the generals of Soochow and changed their expressions.

It is true that as a defender, it is normal to release a rain of arrows to attack the siege.

But this is under the condition that the morale of the troops defending the city is in order.

But is this the case in Yongan City now?

The ferry should be heavily guarded, but Han Zong was careless and did not strengthen defenses at all.

We also learned from the captured Jie Fanbing that Han Zong had been drinking and feasting in the city in recent days, intoxicated and dreamy.

These two points are enough to prove that Han Zong did not expect that they would suddenly invade the territory with large numbers of troops.

Since it was not expected in advance, shouldn't Han Zong be panic-stricken now under the strategy of shaking the morale of the army?

The Soochow generals believed that their ideas were in line with common sense.

After all, there has never been a figure like Zhu Wenzheng in this world.

So where is the problem?

Just when the Soochow generals were thinking about this problem, another round of arrow rain hit Yong'an City, instantly knocking hundreds of Wu troops to the ground.

Only then did the Soochow generals headed by Lu Dai react.

They quickly ordered the soldiers to raise their shields to protect their bodies and temporarily stopped their progress.

After several high-prestige generals from Wu gathered together, they decided to report the matter to Lu Xun in the rear - General, there is a ghost in Yong'an!

...

After tens of thousands of Wu troops stopped in unison, a group of Jiefan soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but cheer.

Especially Han Zong.

His expression, which was originally ashen, suddenly became energetic.

It was difficult for others to understand the ups and downs in his heart just now.

When tens of thousands of Wu troops were 300 steps away from Yong'an City, Han Zong felt that his feet were already a little weak.

And as tens of thousands of Wu troops took a step closer to Yong'an City, the sound of uniform footsteps from far to near was like thunder that kept exploding in Han Zong's ears.

He is really scared!

But what he didn't expect was that after he was "forced" by Shi Bao and ordered the soldiers on the city wall to release a rain of arrows, the tens of thousands of Wu troops really did what Shi Bao said: "If you are cunning and unprepared, you will suffer casualties."

Everyone!"

The most important thing is that the tens of thousands of Wu troops stopped.

At this time, Han Zong could not suppress his excitement. He rushed forward and hugged Shi Bao, and said excitedly:

"The one who saved me today is Zhong Rongye!"

After seeing Han Zong's excited look, Shi Bao also had a smile on his face.

He broke away from Han Zong's embrace and walked down from the city wall.

Now he no longer needs to threaten Han Zong with his own life.

Mi Yang once said to him before: "All those who plot rebellion are paper tigers."

He had just taken action to tear off the skin of the paper tiger in front of Han Zong and others. At least in a short period of time, he no longer had to worry about Han Zong's fear again.

And as long as Han Zong is determined, the morale of thousands of Jiefan soldiers will not be greatly affected.

But Shi Bao still reminded Han Zong emphatically:

"Lu Xun is cunning and may attack at night. I hope the general will be careful."

After hearing Shi Bao's instructions, Han Zong nodded quickly.

Now he can be said to obey Shi Bao's advice.

Although Han Zong has serious character flaws, he has been taught by Han Dang since he was a child. He has his own strategy for how to defend the city next.

"Zhongrong, please rest assured."

After saying this, Han Zong opened his voice and read the names of each general.

Listening to Han Zong arranging the city defense tasks in an orderly manner, Shi Bao breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's really difficult to lead a pig teammate.

...

Lu Xun, who had just entered the camp, soon saw Yu Fan who suddenly turned back.

Seeing the frustration on Yu Fan's face, Lu Xun guessed the result.

But after listening to Yu Fan's report, Lu Xun couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.

"Are you saying that from the beginning to the end, there was no panic in the city?"

Facing Lu Xun's question, Yu Fan nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that Yu Fan was so sure, Lu Xun made a judgment almost instantly:

"The person in charge of Yong'an today is definitely not Han Zong!"

Lu Xun is not a conceited person, but he will not belittle himself either.

All his plans today were based on Han Zong's character weaknesses.

It is impossible for Han Zong not to be affected.

Lu Xun understood this and quickly asked people to bring in the Jie Fan soldiers captured today.

Not long after, Lu Xun learned of Shi Bao's existence from the prisoners of Jie Fanbing.

After knowing this, Lu Xun suddenly realized.

"Stone?"

"That's not surprising."

Unlike other Wu generals who were unfamiliar with this name, Lu Xun knew something about Shi Bao.

Therefore, Lu Xun guessed Mi Yang's intention almost immediately.

"What a great general, thank you for coming up with this trick - even though you are not here in person, it is as if you are here in person."

Lu Xun smiled and praised Mi Yang.

Yu Fan on the side saw that Lu Xun was still laughing at this time, and he couldn't help but said:

"Now that Yongan is well prepared, what should our army do?"

Seeing Yu Fan's anxious look, Lu Xun wasn't worried at all.

"Our army's opponent is Mi Yang. Everything is not as expected, so why should we be disappointed and anxious.

It would be great if we can win Yong'an in one fell swoop today, but if we can't win it for a while, that's okay."

What Lu Xun was most worried about before was that the Han army's reinforcements would enter Yong'an one step ahead of him.

Now this has not happened. There is just an extra stone bud in Yong'an City, which is harmless in Lu Xun's opinion.

As for why Mi Yang did not send reinforcements into Yong'an in time, it was not because Mi Yang didn't want to, but because of objective conditions.

Most of Jingzhou's high-quality warships were destroyed in the Battle of Chibi that year.

There are no warships that can withstand the storm. The weather in the past few days has made the Han army just look at the river and sigh.

And this is precisely Lu Xun’s opportunity!

After thinking about the next step in his mind, Lu Xun immediately said to Yu Fan:

"He ordered the three armies to build a camp outside Yong'an City and completely trapped Han Zong inside Yong'an City.

In addition, I summon Zhu Huan, Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang and other generals to see me."

After hearing Lu Xun's order, Yu Fan quickly turned around and left.

After Yu Fan left, Lu Xun came outside the tent and looked at the sky that was gradually clearing, with a sparkle in his eyes.

The weather in Jiangnan is really changeable.

And the tactics should be like the weather in Jiangnan, changing without any reason.

Surrounding the spot for support?

No, that's too conservative.

Today Mi Yang's main force is in Jingbei, which is a God-given opportunity for Da Wu.

After thinking about it, besides Mi Yang, who else in Jingzhou can I be afraid of?

not at all!
