Chapter 95 You are about to die (Fourth update, please follow up! Don’t raise it!)
In fact, under the first round of arrows, many of the Jiangdong soldiers who were the vanguard of the army were not hit by the rockets.
But as long as one of the ten men is hit by a rocket, the crocodile next to the ten-man team will instantly become a safe haven for the soldier.
And when the Jiangdong soldiers who were anxious to hide in the anthronium to extinguish the fire brought the flames into the anthronium, which was completely made of wood and had no rawhide protection, the anthronium soon began to burn from the inside.
At this time, before the other soldiers had time to react, the second round of rockets from the city wall had arrived.
When more Jiangdong soldiers were invaded by the flames, their hearts were as panicked as the previous Jiangdong soldiers, and they fled one after another into the anemone that had not yet caught fire.
As a result, as the screams of many Jiangdong soldiers being burned by the fierce fire rang out in front of the two armies, many anemone vehicles were gradually swallowed up by the fire.
Mi Yang knows that when developing economic production, manpower is the most precious resource.
And when there is a war, human life is the least valuable thing.
So his purpose from the beginning was not to kill people.
Jiangdong has an army of 100,000 people. Even though his soldiers are all good at shooting, they can hit every five arrows.
If you want to kill all the 100,000 Jiangdong troops, you will need 500,000 arrows.
But without the assistance of siege equipment, no matter how large the Jiangdong army was, it would not be so easy to take down the Gong'an City, which was protected by a wide moat and solid walls.
What Mi Yang is really worried about is that the combination of Jiangdong's 100,000 troops and those advanced siege equipment is a fatal threat to the Public Security City.
Compared with the cheapness of human lives in war, it is not easy to build siege equipment. It often takes several months to build a large number of siege equipment.
As long as all the siege equipment is destroyed, even if Lü Meng has an army of 100,000, he will still have to stare at the city.
What Mi Yang had to do was to drag Lu Meng's 100,000-strong army outside the Gong'an City, making it impossible for them to attack Jingnan.
Drag it to Yizhou, or Guan Yu's reinforcements arrive.
It even dragged on until the end, dragging down Jiangdong's national power.
Mi Yang had plenty of time, but Lu Meng did not.
Time is the magic weapon for Mi Yang to defeat Lu Meng.
And when Lu Meng, who was in the chariot, saw that the hundreds of anemone he had sent up first were already turning into ashes under the command of Mi Yang, Lu Meng's big hands struck heavily on the lookout.
On the edge of the stage.
Lu Meng saw what Mi Yang's intentions were.
Mi Yang wanted to be Lian Po and fight him in a protracted battle of Changping.
At this time, Sun Jiao, who was standing behind Lu Meng and was the commander of the rear of the Jiangdong army, heard the screams of the hundreds of soldiers below being burned by the fire. He said to Lu Meng,
"Grand Governor, seeing what the thieves did, he had already taken precautions."
"Why don't our army stop attacking for the time being and surround the police for a while to cut off the vigor of the thieves?
And our army can use this time to wait for the arrival of more siege equipment.
It will be safer to start the siege at that time."
Sun Jiao gave this advice not because he cherished his soldiers, but because he saw that Mi Yang commanded well and took precautions in an orderly manner.
Sun Jiao was worried that the morale of his own army would be disturbed under his repeated unfavorable attacks.
If our own morale drops sharply, it will be very detrimental to Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army.
But after Lu Meng listened to Sun Jiao's advice, he said, "Otherwise, our army will never retreat at this time."
Hearing Lu Meng's decisive tone, Sun Jiao thought that Lu Meng said this out of anger.
After all, our side's carefully prepared first round of attack ended up being almost annihilated without even dismantling a barricade outside the moat.
It doesn't matter if a person dies, but the most important thing is that he has lost so much anthracite.
Anthracene is not easy to make, and even Sun Jiao felt distressed.
For the sake of the overall situation, Sun Jiao continued to advise Lu Meng:
"Grand Governor, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: If a general cannot overcome its anger and the ants attack it, if a third of the soldiers are killed but the city cannot be taken out, this attack will cause disaster."
"Sieging a city is inherently a protracted matter."
"Back then, the Governor of Zhou besieged Jiangling and it took a long time to capture it. Why should the Governor be in such a hurry now?"
Among the three governors since Sun Quan came to power, Zhou Yu and Lu Su were both from the Huaisi family. They had gentle personalities, handled interpersonal relationships well, and were respected by everyone.
Compared with Lu Meng, Zhou Yu and Lu Su, let’s not talk about ability for the moment.
But in terms of origin and character, Lu Meng was not liked by others.
Therefore, as a member of the clan, Sun Jiao did not respect Lu Meng in the past.
Now he is willing to obey Lu Meng's orders, but he is only afraid of Sun Quan's orders.
Because he didn't have much respect, when Sun Jiao, who was also of high status, had his own ideas, he would naturally insist on his own opinions.
When he heard that Sun Jiao actually compared today's battle of public security with the battle of Jiangling in the past, Lu Meng couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.
The main reason why Zhou Yu was able to besiege Jiangling for a long time was that Sun and Liu allied themselves and Guan Yu led the army to cut off the North Road and blocked Cao Cao's reinforcements from Xiangyang.
The enemy had no foreign aid, so Zhou Yu naturally had time to calmly besiege Jiangling.
But can the situation today be the same as it was then?
A staunch ally has been betrayed by them, and Cao Cao has become an enemy as well as a friend.
There is no time now for Lu Meng to fight a protracted public security battle.
Besides, his own body doesn't allow it.
Lu Meng did not expect that Sun Jiao, who was highly valued by Sun Quan, would be so short-sighted. He could not help but be deeply worried about Jiangdong's future.
But Lu Meng was aloof and arrogant, and he didn't want to explain too much to Sun Jiao.
He put his hand on the sword given to him by Sun Quan and said to Sun Jiao in a cold tone, "Shulang, have you forgotten the king's order?"
Seeing Lu Meng mention the power of life and death given to him by Sun Quan, Sun Jiao's eyes narrowed.
Although there was annoyance on his face at this time, he still didn't say anything else.
Seeing that Sun Jiao no longer had any objections, Lu Meng ordered, "Since a hundred chariots of anthel are not enough, then double the number!"
"Order the shield warriors in the army to cover the civilians and move forward with the guards."
Lu Meng's order was quickly conveyed to the ears of officers at all levels in the Jiangdong army through his personal guards.
After the generals and colonels heard Lu Meng's order, they faithfully carried out the order.
Soon after, just as the hundreds of anthracite in front were about to burn out, the gate of Jiangdong Military Camp opened, and hundreds more anthracite were transported out of it.
And behind those hundreds of anemone vehicles were thousands of strong men in the army holding their shields high.
Behind the thousands of strong men in the army were thousands of anxious civilians with frightened faces.
Mi Yang, who was standing on the city wall, saw this scene and his eyes moved slightly.
Lu Meng, who was in the chariot, was also looking at Mi Yang.
"Mi Zisheng, if you want to delay, I won't let you do it."
"You only have one city, how many rockets can you have?"
"And I have the support of a country in the east of the Yangtze River. If I can attack a city with one country, why be afraid!"
As the war drums of Jiangdong Army beat, the Jiangdong Second Pioneer Team began to move outside the military camp.
Looking at the thousands of people being driven forward, Mi Yang turned his attention to the chao chariot not far away.
