The gongs clanged, and the soldiers of the Wu army retreated like a tide.
The city was in front of them, but the soldiers of the Wu army had no intention of continuing to fight. When the soldiers guarding the city saw the Wu army retreating, they cheered loudly and burst into joyful laughter.
This moment is their day of joy.
Every soldier shouted loudly, and some even cried with joy. Huang Zu looked at Jia Xu with admiration, and his slightly bowed waist lowered even more. If he came to defend Jiangxia City, he would definitely use boiling oil.
It might not be possible to defend with wood, stones, etc. He couldn't think of using lime and dung juice to resist.
These two items are really poisonous.
Huang Zu said: "Commander, the Wu army has retreated. You can go back and rest first."
Jia Xu looked at Huang Zu with a smile, and those deep pupils made Huang Zu feel uneasy. Even if he didn't have any thoughts, he always had a deep fear of Jia Xu.
This came from Huang Zu's inner thoughts, and he was so frightened by Jia Xu.
Jia Xuxiao said: "I'll leave it to Huang Taishou to handle this. When your lord leads his army south, I will personally plead for Huang Taishou's merit in front of your lord."
When Huang Zu heard this, he smiled with joy and was even more happy in his heart.
His slightly bowed body went downwards, almost half-bowing.
Jia Xu glanced at Huang Zu, then turned and left. At this time, Jia Xu was completely sure that Huang Zu had surrendered to Wang Can, and concluded that Cheng Pu would not betray him, so he left with peace of mind. After Jia Xu left, Huang Zu
He straightened his back again and shouted: "Guard it for me, cheer up, cheer up."
He was like a proud rooster, holding his head high and looking very proud.
…
Outside the city, the Wu army camp.
In the camp, Sun Jian's face was ashen and his expression was serious.
Below, civil servants and military generals are arranged on the left and right sides.
Sun Jian said in a deep voice: "Huang Zu, with the help of Jia Xu, guarded Jiangxia and made Jiangxia as stable as ever. Our army attacked Jiangxia forcefully, but it was difficult to conquer it. What do you think?"
He looked around and found that Zhuge Jin was missing.
Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said: "My lord, now we have Jia Xu guarding Jiangxia inside, and Gan Ning outside to contain the navy. Although our army's food and grass can be sent through the navy, it is still restricted by Gan Ning. Jiangxia has nothing to gain and can only retreat.
Already."
Sun Jian raised his eyebrows, not wanting to retreat.
Cheng Pu said: "Lord, our army still has the strength to fight, how can we retreat? Did Han Dang die in vain?"
When the death of Han Dang was mentioned, Sun Jian felt even more uncomfortable.
Huang Gai cupped his fists and said, "My lord, our army has occupied Jiangxia. With the support of food and grass, we have stabilized the situation. Now we are besieging Jiangxia. Although we have not captured the city of Jiangxia, it poses a threat to Jiangxia. If they can hold it in the short term, they will not be able to hold it in the long term."
There will definitely be a problem with time, so we must ask for reinforcements and invite Wang Can to come, so we will have the opportunity to ambush Wang Can."
Sun Jian's eyes lit up and he said, "You mean to besiege Jiangxia and wait for Wang Can to come?"
Huang Gai cupped his fists and said, "That's exactly it!"
Lu Su frowned and said: "My lord, General Han's revenge must be avenged, but the soldiers in the army have suffered repeated setbacks and have been greatly affected. Furthermore, today Jia Xu used lime and dung juice to attack, and many soldiers' eyes were
He was injured, and the skin on his body was burned by fecal juice, so it might be difficult to deal with it!"
Today's battle left a deep impact on the hearts of the soldiers in the army.
Lu Su experienced this battle personally and was a little worried that the situation was out of control.
Sun Jian shouted: "Injured soldiers are treated by military doctors. Although many soldiers are injured, our army still has at least 50,000 to 60,000 troops to fight again. What should we fear?"
Lu Su continued to persuade: "Lord, if the troops are exhausted too much, what will Jiangdong do?"
Lu Su was not only considering the current battle situation, but also the future of Jiangdong.
Sun Jian snorted, waved his hand and said: "Zijing, all the men in Jiangdong are capable of conquering and fighting, and they can fight with weapons. I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
"ah!!"
Cheng Pu frowned and roared in a low voice.
He gritted his teeth, his face turned pale, and large beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
Sun Jian walked to Cheng Pu and asked, "De Mou, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "It's okay, my lord, don't worry."
Sun Jian looked at Cheng Pu carefully, from his face, and then gradually downwards. Finally, he found that the back of Cheng Pu's left hand had become red and swollen, and the back of his hand was covered with blisters, mixed with stains of fecal juice, all of which were
He was scalded by fecal juice. Cheng Pu endured the pain, stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "My lord, I have to retire."
After finishing speaking, Sun Jian stood up and left directly.
When Huang Gai saw this, he immediately chased after him.
Sun Jian did not chase him out immediately, but waved his hand and said: "Our army still has the strength to fight again, we cannot retreat, and Wang Can also wants to lead the army south, so we will take the opportunity to compete with Wang Can again. You all go to rest and have a good rest."
, and to appease the soldiers, stabilize their morale, and prepare to fight Wang Can again."
"promise!"
Everyone clasped their fists in response, then turned and left.
After everyone left, Sun Jian also left the camp and headed towards Cheng Pu's camp.
As soon as he walked outside Cheng Pu's camp, he heard Huang Gai's exclamation and said: "De Mou, the injury on your back is so serious, why are you still holding on after returning to the camp? Isn't this asking for trouble? Now
The condition of my back is so bad that even doctors may have trouble treating it."
Sun Jian heard this and hurriedly walked in.
Cheng Pu took off his armor and clothes, leaving his upper body naked. The back of his neck was covered with dirty excrement, and it was already bloody. Some of the poured excrement came directly from his neck.
They poured it in and burned Cheng Pu's back until it was red, swollen and blistered. Because Cheng Pu was wearing armor and constantly rubbing against it, his back was worn away and his flesh and blood were eroded, which was very scary.
Sun Jian said: "Demo, you are so seriously injured, why are you still holding on?"
Sun Jian was worried and asked again: "Have you called the doctor?"
Huang Gai nodded and said: "My lord, I have called the doctor and will return soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a military medical officer hurried in. After he finished diagnosing and treating Cheng Pu, he exclaimed: "General Cheng, it's amazing that you can persist until now."
As the doctor spoke, he carefully cleaned Cheng Pu's wound, applied medicine, and persuaded in a deep voice: "General, you can't move your muscles and bones during this period, and the skin on your back has been scalded by the fecal juice, and the wound is eroded.
Clean and apply the medicine every day, otherwise it will be difficult to diagnose and treat once it worsens."
Cheng Pu nodded in agreement, his expression painful.
His body was stiff and it was difficult to move. After the doctor completed the diagnosis and treatment of Cheng Pu, Sun Jian comforted Cheng Pu again before leaving.
…
On the Yangtze River, a small boat docked quietly.
On the bow of the boat, a burly man stood tall. Beside him were four or five shirtless men, all standing on the boat, as if waiting for something.
This burly man was none other than Gan Ning.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the calm water surface was broken.
A water-stained head suddenly popped out of the water, and then another head popped up one after another, totaling eight people. These eight people quickly turned over on the boat and shook off the water stains on their bodies.
Then he stood respectfully behind Gan Ning, with an excited look on his face, looking very excited.
