After hearing the shouts of Zhou Yu's sergeants, the Jinling army on the city wall became uneasy at that time.
How could Shi Xie get involved with Zhou Yu?
Tao Ying's body was shaking a little. He glanced at Lu Dai nervously and whispered, "What should I do?"
Lu Dai obviously did not expect that such a thing would happen. He frowned and said: "I sent scouts to search the surrounding land a few days ago, but no one has come back with news until now. I don't know what happened now."
What exactly happened...it’s really hard to say.”
Guo Tu swallowed his foam gently and said: "Don't worry too much. From my point of view, Zhou Yu is just bluffing. He saw that he couldn't attack our city for a long time, so he resorted to this tactic to confuse his mind.
He wants to attack our city with evil intentions...but we don't have to be afraid of him! Why don't I believe that Zhou Yu can still hook up with Shi Xie?"
After saying this, everyone nodded and praised: "That makes sense, that makes sense!"
Tao Ying, in particular, seemed to have been turned to a life-saving straw.
"Is what Mr. Gongze said true? You must not lie to me! If not, I will have nothing to explain to my elder brother later!"
Guo Tu made no achievements at all in this battle. Seeing others taking credit one by one, Guo Tu felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, I was also a first-rate counselor in Yuan Shao's account back then, and one of the eight great conspirators in Hebei. Now in Nanchang City, how could I be reduced to a third-rate one?
No, I should be very good everywhere, okay?
After finally waiting for this opportunity, Guo Tu naturally would not let it go to express himself, opening his mouth and saying "baba" non-stop.
"Don't worry, gentlemen, with Zhou Yu's skill and courage, there is no way he can seduce Shi Xie who surrendered to Jiaozhou. Shi Xie is not stupid, so how could he join forces with Sun Ce to ask for trouble? This is just Zhou Yu's plan to demoralize our army."
Tao Ying was still a little confused: "Why does Mr. Guo serve as a guarantee?"
Guo Tu raised his head proudly, slapped his chest and said: "I use my head as a guarantee..."
"Report!"
Following a burst of shouting, a scout was seen hurriedly running up the city tower, cupping his hands towards Tao Ying and saying: "Reporting to General Hussar, Jiaozhou's 40,000-strong army is marching north towards our Nanchang city. We are now 100 meters away from the city."
It’s less than thirty miles away! I don’t know what the other army’s intention is.”
When Tao Ying heard this, his face changed and he almost fainted.
Lu Dai stepped forward and said angrily: "Why didn't you report it earlier?"
The scout's face showed a look of shame: "Most of the members of the School Affairs Office were transferred to the north by the Prime Minister. There is a lack of manpower. In addition, Shi Xie's army did not know what means they used to hide their marching route. The county offices in various places did not arrive in time.
Report to superiors..."
"That's enough!" Lu Dai waved his hand angrily, blocking the scout's words.
After finishing speaking, Lu Dai turned to look at Tao Ying and murmured: "Mr. Tao, this matter is really difficult to handle."
Tao Ying raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head: "Jiaozhou's 40,000 troops, truthfully plus Zhou Yu's horses, there are 60,000... With the defense of Nanchang City, there is no way to stop them!"
Having said this, Tao Ying suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Guo Tu.
But they saw Guo Tu hurriedly looking up at the sky, pretending not to see anything.
Lu Dai sighed and said with a bitter smile: "I'm afraid it's a dead end now. We have no good way now. We can only stabilize the morale of the army and hold on to the city... We can hold on to whatever step we take."
Tao Ying's face turned pale, his legs softened, and he seemed to be sitting on the ground.
Lu Dai's words, in a sense, had already sentenced him to death.
Just when Tao Ying's legs were so weak that he was about to sit on the ground, a big hand pushed his waist hard from behind.
Tao Ying was stunned for a moment.
He slowly turned his head and saw Hua'er's fierce face.
"Husband, madam?" Tao Ying said tremblingly.
Hua'er lowered his head and said: "Husband, you are the lord of a city. Remember not to break your spine in front of others and make the three soldiers laugh. Remember, remember!"
Tao Ying stared blankly at his ugly wife.
"Husband, even if we die, we have to die standing... Don't be afraid, your wife will accompany you in everything!"
Tao Ying's eyes suddenly became moist, and he choked with sobs: "Thank you madam for reminding me, I know what to do!"
"Uwahahahaha! This looks like my man!"
…
At the same time, Zhou Yu also received reports from his scouts.
"Shi Hui's soldiers and horses are not far from here?" Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "Very good, send someone to meet the Huzhou army, and tell Shi Hui to stop his hard work and lead his troops to attack the city. He and I will
If you attack from both sides, you can achieve complete victory."
"promise!"
As the messengers left, Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at the city, the smile on his lips getting deeper.
"Let the three armies continue to shout loudly to disturb the enemy's military morale."
Following Zhou Yu's orders, the soldiers of the Sun Army began to shout and shout loudly at the city.
"The Jinling Army in the city should hurry up and offer the city, and a dog's life can be saved!"
"If you continue to persist in your stubbornness, you will attack later and leave no one behind in the city!"
"Now that things have happened, do you still want to sacrifice your life for Tao?"
The voice urging surrender from below reached the top of the city, and Guo Tu said tremblingly: "General Hussar, how about we... surrender temporarily first?"
"What?" Tao Ying was stunned when he heard this.
Guo Tu hurriedly said: "It's not a real surrender, it's a fake surrender! Fake surrender! Save your life first, and then make plans."
Tao Ying said angrily: "Shut up, I am the hussar general of the dynasty, the younger brother of the prime minister, a descendant of the Tao family, and a Conglong hero who supports the new emperor. You actually asked me to surrender to Zhou Yu. I would rather die than do it!"
Ding Feng came over, grabbed Guo Tu by the collar, and said, "Do you believe I will throw you down?"
Guo Tu screamed in fright when he saw Ding Feng being so arrogant.
At this moment, He Qi suddenly said: "General Hussar, something seems wrong outside the city!"
Tao Ying and others turned to look.
But on the west side of the city, an army of tens of thousands of people appeared vaguely in front of everyone's eyes on the top of the city.
Moreover, they have already set up their formation and are moving quickly towards Nanchang City.
When Tao Ying saw it, his legs began to tremble.
Lu Dai frowned and said: "The opponent's formation does not seem to be an siege formation... Isn't this clearly a formation method for plain warfare? And there is not even a single siege equipment in the front formation?"
Not only Lu Dai and He Qi, it was obvious that Zhou Yu also noticed something was wrong with the situation!
He frowned and said, "Quick, get the whole army in formation!"
Under the command of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, the officers and soldiers of the three armies turned their troops around and set up their positions to meet the enemy.
Zhou Yu asked one of his cavalry to take his message and rush to the Jiaozhou Army to ask them what they wanted to do.
But before the cavalryman could reach the opponent's formation, he was shot down by an arrow from the Jiaozhou Army and died on the spot.
What followed was that the soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army began to attack the Sun Army!
