After Sun Quan left Soochow on the boat of hope, the war in Quacheng became even more intense.
"Send the order and the entire army attacks the city."
After several days of consumption, the arrows in Qu'a City were finally no longer dense, and Xiang Ji was definitely no longer waiting.
There has been no news from the northern battlefield, which makes Xiang Ji's heart hang in the air every day.
Damn it, I don’t know what’s going on with Jia Xu and the others. Why hasn’t there been any news?
However, Xiang Ji never knew that because of the rebellion of the clans in Xiapi City, all the spies under Pei Yuanshao had been dispatched to all the prefectures and counties in Xuzhou, monitoring the movements of every clan.
Woo~~~
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As Xiang Ji's order was issued, the Chu State entered into a general attack on Qu'acheng.
A low horn sounded, followed immediately by the sound of cannons, and a thundering sound was heard.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After the cannon sounded, the dull sound of war drums came from the Chu army's rear array.
The Chu army that launched the attack rushed towards Quacheng one by one to the beat of drums.
"Come on!"
Lu Meng and Zhou Cang took the lead and led their soldiers to start erecting the ladder.
"Quick! Shoot the arrows and don't let them set up the ladder!"
"Rolling wood, rolling wood, hit me hard!"
"Kerosene, hurry up, what are the people below doing? Hurry up and bring the kerosene up!"
Under the all-out attack of the Chu army, Qu'a's defenders began to fall into panic.
These defenders didn't know why there were so many generals in the Wu Kingdom, but only a few old generals were present. Where were those young generals? Why was there no one to command them to resist?
"Gongjin, you betrayed me!"
Sun Ce sadly discovered that he was the last person among the top officials of Wu State who knew about Zhou Yu's arrangements.
Why, why did you let that boy Sun Quan escape? I, Sun Ce, am the king of Wu! I am the future of Wu!
Sun Ce was full of confusion and resentment about Zhou Yu's secret arrangement.
Could it be that, in your eyes, Zhou Yu, I, Sun Ce, am not as good as that brat who is still young?
Facing Sun Ce's questioning, Zhou Yu could only remain silent and speechless.
Now that Sun Quan has successfully retreated, and the Wu army in Qu'a has no way out, why do we still need to explain?
In fact, in Zhou Yu's eyes, the current Sun Ce is really not as good as that young man Sun Quan.
At least, Sun Quan hasn't given up hope yet.
But what about you, Sun Ce? You are simply a lost dog.
Where is the end of the pride you once had in the world? Where is the pride you once had in overlooking the world? Why is it all gone?
It wasn't me who betrayed you, it was you who betrayed me, our country, and our beliefs!
Recalling everything he had with Sun Ce when he was young, and looking at the crazy Sun Ce in front of him, Zhou Yu felt as if he was in a nightmare.
Why have you changed so much?
Why is that high-spirited Jiangdong bully missing?
If, if you can cheer up, we are not without the strength to give it a try!
But facing Sun Ce in front of him, Zhou Yu couldn't say this at all.
Ignoring the crazy Sun Ce, Zhou Yu turned around and walked back to the inner house.
Now, as the King of Wu, you don't even want to defend the city, so can Qu'a and the Kingdom of Wu be saved?
The Wu army who was resisting at the top of the city certainly didn't know what was happening behind them. Although they were full of confusion, they had no time to pay attention to the Chu army's tidal attack.
As the ladder gradually stood up, Lu Meng, who was leading the way, was once again the first to ascend the city.
"How dare you, little thief!"
Huang Gai, who was commanding the defenders on the side, saw Lü Meng charging at the top of the city and killing everyone in all directions. The Chu army who quickly took up their positions and cleared a space to climb the city was immediately panicked.
If, if this city was occupied by Lu Meng, then the Kingdom of Wu would really be doomed.
After all, facing the Chu army, which was far superior to the Wu army in terms of soldier quality and fighting will, Wu's only advantage was the city wall.
If even the city walls cannot be defended...
Lu Meng, who was killing the soldiers, was attracted by Huang Gai's loud shouting, and immediately took his sword to kill the oncoming Huang Gai.
This old man seems to be the guard of this city, right?
As long as he is taken down, this city will be easily conquered.
The young Lu Meng's desire for meritorious service far exceeded that of others.
After all, Xiang Ji's subordinates are basically all old people, and everyone named above is at least a general or above, but Lu Meng is the only one.
To put it nicely, he was a student of Taiwei Jia Xu and a rising star of Chu State.
To put it bluntly, he is just a big-headed soldier.
Yes, Xiang Ji still has not appointed Lu Meng to any official position.
Although everyone knew that Xiang Ji was optimistic about him, Lu Meng was still very depressed without an official position.
But how could he know that Xiang Ji didn't want Lu Meng to be just a mere general.
What Xiang Ji wanted was a command, a command like that of Tai Shi Ci, who could lead his troops to defend a side and attack cities and territories.
"Well done!"
Seeing Lu Meng charging towards him, Huang Gai did not dodge, but slashed his head with the big knife in his hand.
Oops!
Lu Meng had not seen the previous fight between Huang Gai and Zhao Yun, so when he found out he was a veteran, he didn't pay much attention. However, it wasn't until they actually fought that he realized how brave Huang Gai was.
Facing the slashing sword, Lu Meng, knowing that he was unable to resist, could only roll on the spot and dodge Huang Gai's attack in a panic.
But before Lu Meng could make another move, Huang Gai's broadsword unexpectedly flipped over, facing Lu Meng who was still on the ground, and swept away.
"ah!"
Lu Meng paid the price for his carelessness.
Lu Meng had no way to resist Huang Gai's sudden change of moves, so he could only twist around to avoid the vital point, but the sword still opened a gaping hole in his chest.
Blood continued to flow down Lu Meng's chest.
The pain in his chest kept irritating Lu Meng. After trying to stand up, Lu Meng could no longer take out his weapon and could only look at Huang Gai opposite him with unwilling eyes.
Why should I underestimate the enemy so much?
"Young man, you are very good. It's a pity that you met me."
Seeing that Lu Meng was able to avoid his fatal blow, Huang Gai was also filled with wonder.
But now is not the time to appreciate and support the younger ones. What Huang Gai wants now is to quickly kill Lu Meng and then drive off all the Chu troops who are charging towards the city.
The sword slashed down again. Facing the oncoming sword, Lu Meng closed his eyes in pain.
Not willing to give in!
I still have so many ambitions that have not been realized.
I haven't seen the Chu State's banner inserted in every corner of this land of China.
Although Lu Meng also wanted to dodge, the pain on his body kept reminding him that there was no way to avoid Huang Gai's fatal blow!
