Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 712

"It seems that Cao Jun intends to intercept our army to prevent our army from responding to the county seat of Shu County." Xu Sheng frowned as he looked at the five thousand Cao Jun who was digging the trench.

"Huh! Dig a trench? Huang made this trench their grave!"

The veteran Huang Gai had a fierce temper and wanted to kill with a nine-section iron whip. Xu Sheng hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Old General Huang, don't worry, it's just a trench. Our army doesn't need to rush to attack."

Xu Sheng explained softly: "There are still 12,000 troops in the city of Shuxian today, which is more than enough to defend the city. Although Cao’s troops are large, they are not as strong as the Yellow Turban thieves against the officers and soldiers in the Battle of Changshe. Our soldiers guard the city. Enough, if you go out of the city to fight in the field, you will inevitably fall into Cao Jun's scheme."

Huang Gai frowned, and said dissatisfied: "Then, what about this trench?"

"Cao Jun must not be able to guard the trench day and night. Our sergeant rests during the day to regenerate energy and goes out at night to fill the trench, isn't it enough?"

Xu Sheng said bitterly: "The key to this battle is to preserve strength and avoid field battles with Cao Jun as much as possible. The battle against the city should consume Cao Jun's strength as the top priority."

"Okay." Huang Gai sighed sullenly.

"Wen Xiang, this general is old. From now on, our Jiangdong Army will rely on you up-and-coming stars." Huang Gai suddenly said with emotion.

Xu Sheng laughed and said, "General Huang is really good at joking, you are not old, you beat it down with a blow, I'm afraid Xu's waist will be discounted."

When Huang Gai heard the words, he couldn't help laughing.

On the head of Shu County, after receiving the arrows from Junzhai, when even rows of Jiangdong soldiers rushed up to the tower, they stretched out their hands to support the fortresses of the city wall and looked far away at the array. Cao Jun came.

The force of the 20,000 Cao army is huge, and they advance and retreat in an orderly manner. They show the elite qualities that have experienced many battles. The Jiang Dong soldiers on the front of the city showed solemn expressions. It must have been a hard fight. How many people were killed or injured.

Step on!

On the stairs of the city wall, there was a sudden rush of footsteps. Several tall and wearing jade Jiang Dong soldiers jumped onto the top of the city and shouted: "The governor is here!"

As soon as the word "to" was finished, Zhou Yu was already on the top of the city. He wore a red cloak and steel armor. He pressed the hilt of the sword with his hands. The cap on his helmet was fluttering in the wind. His handsome face was serious and his features seemed soft. The combination of two kinds of beauty, fortitude, is really a rare beautiful man.

The Jiangdong army generals such as Tai Shici and Cheng Pu followed Zhou Yu. They all stepped forward with extraordinary aura. They surrounded Zhou Yu as if the stars held the moon, and added Zhou Yu's extraordinary temperament.

"Meet the Governor!" Jiang Dongbing on the top of the city clasped his fists and saluted when Zhou Yu was on the top of the city.

"Free gift."

Zhou Yu waved his hand, and then walked a few steps to the fortress of the city wall. He held the city head and squinted his eyes to look forward. He saw 20,000 Cao Jun line up, and when he was about one mile away from Shu County, he suddenly divided. For the three armies, to divide the troops toward the east, west, and north walls respectively, is the most classic method of encircling the three forces in a siege.

"It seems that Cao Jun is planning to attack the city." The veteran Cheng Pu gently stroked his gray beard and said slowly.

Tai Shi Ci was bright before his eyes, stepped forward, and bent over to Zhou Yu, saying, "If the governor, Cao's army is divided, the defenses around Cao Cao will be weak. Tai Shi Ci will ask a good soldier to attack Cao Cao's army and kill Cao thief!

Tai Shici has always been an activist, with a strong personality. He was a small official in the county, but the county and the state were very unhappy because of the incident, and the state sent someone to Yusi to send memorials. The county prefect learned that he was very anxious. Tai Shici volunteered to send the memorial.

Tai Shici traveled day and night, and Pegasus rushed to Luoyang, and found that the state officials had not had time to turn in the memorial. Tai Shici pretended to inquire about it, but it was torn apart as soon as he caught it. The state official was shocked, but Tai Shici told him: Anyway, the memorial has been torn, I am a capital offense, and you are at fault. Now we can only run away together.

The state officials were suffering from Taishi Cipit, and in desperation had no choice but to follow Taishici to the end of the world, the two people ran all the way across the sea to Liaodong by boat.

Later, Tai Shici returned to his hometown of Beihai across the sea. Kong Rong admired his bravery, so he took good care of Tai Shici's mother. Later, Guan Hai led his troops to besiege the North Sea, and Tai Shici volunteered to go out to report. He first confuses the enemy by practicing archery, and then breaks through the tens of thousands of bandits without the enemy's back, showing his courage.

Zhou Yu groaned for a while and shook his head: "Ziyi's bravery is known to the superintendent, but our army has few cavalrymen, and Cao Jun has many cavalrymen. If you are intercepted by Cao Junqingqi, Ziyi, you can still come back with bravery, my sergeant. But not as brave as you."

"Besides, in order to make it, we must first lie in wisdom and then courage. In terms of bravery, Bo Fu is comparable to you, but Brother Bo Fu is too reckless, alas..."

At this point, Zhou Yu suddenly fell silent, obviously thinking of Sun Ce.

Tai Shi Ci clasped his fist and said: "The governor said that he has been kindly taught, so please don't be too sad. Now the governor is the primordial pillar of my Jiangdong army and cannot fall.

"It's okay." Zhou Yu quickly recovered his mind and continued to look at Cao Jun on the opposite side, and at the same time began to order.

"General Cheng, you lead two thousand troops to the west gate for defense."

"Ziyi, you led two thousand troops to the east gate to defend."

"Zi Lie, you lead two thousand soldiers and horses to guard the north gate."

"Wen Si, you have two thousand soldiers and horses as a reserve team, ready to be dispatched at any time, and the remaining troops will rest temporarily and be replaced with **** soldiers at any time."

The generals clasped their fists together and said: "No!"

The military order ordered them to go down, and the generals went to execute them separately. Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers appeared on the three walls of the north, west, and the north. Sharp bows and arrows filled the city head. Behind the female wall, there are more than a dozen large barrels placed on a wooden frame, with a raging flame burning underneath. The soup inside is thick and yellow in color, giving off a strange smell. The city boiled around is all made of wet cloth. Covering his nose and mouth, he dared not come forward.

When Jiang Dongbing was preparing, the 20,000 Cao army was divided into three parts, reaching under the three walls of the east, west, and north respectively. The Cao army battle flag fluttering in the wind was fixed on the ground, and the 20,000 Cao army lined up and stood upright. Motionless in the wind, surrounded by various siege tools such as ladder trucks and bumping wood.

The city of Shu County had just gone through the war of Zhou Yu's rebellion. The Jiangdong army who entered the city had only time to mend it and pull out the arrow between the masonry piles, but the blood on it could not be erased. It seems that the coming war will turn Shu County into a blush.
