Sun Ce was angry, he was really angry with the Tao merchant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

lost a sister in vain, and the messenger was humiliated to such an extent that he lost face.

Even, the potter also released cruel words, and even released cruel words, wanting to cut off his head with his own hands.

Under this humiliation, Sun Ce was so enraged that he was about to go crazy, forgetting his current strength, and tried in vain to fight the potters with his current strength.

In anger, Sun Ce immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the matter of defending the city.

All the generals gathered together, and they had all heard about the failure of Sun Shangxiang's assassination, and their moods were all hit hard, where was they as excited as Sun Ce.

In the main hall, there was a mood of defeatism, and even a wise man like Pang Tong had no other way at the moment.

"Big brother, even if the plan to delay the potter fails, we still have 8,000 elite soldiers in our hands, and there is a strong city like Jianye, if we fight to the death, we may not be able to defend it."

No one responded to Sun Ce's call to fight to the death, so Sun Quan had to stand up and cheer for his brother.

Sun Cehuan glanced at the generals, and they were still lifeless, with the word "not confident" written on their faces.

Seeing that the morale of the generals was so low, Sun Ce's face suddenly turned angry, and he flicked his hands and shouted: "You are all my big Wu Erlang, now that the country is in danger, where is the usual courage, are you all scared by that pottery thief!" ”

Sun Ce wanted to use the method of agitation to arouse the fighting spirit of the generals.

As soon as he said this, all the generals were slightly moved, as if the residual blood and fighting spirit in his heart were finally awakened by Sun Ce.

Tai Shi Ci was the first to jump out, and said angrily: "Don't worry, the king, my big Wu Erlang, how can I be the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and the big deal is to fight to the death with the pottery thief, and the last general is willing to go to the soup for the king, and he will not hesitate to do anything." ”

Zhou Tai also stood up immediately, arched his hand, raised his voice, and shouted: "The pottery thief is too rampant, he dares to underestimate my Da Wu no one, he dares to attack Jianye, and the last general will call him to break the halberd under the city, knowing that my Da Wu Erlang is a bloody man." ”

For a while, in the main hall, the generals were impassioned, and their fighting spirit gradually recovered.

Sun Ce was a little satisfied, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Very good, if you are so ambitious, this king will rest assured, let's discuss and discuss, how to defend the city." ”

Sun Ce's voice fell, and in his ears, there was a sudden sound of waves and water, and even the ground under his feet was shaken.

The sound of water waves?

Outside the main hall, how can there be the sound of waves?

Sun Ce's expression changed, and he jumped up in a hurry, jumped down the high steps, and ran to the door of the main hall in a few steps.

The rest of the civil and military forces were also suspicious, and they got up one after another, followed Sun Ce out, and looked in the direction where the sound of water came.

Then, the monarchs and ministers of Wu State, everyone was shocked and changed color.

Because they saw that at the end of their field of vision, in the southwest of Jianye City, they saw a vast flood, wave after wave, surging towards the city wall.

Flood the city!

"Outside Jianye City, how can it be flooded, where did this flood come from?" Sun Ce panicked and shouted at the left and right civil and military officers.

Sun Ce was stunned, and the civil and military courtiers around him were all stunned and dazed, and they couldn't figure out where the sudden flood outside the city came from.

Could it be that it fell from the sky?

When everyone was shocked and dazed, it was Pang Tong who reacted first, his expression changed, and he said hurriedly: "King, the minister understands, this must be the pottery thief who broke the Qinhuai River dam and wants to use the river water to flood my Jianye!" ”

Break the Qinhuai River to flood Jianye!?

Sun Ce's body shook violently, and suddenly he was suddenly shocked, and his whole person was petrified in place.

He never imagined that the potter's methods would be so ruthless, and he would come up with such a vicious strategy as flooding Jianye.

On Sun Ce's face, the confidence that had just been ignited was extinguished by the vast water outside the city in an instant, and all that was left was panic.

Outside the gate of the main hall, the monarchs and ministers of Wu Kingdom were all in panic and helplessness.

……

West of Jianye City, Stone City.

Above the city, the potter was sitting on the head of the city, crossing Erlang's legs, drinking wine, and smiling at the good show of flooded Jianye.

Since the stone city is built on Qingliang Mountain, its terrain is higher than that of the owner city, so the flood did not flood the stone city, and the potters can leisurely watch the excitement.

This is the good plan that Lu Xun offered him.

Didn't you Sun Ce rely on Jianye City and try to hold on in vain, then Lao Tzu simply didn't rush to attack, first flood you with water, soak you for a month, and then clean you up.

At that time, the morale of the Wu army in the city was exhausted, and the buildings in the city were also softened.

The potters then used Lu Xun's strategy, and after driving away Kan Ze, they mobilized nearly 10,000 soldiers to dig up the Qinhuai River outside Jianye City in one fell swoop, and directly irrigated Jianye City with the water that broke the embankment.

After a sip of wine, the potter eagle eyes swept Jianye again, only to see less than half a day's effort, the surging water of the embankment, will be around the Jianye City, the raging torrent, pervasive from any gap, infiltrated into the Jianye City, not long before most of the city, all soaked in the water.

Because the location of the stone city is relatively high, the potter sitting at the head of the city can clearly see the tragic scene of the entire Jianye City being flooded.

Facing the stone city tower is the palace of King Wu where Sun Ce is located, which was built on higher ground, and it is also the only location in the entire Jianye City that may not be flooded.

Tao Shang looked at the golden hall of the Wu Palace, he seemed to be able to see that Sun Ce was standing at the foot of the high stairs at this time, with such a depressed and panicked, angry but helpless expression, helplessly looking at the flood all over the city.

The potter smiled, and said coldly: "Sun Ce, don't you want to hold on, you do defend it, this king wants to see how long you can hold on." ”

……

At sunset, looking from the high platform where the main hall is located, almost half of Jianye City has been turned into Zeguo.

With the exception of the city walls, and the high ground where the royal palace was located, the rest of the houses, both the dwellings and the barracks, were submerged in the water.

The soldiers of Jianye were all panicked, and they climbed high places to avoid the water, and the howls and screams resounded throughout the city.

Sun Ce stood at the foot of the palace gate, and looked at the turbulent water in such a daze, and looked at it for a whole day, his eyes became more and more gray, and the remaining confidence was already exhausted, and there was nothing left.

If the potters didn't make such a ruthless move, Sun Ce still had a bit of luck, hoping that relying on the strength of the city wall and the strength of the grain and grass, he could support him for three or five months.

But now, all the illusions have come to naught.

Flooding the city wall, it won't take a few days, it will soak the seemingly solid Jianye city wall, at that time, the powerful heavenly thunder cannon of the Wei State only needs to be easily bombarded, and the city wall is not bombarded.

Sun Ce also knew that at this point, it was impossible to keep Jianye.

"Tao thief, you are so ruthless, is it true that my Sun Ce is going to be destroyed in your hands, I don't accept it, I don't accept it......"

Sun Ce, who was extremely sad and indignant, clenched his fists and asked the sky secretly, holding his breath in his heart to the point that he was almost about to vomit blood.

Anger is anger, but anger can't solve the problem, after the anger is over, Sun Ce can only muster up the remaining fighting spirit and bite the bullet to deal with the dilemma in front of him.

It's a pity that in the face of this power of nature, even if he is as wise as Pang Tong, there is no skill to be done at this moment, and the advice he can give to Sun Ce is nothing more than mobilizing soldiers and people, carrying soil and stones, and blocking water wherever it leaks.

……

Ten days have passed since the flooding of Jianye, and in the ten days, the remnants of the military and civilians of Wu have suffered greatly from the flooding, and they are all miserable.

Under the immersion of the water, the Jianye city wall, which was built with a mixture of earth and stone, gradually began to show signs of small-scale collapse, and Sun Ce could only mobilize all the manpower and material resources to fill in all places.

Unknowingly, it has been half a month since the flooding of Jianye, although the city wall has not been soaked, but it is already stormy, and the first to collapse the city wall is the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Wu in the city.

Everyone was almost in despair.

In front of the deserted hall, Sun Ce stood there alone, looking at the miserable situation in the city, with a lonely face and a helpless face.

There was even a hint of despair in his eyes.

Hurried footsteps sounded, Tai Shi Ci rushed into the main hall with a body of mud stains, and said in a deep voice: "King, the west of the city is the most seriously flooded, and it has collapsed in several places, and it is necessary to transfer another thousand soldiers and civilians to the last general to be able to block it." ”

Sun Ce's expression changed slightly, and just when he wanted to speak, Ling Tong also rushed forward.

As soon as they met, they didn't even have time to salute, so Ling Tong said solemnly: "King, the situation on the city wall in the north of the city is not good, and I also ask the king to order the destruction of the people's houses and collect wood to strengthen the city wall, otherwise the materials will not be enough at all." ”

It was another bad news, for several days, Sun Ce's ears were filled with such urgent news every day, and he was almost numb when he heard it.

In the face of the generals' anxious requests, Sun Ce didn't know how to reply, because he had already mobilized all the manpower and material resources available in the city, and now it had reached the point where there was no one to adjust.

At this moment, he could only respond to Tai Shi Ci and Ling Tong with a bitter silence.

Seeing that Sun Ce ignored them, the second general was anxious, but he didn't rush too much, so he could only look at Pang Tong and Sun Quan.

At this time, Sun Ce's spirit was stimulated, and he had become a little moody, and only those two could say a few words in front of Sun Ce.

Pang Tong also looked helpless, took a deep breath, arched his hand, and said cautiously: "King, the pottery thief is so vicious, he actually resorted to such despicable means, according to the current situation, I am afraid that this Jianye City is indeed unable to hold it, but now the plan, if the water does not retreat, before the pottery thief soldiers and horses are not able to close the siege, abandon the city and retreat to Wu County." ”

Hearing the words of abandoning the city and retreating eastward, Sun Ce's body was shocked, and there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, as well as deep helplessness.

This time, he didn't get angry as usual, but sighed bitterly: "Abandon the city and retreat eastward, where can you flee to, Wu Jun, or Huiji?" Most of the Wu country was occupied, and the army of more than 100,000 was wiped out, just with two counties, how could this king resist the soldiers of the pottery thief, and the result was just an early death and a late death, is there any meaning? ”

Sun Ce now also understands that once Jianye fails, everything will become a floating cloud.

Pang Tong was helpless, so he had to look at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan also took a step forward and arched his hand: "Brother Wang, don't be discouraged, although we only have two counties left, but you must know that the pottery thief is not only our enemy, as long as we can rely on those two counties to defend until the time when the three kingdoms of Qin and Yanshu send troops, we still have the hope of making a comeback and recovering the lost territory." ”

Sun Ce's expression, which was already gloomy and close to despair, suddenly ignited a glimmer of hope, as if from the words of those two, he saw a residual glimmer of light.

Sun Ce was silent.

The fists clenched secretly, their teeth clenched, making a clicking sound, and their eyes began to burst out with deep unwillingness.

He knew that if he continued to stick to Jianye, he would not be able to wait for Zhou Yu's recruits, and if he couldn't wait for the Three Kingdoms to send troops, he might be attacked by pottery thieves and destroyed in the city.

Abandoning the city and retreating eastward, as Pang Tong and Sun Quan said, there may really be a glimmer of hope.

At the very least, I can survive for a while.

Seeing that Sun Ce had been shaken, Pang Tong gave Tai Shi Ci a look, suggesting that he stand up and persuade Sun Ce.

Tai Shi Ci understood, so he took half a step forward and said with a straight face: "The king, forgive the minister, it is really difficult to defend Jianye City, if the king wants to break through, he is willing to fight for his life and fight a bloody way for the king." ”

As soon as Tai Shi Ci expressed his position, Ling Tong also expressed his position, willing to desperately protect Sun Ce's eastward retreat.

Sun Ce's figure moved slightly, and the look in his eyes became more complicated, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, deciding whether to break through or not.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Ce took a deep breath, his eyes revealed a bit of determination, and he said hatefully: "The pottery thief wants to trap this king to death in Jianye City, but this king doesn't want him to get his wish, so let's go down and prepare, let's break through and retreat east." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall breathed a long sigh of relief.
