Chapter 875: Shock
Listening to the shouts of the sergeants under Zhou Yu, the Jinling army on the city wall was not calm at that time.
How could Shi Xie get involved with Zhou Yu?
Tao Ying's body trembled a little, he glanced nervously at Lu Dai beside him, and said in a low voice: "This, what should I do?" ”
Lu Dai obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen, he frowned, and said, "I sent scouts to search the surrounding Baili land a few days ago, but until now, no one has brought news back, and I don't know what is going on right now...... It's hard to say. ”
Guo Tu swallowed a mouthful of spit lightly on the side, and said: "You don't have to worry too much, in my opinion, Zhou Yu is just bluffing, he saw that he couldn't attack our city for a long time, so he resorted to this trick, wanting to attack our city, his heart is vicious...... But we don't have to be afraid of him! Why don't I believe it, he Zhou Yu can still hook up with Sergeant Xie? ”
After saying a word, everyone nodded and exclaimed: "Reasonable, reasonable!" ”
Tao Ying, in particular, seems to have turned to a life-saving straw.
"Is what Mr. Gongze said true? You can't lie to me! If not, I won't be able to explain to my eldest brother when I go back! ”
Guo Tu didn't make any achievements at all in this battle, and looking at the merits of others one by one, Guo Tu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, he was also a first-class strategist in Yuan Shao's account back then, one of the eight masterminds in Hebei, and now that he has arrived in Nanchang City, why did he actually become a third-rate?
No, I should be very good everywhere, okay!
finally waited for this opportunity, Guo Tu naturally would not let go of expressing himself, and opened his mouth to "speak" endlessly.
"Don't worry, with Zhou Yu's skill and courage, he can't hook up with Shixie in Jiaozhou at all, and Shixie is not stupid, how can he join forces with Sun Ce to ask for hardship? This is just Zhou Yu's ploy to disrupt our army's mind. ”
Tao Ying was still a little puzzled: "Why does Mr. Guo use it as a guarantee?" ”
Guo Tu proudly raised his head, patted his chest and said, "I use my head as a guarantee......"
"Report!"
With a burst of shouting, I saw a scout hurriedly rushing up the city tower, and said to Tao Ying: "General Qiyu Hussar, the 40,000 troops of Jiaozhou are heading north to my Nanchang City, and now they are less than thirty miles away from the city!" I don't know what the other army means. ”
When Tao Ying heard this, his face changed and he almost fainted.
Lu Dai stepped forward and said angrily: "Why don't you report it early?" ”
The scout's face showed a look of shame: "Most of the members of the school government were transferred to the north by the prime minister, and there is a lack of manpower, plus the Shixie army doesn't know what means they used, so they hide the marching route, and the county governments in various places actually didn't report it to the higher authorities in time......"
"Enough!" Lu Dai waved his hand angrily, blocking the scout's words.
After speaking, he saw Lu Dai turn his head to look at Tao Ying, and muttered, "Tao Jun, this matter is difficult to handle." ”
Tao Ying raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his head: "The 40,000 troops in Jiaozhou, plus Zhou Yu's military horses, are 60,000...... With the garrison of Nanchang City, it can't be stopped at all! ”
Speaking of this, Tao Ying suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at Guo Tu.
saw Guo Tu hurriedly looking up at the sky, pretending not to see anything.
Lu Dai sighed and said with a wry smile: "Today's matter, I'm afraid it's a dead end, and we don't have any good way now but to stabilize the morale of the army and stick to the city...... Whatever step you take, even if it's a step. ”
Tao Ying's face was pale, and his legs were weak, as if he was going to sit on the ground.
Lu Dai's words, in a sense, have already pronounced his death sentence.
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 Yan's fierce face.
"Husband, ma'am?" Tao Ying trembled.
Hua Yan bowed his head and said: "Husband, you are the lord of a city, remember not to break your backbone in front of others, let the three sergeants laugh, remember, remember!" ”
Tao Ying looked at his ugly-looking wife blankly.
"Husband, even if we die, we have to die standing too...... Don't be afraid, there is a wife to accompany you in everything! ”
Tao Ying's eyes suddenly moistened, and he choked up: "Thank you Madame for reminding me, my husband knows what to do!" ”
"Woo wow hahahaha~~! It's like my man! ”
……
At the same time, Zhou Yu also received a report from the scouts under his command.
"Shihui's soldiers and horses, not far from here?" Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Very good, send someone to meet the state army, and tell Shihui to ask him to quit his hard work and lead the troops to attack the city. ”
"No!"
As the herald walked away, Zhou Yu looked up at the city, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.
"Let the three armies continue to shout loudly and disturb the enemy's morale."
Following Zhou Yu's orders, the soldiers of the Sun family army began to shout loudly to the city.
"The Jinling army in the city should hurry up and sacrifice the city, and it can save a dog's life!"
"If you are obsessed, you will kill it later, and let you wait for the chickens and dogs in the city to stay!"
"So far, do you still want to donate your life for the surname Tao?"
The voice of persuasion below reached the head of the city, and Guo Tu trembled and said, "Hussar general, otherwise, let's ...... first Surrender temporarily? ”
"What?" Tao Ying was stunned when he heard this.
Guo Tu hurriedly said: "It's not a real surrender, it's a fraudulent surrender!" Surrender! Save your life first, and then make a plan. ”
Tao Ying said angrily: "Shut up, I am a hussar general of the dynasty, the brother of the prime minister, a descendant of the Tao family, and a hero of Conglong who supports the new emperor, you actually asked me to surrender Zhou Yu, I would rather die than do it!" ”
Ding Feng walked over, grabbed Guo Tu's neck, and said, "Believe it or not, I threw you down?" ”
Guo Tu saw that Ding Feng was so arrogant, and he was so frightened that he squeaked and screamed.
At this time, He Qi suddenly said: "Hussar General, there seems to be something wrong outside the city!" ”
Tao Ying and the others turned their heads to look.
But to the west of the city, an army of tens of thousands of people vaguely appeared in the eyes of everyone on the city.
And they have already set up a formation and are moving quickly in the direction of Nanchang City.
Tao Ying saw it, and his legs couldn't help but start trembling.
Lu Dai frowned and said, "The other party's formation doesn't seem to be a siege formation...... Isn't this clearly the method of setting up the battle on the plains? And in its front formation, there is not even a single siege machine? ”
Not only Lu Dai and He Qi, it was obvious that Zhou Yu had also discovered that something was wrong with the situation!
He frowned and said, "Quick, order the whole army to line up!" ”
Under the command of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, the officers and men of the three armies turned their troops to meet the enemy.
Zhou Yu asked his cavalry to run to the Jiaozhou army with his own message, asking them what they were going to do.
But before the cavalry could rush to the opponent's formation, he was shot over by an arrow from the Jiaozhou army and died on the spot.
And then, it was the soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army who began to attack the Sun Family's army!
