Chapter 162: Sleepless Night
On the second day, Sun Jianjun kept an eye on the movements of the support army outside the city, so much so that he did not attack the city all day.
The army of Gao Shun remained immovable, and stayed quietly in the camp from day to dusk.
Nonsense, Gao Shun, does he dare to make any moves? As long as he makes a little bit of a big move, I am afraid that Sun Jianjun will immediately see through the reality, and at that time, his own soldiers and horses will not be enough for the other party to fill in the gaps.
Anyway, after knowing that Xuchang City has not changed hands for the time being, Gao Shun has nothing to worry about.
However, this is not an option. According to common sense, when reinforcements arrive, they either enter the city or launch an offensive against the enemy forces outside the city, and there is absolutely no waiting outside the city. Zhou Yu may be cautious at first, but after a long time, he will inevitably have some suspicions, so he will make some temptations.
After all, it was impossible for Sun Jianjun to accompany Cao Jun to spend like this, they would always continue to attack the city, so they would eventually take action.
And as long as Zhou Yu is tempted, everything will be over.
Something must be done before Zhou Yu is tempted.
However, Guo Jia's advice ended in the plan of the suspicious soldiers, and what to do in the support army after that, everything must be done by Gao Shun himself.
What should we do to deal with the tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops? Gao Shun thought about it all day, but still couldn't think of any way.
After all, his opponent is Mei Zhoulang, a figure whose intelligence is definitely at the top level in this Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty.
If you want to get something cheap from Zhou Yu, how easy is it to talk about it?
Gao Shun racked his brains, but to no avail, but he did not give up.
If you can't think of it yourself, then see if there are any battles or strategies in Chinese history that you can learn from?
Not? Which method might work? Gao Shun had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly he seemed to think of something.
————————————————————————————————
Night, two watches.
The moonlight is as cool as water, pouring over the earth, bringing a bit of peace and tranquility to the cold night.
Zhou Yu sat in the tent and did not rest.
He's thinking about what to do tomorrow. Sun Jianjun didn't make any moves all day today, just wanted to wait for the Cao army outside the city to make a move first, and then see the move.
Unexpectedly, the Cao army did not move all day, so that the self-army also wasted a day in vain.
No, it must not be consumed like this anymore, and Sun Jianjun can't afford it.
If it takes one more day, the possibility of Xuchang City being conquered will be reduced by a few points.
Tomorrow, if they haven't made a move, then let themselves launch a tentative attack to see what happens.
In short, it can't be consumed as dry as it is today.
Just as Zhou Yu was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the camp.
The sound of drums and horns shook the sky, trampling the silence of the night to pieces.
"It's not good, Cao Jun robbed the camp!" Zhou Yu suddenly thought that Cao Jun didn't move during the day, was it just to prepare for this moment at night?
And listening to this sound, the 40,000 or so Cao troops outside the city seem to be pouring out.
Although Sun Jian's camp was full of vigilance, after all, only a small number of people were on duty near the camp gate, and most of them were still sleeping and dreaming in the camp tent, after all, the soldiers also had to rest.
Now everyone was awakened by this earth-shattering sound, and in a panic, they hurriedly put on armor and held guns, preparing to go out of the tent to face the battle.
But when all the soldiers hurriedly gathered together and prepared for a fierce battle, the sound suddenly stopped, and the whole world was silent again......
The outside of the camp was also empty, and there was no half of the enemy soldier at all.
Damn, I was tricked......
Everyone complained, after all, it was not pleasant to have their dreams disturbed.
Go back to sleep, and maybe tomorrow there will be a bad battle to be fought.
One by one, the soldiers returned to their tents and went back to sleep.
However, less than half an hour later, the earth-shattering war drums sounded again, soaring into the sky.
"Damn, it turns out that this is Cao Jun's strategy!" The last time Cao Jun was just bluffing, Zhou Yu felt a little strange, could it be that Cao Cao just wanted to play tricks on his own army? Doesn't that seem too childish? But now that the drums of war are beating again, Zhou Yu suddenly has a "realization", your Cao Cao played us before, just to make our army's psychology lax, and then want to take advantage of this to break the camp in one fell swoop?
Do you think I'm going to let you get away with it? Don't underestimate the quality of the Jiangdong Army!
"All troops on alert!" Orders were passed one after another, and not long after the poor Sun Jianjun's soldiers returned to the bed, they were about to get up again and get dressed again.
Yaya's phew, don't bring such a whole person! Most of Sun Jianjun had obvious resentment and anger on their faces, but they still got out of the bed, after all, if they coveted sweet dreams at this time, maybe they would never be able to dream in the future.
However, this time, Sun Jianjun's speed of attack was much slower than the previous one.
But just like last time, when they put on their armor, took their weapons, and went out of their tents to prepare for battle, all the sounds disappeared in an instant, and the heavens and the earth were silent again.
Outside the camp gate, there was still not a single shadow of the enemy.
"Ahhh——!hhh Most of the soldiers were going crazy, but even if they were angry, what could they do? After a period of venting noise, the soldiers finally reluctantly drooped their heads and went back to sleep.
It's a pity that they were not destined to be peaceful this night, and half an hour later, just as these hard-working Jiangdong soldiers fell asleep for the third time tonight, the drums sounded like thunder again.
"It's definitely going to trick us again, and we'll never go out this time." How can the soldiers want to continue tossing, although the story of the wolf is far from being born now, but the truth is the same, again and again, the old tricks are repeated, who will continue to bird you?
"Get up, get up for me!" However, when the soldiers were sleeping, they could vaguely hear the violent voice of Major General Sun Ce.
Soldiers can be affected by their own inertia, but generals like Sun Ce know very well that if the army is slightly negligent, then this time it may be really dangerous.
What the? You don't want to get up and go back to sleep? Well, Lao Tzu will fulfill you, let me sleep forever!
Now we are at a "critical juncture", who does not receive orders, who does not want to get up, sorry, military law is ruthless!
In the end, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were reluctant in every way. But he still came out dressed and assembled.
Of course, what awaits them in the end is still nothing.
Looking at the thick grievances on the faces of the soldiers, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and other generals secretly screamed that it was not good.
"Gong Jin, why don't we take the initiative to launch an attack on the enemy? Otherwise, it's really bad. Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu. The current situation can no longer be described as passive, and if the other side repeats this situation twice tonight, maybe the self-army will have the possibility of bombing the camp.
