Chapter 436: The Battle of Jiangxia (5)

Because the Qin army temporarily retreated.

The defenders of Jiangxia City also had a chance to breathe.

After all, no one wants to fight, and fighting is deadly, it's just unavoidable, but it's still very good to have a transition time.

They also know that war cannot be avoided.

At least, while they still occupy Jiangxia City and do not hand it over to the Qin army, the Qin army will not stop, but will continue to come and seize Jiangxia City.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Days passed.

Since that attack on Jiangxia City.

The Qin army did not seem to be anxious to seize Jiangxia City, and in the past few days, there was no large-scale attack, but only sent a group of soldiers and horses, led by a general, to call for battle.

Even if the Jiangdong Army did not respond.

The Qin army did not leave anxiously, but shouted outside the city, draining the morale of the Jiangdong army.

And Jiangxia City.

It's not very good these days.

Because of Qin Yin's strategy, the Jiangdong army in Jiangxia City is not doing very well, and their morale is no longer as sharp as before, and they no longer have the intention of desperately defending Jiangxia City, and the army's morale has been in turmoil.

And it was all because a few days ago.

caused by the rudimentary arrows fired by the archers of the Qin army.

Even with the suppression of Zhou Yu and others, there are still different statements, although they are not on the surface, but there are still many discussions in the army, and there is no way to stop it.

As a result of this.

Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lu Su, and Zhuge Jin also gathered.

"Governor, what should I do now? Although there is not too much chaos for the time being, there is a lot of discussion in the army, and the morale of the army has also been shaken. Lu Su said with an ugly face.

Zhuge Jin also said: "That's right, coupled with the shouting of the Qin army outside for a few days, it has caused turmoil in the hearts of the soldiers, if it weren't for the prestige of the governor over the years, something might have happened a long time ago!" ”

And Cheng Pu and Huang Gai didn't speak, but their faces were not good-looking.

What happened.

They all knew about it, and a few days ago, when the Qin army stopped attacking and temporarily retreated, they already knew all about it.

And the small strips of cloth tied to those simple arrows, they have all seen it, and when they look at it, they know what Qin Jun has planned, but they are powerless to hide it.

Because those rudimentary arrows are scattered everywhere, and they can't all be collected.

And from that day on, the people of the city also spread the word.

They all knew that this was the strategy of the Qin army, but they knew that they were powerless to crack it, and they knew that among the people in the city, there was a report from the Qin army.

Otherwise, how could it spread directly overnight.

Even with those rudimentary arrows, it will take a certain amount of time to fully spread, but now it is known to everyone.

knew that it was the Qin army detective who was playing ghosts, but they didn't know where the detective report hidden among the people was?

And knowing it, it doesn't have any effect now, and it's not the time to remove the Qin army's investigation.

Now they care about stability in the military.

Originally, facing more than 100,000 Qin troops outside the city, there was no advantage, not to mention, now that the army's heart is turbulent, it is even more difficult to resist the Qin army.

As Lu Su said, if this continues, they don't need the Qin army to attack, they themselves are already in chaos.

Glancing at the crowd.

Zhou Yu's face was also very ugly.

When the Qin army retreated, when he heard the reports of Lu Su and Zhuge Jin, he knew the seriousness of the matter, and he also had certain precautions.

At least the soldiers should not be let know too soon.

However, he didn't expect that there was still a report of the Qin army hidden in the city, so his preparations were all in vain.

If the defenders of the city were not his old troops, the prestige accumulated over the years might have been in chaos soon after the news spread, and it would have waited there until now.

But that's it.

But it couldn't be suppressed for too long.

There are already different voices in the army, and people are panicking.

After all, Sun Quan refused to send reinforcements, and there was no support from food and grass materials, which was a big deal for an army, and it was obvious that it was abandoned.

Such.

How could the soldiers continue to die for them?

If there is no direct rebellion, or a direct rebellion, it is already worthy of them.

If you still want the soldiers to fight to the death, that is to think more!

"There is nothing to be done!" Zhou Yu lamented.

Truly.

He didn't have anything to do now, he was exhausted from what he could do for a few days, what else could he do.

Keep cheating?

That's simply not possible!

It's been a few days, and at the beginning, there may be some suspicions, thinking that it is fake, but on the Jiangdong side, there is still no movement at all, not to mention sending troops to come, not even food and grass materials.

True or false, at a glance.

There is simply no way to cheat.

The most important thing is that their original food and grass materials can't last long.

Qin Jun's intentions are very clear, and they are still on the bright side.

With the distrust of him and Sun Quan, the arrangement was made.

Fighting a war, disturbing their morale, they did not continue to attack, and let them get into chaos on their own; And considering them, without support, then they can't hold out for long, as long as they wait until the food and grass are exhausted, they can win without a fight.

I didn't even think about going toe-to-toe with them.

Hear Zhou Yu's words.

Lu Su and the others were also silent.

They also know that this is a dead end, a dead end that cannot be resolved.

If you want to break the situation, unless there is support from Jiangdong, there will be no explanation at all, and you will not be able to change the panicked situation in the army now.

Besides, the more than 100,000 Qin troops outside the city will not wait forever.

In the past few days, people have been sent to call for war every day, and they are not watching their state, but the difference is an opportunity, an opportunity to break through Jiangxia in one fell swoop.

And with their current situation, such an opportunity will not be too far away.

The atmosphere is also very heavy.

"Let's go down first, let me think about it, and besides, we don't have much time left!" Zhou Yu said a little tiredly.

He was indeed tired.

Since Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and after there were changes, he often felt that he had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

I also often think in my heart, is it right or wrong to obey Sun Ce's last wish and put Sun Quan on the throne? If it weren't for that, it might be now....

"No!"

Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zhuge Jin looked at each other, and they also gave up.

I also felt that something was wrong with Zhou Yu's state.

wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to speak, so Zhou Yu could only go and be quiet by himself, and as for what would happen, they didn't want to think about it.

As it stands.

There's nothing they can do but go with the flow.
