Chapter 242: Reason to Attack

Zhuge Jin planned to let the scouts contact Wancheng first, so that the city would know that reinforcements were coming, so as to boost the morale of the defenders.

The morale of the defenders was high, and it was not so easy for Lu Bu to attack the city.

Lu Bu brought a lot of men and horses, but compared with the defenders of Anhui City, there was no five-to-one advantage.

The ratio of military strength between the besieging side and the defending side is not five to one, and it will definitely not be easy to break the city.

Stabilize the soldiers defending the city, and then they confront Lu Bu outside the city.

Lu Bu, who has a large number of men and horses, will definitely be unable to hold out for a long time because of the excessive consumption of military rations.

As long as Lu Bu's military rations are exhausted, he can't help but not retreat.

However, judging from the current situation, the scouts they sent out did not reach Wancheng at all, and were intercepted and killed by Lu Bu's army.

Although there were still a few who had not come back and were not among the people in the car, Zhuge Jin felt that they must also be unlucky.

"I decided to attack the enemy forces." Sun Quan said with a cold face: "It's not a matter to wait like this after all. ”

"Don't be reckless!" Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "The scouts are killed, we can send them again, the first batch may not be hidden deeply, only to be discovered by the enemy, and then send the scouts out, and explain that they must pay attention to the enemy army." ”

"Attention? How to pay attention? Sun Quan asked angrily, "Have you ever seen a murderous scout so clean?" ”

Zhuge Jin didn't know how to respond.

In the past, when large armies were fighting, both sides would send scouts.

Scouts are the best at hiding compared to ordinary soldiers, and it's not easy to spot them.

Lu Bu was able to kill their scouts so thoroughly, it can be seen that the deployment has already been made, even if another group of people is sent out, it may not be possible for someone to come back alive......

"You don't have to say any more, and I don't want to wait any longer." Sun Quan said to Zhuge Jin: "I will give an order to let the army advance and advance to the outside of Anhui City as soon as possible." When my brother and his men saw us, they had the heart to defend against the enemy! ”

"Although what Zhongmou said is good, but ......" Zhuge Jin still wanted to persuade again.

Sun Quan raised his hand to stop him.

Subsequently, Sun Quan instructed the guards: "Pass the order, the army is ready to march!" Advance to Anhui City! ”

"Think twice!" Zhuge Jin said: "Our army rushed forward, it was in the hands of the enemy!" ”

"None of the scouts have returned, let alone contact Shangwan City, and we have no way of finding out how the enemy army is deployed." Sun Quan frowned: "All our movements are under the surveillance of the enemy army, and we are completely unclear about the enemy's movements. If it drags on any longer, how can such a battle be fought? ”

"It is precisely because we do not know the movements of the enemy that we cannot send troops at will." Zhuge Jin replied: "Zhong Mou is the main general, but you must not be impulsive, you must know that the lives of the soldiers are in your hands!" ”

"It's because I know that the lives of the soldiers are in my hands, so I can't let the army stand still here." Sun Quan said: "The soldiers are trapped here, like trapped beasts in a cage, even if they are full of skills, they can't show it!" ”

Without waiting for Zhuge Jin to argue, Sun Quan said: "You don't have to say it again, no matter what you say, I won't change my mind!" ”

Sun Quan was determined to send troops, and Zhuge Jin knew that no matter what he said, it would be impossible to convince.

There were dozens of human heads in the carriage, and it really made him speechless.

None of the scouts sent out could come back alive, and no matter what he said, it was impossible for Sun Quan to understand.

"What's that?" Sun Quan refused to follow Zhuge Jin's proposal, and a guard next to him raised his head to look at the sky and shouted.

Looking up at the sky, Sun Quan saw an extremely strange "big bird" soaring in mid-air.

The weather is clear, the big bird is soaring in the air, and the person "caught" under it is clearly visible.

He had never seen such a strange scene, Sun Quan asked Zhuge Jin with a stunned face: "Have you ever seen such a thing?" ”

"I feel like a flying kite flying in the sky." Zhuge Jin replied: "Actually, I have only heard that there is such a thing in the world, but I have never really seen it. ”

"What is a flying kite?" Sun Quan had never heard of flying kites.

He has indeed read a lot of books, but unfortunately most of them are military books and strategies for governing the world, and there are no whimsical and obscene things.

"It is said that the carpenter ancestor Gongyi once made a flying kite, which can fly in mid-air for three days and three nights without falling." Zhuge Jin told Sun Quan about the legend of the flying kite.

Listening to his story, Sun Quan's face became very ugly: "Will flying kites eat people?" ”

"Flying kites are made of wood, how can they eat people?" Zhuge Jin replied.

As soon as the words came out, he sensed that something was wrong.

He looked at the flying kite in the sky in astonishment, and his eyes stayed on the person under the flying kite.

"I said how could Lu Bu find out the movements of every scout, it turns out that some of them are overlooking from the sky." Sun Quan clenched his fists: "Order, release arrows into the air, and shoot down the person above!" ”

Soon after the order was given, the archers of the Jiangdong Army shot arrows into the sky.

The arrow flew into the air, and the glider, hovering between the blue sky and white clouds, saw that the momentum was not right, and quickly turned around and ran.

Although the glider in flight was much slower than the arrow, it was difficult for the arrow to catch up with him.

Even if a few fast ones were about to catch up, they fell from mid-air due to lack of strength.

The Air Force soldier who was operating the glider glanced back, smacked his lips twice, and flew towards the landing site.

Seeing someone fly away in the sky, Sun Quan's eyes widened and he didn't speak for a long time.

The officers and men of the Jiangdong Army were even more chaotic, and some people who were a little farther away from him even whispered something.

"Flying kites can't carry people, what was that just now?" After a long while, Sun Quan pointed to the sky and said to Zhuge Jin: "Lu Bu has this kind of thing, even if I send hundreds of scouts, it will not be enough for him to kill!" ”

Zhuge Jin also saw the scene just now.

When Sun Quan questioned him, he was at a loss and didn't know what to say.

Lu Bu had scouts who could fly in mid-air, and unless they burrowed into the mountains and forests, it was impossible for them to escape the eyes and ears of the place.

In terms of military intelligence, they have lagged behind Lu Bu.

For Lu Bu, their every move is very clear, but for the Jiangdong Army, which can't send scouts at all, the movements of Lu Bu's army are completely mysterious.

Seeing the scouts flying in the air with his own eyes, Zhuge Jin could no longer find a reason to persuade Sun Quan to give up.

Sun Quan once again offered to lead troops to attack, but Zhuge Jin did not respond.

"Do you think it's time to strike?" He was silent, but Sun Quan was unyielding: "The army is completely exposed to the enemy's sight, and the longer it is delayed, the less beneficial it will be for us!" ”
