531. Lujiang Offensive and Defensive Battle
Guan Yu led the army into Yangzhou, and the various counties he passed by looked at the wind. All the way unimpeded, I came to the city of Lujiang.
This Lujiang City is the second largest city in Yangzhou, and its guard is Cheng Pu, a veteran of Eastern Wu. Cheng Pu has been in charge of Lujiang for many years, and the original three-zhang city wall was raised to four zhang by him. And he also deliberately ordered people to thicken the city wall by one layer. Such a strong city is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Guan Yu and Han Fei under the city were watching, Guan Yu turned his head and asked Han Fei: "Zicong, this Lujiang City, how do you think it is good to attack it?" ”
"Second General, in my opinion, it's better to use a catapult to test the attack first, I have some ideas in my heart, but it's not too late for him to wait and see." Han Fei said with a smile.
After listening to Han Fei's words, Guan Yu nodded and said, "It's okay, then I'll order someone to build a few catapults." ”
Just do it, Guan Yu ordered the camp to build three catapults in just one day. So early in the morning of the third day, Lujiang City was attacked by a boulder.
"Phew!" Sun Jing spit out the stone powder in his mouth and slapped the green bricks at the head of the city, and said angrily: "The Qi army of the dog day knows that throwing stones, if it is a man, he should come up and fight with real knives and guns!" The two guards behind him all smiled bitterly, and one of them couldn't help but say, "General, let's go down and take avoidance!" This city is too dangerous! ”
Sun Jing was furious when she heard this: "What to avoid!" There are no cowards in my Sun family who escaped from the battle, and today I want to see if the Qi army can attack the city after throwing stones! ”
When the two guards saw that his head was so iron, they didn't dare to say anything more, and the two of them held their shields and still squatted behind him to protect him.
The catapult of the Qi army was thrown continuously for a whole morning, and finally stopped projecting. But before Sun Jing could be happy, he saw the Qi army collect troops and return to the camp. The imaginary siege did not start.
It's like you're ready and waiting for the other person to punch, but they suddenly turn around and leave. Let's prepare all in vain, and it wastes a lot of your time. For this reason, Sun Jing was not to mention how annoyed, he thought that he would be able to kill the Quartet today, teach the people of Qi a good lesson, and by the way, let them understand the family style of the Sun family. Who knows that they didn't send troops to attack the city at all.
Seeing that there was no battle to fight, Sun Jing scolded and scolded with an angry face and walked down the city. Back in the city lord's mansion, Cheng Pu asked him, "How does the third prince feel about guarding the city today?" ”
When Sun Jing heard this, he immediately scolded: "So that the old general knows that those Qi troops are all gutless rats, and they can't do anything except throw stones!" Master, I waited all morning and didn't see them attacking the city, I think I was scared! ”
Cheng Pu nodded with a smile on his face, complimented Sun Jing a few words, and then watched him go down to rest. After Sun Jing left, Cheng Pu had a smile on his face. Turning his head to the guard, he said: "Tell the captains of the various city heads, whoever dares to let the third prince go to the city without permission, I will personally cut him!" The guards didn't dare to slack off when they heard this, and ran out to deliver the order.
"Han Fei, Guan Yu, what are you going to do? Do you want to surround the point and send reinforcements? Cheng Pu grinded his beard and frowned and thought, "It's been three days, why don't you attack the city yet?" ”
Just when Cheng Pu was puzzled, Guan Yu in the camp outside the city was also asking Han Fei: "Zicong, why don't you make a temptation to attack the city today?" ”
"Second General, now is not the time!"
"Oh? Zicong, what are your plans? You tell me first, save me from ruining the good thing! Guan Yu said half-jokingly.
Han Fei shook his head and said, "I don't have a very good way, but now that the morale in Lujiang City is booming, it is indeed not a good opportunity to attack the city!" ”
"And what do you see, when?"
"Let's wait three days. If there's really no way, then attack the city! ”
Guan Yu listened to Han Fei's words, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you three days, and as soon as the three days are over, I'll attack the city in a big way." ”
"Good!" Han Fei responded.
