Chapter 1079: Jia Xu's Defensive Methods

Sun Jian waved his army south, joined the army of Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, and finally eliminated the dilemma of food.

It's just that after the two armies converged, they still didn't take Jiangxia.

Huang Zu sent troops to Jiangxia and guarded the main road, which made Sun Jian very uncomfortable, and Huang Zu had already surrendered to Wang Can under the persuasion of Jia Xu and became an official of Shu. Gan Ning supported Huang Zu, and the situation in Jiangxia changed immediately, but the naval army and infantry army led by Gan Ning had limited strength, and it was more than enough to defend Jiangxia, but it was difficult to attack.

The war in Jiangxia is stalemate, and the situation has not yet opened.

This was unfavorable for Sun Jian, so Sun Jian launched a fierce attack.

Outside Jiangxia City, war drums beat and trumpets sounded.

The black-pressed soldiers rushed towards the city tower in front of them like a crowd, looking extremely excited and excited. Among them, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu both took the lead, leading the soldiers to attack the city regardless of their own safety. The two did not follow Sun Jian to Xiangyang, but they also learned the news that Han Dang was killed and Zu Mao was seriously injured.

All of this was caused by Wang Can.

Now Huang Zu has returned to Wang Can and is already a member of Shu. Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were full of resentment, and they both wanted to break Jiangxia, kill Huang Zu, and avenge the dead Han Dang.

The army rushed to kill, causing great pressure on Jiangxia.

On the city tower, Huang Zu wore armor and ran back and forth, constantly commanding the soldiers to resist the enemy.

Jia Xu stood calmly on the city tower, wearing a set of black armor inside, covered with a cyan robe outside, and ran back and forth. Although Huang Zu was very active, he always carried out Jia Xu's orders and regarded himself as Jia Xu's subordinate. Huang Zu knew the weight of Jia Xu and Gan Ning, and he was also willing to do things for Jia Xu.

It's just that Huang Zu is still a little worried in his heart.

Sun Jian's army besieged the city, and Jiangxia had no reinforcements, although there was no problem for the time being, it would definitely be dangerous in the long run. Huang Zu ran to Jia Xu's side and said with a little apprehension: "Military Division, the Wu army has been attacking the city for days, and the losses of the soldiers in the city are getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support it, so you have to plan early!" ”

Jia Xu asked softly, "Lord Taishou, do you want to abandon the city and escape?" ”

"Sonorous!!"

When the words fell, Zhou Tai held the handle of the knife and lifted it up, and a cold knife light appeared.

Zhou Tai originally worked with Gan Ning to contain the Jiangdong Navy on the river. But Jia Xu is like Jiangxia, and someone must protect Jia Xu's safety, so Zhou Tai has always followed Jia Xu.

Huang Zu glanced at the calm Jia Xu and felt that his scalp was numb.

Before he could say anything, the person in front of him had already guessed the result. Huang Zu saw that the offensive of the Wu army was unabated, and he was indeed a little scared in his heart, and Huang Zu was also afraid of being caught by Sun Jian. Back then, Liu Biao sent someone to intercept and kill Sun Jian, but Huang Zu personally took action, and almost killed Sun Jian, and Huang Zu has not forgotten this matter.

Huang Zu was afraid of being killed by Sun Jian, so he had the idea of escaping.

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Lord Taishou, Jiangxia City is strong and guarded by elite soldiers, and there are countless food and ordnance in the city, as well as countless people, do you really want to escape?" ”

"No, no!"

Huang Zu wanted to leave in his heart, but he repeatedly said that he was unwilling.

Jia Xu smiled and said unhurriedly: "To tell you a piece of news, the lord has pacified Jingbei and is now leading the army to Jiangxia." As long as you successfully defend Jiangxia, it will be a great achievement. ”

Huang Zu's eyes lit up, and his face also showed a look of joy.

Unexpectedly, the Shu army had already gone south.

Jia Xu glanced at Huang Zu and said, "Now that the wind is blowing towards the Wu army outside the city, you can use lime powder." ”

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

Huang Zu listened to Jia Xu's faint command and left happily.

He was also scared, because the lime powder was sprinkled in his eyes, and it was easy to burn his eyes, plus the current wind direction was blowing in the direction of Wu Jun, once the lime powder was thrown out, it would definitely be a big blow to Wu Jun outside the city. Huang Zu followed Jia Xu to do things, and the more he came into contact with Jia Xu, the more he felt that Jia Xu was unfathomable, and he was even very afraid of Jia Xu.

Lime powder was first recorded in the "Shennong Materia Medica", which explained in detail the function of lime powder and can cure diseases.

Jia Xu determined that the wind direction was blowing towards the Wu army outside the city, not inside the city, so he dared to order it. Otherwise, once the wind direction changes, it is your own people who are injured.

The siege continued, and countless Wu troops kept rushing to the city tower.

Huang Zu arranged for the soldiers to throw the prepared lime powder out of the city, and in an instant, white smoke filled the air, and the smell of lime powder filled everywhere. The direction of the wind was blowing towards the outside of the city, and the lime powder was blown by the wind, constantly drifting outward, rapidly expanding the area, and enveloping all the soldiers of the Wu army besieging the city.

The lime entered the eyes, and a series of screams immediately sounded among the soldiers of the Wu army.

"My eyes, they hurt, they hurt!"

"The son of a bitch raised it turned out to be lime powder, it hurts......"

……

Under the castle tower, a roar was heard.

Countless soldiers screamed loudly and miserably. Most of the soldiers did not know how to rescue them, and they were currently working on them, and there was no way to do so.

Not only that, but many soldiers also rubbed their eyes vigorously, which caused their eyes to be hurt even more.

The soldier who climbed up the ladder with his back bowed and his head down was fine, and continued to climb up. But the soldier who looked up had lime in his eyes, and in pain, he fell directly from the ladder and fell to the ground bleeding.

Jia Xu only defended with lime, which made the steps of the Wu army's siege of the city chaotic.

The right time, place, and man-made planning are too cruel.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai took the lead, they were old rivers and lakes, and the moment the lime was sprinkled, the two knew that nothing good would happen, so they directly bowed their heads and buried them, so they were not injured.

Sun Jian looked at the wounded soldier, his eyes flashing with rage.

Vicious, Jia Xu is too poisonous.

After the soldier's eyes were burned, it was almost impossible to treat.

Sun Jian thought so in his heart, but Huang Zu and Jia Xu would not have any sympathy. War and killing are the things of the dead, and if anyone sympathizes with the other party, the unlucky one will definitely be himself in the end.

Huang Zu ran to Jia Xu and asked, "Military Master, what should I do next?" ”

Jia Xu said flatly: "Pour the boiling dung juice down." ”

The speed of speech was still not hurried, and the tone was flat, but Huang Zu's waist was slightly bowed, and he was no longer straight. Standing next to Jia Xu, he unconsciously felt a coldness.

Huang Zu clenched his fists and said, "Strategist, the last general will do it." ”

As he spoke, Huang Zu's tone had already changed.

When he received the order, he ran back and forth on the castle tower, and ordered all the boiling dung juice on the castle tower to be poured out. These dung juices are extremely filthy things, after boiling, there is a foul smell on the city towers, after being poured down by the soldiers defending the city, the dung juice is poured like a heavenly river, forming a terrifying scene.

"Ah!!h

The screams soared into the sky.

The soldier who had just been wounded in the eye had not yet recovered, and his skin was splashed with hot feces, and his skin was immediately red and swollen and even blistered. The soldiers who were drenched in drenched were even more miserable, falling to the ground and rolling and howling. The soldiers even wanted to faint immediately, but the heart-rending pain kept them awake.

Downstairs, there were rolling and howling soldiers everywhere.

Except for the Wu soldiers who rushed up to the city tower, almost few soldiers were still climbing the ladder.

All the soldiers of the Wu army were scared and afraid.

Some of the soldiers slowly retreated unconsciously, and they no longer dared to approach the city walls. Sun Jian saw the situation ahead, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes flashed with fear.

"Mingjin, collect the troops!"

In the end, Sun Jian chose to withdraw his troops.

Now the lime powder alone and the boiling manure juice have caused a huge impact, not to mention the follow-up means. Sun Jian was forced to retreat in desperation.

At this time, a strong sense of powerlessness rose in Sun Jian's heart.

It's really difficult to attack Jiangxia!
