Chapter 783 Reinforcements have arrived
The reason why Sun Jian still insists on taking Changsha City until now is not that he still wants to continue to attack Jingzhou, but completely to protect himself.
Since he had just figured it out thoroughly, he had already realized that their current situation was not good, and it was very likely that Liu Biao had opened a big net for them.
What they were waiting for was that they took the initiative to get in, and at this time he had already led Jiang Dongjun into this big net, and it was extremely difficult to get out again.
And only by taking Changsha City in front of them, can their Jiangdong Army have a place to settle down, even if Liu Biao does not forgive, they can also rely on it!
Therefore, the Changsha City in front of them has become the only hope for their Jiang Dongjun.
If he can't take Changsha, then Jiangdong Erlang, who followed him on the expedition this time, is likely to be buried with him!
In order to prevent this worst from happening, they must do everything in their power to take Changsha.
Fortunately, now that Zhou Yu has a plan, this is simply great news for their entire Jiangdong army.
All he can do now is trust Zhou Yu unconditionally.
Thinking of this, Sun Jian came to Aiko's sickbed, and after confirmation, he knew that Aiko's current injury was no longer a major problem.
After carefully explaining to the military doctor who escaped death, Sun Jian took the generals under his command and turned around and left the camp.
And Zhou Yu also left this big tent after carefully confirming the situation of his righteous brother, and now it is close to evening, and it is about to be the time for the implementation of the plan.
At this time, he still has a lot of things to deal with, and until this time, there has been no news from Jiang Qin who he sent out, could it be that his judgment has been wrong?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Yu felt a little uneasy, he had to confirm the situation on Jiang Qin's side as soon as possible, only in this way could his plan be confirmed, and whether it could be continued to be implemented.
After leaving Sun Ce's big tent to recuperate, Zhou Yu walked briskly towards his tent, and a quarter of an hour later he had already arrived at the door of his big tent.
Just as Zhou Yu was about to move forward, the leader of his guards suddenly came to his side.
This action made Zhou Yu realize at that time that maybe Jiang Qin had already sent news.
Sure enough, when he was the leader of his guards, he came to his side and sent him the long-awaited news.
Jiang Qin really lived up to his expectations and found the ambush soldiers in Jingzhou hidden nearby according to his instructions.
And Jiang Qin did it really perfectly this time, he found no more ambush soldiers, no less, exactly 5,000 people, and now these 5,000 people have been completely annihilated by Jiang Qin.
At the same time, Jiang Qin also captured the other party's general, according to the news sent back by Jiang Qin, this Jingzhou military general is Cai Zhong, the brother of the Jingzhou general Cai Mao.
This is simply another great news for the Jiangdong Army, and I believe that with this person in hand, Changsha City will definitely fall into his pocket tonight.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately ordered someone to recruit Pan Zhang, who was also a general who was under the command of the lord not long ago.
Although his martial arts are slightly inferior to Bo Fu and Youping, he is also a brave and resourceful general.
Soon, Pan Zhang, who looked puzzled, came to Zhou Yu's big tent.
When he heard Zhou Yu say that he would let him lead his troops to Changsha Fraud City tonight, Pan Zhang's face showed a look of great surprise.
After he joined the command of the lord, Pan Zhang wanted to prove his ability more than once, but unfortunately, the Jiangdong army has not made any major moves.
It was easy to wait for the lord to start attacking Jingzhou, but he didn't expect that the division was unfavorable, and even the lord's eldest son was injured in the battle not long ago.
Pan Zhang knows that his ability is not recognized by the lord now, and the lord trusts him at such a critical moment, and he must have followed the lord for many years as a veteran.
So he returned to his tent a little lonely, but he didn't expect that not long after he sat down, Zhou Dudu's guards came to herald the order, saying that Zhou Dudu had an invitation.
At that time, Pan Zhang realized that his opportunity might arise, so he didn't even bother to drink a sip of water, and followed the governor's guards directly here.
Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Zhou Dudu saw his ability and assigned himself such a dangerous but important enough task.
As long as he can solve this task perfectly, from now on, even if he has a firm foothold in the entire Jiangdong Army, he will no longer be a nobody on the side of the lord!
Soon Pan Zhang, who was very excited, left Zhou Yu's tent, and after Pan Zhang left, Zhou Yu immediately got busy, and now there are still many things to deal with him.
The sky slowly darkened, and the city of Changsha at this time also fell silent, and the soldiers who were tired for a day and the people who helped defend the city fell asleep on the city wall.
Only Wei Yan was still leading his guards, constantly patrolling the city walls on all sides, and he knew that he must not take it lightly at this time.
The Jiangdong Army, which suffered a big loss during the day, will definitely not stop there, they will definitely attack Changsha again, and night is their best cover.
If he had enough manpower now, he would not be too afraid of the enemy's night attack, but now he had more than 2,500 available troops in his hands.
And among the more than 2,500 people, many were wounded soldiers.
Coupled with the tens of thousands of untrained civilians, the civilians might have helped them defend the city in normal times.
But once an emergency is encountered, it would be good if these people did not add to the chaos, so Wei Yan could only personally patrol the city with men and horses to prevent the Jiangdong army from coming to sneak attack.
At this time, it was already the third watch day, and even with Wei Yan's physique, after a day of fighting, he felt a little tired, not to mention his guards.
Wei Yan looked at the tired guards worriedly, and then looked at the soldiers under his command who were lying up and down at the head of the city, and the worry in his heart was infinitely magnified.
Now that the time has just passed, they still need to hold on to Changsha City for two whole days, can they hold on to these two days?
Just when Wei Yan was getting more and more worried, they had already arrived at the northern wall of Changsha City, and suddenly the leader of his guards hurried to the battlements beside him.
After seeing the actions of his guards, Wei Yan was shocked in his heart at that time, could it be that the Jiangdong Army had already detoured back to the north of Changsha City?
If this is the case, it will simply be a bad situation, once they are surrounded by the Jiangdong Army on all sides, will the men and horses who came to support still arrive in time?
Just when Wei Yan's worries were about to reach their peak, he suddenly heard an exclamation from his guard commander, followed by a forcibly suppressed laughter.
"Dezi, what happened? Why don't you get over here and make it clear to Ben! ”
"General Qiyu, great news, the reinforcements have arrived, the reinforcements are really coming!"
