Chapter 657: Xinye City is broken
"Rubbish! What a waste! After Sun Quan received the news, his first reaction was like this, he now completely looked down on Liu Bei, in his opinion, as long as the operation was done properly, Jingzhou could be captured.
But what about Liu Bei? Liu Bei didn't capture any city or county in Jingzhou at all, not to mention, even his original territory in Jingzhou, Xinye, was about to be captured, which couldn't help but make Sun Quan even more disappointed in Liu Bei!
This Liu Bei, it's really mud that can't support the wall!
Sun Quan thought so much in his heart, no matter what others do, anyway, this alliance, he will not be concluded!
Sun Quan didn't think about it, why was Liu Bei so embarrassed? Why did you not capture Jingzhou but caused a commotion? From this point alone, Sun Quan is inferior to Cao Cao!
And Sun Quan's Lu Meng, Zhang Zhang and others seemed to feel a little wrong, but even if they were all angry, they couldn't say much, so now they could only wait for Sun Quan to vent, and then they would talk to Sun Quan again.
"Humph! This alliance, whether it is not knotted, we will develop it ourselves now, and when Liu Bei and Cai Mao are both defeated, we will send troops and take Jingzhou in one fell swoop! Sun Quan thought for a moment and commanded.
"Yes!" Although the generals knew that this was what Sun Quan was saying in anger, they could only obey the order.
Lu Meng and Zhang Zhao talked for a while, shook their heads, and didn't say anything, now is really not the time to talk about this!
On the other hand, in Xinye City, Chen Gong, together with Chen Zhi, led the soldiers who had just been recruited and left behind to defend the city to resist the attack of Cai Mao's 100,000 soldiers and horses!
There are no outstanding generals under Cai Mao, the more famous ones, such as Zhang Yun and Huang Zu are both naval generals, and when they fight on land, they don't seem to have the slightest advantage, and Chen Dao above the city head is incarnated as a firefighter, where there is a mistake in the defense, he will rush to wherever Chen arrives, and where Cai Mao's army climbs to the top of the city, he will go to kill the enemy!
The siege of the city for three consecutive days made the defenders in the city very tired, especially Chen Zhi, although he killed many people, although his physical strength was good, but, for three consecutive days, Cai Mao was like crazy, attacking the city day and night, strong as Chen Zhi felt that he couldn't bear it!
By the fourth day, the defenders of the city were already barely supporting, and Cai Mao's siege army seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and now, it was still alive and well!
"Gong ...... Mr. Gongtai, what the hell is going on? Chen Zhi panted while looking at the siege soldiers under the city, and was very puzzled in his heart, what is the situation, why are these soldiers so brave, why do these soldiers not know that they are tired?
"This Cai Mao, hey!" Chen Gong sighed, with his eyesight, how could he not see that Cai Mao was using a very cunning trick to attack the city this time? Cai Mao asked the soldiers to take turns to rest and take turns to attack the city, so that the soldiers all had combat effectiveness! When the soldiers arrived at the siege, they were all alive!
"Huh?" Chen Zhi was puzzled, and looked at Chen Gong suspiciously, what happened to Cai Mao?
"Cai Mao may have someone to help him, we can't do anything, let's prepare to abandon the city and escape!" Chen Gong said with a sigh.
"Huh? Abandoned city? Chen Zhi doesn't care if there are any masters to help, but Chen Gong said that he wants to abandon the city, then he is not calm, why should he abandon the city, he can still hold on!
"That's right, not only General Chen, but even the soldiers defending the city are already exhausted, if they continue to defend it, sooner or later they will be breached, our number is too small, there is no chance to take turns at all, and Cai Mao is constantly attacking the city day and night, so if it continues for another day, it is estimated that the city will be broken!" Chen Gong analyzed helplessly.
"Now, the lord is leading troops to fight outside, we really have no reason to let the lord lead the troops back to help, and we shouldn't be waiting for the moment when the lord comes back! So now we can only choose to abandon the city and flee, and go north to join the Lord! Chen Gong continued.
"This ......" Chen Zhi hesitated a little, before Liu Bei set out on the expedition, he had explained to him that he must protect this Xinye City, because this is Liu Bei's root! But now, Chen Zhi seems to be unable to complete the task assigned by Liu Bei, Chen Zhi can't help but look a little gloomy, because he is a loyal and righteous person, as long as the lord says a word, he will do it desperately! But this time, I want to disappoint the lord!
Seeing that Chen Zhi's expression was slightly gloomy, Chen Gong naturally knew what Chen Zhi was thinking, in fact, wasn't this what he was singing in chorus? If he could not abandon the city, who would want to abandon it and flee? Ay! But the facts are here, if they don't abandon the city, what choice do they have?
"General Chen Zhi, although we have abandoned the city and fled now, once we meet with the lord, we can first capture Nanyang County and Nanxiang County, and then join forces together, and then return to attack Xinye City, and then we will come back to take revenge!" Chen Gong comforted Chen Daodao.
"Hmm!" Chen Zhi nodded firmly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "When the time comes, Chen Zhi must take the lead and take this Xinye City again!" ”
"Don't worry, the Lord Guild understands you!" Chen Gong continued to comfort Chen Dao, in fact, when Chen Gong said this, why wasn't he comforting himself?
"Thank you, Mr. Gongtai! I figured out what to do! Chen Zhi arched his hand towards Chen Gong and said very gratefully.
"Hehe, General Chen, in fact, sometimes, retreating is not necessarily a sign of cowardice, and sometimes, retreating as advance can often get unexpected results!" Chen Gong smiled slightly.
"Hmmm! Let's go and reorganize the army here! Chen Zhi nodded, and then strode out of the city.
"Hey! My lord, I am ashamed of my entrustment to you! Chen Gong sighed, and then looked up at the sky.
"Give it all to me, this time you must take down this new field for me!" Cai Mao rode on his horse, holding a sword and shouted loudly.
With Cai Mao's shout, the soldiers rushed to Xinye City one by one like hungry wolves! In fact, Cai Mao is also depressed enough, Xinye City is completely more stubborn than he imagined, this Xinye guard, is really difficult, how many times, his soldiers are about to attack the city, but they were beaten back by the guard of Xinye City, three days and three nights in a row, Cai Mao saw that the general was completely sleepless, is this still a person?
However, Cai Mao did not have the slightest fear, because in his opinion, the extra bag on his desk was very useful, attacking the city overnight, resting in waves, such a wonderful attention, he couldn't think of it in his life, but this bag helped him a lot!
