Chapter 655: The Battle for Survival

"Zhongmou, what's wrong? What did Birffen say in the letter? Zhou Yu also became nervous.

Sun Quan sighed and said with a bitter face: "The Su thief sent Zhang Xiu to lead the cavalry to attack Hefei, and his brother was forced to be helpless, so he decided to abandon the guard and lead the army back to help Hefei. ”

Zhou Yu was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Bo Fu, is he crazy, isn't he afraid of falling into a desperate situation and being trapped in Hefei by the army of Su thieves?" ”

Zhou Yu, who was shocked, was a little out of control, and he couldn't care about being disrespectful to Sun Ce.

Sun Quan just sighed bitterly and handed the letter in his hand to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu snatched it up, and after taking a closer look, the shocked expression on his face gradually disappeared, turning into helplessness and bitterness.

He understood Sun Ce's hardship, and understood why Sun Ce had to risk his life and give it a go.

"Gongjin, brother is determined to take risks, what should we do?" Sun Quan Baba looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "At this point, the only thing we can do is to stick to Jianye, and we must not let Bo Fu down." ”

"Then should we withdraw all the soldiers and horses to Jianye City and concentrate our forces to defend the city?" Sun Quan asked again.

"No!" Zhou Yu resolutely waved his hand, "The quarrying fortress must not be abandoned, once it is abandoned, the soldiers and horses of the Su thieves can calmly besiege Jianye, and we must block the Su thieves on the Yangtze River!" ”

Sun Quan had no idea, so he could only follow Zhou Yu's strategy and give an order.

Zhou Yu did not dare to hesitate, and immediately left Jianye and went to the quarry fortress dozens of miles away, preparing to personally sit in the town and block the attack of the Wei army.

Soon, the mouth of the Wei army fell, and the news that the Wei army was about to build a business spread throughout the city, and the whole city was shaken for a while.

Lu Su and other civil and military generals in Jianye also hurried to the military mansion, all wanting to ask the truth.

Sun Quan took out Sun Ce's letter and showed it to the civil and military personnel, so as to declare his authority, so that the civil and military personnel present could obey his orders.

Although Sun Quan's prestige is not as good as Sun Ce's, he has guarded Jianye for many years, and has also established a certain prestige in the hearts of the military generals, and everyone does not dare to slack off.

So, Sun Quan quickly confessed, and asked them to do their best to piece together Qingding, organize a new army, strengthen the city defense of Jianye, and prepare for a big war.

Everyone took the order and retreated, Sun Quanchang exhaled, sat down with his forehead in his hand, and was tired.

At this time, a dry cough sounded from the bottom of the stairs.

Sun Quan looked up, but saw that Lu Su had not left, standing there coughing dryly, as if he had something to say.

"Is there anything else wrong with Zijing?" Sun Quan straightened up and forcibly pulled himself together.

Lu Su walked up the stairs, approached Sun Quan, and said in a low voice: "General Zhongmou, now that Jiangdong has reached a critical moment of life and death, the lord is desperate, you should also plan for the back road as soon as possible." ”

"You mean, I'm afraid that my brother won't be able to hold Hefei?" Sun Quan's brows furrowed.

Lu Su sighed: "I really don't hide it from General Zhongmou, since the battle of Xiakou, I have participated in most of the battles against Su Zhe, and I have seen with my own eyes the invincible power of the Su thief. ”

Sun Quan's expression was grim and silent.

After a while, Sun Quan sighed: "So, according to Zijing's opinion, we can't resist that Su thief no matter what?" ”

Lu Su said: "That's not necessarily, it can only be said that the opportunity is not big, so I asked General Zhongmou to prepare early." ”

"Since you can't resist the Su thief, how can there be any way back." Sun Quan smiled helplessly.

Lu Su stepped forward and whispered to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's blue eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at Lu Su in surprise: "Zijing, is this feasible?" ”

"We won't take this step until we have to do it, but if Jiangdong falls, it can only be like this." Lu Su sighed.

After Sun Quan pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you, I'll send someone to do it quickly." ”

……

Three days later, quarrying fortresses in the river basin.

At noon, 1,500 Wei warships swept in from the upper reaches of the river, covering half of the river.

The battle flag covers the sky, like waves!

The clouds are rolling, and the momentum is mighty!

Su Zhe and Lu Meng stood side by side on the flagship, condescending, looking down at the quarrying river in front of them from a distance.

He looked around to the left and right, and countless of his own warships were fighting and killing.

In the enemy camp ahead, there were many flags, showing haste and panic.

Su Zhe could feel how panicked the Jiangdong soldiers in the enemy camp were at this moment.

Everything was as he had speculated, the Jiangdong Army, which had once traversed the Yangtze River, no longer dared to send half a boat out of the camp to fight him, so they could only let them form a formation on the river and put on an offensive posture.

Previously, Xizuo had sent back information that there were less than 30,000 enemy troops in Jiangdong that could fight, and Zhou Yu only brought nearly 10,000 people to guard the quarrying fortress.

The number of enemy troops is pitiful, and the morale is extremely low, Su Zhe still has nothing to scruple about, naturally he wants to roll head-on and take the quarry.

"Lu Ziming, you can attack." Su Zhe looked at Lu Meng.

"Then the general will not be talented, and he will be ugly in front of King Wei."

After Lu Meng bowed his hands and humbled himself, he raised his head, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Pass the order, order Jiang Qin to lead 10,000 sailors to attack from the northern flank, order Ling Cao to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack from the southern flank, Gan Ning is in the center, lead 10,000 sailors to break through head-on, attack in three directions, be sure to capture the enemy camp for me before dusk!" ”

The order was handed down, and the flag shook like the wind.

On the ships, the drums of war also sounded, breaking the tranquility of the river bank and sounding the horn of attack.

More than 1,000 Wei warships and more than 30,000 Wei soldiers, under the command of the three generals, approached the quarrying fortress from three sides.

In the quarrying fortress, Zhou Yu stood with his sword in his hand, his face was gloomy, and there was a tragic determination on his body.

He knew that today's battle was a matter of life and death in Jiangdong, and he had no choice but to fight to the death.

Seeing the Wei army attacking, Zhou Yu took a deep breath and shouted: "Pass my order, order Zhu Huan and Dong to attack the second general, give me the north and south wings, and those who take half a step back, behead!" ”

The messenger galloped away, giving orders to the second general.

Zhou Yu's eyes looked at the general in front of him again, and said solemnly: "Taishi Ziyi, the heavy responsibility of guarding the main camp will be handed over to you, can you afford this heavy responsibility!" ”

Ziyi, Donglai Tai Shi Ci!

As a native of Qingzhou, he was robbed of his home by Su Zhe and forced to go south to Sun Ce, and with his martial arts second only to Sun Ce, he became the first fierce general in Jiangdong.

Previously, he was originally sent to Lu Xun by Sun Ce to quell the Shanyue Rebellion, but at this point, the threat of the Shanyue people was no longer a threat, and Sun Quan could only transfer him to quarry to deal with Su Zhe, a great enemy.

Tai Shi Ci took a long halberd and said proudly: "Don't worry, with my Tai Shi Ci here, Su Thief doesn't want to set foot on my Jiangdong half a step!" ”

Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction, his confident and heroic eyes looked at the approaching Wei warship, and said proudly: "Su thief, with me Zhou Yu here, Jiangdong will not die, how much ability do you have, just let the horse come!" ”
