Cao Shuo led the elite of the four battalions to leave Shouchun.

Ji Ling led 5,000 soldiers to follow him only five or six miles away.

was marching in the direction of Anhui City, and a fire dance horse rushed from the front.

Coming to Cao Shuo, Huo Wu reined in his horse, hugged his fists and said: "Prince Qiyu, Sun Quan has launched an attack, and the defenders of Anhui City have fought extremely hard, and even the people have gone up to the city wall. ”

"All the people have gone up to the wall?" Cao Shuo asked, "How many days can they hold out?" ”

"Sun Quan led the elite of Jiangdong, and our army only defended the city by local garrisons." Huo Wu said: "The casualties on both sides are not small, and it is estimated that there should be no problem in holding it for a month or two." ”

He waved his hand and motioned for Fire Dance to step back.

Cao Shuo said to Wei Yan and the others on the side: "Sun Quan is in a hurry to break through Anhui City, the closer we get to there, the more fierce his attack will be. said that it could be kept for a month or two, but in my opinion, if it could be kept for half a month, it would be considered good. ”

"Half a month, with the current speed of our army, it should have only been there for a short time." Wei Yan said: "Why don't I take the Flying Bear Battalion to help first......

"Although the Flying Bear Battalion has horses, it is still mainly engaged in foot combat." Chen Zhi said: "It's best to take the dragon pattern ride first." ”

"What General Chen said is inappropriate." Wei Yan said: "The Flying Bear Camp can fight on the horse, and it can also fight when dismounted. The dragon pattern rider can only fight on horseback, even if he goes, what else can he do besides attack? What's more, there are a large number of people in our Flying Bear Battalion, and our visit is also to give some encouragement to the soldiers and civilians of Wancheng. ”

"Lots of people?" Chen Zhi smiled: "It's only six hundred!" ”

"It's much better than only three hundred dragon riders." Wei Yan was-for-tat.

Chen Zhi wanted to say more, but Cao Shuo interrupted them: "Neither of you is allowed to go first." ”

When Cao Shuo vetoed the statement of the two, Ju Yi and Gao Shun's eyes lit up.

But they didn't wait for Cao Shuo's order.

Cao Shuo just pointed forward and said to everyone: "Pass the order to go down and let the soldiers speed up their march, it originally took fifteen days to travel, and we will strive to complete it in ten days." ”

Cao Shuo led his troops to aid Anhui City.

At this time, on the wall of Anhui City, the soldiers guarding the city watched vigilantly outside the city one by one.

At the foot of the city wall, there are many corpses of the Jiangdong army.

There was another battle, with some casualties on both sides.

A handful of Jiangdong troops were collecting corpses outside the city, and some Cao troops were helping to carry the wounded and killed off the walls.

In addition to the defenders of the city, the civilians who came to assist in the defense also suffered some losses.

A Cao Jun glanced back.

Seeing the two companions carrying the corpse of a woman with an arrow stuck in her chest, she gently stabbed the companion on the side.

His companion looked at him, but his face was full of doubt, although he didn't ask.

"What a pity." looked at Cao Jun behind him and said, "If you don't die, I don't know whose bed you will be in after this battle." ”

"It's a war, what's on your mind?" The companion pushed his head: "Put away the things in your retreat first, and deal with the enemy with your heart." If you die in battle, you can't do anything to 10,000 women stripped naked and lying next to you. ”

"Ten thousand?" Cao Jun, who spoke first, pursed his lips: "It's too much, I can't use it up, ten will be enough." ”

"Shameless to die!" His companion smiled, "It's up to you to think of that kind of thing in a war." ”

Although the soldiers were still very relaxed, Lei Shu did not dare to be careless.

Once under Yuan Shu, he also fought a lot of battles, and later led some people to gather in the mountains and forests to become a strongman, and he also has a very keen sense of smell on the battlefield.

The Jiangdong Army had launched several attacks, although each time it would be pushed back by the soldiers and civilians of Anhui.

But Lei Shu knew very well that with the strength of the army and people defending the city, as long as the Anhui city was broken by the Jiangdong army, the city defense would be torn apart.

At that time, the Jiangdong army will pour into the city like a tidal wave.

The people of Anhui City assisted the army to defend the city, and after the city was broken, Sun Quan would definitely slaughter the city to other local people who dared to cooperate to defend the city, so as to play a deterrent role.

Wancheng must not be lost!

Lei Shu has such a belief in his heart.

Outside the city, Sun Quan's mood was not much lighter than Lei Shu's.

It has been four or five days of siege.

Except for the hundred and ten corpses thrown at the foot of the city wall every day, the Jiangdong Army seems to have achieved nothing.

Exploring the Malay report, Cao Shuo's soldiers and horses were already very close to Anhui City.

In five or six days at most, they will be able to get here.

Once Cao Shuo came, the attack on Anhui City would become a bubble.

"Zhongmou." Zhou Tai came to his side and said to him: "Cao Zirong is about to come, if he can't break through Wancheng again, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"What is General Zhou's method?" Sun Quan asked.

"There's nothing I can do." Zhou Tai said: "I'm just wondering if the people who live outside the city will have anything to do with the defenders and people in the city......

Looking at Zhou Tai, Sun Quan asked, "What does General Zhou mean ......?"

"Send troops to find them, and if there are any who haven't escaped, arrest them all." Zhou Tai said: "Let the common people take the lead, and the Cao army defending the city will probably not dare to resist as tenaciously as before." ”

"It's a way." Sun Quan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "If you break through Anhui City, the general will be the first to work." ”

"This method is also a last resort." Zhou Tai said: "Even if I break through Anhui City, I don't dare to take this first credit." ”

"If the general's plan is useful, of course the head merit should be received." Sun Quan said: "Go to the neighborhood to search for residents and leave it to the general." ”

Zhou Tai arched his hand and turned to leave.

Looking at Anhui City, Sun Quan said to Lü Meng: "General Lü still has to step up the siege of the city, and he can't give the defenders a chance to breathe. ”

"The enemy army is tired, and our army is also sleepy." Lu Meng said: "If you don't let the soldiers rest for a while, I'm afraid of ......."

"If Cao Zirong doesn't come, forget it, he's only five or six days away from here." Sun Quan said: "The enemy army can afford to wait, but we can't afford to wait. ”

"I see." Knowing that after Cao Shuo came, it would be impossible for Wancheng to have a chance to break through, so Lu Meng responded with a fist.

It didn't take long for another siege to begin.

The Jiangdong army rushed to the city wall like a tide, and on the top of the city, the arrows shot by the soldiers of the Cao army were like locusts covering the sky and the sun during the locust plague.

The Jiangdong army in the charge fell one by one, and the Jiangdong army that did not fall still held a shield and ran wildly towards the city wall.

Ladders were erected on the city walls.

The Jiangdong army struggled to climb, and the Cao army at the head of the city and the people who coordinated the defense lifted large stones and threw them hard.

It didn't take long for the corpses of the Jiangdong Army to be blurred at the foot of the city wall.

The defenders and civilians on the city wall also suffered some losses, but with the cover of the city wall, they were much less than the Jiangdong army.
