Chapter 38: The Siege of the Wu Army.

That night, after Zhuge Song's soldiers attacked the southernmost village of the enemy, relying on the high morale and the empty timing of the enemy's wall, they effortlessly broke through another Wu village several miles away from it. Zhuge Song accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't want anything in the village, so he left after burning it.

When he returned to the predetermined place agreed with Zheng Liang, Zhuge Song returned to the first stockade he had broken and set fire to it, which was regarded as a complete blow to Wu Jun of the evil spirit he suffered in Changsha City.

When he came to the predetermined place, Zheng Liang, who had been waiting there, seemed a little unsatisfied. He told Zhuge Song that if he had another 3,500 sergeant under his command, he would definitely be able to set up an ambush on the way to retreat, and then kill Wu Bing and turn on his horse alone.

As the so-called south ship and north horse, Wu Jun is good at boating, there are countless large and small warships in the army, but the cavalry force is very weak, it is estimated that the whole army is difficult to make up 18,000 horses, and the east of Changsha is mostly mountainous and dense, it is difficult to use cavalry troops to pursue, which is why Zhuge Song dared to ask Zheng Liang to shoot rockets with only a hundred archers.

At this time, Zhuge Song saw that Zheng Liang didn't look very enjoyable, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, tonight we stabbed the hornet's nest, and Wu Jun was burned two more camps, and madness is certain." When they get angry and go to attack Changsha, are you afraid that you won't have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions? ”

Zheng Liang listened to Zhuge Song's words, and his eyes lit up again. The two Wu military camps that were burned by Zhuge Song in the distance were still burning brightly at this time, such a dark night, if the Wu army commander was smart, he would definitely not go to the rescue, how did he know how many people were under his guy tonight? If Zhuge Song had 6,000 men under him tonight instead of 600, if the enemy commander dared to rush to the rescue, Zhuge Song would definitely teach his rescuers to come and go!

But it's a pity that Zhuge Song's subordinates are really just these 600 soldiers, and because he was angry for a while, they didn't even bring some camping things, in order to prevent the Wu army from sneaking up, they didn't dare to light a fire to keep warm, fortunately it was still summer, otherwise they would have to freeze to death tonight.

Although the location of the troops at this time was only on a hill that could not be shorter, the deeper the night, the more the mountain wind hit. Zhuge Song and Zheng Liang watched the fire scene in the distance on the mountain for a while, and after arranging the guard posts in turn, they led the soldiers to find a leeward valley bottom between the hills, and simply leaned against the rocks of the mountain and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Zhuge Song was faced with the problem of how to solve breakfast. Although there were wild beasts in the forest, and they also had bows and arrows, it was not as simple as beating a deer or killing a wild boar to feed six hundred people.

After thinking about it, Zhuge Song decided to grab it. Last night, in order to prevent the Wu army from catching up with him, Zhuge Song only cared about setting fire, and he didn't expect to get food from the Wu army's stockade at all. According to his guess, Wu Jun suffered such a big loss last night, and as soon as it dawned today, he should be in a hurry to take revenge. Sure enough, when Zhuge Song commanded the sergeants to attack the third stockade south of the Wu army, there were only dozens of soldiers left behind in the village.

When interrogating the prisoners of war, they confirmed that the main commanders in charge of the eight camps in the east of Changsha were Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Jiao, the general of the conquest, and the deputy general Pan Zhang.

At this time, Zheng Liang suggested that Zhuge Song immediately burn this camp and take the opportunity to seize the main village of the Wu army, but Zhuge Song felt that the main village of the Wu army was surrounded by the rest of the remote villages, and once it could not be captured, it was easy to be in danger of being surrounded on all sides. Thinking about it, Sun Jiao was burned down last night, and the camp would definitely not be so easy to give up, and now Ma Liang can be said to be bitter and unspeakable. If Zhuge Song did not expect, since the two sides would definitely not be able to talk about each other, it would be a bloody fight.

I think that this Wu army is a layman in land warfare according to Kong Ming's words, and I think that Zhou Yu's victorious army under the command of Chibi has repeatedly attacked Nanjun. Now the number of Wu army is only a slight advantage compared with the old and weak soldiers in Changsha City, although the field battle can be won, but if it is a siege, the city defense strengthened by Ma Liang day and night is not a joke.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Song sent sentries to the surrounding realm on the one hand, and on the other hand, ordered the soldiers to use the grain, meat, fruits and vegetables in the village to step up cooking, until everyone was full, and then took away some tents that could be used for camping, and resisted a lot of food, so he let go of the Wu soldiers who were taken prisoner in the village, and set fire in this Wu village.

Thinking that Sun Jiao and Pan Zhang, two poor people, were attacking the city in full swing, and suddenly saw his stockade on fire again, Zhuge Song couldn't help but have fun while walking. The soldiers below were also in a good mood, and Zhuge Song didn't know how Changsha City was beaten, but since then, the sentinels sent reported to him every day, saying that the Wu army had never attacked Changsha City again, but shrank in its remaining five camps, and increased the intensity of patrolling around the camps, and it was difficult to approach Wu Zhai to observe.

Although there were tents and food, the conditions were not as good as those in the city. Zhuge Song's original intention was to provoke the Wu army to find some trouble in Changsha to relieve the sullenness in his heart, but later saw that the sneak attack was easy, so he repeated the old tricks, and even wanted to find an appropriate opportunity to burn down all the camps of the Wu army in several times.

Unexpectedly, this Sun Jiao suffered two losses and became honest, which made Zhuge Song have no chance. Zhuge Song thought about it and decided to go back to Changsha, although he was a little unruly without saying goodbye, but with the credit of burning Wu Zhai twice, he felt that he should be able to calm things down when he went back.

What Zhuge Song didn't expect was that when he led people close to Changsha City and was about to return to the city, the north of Changsha City suddenly became dusty, Zhuge Song didn't dare to be careless and ordered the sergeants to retreat, and found a hill to watch, only to see a big Zhou character on the handsome banner, and countless armies that were revealed from the dust one after another.

The Wu army began to camp less than two miles from the city gate with great fanfare, and soon, Sun Jiao and Pan Zhang's troops also came to converge, it seems that they left a considerable number of garrisons to defend the stockade in the mountains and forests, they only brought more than a thousand people with this trip, apparently they thought that Zhou Yu's army alone was enough to level the city of Changsha.

As far as Zhuge Song knew, Kong Ming's strategy for Zhou Yu every time was to scare him back and kill the enemy as a supplement, because he knew better than anyone else that if he killed one more Wu soldier now, his combat power against Cao Bing would be reduced by one point in the future. Therefore, Zhuge Song dared to be very sure and sure that Zhou Yu led no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses this time. Sure enough, it was so great that the camp was set up for a whole afternoon. It is a pity that Liu Beijun in Changsha City can only watch Wu Jun force the city to go down, and no man dares to lead troops out of the city to give Zhou Yu some color.

Of course, Zhuge Song can't deny that Zhou Yu's doing this may also have the meaning of luring the enemy, and God knows if rashly opening the city and rushing out will make Changsha unable to hold it for a day.

It's just that what makes Zhuge Song very strange is that normally, shouldn't Zhou Yu vomit blood and die after being seen through Kong Ming's strategy? How could you still come to attack Changsha with so many troops?

Zhuge Song is not Kong Ming, facing Zhou Yu, there is nearly a hundred times the military strength of his own, going to Guiyang for help seems to have become his only choice at this time.
