Lu Xun has been frowning under Yidu City for many days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
That's all because Shana has always kept in mind what Zhuge Song repeatedly told her before she returned to Wuling----- "No matter who the Wu army led the troops to, even if the Wu army camp was struck by lightning and suddenly caught fire, before I arrived, you must not lead the troops out of Yidu City!" ā
Of course, the reason why Shana, who didn't have a smile on Zhuge Song on weekdays, didn't directly laugh at this "madman" on the spot was that Zhuge Song added the next sentence with a solemn face after saying this: "Otherwise, whether it's me, Qing'er, or you, we all have to die!" ā
If it weren't for Zhuge Song, he not only designed to capture Shana and then captured Shamoke once, but also captured Shamoke once, and magically made Wu Jun, who was not going to leave Hanshou, obediently withdraw his troops. Shana would definitely directly refuse Zhuge Song's absurd request, instead of first promising to make a decision after discussing with Qing'er after returning to Wuling.
What Shana didn't expect was that Qing'er, who usually seemed weak, didn't have the slightest doubt about Zhuge Song's statement that Wu Jun would sneak attack Nanjun, and almost immediately found Xie Xian, who was ordered to temporarily take care of the county affairs after Zhuge Song left, to discuss the important matter of defending the city. In the face of Shana's question, Qing'er's sentence: "He is my husband, I trust him, even if it is not fulfilled, what is it to be busy for him once!" At the same time, Shana was greatly moved, and at the same time, she had to immediately order a thousand troops and take a thousand taels of gold to Yidu City, and act according to Zhuge Song's request.
When Jiang Xiaoyu appeared outside Yidu City on a white horse that had already been exhausted, Shana, who had received the report, was shocked after confirming that the Wu army had begun to act, and no longer doubted Zhuge Song's previous prediction, not only immediately began to speed up the preparation of the city defense, but also ordered someone to send a letter to the Wuxi barbarian tribe to ask Shamoke to send troops to help. As a result, there is also the fact that Lu Xun's teacher is unfavorable, and he is always unwilling to believe that Yidu City will be prepared early.
Lu Xun thought that he would easily take Yidu during this trip, so when he saw the archers and red-clothed female generals who had been waiting in the city for a long time under the city of Yidu, he was almost immediately a little confused.
Of course, as a celebrity who does have real materials. In addition to the accident, Lu Xun still ordered someone to call to the city to inform the city of the news that Nanjun had been occupied by Eastern Wu, intending to shake the defenders.
Unexpectedly, the defenders were unmoved when they heard the news, and they all looked like they had known about it a long time ago.
Lu Xun didn't know that Shana had already informed the whole city of this matter after Jiang Xiaoyu came to report the news, and on the grounds that he had already come here and made a lot of preparations, he told the people in the city that all this was expected by Kong Ming's military division, and only by holding on for a month, he would definitely be able to recover Jiangling again and turn defeat into victory.
Because Shana did come long before Lu Xun came, and Zhuge Song carefully thought about it in advance to let Shana use Kong Ming's name instead of Zhuge Song's, the military spirit quickly stabilized. When Wu Jun really arrived, it seemed that there were only about 5,000, and the city that had been prepared for a long time was even more fearless, which made Lu Xun's idea of fleeing in the city without a fight immediately come to naught.
Seeing that the soldiers in the city were unwavering, Lu Xun had no choice but to order someone to carry a ladder to try to attack the city to see how strong the city defense was. And he can only order like this, because this ladder is still what he took with him just in case he came, and large equipment such as siege vehicles, Lu Xun didn't bring anything because he thought it was bulky and affected his speed.
Not only was the siege equipment Lu Xun too heavy, but the infantry under him also did not have heavy shields, and only some of them had light bamboo shields. In the face of the archers in the city who did not care about saving arrows at all, the first siege of the Wu army did not even have time for half a pillar of incense, and the ladder had not yet reached the edge of the city, and the Wu army under the rain of arrows did not even want the ladder to retreat.
Because there are really no protective measures, in the face of the retreating Wu soldiers, Lu Xun really can't kill Liwei. However, the next problem he faced came again, that is, he lost even the ladder that could attack the city.
Although the non-standard ladder Lu Xun could also be ordered to cut down wood for days and days, the siege engine was not so easy to build, which required experienced craftsmen to draw drawings and various metal parts.
These lightly armed Lu Xun did not have, and he came out of Lu Meng but he had already boasted of Haikou, now Jiangling has been obtained by Eastern Wu, Guan Yu has already gone to the general trend, if he can't capture Yidu to make meritorious contributions here, Lu Xun, who has already secretly made up his mind to get a high position in Eastern Wu, is unacceptable no matter what.
So Lu Xun could only think of luring the enemy, at first he ordered people to scold under the city, and after learning that the female general in the city was Zhuge Song's princess who married from the barbarians, he made a big fuss about Shana being captured by Zhuge Song. Angry, Shana wanted to go out of the city for a decisive battle several times, but when she thought of Zhuge Song's previous advice, and Qing'er, as a weak woman, was likely to fall into the situation of being surrounded by the Wu army at this time, after kicking over the table where tea and pastries were placed a few times, Shana directly handed over the task of garrisoning the city tower to Jiang Xiaoyu, and took people to live next to Fan You's Taishou Mansion, so that Fan You, who had heard about the fall of Jiangling, would not escape.
Zhuge Song once said to Shana that even if Wu Jun's camp caught fire by itself, he would not be allowed to go out of the city, which was actually a metaphor, but Lu Xun really paid attention to this after several days of provocation to no avail.
In order to lure Shana out of the city, on a night when thunder and lightning were mixed and the rain had just begun to fall was not very heavy, Lu Xun was thinking hard in the tent, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, so he called his subordinates to immediately arrange, pretending that the camp was hit by lightning and caught fire, creating a scene of sudden chaos, and all the Wu troops in the camp shouted loudly after they lit the fire: "Oh no! There was a fire! I can't wait for all the enemy troops in Yidu City in the distance to hear it.
And when Shana got the express report from her subordinates and asked for war to take advantage of the situation to rush out, she was even more stunned, thinking that Zhuge Song could even expect this, and personally went to the city tower to look at the fire of the Wu military camp outside the city, but instead ordered someone to bring tea and snacks, just to see the excitement like watching a play, and strictly ordered anyone not to go out of the city.
In this way, Lu Xun's camp tossed for an hour, and then the rain became heavier, and the fire itself was extinguished. The ambush prepared for Shana was not used, but for the sake of truth, it really burned out the tents where some soldiers slept. When the rain rained heavily, the soldiers who did not have a tent could only squeeze into other tents, and they were miserable and complained.
Of course, even so, it was just a clue and a little embarrassed for Lu Xun. Lu Xun, who burned many camps to lure the enemy and still found nothing, didn't know that when he finally put down his subordinates and personally wrote a letter to send it to Lu Meng, asking for an additional team of 1,000 people who could transport a large number of siege equipment, the messenger he sent was surrounded and captured by dozens of barbarian cavalry when he passed near Yidao City in the process of leaving Wuzhai and heading to Jiangling!
At this time, in Yidao City, Shamoke became more relieved after reading Lu Xun's letter to Lu Meng. Shana's previous letter to him asked him to lead his army from Wuxi to occupy this place first, wait for Zhuge Song, and said that he must send more sentry cavalry to make sure that a large group of Wu troops has passed before occupying this city.
Yidao City is much smaller than Yidu City, the original garrison in the city is only 100 people, Lu Xun had the intention of taking Yidu in a battle when he passed through this place, and after the Guan Yu army in this place abandoned the city and fled when he saw the brigade of Wu soldiers, Lu Xun only left a hundred people stationed here, and the brigade went straight to Yidu and entered.
Therefore, when Shamoke arrived at this time with more than 10,000 men and horses, in the face of the tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers who suddenly appeared, the Wu army in the city even had the opportunity to abandon the city was cut off by Shamoke, who had already thought about not letting go of anyone. Hundreds of Wu troops were all taken prisoner.
Of course, this is also what Zhuge Song told Shana in advance to tell Shamoke to do this, just as Lu Xun, who was still waiting outside Yidu City at this time to wait for the siege weapons to be delivered, became a joke, the reason why Zhuge Song wanted Shamoke's strange army to occupy Yidao was to first cut off the connection between the Wu army attacking Yidu and Jiangling!
However, when Zhuge Song arrived at Yidao City with dozens of horsemen to meet with Shamoke, when he learned from the intercepted messenger that Wu was in charge of attacking Yidu this time was Lu Xun, although he had already achieved a more favorable form locally, Zhuge Song still frowned.
