437. Sun Ce's troubled situation

While Zhu Wei was jealous of Sun Ce, in fact, Sun Ce was also very jealous of Zhu Wei.

After all, Zhu Wei had defeated Sun Ce, and Zhu Wei's strength was even inferior to Sun Ce's at that time, but now Zhu Wei is in Yuzhang and Jingnan, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and it is no longer a powerful existence that Sun Ce can underestimate.

Now Sun Ce also took advantage of Zhu Wei's lack of time to look east, so he dared to raid Jiangdong and dare to use troops in Jiangdong, otherwise with Zhu Wei's army to aid Jiangdong, his troops would be meaningless.

Therefore, Sun Ce's formulation of the decapitation tactic of attacking Danyang City also wanted to capture Danyang in the shortest possible time before Zhu Wei reacted, so that Sun Ce could have a foundation to resist Zhu Wei's possible counterattack.

After all, it still takes time to deliver messages over the years.

In Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's original expectations, Zhu Wei's attack on Jingbei Nanjun and Nanyang County would be delayed for a month to a few months.

After all, Jingzhou Liu Biao can also be regarded as one of the major warlord forces today, and also has tens of thousands of troops, which is by no means an easy target to be solved.

Therefore, in Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's analysis, for at least a month or so, Zhu Wei will definitely not be able to send troops back to aid Jiangdong, so that they can have time to seize Jiangdong.

In addition, Sun Ce did have secret contact with Cao Cao, knowing that Cao Cao would also use troops in Nanyang County, so even if Zhu Wei defeated Liu Biao, he would be pinned down by Cao Cao's soldiers and horses in Jingbei, which would give them more time to run Jiangdong Danyang.

But they never expected that Zhu Wei would capture Xiangyang City so quickly, basically stabilize the situation in Jingbei, and then send Wang Yuyan to lead troops back to Jiangdong so quickly.

Especially after Wang Yuyan took control of the Niuzhu camp, Sun Ce received the news that Zhu Wei had sent troops to aid Jiangdong, which made Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also very surprised.

As Zhu Wei saw in the map of the Three Kingdoms game system, Sun Ce had indeed failed to capture Danyang City at this time.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu really didn't expect Zhu Wei to send reinforcements to Jiangdong so soon, and they didn't come to Danyang City at the first time, but went to occupy the Niuzhu camp.

This news made Sun Ce and Zhou Yu very headaches, they naturally knew the military strategic significance of the Niuzhu camp, and they were really unable to divide their troops to seize this armament base that hoarded a large number of weapons and food because of the lack of troops.

Then, they thought that it was impossible for Zhu Wei to send reinforcements so quickly, and maybe they would be able to easily take over this military base in the future, so they temporarily ignored the matter of capturing the Niuzhu camp.

But now that Zhu Wei's reinforcements suddenly appeared, they controlled the Niuzhu camp for the first time, which was for Zhu Wei's reinforcements to obtain the logistical material support for fighting in Jiangdong, but for Sun Ce, it was the foundation for losing the foundation for quickly improving the war heritage.

It's just that things have happened, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are also helpless, and there is no point in regretting it at all.

Therefore, on the one hand, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu could only divide their troops to guard against Zhu Wei's reinforcements to support Danyang City, and send people to find out the number of reinforcements sent by Zhu Wei this time, the generals who commanded the troops, and what the situation was on the Jingbei side.

On the other hand, it is to step up the offensive against Danyang City, speaking of which, the battle situation of Sun Ce's attack on Danyang City has indeed reached an extremely critical time.

Sun Ce also knew the importance of Danyang City and his urgency in time, so he didn't care about the forcible urging of human life to force the young and strong people who came to attack the city desperately.

The siege battle of Danyang City was very tragic.

In order to capture Danyang City in the shortest possible time, Sun Ce completely ignored the coercion of his reputation to drive away the ordinary people of the villages around Danyang City, and filled in the flesh and blood siege battle of Danyang City, so Sun Ce's side launched the siege battle almost day and night.

In this way, Sun Ce naturally could find an opportunity, and suddenly sent Sun Ce's elite soldiers trained in Guangling County, under the leadership of brave generals such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, etc., to hide among those ordinary young and strong people and wait for an opportunity to raid Danyang City.

In this way, several times he was almost attacked by Sun Ce's soldiers on the city wall, so that Liu Xuan's soldiers who guarded Danyang City did not dare to relax at all.

The so-called general Zhang Ying, who also lost Liu Xuan's subordinates, although his ability is ordinary, but the defense of the city is still rigorous, and at the same time, the force can be regarded as reaching the standard of more than 70 second-rate generals, so that Danyang City has been maintained to this day.

But Danyang City is also in danger.

Originally, more than 15,000 soldiers defending the city had already suffered most of the casualties, and Hua Xin could only recruit young men to defend the city in the city, but if these young and strong people encountered the surprise generals sent by Sun Ce, they would be completely unable to resist.

Therefore, it is not good to say that Sun Ce's surprise attack can capture the walls of Danyang City, and then enter Danyang City.

In addition, Liu Xuan, who was seriously ill, heard about the battle situation in Danyang City, and became even more seriously ill under his worries, and now he has almost lost consciousness several times, and may die of illness at any time.

In this way, whether it is the civil and military officials in Danyang City, or the ordinary soldiers guarding the city, young and strong, in the face of the strong siege of Sun Ce's army, they are also a little close to the psychological limit.

And Sun Ce, who has rich combat experience, can naturally feel this atmosphere, so he knows very well that the attack on Danyang City has reached a critical moment, and he must not be discouraged at this time, so all his previous efforts will be in vain.

Although the capture of Danyang City may not have much significance for Sun Ce's attack on Jiangdong, at least after capturing Danyang City, Sun Ce's army can obtain the material replenishment hoarded by Liu Xuan in Danyang City, so that they can have the opportunity to rely on Danyang City to face the counterattack of Zhu Wei's reinforcements.

Therefore, at this moment, Sun Ce strengthened the offensive against Danyang City, and he did not take into account the eight thousand elites he trained in Guangling County, and also threw them all into the siege of the city of attrition.

Sun Ce must break through Danyang City before Zhu Wei's reinforcements arrive.

At the same time, Zhou Yu led an army of more than 5,000 Sun Ce, which was composed of private soldiers of various ethnic groups, and also began to advance in the direction of Niuzhu Daying, trying to harass and block Zhu Wei's reinforcements to rescue Danyang City.

Even after Sun Ce captured Danyang City, Zhou Yu had to delay Sun Ce for some repair time in Danyang City.

However, before that, Zhou Yu had sent people to spread a lot of rumors, which roughly meant that Sun Ce had captured Danyang City and had captured Liu Miao alive, and now Sun Ce was reorganizing Danyang from Danyang and preparing to wipe out the remnants of Liu Xuan's army.

In addition, Zhou Yu fooled that after the destruction of Danyang City, the big clans of the Danyang Territory also threw themselves to Sun Ce, and now tens of thousands of new troops have been sent to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's army already has hundreds of thousands of people.

Anyway, Zhou Yu spread a lot of rumors in Danyang County, saying that Sun Cejun was strong, and Liu Miao had surrendered to Sun Ce or something......
