Entering November, the situation in the southeast finally ushered in a major turning point.

When Xie Yan was killed, Liu Yu, the general of Long Xiang, became the only reliance of the imperial court to stabilize the situation in the southeast.

Under the crisis of the situation, the imperial court had to issue an order for Liu Yu to take charge of the military power in the southeast.

Liu Yu also lived up to the expectations of the imperial court, not only withstanding the rebels' counterattack, but also recovering Shangyu, Juzhang, Yuyao and other counties in one fell swoop.

Unlike Liu Jiaozhi and Xie Yan, Liu Yu's mind has always remained calm, no matter how the Heavenly Master Dao lured the enemy deeper, he has always been unmoved.

After occupying the northeastern cities of Huiji, he began to carry out drastic reforms.

Due to the rampant Heavenly Master Dao, the local family and Haoqiang have long since disappeared.

So much so that Liu Yu successfully gained a foothold in less than half a month, and then he continued to fight steadily.

In order to prevent the rebels from coming to plunder, he mobilized all the soldiers and people, demolished the houses outside the city, moved all the people into the city, and carried out the clear of the wilderness.

At the same time, he also organized the people's forces to widen, heighten, and consolidate cities in various places.

With his outstanding military exploits, as well as extraordinary ability and strategy, Liu Yu won the sincere support of the civil and military generals and the people of the southeast.

Xie Hui, Suo Chengming, Xiang Jing, Meng Huaiyu, Tan Pingzhi, Meng Longfu, Liu Huaisu, Yu Qiujin, Zang Xi, Liu Daolin, Ding Yi, Zhao Lunzhi, Wei Yongzhi, Liu Zhong and other civil and military talents all came to vote.

All of a sudden, Liu Yu had a prosperous scene of ministers like rain and soldiers like clouds.

And Liu Yu is getting bigger and bigger, and he has undoubtedly become a confidant of the Heavenly Master.

While it is true that religion can deceive people, it is still a drop from the temptation of actual profit.

Liu Yu's actions in Juzhang and Yuyao have threatened the life and death of Heavenly Master Dao, so that Sun Tai can no longer sit idly by.

At the beginning of October, Sun Tai sent troops in Shanyin, with Sun En as the main general and Lu Xun as the deputy general, leading an army of 100,000 to attack Juzhang.

Heavenly Master Dao vowed to drive Liu Yu into the sea in order to recover the entire Huiji County.

In the face of the menacing Heavenly Master Dao, Liu Yu was unhurried, calm, and ready to meet the enemy.

……

On this day, as usual, Liu Yu personally led people to inspect the city defense.

Its tall figure is so eye-catching wherever it goes.

As a personal guard, the strong man Ding Yi followed closely behind Liu Yu and did not leave.

As the tour drew to a close, the west of the city was suddenly dusty.

Liu Yu raised his eyes and watched, only to see that 100,000 rebels were sweeping towards Juzhang.

Looking at the black suppression of the rebels outside the city, Liu Yu's face changed slightly.

"Ding Yi, go and inform everyone to prepare to meet the enemy."

Ding Yi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to inform the rest of the generals.

At this time, Sun En beat his horse and came to the city of Juzhang, and pointed his whip at Liu Yu in the city.

"Little Liu Yu, poor Dao is here with 100,000 troops, and the sentence is a small city, and it is difficult to hold on."

"If you resist, you will break the city in the future, and you will definitely lose your head." ”

"If you open the city and surrender, then Poor Dao will intercede with the Heavenly Master, not only let you live, but also protect you as the general of the Immortal Kingdom, how about it?"

In the face of Sun En's unashamed words, Liu Yu scoffed and disdained the other party at all.

Even if he went to join Huan Xuan's playboy, it would be impossible for him to give a hand to a bunch of magic sticks.

In Liu Yu's eyes, Sun Tai's uncle and nephew are undoubtedly the most hateful.

They take advantage of the ignorance of the people to achieve their own ambitions.

Sun En shouted for a long time, but did not see any response from the city, which made him annoyed and angry, and immediately ordered the army to attack the city.

In the face of the rebels swarming, the defenders of Juzhang did not panic.

Under the command of Liu Yu, they began to fight back in an orderly manner with bows and arrows, rolling logs, and rocks.

Soldiers were constantly being hit by arrows falling down ladders, and from time to time soldiers were hit by rolling logs and stones.

All of a sudden, the screams on the battlefield were endless.

Although the rebels numbered 100,000, there were less than 20,000 of them who were truly elite, and most of the rest were young men who were temporarily recruited.

It's not that Sun Tai despises Liu Yu, but that he can't draw more elites, because the rest of the elites have been taken to Lingnan by Xu Daofu.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Tai can only rely on numbers to deal with Liu Yu.

However, judging from the battlefield situation, the Heavenly Master Dao obviously underestimated Liu Yu.

Under the desperate counterattack of the defenders, those young men who were forcibly recruited were not opponents at all.

Soon after the battle, some of the rebels were frightened by the strength of the defenders and tried to turn and run back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they retreated a few steps, they were killed by the fanatical believers who were in charge of supervising the battle behind.

I saw those fanatical believers galloping back and forth with knives, constantly shouting and shouting, forcing the rebels to kill the wall again.

At the head of the city, when Liu Yu saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly sighed: What kind of siege is this? It's obviously forcing people to commit suicide!

But Sun En was vicious, and for him, he didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all, except for fanatical believers.

In addition, he is also self-aware, knowing that he is not as good as Liu Yu in terms of the art of war, strategy, martial arts, cavalry and archery.

However, siege warfare sometimes depends not only on strategy and tactics, but more often on the number of troops.

Now Sun En is desperately attacking the city regardless of casualties, precisely to use his own strong forces to consume the strength of the defenders.

When the defenders were exhausted and exhausted, he had an opportunity.

However, how can Liu Yu be so easy to deal with?

As early as a few days ago, Liu Yu had expected that the Heavenly Master Dao would attack in a big way, so he had made arrangements early.

Liu Yu himself led a small number of elites to sit in Juzhang and lure the main force of the rebels to attack.

The rest of the brigade was handed over to Liu Daolin, Tan Pingzhi, Gao Yazhi, Liu Jingxuan and other generals respectively, and they had already been ambushed on the periphery.

Just wait for the time to be ripe, ambush the troops everywhere, cooperate with the defenders in the city, and eliminate the invading rebels in one fell swoop.

Under Liu Yu's calm response, the rebels were bled in Juzhang.

100,000 rebels fought bloodily for several days, but they could not advance an inch.

For several days, the rebels attacked the city from all sides, and although it seemed to be huge, it had little effect.

Each time it turned into a brutal battle, and although occasionally a few rebels managed to jump onto the walls, they were quickly killed by the defenders.

Over the course of a few days, more than 10,000 rebels were killed, while less than 1,000 were killed or wounded by the defenders of the city.

After several days of this, the rebels finally could not hold out and had to hastily end the first wave of the offensive.

……

Sun En's defeat in the first battle, coupled with the heavy casualties of the sergeants, made him chagrined.

That night, after the camp was closed, he sat alone in the tent and drank alcohol.

Suddenly, Lu Xun opened the curtain and walked in from Shi Ran.

"Tsk! Lingxiu was really drinking. ”

"His grandmother's, it's really evil!"

"How can I touch Liu Yu, Lao Tzu will be tied." Sun En said in annoyance.

Lu Xun glanced at Sun En, and disdain flashed in his eyes.

He has always prided himself on being a literati, yearning for Xie An's kind of talking and laughing to break the enemy, and he looks down on Sun En's 'reckless man'.

But right now, he and Sun Ennai are grasshoppers on a rope, and they can't care about what to worry about with each other.

"Lingxiu is worried, there is a plan to break Liu Yu."

"What's your plan?"

"Since we can't attack the sentence head-on, we can take other ways."

"Tomorrow you just have to do this, and I'll make sure you'll be able to get the sentence."

"Hahaha, brother-in-law, you still have a set."

Thanks to Lu Xun's advice, Sun En's spirits were greatly boosted.

He swore with a fist hammer: "If you don't break the sentence, you won't give up." ”

……

The next day, the rebels again launched an onslaught on Juzhang.

Somehow, although the enemy's offensive looked no different than before, Liu Yu always felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Suo Chengming came to Liu Yu's side and reminded: "Lord, although the enemy can't attack the next sentence head-on, we have to be careful to beware of Sun En's secret evil. ”

"Thank you, sir, for reminding me, Yu Province can save it."

At that moment, Liu Yu ordered to go down and ordered the defenders to strengthen their vigilance and not give the enemy any chance to take advantage of it.

At noon, there was a new discovery, it turned out that the Heavenly Master Dao wanted to dig a tunnel to attack the city.

After breaking the enemy's treacherous plan, Liu Yu suddenly relieved himself and began to command his subordinates to counterattack.

In this way, there was more than half a month of attacking and defending, and Juzhang City always stood majestically and did not move.

On the contrary, the rebels of the Heavenly Master Dao were under the city, suffering heavy casualties, and their morale was becoming increasingly low.

With the failure of round after round of attacks, the corpses of the rebels under the city are piled up.

Standing under the city, Sun En and Lu Xun showed bitterness on their faces, thinking that with an army of 100,000, they could settle the sentence in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu was brave and good at fighting and full of wisdom, which made several attacks by the rebels come to naught.

In the end, Sun En had no good plan and had to discuss withdrawing from the army with Lu Xun.

"Liu Yu was well defended, and not only did Juzhang not take it, but many brothers died."

"With him guarding the sentence, we are afraid that we will not be able to attack it, and there is only one way to withdraw from the siege at present."

"Well, let's try to attack again tomorrow, and if we can't get the next sentence, it's not too late to withdraw our troops."
