Another attack by the Koto Army was repulsed.

This time, there were also many casualties among the defenders and the people of Wancheng.

Looking out of the city, Lei Shu frowned.

His fists were clenched, and his face was solemn.

"General!" The lieutenant came to his side and whispered, "There are not many arrows left." ”

"Huh?" Lei Shu was stunned: "How many more." ”

"One or two thousand." The lieutenant said: "If the enemy still attacks the city like this, it will be gone in two days at most." ”

"How much stone and rolling wood are left?" Lei Shu asked.

"Not much." The lieutenant replied: "Some of the people have already begun to tear down their houses and carry stones to the city walls. ”

"Demolishing the house?" Lei Shu was stunned: "Where will they live in the future?" ”

"I asked too." The lieutenant said: "The people said that if Wancheng is lost, their lives will be gone, how can they take care of the house." ”

"You help me remember." Lei Shu said: "If you can repel the enemy army, let the soldiers help these people who have demolished their houses to rebuild their houses." If I die, you must tell Gongzi about these things, and say that I ask Gongzi to leave a home for the people. ”

The captain smiled indifferently: "I'm afraid the general has entrusted the wrong person." ”

"What? You won't? Lei Shu asked.

"Ken is Ken." The lieutenant said: "But I am ready to die, maybe I will die in front of the general, it may not be ......."

Hearing him say this, Lei Shu gently patted him on the shoulder: "You have been with me for a few years, from being under Yuan Shu at the beginning, to going up to Tianzhu Mountain, and then to now." I didn't expect that both of us were ready to die here. ”

"It's not that the general has surrendered to Childe." The captain said: "The son is not thin on us, before the Jiangdong Army came, the soldiers ate and drank well, and when was it not a happy day?" Since Childe has given us such a day, when it's time to use us, we can't shrink our heads and go back. ”

"That's right!" Lei Shu said: "If both of us died, Gongzi would not have watched the people be displaced, especially since they demolished their houses to help defend the city. ”

"The enemy is coming again." Looking out of the city, Lei Shu said: "Pass the order, the army will hold the city wall, and the enemy must not be allowed to step on half a step!" ”

"Order!" The lieutenant departed.

Before Zhou Tai returned to the barracks, Lü Meng had already led the Jiangdong Army to carry out no less than three sieges.

With Zhou Tai returned, there were hundreds of people living near Wancheng.

The people were tied to ropes like grasshoppers.

One by one, they bowed their heads, looking like they were about to die.

Coming to Sun Quan, Zhou Tai said: "Zhongmou, according to your wishes, I have arrested these people. ”

Glancing at the people who were captured by the Jiangdong army, Sun Quan said: "Take out a hundred people, give them wooden sticks, and let them walk in front of our army." ”

"Zhongmou really wants to do this?" Lu Meng said on the side: "If this is the case, I am afraid that the enemy army defending the city will be even more bitter against the enemy, and we will not be able to have the hearts of the people if we win Anhui City." ”

"Even if we don't, we can have the hearts and minds of the people?" Sun Quan said: "If I break through Anhui City, I will definitely have a river of blood here, so that people from other places can give me a good look, and the fate of our Jiangdong enemy." ”

Riding a horse and coming to those people, Sun Quan looked around at them and said, "I know that you are all thinking about when Cao Zirong will be able to come over. I can only tell you, don't think about it anymore, Cao Zirong is here, and I will let him leave no armor. He can't save you at all! ”

The people who were captured by Zhou Tai showed their indignation one by one, and several of them spat on the ground.

"There is only one way for you to live." Sun Quan said: "Persuade those who defend the city to put down their weapons and sacrifice Wancheng." ”

"You're dreaming!" A voice came from among the captured people: "Let's turn our backs on our son, we will never be able to do it." Even if we die, we will never be the dogs of Koto! ”

It can be seen from the sound that Sun Quan saw that the person shouting was an old man about fifty or sixty years old.

He commanded the guards: "Bring it out!" ”

The two guards stepped forward, untied the ropes that bound the old man, and dragged him to Sun Quan.

When the old man was taken away from the ranks, there was a commotion among the people.

A few young people even took a step forward and asked aloud, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I know you're not afraid of death." Sun Quan said: "But I'm curious, how far you are not afraid of dying." Cao Zirong can't give you some benefits, do you really have to defend him even if you don't want your life? ”

"Phew!" The old man spat and scolded: "The son is frank and honest, and he is an honest gentleman. What kind of thing are you that you dare to mention Childe? ”

"Old thing, I'll let you know what I am today!" Sun Quan glared, pulled out his long sword, and resigned vigorously to the old man's heart.

The old man was stabbed by the long sword, and his body shook slightly.

He held the long sword in both hands, and his eyes were still staring at Sun Quan with anger.

When the old man fell, the captured people were silent for a moment, and then they became chaotic.

Some people even rushed to Sun Quan's side.

"What are you doing? Don't want to live anymore? Seeing that the people were going to be chaotic, Sun Quan shouted loudly.

A group of Jiangdong soldiers immediately stepped forward, picked up their weapons and pointed at the people who were tied up in long strings.

"I'm not a murderer either." Sun Quan said: "If you want to live, don't mess with me." ”

"Pick a hundred men, give them sticks, and let them go ahead of the siege." Sun Quan said to Lu Meng.

Although Lu Meng was a little hesitant, Sun Quan was the main general of this expedition after all.

He instructed the soldiers: "Pick a hundred men and distribute sticks." ”

The soldiers picked out a hundred people from the crowd and escorted them out.

The hundred people who were selected looked at Sun Quan with anger on their faces.

was stared at by them, but Sun Quan was not weak at all.

Riding on horseback, he watched as the Jiangdong army stuffed wooden sticks into the hands of those people.

"Siege!" After the wooden sticks were distributed, Sun Quan waved his hand and gave an order.

Dozens of Jiangdong soldiers held long lances and forced the people forward.

More Jiangdong troops followed them, lining up in a phalanx and approaching the city wall step by step.

At the head of the city, Lei Shu saw this scene and frowned tightly.

If you don't release the arrows, once those people land in the city, the Jiangdong army will definitely follow closely, and Wancheng will be in danger.

If the arrows were fired, the first of them would be the people who were shot by the arrows......

"General, what should I do?" The captain ran to Lei Shu, pointed to the outside of the city and said, "Sun Quan's guy is too shameless, he can't attack the city, and he actually used such a trick." ”

Lei Shu clenched his fists and did not say a word, and the enemy troops and the people who were escorted outside the city approached the city wall step by step.
