Chapter Ninety-Three: The Last Strength of Wu County in the Bloody Battle of Wu County
Sun Quan had already rested for a day, and after eating in the fierce battle, he was even more energetic, and under the service of Cai Yan and Xiao Chun'er, he put on his armor and took advantage of the night to go out.
He knew that the next battle would be a decisive battle.
Wang Lang is now in a broken and sinking attitude, if he wants to fight to the death, the Huiji army has no way to escape, and he will definitely burst out of the terrifying combat effectiveness, plus his troops are stronger than himself, Sun Quan must be well prepared to have a chance to resist.
The remaining strength of the Jiangdong Army is too small, and all of them add up to less than 4,000, and it is a bit mysterious how to fight, and this battle is actually not optimistic.
"No matter what, Wu County can't fall, it must be carried!"
As Sun Quan walked, he raised his head, looked at the bright night under the starry sky, and breathed a long sigh of relief, and a firm determination appeared in his heart, and he walked out of the Sun family's mansion.
"Second brother!"
At the door of the Sun family's mansion, a tiger-headed young man, dressed in a dark robe and holding a silver spear, was waiting for Sun Quan, and when he saw Sun Quan coming out, he immediately leaned in.
"Uncle Bi?" Sun Quan heard the shout, looked up, looked at the young man in Xuanyi, his eyes moved, and asked, "In the middle of the night, you don't go to sleep, what are you doing here?" ”
Sun Yi, the word Shubi, the third child of the Sun family, is only eight years old this year, but he is more like Sun Ce, he has a high talent for martial arts since he was a child, and he has been practicing martial arts with Sun Ce since he was four years old.
"Second brother, I want to go to the battlefield with you!" Sun Yi held a spear, walked up, raised his childish face, looked firm, and said loudly.
"To the battlefield? Are you crazy? ”
Sun Quan was slightly stunned, his eyes stared at Sun Yi's handsome and somewhat serious face, I have to say that the Sun family's bloodline is good, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Yi are all good-looking, and they are definitely handsome schoolgrass-level teenagers in the twenty-first century.
"Second brother, the eldest brother can go to the battlefield with his father at the age of eight, and you can go to Luoyang with your father at the age of ten, my Sun Yi is eight years old this year, and now Wu County is in danger, and I, as a boy of the Sun family, will also have a share!" Sun Yi gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Quan, his bright eyes crossed with a touch of hope.
Sun Quan's face was solemn, he shook his head, and said: "Shubi, you are still young, going to the battlefield means that you will die or die, it's not a fun thing, when you grow up, you have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, now you go to sleep immediately, the sky is falling, the second brother is carrying it, you know!" ”
In this battle, even Sun Quan himself did not have the confidence that he could come down unharmed, and he did not dare to let Sun Yi go to the battlefield.
"Second brother, I've grown up, if you really fight, your martial arts are not as good as mine!" Sun Yi stiffened his neck and said unconvinced.
"Huh!" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, a little speechless, but what Sun Yi said was really not wrong, if it was a round of martial arts, Sun Quan might not be Sun Yi's opponent.
Sun Yi has practiced Sun Ce's Overlord Nine Turns since he was a child, with a solid foundation, a very strong physique, and a pistol technique is the essence of Sun Ce, Sun Quan didn't like to practice martial arts before, but he only began to practice swords and martial arts in the past few years, and he really can't compare to him.
However, Sun Quan is a person who has been killed on the battlefield, if it is a life-and-death fight, Sun Yi, this little Zhengtai, can let him kill directly in seconds with one move.
"Okay!"
Sun Quan looked at Sun Yi's very firm attitude, was silent for a while, thought about it, thought about it deeply, it didn't hurt to let him go to the battlefield to see, said that he couldn't stimulate morale, and said: "But when you arrive at the battlefield, you have to forget that you are the third son of the Sun family, abide by military regulations, listen to my command, and you must not mess around, otherwise I will punish you according to military law!" ”
"No!" Sun Yi saw that Sun Quan agreed, his little face was overjoyed, his eyes were shining, and he had long wanted to go to the battlefield like Sun Ce and Sun Quan, but he had never had a chance.
Sun Quan took Sun Yi's little tail, and in the night, under the protection of several guards carrying lanterns, came to the county guard's mansion.
At this time, the county guard mansion was brightly lit, and above the lobby, Zhang Zhao, Gao Dai, Zeng Tian, Sun Ben and other high-level officials had been waiting for a long time.
"Childe, third son!"
When everyone saw the two of them walk in, they all stood up and saluted respectfully.
"You don't need to be polite, now at the critical moment, every second counts, let's make a long story short!"
Sun Quan walked to the first place in the lobby and knelt down, Sun Yi participated in this kind of military meeting for the first time, a little excited, but also a little respectful, sitting next to Sun Quan, Sun Quan first looked at Zhang Zhao and asked: "Zhang Changshi, you first tell me, the reaction of those people in the city?" ”
Sun Quan is more worried that the siege battle in the past few days has been fought so fiercely, and the sound of drums is deafening, and it is inevitable that there will be some people in the city who do not trust the Sun family.
"Childe, let me tell you, yesterday someone heard that the city wall was lost, and there were indeed some riots."
Juncheng Gao Dai stood up gently, looked at Sun Quan, and analyzed in a low voice: "However, Lord Changshi directly killed the Bai family and those people who fornicated with the army, which can be regarded as a shock to them, and the city is still calm." ”
"It's been a long time!" Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao and said respectfully, if Zhang Zhao was not in the city these days, he would not be able to concentrate on the enemy.
"Childe, the county guard now has the support of several gentry families and the Gu family led by Zhang Chu's Zhang family, Wu County is now stable, but there are still some people who are in turmoil, if the enemy does not retreat within ten days, I am afraid that Zhao will not be able to suppress the turmoil in the city." Zhang Zhao hasn't slept well in the past few days, his face is tired, and he shows a lot of worry.
There are countless powerful families concentrated in Wu County, and the Sun family has been stationed for a short time, and the foundation in Wu County is too poor, and it has not completely gathered the hearts of the people, and some time ago it also made such a touch of killing chickens and monkeys, which will cause people to be disturbed at this critical time.
"I understand!"
Sun Quan nodded and said firmly: "Changshi, rest assured, within ten days, I will definitely end this battle." ”
This bloody battle has reached the time for a decisive battle, and the two sides will do their best to fight, and they will definitely not survive five days.
"Captain Zeng, how many soldiers do you have under your command now?" At this time, Sun Quan turned his head to look at Zeng Tian and asked.
"Childe, after a few days of fierce fighting, Captain Han was killed, and a certain commander also suffered heavy casualties, and now Captain Han's soldiers and horses are all under my command, and the total is only more than 1,600 people."
Zeng Tian's face was a little bitter, and he said, "Even if you add the young men who reinforced us last night with County Captain Sun, there are only more than 2,200 people under his command now. ”
Last night, the soldiers of Huiji County attacked wildly, the south city gate and the west city gate were in an emergency at the same time, the two thousand young men recruited these days, one thousand were rushed to the west city gate by Zhu Zhi, and one thousand were led by Sun Ben to reinforce the south city gate.
However, these young adults have only been training for two or three days, and they have never been on the battlefield at all, and in the face of such a brutal and fierce battle, they can only suffer heavy casualties.
"The West Gate only has a total of 1,000 troops."
Sun Quan's face was a little gloomy and ugly, he gritted his teeth, and said: "Adding up to a maximum of three thousand eight hundred troops, there are at least more than thirteen thousand troops in the face of the enemy, which is not enough!" ”
"But now those who can go up have already gone up, except for those powerful families in the city, there are no more troops, they will definitely not take out their own family disciples and private soldiers to defend the city for us at such a critical time." Zhang Zhao said in a low voice.
Jiangdong scholars, big families and magnates will raise private soldiers, and local heroes will also raise hundreds of customers.
"It doesn't work!"
Sun Quan knew that doing so was tantamount to angering those powerful families in the city, which could only backfire.
"Then what should I do, at this time, even if I continue to recruit young people, it will be too late, and these young people, sending them is equivalent to sending them to death, son, I can't send them."
Sun Ben's face was a little distorted, in the battle last night, more than half of the two thousand young men he personally recruited had already been lost, making him feel like an executioner in his heart.
"I know!"
Sun Quan understood Sun Ben's mood, sighed helplessly, and said: "But now we have too few troops in our hands, Wang Lang is breaking the cauldron and fighting to the death, once the attack is launched, it will be more fierce than any previous siege, with their strength, we can't stop it." ”
"Childe, maybe we still have a little strength!" Gao Dai said suddenly.
"Where?" Sun Quan was slightly stunned, then looked overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Tell me quickly, in today's situation, one more strength, one more guarantee for Wu County." ”
"In prison!"
Gao Dai pondered for a long time before he explained softly: "There are probably more than 1,000 prisoners in the prison in Wu County, and a few hundred of them are still death row prisoners, if they can be used, ......"
When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly, and they were a little indifferent.
"No, these people are all prisoners, unruly, if you release them and don't have to go to the battlefield, you can make Wu County chaotic." A soldier in charge of the prison in the county guard hurriedly objected, saying.
"Prisoners? Isn't it an opportunity, as for being unruly? ”
Sun Quan squinted his amber eyes, glanced at Xu Sheng, and said, "Wen Xiang, I don't know if there is anyone in the prison who can turn the sky over the sky for you?" ”
"Childe, don't worry, Sheng's long knife will tell them, what is unruly." The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth outlined a confident sneer.
"Okay, you should rest and rest, recuperate, you should stare at the city gate, be cautious, Wen Xiang, go, let's go to the prison to have a look." Sun Quan now has too few troops in his hands, and if he can get one point, it is one point, and the others can't take care of so much.
