Outside the city of Wuxi, Jinfan camp.

Wang Chong didn't know about the farce that happened in the south, Wei Yan's plan to seize Yuhang was burned back to his stomach by Lu Xun's fire in the middle of the road, but even if he knew, he didn't have the heart to send someone to reprimand Wei Yan for the time being, because his own side was also worried about how to break through Wuxi City.

Jinfan's operation was very smooth at first, the whole army advanced layer by layer, filled in several ravines in a row, and destroyed more than ten arrow towers, but when they faced the high slope that was temporarily built by the Jiangdong army's soil, the momentum of advance came to an abrupt halt in an instant.

This high slope is almost a rudimentary city wall, and the Jiangdong crossbowmen condescendingly fire arrows at them, occupying the absolute initiative.

Cao Cao also encountered such trouble in the battle of Guandu last year, but in the end he was able to solve it with a catapult.

The first thought that came to Wang Chong's mind at that time was also to use a thunderbolt to break the enemy, but the other party seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and within a radius of ten miles from Wuxi City, there were not a few boulders suitable for being used as 'cannonballs', and they had obviously been included in the city by the Jiangdong Army one step in advance.

The boulder is large and very heavy, it is quite labor-intensive to transport, and it often breaks after being used once, and cannot be reused, so Jinfan used to send troops, generally using local materials, but this time it ......

Jin Fan now needs to race against time, expanding the search range will inevitably take a lot of time, Wang Chong doesn't want to delay for so long, but if he launches a strong attack, he will have to lose at least one or two thousand troops, Wang Chong feels that the gains outweigh the losses. So he's been in a tangle.

Fortunately, Wang Chong was surrounded by two resourceful strategists who could solve his doubts, that is, Jia Xu and Lu Su.

I only heard Lu Su say: "Actually, the lord doesn't have to be in a hurry at all. If we didn't take Yuhang, it was doomed that our original plan could no longer be implemented smoothly, but to be honest, Su felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing for us Jinfan! ”

Wang Chong asked curiously: "Oh? What do you mean by Zijing's words? ”

Lu Su explained: "My lord, if we really break through Yuhang, we will completely trap Sun Quan in Wu County. The other party will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry and lead the army to fight with us, when the time comes. Even if we annihilate Sun Quan, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, on the contrary, if we leave a way back for the other party. What does the lord think Sun Quan will do? ”

Wang Chong said: "Since there is still a way out. Naturally, there is no need for him to fight to the death with us immediately! ”

"Exactly!" Lu Su said, "Yu Hang is still here, it is convenient to lead the army to retreat into Huiji, Sun Quan is not as rigid as Sun Ce, with his temperament, most of them will choose to temporarily avoid the edge of my Jinfan, and then, we will slowly devour each other's territory step by step." The morale of the upper and lower levels of Jiangdong will inevitably fall to the bottom with the retreat of troops again and again, until finally Sun Quan has no way to retreat. Even if you want to resist, I'm afraid you'll have no power to go back! ”

Jia Xu nodded, and agreed with a smile: "Zi Jing is reasonable, although this method takes a little longer, it is better than stability, and it can also greatly reduce the casualties of our army, which is really a good policy!" ”

"Do you boil frogs in warm water......" Wang Chong muttered in a low voice.

I have to say that Lu Su's suggestion is indeed very reasonable, but Wang Chong's only concern is Zhou Yu, the wisdom of the latter, it should not be difficult to see through their plan, in this way, things may not go as smoothly as they imagined, after all, there are many dreams at night.

Seeing Wang Chong's hesitation, Jia Xu couldn't help but ask, "The lord is worried that Zhou Gongjin will do bad things?" ”

"Wen He can actually tell the worries in my heart in one word, could it really be the roundworm in my stomach?" Wang Chong glanced at Jia Xu in surprise, and the whole person suddenly relaxed a lot, "Since Wen He asked such a question, there must be a solution, right?" ”

Jia Xu said calmly: "Lord, no matter how smart Zhou Gongjin is, he is never the lord of Jiangdong, even if he sees through our plan?" If Sun Quan insisted on retreating, he could only choose to submit! ”

Wang Chong's eyes lit up and asked, "What is Wenhe going to do?" ”

Jia Xu smiled meaningfully: "Lord, in fact, this is not the first time we have done this!" ”

Wang Chong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then quickly reacted and asked, "What does Wenhe mean...... Disinformation? ”

Jia Xu nodded and sneered: "Sun Quan is suspicious by nature, Zhou Yu is highly accomplished, and he must have been afraid of it in his heart, if we add another fierce material at this juncture and spread rumors that Zhou Yu wants to take the opportunity to seize power, it will be easy to separate these two!" ”

Wang Chong stroked his palms and smiled: "Wen He's plan is very clever, at that time, even if Sun Quan doesn't dare to do anything to Zhou Yu, he will be wary of it everywhere in his heart, and in the future, if Zhou Yu puts forward any suggestions, it is estimated that Sun Quan will not adopt them eight times out of ten!" ”

Then, the three of them discussed the details of this matter, and Wang Chong was no longer as eager to break through Wuxi as before.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

After expanding the search area, Jinfan really gained a lot, and within a few days, at least hundreds of suitable boulders were continuously sent into the barracks.

Although this amount is still a little small, Wang Chong does not intend to wait any longer.

The sixth year of Jian'an, May 3.

The sky was drizzling, dripping on the face cold, but it also made people's spirits exceptionally sober.

The deafening sound of drums resounded between heaven and earth, tens of thousands of troops lined up in the field, and after several days of silence, Jinfan finally decided to launch a strong attack on Wuxi.

In Wuxi City, Zhang Cheng held on to the female wall, looking at the Jinfan army outside the city with a solemn expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because he knew that Wuxi City was broken, maybe today.

In the past few days, Zhang Cheng has naturally noticed Jinfan's movements for a long time, so he has been tormented in his heart.

Wuxi has few soldiers, and rushing out of the city is equivalent to death, therefore, Zhang Cheng can only watch Jinfan actively prepare for the attack on Wuxi, but he can't do anything, this kind of inner torture is really difficult to describe in words.

Click......

More than ten large thunderbolts were slowly pushed to the front of the formation by the Jinfan soldiers, and as the boulders were installed, the entire city of Wuxi was suddenly shrouded in deep fear.

The power of the thunderbolt car, many Jiangdong soldiers have heard of it for a long time, just looking at the distance of the other party, they have a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts, after all, although they also have a stone-throwing car in the city, but the range is too close, it cannot threaten Jinfan at all, on the contrary, Jinfan's thunderbolt has taken them into the range.

In other words, they can only be beaten passively. (To be continued.) )
