With a crisp explosion, a huge rock weighing hundreds of catties was thrown into the sky by a thunderbolt car, and then with a fierce wind, it fell towards Wuxi City in the distance like a meteorite......

Zhang Cheng was very self-aware and knew that the earthen walls outside the city could not withstand the bombardment of the thunderbolts, so he withdrew all his soldiers from the city one step earlier.

In fact, it was also true, after two rounds of continuous bombardment by thunderbolts, the earth wall, which was not very reliable in itself, finally collapsed in the shaking of the earth.

Watching the Jinfan army push the thunderbolt car slowly into it with a solemn gaze, Zhang Cheng took a deep breath, he knew that for Wuxi City, the real test of life and death had actually just begun.

"General, letter from the lord!"

At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran up from under the city and handed a letter to Zhang Cheng.

"A letter from the lord?" Zhang Cheng couldn't understand what Sun Quan was planning to do when he wrote at this time, but when he saw the content of the letter, the whole person suddenly felt a sense of relief, "Fortunately, the lord's letter came in time, if it was half an hour later, maybe it would not have any meaning!" ”

Zhang Cheng collected his mood and resolutely ordered: "Someone, pass on my general's order, the whole army squatted down, hid under the city wall, made the illusion of avoiding the thunderbolt car, and then secretly went down the city wall and returned to Wu County with me out of the south gate!" ”

That's right, what Sun Quan's letter wrote was nothing else, but just asked Zhang Cheng to abandon Wuxi and lead the army back to Wu County.

Wang Chong didn't know what was happening in Wuxi City, so Jinfan's attack was launched as always.

Huge boulders continued to bombard the city. Rubble splashed, and the sound of the crash almost drowned out everything.

However, after several rounds of attacks, Jia Xu, who went out with the army, was still keenly aware of the abnormality. stepped forward and reminded Wang Chong in his ear: "Lord, the situation is not right, can you temporarily let the Thunderbolt stop attacking?" ”

Wang Chong knew that Jia Xu would not be untargeted, so he nodded and waved his hand to stop the thunderbolt.

Quiet! Deathly silence!

As the thunderbolt stopped attacking, the entire battlefield was eerily silent.

At this moment, Wang Chong's face instantly became gloomy.

Thunderbolts are indiscriminate attacks. The lethality was extremely great, Wang Chong didn't think that the enemy could hide so well, and there was not even a single injured person. But right now, there was no screaming or screaming from the opposite city wall, how could this not make him suspicious?

"Summoned Wen Qian and asked him to lead his headquarters with 5,000 men and horses to launch a surprise attack. Climb the walls and see what's going on on the other side! ”

Lejin received the order. Immediately lead the troops.

A moat bridge was erected on the moat, and the Jinfan army quickly killed the city of Wuxi.

Le Jin took the lead, and was the first to climb the city wall along the ladder, but what greeted him was an empty space, and he couldn't even find a shadow of the Jiangdong Army on it.

While Le Jin sent someone to report the situation here to Wang Chong, he led the army down the city wall, opened the city gate and welcomed the army into the city.

"Did you run away?"

Wang Chong's face was extremely unkind. He didn't expect that he had been preparing for the attack on Wuxi City for so many days, and in the end it would end in such a way. This kind of taste is as if he hit a piece of cotton with a punch with all his might, and as a result, there is no force, but he chokes himself out of an internal injury.

"Ziyi, you should lead the cavalry battalion to pursue to the south, it is best to catch the enemy and break it up, but if there is no trace of the enemy within ten miles, you should decisively give up the pursuit and lead the troops back to Wuxi!"

In the previous confrontation, Wang Chong knew that Zhang Cheng had the means, and if he rashly chased too far, he was likely to be ambushed by the other party.

"No!" Tai Shi Ci received the order, and then led more than 2,000 cavalry to rush out of the south gate like a gust of wind.

Then, Wang Chong ordered Zhao Yun to take over the entire defense of Wuxi, and at the same time found Jia Xu and Lu Su to discuss countermeasures.

"Wenhe, Zijing, what do you two think of Zhang Cheng's sudden withdrawal of troops?"

Jia Xu and Lu Su glanced at each other, only to hear the latter say: "Lord, Wuxi is the last line of defense in the north of Wu County, since Sun Quan took the initiative to give up Wuxi, it means that he is no longer ready to defend Wu County!" ”

Wang Chong said thoughtfully: "What Zijing means is that Sun Quan has already decided to withdraw his troops and retreat south?" ”

Lu Su nodded and said, "Eight/nine is not far from ten!" ”

"So that's great news for us!" Wang Chong smiled, "Wu County, whether it is population or wealth, far surpasses Huiji, Sun Quan gives up Wu County, Jiangdong's national strength will be further reduced, even if we are difficult to break through Huiji for a while, they will no longer be able to pose much threat to our Jinfan in the future!" ”

Jia Xu also smiled and echoed: "The Lord is reasonable, it seems that our plan is going quite smoothly!" ”

Wang Chong nodded and smiled: "I think that Zhou Gongjin will be very depressed now!" ”

Wang Chong guessed correctly, Zhou Yu is indeed quite depressed at present.

As early as three days ago, Zhou Yu had already led the army back to Wu County, originally according to his meaning, he wanted to rely on the benefits of Wu County's fortified city to compete with Jinfan, after all, Wu County has Sun Quan, the lord of the town, and Jiangdong will inevitably unite as one, and the cohesion will be greatly increased, and Jinfan may not be able to take advantage of them in the confrontation with them.

But the day after Zhou Yu returned to Wu County, rumors spread in the city that Zhou Yu was trying to occupy the magpie's nest and subvert Sun's rule.

Zhou Yu guessed that this was Jinfan's discord plan for the first time, so he immediately found Sun Quan, explained his views to him and showed his loyalty, but all this in the eyes of the suspicious Sun Quan, but it became a manifestation of weakness, isn't there such a saying, explanation is cover-up, cover-up is the truth.

Sun Quan remained silent on the surface, saying that he completely trusted Zhou Yu and would not listen to rumors outside, but in fact, in his heart, his jealousy of Zhou Yu had already been so serious that it could not be worse.

So at the subsequent meeting, when Zhou Yu proposed to hold on to Wu County and fight to the death with Jinfan, and happened to disagree with Zhang Zhao, who proposed to retreat from Huiji, Sun Quan fell to Zhang Zhao's side without too much hesitation.

His reason is very simple, Jiangdong's national strength is far inferior to Jinfan, and fighting to the death with the other party is the way to death, on the contrary, if you retreat to Huiji and rely on Jiaozhou, you can rely on Liu Biao's assistance to form a confrontation with Jinfan, and when there are changes in the north in the future and Jinfan has no time to look south, they may not have no chance to recover the lost territory.

Zhou Yu argued with reason, but the general trend was not on his side, even if he broke his lips and tongue, he still did not make Sun Quan, who had made up his mind, change his mind. (To be continued.) )
