Chapter 442: Lu Xun's Determination
"Knock knock", the war drums exploded, and in the evening when Lu Xun broke through, the always tepid Cao army's actions became fierce, and they began to attack the city from all directions, and the catapults slammed, smashing down one private house after another, and Lingyang City fell into a sea of fire; "The city is overstretched! Why did Lu Xun act without authorization and break through? The Cao army attacked Lingyang City in all directions, and there were only 60,000 troops in Lingyang City, which were scattered on the four city walls, and they were almost broken through the defense line by Cao's army several times and entered the city; Sun Quan himself went into battle to boost morale, and Lu Su encouraged a lot of people in the city to help defend together, which was enough to stabilize the situation, can Sun Quan not be angry in the face of such a situation? This is only the first wave of Cao's attack, so what about next?
"Don't be angry, lord!" , Taking advantage of the rest time when the Cao army's attack eased slightly, Lu Su grabbed Sun Quan and began to explain: "Lu Xun is doing this completely for us, defense, we can't hold for too long, sooner or later we will be consumed by the Cao army, we can only ease up if we occupy a certain initiative; Lu Xun's action this time is right, we have nothing left, we can only fight with our lives! Lord! Lu Xun's departure must be to cut off the grain route of the Cao army, as long as the supply of the Cao army is cut off, they will be self-defeating! This is your last chance!
If the Cao army is forced to withdraw, we can still retreat to Huiji and Jiaozhou, and escape to the Central Plains, there is still a glimmer of life, we must block the attack of the Cao army! Have to! I know Lu Xun, he will not stop the sneak attack on Cao's grain road just because Lingyang City is under siege, he will insist on his own ideas, this is also our last chance! ”
"Do we really have no chance of turning the tables around?" , Sun Quan asked expressionlessly in the face of Cao Jun's powerful offensive, Lu Su nodded, his face became even paler, and he suddenly coughed a few times, and a trace of blood flowed out; Sun Quan's numb face finally had an expression: "Zijing? What happened to you? Compared with others, in terms of trust, Sun Quan has always trusted this wise and foolish person more, and he seems to be very simple and generous
Whether it is Zhou Yu or the current Lu Meng and Lu Xun, it can be said that Sun Quan has never believed in them too much, except for Lu Su; Lu Su is more like an elder brother to him than Sun Ce, a person who only knows how to fight, and it was Lu Su who taught him single-handedly, and it was Lu Su who single-handedly stimulated his ambitions, made him have greater ideals, and embarked on a more magnificent life path; He is a generous and tolerant brother, and a mentor who is kind and persuasive, he is the most important person in Sun Quan's life, there is no one! This refers to the help in his career, neither Zhou Yu nor Lu Xun is comparable to him; Sun Quan's true feelings were revealed, too long of disguise, wearing a strong mask every day made him burst out this time, tears rolled around his eyes, and he stopped crying since he was sensible, even if he sent Jing Xiang at that time to exchange for his father's corpse, even if Sun Ce died
Lu Su's blue face barely squeezed out a smile: "The lord is worry-free, and the son is fine!" It's just that I've been a little tired lately, and it's fine! Nothing, nothing."
Lu Su said this sentence over and over again, intending to comfort Sun Quan, but Sun Quan didn't believe it, he could see it, he could finally see that Lu Su was sick, very sick, overworked, and overworked; "You are the emperor of the state of Wu! You are the backbone of all! How can you expose your weak side? Endure! Endure! Lu Su looked at Sun Quan, who was hazy with teary eyes like a child, and said seriously, but Sun Quan was even more sad; Hold it back! Lu Su yelled, but he began to cough non-stop, Sun Quan was shocked and stabilized his emotions, Lu Su looked at him: "You are the hope of the people of Wu and Jiangdong, and you are also the hope of the people in Lingyang City, hold on!" First bitter and then sweet! ”
"Kill ——!" , A violent roar spread far and wide, Cao Jun killed again, Sun Quan stood up, pulled out his sword, and shouted not to be outdone: "Kill——! A smile flashed in Lu Su's eyes, and he silently leaned against the wall, enduring the discomfort on his body; The ladder is elevated, the chariot is rolling, Cao Junant is attached, and the morale of the shield and knife is high! "Knock knock", every time the city car hit the city gate, it was so shocking, and the sound of the city gate making Wu Jun feel chilled; "Kill ——!" , Sun Quan roared angrily, and the sword waved and killed a Cao army who climbed the city wall, extremely brave, the Wu army was gradually encouraged, their emperors were so desperate, what reason did they have not to die?
"Sir! This is already the fourth offensive! We", Li Yu stood outside the city, squinting his eyes and watching motionlessly, he had been watching for several hours, Xiahoudun looked at Li Yu, whose attacks were constantly frustrated, and hesitated a little; "You're thinking about Lu Xun, aren't you? Why didn't he come back to help? Zhongda! Tell him! Li Yu tilted his head slightly, and Sima Yi, who was not far away, lowered his eyebrows and replied obediently: "Lu Xun is gambling, we are also gambling, everyone is racing against time!" ”
"What do you mean?" , Xiahou was stunned, he was already accustomed to not thinking about these twists and turns, he preferred someone to give advice, he led the troops to attack directly to hit the enemy's weak points, and tasted the taste of victory; Sima Yi glanced at Li Yu, and when he saw that Li Yu didn't say anything, he explained: "If Lu Xun doesn't come back, he is betting that we can't break through Lingyang City, if nothing else, he has already begun to attack our army's grain route, once we succeed, our army will naturally retreat if it loses supplies, they will win a chance to breathe, and the plan to destroy Wu will come to an end temporarily!"
But he broke through and also caused the reduction of the number of troops in the city, this is our chance, if we break through Lingyang City and kill Sun Quan at the same time as he successfully attacks the grain road, then everything he does is useless!
This is where we will be tested, if we fail to break through Lingyang City before Lu Xun successfully returns from the interception of the grain road, then we will retreat because of the grain and grass matter, on the contrary, we can turn the spearhead and eliminate the last force of the Wu State! ”
Xiahoudun took a breath of cool air and glanced at Li Yu, no wonder Li Yu was very angry when he learned that Lu Xun had broken through, originally as long as he built this Tucheng Eight Gate Array, he could kill Sun Quan little by little, but now he has to have a hard-fought battle because of the variables; If the Cao army fails, Sun Quan will surely resurge, and the next time I want to have such a good opportunity, it will be difficult, even if they can be eliminated, it will consume a lot of Wei's national strength, which is not conducive to the long-term development of Wei;
