However, after losing the right to control water, Wu completely lost the initiative in the battle of Wuchang, although there is the backbone of the surrounding area, Wu Guoshang can still rely on the strong city to barely support, but if there is no reinforcements, the fall of Wuchang City is inevitable.

Of course, Zhou will not sit still, after Wuchang was besieged, he also asked for help from Lu Yun of Chaisang at the first time, Lu Yun also sent an army to Wuchang, but Liu Yin had already taken precautions for this, and while besieging Wuchang, he sent Fu Zhao to lead 10,000 cavalry to block the reinforcements of the Wu army in Xisai.

Encircling and reinforcing is often the Han army's forte, but this time Liu Yin put the main goal of the attack on Wuchang, and the men and horses sent to Xisai only served as the task of blocking reinforcements.

Despite this, Fu Yan still beat Wu Yanjun, who led his troops to rescue Wuchang, and fled back to Chaisang in embarrassment.

After the land rescue failed, Lu Yun still did not give up, and sent Chaisang's army to swim upstream from the waterway, trying to rescue Zhou from the waterway.

But now the balance of power of the Wu Han naval army has long been different from what it used to be, Yong'an, Xiling, Wuchang these water battles, the Wu army has suffered repeated defeats, and no longer has the strength to compete with the Ji Han naval army, although the Chaisang naval army is known as the second largest fleet in Eastern Wu, but under the strong suppression of the Han army's firepower, the chaisang naval army lost more than half, and fled east in embarrassment, and the plan to rescue Wuchang by water also failed.

Lu Yun is also helpless, it's not that he doesn't want to save Zhou, but he is really powerless, it doesn't matter if he can't fight the land war, the key is that the water war Wu Guo is not good now, according to the development of the situation, the destruction of the Wu State is only a matter of time.

Zhou is the governor of Wu's soldiers and horses, is the backbone of Wu's army, once he has any mistakes, Wu's army even the last leader has been lost, although Lu Yun served as the governor of Zhennan, but he himself understands that in the military, his strategy is far inferior to Zhou, Wu can do without their Lu brothers, but must not be without Zhou, Zhou, as the last general of Eastern Wu, his death will directly determine the final fate of Wu.

The cavalry itself is not too good at siege operations, coupled with the dispatch of 10,000 people to block reinforcements in Xisai, Liu Yin's attack on Wuchang is much more limited, although relying on the power of firearms to achieve an advantage in siege battles, but want to take Wuchang City, but some of the more than enough strength.

Wang Jun's navy also faced the same problem, he could be invincible in water warfare, but it was slightly inferior when attacking cities. So Liu Yin ordered to mobilize Wang Qi's men and horses to cross the river and participate in the siege of Wuchang.

After Wang Ji arrived in Jiangbei, he had no boat to cross the river, so he could only look forward to Jiangbei, but at this time, after Wang Jun's navy defeated Wuchang's navy and Chaisang navy one after another, it had completely mastered the water control power of the Yangtze River and provided help for Wang Ji's army to cross the river.

The Han army added 30,000 infantry, and the reinforcements of the Wu army were far away, and the situation in the whole Wuchang became more and more severe.

Xue Ying saw that the situation was critical, so she persuaded Zhou: "Dadu Governor, the reinforcements of the Shu people are increasing, and the offensive is getting stronger and stronger, Wuchang is probably unable to hold it, it is better to take advantage of the current military strength to fight a bloody road and have the hope of escaping, when the city is broken, I am afraid that I can't go." ”

Zhou glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "If you break through, do you plan to take the water route or the land route?" ”

Xue Ying was asked by him like this, but he was speechless and at a loss, he now felt that Wuchang must not be able to hold it, and there was no other way except to break through, but if he broke through, Xue Ying really didn't think of which way to go.

Zhou said slowly: "The warships of the Shu people are no match for the water route, and the war horses of the Shu people cannot escape by land, and after leaving Wuchang City, what else can we do with the Shu people?" ”

Xue Ying was speechless, indeed, the speed of the cavalry of the Han army was incomparable to that of their Wu people, once they lost the cover of the city, they would definitely become the prey pursued by the cavalry of the Han army, I am afraid that if they could not go to Chaisang, they would have been wiped out by the cavalry of the Han army.

And the waterway that has always made the Wu people proud has now become a nightmare, in front of the warships of the Han army, the Eastern Wu warships have completely lost the power of resistance, and the waterways are even more dead.

Now it seems that the city of Wuchang can't be defended, and it can't escape, so is it difficult to sit still and wait for death? Of course, Xue Ying still had a thought in her heart, but looking at the gloomy face around her, Xue Ying endured it, but in the end she didn't say it.

Zhou Chu didn't know what Xue Ying wanted to say, but sitting on the seat of the Metropolitan Governor, Zhou Chu had already cut off other thoughts, maybe others could think and do, but he couldn't, this is not only a matter of integrity, it is also related to the dignity of the entire Jiangdong people.

Zhou didn't give Xue Ying a chance to continue, he strode out of his residence and stepped up the city wall.

Today is the most fierce day of the Han army's offensive since the siege of the city, the number of troops invested, the fierceness of firepower, is several times that of the initial attack, obviously the Han army is also a little annoyed that the attack for many days can not take Wuchang City, desperate, launched an attack with all its might.

The head of Wuchang City fell into a sea of fire, and the pungent and choking smell of gunpowder was everywhere, and the whole city was full of the corpses of Wu soldiers, and because the battle was too fierce, these corpses were too late to clean up.

The Wu army is resisting stubbornly, perhaps they have already lost the confidence to hold on, and can only rely on inertia to hold on.

There was silence all around, this was the first time since the siege of the city that he had gone up to the city without speaking.

There was a commotion in front, and it was obvious that the siege troops of the Han army had broken through the defense line of the Wu army and attacked the city, and the Wu army could not resist the enemy and retreated one after another.

Only one person around him, continuing to take firm steps, carrying a ring-headed broadsword, rushed forward in great strides.

In an instant, the surrounding area was buried in the surging tide of soldiers, he picked up the big knife, with all the strength of his life, slashing and killing, the blood rushed to the sky, and the eyes almost became a red world, the surrounding area was covered with blood, and he didn't know if it was his own blood or the blood of the enemy, his mind was already blank, and all that was left was killing, killing continuously, until he finally fell......
