Chapter 782: Wu County Defensive Battle

Wu County. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะžะœ.

Today's Wu County, everything is running as usual.

In particular, Wu Guotai, Da Qiao, Sun Shao, and Sun Quan's wives and concubines were all sent to Wanling County, Danyang County, making Wu County even more unrestrained.

Zhang Zhao handles government affairs and responds to everything freely.

Moreover, with the assistance of Lu Ji, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others, there was no 'wave' at all.

After Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji and others returned to Shun, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and other original Wu officials also surrendered.

No one was loyal to Sun Quan.

I have to say that to some extent, this is also Sun Quan's sorrow.

Historically, there was a kind of surrender mentality among the civil officials of the Wu State.

During the Battle of Chibi, Cao 'Cao' led his troops south to Jingzhou, and the civil officials led by Zhang Zhao advocated surrender.

It was only Lu Su and Zhou Yu who fought the main battle, and Sun Quan also had to go to war, so there was a battle of Chibi.

Now that Sun Quan has gone to Wei and Wu County has been breached, who is willing to serve the Sun clan under such circumstances? No one is so stupid.

On this day, Zhang Zhao was handling government affairs in the office.

Suddenly, an 'attendant' rushed in.

The 'attendant' stood still in front of Zhang Zhao and said in a panic: "My lord, something is wrong. Ten miles north of Wu County, suddenly Wei soldiers appeared, and now they are killing towards Wu County. โ€

Ten miles away, it doesn't take much time.

If it is a rapid march, the time is shorter.

Zhang Zhao's face was 'pale', and his face also 'revealed' a dignified look.

If Wu County is attacked now, it will be difficult to hold it, which is an extremely dangerous thing.

Zhang Zhao stood up and paced back and forth in place.

The situation must be resisted for now.

Once retreated, Wu County was completely broken.

Wu County has a large amount of grain and money, which cannot be lost.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhao already had a plan in his heart, and directly ordered: "You immediately go to the Lu family, inform Lu Ji of the news, and ask Lu Ji to 'draw' the Lu family's 'private' soldiers and go directly to the north 'gate' city tower." โ€

"Whoa!"

The 'squire' received the order, turned around and left.

Zhang Zhao commanded again: "Come on!"

Suddenly, an 'attendant' walked in and bowed.

Zhang Zhao looked at the 'attendant' and ordered: "Arrange two people, one to go to Gu Yong, saying that there is an enemy attacking Wu County, and ask him to 'draw' the 'private' soldiers of the Gu family and go to the north 'gate' tower." Another person went to find Zhu Zhi and asked Zhu Zhi to 'draw' the Zhu family's 'private' soldiers to the north 'gate' tower. โ€

"Whoa!"

The 'attendant' responded, turned around and hurried away.

In today's Wu County, the main big families are the Zhang family, the Lu family, the Gu family, and the Zhu family.

The rest of the small families are of little use.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao did not have time to arrange.

Zhang Zhao immediately returned to Zhang's house, and then dispatched all the 'private' soldiers of Zhang's family and went straight to the north 'gate' tower.

In order to resist Wu County, Zhang Zhao also let go.

If you don't fight at this time, it will inevitably leave a bad impression in Liu Xiu's eyes.

So, Zhang Zhao had no choice.

There were 1,200 'private' soldiers of the Zhang family brought by Zhang Zhao, and among them, they also included the 'attendants' of the Zhang family, and they used all of them.

One by one, the 'private' soldiers were equipped with weapons and went up to the castle tower.

Soon after Zhang Zhao arrived, Lu Ji came with the Lu family's people.

Lu Ji brought more people than Zhang Zhao, with 1,800 'private' soldiers.

When Zhang Zhao learned about it, he was also quite surprised, and said: "Gongji, your Lu family does not show the mountains and does not 'dew' the water, there are 1,800 'private' soldiers, and the real person does not 'show' his appearance." โ€

Lu Jidao: "Gong Zhang is serious, isn't this for the foundation of King Chu, you have to go all out?"

Lu Xun is sure to be reused.

The future of the Lu family can already be predicted.

In such a situation, Lu Ji naturally would not drag Lu Xun back. How many people there are in the Lu family, how many people Lu Ji brings.

With the 'private' soldiers of the Zhang family and the Lu family, the number has reached as many as 3,000.

And the northern city itself was garrisoned by a thousand soldiers.

Counting it up, there are 4,000 soldiers.

Zhang Zhao was a little relieved in his heart, with this strength, he finally had some confidence.

Lu Ji asked, "Gong Zhang, how many people are there in the Wei army?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "No, all positions." It is less than ten miles away from Wu County, and we have only gotten the news. Tell me, how do you find out about the other party?"

"Alas......"

Lu Ji sighed, and his eyes were also quite worried.

The Zhang family and the Lu family's 'private' soldiers together have 3,000 people, but after all, they are the family's 'private' soldiers.

In terms of combat effectiveness, it is not as sharp as the real 'elite'.

Lu Ji smiled reluctantly, then said no more and waited quietly.

It didn't take long for Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi to come.

Both brought their own family 'private' soldiers.

Sun Quan is no longer in the state of Wu, and is already a prisoner of the state of Wei. Wu Guo is already in the past, and now that Wu County is in danger, they can't sit idly by, so they can only go one way to the dark.

Gu Yong walked up to the city tower, saw Zhang Zhao, and said, "Zhang Gong, I brought a thousand 'private' soldiers below." What the hell is going on?"

Zhu Zhi also walked up and said, "I brought eight hundred people below." โ€

"Good!"

Zhang Zhao stroked his palm and smiled.

With the 1,800 people of the Gu family and the Zhu family, Zhang Zhao has more confidence in the defense of Wu County.

Zhang Zhao doesn't need to stick to the end.

What Zhang Zhao wants to do is to temporarily hold Wu County.

Once Wu County is attacked, the news will come out soon, and it is impossible for Tai Shici to sit idly by after getting the news.

Zhang Zhao explained: "This official has just received news that a Wei army suddenly appeared in the north and is heading towards Wu County. It is only a few miles away from Wu County. โ€

After Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi heard this, their faces were a little dignified.

I didn't expect such a thing.

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly and said with relief: "Don't worry, we have nearly six thousand defenders. It should be no problem to drag on for three or five days. In three or five days, not to mention that Tai Shi Ci has already returned, once the king of Chu gets the news, he will be able to support Wu County. โ€

When Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi heard this, they both nodded.

"Knock!knock!!"

Suddenly, the sound of war drums sounded outside the city.

The drums of war kept coming.

As the drums of war became more and more 'excited', the black-pressed Wei soldiers appeared outside the city.

Wei soldiers arrived.

Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji, Gu Yong, and Zhu Zhi all saw the situation on the official road in the distance, and their hearts were raised.

Everyone's hearts were quite nervous.

Zhang Zhao ordered: "Prepare defensive equipment, prepare more thistle terrestris and fire oil." โ€

At this time, Zhang Zhao kept arranging defenders.

Although Zhu Zhi is a civil servant, he is also familiar with the art of war, he looked at Zhang Zhao and suggested: "Zhang Gong, you can't send all the soldiers to the scene at one time. โ€

"At the suggestion, divide the six thousand soldiers who had gathered into six groups. โ€

"A group of 1,000 soldiers, independent into an army. โ€

"After the Wei army launched an attack, we were sent up in groups to resist. โ€

"If one group can't hold on, send a second group of soldiers up to support. In this way, the remaining soldiers can be ensured. A swarm of soldiers was arranged, and once a certain place was breached, we had no soldiers to help. โ€

Zhu Zhi's eyes were worried, for fear that Zhang Zhaohu would 'messy' command.

At this time, to defend the city, there must be certain rules.

After listening to Zhu Zhi's words, Zhang Zhao immediately said: "Zhu Zhi, this battle is commanded by you, and the old man will assist you." โ€

Zhu Zhi was a little surprised when he heard this.

Zhang Zhaozheng said, "Don't you dare to take over the heavy responsibility?"

Zhu Zhi clasped his hands together and arched his hands: "Zhang Gong rest assured, he will live up to his trust." โ€

Zhang Zhao nodded, and then 'handed over' the command to Zhu Zhi and let Zhu Zhi arrange it.

Not to mention, Zhu Zhi is indeed more 'refined'. As soon as he made arrangements, the soldiers on the city tower quickly divided, and then each performed its own duties and was busy preparing for the next defense.
