Inside the city of Nanchang.

As Sun Ce's younger brother, Sun Benzhen guarded Yuzhang for eleven years

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the relationship in Jiangdong, Sun Ben also has a daughter, who is Cao Zhang's wife. In other words, Sun Ben and Cao Cao are actually in-laws.

At this moment, in the palace, Sun Ben's face was a little ugly.

Since he guarded Yuzhang, there has been no war. Because although Liu Biao is the pastor of Jingzhou, his rule in the four counties of Jingnan is not solid, and even part of Changsha County is controlled by Jiangdong.

And now, although Liu Qi was born.

The situation is completely different.

To solve the hidden danger of barbarianism, at least in the four counties of Jingnan, Liu Qi no longer has any worries.

This is also the reason why Liu Qi dared to send troops with great fanfare.

Sun Ben looked at the person beside him, who was Zhu Zhi, a famous general in Jiangdong, and the father of Zhu Ran, the future general of Eastern Wu.

"Junli, now that Jingzhou is attacking, and the soldiers and horses from both sides are rushing to my Yuzhang, how should we fight the enemy?"

Hearing Sun Ben's words, Zhu Zhi was not in a hurry:

"Taishou don't have to worry, although Jingzhou advances by land and water, as long as we stick to Nanchang, the enemy army will not dare to go deep into Jiangdong, and the lord will not be able to turn a blind eye when he knows the news here.

In Nanchang City, there are still soldiers, and the defense is more than enough, so please don't worry. ”

Since Zhu Zhi said this, Sun Ben could only nod.

In this tense atmosphere.

All the way to the soldiers and horses finally came to the outside of Nanchang City.

Huang Zhong, who set out from Changsha, did not delay along the way, and the goal of the army was Nanchang, where Yuzhang ruled.

As for Gan Ning, he has not yet arrived outside Nanchang City at this moment.

But its navy is already in battle at Poyang Lake.

Looking at the city tower in front of him, Huang Zhong looked quite calm, he was not in a hurry to attack, but sent people outside the city to persuade him to surrender, this is just a temptation, it can be the best, it doesn't work.

"Listen to the people in the city, now that my Jingzhou army is coming to the city, it is ordered to beg for thieves, and when you open the door and surrender at this moment, there is still a glimmer of life, otherwise there is a dead end."

Hearing the shouting outside the city, Sun Ben's face was a little ugly, but with Zhu Zhi here, he gave him some confidence.

Sun Ben said loudly:

"Tell them that the people of Jingzhou have violated my borders, and there is still a way to survive if they retreat at this moment, otherwise they will have no return!"

Outside the city, Huang Zhong heard this and didn't take it to heart.

The method of persuasion will not work.

Then there was only one war.

Looking at the generals on the left and right, Huang Zhonglang shouted:

"Nanchang City is stubbornly resisting, can anyone dare to lead troops to attack the city today?"

As soon as the words fell, someone stood up.

It was Wei Yan who took the initiative to ask for his life.

In the previous battle with Cao Cao, many generals were promoted for merit, but Wei Yan did not participate.

You must know that Wei Yan is extremely utilitarian, so let's not talk about missing the opportunity before. Now that Huang Zhong is fighting Jiangdong, of course he wants to find an opportunity to show it well.

Huang Zhong's eyes fell, and when he saw that it was Wei Yan who asked for battle, he said:

"Okay, since you took the initiative to ask for battle, the general will give the soldiers and horses and lead the troops to attack the city first. But Ben will have a word first, if the siege is not effective, Ben will Mingjin Ben should collect the troops. ”

Wei Yan hurriedly said yes.

"Don't worry, the general will naturally obey his fate!"

After the decision is made.

Huang Zhong did not delay, and immediately dispatched the elite.

and personally led his soldiers to help with bows and arrows.

In siege battles, the defenders can condescendingly shoot at the enemy, and the attackers can naturally shoot at the enemy.

It's just that condescending is an advantage.

I finally have a chance to play.

Wei Yan had no intention of fighting, so he led his troops to go first.

The drums of war rumbled.

The army is charging forward with a ladder.

On the castle tower.

Sun Ben's eyes were slightly condensed, the enemy's offensive was so urgent, he had never imagined. But Sun Ben also understood that he was Yuzhang Taishou, and he must not panic at this moment, so he said solemnly:

"Junli, please."

Zhu Zhi's face was also slightly solemn, and he replied:

"The last general obeys!"

Look at the killing outside

Jingzhou Army.

At this moment, the tower of Nanchang City is also full of soldiers.

This battle is inevitable.

Zhu Zhi also understands that the gap between the enemy and us is huge, so don't think about going out of the city to fight, just defend it.

"The enemy is attacking the city, preparing defensive equipment."

Soon, Zhu Zhi gave the order, and they were not idle these days, ready to defend.

Wei Yan took the lead.

Arrows struck him from above, but they didn't affect him.

"Charge! The city will be broken with Ben! ”

Wei Yan shouted loudly, his tone resolute.

The soldiers went forward.

Today's Jingzhou soldiers are very different from the past.

After fighting Cao Cao in Jingbei, they gained great experience and are now highly motivated.

This is the case with the army, if it wins first, it will naturally be like a rainbow of morale. If you lose first and then fight, your morale will already fall into the upper hand, and you may even collapse at the touch of a button.

The ladder was erected on the tower.

Wei Yan charged upwards, holding a shield to block the falling wood and stone arrows from above.

But if I want to move forward, I am met with many obstacles.

Siege warfare is not so simple today.

Either fully equipped, or piled up by numbers. If the defenders of Nanchang decide to defend, it will be really difficult for Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses to capture the city.

Huang Zhong looked at the city wall, the incomparably fierce battlefield.

He did not hesitate to order:

"Mingjin retreats!"

Hearing the sound of Mingjin, Wei Yan, who still wanted to continue to climb up, suddenly had a somewhat ugly face.

But thinking of what Huang Zhong said before leaving, he could only grit his teeth and lead the army to retreat, unwilling in his heart.

Rather, it was the defenders on the towers.

Seeing the enemy retreating, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Ben looked at Zhu Zhi and said:

"Junli, thanks to you this time!"

Zhu Zhi did not mean to relax:

"The enemy army is menacing, it is impossible to retreat easily, and we must not relax during this time, and we must be more vigilant."

Sun Ben was frightened before, because in his opinion, Cao Jun was so powerful, but he was still hindered by Jingzhou in Jingbei. It can be seen that the Jingzhou army has good combat strength, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

No matter what, Sun Ben has confidence in holding Nanchang.

Meantime.

Wei Yanxin was unwilling to return to the camp.

He was covered in blood, looked at Huang Zhong and said:

"General Huang, what do you mean by that?"

His eyes fell on Wei Yan, Huang Zhong nodded and said:

"Wen Chang fought bravely, and the general would have known about this, but the enemy army was well defended, and it was obvious that he had been prepared for it, and if it was attacked, our army would definitely suffer heavy losses."

Hearing this, Wei Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking a little puzzled, and asked puzzledly:

"Then how is General Huang going to break the city? You can't wait here, when the reinforcements from Jiangdong arrive. ”

The corners of Huang Zhong's mouth raised, and he said with a smile:

"Wen Chang doesn't need to be in a hurry, instead of making great efforts to attack Nanchang, it is better to wait for the arrival of Jiangdong reinforcements.

This matter has already been arranged by the military division. ”

Wei Yan was dazed when he heard it, not knowing what Huang Zhong wanted.

But he also saw it.

The siege is probably just a temptation.

Its purpose is not to siege the city.
