It will take time for Lu Xun to return to the army, and Lu Meng is still attacking under Jiangling City at this time.

Wang Ji is not in a hurry, after such a long time of battle formation training, Wang Ji is not the little white who had no experience in battle formations at the beginning.

If you want to attack the city gate, then let you attack, as long as you delay the time, wait until the reinforcements are finished and the combat effectiveness is restored, that is, go out of the city to fight with you in the field, Wang Ji also feels that he has a chance of winning.

Now in Jiangling City, there are nearly 20,000 guards, and the generals also have Shi Bao, Deng Ai, Guan Xing, Zhou Tai and others.

Lu Meng felt that he had a chance to win, and similarly, Wang Ji felt that even if no reinforcements arrived in the future, he would have a chance to win.

In this way, the two sides are still fighting offensively and defensively under Gangneung City.

Three days later, Wang Ji sent Zhou Tai again, with the reinforcements that had been rested, out of the city to burn the rushing cars of the Jiangdong Army.

This time, Zhoutai, who had learned a lesson, did not love war at all, and after breaking up the front army of the Jiangdong Army, he could burn as much as he could, and before the Jiangdong soldiers surrounded him, he had quickly retreated to Gangneung City.

And the people who commanded the siege this time were Sun Huan and Sun Yu, and the two people's ability to control the battlefield was obviously not as comfortable as Lu Meng's.

Again, the combat strength of the defenders who went out of the city this time was also very high, almost instantly dispersed the protective front army of the rushing car, and the speed of retreat was also very fast, and they were not panicked at all, showing a fairly high degree of organization.

Not to mention that Sun Huan and Sun Yu couldn't help it, even Lu Meng frowned when he saw it. Did you misjudge the other day?!

Lu Meng was a little unconvinced, how could it be possible that all the soldiers of Liu Bei's group were elite, and even the combat effectiveness of the reinforcements sent was similar to the combat effectiveness of the elite Chinese army trained by himself?!

Therefore, the next day's attack, Lü Meng personally went to the front army to assist Sun Huan in commanding the battle, and this time, it was Guan Xing who led the troops out of the city and burned the rushing car.

I have to say that Lu Meng's command ability is indeed above Sun Huan, and he did close the formation in time and tried to surround Guan Xing, but although Guan Xing said that he liked literature, his military value was really not low.

In addition, after resting and recuperating, the reinforcements brought by Zhoutai also regained their combat effectiveness, and under the leadership of Guan Xing, they easily broke through the encirclement and retreated to Jiangling City.

This time, Lu Meng can't be lucky, the combat effectiveness of the Jiangling defenders is really not low.

Lu Meng suddenly felt that he couldn't turn his anger around.

Faced with such a situation, paying such a big price, whether he could break through Jiangling City after all, Lu Meng also began to become a little confused.

And at this time, Lu Xun finally rushed back from Yidu.

Lu Meng immediately summoned Lu Xun and discussed the current situation with Lu Xun.

And after Lu Xun listened to Lu Meng's story, he immediately frowned, and sure enough, as he thought, the combat effectiveness of those reinforcements was not low.

After careful consideration, there are nearly 20,000 fighters in Jiangling City whose combat strength is not lower than the elite of the ordinary Chinese army, and on the Jiangdong side, the Chinese army has suffered a lot of losses, and the Jiangdong generals have their own selfish intentions, and they are unwilling to attack the city with all their might.

At this time, I really can't hesitate to fight like this.

At this time, Lu Xun couldn't take care of the careful thoughts in his heart, and opened his mouth to persuade Lu Mengdao, "Jiangling is in trouble for a while, Xu Shu threatens the governor of our army, don't fall in love with war!" ”

Lu Xun was really kind to persuade him, and Lu Meng also understood.

But it's still that problem, such a retreat will put Jiangdong in danger.

"I know what he means." Lu Meng thought for a while, but still told Lu Xun bluntly, and said, "It's just that this time we have already broken with Liu Bei, if we can't occupy Nanjun and cut off Liu Bei's arm, I am afraid that we will suffer from it in the future." ”

When Lu Xun heard this, he was also silent for a long time, and Lu Xun also had to think about the pros and cons after this.

But in the end, Lu Xun still persuaded him, "Dudu, in the current situation, it is no longer feasible to cut off his arm, if I can't fight anymore, it will just waste money and food, and make the soldiers tired. If there is a mistake, how can we talk about the future?! ”

Lu Xun's meaning is also very clear, now attacking Jiangling, it is already a big loss, in case he still does not capture Jiangling in the end, but he has suffered heavy losses, when Liu Bei wants to retaliate, what will we use to resist Liu Bei's army?!

It is better to take advantage of the fact that the damage is acceptable now to withdraw the troops, establish a defensive line in Changsha and the area along the river, and stop continuing to stubbornly attack, so that the soldiers will die in vain.

Lu Meng knew that what Lu Xun said was reasonable, but the problem was that Lu Meng really couldn't figure it out so easily, and then retreat.

Everything about himself, whether it is personal life and death or honor, is pinned on this sneak attack on Jingzhou. Once the army is withdrawn, regardless of personal life and death, the reputation will be completely ruined.

Although acting in the name of the so-called edict of the Son of Heaven, this kind of thing can only deceive the uninformed low-level soldiers, and those who have a little knowledge know that Jiangdong is a sneak attack by betraying the alliance this time.

If Jingzhou is successfully occupied, then no one will say anything under the success and defeat of the king.

But if it is like now, if you withdraw from the army without gaining anything, you will only be ridiculed.

It doesn't matter if he Lu Meng is ridiculed, this kind of thing will even affect his lord and be laughed at by the world.

"Wait and wait, our army still has the strength to fight, and it is inevitable that there will be some retreats like this."

Lu Meng muttered like this, but even Lu Meng himself noticed it, and his muttering didn't have much confidence in it.

Lu Xun couldn't stand it anymore, he clasped his fists at Lu Meng, persuaded him with a big salute, and said, "The governor is deeply entrusted by the lord, and he puts the country first in everything. Please think twice!! ”

Lu Meng suddenly felt that the qi and blood in his chest began to surge again. Lao Tzu was reluctant to withdraw from the army in order to repay the lord's kindness and for the sake of the lord's reputation!!

But Lu Meng couldn't say these words, especially to Lu Xun, and he couldn't say it.

Even if the relationship between Lu Xun and Sun Quan is indeed very good, Lu Xun is a member of the Lu family in Jiangdong in the end.

These people from the Jiangdong family can't wait for the lord to be embarrassed, and they can't talk about this with these people.

Not to mention, Lu Meng felt that he couldn't get the breath in his chest out, and it was really uncomfortable to hold back.

Therefore, Lu Meng had to wave his hand to let Lu Xun temporarily retreat and think quietly by himself.

Lu Xun was very disappointed in this, Lu Meng did not agree to withdraw from the army now, thinking by himself, it is strange that he can think of the answer to retreat.

But the matter has come to this point, and Lu Xun doesn't have much to say, after all, the current Lu Xun's status and status are not to that extent, Lu Meng has to listen to him, and Lu Xun has no way.

Sure enough, when he saw Lu Meng again the next day, Lu Meng's face was still gloomy, but he didn't say a word about retreating, but continued to urge the Jiangdong soldiers to attack the city.

This time, not only did he urge the Chinese army to attack the city gate, but also unexpectedly sent the army to supervise the battle, and urged the private troops of the rest of the generals to strengthen the offensive on the city wall.

Lu Xun has nothing to say about this.

This Lu Meng has already given up all his things.

Let the Chinese army strengthen the offensive, the losses are big, and after Lü Meng goes back, it is a big deal to be scolded by Sun Quan, as long as Sun Quan continues to trust Lü Meng, Lü Meng can still occupy a place in Jiangdong.

But so unsympatheticly forced the Jiangdong generals to lose their private troops, and the generals did not dare to complain when they were on the battlefield, but after going back, Lu Meng's popularity and reputation in Jiangdong are estimated to be completely finished.

It's easy to say that Sun Quan is protecting him, but if Sun Quan doesn't protect him one day, then Lu Meng's fate can be imagined.

Of course, Lu Meng knew the consequences of doing this, but Lu Meng didn't care at all.

In other words, Lu Meng didn't think about the future.

After communicating with Lu Xun, Lu Meng actually knew that the best solution for his current situation was to retreat and arrange the defense line. But in this way, Jiangdong will fall into a passive situation, and Sun Quan will suffer considerable losses in reputation.

Therefore, Lu Meng thought about it for a night, and finally decided - at all costs, he must attack Gangneung City.

Only by breaking through Jiangling City and occupying Nanjun, so that he can defend himself according to Nanjun, can he take the strategic initiative and not be afraid of Liu Bei's future retaliation.

And with such a result, Sun Quan chose to attack his allies, so that he would be forgiven and not ridiculed.

As for how it will end in the future, Lu Meng has already thought about it for Sun Quan.

After occupying the South County and occupying the strategic initiative. He took the initiative to send an envoy to Liu Bei's group to sue for peace.

Let's just say that everything was his Lu Meng's unauthorized actions, and it was not Sun Quan's intention to let Sun Quan use his own head to calm the anger of Liu Bei's group.

At that time, Jiangdong occupied Nanjun and cooperated with the Yangtze River Naval Army, which was enough to defend against retaliation from Liu Beifang, plus took the initiative to sue for peace, giving Liu Bei enough face. Although Liu Bei lost a Nanjun, he didn't hurt his muscles and bones in the end, Xiangfan is still in Liu Bei's hands, and he should accept the Sun-Liu alliance again.

As for him, Lu Meng

Without the lord's attention and promotion, he Lu Meng is a low-level non-commissioned officer and general, how can he lead an army alone? !

Without the lord's persuasion and reuse, he Lu Meng is just a brave general, where did he come from to defend the party?!

The lord never treated him badly, but it was Lü Meng himself who proposed a wrong strategy and failed to complete this strategic concept, resulting in heavy casualties among the sergeants and soldiers, and damaging the reputation of the lord. For this alone, Lu Meng couldn't forgive himself.

Although Lu Meng is not a great Confucian, he also knows the truth of "the one who is a confidant dies for the lord", why not be a pity? !
