Chapter 431: Bombardment of Jianye

Zhou Yu lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Withdraw your troops!"

He said hoarsely.

"Governor!"

Lu Su is in a hurry!

"Don't say any more, Zijing!"

Zhou Yu's face turned pale and said with a wry smile,

"If I lose Jianye, if the lord has any three strengths and two shortcomings, what face do I have to go to see Bo Fu?"

Lu Su was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, so he had to nod his head.

……

A day ago.

Jianye City.

Although Huaxiong is menacing, there are still Zhang Liao and others in the direction of Xuzhou to the north of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Sun Quan did not send people and horses, but left Lu Meng and Lu Xun behind to be responsible for guarding Jianye.

Looking at the vast Yangtze River outside the city, Lu Xun only felt a biting chill.

He picked up his glass and took a sip of hot wine to dispel the chill from his body.

Then he smiled,

"Ziming (Lu Meng's trade name), what do you think about the Governor's battle against Huaxiong?"

Lu Meng frowned, and a wry smile appeared on his rough face,

"Brother Boyan (Lu Xun), I don't hide it, I think it's all ...... Not Huaxiong's opponent. ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Lu Xun was slightly stunned.

Lu Meng looked at the soldiers around him, lowered his voice and said,

"These words are a bit perverse, just go out of my mouth and into your ears, don't pass it on to others."

Seeing Lu Xun nodded, Lu Meng relieved himself and whispered,

"You think to yourself, now Huaxiong is sitting on Ji, Yan, You, And, Liang and other places, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the strength is strong!"

"The princes of the world, how many people can be his opponents?"

Lu Xun smiled disapprecitatively,

"How powerful Yuan Shao was back then, he was not defeated in the hands of Huaxiong. Maybe Hua Xiong will be like Yuan Shao. ”

"I don't think it's possible."

Lu Meng shook his head,

"Hua Xiong is different from Yuan Shao."

"He knows how to make good use of people, attaches importance to people's livelihood, and wins the hearts of the people."

"In my opinion, he must be the one who can unify the world!"

Seeing that Lu Meng admired Huaxiong so much, Lu Xun smiled,

"Forget it, there's no point in discussing this, it still depends on the battle situation on the governor's side."

As he spoke, he stood up, stretched his waist, and his gaze inadvertently fell on the river not far away.

In an instant, he was stunned.

"Ziming, lord...... Was there a decree that no boats were allowed to enter the river? ”

Lu Meng looked at him strangely and nodded,

"yes, what's wrong?"

"You tell me, that'...... Whose fleet is that? ”

Lu Xun trembled and stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.

Lu Meng looked in the direction he was pointing at, and instantly gasped.

I saw that on the Yangtze River in the distance, dozens of warships were coming towards Jianye City!

"Enemy ...... Enemy attack! ”

Lu Meng came back to his senses and shouted in a trembling voice.

Soon, the sound of gongs and drums sounded on the city walls!

……

Council Hall.

Sun Quan sat upright in the lobby, although his face was calm, but his eyes were a little flustered.

"Who of you knows how Huaxiong's fleet appeared on the river outside Jianye City?"

He asked, glaring at the crowd in the hall.

Zhang Zhao, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin and others looked at each other, and they couldn't say one, two, three.

Zhou Yu led an army of 100,000 to a stalemate with Hua Xiong, how could he let Hua Xiong's fleet come over?

"Wu Hou, why don't we take more precautions and send someone to Zhou Dudu to ask for clarification?"

Cao Cao suggested.

"What Cao Gong said makes sense, so I can only do it."

Sun Quan groaned slightly, looked at Lu Meng on the side,

"Ziming, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city now?"

"All of them add up to more than 40,000 people, but their combat power ......"

Lu Meng smiled bitterly, and stopped talking.

No one expected that Huaxiong's ship would appear on the Yangtze River outside Jianye City.

Therefore, almost all of Jiangdong's elite troops were taken away by Zhou Yu.

Most of the remaining soldiers and horses in the city are old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is acceptable to maintain law and order in the city.

If they are allowed to fight with Huaxiong's elite, I am afraid that it will be a fool's dream!

Hearing this, everyone was in a commotion, and their hearts were a little nervous.

"Why don't you transfer the governor back?"

Zhuge Jin suggested.

"No!" Lu Xun shook his head resolutely, "If that's the case, Huaxiong's army is advancing by land and water, how can we resist?" ”

"In my opinion, let's surrender to Huaxiong."

Zhang Zhao frowned.

Sun Quan glared at Zhang Zhao, and he was already scolding his mother in his heart.

Zhang Zhao on this dog day, how did he know about surrender every day?

Fortunately, Liu Bei on the side stood up and said softly,

"Before coming to the meeting, I had already seen Huaxiong's warship."

"His warship is not large, it can only hold about five hundred people."

"So that's a maximum of 10,000 people."

"Even if the army in Jianye City is empty, there are only 40,000 horses, and it is not something that he Huaxiong can capture."

Hearing his analysis, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xuande Gong's analysis is very reasonable!"

Sun Quan suddenly smiled,

"Ziming, Bo Yan, the matter of guarding the city wall will be handed over to you to be responsible."

"Yes!"

The two nodded heavily.

But at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a dull loud noise.

The rumbling sound, it sounded a little unreal.

"What's that sound?"

Sun Quan frowned.

At that moment, a eunuch ran in.

"My lord, no...... Oh no! ”

His face was pale,

"Jiangshan's fleet is ...... The walls are being bombarded with artillery! ”

Everyone was in an uproar!

Sun Quan got up and took the lead and walked outside.

In order to observe the situation on the river, Sun Quan ordered the construction of a watchtower in the city.

The watchtower is unattainable and is the tallest building in the entire Jianye City.

Standing at the top, you can see the Yangtze River outside the city.

Sun Quan took his ministers and hurried all the way to the top of the watchtower and looked towards the river.

I saw that on the Yangtze River, the warship flying the Huaxiong flag was horizontally hulling, and the artillery on the side was constantly bombarding the city wall!

Jianye City is surrounded by land on three sides and is adjacent to water on one side.

On weekdays, the maintenance and reinforcement of the city wall is carried out around the other three sides, ignoring the side adjacent to the water.

After all, Jiangdong has the best naval army in the world, and no one thought that someone would be able to attack from the river!

"Hit me hard, I can't stop for a moment!"

Gan Ning raised the big knife in his hand, and said in high spirits.

Since he left Shudi, he has never commanded the sailor again.

And today he has more than 20 warships in his hands, which adds up to hundreds of artillery pieces!

The sound of "booming" artillery fire came and went.

The heavy iron ball that shot out of the cannon chamber smashed heavily on the wall of Jianye City.

Lu Meng and Lu Xun, who were in charge of guarding the city wall, felt the vibration from under their feet, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes.

"We can't let them bombard anymore, we have to think of a way!"

Lu Meng said in a deep voice.
