After the first day of defeat, Sun Quan listened to Zhang Hong's suggestion, built a barracks, built equipment, and settled for a few days. And the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Pengze City increased a little, and they prepared strategic materials under the command of Huo Jun.

On that day, the sky was slightly bright, the fog on the river was hazy, and the naval warships loomed from the dense fog. The oars of the boats cut through the river and broke the waves.

On the central flagship deck, a man in armor, handsome, erect, with deep eyes and a strategic heart. It stood in the wind, his sword in his hand, and his face groaned.

This person is General Jianwei Zhonglang, the Central Protector, known as Jiangdong Zhou Lang, Zhou Yu, the husband of Xiao Qiao.

"What does Gong Jin think?"

"Zijing!"

Zhou Yu looked for prestige, only to see Lu Su stretching his waist and walking out of the cabin, and said with a smile: "Can you sleep?" ”

Lu Su sighed helplessly and said, "What if you don't sleep?" Sun Huiji can't use me, and Gongjin won't let me go! ”

It was not too late for Lu Su to take refuge in Jiangdong, but it was very late for him to be reused. When Lu Su first entered Jiangdong, the monarch was still Sun Ce. Sun Ce admired Lu Su a lot, but he appreciated it and did not reuse Lu Su.

After Sun Ce died of illness, Lu Su returned to his hometown to prepare for the funeral on the grounds that his grandmother died of illness, and prepared to take refuge in Zheng Bao, who was entrenched in Chaohu. However, his mother was 'coincidentally' taken to Wu County by Zhou Yu, and Lu Su gave up the idea of taking refuge in Zheng Bao because his mother was in Wu County.

After Sun Quan ascended the throne, due to the unstable foundation, Lu Su recommended by Zhou Yu could still not be reused. Today, when the Jingzhou army entered the Kou, Zhou Yu took Lu Su to the battlefield together.

Zhou Yu was not embarrassed, and said with a proud smile: "Now Jingzhou is in the Kou, it is really the time for Zijing to show his ability." It would be a pity to leave now. As everyone knows, in the troubled times of the world, not only the king chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king. Now the lord is close to the virtuous and noble, and sits in the southeast. And Yu once heard of the secret matter, the one who inherited the sky on behalf of Liu will prosper in the southeast, isn't it just pointing to the Lord! ”

After a pause, Zhou Yu asked, "What does Zijing think about today's military affairs?" ”

Lu Su groaned a little and said: "Today is the situation of life and death in Jiangdong, Liu Bei and Liu Qi are dependent on Jingzhou, with abundant money and food. If Yuzhang is lost, Jiangdong will lose an arm, and Jingzhou will be like a tiger. At that time, Gongjin's wish will be disappointed! ”

Saying that, Lu Su sneered and said: "If you can break through Pengze City and lead the soldiers and horses into Yuzhang, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou will be able to retreat!" ”

Talents like Zhou Yu are particularly accurate in judging the situation. At the beginning of Sun Quan's succession, he chose to support Sun Quan and became the core minister. Then he also showed his ambition, and he often advised Lu Su and his guests with the air of an emperor in the southeast.

When Cao Cao asked for protons, Zhou Yu also made it clear and clear, taking Chu as an example, he believed that Sun Quan relied on the foundation of the six counties, cast mountains for copper, boiled the sea for salt, and used sailboats for horses, so he could compete with the north.

Zhou Yu's words like this really gave the young Sun Quan great confidence.

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "It's not a secret, Peng Zecheng is small, but there are capable people who stick to it." When the lord first arrived in the city, the enemy's arrogant strategy, Song Borang died in battle, Huang Gongfu died in the arrow, and the army's heart was defeated. ”

Hearing this, Lu Su's face also became solemn, and he asked, "It seems that Jingzhou's entry into the Kou is menacing, which is extraordinary." Can the sailor enter Peng Lize? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, and said: "Huang Zu insisted on the Tun Soldier and Sailor Yu Chaisang, but he didn't start. If our army's sailors want to enter the Yu Chapter, they can break the chai mulberry. ”

"What about Gongjin?" Lu Su asked.

Zhou Yu thought for a little and said: "Peng Zecheng has few soldiers, and there are many soldiers and horses in Chaisang. When it is easy and then difficult, our army is gathered here. Yu wants to attack Peng Ze first, if not, then go around the city to capture Chaisang. ”

In Zhou Yu's eyes, Peng Zecheng is small, with no more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and it is obviously better to attack than Chaisang, which was guarded by Huang Zu. At the same time, it is also dangerous to bypass Peng Ze to attack Chaisang, once the attack is unfavorable, Peng Zecheng may affect their food and grass supply.

"That's fine!" Lu Su said in response.

……

Peng Zecheng, Huo Jun and Huo Du were on the city tower, inspecting the city defense.

Huo Du's expression was relaxed, and he said: "In the past few days, the enemy has been timid and afraid to disturb, and we will wait for the city defense to be prepared." There are reserves of curtains, gold juice, rolling stones, wood, and arrows. ”

Compared with Huo Du, Huo Jun was not optimistic, squinting his eyes as if through the woods, he saw the 'Zhou' flag planted in the Jiangdong military camp.

Shaking his head, Huo Jun said: "How can the siege battle be so simple, if I see that the city tower of our army is not high, I will use a catapult to smash the siege tower with stone bullets, and then use a ladder to approach the city, and the ants will attack it." I use gold juice and rolling wood to retreat from the enemy, and the enemy will use ladder carts to approach the city, and then the gold juice and rolling wood will be useless. ”

If you say that you can use ordinary ladder ants to attack the city, you can still use a little gold juice and rolling wood. However, if you use ladder trucks to attack the city, it is difficult to use gold juice and rolling wood. Therefore, in order to crack the ladder truck siege, other methods must be used.

As he spoke, Huo Jun paced on the city tower, then marked five or six points, and said, "Brother, you and you ordered the soldiers to dig holes in the city wall, which can reach the size of logs, and this is used to crack the ladder truck." ”

"No!" Huo Du said in a deep voice.

The attendant walked up to the city in small steps, arched his hand and said, "General, the outside of the city has been marked. ”

"Good!"

Huo Jun looked out of the city, saw those eye-catching range markers, and nodded slightly. These days, Sun Quan's army is building fortifications and fortifications. Huo Jun ordered his subordinates to urgently build a batch of rudimentary manpower catapults, and mark them outside the city, and wait for the enemy to enter the shooting city, and the lookout can signal the stone carts in the city to be thrown.

Just when Huo Jun was observing the situation outside the city, he found that dozens of horsemen were walking far away around the city, obviously observing the defense of the city. Soon after, they rode to the mountains and watched the mountains.

Huo Jun put his hand on the cold hilt of the sword, squinted his eyes and said, "The enemy is about to attack!" ”

Huo Du restrained his expression and asked, "I'm afraid Fenglu is in danger!" ”

After the first day of fighting, Huo Jun and Zhao Yun moved their troops to the city, and Gao Xiang commanded 800 troops to garrison Haoshan.

"Hmm!"

Huo Jun groaned a little and said, "If the enemy enters me, he must first take the vast mountain." Haoshan is an outpost of our army, and it cannot be lost. Send 300 people out of Nancheng tonight and move to the mountain along the mountain road, led by Huo Yuan. ”

The southern city is close to the mountain and is built according to the vast mountain. In the past, the communication between the Haoshan camp and the city was connected through the south gate, which was very convenient. It is that the mountain road is winding, and it is inconvenient to march.

After a pause, Huo Jun asked, "How is the mandarin duck array drilling?" ”

"There is already a small success, and the Fenglu department is very proficient." Huo Du replied.

"Good!"

The dozens of horsemen in Huo Jun's eyes were Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Hong and others, and after the two armies converged, Sun Quan took Zhou Yu to observe the city defense.

Sun Quan drove his horse and asked, "Gong Jin, looking at the city defense today, I don't know what I have gained?" ”

Zhou Yu pondered for a long time and said: "Under the command of Qi Yu, Huo Jun is well arranged, the trenches outside the city and the thistles are all arranged, and there are also horse traps in the estimation, which is not easy to attack. However, Pengze City is built on the mountain, which is really a disadvantage. If you can capture the Haoshan camp, you can take advantage of the situation to attack it; Or look at the layout of the city, know the deployment of its men and horses, and help our army break the formation. ”

"Gong Jin's intention is to capture Haoshan tomorrow?"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly and said: "Pan Wenqi (Pan Zhang), who has more than 1,000 soldiers, is known for his bravery; Quan Zihuang was ordered by his father to lead the Danyang army and thousands of people to support. These two soldiers, good at the battle of the mountains, can order the two as the vanguard to capture the enemy camp in Haoshan. Our army can take advantage of the situation to attack the city tower and divide its forces to see if it can make some achievements. ”

"From Gongjin's words!"
