Zhou Yu saw that Lu Yi had adopted his own strategy, so he didn't say anything more, and turned around and left.

Zhang Hong and the others looked at each other.

Lu Yi said: "Leave him alone, let's go our own way!" ”

Everyone responded in unison.

After Huang Gai left Shu County with 5,000 soldiers and went to Shiting Road to arrange an ambush army, at noon that day, when Lu Yi was having dinner with Sun Ren, Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Zhu Ran, Zhou Fang and others, a soldier rushed in from outside, panting and said: "General Cheng Lao came to report that Ji Ling's army is less than twenty miles away!" ”

"The number of enemy troops is not only 30,000, but probably around 40,000!"

The soldier's words made Lu Xun, Lu Ji and more than a dozen other teenagers stop eating one by one, and their faces were a little frightened.

Forty thousand?

10,000 more than 30,000!

Thirty thousand is enough.

These 40,000 are too terrifying.

All the defenders in the city now add up, including the 6,000 Lujiang soldiers who surrendered before, and it is just 10,000!

Moreover, these captives may defect at any time!

Lu Xun and other teenagers looked at Lu Yi one after another.

They had the idea of backing down.

Lu Yi also secretly took a cool breath.

It's scary enough for so many enemy troops to attack.

However, in today's situation, there is no room for retreat.

Once he retreated and lost Shu County, he could only watch Cao Cao and Lü Bu encroach on Yuan Shu's territory from now on.

How is this different from the original history?

How could Lu Bu be Cao Cao's opponent?

This also means that you have to face the powerful Cao Cao again.

Lu Yi stood up.

He definitely didn't want to see that.

If he couldn't even deal with Yuan Shu, he couldn't imagine the scene of facing Cao Cao himself!

Defeating Yuan Shu's army is a good start to face Cao Cao's army in the future!

Lu Yi walked outside and said, "Inform everyone, all go to the city wall, and prepare to defend the city." ”

And Lu Yi himself took Lu Xun, Lu Ji and more than a dozen other teenagers out of the palace and rushed to the city wall.

In the originally empty city of Shu County, the crowd shuttled constantly at this time.

It's all about defending the city.

These defenders gathered from all directions.

Stones were carried up the walls.

Someone was refining gold juice at the foot of the city walls.

Someone ran to the fortifications on the city walls and finally inspected the fortifications.

Cheng Pu led a group of generals and constantly encouraged the soldiers defending the city on the city wall.

Seeing Lu Yi coming up, Cheng Pu greeted him and said to Lu Yi with a serious face: "The number of people is more than the information received before!" It seems that this time Ji Ling set off from Hefei, and he set out from the city. If we can hold it, then Zhou Yu's strategy is likely to be successful, and we are likely to easily take Hefei. ”

"But—"

Cheng Pu didn't continue.

But Lu Yi knew what he was going to say.

What Cheng Pu wants to say is that he is afraid that he will not be able to hold this wave.

The enemy has four times as many troops as you!

A large number of troops on his side are still prisoners, and there is a possibility of mutiny.

In such a sinister situation, the outcome is unpredictable.

Lu Yi patted Cheng Pu on the shoulder and said, "Do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Cheng Pu nodded.

Not long after, Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin, Wei Jing and other civil officials also rushed over.

Shu County is almost an empty city.

The common people were let go by Lu Yi before.

Now there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who cannot leave, and they can't help at all.

Therefore, even if they are civilian officials, they have to fight at this moment.

Once Shu County could not hold.

The consequences are unimaginable.

Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin, Wei Jing and other civil officials followed Lu Yi.

Wherever Lu Yi goes, they go.

When it was close to evening, outside the originally calm Shu County, a piercing scream made everyone's expressions tense instantly.

"It's coming!"

Everyone looked to the north.

I saw a thin black line appear strangely on the horizon, spanning half of the sky.

Everyone didn't dare to make a sound.

Lu Yi's expression was also extremely ugly.

This encounter is comparable to when he was ordered by Lu Kang Taishou to lead the army to aid Xuzhou, and faced the siege of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's combined forces in Tancheng!

The difference is that at the beginning, Liu Guanzhang was in charge, and he was just an assistant.

And Liu Guanzhang is a veteran of the battlefield.

Now, it's yourself who calls the shots!

Moreover, on his side, there is no fierce general like Liu Guanzhang.

Although Cheng Pu is also a veteran of the battlefield, how can he compare with Liu Guanzhang?

But now in this situation, he can't help but think too much.

As time progressed, the black line of the horizon gradually magnified, turning into an enemy army all over the mountains!

At a glance, there is no end in sight.

Behind Lu Yi, Zhang Hong seemed to have aged by more than ten years in an instant.

Under his thick beard, his mouth trembled slightly.

So many enemy troops.

This terrifying momentum.

He couldn't imagine that he could hold the city!

Thinking that he was going to die on the battlefield today, Zhang Hong couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.

Lu Ji and several other teenagers kept trembling their legs and feet.

Cheng Pu looked at Lu Yi with a serious expression and said, "Lord." ”

Lu Yi took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Inform everyone to prepare for battle!" ”

Cheng Pu left briskly while constantly issuing orders.

The generals who originally followed him also scattered and stood at their respective posts.

Xu Sheng, Ling Cao, and Zhou Tai each took a hundred dead soldiers, and they also left Lu Yi's side and dispersed separately.

Shi Huan divided the eight hundred Danyang elites into three teams.

He himself led fifty people to protect Lu Yi, Lu Xun and others together with Nangong Yan.

The others split into two teams and helped defend the city.

The army outside the city approached quickly.

Finally, they stopped at a distance of about two hundred paces outside the moat.

Ten phalanxes: spearmen, swordsmen, archers, slingers, siege ladders, all available.

In particular, the twenty tall catapults, like giant beasts in the wilderness, open their bloody basins, and choose people to devour at any time.

Lu Yi thought that he was playing war games before he crossed over, and the thing he looked down on the most was the catapult.

Now, when he faced these catapults, he felt a tremor from his soul!

Shortly after the army stopped outside the city, more than a dozen generals rode forward on their horses.

is the first person, Lu Yi knows.

It was Ji Ling, who had led the army to attack Ou Ah before!

Ji Ling rode a tall horse and led his generals straight to the edge of the moat.

Looking up at Lu Yi and the others on the city wall, Ji Ling roared: "Lu Yi, I think that at the beginning, when you returned from Xuzhou, Your Majesty also cordially received you and gave you a huge amount of wealth. Now, a white-eyed wolf, he will take revenge, and he actually killed Liu Xun Taishou and captured Lujiang, and he deserves death! ”

"Now, you quickly tie your hands, open the city gate, and lead the people of Jiangdong to surrender to Your Majesty."

"Otherwise, when the city is broken, General Ben will definitely disembowel you and execute you!"

"Your woman will be reduced to a commodity that will be tasted by thousands of people."

"Your child will become a slave!"

"Listen to the people on the city wall, who can tie up Lu Yi'er and surrender in Kaecheng, General Ben."

Lu Yi looked down at Ji Ling and said to Nangong Yan beside him: "Brother Nangong, can you shoot him?" ”

Nangong Yan took the curved bow from his waist, and then took out the feathered arrow from the quiver.

While Ji Ling was still chattering, he bent his bow and arrows and suddenly let go.

An "ouch" cry rang out.

But it was the feather arrow that hit the helmet a little above Ji Ling's forehead, making a crisp sound.

Ji Ling was so frightened that he hurriedly rode his horse back.

Other generals surrounded him.

Nangong Yan frowned.

The distance is too far.

It was already his limit just now.

And that's when he's proficient in bows and arrows.

The other soldiers, at this distance, are estimated to be unable to hit the target.

Nangong Yan is about to bend his bow and arrow again.

Seeing Ji Ling retreating, far beyond the range of his attack, he stopped, looked at Lu Yi and said, "It's too far." ”

Lu Yi nodded.

Outside the city, Ji Ling was furious.

Lu Yi children.

I was kind enough to persuade you.

He even let people shoot dark arrows, he deserves death!

Since he is in such a hurry to die, then fulfill him!

Ji Ling pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at the city wall, and roared: "I don't know how to lift, attack the city, and leave no one behind!" ”

Suddenly, the flag bearer kept waving the flag.

Outside the city, a deafening trumpet sounded.

Behind Ji Ling, two infantry phalanxes surged in an instant, carrying the ladder and rushing up.

Cheng Pu also roared and said, "Archer! ”

On the city wall, one roar after another sounded.

The archers stepped forward, bent their bows and arrows towards the moat, and shot them as soon as they raised their hands!

The ladder has just been hit.

The soldier sped forward on the ladder.

On the city wall, feathered arrows rained down.

Soldiers kept being hit by arrows, screaming and falling down the ladder and into the moat.

However, more soldiers rushed up the ladder and carried the siege ladder to the city wall.

Ji Ling's face was gloomy, and he said sharply: "Catapult!" ”

Suddenly, a sound of pressing and zaza sounded.

Twenty tall catapults and pushed to the edge of the moat.
