The firelight dancing in the public security city in the distance fell on Lu Meng's eyes like sharp knives, piercing his psychological defense step by step.
Lu Meng, who was already suffering from illness, could only press his hands tightly on the railing in front of him.
Only in this way can he have the strength to keep his body from falling.
No matter how regretful or painful he felt, Lu Meng knew that as the commander-in-chief of an army of 100,000, he could not show any abnormality at this time.
Otherwise, it will cause chaos in the military morale. Update without error@
But Lu Meng's forced composure made his performance seem so out of place compared to the panicked crowd.
Many Jiangdong generals who were recruiting their own troops in the camp immediately panicked when they saw the flames soaring into the sky several miles away.
Everyone was an experienced person. When they saw that scene, they guessed that Huang Gai and Jiang Qin's troops had been ambushed.
After realizing this, the Jiangdong generals rushed to the high platform one after another. They came behind Lu Meng and asked Lu Meng what to do next.
The two armies of Huang Gai and Jiang Qin combined had a total of 6,000 troops. Compared with the 100,000-strong army, these 6,000 troops did not seem to be a lot.
These six thousand soldiers and horses are all the elites of Jiangdong's army!
Moreover, Huang Gai was a veteran of three dynasties and had a noble status. In the past, he used his reputation to promote many rookies in the army, which made many Jiangdong generals respect him very much.
Needless to say, Jiang Qin was one of the few remaining Huaisi generals.
His existence not only protects countless courtiers with Huaisi background, but also acts as a stabilizing needle in the Jiangdong army.
The six thousand troops were completely annihilated. This result was unacceptable to all the generals.
If Huang Gai and Jiang Qin were caught in this ambush, then when the results of tonight's battle are known, it will inevitably cause a big earthquake in Jiangdong.
Both results were unacceptable to everyone, so they asked Lü Meng in a panic to send reinforcements quickly to meet the return of the two generals Huang Gai and Jiang Qin.
From the moment the fire started to rise in the public security city, everyone knew in their hearts that their sneak attack into the city tonight had been declared a failure.
But even if they were defeated, even if the six thousand soldiers had suffered heavy losses, Huang Gai and Jiang Qin must rescue them.
The Jiangdong generals had discord in the past, but now they were surprisingly united.
Because if they don't save Huang Gai and Jiang Qin tonight, how can they safely leave their backs to other comrades in the future?
Everyone was furious and asked to lead troops to rescue Huang Gai and Jiang Qin.
At this time, everyone saw that Lu Meng still had a "calm and composed" look on his face, and some people couldn't help but blame Lu Meng in their hearts.
Among them, Han Dang had the strongest expression of dissatisfaction on his face.
Since Sun Jiao was captured and Huang Gai was trapped in the public security city, Han Dang was the only one in the current Jiangdong army who could rival Lü Meng in terms of prestige.
Han Dang and Huang Gai have known each other for more than thirty years, and their decades of comradeship have long made them as close to each other as brothers.
Now that he saw Lu Meng acting like a mother-in-law to the reinforcements, how could this not make him angry?
Han Dang even thought that if Lu Meng hadn't insisted on going his own way tonight, how could they have suffered such a defeat?
Han Dang stepped forward from among the generals and came to Lu Meng. He said to Lu Meng:
"Generals Huang and Jiang were ordered by the Grand Governor and are now trapped in the police.
If the governor does not send troops to rescue, how can the generals feel at ease? "
Although Han Dang didn't say anything serious, it was enough to tell from his tone that he was quite dissatisfied.
With Han Dang, a veteran of three dynasties, taking the lead, everyone's request to send troops for rescue suddenly reached its peak.
Lu Meng looked at the Jiangdong generals in front of him who were all panic-stricken but firmly expressed their intention to send reinforcements. Even if he didn't want to send reinforcements, he couldn't help but not send them.
Even Han Dang, who supported him the most in the past, began to be dissatisfied with him, let alone others?
Although he knew that Mi Yang had already prepared a way to prevent him from sending reinforcements, he couldn't go against it.
If he does not send reinforcements tonight, let alone Sun Quan will be responsible for the loss of two generals, Huang Gai and Jiang Qin in the future.
Ren, it's all his fault.
I am afraid that after tonight, he will no longer have the authority to command any soldier or general in the army.
Thinking of the high stakes, Lu Meng finally had no choice but to issue an order to send reinforcements.
Lu Meng ordered a tiger general with a scar on his face, "Youping, you immediately lead your troops and go to the west gate to rescue Generals Huang and Jiang."
This general with a scar on his face is Zhou Tai, a Huaisi general whom Sun Quan values very much today.
The scar on Zhou Tai's face was left to save Sun Quan.
Not only did Zhou Tai have a close relationship with Sun Quan, he and Jiang Qin were from the same county, and the two had always had a good relationship.
After Zhou Tai received Lu Meng's order, he did not hesitate at all.
After he clenched his fist at Lu Meng, he immediately ran down.
The reason why Lu Meng asked Zhou Tai to lead the rescue force was because he valued Zhou Tai's military strength.
When the enemy forces blockade the city gate, only brave people can find a way out for their own side.
Moreover, Zhou Tai's water quality was among the best among Jiangdong generals, and all his soldiers were good at water.
Now that the suspension bridge has been destroyed, only these people who are good at water can have some hope of crossing the wide and cold moat.
After appointing Zhou Tai as reinforcement, Lu Meng issued another order.
"With the order, the three major camps in the east, south and north will immediately gather troops and horses to launch a violent attack on Gong'an City."
After hearing Lu Meng's order, the Jiangdong generals present hesitated for a while.
Instead of rescuing Huang Gai and Jiang Qin, why would we send troops to attack the city?
Seeing that he could no longer fulfill his words and actions, Lu Meng couldn't help but feel a little angry. He spoke sternly to the people present,
"Mi Yang will set up an ambush in the west of the city and will definitely mobilize most of the troops in the city."
"In this way, the remaining cities will be empty of troops."
"As long as he receives news that the other three city walls have been attacked, it is possible to dispatch troops from the west of the city to support the cities."
"Only in this way can we have a greater chance of rescuing Generals Huang and Jiang!"
After Lu Meng explained, everyone suddenly realized.
This is also the last resort now.
After knowing what Lu Meng meant, the generals left one after another to mobilize their troops.
After the generals left, the impatient Zhou Tai had already led his troops to support him. @ESSENTIAL\/SHUKEG·No mistake first release~~
Lu Meng watched Zhou Tai's leaving figure from the high platform. He actually didn't have much hope in his heart.
Because as he looked, thousands of barbarians had rushed outside the west gate and began to harvest the lives of the more than a thousand Jiangdong soldiers outside the city gate.
But whether he can be saved or not is a matter of ability, and not saving him is a matter of attitude. .
