Lu Xun stared into the distance,

His thoughts are heavy and his face is heavy,

at this time,

Han Dang and other Soochow generals knew that Lu Xun was on the city wall early in the morning, so they did not dare to delay and hurriedly climbed onto the city wall.

In order to facilitate and effectively command Yiling City, Lu Xun specifically ordered the relocation of the Governor's Office to a courtyard not far from the south gate city wall.

Now that Lu Xun has moved, Han Dang and other Soochow generals are no exception, and they are all near Lu Xun.

So they all know what Lu Xun is doing.

However, although the relocation is convenient for command and more effectively improves morale, it also creates a hidden danger. Normally, it is okay for Yiling City to be in our own hands. If Yiling City is captured by the Shu army, if they, the Soochow generals, will I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape.

"Grand Governor!" Han Dang, as a veteran of Soochow, was the first to call.

Lu Xun didn't look back, he still looked up into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

When everyone is standing on the city wall,

a long time,

"Generals, Yidao, various strongholds, and the two cities of Zigui and Zigui have all been captured by the Shu army. Yiling, our country of Wu, has become an isolated city. The situation on the battlefield is not optimistic for our country of Wu!"

Lu Xun's face was solemn, and then he let out a long sigh, and his sigh was full of helplessness.

"There is no need to worry, Commander-in-Chief. Our country of Wu has enough food and supplies to last for half a year, but Liu Bei's Shu army is just the opposite. It is short of food and grass, and can only supply half a month's military supplies. As long as we persist for half a month, the Shu army will naturally retreat. Our siege at Yiling can be solved."

Han Dang was full of confidence and sneered disapprovingly. After all, food and grass supplies are related to morale. If there is a shortage and the soldiers are hungry, they will mutiny and rebel. There is no need for the enemy to attack. They themselves will be in chaos, so why fight.

"General Han Dang, do you also know that the Shu army still has half a month of food and supplies?" Lu Xun turned around and looked at Han Dang, his eyes full of coldness.

Han Dang's tiger eyes flashed with fear, and then he shook his head, "It's impossible. Our Yiling City has high walls and thick walls. Except for the south gate, the terrain is flat. It is surrounded by rivers and steep cliffs. Plus the soldiers in our Yiling City, all They are the elite of our Wu Kingdom. Not to mention that the Shu army currently only has 50,000 troops to attack the city, but 100,000 troops. If you want to attack Yiling, you are just hitting an egg against a stone and overestimating your own capabilities."

"General Han Dang, you are too arbitrary. The battlefield situation is unpredictable. Until the other side surrenders, no one can guarantee that who will always have the absolute advantage and win the final victory!"

Lu Xun showed a hint of disappointment, obviously very dissatisfied with Han Dang's answer.

"So, Grand Governor, how should we deal with the Shu army?" Zhuge Jin thought for a moment and asked.

"Pass my military order and order the garrison at each city gate to be alert to all movements around you. If you find any abnormal situation, immediately prepare for battle and defense. There must be no slack. If anyone neglects his duty, I will not forgive him. Military law will be followed." Deal with it and impose the death penalty!" Lu Xun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he ordered the generals in a deep voice.

"No, Grand Governor!"

Han Dang and other Soochow generals looked solemn and bowed to Lu Xun.

"Shu Army..."

"The Shu army is coming!"

On the city wall, some sharp-eyed Soochow soldiers saw the dust flying in front and the military flags standing in front. Their expressions changed with fright, and they shouted loudly in panic.

A look of surprise flashed across Lu Xun's eyes, and then he turned back and looked outside the city.

War horses are galloping, and soldiers are at war.

They were densely packed, like that huge dark monster, charging toward Yiling City with great force.

When he saw the large banner with Liu characters in the middle of the army, Lu Xun whispered, "Liu Bei, you still came in person after all!"

"Grand Governor, since Liu Bei is here, he must have brought all his main troops out to attack the city." Han Dang pointed to the Shu army outside the city and said in surprise.

"It's fine if you come. If you don't come, that's weird!" Lu Xun sneered.

…………

Outside Yiling City.

"Woo!"

A loud and dull horn sound came from the middle of the Shu army, suddenly far and now near, as if it did not come from the abyss.

Suffocating.

Immediately afterwards,

"kill!"

Shouting to kill Zhentian,

Three thousand soldiers of the Shu army, holding spears, rushed out from the army and attacked Yiling City.

On one side is written a big word "李", indicating the identity of this army.

Yes, this army is the three thousand Wu army that surrendered to the Shu army during Li Jun's battle with Xu Sheng last night. Now, it has been incorporated into the Shu army by Li Jun and has become a new army under Li Jun's command.

Originally, this new army was not qualified to attack the city, but it was sent out by Li Jun.

As for why, Li Jun wanted to see the true strength of this new army in this siege battle?

If it can survive the cruel and ruthless siege battle, then this new army can be truly accepted by Li Jun and be considered to have passed Li Jun's test, and vice versa.

After all, this new army was originally from Soochow, but now it belongs to the Shu army. With the change of status, I feel a little worried, and the attack on the city is not as diligent as the Shu army.

This is the most deadly thing. The Wu army guarding the city does not care about your previous identity. Moreover, since you have chosen to surrender to the enemy camp, you are the enemy. The defending Wu army shot arrows at the new army under the city wall mercilessly.

Six thousand arrows shot out in unison, covering the sky and the earth.

for a while,

The entire sky seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. The sky was dark and contained murderous intent.

"ah!"

"ah…"

The one hundred soldiers of the New Shu Army who charged at the front were pierced through the heart by a flying arrow cluster, making a miserable sound of pain, accompanied by countless splashes of blood, which looked weird and terrifying.

A veteran standing at the edge of the city wall, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, lowered his head deeply, opened his eyes wide, and observed the movements of the siege army below.

He is Xu Sheng,

Xu Sheng was let go by Liu Bei and fled back to Yiling City, although Lu Xun had no suspicion at the time. However, Xu Sheng was a person who was good at observing words and emotions. From Lu Xun's eyes, it could be seen that Lu Xun had already developed a suspicion of him.

In order to dispel Lu Xun's concerns and make Lu Xun trust him again, Xu Sheng decided to search for important generals of the Shu army when the Shu army attacked the city today. After confirming the target, Xu Sheng would shoot him with cold arrows.

The first person Xu Sheng wanted to shoot was Li Jun among the Shu army.

As a veteran of Soochow, he had fought fiercely with countless opponents and had never been so humiliated. But last night, he lost to a junior Li Jun. How could Xu Sheng swallow this bad breath.

Therefore, Xu Sheng could only restore his remaining dignity by shooting Li Jun.

Although it was unkind and even more despicable to shoot a cold arrow in secret, Xu Sheng didn't care anymore for the sake of face.

only,

Xu Sheng searched for a long time, but could not find Li Jun.

Where has this person gone?
