Chapter 676 The Sound Spreads All over the World

"The Governor's words are very kind." The mature Cheng Pu nodded and said: "It's just Shu County. Why do I need to send out nearly 30,000 troops? It's more than enough to capture Shu County with only half of it, or even 31 troops and horses."

"Firstly, the reserve team can intimidate the defenders in Shu County City, and secondly, it can defend Cao Jun. If Cao Jun really attacks, the reserve team can step forward to fight with Cao Jun, and then the siege troops can take the opportunity to retreat and compete with Cao Jun again."

If Cao Jun really comes when Jiangdong Army is attacking the city, Jiangdong Army has the defenders of Shu County in front and Cao Jun in the rear. It will be defeated under the attack from the front and rear. If the reserve force can entangle Cao Jun, it will be fine.

"Okay!" Zhou Yu raised the sword on his waist and said loudly: "My lord has given me the sword seal. Although Yu is not talented, he is ordered to control the generals in danger. If there is anyone who disobeys, he should be killed with this sword!"

Whether they were veterans such as Huang Gai or Cheng Pu, or young warriors such as Taishi Ci, Chen Wu, Xu Sheng, etc., they all had stern expressions on their faces and clasped their fists.

"At the end of the day, the generals and others will only obey the orders of the governor!"

"Where is Huang Gai?"

"The general is here!"

"Tomorrow you will lead an army of three thousand and supervise the attack on the west gate!" Zhou Yu threw out a token, which was caught by Huang Gai.

"promise!"

"Where is Tai Shici?"

Taishi Ci took a step forward and said, "The general is here, please give me your orders, Commander-in-Chief!"

Zhou Yu threw out another token: "You also lead three thousand troops and horses to supervise the attack on the south gate."

Han Dang and Chen Wu also received the order thrown out by Zhou Yu and led three thousand troops to attack the north gate and east gate respectively.

The general art of war focuses on the method of surrounding three gates, that is, attacking only three gates and leaving one side behind. In this way, the enemy troops in the city have a way to escape, and naturally they will not be determined to die and fight the siege army to the end.

And if the city gates on all sides are blocked, the defenders in the city will have no way to retreat, and they will naturally have to fight to the death, which will make it difficult to capture.

But the war in Shu County was unusual. Firstly, the enemy troops in the city were rebels, and many of them were coerced by Li Shu, who had no choice but to surrender. Secondly, the enemy troops in the city were afraid of fighting and had low morale. In this situation A siege on all sides will not arouse the enemy's desire to fight to the death in the city, but will accelerate the collapse of the city's defenders.

This is the art of war. If you only know how to lead troops according to the military manual, it will lead to the consequences of Zhao Kuo talking about war on paper and Ma Di losing his street pavilion.

Zhou Yu then ordered: "The remaining 13,000 troops and horses are in reserve as a reserve force. They are standing in formation outside the city and are ready. Generals Cheng Pu, Pan Zhang, and Xu Sheng will follow me in the rear to guard against the appearance of Cao's army."

Cheng Pu and the other three people also clasped their fists and said solemnly: "I will obey the orders of the governor."

Zhou Yu raised his sword horizontally, looked slowly around the generals on the left and right, and said loudly: "Everyone, Lujiang is the territory of our Jiangdong Army. Li Shu's rebels have overestimated their own capabilities. Our army must capture Shu County in one fell swoop to secure Jiangdong." My father’s heart is to repay Uncle Fu Gong’s spirit in heaven!”

"The last general will fight to the death. Our Jiangdong Army will be victorious! Victorious! Victorious!"

Dozens of Jiangdong Army generals and majors in the camp all looked excited and raised their arms and shouted. The shouts of "Wan Sheng" spread out from the Chinese military tent. Infected by the atmosphere, although the Jiangdong soldiers around the Chinese military tent didn't know what was going on, they couldn't help but cheered with excitement.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The cheers were like a wave, sweeping through the entire Jiangdong Army camp within a quarter of an hour. The more than 25,000 Jiangdong Army soldiers all raised their arms and shouted, with high morale.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The Jiangdong Army was united as one, and their uniform shouts seemed to converge into a torrent, which could be heard clearly even in Shu County several miles away.

If all people are united, Mount Tai can be shaken!

The rebel guards on top of Shu County City looked at each other, and all of them turned pale. There were recruits and some timid soldiers, and they even couldn't help but tremble in their legs.

The gate lord of the south gate (the person in charge of the gate on one side of the city is called the gate lord, and his rank is roughly equivalent to that of a hundred-man general) couldn't help but chatter with his teeth. Suddenly, his nose twitched, with a look of disgust on his face, and he slapped his palms. In front of nose.

The gatekeeper frowned and said, "What does it smell like? It's so sexy?"

He followed the direction of the smell and saw a soldier who was about sixteen or seventeen years old and thin. His legs were trembling, and his pants were heavily wet, with light yellow liquid still dripping from the lower edge. , got his feet and straw sandals wet, and formed a large puddle of urine.

The gatekeeper was furious: "You guys, why are you so scared that you wet your pants? I'm so angry!"

The guard who peed his pants was trembling all over. He didn't know whether he was frightened by Jiangdong's army or the angry gate lord, so he didn't answer.

"Bad luck!" The gatekeeper yelled and ordered the two guards beside him: "You two, lift this kid down and let him change his pants quickly."

"Come here! Go dig some sand under the city and cover up this urine stain. Hurry!"

The gatekeeper gave the order, and naturally someone went to work. However, the nearly a hundred guards at the top of the city did not laugh at the guard who peed his pants, because they were all shocked by the earth-shattering cheers of the Jiangdong Army outside the city and said no. Speak up.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the steps of the city gate tower.

"The general is here!"

Hundreds of soldiers guarded the city, dozens of them were the first to clear the way, and the remaining people surrounded a general wearing iron sleeve armor and walked to the top of the city.

The general wearing the armor with long sleeves had a gloomy face, a sharp mouth, and a goatee. He looked like a scheming person at first glance.

"What are you doing? It's just some Jiangdong troops who scared you silly, didn't they?" The general shouted sharply and held down the sword on his waist.

The gate lord hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "General Li, Jiangdong Army is just bluffing. The South City Gate must be impregnable."

It turned out that the harsh general was none other than Li Shu, who openly raised his flag for rebellion in Lujiang.

Li Shu glanced contemptuously outside the city and lectured loudly: "What are you afraid of? Jiangdong Army's thunder is loud and the rain is small."

"Prefect of Danyang, Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Yi was killed. Peng Hu, the commander of Shanyue Zong in Kuaiji County, joined forces with tens of thousands of troops. Fei Zhan, Zu Shan and others were ready to move. The Jiangdong Army has been on fire for a long time in the backyard and is on the verge of collapse. As long as our army persists for a few days, Zhou Yu will definitely withdraw troops!"

After saying that, Li Shu raised his head and said: "So, our army must hold on for a few days. As long as these few days pass, Lujiang County will be our world, and we will receive rewards when the time comes. Do you understand?"

The prince nodded and said, "Yes, yes, General Li said yes."

"Did everyone hear this? As long as we hold out for a few days, the enemy army will retreat without a fight." The gatekeeper shouted to the defenders on the tower.

Seeing the prince's reaction, Li Shu nodded with satisfaction, patted his shoulder and said, "Very good, Li Geng. As long as the enemy retreats this time, I will promote you to the position of commander."

The sect leader was overjoyed and said with fists in his hands: "How dare you disobey your orders, general?"
