Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, after Wei Yan took over Nanyang County, were arranged to lead the naval army, but their positions were not high.

This is also Wei Yan's helpless move, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one to use the water army, he would not have used Cai Mao, so he could only try to suppress them in his position, so as not to threaten Li Shu in the future.

And Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did not complain because of their new investment, although their official positions are small, they can at least lead an army, and they are not idle, which is already good.

The waterways are all in place, even if Zhou Yu has a strategy to reach the sky, in the face of absolute strength, he should not be able to make any waves, and on his own side, he is not incompetent.

In order to be on the safe side, Wei Yan thought left and right, and decided to let Huang Xu lead another army to set off first, and he was in the middle of the line, so as to respond to emergencies at any time.

Wei Yan's army moved quickly, and Zhou Yu also learned the news, and did not send troops to fight, but kept the same state to calm the brake.

In this way, Li Jun naturally arrived at Jiangxia County Zhixi Ling City without any obstacles, and in the face of Sun Jun's inaction, the pioneer Liao Hua did not dare to attack rashly, for fear of being tricked.

The two sides passed smoothly for several days, and with the arrival of Wei Yan and others, the siege battle officially began.

In the face of Li Jun's desperate attack, Sun Jun's defense was not leaky, and the city was not in danger for the time being.

For this situation, both sides had already expected that if it was really a breakthrough, Wei Yan would still be afraid of fraud.

In this way, after four days of attack and defense on both sides, Sun Jun's endurance decreased significantly, and Li Jun climbed the city tower several times, but it was still very difficult to take the city.

Wei Yan is not in a hurry, anyway, as long as he wins Jiangxia, one day earlier and one day later, it doesn't mean much, and the credit is the same.

But Zhou Yu is different, he has to find a way to defend, but also reduce losses, and keep the unexpected situation that can deal with the victory.

Seeing that Li Jun was slowly attacking the city without being in a hurry or impatience, Zhou Yu knew that it was no longer meaningful to defend it, so he decided to give it a go.

On this day, after a day of hard fighting, Wei Yan was full of food and drink, went out to inspect a circle, saw that there was nothing wrong, and returned to the camp to prepare to unload his armor and rest, when suddenly a news came, which made him sleepy.

"Report! Commander of the legion, the secret sentry at the north gate found that Sun's army was retreating. ”

Wei Yan besieged the city this time and chose to besiege it with four gates, but instead adopted the classic method of encircling three and putting one to fight, so that Sun Jun had hope and would not break the ship.

You must know that most of these Sun troops in Jiangxia are veterans, and there are many generals, if they are forced to burn jade, the consequences are not what Wei Yan wants to see.

As for Zhou Yu and their escape, Wei Yan didn't care, because they had no territory, and wherever they could escape, they would at most become a powerful rogue.

Wei Yan fell into thought, trying to guess what Zhou Yu meant, Lujiang had just been occupied by Zhang Liao, and Wei Yan had only gotten the flying pigeon pass in the evening, so it stands to reason that Zhou Yu should not have gotten the news yet.

With the current battle situation and Zhou Yu's troops, at least he can fight for ten days and half a month, and it is not a problem to defend for more than a month.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, what trick is Zhou Yu doing.

Wei Yan thought for a while, and asked Liao Hua to inform him and ask him to lead his troops to attack and test a wave to see how the city reacted.

Liao Hua got the military order, and he didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, so he immediately ordered the army and cautiously leaned towards the city tower.

Originally, it was close to seventy or eighty meters outside the city, and arrows would rain down on the city, but now Liao Hua had entered fifty meters, and there was no movement at all, and he immediately understood in his heart that Sun Jun might have abandoned the city.

In order to verify his guess, Liao Hua asked the rushing car to directly attack the city gate, losing the hindrance of Sun Jun, and the city gate fell to the ground in less than ten minutes.

As soon as the city gate was broken, Liao Hua led the army into the city and began to occupy some important positions.

Liao Hua confirmed in his heart that Zhou Yu must have waved his army back to Yangzhou to help, so he immediately sent someone to inform Wei Yan.

Wei Yan learned that there was no ambush in the city, and he was even more curious in his heart, but Bai Yi won the city, so he naturally wanted to occupy it, as the saying goes, if you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of the bastard.

After Wei Yan led the army into the city, he was still a little uneasy, and ordered the army to search in a carpet manner to avoid what Zhou Yu had arranged.

In this search, Wei Yan really gained something, and found flammable materials such as fire oil in many places in the city, and broke Zhou Yu's consciousness at once.

Since Zhou Yu wanted to set fire to the city, Wei Yan simply followed his wishes, ordering the removal of flammable materials while making people smoke rise.

About ten miles outside the city, Zhou Yu was napping against the grass, because he was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't light the fire, this season, he couldn't get warm, and he couldn't sleep at all.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Huh?" Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching quickly, Zhou Yu opened his eyes and saw that the person who came was Lu Meng, who had arranged the guard, and immediately asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, but Li Jun is chasing after you?" ”

"It's not." Lu Meng shook his head and said, "Governor, smoke has risen in the city. ”

"This ......" in the middle of the night, Li Jun made a meal, this does not conform to common sense, is it a celebration banquet?

It's impossible, Wei Yan is a cautious person, and he won't be happy at all.

Zhou Yu frowned and asked, "Lu Meng, what do you mean by Li Jun's cooking?" ”

Lu Meng thought for a moment and replied: "Governor Dadu, the general thinks that Wei Yan must be holding a celebration banquet, and wants to raise the morale to the highest level, and then as soon as the morning dawns, he will set off to pursue our army." ”

"Hmm." What Lu Meng said really has some truth, if this is the case, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Zhou Yu not only set up a fire plan in the city, but also set up several ambushes outside the city, as long as Li Jun accidentally hit one of them, he was confident that he would defeat Li Jun and make it impossible to force him forward in a short time.

Originally, I thought that the plan of burning would only be useful in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be effective now, Zhou Yu suppressed a trace of joy in his heart.

"Lu Meng, you always observe the movement in the city, if there is a fire, immediately counterattack, be sure to inflict heavy damage on Li Jun."

"Yes." Although Lu Meng is young, his intelligence has gradually emerged, and he knows the key to this battle, and he does not dare to be careless.

Not long after Lu Meng returned to the headquarters, he saw a fire in the city, which spread one after another, and became brighter and brighter.

The fire burned so fast, Lu Meng did not doubt him, and immediately led the army to rush to the city, and sent someone to inform Zhou Yu quickly.

Knowing that it was really on fire, Zhou Yu was also overjoyed, and immediately ordered the army to go out and prepare to recapture the city.

Sun Jun rushed to the city, and the fire had illuminated half of the sky, so the city was not blocked at all, but there were still two gates, and it happened to meet Li Jun who was embarrassed to withdraw.

The two sides fought together, Sun Jun thought that the plan was successful, and the morale was high and drove Li Jun inward, but Li Jun was not a vegetarian, so he naturally resisted.

After an hour of fierce fighting, Li's army began to lose and scattered in the city, and Sun's army took advantage of the victory to cover up and kill.

Just when the four Sun troops all rushed into the city, they suddenly killed countless Li troops from the rear and blocked the back road.
