Thank you for the handsome thought/disfigured son's tip!

The Wei army did not rush to attack the city, but set up camps on all sides of the stone city to surround the stone city, and Ma Chao was waiting for the arrival of ballistas and trebuchets.

Originally, Ma Chao meant to attack Shicheng in one go, what ballistas were you waiting for! However, under the persuasion of Tian Feng, the military advisor of the army, he finally gave up this kind of brute plan.

At the same time, the river surface of Chibi was still very calm, but this calm made people a little breathless, and the Wei soldiers couldn't wait to go to the battlefield, but the order to attack was delayed.

Zhang Liao paced back and forth in the big tent, looking anxious, Hu Zhao smiled: "Wenyuan, don't worry! I believe that Your Majesty will soon give the order to attack! ”

Zhang Liao smiled ashamedly at Hu Zhao and said, "Meng Qi has already destroyed the main force of Wu Guo's water division and captured Niu Fu, and now he is attacking Shicheng!" I really can't sit still! ”

Hu Zhao pondered: "Your Majesty should be waiting for Sun Jian to transfer the main force here to the east now!" As long as Sun Jian's main force is transferred away, I believe that the offensive order will come down! ”

Zhang Liao nodded, but said with some concern: "Your Majesty's plan is very obvious, Sun Jian is not an unscrupulous person, can he be fooled?" ”

Hu Zhao smiled and said with certainty: "It will be!" Although His Majesty's plan is obvious, it is to suppress people with power, this is a conspiracy, Sun Jian has no choice! ”

Zhang Liao nodded lightly. Then the herald hurried into the tent.

"General, Your Majesty's warrant!" As he spoke, he handed over a letter in both hands.

Zhang Liao and Hu Zhao seemed to have a premonition. couldn't help but light up his eyes, and Zhang Liao hurriedly took the warrant from the herald's hand. I took a quick look at it. Then he said excitedly: "Your Majesty ordered our army to attack immediately!" ”

Zhang Liao turned his head and said to Hu Zhao with admiration: "Mr. Kong Ming." You're right! ”

Hu Zhao smiled indifferently, and Zhang Liao said to the herald: "Immediately beat the drum and gather the generals!" ”

"No!" The herald said excitedly.

At the same time, Sun Jian, who was in the Hushu camp, was pacing back and forth very uneasily, Pang Tong and Zhang Zhao were standing on one side, looking very solemn

Sun Jian stopped and frowned: "Mr. Gu feels that it is very inappropriate to transfer the main force to reinforce Shicheng!" ”

Pang Tong and Zhang Zhao exchanged a look, and Zhang Zhao hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, although this is likely to be Cao Cao's strategy, we have no choice!" If you don't go for reinforcements. The strength of the fourth prince and Liu Qi alone is simply not able to compete! If the east of the Huai River is lost, Jianye must not be defended! Once Jianye is lost, the world will be shaken! ”

Sun Jian couldn't help but look at Pang Tong, and Pang Tong nodded with difficulty

Sun Jian walked outside the door with his hands behind his back, looked at the clear blue sky and said helplessly: "Now I can only hope that the Wei army will not attack at this time!" ”

However, Sun Jian's extravagant hopes were soon shattered, and the main forces of the Wei army's 1st Army, 3rd Army Corps, and Xuanjia Cavalry, with the assistance of the Jingzhou navy, launched a fierce attack on the Wu army's camp.

"What's going on now?"

Sun Jian asked in a hurry as he hurried towards Hushu's military camp, and Pang Tong rode his horse close to his side and replied, "The situation is very bad! The outer front has all been lost! Our army suffered heavy casualties, and several generals were killed! ”

"What?!" Sun Jian was shocked.

At this time, the people in Hushu City were already panicking. The fleeing people almost blocked the city gates, and the people already knew that the Wei army had broken through the Wu army's defense line in the east and completely annihilated Huang Gai's department, and also knew that hundreds of thousands of Wei army elites were storming the Hushu camp dozens of miles away.

However, there are some who stand on the sidelines. There is even some schadenfreude, these people are almost all businessmen, and they have been tossed enough by Sun Jian these days.

Sun Jian and his entourage rushed to the city gate. But he had to stop and look at the panicked crowd of people surging outside the city. Sun Jian couldn't help frowning, and immediately called the captain of the city gate.

"Your Majesty!" The captain of the city gate clasped his fists and bowed.

Sun Jian pointed to the crowd in front of him and said angrily: "That's it." If the Wei army suddenly comes, how can you resist it? ”

The lieutenant's heart sank, and he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "My subordinates are incompetent, I don't know how to deal with it!" ”

Sun Jian snorted coldly and ordered categorically: "Close the city gate, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will!" ”

The lieutenant couldn't help but be taken aback, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, if you do this, I'm afraid it will cause a civil uprising!" ”

Sun Jian's eyes were cold, "Now is the time for survival!" If anyone dares to make trouble, there will be no mercy! ”

The lieutenant originally wanted to persuade again, but when he saw Sun Jiansen's cold eyes, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, so he had to hold his fists and promise.

Sun Jian called the herald and ordered him to order the other three to do the same.

Sun Jian's own soldiers shouted while pushing away the people blocking the city gate: "The king wants to go out of the city, everyone get out of the way!" ”

Sun Jian and his entourage immediately galloped out of the city, and the sergeants who received the order immediately blocked the flow of people out of the city, and closed the city gate at the same time.

At this time, the captain of the city gate stood on the tower of the city gate and shouted: "By the order of the king, from now on, no one is allowed to leave the city at will, and those who violate it will be punished for the crime of collaborating with the enemy!" ”

The people of the city could not help but be quiet, but after a moment there was an even greater agitation, and the people shouted and crowded forward, many of whom had already clashed with the soldiers.

"General, what should I do?" An officer asked, somewhat unerringly.

The captain hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Kill me!" ”

The officer was taken aback, "General, this"

The lieutenant glared and said fiercely: "Execute the order!" ”

The officer had no choice but to agree, drew his saber and rushed to the city gate, holding his saber high and shouting: "If you break through again, you will be killed!" ”

However, the agitated people did not take his words seriously at all, and the officer, seeing this, had to give the order to attack.

Although the soldiers who received the order could not bear it, the blades in their hands did not obey the call and beckoned down to the people, and when they landed, dozens of leading the people fell in a pool of blood, and the rest of the people scattered as birds and beasts, and a few who were separated from their relatives sat on the ground and cried loudly. The scene was very chaotic.

Sun Jian and his entourage came to the military camp outside Hushu City, at this time the army that had already received the order was already ready to go, Sun Jian did not say a word of nonsense, and immediately led all 30,000 soldiers to rush to the camp to help.

Sun Jian and Pang Tong led the only 30,000 reserves to rush to the aid of the Chibi battalion, which was struggling to resist the attack of the main force of the Wei army, but not long after leaving the camp, they received an urgent report from the scouts, "Your Majesty, the outer camp has been lost!" ”

"What!" Sun Jian was taken aback, and Pang Tong on the side was also surprised.

"How is that possible? There are 100,000 people in the Chibi camp, how can it be possible to get to such a situation in half a day? Sun Jian said in disbelief. (To be continued.) )
