The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 69 A Hero Meets a Bing

Judging from the situation of defending the city in the past two days, Zhang Wu feels that the north side is still a little worried. The two captains are old brothers who were thieves back then. Zhong Zhong, a veteran who has fought for decades, and a famous general like Xu Sheng couldn't handle it.

There are so few people who can be used under his command, even that grandson, Chen Sun, has to go up the city wall himself.Gan Ning led the main force of the navy to defend Cai Mao, and Ding Feng led the partial division of the navy to monitor the Jiangling navy. The navy is the foundation of Jiangxia. You can't throw all the ships back to defend. A navy without warships is still called water. Army?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Wu ordered people to bring Xu Shu.

Xu Shu looked at the Jiangdong army's continuous camps outside the city and the Jiangdong soldiers who were busy making siege equipment, and his heart was agitated. This is war, and it is completely different from the gangsters fighting when he was a ranger in the past!I have endured reading for so many years, isn't it just to show my skills on such a big scene?

"Yuan Zhi thinks how this battle will be?" Zhang Wu also looked at the Jiangdong soldiers outside the city and asked. From a distance, those busy Jiangdong soldiers really looked like a group of ants busy moving things.

"Sun Quan came with an army of [-], and Zhou Yu commanded the army. Han Dang, Huang Gai, Tai Shici, Lu Meng, and Dong Xi were all famous Jiangdong generals. Jiang Xia was alone and helpless. General Zhang's situation in this battle is not good. If we break through now, we may have a chance."

"Hahahaha... Zhou Yu is a world-class commander. It is true that Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Tai Shici are all famous Jiangdong generals, but this is Jiangxia, not Jiangdong. This is land, not water. Sun Quan tore up the agreement and violated rashly. I, Jiang Xia, this is inhumane; I don’t care about the casualties of the soldiers and only serve my own self-interest, this is unrighteous; with Zhou Yu as the commander in chief, I dare not let go of power and insist on pointing fingers, this is not clear; It is unwise. So inhumane and unrighteous, ignorant and unwise, how can we win? I think Jiangdong's army is like ants!"

Xu Shu curled his lips, you can brag, anyone can speak big words, but in the end it is still necessary to fight with real swords and guns. Even if the Jiangdong Army disembarks and fights on foot, you can't stop so many people. How many guards can you have in Jiangxia City? Army, not to mention there is no reinforcements yet, is it possible to drive out the people to defend the city?

"What's the use of General Zhang telling me these things? And what does this matter have to do with me? If the general doesn't want to break through and leave, can you let me go? I'm here to wish the general a great victory over the Jiangdong army!"

"How can it be okay? Now that the war is starting, Yuanzhi thinks you can leave safely? The Jiangdong soldiers have surrounded the city, and Yuan Zhi will be shot to death by the Jiangdong army as soon as he leaves the city. And if Jiangxia City is captured If Jiangdong breaks through, Yuanzhi will die, so for his own sake, Yuanzhi should also hope that Jiangxia will win this battle."

Xu Shu was about to go mad with anger. I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen such shameless people!You first arrested me like a robber, then locked me up without paying attention, and now Jiangxia was besieged by Jiangdong, you still won't let me go, how can I be so unlucky!

"General Zhang was joking. Even if Jiangdong's army breaks through Jiangxia, Sun Quan wouldn't be able to kill innocent people. I have never fought against Jiangdong, and I am not under the general. How could I escape death!"

"Hey! Even so, it is possible to kill one or two people by mistake among the rebellious army. Even if the Jiangdong army doesn't kill people randomly, I can't control how many people were killed randomly when Jiangxia's defenders retreated!"

I rely on!Xu Shu once again refreshed his understanding of Zhang Wu's shamelessness, and even threatened him nakedly. He had no hatred for killing his father or taking away his wife, so why did he press him so hard! !
"What exactly does the general intend to do?" It's not just that when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason clearly. When a hero meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason clearly!
"I know that Yuanzhi is capable of both civil and military affairs, and is extremely resourceful, so I want to ask Yuanzhi to help me defend the northern city wall. Yuanzhi can rest assured that our army will win this battle. After Sun Quan is defeated, it is up to Yuanzhi to decide whether to go or stay. , okay?" Although Zhang Wu said so, he was confident that Xu Shu could be retained after the war.

Xu Shu had no choice but to help Zhang Wu defend the city for his own sake, and he also knew that the south of the city was the main attack direction of the Jiangdong Army, so it was no problem to defend a section of the city wall with his own ability.

Seeing that Xu Shu had no choice but to agree, Zhang Wu was secretly pleased, and sent someone to call the two captains in the north of the city, and appointed Xu Shu on the spot to join the army as the general's mansion and be responsible for the defense of the north of the city. Hand it over to Xu Shu, and grant him the power of life and death in battle.

Zhang Wu knew that Xu Shu was not a duplicity person, and since he promised, he would definitely do his best, and he had always implemented the principle of not being suspicious, and not being suspicious, since he used it, he should boldly delegate power, and don't be dubious or suspicious.

Xu Shu didn't expect Zhang Wu to be so reassuring to him that he even gave him the power of life and death. With such a mind, ordinary people really can't match it!
After the Jiangdong Army built the siege equipment, it began to attack the city on a large scale.At the previous military conference held by Sun Quan, both Huang Gai and Xu Sheng pointed out that the guards in the north of Jiangxia City seemed to be inexperienced and their command was somewhat chaotic. Try to see if you can make a breakthrough.

Sun Quan then also increased the attack power in the north of the city, but he could only increase some manpower, and the large siege equipment could not be transported.

Watching the Jiangdong army pushing the catapults approaching, Zhang Wu knew that the test was coming, because although the catapult was actually not very lethal, it was far less dead than the bow and arrow, because the accuracy was too poor.But this thing causes a lot of psychological pressure on people, so a huge monster keeps approaching, and then throws such a big stone far away, who is not afraid!Even if you can't hit anyone, what if the city wall collapses!
Along with the catapult, there is also a heavy crossbow, which is not easy to deal with with a long range and accurate shooting, especially when it is shot in a crowded place, it is like a bunch of candied haws.

Since the hidden marks had been made on the battlefield in advance, Zhang Wu constantly calculated the distance between the opponent's catapults and the city wall, and then Zhang Wu ordered: "The first two rows of catapults increase the counterweight."

After the order was communicated, the soldiers operating the catapult added a large stone that had been weighed in advance as a counterweight according to the operating procedures compiled by Zhang Wu.

"Reload!"

"emission!"

Following Zhang Wu's order, countless boulders were thrown out roaringly, hitting the phalanx of catapults of the advancing Jiangdong Army. However, the catapult was smashed a lot. After all, it was made in a hurry and the quality was not very good.

"What's going on! How did their catapults throw them so far!" Zhou Yu said in surprise when she saw this.
