Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms

Pang De was also worried that someone would suddenly attack from inside Sihui City, so when the camp was attacked, Pang De did not care about the people who attacked the camp at first, but instead focused on Sihui City.

As long as the people of Sihui City dared to open the city gate, he would abandon the camp and rush into the city as soon as possible. However, he did not expect that Sihui City would ignore the support and refuse to open the city gate.

"General, if we can capture Sun Quan, I think this battle will be over soon."

Deng Ai looked at Pang De helplessly. He was still somewhat dissatisfied with Pang De's decision not to let him pursue.

"Of course I know what you said, but you don't see who Sun Quan brought with him. They are all special soldiers. What do we have? They are all ordinary soldiers. The only special soldier is the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. But do you really think that the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are for us? Even if we were allowed to bring them, we can't use them casually."

Pang De has known Gu Rubing for quite some time, and he has a certain understanding of the people around Gu Rubing.

According to his guess, Gu Rubing's Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were completely for Zhang Liao who was coming over, and only Zhang Liao could fully utilize the purpose of these special troops.

But it is obvious that Deng Ai did not understand this clearly.

"Not something we can use? What do you mean?"

"It's meaningless. Even if you send people to chase them, it's useless. With only 2,000 Yanyun 18 Riders, how can you think you can catch up with 3,000 special forces? Even if you catch up, how can you be sure that you are the opponent? Remember, don't let victory get you carried away. Always stay calm and be careful not to fall into someone else's trap."

After saying this, Pang De looked towards Sihui City.

He was a little confused as to what was going on in Sihui City. People had come to help them, but they were still hiding in the city and refusing to come out. What was going on?

Sun Quan ran to Longchuan City, and Lu Xun immediately came to Sun Quan.

"Young Master, how is it?"

"The Pangde people in the north of Sihui City have surrounded us. I hid and tried to launch a surprise attack on Pangde, hoping that the people in Sihui City would cooperate with me to attack from both inside and outside. However, I didn't expect that the people in Sihui City hid in the city and had no intention of coming out. I had no choice but to return with my people."

"No one in Sihui City is coming out?"

Thinking of this, Lu Xun immediately called Trajan over.

"What's wrong? Any news about the food supplies?"

Sun Quan snorted coldly and told Trajan everything.

Trajan did not expect that Pompey would lose such a good opportunity to break out.

Trajan, who originally wanted to come and ask for punishment, had to remain silent at this time. This time it was the fault of their Anro Empire.

"I will personally lead some people there. If Pompey sees me, he will probably come out to support me."

Trajan was no longer so confident when speaking at this time.

Because he didn't know what Pompey was thinking.

"No, I'm totally wasting my time."

A voice appeared outside the tent.

After hearing the voice, the three of them frowned and looked outside.

I saw Zhou Yu, Sun Jian and others walking in from outside.

"Father, are you back?"

Sun Quan quickly came to Sun Jian.

They were struggling here just to wait for Sun Jian. Now that Sun Jian is back, the pressure on them is no longer so great.

"Grand Commander, you just said you don't want it anymore. Do you not want Longchuan City anymore? And Sihui City too?"

"We don't want Longchuan City anymore, but we still want Sihui City. After all, we have a port there."

Lu Xun understood what Zhou Yu meant and nodded.

Under the moonlight, Sun Jian led everyone and quietly left Longchuan City.

The moment they left, Zhang Ren had already been notified and sent someone to pass on the news to Pang De, while he took everyone and immediately occupied Longchuan City.

After receiving the news, Pang De sighed helplessly. The pocket formation was in good condition, but because of the frequent problems on their side, the most critical opening of the pocket formation was not closed in time, which gave Sun Jian the opportunity.

In the end, Pang De had no choice but to retreat and returned to Longchuan City.

After Gu Rubing received the news that Longchuan City had been captured, he moved the front-line command directly to Longchuan City.

At this time, Zhang Liao also rushed to Longchuan City.

When everyone learned that Gu Rubing was coming, they immediately went out of the city to welcome him.

"My lord, the failure of this plan is our fault. Please punish us."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing looked at Pang De and Zhang Ren who were kneeling in front of him, smiled and patted them on the shoulders.

"You haven't failed. After all, haven't we got Longchuan City? This is the gateway to Yangzhou. As long as Longchuan City is in our hands, Yangzhou will be stable."

Listening to Gu Rubing's comfort, the two knew that Gu Rubing was trying to give them a way out. They didn't know what to say anymore. They stood up with their heads lowered, not daring to say anything else.

"Okay, let's talk about what you found."

"Yes, lord, we found that Liu Zhang has sent people to join the battle, and the number is about 130,000, and there are two famous generals."

When Pound said this, he was obviously a little resentful.

Gu Rubing smiled. He had some understanding of this. A big fish was let go just because of Anluo's reinforcements. No matter who it was, they would feel uncomfortable.

"The Anluo Empire has a lot of people. Our deployment in Liangzhou is nothing to the Anluo Empire. As for Liangzhou, all we can do now is to resist. Therefore, the initiative is not in Taishi Ci's hands. We can't control the situation of the Anluo Empire either. It seems that we still need Anlu's intelligence."

Gu Rubing seemed to be complaining about the lack of intelligence, but in fact he was explaining to Pang De about Taishi Ci's current situation.

Pang De immediately understood what Gu Rubing meant and lowered his head in shame. After all, the unsuccessful siege was his responsibility, and now he even wanted to put the blame for this mistake on Taishi Ci.

"Okay, since the pocket formation has failed, let's prepare for the second battle. Also, call back Wei Yan and Zhang He. This time, we must take Jiaozhou and get rid of Sun Jian once and for all."

"yes!"

"My Lord, the most important thing right now is that we must take over the port of Sihui City. That's where Liu Zhang is sending reinforcements to Sun Jian. As long as we control that place, Liu Zhang's reinforcements won't be able to arrive, and we naturally don't have to worry about those things."

Gu Rubing nodded. Liu Zhang's first wave of reinforcements arrived two days ago. Calculating the round trip time, they still have about thirteen days. They must capture Sihui City within thirteen days.

Thinking of this, Gu Rubing immediately ordered Zhang Liao and others to surround the entire Sihui City.

At this time, 100,000 people from the Anluo Empire gathered in Sihui City. As for the famous generals, they were Trajan and Pompey, Gan Ning, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai. Sun Jian, Sun Quan and Lu Xun, the three of them brought special troops and rushed to Cangwu County in Jiaozhou to prepare for the second line of defense.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Anluo Empire has improved a lot, Sun Jian still feels that they are no match for Gu Rubing and they must form a second line of defense to be more reliable.

Soon, Zhang Liao and his men completed the encirclement, which made Zhou Yu and others who were defending the city somewhat worried.

However, Gu Rubing only surrounded the city and did not attack it. He was waiting for other famous generals under his command to arrive.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Two days later, Wei Yan and Zhang He arrived with the Taishan tiger bandits.

With the addition of these two people and the help of Taishan Tiger Bandits, Gu Rubing became more confident.

Looking at the nearly 200,000 troops outside the city, Zhou Yu became even more panicked. Not only did they have twice as many troops as them, but their combat effectiveness was also much stronger than theirs. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he had no chance of winning.

However, because he was always suppressed by Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu was forced to do so. He was good at finding opportunities to survive in desperate situations.

Looking at the map in front of him, Zhou Yu came up with an idea. Their purpose in Sihui City was not to defend the city, but to wait for the arrival of the fleet in twelve days. As long as the fleet arrived, they could either follow the fleet and return to Sun Jian from other ports, or lead people to break out.

Zhou Yu gathered all his famous generals at a city gate, quietly waiting for Gu Rubing to attack the city.

Soon, Liu Jun's attack horn sounded.

According to the original arrangement, Pang De and Wei Yan attacked the north gate, Zhang He and Zhang Ren attacked the south gate, and Deng Ai and Zhang Liao led the Taishan Tiger Bandits to attack the west gate. Because of the port, Sihui City only had three gates.

With this distribution, Gu Rubing felt that no matter what, the other party would not be his opponent.

But as soon as they fought, Zhou Yu gave Gu Rubing a big surprise.

Pang De and Wei Yan attacked the north gate, which actually gathered five famous generals. As soon as the two sides fought, the two were overwhelmed by the five opponents, while there was not even a famous general at the other city gates.

But there were 40,000 people standing on each of the other two city walls. Even with the help of famous generals, it would definitely not be an easy task for them to capture the city walls guarded by 40,000 people.

Pang De swung his sword and blocked it. When he was about to attack, Gan Ning's ancient ingot sword stabbed at him again.

After finally opening the ancient ingot knife, two more swords stabbed at him. Pang De was a little flustered for a moment. In comparison, Wei Yan was even worse off. He was not hit by anyone at the beginning, but was surrounded by eighteen shadows. Wei Yan could only keep blocking the various sneak attacks around him.

When Gu Rubing saw this situation, he immediately asked Zhang He to come for support.

With Zhang He's support, the pressure on the two was immediately reduced a lot.

After the two sides fought for three hours, their physical strength had reached its limit, and Gu Rubing could only order a retreat.

Watching Gu Rubing and the others leave, Zhou Yu immediately began to calculate how many people were lost this time.

Soon, the results came out. When Zhou Yu saw the results, he couldn't help but take a breath.

A full 20,000 people were killed in just three hours, and one-fifth of them were lost. This was even after they had caught the enemy off guard.

If we continue to consume at this rate, I'm afraid our entire army will be wiped out within five days.

In desperation, Zhou Yu decided to close the city and not go out, just defending without counterattacking.

In comparison, Gu Rubing's side also suffered considerable losses, with a loss of more than 10,000 people. However, such a loss was nothing for an army of 200,000, and it could be said that it was not a big deal.

Early the next morning.

Gu Rubing attacked the city again, but this time Zhou Yu did not try to be clever. Instead, he followed the rules and dispersed all his generals at the three city gates and began to defend the city honestly. No matter who shouted and cursed, he would not open the city gates to fight the enemy.

With this way of defending the city, Gu Rubing found that his losses had actually become greater, while Zhou Yu's losses had actually become less.

Obviously Zhou Yu used the wrong method before.

In the next three days, Gu Rubing's siege team was a little tired, and Zhou Yu's defense team was also a little tired. Under such tug-of-war, the losses on both sides were very small. After a day's loss, there were only a few thousand people.

In this situation where hundreds of thousands of people are attacking a city, if no breakthrough is found, it will be difficult to achieve real victory, whether attacking or defending the city.

Zhou Yu was certainly willing to see this situation, but Gu Rubing was a little annoyed.

Time passed day by day. Now, there were still seven days at most before Liu Zhang's reinforcements arrived. When Liu Zhang learned that the battle situation here was tense, he would definitely speed up, and it might arrive in five days at the fastest. Zhou Yu still had nearly 50,000 men, while he only had about 150,000. If there were no time limit, he could kill him even if he outlasted them.

Zhuge Liang saw that Gu Rubing was in trouble and immediately stepped forward.

"Don't worry, lord. We don't have much time, but Zhou Yu doesn't have many men left. During the time we fought, I have been trying to find out about the situation in the Anluo Empire. I decided to send someone to assassinate Liu Zhang. I believe that Liu Zhang is so timid that he will be scared and will withdraw some of his reinforcements."

"Assassination?"

Gu Rubing hesitated for a moment. If he went to the Anluo Empire to assassinate their king, the assassin would definitely never come back. No matter who was sent to do this, Gu Rubing felt that it was not worth it.

"Don't worry, my lord. We are not completely without people in the Anluo Empire. Our secret lines have been developing for such a long time, so naturally there will be some offline ones."

"Okay, let them go."

Anluo Empire, inside the royal palace.

Liu Zhang was looking at the battle report from the front when a palace maid walked in.
