Facing Li Jun's desperate attack, Sun Jun's defense was impeccable, and the city was not in any danger for the time being.
Regarding this situation, both sides had already expected it in their hearts. If it was really an instant attack, Wei Yan would be afraid of being cheated.
After four days of attack and defense by the two sides, Sun Jun's endurance dropped significantly. Li Jun climbed the tower several times, but it was still very difficult to take the city.
Wei Yan was not in a hurry, anyway, as long as Jiang Xia was taken down, one day earlier and one day later, it didn't mean much, the credit would be the same.
But Zhou Yu is different. He has to find a way to defend, but also to reduce losses, so that the reserves can be used to deal with emergencies after the victory.
Seeing that Li Jun was attacking the city slowly and calmly, Zhou Yu knew that it was meaningless to keep defending, so he decided to give it a go.
On this day, after a day of hard work, Wei Yan had enough to eat and drink, went out to inspect and found nothing wrong, and was about to take off his armor and rest when he returned to the camp, when a news came that made him feel completely sleepy.
"Report! Army commander, the secret sentry at the north gate found that Sun Jun is retreating."
Wei Yan chose to besiege the city with four gates this time, but instead adopted the classic siege, three and one strategy, so that Sun Jun would have hope and would not lose everything.
You must know that most of Jiang Xia's Sun Jun are veterans, and there are many generals. If they are forced to rush, they will die together, and the consequences are not what Wei Yan wants to see.
As for Zhou Yu and the others escaping, Wei Yan didn't care, because they had no territory, and wherever they could escape, they would at most become a group of more powerful rogues.
Wei Yan was deep in thought, trying to figure out what Zhou Yu meant. Lujiang had just been occupied by Zhang Liao, and Wei Yan had just gotten the letter from Feige in the evening, so Zhou Yu should not have heard of it.
With the current battle situation and Zhou Yu's strength, at least ten days and half a month can be fought, and it will not be a problem to hold on for more than a month.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. What kind of tricks is Zhou Yu up to?
Wei Yan thought for a while, and asked Liao Hua to lead his troops to attack and test to see how the city reacted.
After receiving the military order, Liao Hua didn't dare to be careless, he immediately mobilized his army, and approached the tower cautiously.
Originally, it was close to 80 meters outside the city, and arrows would rain down on the city, but now Liao Hua has entered 50 meters, and there is no movement at all. He immediately understood in his heart that Sun Jun might have abandoned the city.
In order to verify the conjecture, Liao Hua let the chariot directly attack the city gate, without Sun Jun's obstruction, the city gate fell to the ground in less than 10 minutes.
As soon as the city gate was broken, Liao Hua led his army to rush into the city and began to occupy some important positions. During the whole process, no Sun Jun appeared.
Liao Hua confirmed in his heart that Zhou Yu must have sent his army back to aid Yangzhou, so he immediately sent someone to notify Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was even more curious when he learned that there was no ambush in the city, but once Bai got the city, he naturally wanted to take it.
After Wei Yan led the army into the city, he was still a little uneasy, and ordered the army to conduct a carpet search to avoid Zhou Yu's arrangement.
Wei Yan really got something out of this search. He found kerosene and other flammable materials in many places in the city, which knocked Zhou Yu out of consciousness.
Since Zhou Yu wanted to set fire to the city, Wei Yan simply followed his will, ordering the clearing of combustibles, and at the same time making smoke rise.
About ten miles outside the city, Zhou Yu was leaning against a haystack to take a nap. Because he was afraid of being discovered, he didn't light a fire. In this season, he couldn't keep warm and couldn't sleep at all.
"Da da da……"
"Huh?" Hearing the footsteps approaching quickly, Zhou Yu opened his eyes and saw that the person who came was Lu Meng, who was on guard, and immediately asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, but Li Jun is chasing you?"
"No." Lu Meng shook his head and said, "Great Governor, cooking smoke is rising in the city."
"This..." In the middle of the night, Li Jun cooks food, which is unreasonable, is it a celebration banquet?
Impossible, Wei Yan is a cautious person, and he will not make a big fuss 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, the general thought that Wei Yan must be holding a celebration banquet, and wanted to raise morale to the highest level, and then set out to pursue our army at dawn."
"Yeah." What Lu Meng said, there is really some truth, if it is true, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Zhou Yu not only arranged a fire plan in the city, but also set up several ambushes outside the city. If Li Jun accidentally hit one of them, he was confident that he would defeat Li Jun and make it impossible for him to advance in a short time.
Originally thought that the fire plan would be useful in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be effective now, Zhou Yu suppressed a trace of joy in his heart.
"Lu Meng, you should always observe the movement in the city. If there is a fire, immediately fight back, and you must inflict heavy damage on Li Jun."
"Yes." Although Lu Meng is young, his intelligence has gradually emerged. He knows the key to this battle and dare not be careless.
Not long after Lu Meng returned to his headquarters, he saw fires burning in the city, which spread and became brighter and brighter.
The fire was burning so quickly that Lu Meng did not doubt that he was there, and immediately led his army to the city, and sent someone to inform Zhou Yu on horseback.
Zhou Yu was also overjoyed to learn that the fire had really started, and immediately ordered all the troops to go out, preparing to take back the city.
When Sun Jun rushed to the city, the fire had already illuminated half of the sky, so the breach of the city was not hindered at all, but there were still two gates, just in time for Li Jun to retreat in embarrassment.
The two sides fought together, Sun Jun thought it was a success, and drove Li Jun in with high morale, but Li Jun was not a vegetarian, so he naturally fought hard to resist.
After an hour of fierce fighting, Li Jun began to lose the enemy and dispersed into the city. Sun Jun took advantage of the victory to hide and kill.
Just as the Sun Jun of the four sects all rushed into the city, countless Li Jun suddenly rushed out from behind, blocking the back road.

Seeing such a scene, Sun Jun had already reacted, all of them were pale, waiting for orders at a loss.
General Sun Jun, after a short period of panic, immediately turned around and wanted to lead the army out.
But since Wei Yan had already prepared, how could he let the tiger go back to the mountain again? The guards of each gate, except for the north and south gates, were led by Huang Xu and Wei Yan to intercept them, and more than two generals were arranged for the rest.
As long as Sun Jun entered the city, there was absolutely no hope of breaking out again. He had to fight bloody or surrender.
The news of the ambush spread to Zhou Yu who was waiting outside the city, causing him to vomit blood anxiously. If all these troops are lost here, then there is really no hope at all.
Zhou Yu felt extremely regretful, if he had known earlier, he would not have taken the risk, at least he could delay for some time to wait for the change.
Right now, the result is doomed.
Glancing at the unconscious Sun Ce lying next to him, Zhou Yu murmured to himself, "Bo Fu, wake up, Yangzhou is over, all your hard work and mine are over..."
Talking to himself for a while to vent, Zhou Yu looked at the guards who were left guarding less than a thousand people, and said slowly: "You go your separate ways, run for your lives."
Those who can guard the two are usually cronies. After hearing Zhou Yu's words, they all knelt down and sobbed softly.
"If I don't leave, I will be where the governor and the lord are, even if it means death."
"Yes, I can't wait to leave, and I am willing to follow to the death."
……
follow?
Looking at these loyal soldiers, Zhou Yu couldn't bear it even more, because he knew that if he brought these people along, he would be endlessly besieged by Li Jun, and in the end he would just lose his life in vain.
