Chapter 222

November 28, approaching the winter of December.

On this day, drums outside the city thundered.

The black army, arrayed outside AI County, is full of the spirit of killing.

In front of the battle, Zhou Yu was wearing armor and sword. He rode on a horse, squinting at Ai county. In a hurry, Zhou Yu arrived outside AI County in the shortest time.

The formation of fifteen thousand troops has added to the enormous momentum.

On the tower, Liu Xiu's eyes also fell on the army line outside the city. When he got the news, he knew that Zhou Yu had led 15000 soldiers to kill him, 5000 more than him. But Liu Xiu occupied the city, occupied the advantage of geographical advantage, even if Zhou Yu strong troops, it is not likely to be able to take advantage of anything.

Standing at the foot of the city, Zhou Yu said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, you are already a turtle in a jar. If you surrender now, I will spare your life. At the same time, I will play the master. Please marry Shangxiang to you. "

"Ha ha ha..."

Liu xiulang laughed and said confidently: "brother Gongjin, I'm stationed in AI county. How can I say that there is a turtle in a jar? But you came all the way from Chaisang. Chaisang has no army to guard. Aren't you afraid of a fire in the backyard? I believe that there will be people willing to attack Chaisang. "

With a smile on his face, Zhou Yu said without hesitation: "do you think the governor will not consider Chaisang's safety when he goes out to fight? You want to attack Chaisang with the help of Huang Zu's power. That's wishful thinking. "

After a pause, Zhou Yu said in a fierce voice: "young master Xiu is trapped in AI County, and his back road is cut off by the governor's troops. Now, it is impossible for xiugongzi to withdraw Xiajun county from AI county. The troops in xiugongzi's hands are already a lonely army. It's impossible for the 10000 people in your hands to fight to the end. "

Liu Xiu was surprised when he heard that Zhou Yu had sent troops to cut off his retreat.

This move not only hit the morale, but also cut off Liu Xiu's retreat.

If Liu Xiu didn't set up the situation early, he might be in trouble.

With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu took a breath and said, "brother Gongjin cut off my back road just to cut off my grain road. But did you forget that there was food in AI county? AI county has enough grain to support two or three months. Is brother Gongjin going to stay outside the city for two or three months? Brother Gongjin, have you forgotten the situation in the south of Yuzhang county? The situation in the South will not last for two or three months. "

Take advantage of the situation to fight back.

Zhou Yu had a sharp look in his eyes and hummed: "Sun Ben went south to resist Huang Zhong. He can't fail."

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "but Sun Ben is defeated! Today's sun Ben, under the command of ten thousand troops lost, was forced to retreat to Shiyang county. Huang Zhong leads the commander to drive straight in, and soon he will defeat sun Ben and sweep the south. "

This news is the war report Liu Xiu just got in the morning.

Unexpectedly, the confrontation with Zhou Yu brought the latest news back from Huang Zhong into use.

Zhou Yu brushed his sleeves, carried his hands, and said in a loud voice: "no matter what the situation in the south is, as long as the governor strangles you or takes AI County, you will surely die. If you are captured or killed, even if Huang Zhong wins, the Jingzhou army's offensive in Yuzhang county will soon disappear. "

Liu Xiu said: "in that case, I'm waiting for the governor to attack the city, waiting for the governor to take the official."

At this time, Liu Xiu stopped talking.

After a dialogue with Zhou Yu, Liu Xiu got the corresponding information and confused Zhou Yu. That's enough.

Outside the city, Zhou Yu was silent. For the time being, he hasn't heard from sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture. Although he said that he would win as long as he won Liu Xiu, he was still worried.

"Withdraw, and the army will camp."

Zhou Yu ordered that instead of attacking the city immediately, he stationed outside the city.

The army arranged by Zhou Yu formed a situation of encirclement, three and one shortage, which left Liu Xiu a passage to the north gate and gave Liu Xiu a chance to lead his soldiers to withdraw from the north gate. However, perhaps the place Liu Yu left behind was the ambush.

The barracks will be built, and the Chinese army will have a big account.

Zhou Yu, Ling Tong and Lu Meng sat down. Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "do you have the latest news about sun Ben?"

Lu Meng shook his head and said, "governor, not yet."

Zhou Yu's face was gloomy. At this time, there was a sound of footwork outside the tent.

"Newspaper!"

The soldier yelled, then lifted the curtain of the barracks door and went into the barracks, reporting: "governor of Dadu, sun Taishou of Yuzhang County, has news back."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and immediately took the letter. Open the letter, Zhou Yu quickly read all the news, his face suddenly gloomy.

He slapped his hands on the desk and wanted to curse his mother.

Ten thousand troops lost, sun Ben really fled to Shiyang County garrison.

The news made Zhou Yu rather difficult to deal with. In Zhou Yu's plan, if sun Ben can't win, then maintaining a stalemate is the best result.

Unexpectedly, sun Ben took the initiative to fight, so that he was defeated.Seeing this, LV Meng looked worried and asked, "governor of Dadu, is sun Taishou really defeated?"

"No! Liu Xiu's words are true. "

Zhou Yu's face was black and he was very depressed.

Ling Cao looked serious and said: "the defeat of sun Taishou means that our army can no longer confront Liu Xiu. Otherwise, the situation in the South will worsen and Huang Zhong will move his army northward after he wins in the south. We're going to get caught in a trap. Governor, we must attack the city as soon as possible. "

Zhou Yu's eyes twinkled, thinking about the solution to the war.

A moment later, Zhou Yu said, "to attack AI County by force is the best policy. If you don't have to, don't take the strategy of attacking AI County by force. The army will rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, the governor will try Liu Xiu again. If Liu Xiu can be forced to take the initiative, that is the best result. No more sieges. "

"How to test?" Ling Tong had a curious look in his eyes.

Zhou Yu said, "cheat him!"

However, Zhou Yu didn't say it in detail, and Ling Tong didn't ask again.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yu led his troops to the city again.

Liu Xiu stood on the tower, looking at the array of troops under Zhou Yu's command, but he did not attack. He was puzzled. Liu Xiu said in a loud voice: "brother Gongjin, you are leading tens of thousands of soldiers to come here, but you don't attack the city. Are you trying to scare me? Ha ha ha... "

Huang Hu, Deng Zhan and others also laughed.

Zhou Yu was calm and said, "last night, the governor gave an order to send 5000 soldiers to Changsha County. The governor was thinking, "if you county falls, can you still sit in AI county?"

"Oh, I'm so scared!"

Liu Xiu made a look of fear and said in a loud voice, "brother Gongjin, I'm afraid of you."

The strange appearance made Zhou Yu frown.

Zhou Yu tried to test whether Liu Xiu had a garrison in you county.

If Liu Xiu pours out, he will panic when he learns about Zhou Yu's division. Then he will take the initiative to attack Zhou Yu and relieve the pressure of you county. If Liu Xiu left his soldiers to guard, he would not worry.

At that time, Zhou Yu can only attack by force.

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "don't worry, Mr. Xiu. In fact, the governor is bluffing you. The governor's army is all here. How can you send troops to attack you county? "

My heart is beating. Brother Gongjin, don't make a joke any more. What if I can't help getting out of town? "

On hearing this, Zhou Yu thought that Liu Xiu must have left someone to guard him.

Otherwise, it's no joke.

Liu Xiu sneered in his heart. He led the army to fight. How could he not leave the army to guard you county? You county is Liu Xiu's hometown. Once it is taken away, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhou Yu realized that it was impossible to cheat Liu Xiu. He took a deep breath and held the sword handle in his right hand.

"Sonorous!"

Like the sound of the dragon, the shining sword stands in the air.

Zhou Yu said in a high voice, "attack the city!" Under the command, the Jiangdong army began to surge forward and launched a fierce siege. Ling Tong and Lu Meng took the lead and then launched an attack.

"Dong! Dong

The roar of war drums resounded through the battlefield.

Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers roared and killed AI county.

Seeing that Zhou Yu began to attack the city, Liu Xiu knew that Zhou Yu could not send troops to attack you county. What he said just now is just Zhou Yu cheating him. Liu Xiu immediately ordered the counterattack, and the garrison on the tower moved quickly.
