Sun CE stayed in the sun family's manor for a day, and then returned to the army.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are now soft footed shrimps. When Zhang Yu starts to attack, they must be under great pressure.
Sun CE called Zhou Yu.
"Zhang Yu's attack is just around the corner. Even if we don't attack, we'll be very upset for a month or two. Now, we don't even have the confidence to fight a decisive battle." Sun CE sighed.
Zhou Yu can feel sun CE's deep depression.
Sun CE is a proud man, but now he is forced to do so.
"I'll go up to the city and have a look."
When sun CE finished, he left without waiting for Zhou Yu to say anything.
On the top of the city, the soldiers were loyal to their duties, but Sun CE found that their condition was not good.
Lack of salt has never been taken seriously before.
This is also because Zhang Yu controlled the salt.
His sea salt is monopolized by his family, so it can only be purchased through him.
Then because of the war, the price of salt more than doubled, resulting in insufficient reserves, and then Zhang Yu sent people to burn all the salt.
In this case, the situation is serious. There is a large-scale lack of salt. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the city have no salt to eat, and the problem has been exposed.
The soldiers didn't have the strength to fight.
Sun CE looked out of the city. The army outside the city was busy. They wanted to fill the moat. Then they would attack.
Once the attack, this group of soft soldiers, can block it?
Sun CE already knew the ending, but he was not reconciled.
He even thought of surrender, but he was not reconciled.
After a tour of the city, the soldiers were lifeless and powerless.
If it was another time, sun CE would beat them hard, but not now. It's not the soldier's fault, it's his own fault.
Two days later, Zhang Yu had filled up the moat.
Fill up the moat and the battle is about to begin.
Zhang Yu asked people to prepare.
When Zhang Yu was preparing, Cao Cao and Cai Mao were also very anxious.
The situation did not exceed their expectations.
Zhang Yu drove all the way in, and then occupied several places. After that, the offensive slowed down and began to slowly build his logistics base.
After the logistics base is ready, it will attack slowly.
On that day, Cao Cao called several of his confidants and Cao ang.
After a period of cultivation, Cao Cao's body is much better, but now he still leaves many things to Cao ang.
"Zhang Yu has surrounded the city of Changsha, which may last for a year and a half, but we can't rule out accidents. If we help from the side, if this city of Changsha can last for two years, Zhang Yu will have a relatively big problem. He will not be able to march to the West for at least three to five years." Said Cao Cao.
According to the calculation, if sun CE's 500000 troops and Zhang Yu want to break through Changsha City, and if they are so far away, they have to devote their national strength.
With the cost of hundreds of thousands of troops and the loss, Zhang Yu filled in 400000 to 800000 troops.
The loss of these troops, together with all kinds of wastage, will definitely lead to the exhaustion of our national strength, and we will not be able to recover within three to five years.
When Cao Cao finished, Cheng Yu said: "Lord, this Zhang Yu is not easy to deal with. He has been on guard in Yanzhou. Let Gao Shun be stationed directly. We first mobilize the army to threaten Zhang Yu, and then we can only slowly find opportunities."
In fact, everyone has doubts, and is afraid that something will happen. This Zhang Yu can always do a lot of strange things.
They have to be careful, and even don't believe that Zhang Yu has no backhand.
"We must join forces, or Changsha will not last long. The longer they persist, the more opportunities we have. Now we are struggling to maintain a million troops. We must vigorously reform and develop to deal with Zhang Yu's threat." Cao Cao directly set the tone, people can only plan in this way.
Several people began to plan to send troops in two ways.
Jia Xu said: "let Cai Mao send troops to Zhangyu logistics base, let the fleet in Dongting Lake activities, even if not win, it can greatly slow down Zhangyu's offensive, and we also send troops in the north and the central region, even if it is confrontation, it will give Zhangyu a great burden."
Cao Cao and others agreed to send troops to interfere with Zhang Yu.
However, this can not be done in a short time. It is not a simple matter to coordinate Cai Mao.
Cao Cao immediately sent someone to contact Cai Mao.
And Zhang Yu here, has begun to attack.
After the moat was filled up, Zhang Yu's Army started.
After the army launched, all kinds of siege equipment were pushed up.
There is no riprap truck. I don't want to use it for the moment.
"Let the soldiers keep attacking with high intensity and fight for two days first to see the situation."
Zhang Yu led 300000 troops to attack.
Tens of thousands of Fusang troops have been allocated to each of the four gates, and they will take the lead.
With the Fusang army, the generals are more bold to use it.
Dian Wei is most excited. He hasn't played well for several months.
The armies are moving.
"Attack."
At Zhang Yu's command, several troops began to attack.
At the beginning of the attack, a group of troops who had been holding back for a long time tried their best to attack.
The young generals even took people directly to the city.
The archers under the city are not afraid of death.
The high morale of the whole army is very rare.
The army had a very strong fighting capacity from the very beginning.
Less than half an hour after opening the station, some soldiers even climbed to the top of the city, but they were soon driven down.
On the top of the city, sun CE and other senior officials went to the top of the city to check.
Sun CE turned blue.
"The morale of the enemy is so high that we think it will be a year and a half. We are optimistic." Sun CE said in a low voice that only a few generals like Zhou Yu and Huang Gai could hear.
Zhou Yu carefully observed that no matter how resourceful he was, he was in a dilemma.
"Our soldiers have been without salt for a long time, which has greatly affected their combat effectiveness."
I didn't see it at the beginning of the fight. Under the stimulation, the soldiers still have a high fighting capacity.
However, after about half an hour, the situation was exposed.
The archer didn't have the strength to pull the bowstring. He just shot a few arrows, but he didn't have the strength.
It was very serious and the attack slowed down immediately.
Many problems were exposed in the city, and sun CE sent several generals to deal with them on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the lack of salt was so serious.
A large number of soldiers have no strength because of lack of salt.
Because they have no strength to carry stones and roll wood, they are much slower. If they use arrows, they have no strength after pulling bows and arrows several times, so they have to replace them.
However, after a new group of people, the situation is still the same.
When they were replaced, they immediately gave the army under the city an opportunity to break through the city several times.
But in the end, they all failed and were driven down.
The situation is not optimistic. They lost a lot in half a day.
Zhang Yu was very surprised. He didn't expect that the result would be so good.
