Sima Yi and Pang Tong all went into the battlefield except for the troops guarding the city, and their attacks were too fierce.

Within one day, three cities in the Eastern Wu in Yuzhang County were captured and countless fortifications were destroyed. The Eastern Wu had sufficient troops in Yuzhang County and fought to the death, but he could not stop Liu's army's attack regardless of casualties.

The general who guarded Yuzhang of the Eastern Wu was originally Zhou Tai, but Lu Su and Lu Xun had another task to Zhou Tai, and handed over his important task to Zhu Heng, who came from the Eastern Wu family.

As mentioned above, although Zhu Heng was born in a noble family, he was 100% loyal to Sun Ce and Dongwu. However, loyalty cannot fully represent his ability.

Faced with the joint efforts of two great strategists Sima Yi and Pang Tong, Zhu Heng's ability was a bit insufficient.

Liu Jun's offensive methods emerged one after another, and all kinds of formations, strategies and strategies were used. He was not afraid of losses and casualties. Zhu Heng tried his best to reverse his defeat.

After losing three cities in a row, Zhu Heng had to retreat to Yongxin City, exchange space for time, and restructure the defense line.

Zhu Heng also saw that Sima Yi and Pang Tong were determined to win Yuzhang County, so he immediately issued an order to the entire Yuzhang that people were in the city, people were killed, and the whole nation would fight against Liu Jun. No one had to hesitate at all and had no contact with Liu Jun, and fight to the end! Those who violated the order would be killed without mercy!

Yuzhang County is a county bordering the Eastern Wu and the Shenwu court. Over the years, fighting broke out here between the Eastern Wu and the Shenwu courts. Even in the most peaceful period, Yuzhang had many small-scale battles.

Liu Jun once occupied most of Yuzhang's city. However, due to temporary negligence, Sun Ce even asked someone to take Yuzhang County back.

Since the Shenwu court's policies are more beneficial to ordinary people, the people prefer to live under the Shenwu court and have no good impression of the return of the Eastern Wu. If it were not for the Chinese nation's hometown that has existed since ancient times, the people of Yuzhang County might have fled to Chaisang.

In order to curb the people's escape, Sun Ce killed many people. The people were afraid of death. The people in Yuzhang County hoped that the Shenwu court could come as soon as possible and destroy the Eastern Wu. Before Sun Ce claimed that the founding of the country, the local people had always dreamed that they could live under the rule of the Shenwu court and live and work in peace. Now that today, Zi Yu led the army to fight in person, their dreams would soon come true.

When the war ends sooner, the people will be happy.

It is such a mass base. It is impossible for the Eastern Wu general Zhu Heng to let the people resist Liu Jun with all their hearts and strengths.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong were able to capture three cities within one day because of the secret support of the people.

The people did not have many opportunities to help Liu Jun. They were timid and afraid of being settled by the Eastern Wu, and they did not dare to be the leader. At most, they would not help defend the city when siege.

And this is enough!

Without the strong men as logistics, the strength of the Eastern Wu troops guarding the city was greatly reduced.

It was because Zhu Heng saw this that he issued such an order. The people secretly supported Liu Jun, so Zhu Heng would cut off their thoughts.

The decisive Zhu Heng directly asked the defenders in various places to implement a system of joint seats. The whole family was unwilling to serve the government and the army, and the street was in trouble.

It's true that such measures are really useful.

Under high-pressure policies, the people have supervised others in disguise for their lives and interests.

It can only be said that Zhu Heng found a solution without any means, but he greatly lost the hearts of the people of Yuzhang County.

Zhu Heng's methods have strengthened Yu Zhang's defense a lot, and it can only delay the attack speed of Liu's army led by Sima Yi and Pang Tong.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong conquered a new city, and the losses this time were much greater than before.

The keen Pang Tong immediately realized something was wrong. Through observation, Pang Tong found that the strong men who did not appear in the first three cities had appeared now. So Pang Tong looked for the surviving people and learned from them the orders of Zhu Heng.

"Good guy, this Zhu Heng is a character!" Pang Tong immediately praised Zhu Heng.

Then Pang Tong found Sima Yi, and the two of them issued a counter-order against Zhu Heng's order to defend himself.

The order is like this: all the troops under their command shall not attack unarmed people. Those who open the city gates and give up the resistance shall not blame them in the past and shall not violate them. Those who lead their subordinates to submit their interests shall not seize their military power and shall retain their original positions. Those who resist desperately shall only punish the evil ones.

It was just these simple countermeasures that demonstrated the style of the king's army, which made the wind direction of Yuzhang County instantly turn towards Liu Jun.

The people were relieved. Even if they were helping to defend the city, they would not give them any weapons. Even if they were captured, they would not make things difficult for them. The king also promised that they would not be offended and that the family would be at ease.

The soldiers of the Eastern Wu army also felt much more relaxed. Even if they defended them tightly and finally the city was broken, they just killed the big head and had nothing to do with the army. Some soldiers even hoped that their peak could lead them to join the Shenwu court. For nothing else, I heard that the military pay of ordinary soldiers in the Shenwu court was much higher than that of their Eastern Wu, and their status among the people was also very high. In the Eastern Wu, many soldiers had only heard of military pay, but had never seen it. It would be very good to be able to fill their stomachs. And they also had to worry about whether the generals would drink blood from soldiers and seize food. In comparison, the soldiers of the Eastern Wu began to have strange thoughts.

The generals were a little embarrassed. For Liu Jun’s policies that only by surrender can they ensure their lives and death.

In addition, the soldiers and the people have other ways out, so the people in this unit are a bit disintegrating and difficult to lead.

The generals did not have any abnormal movements on the surface, but deep down they were thinking what would their families get if they really sacrificed their lives? So some generals began to have ideas in their minds.

Zhu Heng may not have expected that his order would be exploited by others in turn. By the time he truly understood his mistake, it was already too late.

With Sima Yi and Pang Tong's attack on Yuzhang County, the situation in Eastern Wu became tense.

Lu Su immediately sent reinforcements to Yuzhang County. He knew that once there was any mistake in Yuzhang County, Liu's army would directly attack the border of Poyang County, and would be more likely to bypass the natural barrier of Poyang Lake and go south to attack the hinterland of the Eastern Wu from Linchuan County.

Before, Sima Yi and Pang Tong were unable to break Yuzhang because of insufficient troops and the Eastern Wu could deal with it with all their strength. The situation is different now. The biggest pressure on the Eastern Wu is that the Shenwu court entrenched in Shouchun and there is no army southward. How could there be nearly 100,000 troops!

Lu Su understood that Liu Jun's intention was to let these current troops clear the obstacles first and consume the strength of the Eastern Wu. When the Eastern Wu was consumed almost the same, all kinds of obstacles were eliminated, and the army behind the palace rushed over at one time and swallowed the Eastern Wu in one go.

This is an open conspiracy, and he uses his strength to drag the Eastern Wu to death.

The only hope for victory in the Eastern Wu is the strategy of Lu Su and Lu Xun. Once successful, the Eastern Wu will win a great victory, and you can have years of peace, or even a little more risky, you can enter the Central Plains and expand your strength and territory.

But now for the Eastern Wu and Lu Su, the time is not yet ripe. What the Eastern Wu needs to do is to stabilize and endure, and seize the opportunity to take a fatal blow.

Lu Su chose to persevere and endure, but Liu Jun did not seem to give him such a chance.

Zhang Liao launched a very rapid attack on Wankou. The Eastern Wu general Lu Fan continued to retreat, retreating to the only port city of Wankou.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? If this continues, the Wankou will be lost!" Lu Fan kept praying that the reinforcements sent by the base camp could arrive earlier.

The Eastern Wu soldiers in Wankou are almost collapsed now. The murderous aura of Liu Jun soldiers has already made them afraid. However, the promised reinforcements have not appeared, and the morale of the soldiers has dropped to the lowest level.

"Haha! The Eastern Wu is just like this! I will give it to me! Take down the Wankou!" After a fierce battle, Zhang Liao found that the Eastern Wu troops were not much stronger.

Zhang Liao personally took the battle and led his soldiers to attack Wankou.

Lu Fan looked at the majestic Zhang Liao and knew that he could not defend Wankou anymore, thinking in his heart whether he would give up.

At this time, a large number of ships appeared on the river, and the flag on the ship was the word "Jiang". Jiang Xin arrived in time with five thousand soldiers.

Wankou Port is very close to Poyang Lake, the headquarters of the Eastern Wu Naval Army. If it is lost, then Liu's army will have a certain deterrence to the Eastern Wu Naval Army in Poyang Lake. This is why Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to lead 10,000 troops and horses, and also asked Cao Ren to take 30,000 troops and horses to press on. Logically speaking, Jiang Xin should have arrived at Wankou one earlier, so why did Jiang Xin come late at this critical moment?

Before Jiang Xin joined Sun Ce's camp, she was a big thief, specializing in robbing passing merchant ships. Jiang Xin, who knew the water war, prepared a lot of good things to ensure that she could defend Wankou.

"The reinforcements have arrived!" Lu Fan was very encouraged when he saw Jiang Xin's banner and almost burst into tears.

Zhang Liao also discovered the arrival of the Eastern Wu naval army, and he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

This uneasiness is not because Zhang Liao is afraid, but because Zhang Liao feels that the Eastern Wu naval army coming to support Ankou will cause huge casualties to Zhang Liao.

Jiang Xin stood at the bow of the ship, estimated the distance between Zhang Liao's troops on the land, and said to his deputy general: "Let me show off my power crossbow and shoot at the land ducks!"

The powerful crossbow is Jiang Xin carefully prepared a weapon.

Jiang Xin's navy lit up the powerful crossbow, and all the crossbow arrows were facing upward at 45 degrees. Then, under the order of Jiang Xin, they were all fired out.

"It's a powerful crossbow! Retreat!" Zhang Liao saw the crossbow arrows that looked like locusts in the sky, and immediately issued a retreat order.

However, it was still a little late, and many Liu Jun soldiers were shot and killed by force crossbows.

The powerful crossbows of the Eastern Wu naval army have always been a huge weapon for the Eastern Wu to compete with Liu's army. Due to its huge lethality and penetration, they are generally used in water wars between ships. Jiang Xin used the attacks of ships against land forces, which was beyond the expectations of others.

The crossbow arrows like javelin nailed the Liu Jun soldiers who could not retreat to the ground. The Liu Jun soldiers who were shot kept wailing, and the huge wounds made them know that they could not survive.

"Escape quickly!" Even though Zhang Liao was very angry, there was no way to solve the problem in front of him. He could only lead the troops attacking Wankou to retreat.

Before leaving, Zhang Liao had to abandon some of the Liu Jun soldiers who were not dead yet, because Jiang Xin's next wave of crossbow arrows poured down again. The Liu Jun soldiers who were nailed to the ground were really unable to save them even if the Daluo god descended to earth.

Zhang Liao secretly hated him. He hated the viciousness of the Eastern Wu navy and his carelessness, and did not count such variables.

"Jiang Xin, right! Please wait for me!" Zhang Liao said a harsh sentence and retreated directly with the soldiers.

When Cao Ren's 30,000 troops arrived, Zhang Liao vowed that Jiang Xin must be good-looking. As for the guardian Lu Fan of Wankou, he was automatically ignored by Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao just saw the other party's banner and knew that the guardian's surname was Lu, but he didn't know the others at all. Anyway, they were all dispensable little shrimps.

Poor Lu Fan is considered the number one figure in Eastern Wu, but in Zhang Liao's eyes, he is a little shrimp. It's so sad.

It doesn't matter to Lu Fan. It would be great to be able to save his life in Zhang Liao's hands.

As soon as he saw Zhang Liao retreating, Lu Fan cheered even more, and Wankou City was finally saved. However, for the sake of caution, Lu Fan did not go out of the city to pursue him.

"It's better to be more conservative, wait until General Jiang enters the city!" Lu Fan felt that his choice was the safest.

However, Jiang Xin on the warship saw that Lu Fan did not leave the city to pursue him, so Zhang Liao could evacuate calmly. He was so angry that he jumped up and cursed: "Why don't you go out of the city to pursue him!"

No matter how Jiang Xin shouted, Lu Fan could not hear it.

When Zhang Liao completely disappeared from Jiang Xin's eyes, Jiang Xin could only sigh.

When Jiang Xin's naval army arrived at Wankou, Lu Fan came out with his troops and horses with a look of glory.

"The last general Lu Fan will meet General Jiang!" Lu Fan wanted to thank Jiang Xin for his support.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xin cursed at him: "You are the commander of Wankou, Lu Fan! You are such a waste. I caught Zhang Liao off guard just now, and Liu Jun's morale has greatly reduced. Why don't you go out of the city to pursue him? As long as you drag Zhang Liao down, I will have a few more waves of crossbow arrows, and Zhang Liao will be dead!"

Lu Fan was scolded and sweated in his sweat, and he directly defended himself: "General, the last general was repelled by Zhang Liao's troops, with heavy casualties, and the soldiers were depressed and unable to..."

"Bastard!" Jiang Xin shouted loudly, wanting to slap Lu Fan in the face.

For the generals, what else can you fight if you fear the enemy?

Lu Fan was also scolded so much that he dared not look up.

Jiang Xin snorted coldly and said, "Let's record this matter for now and settle the score with you in the future!"
Chapter completed!
