As Lu Xun guessed, Zhuge Liang had no intention of sending troops to ambush the Jiangdong Army. Lu Xun was also a young commander who was good at fighting, and his surprise might not be able to hide it from him.

Instead of using a surprise weapon to win, it is better to defeat him with the right way. Zhuge Liang decided to stick to the new Wucheng, take advantage of the weakness of the Jiangdong Army's logistics supply difficulties, and finally drag down the Jiangdong Army.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had received the news of the investigation. The main force of the Jiangdong Army was still ten miles away from the city and was resting. Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled at Guan Yu: "This shows that Lu Xun is also a cautious person. He would rather slow down than siege the city in a hurry."

Guan Yu suggested: "Military advisors, the so-called right and strange complement are the kingly way to win. Since the military advisors use the right way, why don't they launch a surprise force and move around the periphery?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled, "Chen Yun's suggestion is just my wish, so let this opportunity be left to young people."

He ordered people to come to Guan Xing and Zhang Bao and told them: "I will give you a thousand troops. You can bring ten days of dry food to the periphery of the city. Don't attack the enemy easily. You must follow my tips."

After saying that, Zhuge Liang handed the two men a piece of gift bag and smiled and said, "After leaving the city, look at the gift bag of Guan Xianxian. When the time is right, look at the gift bag of Zhang Xianxian. I wish the two men a piece of gift bag to make new contributions."

The two were overjoyed, received the secret bag, bowed to Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, and went down to the city to order troops. Soon, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao led a thousand people to leave Xinwu County from Xicheng and ran northwest. Guan Yu looked at the two of them on the top of the city, and couldn't help but worry, "I wonder if they can compete with Lu Xun."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Yun Chang, the father has no dog, I believe they will not disappoint us."

At Ganjiang Wharf, Nanchang County, a passenger ship slowly landed on the dock, and several guests got on the shore. This was a entourage accompanied a middle-aged man. After the man got on the shore, he came directly to the Jiangdong Army barracks and bowed to the sentry in front of the gate and said, "I am from Wujun. May I ask Governor Lu, I am his family."

After a moment, an officer on duty quickly walked out and smiled and said, "Is this gentleman looking for my governor?"

"That's right, Lu Ming, is the uncle of Governor Lu. He came from Wujun and found Governor Lu for urgent matters. May I ask him if he is here."

"Governor Lu is not in Nanchang now and has led his army to Xinwu County. Can the sir wait for him to come back? He will be back in ten days at the latest."

"It's going to be ten days"

The middle-aged man showed anxiety on his face, and turned around and whispered to another slightly younger man: "He is not here, he is in Xinwu County, should we wait for him to come back?"

The young man said coldly: "The situation is urgent, and Wujun can't wait."

The middle-aged man had no choice but to turn around and bow, "We have something urgent to do, so let's go to Xinwu County, thank you for your clear instructions."

A few people left the pier and rented a few horses to the mule and horse shop not far away. They turned over and ran westward. The officers on duty were a little confused. What happened to be like this in a hurry.

He lowered his head and thought about it. He had to report this to Wuhou. He immediately walked towards the large ship docked by the dock. Sun Quan's huge boat of five thousand stones was moored on the dock, standing among several warships like a hill. In the cabin, Sun Quan paced back and forth with his hands on his back. He turned around and asked the officer on duty, "Can you be Lu Xun's uncle?"

"I have never met Governor Lu's uncle before. People come to say that his name is Lu Ming, and he is Governor Lu's uncle."

"Lu Ming"

Sun Quan raised his head and thought about it, suddenly remembered it, and asked the officer, "Is there a big black mole on the nose?"

“It’s right”

"It seems that it's him." Sun Quan said to himself, "What did he come to Yuzhang County to do at this time?"

The reason why Sun Quan remembered this Lu Ming was because he was the enlightened master of his nephew Sun Shao and was one of the famous scholars in Wu County. Sun Quan remembered the information sent by his spies. There were many wealthy gentry and Sun clan members in Wu County supporting Sun Shao in inheriting his father's business, including the Lu family. The so-called Sun Shao's inheritance of his father's business was actually replacing himself.

A sense of anger arose from Sun Quan's heart. His fists slowly clenched. He refused to order an attack on Xinwu County. It was because he heard the news that he was a little worried about Lu Xun. He was his eldest brother's son-in-law and Sun Shaonei's brother. Will he support Sun Shao?

This time Lu Ming came to Lu Xun and said that there was an urgent matter, and why Sun Quan's suspicion became even stronger. At this time, he turned around and asked the officer on duty and said, "Who is the young man with Lu Ming? Is Sun Shao?"

The officer on duty shook his head quickly, "Shao Gong Beizhi has met him, he is not, but he also has a Wujun accent, and looks like a soldier. He also said that the situation is urgent, and Wujun can't wait. Although the voice is small, Beizhi still hears it."

A chill broke out from Sun Quan's back, and he was almost 80% sure that Lu Ming and this young man came to Lu Xun for the sake of Sun Shao, perhaps because they wanted to instigate Lu Xun. You must know that Lu Xun had 50,000 troops in his hands, and once he turned to support Sun Shao, he would be in danger.

The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more frightened he became. If he couldn't do it, he had to recall Lu Xun and seize his military power. At this moment, he defeated the Jiaozhou army and regained Jingnan. The important thing was to keep his position. Sun Quan immediately took out his gold medal, but he hesitated for a moment. If he used the gold medal, Lu Xun would be vigilant. Sun Quan replaced it with a command arrow on the table and handed it to a guard and said, "You go to Xinwu County immediately, without explaining anything, so that Lu Xun will return to the army immediately."

"Abide by the order"

The guard took the order arrow and hurriedly left. Sun Quan took a few steps behind his hands and finally took out the gold medal. He ordered: "Go and find Zhou Tai."

After a moment, Zhou Tai rushed over and bowed to salute, "See Wu Hou"

Sun Quan handed him the gold medal and said, "I have sent my personal soldiers to call Lu Xun back. I am worried that he will resist the order and refuse to obey the order. If this is true, you can use the gold medal to directly seize his military power and lead the army to retreat immediately."

Zhou Tai was shocked, "Wu Hou, why... is this?"

Sun Quan said coldly: "Don't ask for the reason, execute my order."

"Abide by the orders of low-level duties" Zhou Tai had no choice but to take over the gold medal and leave in a hurry.

Sun Quan said to another guard general: "You can lead the cavalry to Xinwu County, catch up with Lu Ming and his group, and capture them for me."

The guard general bowed and left. Sun Quan looked out the window with his hands and said to himself coldly, "Boyan, I trust you very much, but your family disappointed me."

The siege in Xinwu County has been on the fifth day. The war is getting stronger and stronger. The sound of drums of dongdong are like thunder and the sound of killing is shocking. Ten thousand Jiangdong soldiers rushed towards Dongcheng and Nancheng in black. They carried the siege ladders on the shelves and the offensive is like a tide. The southern and eastern sections of the moat under Xinwu County have been filled with sandbags by Jiangdong military. Without the obstruction of the moat, the Jiangdong army's attack is even sharper.

When the Jiangdong Army rushed into the stairs, twenty catapults on the top of the city began to fire. The winch turned and the throwing rod was thrown out. The huge rocks rose into the air and roared towards the dense Jiangdong army crowd. The huge rocks landed on the ground, stirring up a piece of dust. The huge rocks rolled on the ground. The Jiangdong army soldiers screamed and scattered, but many people were still hit by the huge rocks and broke their bones and died tragically on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the second round of huge rocks hit, and many soldiers were smashed into meat pie, with limbs flying, brain rupture, and pungent blood mist filled the air.

There are also bed crossbows, which are mainly targeted at huge siege weapons such as nest vehicles and cloud ladders. However, this time, no large siege weapons appeared in the Jiangdong army, which made the bed crossbows useless and could only be fired in the distance with the catapult.

Four-foot-long arrows shot out several steps, with amazing power, shooting through the shield formation of the Jiangdong Army. Behind each huge shield, several people were shot through their bodies by long arrows.

The morale of the Jiangdong Army was not high. The tragic attacks of huge rocks and long arrows made many people feel chilled, and some people began to turn around and flee back to the military camp.

Lu Xun stood on a two-meter-high wooden platform, personally pressed the formation and commanded the battle. When he saw more than a thousand soldiers fleeing in the south city, he was furious and turned around and ordered: "Ship the judges in the army to carry out the axe and practice the law, and those who escaped will be killed."

Lu Xun arranged five law enforcement soldiers, who used their sharp battle axe to supervise the law enforcement. Under Lu Xun's order, the law enforcement soldiers started killing, killed Shangming's escaped soldiers, picked up their heads, and shouted: "If anyone dares to escape, behead them on the spot."

Under the bloody killing of law enforcement soldiers, the soldiers who fled back had to go back to the battlefield and ran to the top of the city. The sound of war drums was fierce, and the huge rock attack could not stop the attack of the soldiers of the Jiangdong army. The Jiangdong soldiers, like an ant swarm, rushed to the city, and siege ladders began to erect.

The defenders at the city were prepared for a long time. When the enemy rushed into the storm, ten thousand defenders at the city shot arrows at the same time, and even their crossbows fired arrows at the same time. The crossbow was Zhuge Liang's invention. One crossbow can shoot ten arrows, and only two soldiers needed to operate it. It was equivalent to six people using a thousand military crossbows. Although the accuracy was not good, it could play a role in defending the city.

The arrows shot from the city were covered with rain, like pouring rain. The soldiers raised their shields and moved forward, but soldiers were still hit by the dense rain of arrows and fell down screaming. The casualties of the Jiangdong army began to increase. At this time, more than 20 siege ladders in the east of the city took the lead in the city, and groups of Jiangdong soldiers with red eyes rushed towards the city frantically.

The rain of arrows from the Jiaozhou army came in a slanting manner, and the rolling wooden stones were smashed head-on. A series of Jiangdong soldiers screamed and fell from the stairs. Their bodies were shot by arrows, and their heads were smashed. Under the city wall, corpses piled up like mountains. Then Jiangdong soldiers climbed up the siege ladder frantically and charged upwards regardless of everything.

At this time, the sound of drums in the Jiangdong camp was loudly heard, and another 10,000 Jiangdong soldiers arrived. The battlefield was dusty. They passed through the range of the trencher and crossbow at the fastest speed.

The huge rocks roared and smashed the soldiers over. The crossbow arrows were powerful and fast, and one arrow could penetrate two people. The war horses were neighing, and the soldiers rolled. Under the big rocks, there were terrible corpses and plasma everywhere.

At this moment, the Jiangdong Army has invested 22,000 siege soldiers, and the city offensive and defense battle has entered the most intense stage...

At this moment, a team of cavalry rushed from the east. They rushed to the high platform, held Sun Quan's golden order arrow for the guards, raised their heads and shouted: "Governor Lu, Wu Hou has an order."

Lu Xun leaned over and asked, "What military order does Wu Hou have?"
