By the next day, the Wu army outside the city had prepared siege equipment and began to attack Lujiang City! What made Guo Jia and Zhou Cang relieved was that the Wu army did not seem to choose to besiege Lujiang City, but instead focused on
The west gate of Lujiang City. Seeing this scene, Guo Jia, who had just arrived at the city head, suddenly laughed. Seeing Guo Jia smile, Zhou Cang on the side also looked confused and asked hurriedly: "Master Guo
!Why are you laughing?”
Guo Jia pointed at Wu Jun outside the city who was rushing towards the city wall and said with a smile: "Sun Wu set up such an ambush plan yesterday. I guess that this plan must have been set up by Namei Zhoulang! If Zhou Yu is here, we are here
We are only half sure of guarding Lujiang City. However, the enemy army did not take advantage of its strength and besieged Lujiang from all sides. Instead, they focused on attacking the west gate! Zhou Yu would never make such a mediocre move. Obviously Zhou Yu is not here.
In this way, I am 90% sure that I can defend Lujiang!"
Guo Jia's words made Zhou Cang confused. He didn't understand what Guo Jia meant, but he also knew that Guo Jia was sure to defend Lujiang. Zhou Cang nodded vigorously and felt relieved.
, chuckled, and said: "Master Guo, since you said so, then I can let go and fight! You should retreat to the city first, and leave this fighting and killing matter to me!" said
After that, Zhou Cang raised his sword and took a step forward, preparing to defend the city with his soldiers.
Guo Jia smiled dumbly, but did not retreat from the city as Zhou Cang said. Instead, he smiled and said to Zhou Cang: "General Zhou, don't be anxious! Although we are defending the city, there are many ways! Let's look at what I did last night first.
Prepare strategies to defend the city! Come up!" As he said that, Guo Jia waved his hand behind him and shouted. Soon there was a response, and a group of people were seen hugging
A large piece of stuff quickly ran up the city. Zhou Cang saw that it was the officer Zhu Yue who had made great achievements in breaking the city yesterday! But now Zhu Yue is no longer just a small officer, because he was the first to break through.
At the city gate, Zhou Cang also promoted him to a captain in the army. When Zhou Cang saw Zhu Yue, he also looked relieved. No wonder he didn't see Zhu Yue early this morning. It turned out that he was called by Guo Jia
Got work done.
Even though Zhu Yue was so seriously injured yesterday, after being bandaged by doctors in the city yesterday and recuperating for a night, he was still alive and well again. When he got to the top of the city, Zhu Yue gave a military salute to Zhou Cang and Guo Jia and shouted loudly
He shouted: "I have seen General Zhou! Master Guo!"
Guo Jia waved to Zhu Yue with a smile and asked, "How is it? Are you ready with everything I asked you to prepare?"
Zhu Yue immediately shouted to Guo Jia: "The villain is ready! Please check it, Master Guo!" As he said that, Zhu Yue turned his body to one side and let out the pile of things that the soldiers behind him had thrown on the ground.
, Zhou Cang took a closer look and saw that it turned out to be a large pile of wood, and there was quite a lot of it. Looking back along these dry firewood, they were piled all the way to the bottom of the city, completely filling up the open space at the gate of the city.
Now Zhou Cang couldn't understand Guo Jia's intention even more. Why did he get so much wood for nothing? Even if it was used to hit people, it should be used to move rocks! These wood are all dry firewood, light and flimsy.
Yes, it won't hurt anyone at all! At this time, Zhu Yue also said to Guo Jia: "Master Guo! All the firewood in the city is already here! I followed the master's instructions and paid for them all with money.
It was not taken by force!" These dry firewood were not worth much in the first place, and although they were large in quantity, they did not cost much.
Guo Jia nodded, took a step forward, grabbed a piece of dry firewood with his hand, and squeezed it hard. The dry firewood was so brittle that it was broken by Guo Jia! Guo Jia was very worried about this.
Satisfied, he nodded and said to Zhu Yue: "Okay! Move all these dry firewood to the female wall and wait for my order!" Guo Jia pointed to the female wall on the other side of the city and motioned to those standing by the female wall.
All the soldiers got out of the way.
"Huh?" Guo Jia's behavior made Zhou Cang more and more confused. However, Zhou Cang hesitated for a while and decided to listen to Guo Jia's opinion. He waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to act according to Guo Jia's words. As for Zhu
Yue Yue ordered the soldiers following him to carry dry firewood and rush to the female wall. After a while, the dry firewood was piled high beside the female wall. At this time, the city
The Wu army outside had also rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and the archers began to shoot arrows at the top of the city to suppress it. The ladders that had been made were also set up on the wall one after another, and the infantry began to climb up the ladders!
"Master Guo!" Zhou Cang was anxious now. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to lose the battle inexplicably! At present, the defenders near the female wall had been mobilized, leaving only the high-pressure
How can Gao Ganchai resist those Wu troops?
Guo Jia made a comforting gesture to Zhou Cang, nodded to Zhu Yue with a smile, and said, "Zhu Yue! Let's do it!"
Zhu Yue, who had received Guo Jia's order, waved to his subordinates on the left and right at the same time. They turned around and pushed the dry firewood piled there from the female wall, and immediately destroyed the city.
Nearly half of the dry firewood on his head was pushed down to the bottom of the city wall. Zhou Cang quickly ran to the female wall toilet, lowered his head and looked down. As expected, the dry firewood had no effect at all after being pushed down.
It was so effective that only a very small part of the enemy soldiers were knocked down by the dry firewood, while most of the Wu army soldiers continued to climb up against the dry firewood, not taking the dry firewood seriously at all.
"This?" Although Zhou Cang expected this result from the beginning, because this plan was thought up by Guo Jia, Zhou Cang subconsciously chose to trust Guo Jia, but he did not expect this result! Zhou Cang's face was full of shock.
Looking at Guo Jia, I don't understand how a smart person like Guo Jia could do such a stupid thing?
Guo Jia didn't tell the difference, just smiled faintly and didn't make any move. Zhu Yue, who was next to him, took out a set of bows and arrows from nowhere, lit fire on the arrows, and shot directly under the city wall.
Go out. Not only him, but Zhu Yue's subordinates also imitated Zhu Yue's example, shooting out rockets one after another, falling straight under the city wall.
The number of those rockets was not large, only more than a hundred. For the Wu army outside the city, they were simply negligible. But when Zhou Cang turned his head and looked outside the city, he couldn't help but froze! Because Zhu Yue and the others
The fired rockets were not aimed at the Wu Jun who were climbing on the ladder, but directly hit the dry firewood that they had thrown down before!
As the so-called dry fire is called, although the number of those rockets is very small, when they fall on these dry firewood that can even be ignited by sparks, a raging fire immediately ignites! Once the fire burns, it is out of control! Surrounded by
The fire spread under the entire west city gate wall, completely isolating the Wu army under the city wall from the city wall. Those Wu army soldiers who had no time to escape were immediately surrounded by flames and screamed, but their whole bodies were burned.
They were all covered in flames, and the comrades around them did not dare to approach them at all. They could only let them roll on the ground, and were burned alive in the end!
Not only that, the flames also began to slowly climb up the ladders, which was a disaster for the Wu army soldiers who had already climbed up the ladders. There was a raging fire below, and if they jumped from the ladders, they would only die.
.And when they raised their heads, they saw that it was originally empty, but now it was full of sharp blades! As long as they went up there, they would definitely not be able to escape death!
Just with such a hesitation, the flames had already climbed to the ladder at their feet. This burning, they instinctively let go of their hands, and in the end they could only fall down the city one after another and be buried by the fire. A few Wu army soldiers
They simply gritted their teeth and rushed upwards, but in the end they could not escape the fate of death. They were killed by the defenders on the top of the city, and their bodies were also thrown down.
"Hahahaha!" On the top of the city, Zhou Cang couldn't help laughing. He turned to Guo Jia and shouted: "Master Guo! Your method really works! Hahahaha! Burn! Burn these to death.
You bastard!" Zhou Cang was relieved. Before, he was still worried about whether Guo Jia's commotion would lead to Lujiang City being breached, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all! Zhou Cang couldn't help but pick it up himself.
A few sticks of dry wood were thrown down the wall to help the fire.
Seeing Zhou Cang's excitement, Guo Jia also laughed and squinted his eyes at the Wu army who were at a loss outside the city. Although he didn't know who the generals of the Wu army were outside the city, he looked at the Wu army's formation and was overwhelmed by him.
Such a fire has caused chaos, which shows that the opponent is definitely not his opponent! Anyway, Guo Jia never thought of defeating this enemy who is several times his own. His goal is to drag this army into the Lujiang River.
Although I don’t know where Sun Ce mobilized these nearly 20,000 people from, the total number of soldiers and horses in Yangzhou is only that few people. If Sun Ce mobilizes nearly 20,000 people here, the defense in other places must be weakened!
At that time, as long as the lord's army arrives, the other cities and counties in Yangzhou will be unable to block the lord's offensive! As for these Wu troops, even Sun Ce himself will not be able to protect himself. How much more can they do?
Having made a plan in his mind, Guo Jia smiled and said to Zhou Cang: "Okay! Okay! General Zhou! All the firewood in the city is here, we have to save some! Just burn these ladders,
That’s fine! Without the ladder, they won’t be able to attack the city! We can also hold Lujiang for one more day!”
Now Zhou Cang admired Guo Jia from the bottom of his heart. Zhou Cang listened to what Guo Jia said, nodded his head desperately, and said to Guo Jia: "Okay! Okay! Master Guo is right! Hahahaha! Let it go first."
Get over these bastards! Wait until tomorrow and let’s burn him again!”
