Just as Lu Xun guessed, Zhuge Liang had no plans to send troops to ambush the Jiangdong Army. Lu Xun is also a young commander who is good at fighting, and his surprise soldiers may not be able to hide from him.

It is better to use the right way to win than to use a strange soldier to win it. Zhuge Liang decided to stick to the new Wucheng, and took advantage of the Jiangdong Army's weakness in logistics and supplies, and finally dragged down the Jiangdong Army.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had received a report from the spies that the main force of the Jiangdong Army was still [-] miles away from the city, and was stopping to rest. Zhuge Liangliang nodded and smiled at Guan Yu: "This shows that Lu Xun is also a cautious person. He would rather take it easy than rush. siege."

Guan Yu suggested: "Military division, the so-called complementarity of righteousness and strangeness is the kingly way to win. Since the military division uses the righteous way, why not send out a strange army to move around the periphery."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded with a smile and said, "Yun Chang's suggestion is exactly what I want, and this opportunity should be left to young people!"

He ordered people to find Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, and told them: "I will give you three thousand troops, and you can take ten days of dry food to the outskirts of the city. Don't attack the enemy lightly, you must see my kit act."

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang handed the two kits one by one, and said with a smile: "After leaving the city, first look at the kits of Nephew Guan Xian, and when the time is right, look at the kits of Nephew Zhang Xian. achievement."

The two were overjoyed, received the kit, saluted Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, and went down to the city to order troops. Not long after, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao left Xinwu County with 3000 people from Xicheng and ran to the northwest. Guan Yu was at the head of the city. Looking at the two of them going away, I couldn't help feeling a little worried, "I wonder if the two of them can compete with Lu Xun?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Yun Chang, the tiger father has no dogs and sons, I believe the two of them will not let us down."

. . . . . . . . . .

At the Ganjiang Wharf in Nanchang County, a passenger ship docked slowly, and several guests went ashore. This was a middle-aged man accompanied by three entourages. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm from Wu Jun. May I ask if Governor Lu is here? I'm his family."

After a while, an officer on duty walked out quickly and said with a smile on his face, "Is this gentleman looking for my governor?"

"Exactly, I'm next to Lu Ming. He's Dudu Lu's uncle. He came from Wu County. I need to find Dudu Lu urgently. Is he here?"

"Captain Lu is not in Nanchang now, he led his troops to Xinwu County, can you wait for him to come back, at the latest ten days later."

"Ten days!"

The middle-aged man showed anxiety, turned around and whispered to another younger man, "He's not here, he's in Xinwu County, should we wait for him to come back?"

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

The middle-aged man had no choice but to turn around and salute: "We have an urgent matter, we should go to Xinwu County! Thank you general for expressing this clearly."

A few people left the pier and rented a few horses from a mule and horse shop not far away. They got on their horses and galloped west. The officer on duty was a little puzzled, what happened in such a hurry ?

He lowered his head and thought for a while. He had to report this matter to Marquis Wu. He immediately walked to the big ship docked by the pier. Sun Quan's huge five-thousand-stone boat was moored on the pier, standing like a hill above hundreds of warships. In the boat, in the cabin, Sun Quan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and turned back to the officer on duty, "You must be Lu Xun's uncle!"

"The humble official has never met Dudu Lu's uncle. Some people say his name is Lu Ming, and he is Dudu Lu's uncle."

"Lu Ming!"

Sun Quan raised his head and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered, and quickly asked the officer, "Does this man have a big black mole on his nose?"

"Exactly!"

"It seems that it is really him." Sun Quan said to himself, "What is he doing in Yuzhang County at this time?"

The reason why Sun Quan remembered this Lu Ming was because he was the enlightenment master of his nephew Sun Shao and one of the famous Confucian scholars in Wu County. Sun Quan remembered the information sent by the spies. Shao inherited his father's business, including the Lu family. The so-called Sun Shao's succession to his father's business is actually replacing himself.

A bad breath rose from the bottom of Sun Quan's heart, and his fists were slowly clenched. At the beginning, he was hesitant to order the attack on Xinwu County, largely because he heard the news. He was a little worried about Lu Xun. He was his elder brother. His son-in-law is brother Sun Shao, will he support Sun Shao?

This time Lu Ming came to Lu Xun, saying that there was an urgent matter, and why?Sun Quan became more suspicious. At this time, he turned back and asked the officer on duty, "Who is that young man with Lu Ming? Is it Sun Shao?"

The officer on duty quickly shook his head, "Mr. Shao has seen it before, he is not, but he also has a Wu Jun accent, looks like a soldier, he also said that the situation is urgent, Wu Jun can't wait, although the voice is small, but the humility is still there." I heard."

A chill ran down Sun Quan's back. He was almost [-]% sure that Lu Ming and this young man came to Lu Xun for the matter of Sun Shao. If you turn to support Sun Shao, you will be in danger.

The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more frightened he became, no way!He had to recall Lu Xun and seize his military power. It was no longer important to defeat the Jiaozhou army and regain Jingnan at this moment. The important thing was to keep his position. Sun Quan immediately took out his gold medal, but he hesitated. Let Lu Xun feel vigilant, Sun Quan replaced it with a command arrow on the table, handed it to a guard and said, "You go to Xinwu County immediately, no need to explain anything, and order Lu Xun to return to the army immediately."

"As ordered!"

The guard took the command arrow and left in a hurry. Sun Quan walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, finally took out the gold medal, and commanded: "Go and find Zhou Tai."

After a while, Zhou Tai rushed over, bowed and saluted, "See Marquis Wu!"

Sun Quan handed him the gold medal and said, "I have sent my own soldiers to recall Lu Xun with arrows. I am worried that he will disobey the order. If that is the case, you can use the gold medal to directly seize his military power and lead the army to retreat immediately!"

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

Sun Quan said coldly: "Don't ask me why, just carry out my order!"

"I obey the order!" Zhou Tai had no choice but to take the gold medal and leave in a hurry.

Sun Quan said to another guard general: "You can lead [-] cavalry to Xinwu County, catch up with Lu Ming and his party, and arrest them for me."

The general of the bodyguard saluted and left. Sun Quan looked at the direction of Xinwu County outside the window with his hands behind his back, and said to himself coldly, "Bo Yan, I trust you very much, but your family disappoints me so much!"

The siege of Xinwu County has been going on for the fifth day, and the battle is getting more intense, 'Boom!Boom!Boom! The sound of war drums was like thunder, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky. 1 Jiangdong soldiers rushed towards Dongcheng and Nancheng. They carried hundreds of siege ladders, and the offensive was like a tide. Both the eastern section and the eastern section have been filled with sandbags by the Jiangdong Army. Without the obstruction of the moat, the Jiangdong Army's offensive is even sharper.

When the Jiangdong army rushed within three hundred steps, the [-] trebuchets on the top of the city began to fire, the winch rotated, and the poles were thrown out. Huge boulders flew into the air, roaring and smashing towards the dense crowd of Jiangdong army. The boulder fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust, and the boulder rolled on the ground. The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army screamed and ran away, but many people were hit by the boulder and their bones were broken, and they died tragically on the spot.

Immediately after the second round of boulders came, many soldiers were smashed into meatloaf, their limbs were flying, their brains were cracked, and the pungent blood mist filled the air.

There are also bed crossbows, which are mainly aimed at huge siege devices such as nest vehicles and ladders, but this time there are no large siege devices in the Jiangdong Army, so the bed crossbows have no use for them, and can only be launched into the distance together with the trebuchet .

The four-foot-long arrows shot hundreds of steps away, with astonishing power, they pierced through the shield array of the Jiangdong Army. Behind each giant shield, several people were shot through by the long arrows.

The morale of the Jiangdong Army was not high, and the tragic boulder and long arrow attacks chilled many people, and some people began to turn around and flee back to the barracks.

Standing on a two-foot-high wooden platform, Lu Xun personally led the formation and commanded the battle. When he saw more than a thousand soldiers fleeing from Nancheng, he was furious. Behead!"

Lu Xun arranged for [-] law-enforcement soldiers to supervise the battle with sharp battle axes. Under Lu Xun's order, the law-enforcement soldiers went on a rampage, hacking and killing hundreds of soldiers who had fled back. Those who dare to escape will be beheaded on the spot!"

Under the bloody killing of law enforcement soldiers, the Jiangdong soldiers who had fled back had to re-enter the battlefield and rushed to the top of the city desperately. Under the city, a series of siege ladders began to be erected.

The garrison at the top of the city had been prepared for a long time. When the enemy rushed into Baibu, the 600 garrison at the top of the city fired random arrows, together with the [-] continuous crossbows. The continuous crossbow was Zhuge Liang's invention. Ten arrows only need two soldiers to operate, which is equivalent to [-] people using [-] military crossbows. Although the accuracy is not good, it can play a role in defending the city.

The arrows shot down from the top of the city covered the sky, like torrential rain. The soldiers held up their shields and moved forward, but there were still soldiers who were shot by the dense arrow rain and fell down screaming. The casualties of the Jiangdong Army began to increase. At that time, more than [-] siege ladders in the east of the city took the lead in reaching the top of the city, and groups of Jiangdong soldiers frantically rushed towards the top of the city.

A rain of arrows from the Jiaozhou army shot obliquely, and the rolling wood and rocks fell head-on. A group of Jiangdong soldiers screamed and fell down the stairs. They were shot by arrows and their heads were smashed. Some Jiangdong soldiers frantically climbed up the siege ladder, charging upwards desperately.

At this time, the drums in the Jiangdong camp were loud again, and [-] Jiangdong soldiers arrived as reinforcements. The battlefield was full of dust. Crossbow range.

Huge boulders whizzed down, knocking down soldiers one by one. The arrows from the bed crossbow were so strong and fast that one arrow could pierce through two or three people.

At this moment, the Jiangdong Army has invested 2 siege soldiers, and the city's offensive and defensive battle has entered the most intense stage. . . . . .

At this moment, a troop of cavalry came galloping from the east. They rushed to the foot of the high platform. The head of the guard held Sun Quan's golden command arrow and raised his head and shouted: "Captain Lu, Marquis Wu has orders!"

Lu Xun probed and asked, "What military order does Marquis Wu have?"

The guards held up the arrow and shouted sharply: "Marquis Wu has an order, ordering you to withdraw immediately and return to Nanchang County!"
