The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Chapter 291: Lu Xun Vs Zhou Yu in Three-Line Combat

In the middle of the night, the west gate of Hefei City quietly opened.

The Jiangdong army surrounded one of the three, and the other three gates were surrounded by enemy troops. If you want to leave the city, you have to leave through the west gate.

Groups of soldiers quietly evacuated from the west gate one after another. Everyone was extremely quiet, for fear of accidentally making too much noise and attracting the enemy troops from the other three gates.

After leaving the city, all the soldiers marched cautiously.Although he couldn't see his fingers at this time, Zhang Liao still sent scouts out to investigate carefully, for fear that the Jiangdong Army's sentries were hidden nearby, which would expose the movements of his own army.

During the day, the Jiangdong Army did send extra sentries to watch the situation at the west gate, but at dusk, when the Jiangdong Army retreated and set up camp, all these sentries returned.After all, the role of sentry at night will be greatly reduced. Instead of letting them do useless work, it is better to come back and rest. Even someone as wise as Zhou Yu would never have imagined that the defenders of Hefei would abandon the city in the middle of the night.

After just one night, there were only [-] soldiers left in the city of Hefei, which were used to contain the Jiangdong Army.

The next day, Sun Jian's army attacked the city again. According to Zhou Yu's calculations, the morale of the defenders in the city was still strong, and the defense equipment was not exhausted. It would probably take seven or eight days to break through the city. time.

However, much to Zhou Yu's surprise, it only took an hour to attack the city, and some soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

Accompanied by the first soldiers to climb the top of the city, the Jiangdong army that followed frantically surged up the city wall of Hefei like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, the city of Hefei was broken.

With a surprised mood, Zhou Yu rode behind Sun Jian and entered Hefei City.

After entering the city, Zhou Yu was even more surprised that there were so few defenders in Hefei.

It stands to reason that it would never be like this. Cao Cao's reinforcements just arrived a few days ago. Could tens of thousands of people disappear out of thin air?

After calling the captured soldiers over and questioning them, they found out that the other defenders in the city had abandoned the city last night.

Hearing this news, with Zhou Yu's wisdom, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel at a loss.

Abandon the city and go?How can it be!Needless to say, the importance of Hefei City should be understood by any Cao Jun general. It is a barrier to defend the southeast of Xuchang. How could it be abandoned?

After breaking through Hefei, the Jiangdong Army only needed to go northward along the Yingshui River, and then they could drive straight to the city of Xuchang.

Even a general as timid as a mouse may not have the courage to give up Hefei City lightly. If he dared to do so, he might be beheaded by Cao Cao, so he might as well surrender to Jiangdong directly.

What's more, although the battle situation in Hefei is unfavorable, it is far from the end of the road.

The defenders Zhang Liao, Li Dian and others in Hefei City are all good generals in the world, so they can't lose sight of the situation in front of them. What is the purpose of abandoning the city so easily?

"My sons and daughters, the city of Hefei has been destroyed. You can slaughter the city for a day to thank me for the loss of my son!" However, before Zhou Yu could think too much, Sun Jian's voice ordered the city to be slaughtered.

Zhou Yu's heart shuddered, how could he do the massacre of the city!

Sun Quan's weight in Sun Jian's heart is really not light. He was precocious when he was young, and he was quite favored by Sun Jian.It can be said that among Sun Jian's sons, the most favored by him is not his eldest son, Sun Ce, who is extremely brave and looks like a father, but his clever second son, Sun Quan.

His beloved son was killed by Cao Cao, which made Sun Jian hate him so much. In the past, he had no power to take revenge, so he could only let Sun Jian suppress this anger in his heart. Now, once he found a vent, he could no longer suppress it. The air poured out.

Sun Jian has never been a kind person. If he speaks harshly, he is really a vicious tiger that can eat people!

"My lord! The massacre of the city is absolutely unacceptable..." Although he knew that Sun Jian might not be able to listen to his own words, Zhou Yu stepped forward to persuade him out of a sense of responsibility.

"Gong Jin don't need to say more!" However, Zhou Yu was only halfway through the sentence when he was interrupted by Sun Jian, "In the past, the father of the Cao thief was only attacked in Xuzhou, but he did not die. The Cao thief raised his troops to attack Xuzhou. There are many massacres in prefectures and counties. Now I want to slaughter Hefei to avenge the murder of my son, why not?"

Could this be a reason?Zhou Yu couldn't help sighing in his heart.In the past, when Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, he made it clear that he was under the banner of avenging his father, which was unreasonable.But now Sun Jian's attack on Cao is in the name of righteousness and begging for thieves. Under such circumstances, how can he still do such an act of massacring the city?

What's more, although Cao Cao's strength in the past was not as strong as it is now, he still won a lot compared to Tao Qian. The killing can deepen the fear of the people and the army in Xuzhou.But now, although there are three armies attacking Cao together, Cao Cao's power is still huge, and it is not easy to wipe him out in one fell swoop.Even if the coalition forces captured Xuchang and Cao Cao led his army to withdraw northward, he could still live in You, Hebei, and Bingzhou.

Under such circumstances, if the city of Hefei was slaughtered, it would only arouse the hatred of the enemy in Cao's army. It's just a matter of time, but it's not me who is in trouble in the end?

Moreover, from the heart, Zhou Yu himself neither approves of the massacre of the city.

But Sun Jian insisted on going his own way, how could he swallow the hatred of losing his son so easily?

In an instant, the city of Hefei was filled with the atmosphere of killing, mourning was everywhere, and blood was flowing...
