The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1193
Sun Kai was also among the thousands of people. For this operation, Sun Kai had great ambitions. Being the first to attack Luoyang City first was undoubtedly a great contribution. The siege plan was designed and implemented by him. If he finally enters Luoyang City first, then this will be the most perfect result.

Sun Kai is also a member of the Sun family, but their lineage has no blood relationship with the Sun family. Uncle Sun Kai's grandfather, Sun He, was originally named Yu. Because Sun Ce liked him very much, he was adopted as his adoptive son and given the surname Sun.Therefore, Sun Kai's lineage has a relatively low status in the Sun clan and is often not valued by others.

Sun Kai, holding his breath secretly, hoped that he would be proud of himself in the court by virtue of this Northern Expedition, so he personally led thousands of elite soldiers, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Luoyang City at night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the tunnel, they suffered a catastrophe. The Han army diverted water to irrigate the tunnel. Just as Sun Kai and others felt that the situation was not good, the flood had swallowed them up. No matter how good the water skills of Wu soldiers, But in this confined space, there is no air to breathe, and there is only a dead end.

Sun Kai felt that his lungs were about to explode, but when he opened his mouth, a large amount of water poured into his throat. He couldn't breathe, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. He struggled desperately, he didn't want to die here , but the tunnel was pitch black, and there was water besides water. Sun Kai closed his eyes in despair...

The flood rushed out from the entrance of the tunnel, and at the same time, there were countless corpses of Wu soldiers. This surprised Sun Xin, who had been waiting at the entrance of the tunnel, and hurriedly reported it to Lu Kang.

After hearing this, Lu Kang's expression changed drastically. There was no progress in attacking Luoyang City. Originally, this tunnel siege was Lu Kang's last hope. At this time, the news of failure came, and Lu Kang's mood can be imagined.

Lu Kang personally rushed to the entrance of the tunnel. The place was already in a state of chaos. The water kept gushing out from the entrance of the tunnel and flowed towards the low-lying places. The surrounding tents had been demolished. Now that the tunnel had been exposed , then there is no need for these tents to conceal people's eyes. Wu Bing took them down to facilitate the salvage of the corpses that rushed out of the tunnel.

Sun Kai's body was also found, everyone sighed silently, Lu Kang took a look, and ordered the soldiers to collect Sun Kai's body and send it back to Jianye for burial.

After the members of the Sun clan die, they are usually buried in the clan cemetery, which is uniformly arranged by the Zongzheng Mansion, and their spiritual seats are also enshrined in the ancestral hall, so Lu Kang specially sent someone to help the Shu back to Beijing and hand them over to the Zongzheng Mansion To deal with funeral affairs.

After losing several generals in a row, Lu Kang was depressed, and returned to the tent of the Chinese army, he couldn't help but sigh.

The eldest son, Lu Yan, comforted him: "Father has been working hard for days, so he must take care of his body."

Lu Kang waved his hand lightly, and said wearily, "It's okay, my father's health is fine, but the attack on the city has failed for several days. Seeing that the army is running out of food, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sustain it."

Lu Yan said: "Since that's the case, why doesn't father think about retiring? The battle is not going well, so it's a blessing to be able to retreat with all your strength."

Lu Kang shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "Yan'er, you don't understand. If retreating could solve the problem, my father would have already retreated, and maybe he would never have considered fighting Luoyang at all. If this battle is defeated, the general of Wu will fight again." Without the power to compete with the Shu Kingdom, maybe soon, the Wu Kingdom will also follow in the footsteps of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the country will not survive."

Lu Yan asked in astonishment: "Father, is he worried too much? Even if Luoyang cannot be obtained, Eastern Wu is sitting on the danger of the Yangtze River, and half of the country is as solid as gold. Even if it is as strong as Cao Wei, it has made several southern expeditions, but it has returned in vain. Although riding is powerful, it is not easy to cross the Yangtze River."

Lu Kang looked calm and said: "Now Wu is troubled by domestic and foreign troubles, and the wind and rain are precarious. How can we deal with a strong enemy? This move for the father is just to hold on to the last breath. If we are lucky enough to win Luoyang, it may be able to keep Wu Jun alive. , to suspend the crisis, if the army is defeated, the situation will be out of control, and the road to defeat is not far away."

"But now that food and grass are scarce, our army is powerless to fight again. If we don't retreat, what's the point of fighting?" Lu Yan said worriedly.

Lu Kang's eyes became resolute, and he said decisively: "Tomorrow will be a battle, and the father will personally supervise the battle. If you fail, you will be benevolent!"

In the early morning of the next day, the drums were beating early in Wu Jun's camp. Those Wu soldiers who woke up from their sleep were first attracted by the tempting smell of meat.Due to the shortage of food and grass, the food in the army these days is only about [-]% of the usual amount. The physical exertion of a day's battle is very heavy. If there is no enough food, it is not difficult to understand that the morale of Wu soldiers is low.

Moreover, it has been a few days of rough tea and light food, and the Wu soldiers almost faded out of their mouths. This time, they smelled the smell of meat, and immediately regained their energy. When they heard that the generals of each battalion were calling their troops, the Wu soldiers hurried Dress up and line up neatly.

Lu Kang summoned the generals in the tent of the Chinese army, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the governor will not say more about the current situation. I believe that everyone's heart is like a mirror. Therefore, today's battle will definitely be a desperate battle. , we have no way out, if we can’t take Luoyang, we will all be buried under the city of Luoyang. Show your blood and courage and fight to the death, whether you succeed or not, it’s now! The governor has prepared wine and meat , After you return to the camp, you must encourage the soldiers of the army and tell them that Jiangdong has never been short of Haoerlang since ancient times. If you kill those who fight, you will be united, and you will be able to cut through gold, and you will not give up until you take down the governor of Luoyang City!"

All the generals generously accepted the order, and each went back to the camp to summon their troops. After a feast of wine and meat, the drums of the Wu army's expedition were already rumbling, and all the soldiers and horses of the battalions were dispatched. middle.

Under the entire city of Luoyang, the Wu army is overwhelming, covering the mountains and plains, mighty like a sea of ​​smoke, looking down from the top of the city of Luoyang, it is almost impossible to see the edge, Wu has used all the power that can be used, Desperately launched the last wave of attack.

Whether it is Lu Kang or the generals of Wu Jun, they all understand that today's attack will be Wu Jun's last chance. If he can't win Luoyang City, then he will completely miss Luoyang City. Today's battle, It's already the last battle, there is no way out, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!
