The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Therefore, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but have the idea of ​​dedicating the city and surrendering.

However, as soon as such an idea came into being, he was instantly extinguished by himself.

Not to mention that he is now a high-ranking and powerful person in Jingzhou, and he is highly valued.

If you surrender now, not only will you immediately lose all the favors you had in the past, but you will also ruin your reputation and be ridiculed by the world.

It would be unacceptable to be so groveling just to survive.

The most important thing is that Zhang Zhao's two sons, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xiu, all followed Sun Quan to the Zhijiang front this time.

If Sun Quan saw that he had sacrificed the city and surrendered when he returned, he might immediately take revenge on his two sons.

At that time, the reputation will be gone, and the family will be gone. Even if he survives by idling, what's the point?

Therefore, after a fierce ideological struggle in Zhang Zhao's heart, he finally had an idea.

I saw him standing on the top of the wall, yelling unceremoniously: "Humph! Mr. Lu Bu, although I, Zhang Zhao, am not talented, I know that mighty words cannot be subdued.

Even if you are a million cruel people, what can you do to me?If you want to take Jiangling, even if you let your horse come, I, Zhang Zhao, will definitely not surrender! "

What Zhang Zhao said was very firm, blocking the way to continue the negotiation.

As soon as Lu Bu heard that the other party was so unquestionable, he understood his thoughts, so he attacked unceremoniously.

"Zhang Zhao, since you don't know good and bad, let the whole city be buried with you! The whole army will attack, and the first to break the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"

Lu Bu's words immediately stimulated the soldiers, and for the reward of a thousand pieces of gold, they fought bravely one by one to attack the top of the city.

Now there are only [-] defenders in Jiangling City. If this person guards the four walls, there are only [-] on one side.

How could these people be able to withstand Lu Bu's impact?

Therefore, Zhang Zhao hurriedly ordered the defenders from other directions to come to support.

But don't forget that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are themselves cavalry. As soon as the guards over there are weakened, they will gallop away immediately, changing the focus of the attack.

So in this way, Zhang Zhao's defenders became more and more passive when they hit the back.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhang Zhao already desperately gathered all the manpower that could be mobilized in the city on the city wall.

There are civil servants such as Li Gongcao, as well as idlers such as grooms and cooks, and even some ordinary people followed the city wall.

Although these people are not capable of bending a bow and shooting arrows, they can still do it by throwing some rolling stones and wood.

As Sun Quan's base camp, Jiangling definitely had enough supplies, but in fact it was only short of manpower.

Now that the manpower has been added, the strength of the defense has naturally increased by several levels in an instant.

That's why Lu Bu didn't expect that Jiangling, which he was going to attack, turned out to be all soldiers at this moment.

The city, which was about to be taken down, was once again stabilized under the opponent's defense.

In the end, Lu Bu had no choice but to stop for the time being. After Gan Ning caught up, he gathered his troops and took down the city once again.

And in order to prevent the other party from transmitting information to the outside world, especially ask Sun Quan for help.

Lu Bu arranged for several cavalry to patrol outside the city in turn at twelve hours a day.

Regardless of whether they were soldiers or civilians, as long as they came out of Jiangling, they were immediately taken to the camp and imprisoned.

At that time, after interrogating them one by one, they may be killed or released, but all of this will have to wait until he takes Jiangling down.

Therefore, after Jiangling was blocked by Lu Bu, it lost contact with the outside world in an instant.

Whether it's in the direction of Zhijiang or Le Township, they don't know what happened.

It was not until the next day that Gan Ning's army finally caught up.

When he saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't help being stunned.

Lu Bu explained with a smile: "Don't be alarmed by the prosperity of the hegemony, the Jiangling city is strong and difficult to attack quickly. And that Zhang Zhao actually mobilized the entire city's army and civilians to jointly defend.

Now the general can't even take it down, so block it first to avoid leaking the wind.

Since you are here, hurry up and attack the city with me! "

After hearing Lu Bu's explanation, Gan Ning immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem, Feng Xian, why don't we just compare and see who will win this city first?"

Inspired by Gan Ning, Lu Bu became interested instantly.

He raised his head and smiled: "Hahahaha, Xingba, although I am not as good as you in water warfare, you will not be able to conquer cities.

But since you want to gamble, let's compare, how about a jar of pine wine? "

"Hahaha, good! It's a deal, you attack the southeast, I attack the northwest, the first one wins!"

After saying these words, Gan Ning did not hesitate, and directly led his troops towards the direction he had chosen.

And Lu Bu naturally did not hesitate, and launched an attack towards the southeast.

In this way, Zhang Zhao on the top of the city will suffer.

Originally, all the people who could be mobilized in the city were gathered at the top of the city, so that they could barely stop Lu Bu's offensive.

Unexpectedly, in just one day, another enemy army rushed in.

Now the two armies are completely encircling the city, and a decisive battle is about to start.
