    After receiving the order, all the armies took a quick rest and prepared for attack.  Cao Cao suddenly stood still. When the civil and military officials in Wu County heard that Lu Meng had defeated the Wei invaders and defeated the Wei invaders Zhenwei's captain Sima Shi, they all thought that Cao Cao was timid and did not dare to attack rashly, and secretly rejoiced.  However, Sun Quan, Lu Meng, Lu Su and others knew that this was not the case. The calm now was just the calm before the storm.

    It¡¯s the night of the second day.  Suddenly a detailed report came, saying that Jia Xu, led by Xu Chu, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and other generals, had broken through Hailing Pass a long time ago and was about to arrive in Wuxian County.  When Cao Cao heard about it, those eyes that could swallow the sky burst out with light and he laughed loudly.

    "Hahahaha!! Wen He has come, this time it is really God who helped me win Soochow!!"

    Cao Cao was overjoyed and rewarded Jia Xu for his careful work. He quickly taught Jia Xu how to do it in return. He taught Jia Xu to obey orders the next day and march together to attack the east of Wuxian County.  Xi Zuo accepted the order and immediately resigned. He hurried on the starry night to report to Jia Xu. Then he taught several generals to lead troops to patrol closely outside Wu County. If he saw any Xi Zuo, he would immediately capture him.

    Time passes like a fleeting moment.  Gradually, it was noon on the third day.  All the armies under Cao Cao's command were well prepared and at the peak of their vigor.  Cao Cao stood in front of the army, holding up the heavenly sword to boost the morale of the three armies.  Forty to fifty thousand Wei soldiers, all raising their arms and shouting, shouting loudly, gearing up, eager to fight.  Following Cao Cao's order, 40,000 troops and horses surged forward, rushing towards the south gate of Wangwu County like a roaring wave.  The Wu soldiers on the south gate city suddenly felt that the ground was shaking. They saw the Wei soldiers and horses from all departments coming to kill them fiercely, and they all looked frightened.  Lu Meng had a cold face, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted loudly to stabilize the morale of the army.  Under Lu Meng's shout, all the sergeants calmed down their panic, their eyes flickered, and they were waiting for a fight.

    After a while, Cao Cao led his troops to a few miles away from the city, and the army was deployed.  Cao Cao drew his sword and waved, the order sounded, the drums and trumpets sounded, the men and horses in the front shouted loudly, and swarmed forward, carrying earth to fill the trenches.  At the center of the army, dozens of Thunderbolt Chariots were launched in unison. Flying rocks flew towards the south gate of Wuxian County like meteors.

    In an instant, the sky seemed to be getting steeper and the ground was shaking.  There were bursts of thrilling loud noises that shook the sky and the earth.  Lu Meng looked ferocious and shouted loudly. All the soldiers rushed to cover and fell down to avoid him.  Under the loud noises, the entire barbican city seemed to be shaking, the sky was covered with wind and dust, and earth and rocks were shot out.  Many soldiers were unable to escape and were smashed to pieces.  Under the cover of more than a hundred Pili chariots, the Wei soldiers at the front quickly transported earth to fill the pit and resurface the pit.  After the flying stone attack, Lu Meng stood up suddenly. Seeing the situation below the city, he hurriedly taught the crossbowmen to fire arrows to stop the attack.  When Sima Shi saw this, he immediately hissed and shouted. In the front of the Wei army, sword and shield wielders rushed forward one after another and built a shield wall to block random arrows.  The generals and soldiers of the two armies, both above and below the city, each served his master, and followed military orders, risking their lives and going one by one.  However, the Wu soldiers occupied the solid city and had the advantage first, and L¨¹ Meng commanded it well. The Wei soldiers under the city suffered many casualties.  Cao Cao looked cold and ordered his thunderbolt fleet to attack them with flint.  As Cao Cao's order fell, there were sudden bursts of thunder-like thunder, and flints shot out and flew away.  The urn city, the watchtower on the city gate, and a group of private houses in the south of the city were all hit, and soon fires broke out.  Fortunately, Lu Su and Lu Meng were prepared. The people in the city and the soldiers on the city took the buckets that had been prepared to put out the fire.  At this moment, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, and Gu Yong's civil servants and officials rushed over.  When Lu Meng saw it, his expression changed drastically and he shouted loudly.

    "Your Majesty!! The Wei invaders are attacking with thunderbolt chariots. This place is extremely dangerous. Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold. If there is any damage, what can you do!?"

    L¨¹ Meng shouted and was eager to teach the soldiers to protect Sun Quan and leave.  Suddenly, there was a loud noise and a huge flint flew towards him.  Sun Quan showed no fear, turned around and shouted loudly.

    "The lonely people and soldiers are fighting desperately for the country. As the leader of a country alone, how can we be pampered and privileged in the palace? I would like to live and die with you, my family and fellow countrymen!!"

    Sun Quan¡¯s words are sonorous, powerful and inspiring.  I saw flying rocks whizzing away from everyone's heads and hitting a joint behind the urn.  Lu Meng was horrified to see it. If Sun Quan had escaped just now, he might have died by now!  !  A gust of wind blew by, making Sun Quan's purple and gold dragon robe billow loudly, showing his majestic and imperial posture.  Even if the general is not protected, this man with blue eyes and purple beard is still the king of Soochow!  !  And this king is not timid in the face of the invasion of bandits, and is willing to fight to the end with his people and soldiers!  !

    In an instant, the morale of the Wu soldiers soared, and they fought bravely as if they had been given blood.  Lu Meng, Lu Su and other generals shouted loudly and ordered their troops to attack and kill them.  As the Soochow army rose up, the Wei soldiers under the city suffered more and more casualties. Corpses were scattered all over the field, corpses overlapped, and countless arrows, broken stones, and broken wood were scattered all around.  The more Cao Cao looked at him, the colder his expression became. His eyes were as if they were swallowing the sky, and he shot out a series of shots, shouting loudly.

    "The great cause of defeating Wu is about to be accomplished. All armies must fight bravely.If Dongwu is pacified, no matter how big or small the generals, soldiers, or soldiers will be, they will all be promoted and rewarded one by one!  !  But if anyone is afraid of fighting, he will be killed without mercy!  !  !  "

    Cao Cao shouted and his orders fell again. The soldiers and horses on both wings surged forward bravely without fear of death, risking their lives for Cao Cao to achieve his great cause of unifying the country.  Cries of killing, angry shouts, curses, and screams were heard all of a sudden.  The situation of the war was so extreme that it was unprecedented in these decades of chaos.

    At this moment, outside the east gate of Wu County.  Suddenly thousands of Wei soldiers and horses rushed forward bravely, and most of the soldiers and horses in Wu County were transferred to the south gate.  There were only a few thousand Wu soldiers guarding the city, and they were suddenly frightened and panicked.  Hao Zhao died in advance, walking as fast as flying, leading his sword and shield hands to go first. Xu Chu and Cao Zhang each led their troops and horses to transport soil and fill the trench.  Soon the Wei soldiers who came from behind formed a formation, and under Cao Pi's order, seven or eight thunderbolt chariots suddenly fired rocks.  The Wu soldiers on the city were unable to escape, and nearly a hundred soldiers were killed in an instant.  Jia Xu's face was cold and ruthless, as if he regarded human life as nothing. In his eyes, there was only victory or defeat. He sat at the rear and commanded the overall situation.  Jia Xu's army suddenly attacked, and the defenders at the east gate were unable to defend themselves and fell into chaos for a while.  The guard at the east gate hurriedly sent someone to look at the south gate to report.

    It is said that Lu Meng and Lu Su were commanding the soldiers at the south gate. Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other civil servants and officials were doing what they could to assist the soldiers.  Suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses came in a hurry and looked embarrassed. They reported that a group of Wei soldiers had suddenly arrived at the east gate and were attacking the city fiercely. There were not many troops at the east gate and they were caught off guard. There was a big chaos!  !  When Sun Quan, Lu Meng, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and others heard about this, their expressions all changed drastically.  Zhang Zhao felt as if he had been shocked by electricity. He staggered a few steps and almost fell down. Several sergeants hurriedly supported him.  As for Gu Yong and other civil servants, their faces were gloomy, as if their souls had been taken away.  The situation suddenly changed.  At this time, Sun Quan was even more excited, his green eyes were shining, and he shouted loudly.

    "There is no need to panic!! Jia Wenhe is actually expecting an attack from the east. The current plan is to send a general to lead troops to the rescue immediately, and you will be safe!!"

    As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, Lu Meng looked filled with emotion and shouted angrily.

    "I will go there eventually!!"

    Sun Quan was shocked when he heard this and was about to give the order.  However, Lu Su rushed to speak first.

    "No!! The fighting situation here at the south gate is even more intense. Among us in Soochow, only Ziming can defeat the old traitor!! Let me, Lu Zijing, go to the east!!"

    "However, the Grand Governor should guard the overall situation. The last general!"

    Lu Meng's expression changed and he shouted.  Lu Su interrupted sharply.

    "Although I hold the position of Grand Governor, Zi Ming's talents are better than mine!! No need to say more!!"

    After Lu Su said this, Sun Quan on the side also echoed.

    "What Zijing said is true. Ziming, please stop trying to shirk and live up to Zijing's high hopes!!"

    Lu Meng¡¯s expression condensed and he immediately accepted the order.  Lu Su nodded heavily, cast a meaningful look at Lu Meng, and then instructed his generals to quickly gather thousands of soldiers and horses and rush to the east gate together.  But it was said that Cao Cao was watching the situation below the city. When he saw the Wu soldiers on the city suddenly making orders, his sharp eyes suddenly shot out and he laughed.

    "Hahahaha!! My peace has arrived, Sun Zhongmou, you are at the end of your rope!!"

    After Cao Cao finished laughing, he issued orders continuously to urge the army to move.  The Wei soldiers rose up to attack, and most of the trenches were filled in.  Cao Cao saw this with keen eyesight and quickly taught his soldiers to charge towards the building and attack the chariot.  Under Cao Cao's order, a chariot rushed towards the south gate of Wuxian County and advanced. The soldiers on the chariot fired random arrows at them, and they were also covered by thunder chariots.  The Wu soldiers at the south gate were gradually suppressed.  L¨¹ Meng was so stunned when he saw it that he taught the strong men in the army to throw huge rocks at it. He also taught the soldiers to throw bags filled with fish oil and smash them against the opposite building and rush into the car.  Fish oil splashed, and as rockets shot out, seven or eight overhead trains suddenly caught fire.  The Wei soldiers in the car screamed and jumped down in a hurry, killing many of them.  At dusk, outside the south of Wu County City, there was a fire, which was thrilling to watch.  Cao Cao saw that night was approaching, so he ordered the front troops to withdraw.  As the trumpet sounded, the front troops of the Wei army withdrew one after another.  However, the Thunderbolt Car continued to fire, making loud noises.  The other side is at the east gate of Wu County.  Jia Xu's army attacked with great force and almost filled up the trenches outside the city. If Lu Su had not arrived in time, the Wei soldiers might have attacked Wengcheng.  Suddenly, Jia Xu heard the sound of gold ringing at the south gate and saw that night was approaching. He quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops, while using thunderbolt chariots as cover.  When Lu Su saw the Wei soldiers withdrawing, his face tightened and he let out a long sigh.

    With the orders of Cao Cao and Jia Xu, the fighting situation in the east and south gates gradually weakened a lot.  When the frontline soldiers and horses were withdrawn, Cao Cao and Jia Xu both left a force to guard the Thunderbolt Chariot.

    Troops were sent in turns, and every half hour, the sergeants were taught to attack with thunderbolt chariots and flying rocks, which made the people of Wu panic and find it difficult to rest.

    In the main hall of Wu County, Sun Quan's face was so dark that he seemed to be dripping with water, and he was breathing hard.  All the civil and military personnel in the hall looked gloomy, as if they had lost their souls.  Sun ?With a strong look on his face, his green eyes glared, and with surging anger, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

    "Jia Wenhe's troops are approaching Wu County, but our army's careful efforts have not paid off. He must have sent people along the way to explore the road and captured them all. What's more, Jia Wenhe was able to kill here. Ding Chengyuan and others must have been defeated, but  If you don¡¯t report back in time, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be captured! What a resourceful, cautious and cunning Jia Wenhe!¡±
