Chapter 1505 Outsmarting can't change the storm
Sun Feng retreated in disappointment. After returning, he met Sun Jun and told him what he had done just now, and then said, "Brother, Zhuge Liang must have been suspicious. Even if he was trying to force him, he would never open the city gate. It seems that it is impossible to defeat Shouchun in a wise way. What should we do next?"
In their original plan, they wanted to open the city gate of Shouchun, and then Sun Jun would lead a large army to attack Shouchun defenders and catch them off guard. In this way, they could easily take Shouchun City.
But now it seems that this plan is bankrupt. Zhuge Dan's son is a genius and a genius. Even if Sun Chen uses all his skills, he cannot induce him to open the city gate. In this way, he will have failed to deceiving Shouchun, which puts the Wu army in a dilemma.
Sun Jun's eyes were gloomy. Originally, their plan was quite complete. Sun Jun did not ask Sun Jin to lead more troops, but only brought a thousand people, just to avoid making Shouchun's defenders suspicious. After all, if one thousand people came to capture Shouchun City, no one would believe it.
But Zhuge Liang was very cautious. Obviously, he was suspicious of the Wu army's uninvited guests. Although Zhuge Liang might not necessarily think that a thousand Wu army could pose any threat to Shouchun City, he always adhered to the bottom line of not opening the city gate, which left Sun Qian helpless and made Sun Jun's plan completely bankrupt.
The sneak attack plan failed, but was Sun Jun really willing to withdraw his troops in such a shame? Of course, he refused. This time the Wu army attacked Shouchun, and there was no possibility of turning back. Even if the sneak attack failed, it would not stop Sun Jun from taking down Shouchun and taking down the entire Huainan ambition.
So Sun Jun just frowned, but quickly stretched out and ordered General Wuwei Sun, General Lu Ju, General Chen, Zhu Yi, General Zhennan, and General Liu Zan to lead 10,000 troops to besiege the four gates of Shouchun, southeast, west and northeast, and to lead 10,000 troops to launch a comprehensive attack on Shouchun City, and at all costs, he also wanted to take down Shouchun City.
Although Sun Jun gave priority to using sneak attacks in this attack, he still prepared a large amount of siege equipment for safety and mobilized almost all Wu troops stationed in the new city. In the event of a failed sneak attack, he prepared to use force to attack Shouchun City. This time, Sun Jun was determined to win against Shouchun City.
The four generals of the Wu army bowed their orders and each led 10,000 troops to attack Shouchun from four directions.
When Zhuge Liang saw Sun Jing leading the army back, he vaguely felt that today's affairs were too strange. The Wu army did not say anything beforehand, and Sun Jing led his troops to suddenly appear outside Shouchun City. This extremely abnormal behavior immediately aroused Zhuge Liang's alertness.
Moreover, Sun Chen tried every means to enter the city, which was a strange thing in itself. It was obvious that Sun Chen had an ulterior motive. Although Zhuge Liang did not think that the storm could be caused by the 1,000 people brought by Sun Chen, if things were abnormal, they would be a monster. Zhuge Liang would keep him out of the door, which was the safest way.
But will Sun Jing give up? Of course Zhuge Liang could not judge this, but to be on the safe side, he ordered all Shouchun defenders to enter a first-level combat readiness state and beware of the movements of the Wu army at all times.
Zhuge Liang himself did not go down the city, and stayed above the city and looked into the distance. Even breakfast was eaten with the soldiers guarding the city. He knew very well that Sun Yu was definitely not wandering around here, nor was Sun Yu so-called helping the Huainan army to defend against the enemy. Sima army had turned around. Does Shouchun still need the Wu army to assist in the defense?
So Sun Yu obviously had other plans, which made Zhuge Liang improve his precautions. Sure enough, not long after, he saw countless black dots pouring out from the horizon, like locusts and ants, pounced on the sky and the earth, and pounced towards Shouchun City.
Zhuge Liang sneered, as expected, the Eastern Wu people showed up, and the sneak attack would be serious if they failed. However, Zhuge Liang was not panicked at all, because when Zhuge Dan left, he had already reminded him that the Wu people were not trustworthy, especially when the situation was difficult, the Wu people were likely to take the blame. Therefore, Zhuge Liang had already prepared a twelve-point spirit and strengthened Shouchun's vigilance, not only to prevent the Sima army's sneak attack, but also to prevent the attack of the Eastern Wu people.
Zhuge Liang was not surprised at all now that the Eastern Wu people suddenly launched a large-scale attack. On the contrary, he had already made sufficient preparations. Shouchun City had sufficient soldiers and food, and had complete defense facilities. The only thing he lacked was that the defenders' strength was a little weak. When Zhuge Dan set out to fight against Huaibei, he took away 80,000 people. Now there were only more than 10,000 troops left in the huge Shouchun City, but Zhuge Liang was still confident and ordered the defenders to be on high alert and prepare to face the enemy with all their might.
Zhuge Liang's confidence is also true. After all, Zhuge Dan's main force is Xia Cai, and it is only a Huai River separated from Shouchun. What happened on Shouchun? Zhuge Dan will definitely know that how could Zhuge Dan sit and watch Shouchun be in danger and ignore it.
Although the Huainan army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Yingshang, the remaining troops still had more than 30,000. Even if these troops were resting and reorganizing, if something happened to Shouchun, Zhuge Dan would definitely rescue him as soon as possible.
The Wu army was quite fierce. It can be seen that the Wu people came out this time and used all the troops stationed in the new city. They rushed towards the four gates of Shouchun and launched an attack at the same time.
Obviously, the Wu people also knew that the current weak defenses in Shouchun City were so weak that they launched an attack on the four city gates at the same time. In this way, the weakness of the defense forces in Shouchun City will be infinitely amplified. The Wu army devoted all their strength to attack, and naturally hoped to take Shouchun in the shortest time.
Because they knew very well that Zhuge Dan was in Xia Cai, and Xia Cai was only more than 30 miles away from Shouchun. As soon as the battle in Shouchun City started, Zhuge Dan would know about it immediately and would send reinforcements to come.
Sun Jun sent four groups of men to attack Shouchun, but only 10,000 people were left to supervise the situation. The task of these 10,000 people was not easy. Sun Jun sent former general Tang Zi to lead 5,000 troops to the Huaihe Ferry, cut off the connection between Shouchun and Xia Cai, blocked Zhuge Dan's reinforcements, and the remaining 5,000 people were reserves to support all the men at any time.
What Sun Jun is most worried about is Zhuge Dan's reinforcements. As long as Zhuge Dan leads his troops back to Shouchun, it will inevitably disrupt all Sun Jun's arrangements. Therefore, only by taking Shouchun as soon as possible can the problem in Huainan be fundamentally solved, and at the same time, it can force Zhuge Dan to surrender.
