Although the Huainan Army suffered heavy blows on Ying, Zhuge Dan had no time to reorganize and reorganize the army. When he heard that Shouchun had something to do, he set out immediately, and many institutions were empty.

But this does not seem to hinder the combat effectiveness of the Huainan Army. After all, they are all tough guys who can climb out of the dead. This residual army is not inferior to any regular army at all.

The Wu army has always had shortcomings in land warfare. Although in the era when Zhuge Ke was in charge of power, the Wu army valued the Danyang soldiers and chose Shanyue people with strong civilian customs to enrich the army, which made the Wu army improve greatly in infantry warfare.

However, after Sun Jun came to power, he was afraid that Zhuge Ke's confidant generals would cause trouble and clean up Zhuge Ke's direct forces in the Wu army. Naturally, there were many Shanyue generals promoted by Zhuge Ke, so the Danyang soldiers also suffered heavy damage during this purge, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as before.

When the Huainan army heard that Shouchun was surrounded, they were all anxious and indignant, and were extremely indignant at the Wu army's treason. Many people's families were even in Shouchun. Once Shouchun was lost, no one could guarantee that their families would not suffer. Therefore, in order to rush to rescue Shouchun, these Huainan soldiers were particularly desperate. Even if the terrain was in an unfavorable state, they all fought bravely, fought bloody battles with the Wu army, and reversed their disadvantage step by step.

Tang Zi was also considered a brave general among the Wu army. Tang Zi was not a native of Wu, but a native of Licheng County, Xuzhou, Wei State. During the Huangchu period, Cao Pi conquered Wu State. Cai Fang, a soldier from Licheng County, led the people to rebel, elected Tang Zi as the leader, and killed the prefect Xu Ji. Later, the rebellion was put down, Cai Fang was killed, and Tang Zi fled to Wu State.

As a surrendered general, Tang Zi was naturally not qualified to show off in Wu. The reason why he was able to be promoted to the position of a former general was naturally due to his courage, tenacious military achievements. Sun Jun asked him to lead five thousand people to block Zhuge Dan's 30,000 troops. Although he knew that this task was quite arduous, Tang Zi was determined without hesitation.

The blocking battle was very fierce. Tang Zi's five thousand troops were lost, but Tang Zi did not take a step back and held his position. He fought with the Huainan army to the end, which also made Zhuge Dan unable to advance half a step after launching the attack for one day and one night.

Sun Qian was worried that Tang Zi could not stand it, so he suggested to Sun Jun that some of the siege troops were dispatched to help Tang Zi and block Zhuge Dan's journey south.

However, Sun Jun did not agree with his suggestion. The siege battle has reached the most critical moment. If a part of the siege army is drawn down at this time, it will inevitably affect the efficiency of the siege. So Sun Jun gritted his teeth and sent out all the five thousand remaining troops around him to reinforce Tang Zi.

At the same time, they also issued a death order to the siege of Sun Jin, Zhu Yi, Lu Ju and Liuzan, requiring them to take down Shouchun City within one day no matter what method they use.

The situation has become quite urgent now. If the Wu army cannot take down Shouchun City, it will face the dilemma of attacking inside and outside the Huainan army. Therefore, if you want to reverse the decline, the Wu army must take down Shouchun. This is also the top priority of the Wu army now.

Of course, Sun Jun knew that at this critical moment, once the besieged troops were mobilized to block the aid, it would not only lose some of the siege forces, but also greatly shake the confidence of the siege team. The siege battle is now very fierce and stalemate, and the siege team is extremely tired. If the morale of the army is unstable, it will have a great impact on the offensive. At this critical moment, it must not affect the efficiency of the siege team.

So Sun Jun could only mobilize the last trump card in his hand, that is, the 5,000 troops serving as the reserve team. Originally, Sun Jun was planning to use these 5,000 people as a new force when the siege was unfavorable and launch a fatal blow to Shouchun. However, some problems arose from Tang Zi's blocking support. Sun Jun must send these 5,000 people to the south bank of the Huai River north of Shouchun to strengthen the strength to block Zhuge Dan. Zhuge Dan must not be allowed to move south smoothly, thereby destroying the Wu people's plan.

Without the reserve team to support it, the task of siege can only be to rely on the 40,000 people sent out first. And due to the situation, the Wu army could only do its best to strengthen the attack, hoping to win Shouchun City in the shortest time and reverse the current unfavorable situation.

The four generals who received the order all looked at each other. If they had enough time, they were confident that they would be able to win Shouchun City. However, now Sun Jun can only take them one day to capture Shouchun City, which is extremely tenacious in defense. This is almost an impossible task. Now they have tried many attempts. The defense strength of Shouchun City has exceeded their estimates, which means that the time to win Shouchun City will be greatly delayed.

But the current situation does not allow them to delay too much time, so Sun Yan, Zhu Yi, Lu Juliuzan could only bite the bullet and attack Shouchun City day and night, hoping to use this high-intensity offensive to drag down the army defending the city.

Now there are piles of corpses under Shouchun City. The Wu army has no time to clean up these corpses, and there is no time to count how many people they have lost since the siege. However, the scene of corpses everywhere in front of them is enough to prove how tragic the Wu army's losses were.

Of course, the defenders of Shouchun City cannot be unscathed. In the fierce battle, the reduction of the defenders of Shouchun City is also very powerful. Many defensive sections are full of dangers, but the Huainan Army fought to the death with its tenacious fighting spirit under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, which made the Wu army unable to overcome this hurdle at the city.

Night slowly came, and the offensive and defensive sides who had fought fiercely for a day were extremely exhausted. But at this time, the Wu army's offensive was still like a surging wave, constantly rushing towards Shouchun City. No matter how tired or tired the Shouchun defenders had to continue gritting their teeth and persevere.

Many soldiers didn't even have time to eat, and they could not retreat from the city. The logistics soldiers transported food and water to the city. Many soldiers fired their bows and shot arrows, then ate two big cakes, then took another arrow and drank a sip of water. The entire meal process was interspersed in the battle, and they did not dare to relax at all.

It is difficult for anyone to persevere in such a high-intensity offensive and defensive battle. After all, people are not machinery and need to eat and rest. The food can be solved on the position, but can the sleeping matter be solved on the position?
