Shouchun's defenders were indeed at the end of their strength. Zhuge Liang, who had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, had bloodshot eyes on his eyes. The sleepy feeling came, and he couldn't even stand firmly. However, he didn't dare to fall asleep. The Wu army was still attacking. If he was negligent at this time, it was very likely that he would make a big mistake.

Zhuge Liang found a cone. When he was so sleepy, he used the cone and stabbed it hard on his thigh. Don’t say it, this method is really effective. Zhuge Liang immediately became energetic and his sleepiness disappeared.

The ancients had really good methods of hanging their heads on the beam and stabbing their thighs, and they were sincere and would not deceive me. Zhuge Liang sent the orders to supervise each other. If anyone noticed that the soldiers around him dozed off, he would use the tip of a knife or spear to gently slimly on the other party's thigh or buttocks to ensure immediate vitality.

Although this method is effective for a short time, continuous combat has caused the human body function to be emptied. Most soldiers are exhausted and it is difficult to persevere. The only way to stab the thigh is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

But Zhuge Liang had no choice. Because Shouchun's defense was limited and the Wu army's attack was extremely fierce, he had to put all his troops into the city, and there was not even a reserve force in his hand, so the defenders at the city had no chance to take a turn for the exchange. Faced with the Wu army's continuous attack day and night, Zhuge Liang could only grit his teeth and persevere. Before the reinforcements arrived, he could not relax for a moment.

The Shouchun defenders were under considerable pressure, and the Wu army was not having a good time. Because the Wu army spared no effort to invest all their troops during the siege, their physical strength and energy have reached their limits.

When the war reaches this point, it is no longer simply comparing combat power, but more of a competition of will. Just like in the field, two opponents who are exhausted and shaking, it depends on who will fall one step earlier.

The Wu army ignited a torch and launched an attack day and night. The entire city was covered with flames, just like a dazzling galaxy. Although the Wu army's offensive is far less fierce than before, due to the declining power, the defense of Shouchun City seems to be even more dangerous.

Some areas of the city wall were even broken through by the Wu army, but fortunately, Zhuge Liang led the personal guard camp to counterattack in a timely manner, killing the Wu army that rushed to the city one by one, thus controlling the situation and avoiding the loss of the city.

But Zhuge Liang can't always play the role of the firefighting captain. If the city walls of more than ten miles are lost everywhere, Zhuge Liang will not be able to save even a god.

The defense of Shouchun City has indeed reached the moment of life and death. Zhuge Liang was worried. He stood on the head of the city and looked north, hoping to see the scene of his father leading his troops back, but he could only see the scene of sparks in the distance. I believe that Zhuge Dan's army was also blocked by the Wu army, and the two sides were fighting fiercely on the Huai River. The defense of Shouchun City had reached its limit. Zhuge Liang didn't know if he could last until the moment when Zhuge Dan led his troops back.

The east has already revealed its white belly, and another sleepless night has endured. The arrival of the day will not mean the end of the battle. On the contrary, the Wu army's attack will enter a new climax. After a fierce battle for a night, the defenders of Shouchun have exhausted all their energy and energy. The loss of the city is only a matter of time.

"Prepare to break through!" Zhuge Liang was very unwilling to give the order to break through. It would be meaningless to continue defending the country. The Wu army would invade the city at any time. If there was no breakthrough, everyone would either die in battle or be captured. This was not the result that Zhuge Liang wanted to see. Leave a little remaining strength. After meeting with Zhuge Dan, they still had the opportunity to launch a counterattack again.

Although Zhuge Liang had issued an order to break through, many soldiers seemed indifferent. Once they gave up on their persistence, the Wu army would pounce on them like a flood. The city they fought for and held for three days and three nights would be instantly in the hands of the Wu army. All their efforts were wasted, and many soldiers showed unwillingness on their faces.

But what if they are unwilling to accept it? They have reached the last moment of fighting. The enemy is numerous and we are few, and the power is very different. Failure is inevitable.

But at this moment, the position on the west side of the Wu army suddenly became in chaos. A group of people rushed out from behind the formation and directly rushed the Wu army's position.

The position to the west of the Wu army was responsible for Liu Zan. At this moment, Liu Zan was commanding the siege on the edge of the moat, and all the Wu army was paying attention to the siege, so that the Huainan army suddenly came out behind them. They didn't notice it at all. For a moment, the situation was in chaos and countless casualties were injured.

The Shouchun defenders who were preparing to retreat and break through were greatly energetic. It was clearly because reinforcements killed them. They quickly reported to Zhuge Liang, and the breakthrough operation was naturally stopped.

Zhuge Liang even went to the west gate of the city to check it out in person, wanting to see what was going on.

Zhuge Liang was also quite confused at this time. Logically speaking, Zhuge Dan was in Xia Cai in the north. Even if they broke through the blockade of the Wu army, the first direction they arrived should be in the north. Why did they suddenly appear in the west of the city?

When he arrived at the west gate, Zhuge Liang climbed up the city tower and saw that he suddenly realized that it was not Zhuge Dan's army that was the first to fight back to Shouchun to rescue, but Wu Gang's army.

It turned out that Wu Gang went to Yiyang to block Wang Chang's Jingzhou army under the order of Zhuge Dan. When he heard the news of Zhuge Dan's defeat on Yingshang, Wu Gang's situation in Yiyang became very difficult. It was indeed difficult for him to block the Jingzhou army in isolation and helplessness. In order to avoid the destruction of the entire army, Wu Gang had to retreat while reporting Zhuge Dan's situation and led his troops to retreat to Lu'an.

I thought Wang Chang would lead his troops to chase him, and Wu Gang was even ready for a bad war, but unexpectedly, Wang Chang did not advance. Even Yi Yang, who Wu Gang took the initiative to give up, did not advance, but retreated back and retreated again to Pingchun, the junction of Jingzhou and Huainan.

Wang Chang's actions puzzled Wu Gang. He really couldn't understand why Wang Chang was afraid of him like a snake or a scorpion. Does it mean that Wang Chang thought that the Huainan Army had set up an ambush and trap, so he did not dare to march?

Wu Na couldn't figure out the situation, so he could only send someone to report to Zhuge Dan. However, as soon as he arrived in Shouchun, he received the news of the Wu army besieged. The sender quickly returned to report to Wu Gang, which led to the scene of Wu Gang returning quickly.
