But Zhu Yi looked embarrassed. It was not that Zhu Yi was unwilling to do his best. Back then, Zhu Yi was also a famous general in the Wu Kingdom. He charged forward and had outstanding military achievements. This time, the biggest difficulty facing the Wu army was not the strong defenders, but the bad weather.

The rainy weather for several days made the Wu army's attack difficult. It was only 30 miles from the north shore of Chaohu Lake to Hefei New City, but the rainy and miserable weather made the road muddy, and Wu army's vehicles were trapped in it and could not even be pushed out.

What made the Wu army even more unbearable was that the Wu army did not wear clothes to shelter from the rain. With Sun Feng urging the ground to tighten, the Wu army could only advance in the rain. All the clothes were wet, cold and tide, and miserable. Many soldiers were even more infected with the cold, the high fever did not subside, and they fell ill countless times.

Under such circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the Wu army was naturally greatly reduced. Hefei New City, known as the strong city fortress, is the most difficult fortress to conquer. Even under good weather conditions, it is very difficult for the Wu army to conquer the city. But in such bad weather, it is like climbing to the sky to win the new city.

During the Battle of Dongxing, although Ding Feng had a miracle of fighting in the snow, such a battle was almost irrepeated, because the Wei army could not always be in a state of defense. Although the weather was bad at this time, the defenders of Xincheng were still on guard and on high alert under the command of Zhuge Liang. Even if the Wu army wanted to attack, they would have no chance at all.

In this case, the effect of siege is of course ridiculously poor. Zhu Yi has already worked very hard, but there is still no progress. Zhu Yi originally wanted to ask Sun Jing to slow the attack on the new city, and it will not be too late to attack again after the weather has improved.

But Sun Chen was willing to agree that this time he attacked Huainan was completely taking advantage of the Wei army's unpreparedness and the army was empty, and he wanted to take Huainan in one fell swoop. If the war delayed for a long time, Cao Liang sent reinforcements over, and the Wu army would have no chance to take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

Therefore, Sun Chen was furious at Zhu Yi's shirk responsibility, believing that Zhu Yi was deliberately delaying the war and neglecting the morale of the army. He ordered Zhu Yi to be captured and beheaded at the gate.

The generals were shocked. Killing the generals in the face of battle is a taboo in military strategists, and it is very easy to shake the morale of the army. What's more, the war is not good now, and the main reason is the weather, not Zhu Yi's personal problem. Sun Feng used this as an excuse to kill Zhu Yi, which was really difficult to convince the public.

So the generals pleaded with Sun Chen, hoping that he could keep someone under the knife.

Sun Feng had a dark face and ignored everyone. In fact, the reason why Sun Feng insisted on beheading Zhu Yi was not entirely because he delayed the war, but because Sun Feng and Zhu Yi had had personal grudges before.

Zhu Yi's father Zhu Huan was a famous general in the Wu State. He had great military achievements, but he was arrogant and did not deserve the powerful. Sun Qian's father was Sun Chuo, the commander of Anmin. Relying on his relationship with the Sun clan, he bullied the Heng village. When Zhu Huan was the prefect in the local area, he severely punished Sun Chuo according to the law. The two families have since become enemies.

Logically speaking, Sun Jing's lineage was originally Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing, and belonged to the Sun family. It has a low status. The Zhu family is also a Jiangdong clan and has a great influence. Even if it is Emperor Sun Quan of Wu, he would give the Zhu family some face. Zhu Zhen punished Sun Chuo, who committed a crime, so naturally he did not take this matter seriously.

Knowing that Sun Feng is narrow-minded and is a vengeful person. His father was punished. Sun Feng thought this was a great humiliation and had always held grudges.

However, Sun Feng used to have a low position, and even if he wanted to take revenge, he was powerless. Now he has become a general, with great power. Looking back on the hatred of that year, Sun Feng naturally wants to take revenge.

So Zhu Yi was not dying because of delaying and neglecting the morale of the army. This was just an excuse that Sun Jing had casually found so that he could kill Zhu Yi with justification.

The generals did not know the inside story and just pleaded for mercy and waived. However, Sun Yu had already had a desire to kill him, so how could he stop? Soon, the swordsman had already presented Zhu Yi's head. The generals looked at it and remained silent, and could only sigh secretly.

The great revenge was revenged, but Sun Jing was in a good mood. The feng shui of the past thirty years changed, and the shame his father suffered back then finally returned with all his capital and profit.

Sun Qian ordered Zhu Yi's head to hang high outside the gate, and ordered the army that those who dared not to accept orders, delay military orders, and neglected the morale of the army would be the same as Zhu Yi and would be executed immediately.

The troops couldn't help but feel resentful, but now Sun Feng is in power and has the power to kill first and then report. Who dares to touch his tiger beard can only remain silent, but privately complain about it.

Moreover, someone revealed that Sun Jing and the Zhu family had personal grudges. Now the army understood that Zhu Yi did not make a mistake. It was clearly that Sun Jing was taking personal grudges. He was so narrow-minded, but he secretly held a high position. Everyone sighed that there was no one in the Wu Kingdom.

Seeing that the war was unfavorable, Sima Yi took the initiative to stand up and asked Sun Jing for a fight. He was willing to lead the troops from the headquarters to attack the city.

Even if Sima Yizheng surrendered to the Wu Kingdom, he was still thinking about the great cause of revenge. Taking advantage of Cao Liang's use of troops to Yongliang, it would be a great opportunity to recover Huainan. What's more, if the war in Huainan escalates, it would be beneficial to Sima Yan who fled to Liangzhou. Once Cao Liang divided his troops to deal with it, Sima Yan would be under much less pressure, which could be regarded as helping Sima Yan from the side.

Now that the Wu army's attack on the new city is not good, it naturally cannot attract Cao Liang's attention, so Sima Yiqiang took the initiative to ask for the battle, hoping to achieve some results and win the Hefei New City.

Sun Qian couldn't help but sigh that Sima Yichang, as a surrendered general, could stand up on his own initiative. There were so many generals in the Wu army who were greedy for life and feared death. No wonder Wu was worse than his generation in recent years.

After Sima Yiqiang received Sun Jing's permission, he led his 30,000 troops to join the siege.

On the same day when Sima Yichang sent troops, the weather in Huainan suddenly turned clear, and the rainy days of the days finally ended.

War was originally an indispensable element of the right time, place and people. The importance of the time was self-evident. At this time, the weather turned sunny, and Sima Yichang was even more shocked. It seems that God also wanted to help him, so he led his army to move forward to Xincheng, and together with Ding Feng, launched a strong attack on Xincheng from both sides.

After more than twenty days of continuous fierce battle, the Wei army guarding the city finally lost its support. Zhuge Liang abandoned the city and fled, giving up the new city. Sima Yichang's army entered the new city. After a bloody battle, he finally took down the new city.
