Chapter 1922 The Longest Night

When the Wei army reached Jianye City, it was already dusk. The Wei army was originally preparing to take down Jianye City overnight, but when they attacked the city, they found that the resistance of Jianye City was stronger than they imagined, so Yang Hu ordered the siege to be temporarily suspended, but only surrounded Jianye City and attacked again tomorrow.

Anyway, Jianye City is already a thing in his palm, and the news he heard that Wu Lord Sun Xiu had not fled and was still in the palace, so Yang Hu was not in a hurry. After resting for a night, it would not be difficult to mobilize a large army tomorrow and capture Jianye City.

The Wei army's crossing the river was unprecedentedly successful. Due to its sufficient preparations in advance, proper strategy and tactics, and excellent hidden work, the Wei army caught Wu army off guard as soon as it took. In less than an hour, it easily destroyed the powerful naval army of Wu and cleared obstacles for crossing the river.

If Ding Feng had not resisted hard, the battle would have been more smooth. No matter how brave Ding Feng was, he would have just stopped the chariot by his arm and struggled in vain. With Ding Feng's death in battle, the Wu River Defense System was declared bankrupt. The Wei army successfully controlled the Yangtze River coast and launched an attack on Jianye City.

Although Sima Yichang's resistance delayed the Wei army's siege, it would not affect the overall situation at all. The Wu Kingdom fled and dispersed, and the people had long been dispersed. Sima Yichang, an outsider, had almost no prestige in Jiangdong, so the power he could gather was extremely limited. The defeat of Wu Kingdom would never have any variables because of Sima Yichang's rise.

Even if Master Wu Sun Xiu stood up, he could not save the crisis. Whether it was field battles or siege battles, the Wei army had a clear advantage. After crossing the Yangtze River, the Wu Kingdom had nothing to resist the Wei army's attack.

Yang Hu was not in a hurry to attack the city overnight. He had already received the exact news. Lord Wu Sun Xiu did not leave Jianye. As long as the Wei army surrounded Jianye City, Sun Xiu was a bird in a cage and could not fly away even if he had wings.

This night, the people of Jianye City were destined to spend the time in panic. At this time, the news of the death of Master Wu Sun Xiu had not spread, which undoubtedly gave the people who stayed in Jianye a lot of confidence. After all, His Majesty the Emperor is still in the capital, and the people of Wu still have hope.

This night was particularly long, and many people in Jianye City couldn't sleep all night. Before yesterday, they were still living a peaceful life. No one seemed to have thought that the Wei army could really break through the Yangtze River defense line and approach the city. So when all this suddenly came, the whole country of Wu was in extreme panic and shock.

Of course, most of the powerful people have run away at this moment. Even ordinary people who have relatives and friends from other places are scrambling to leave the city and flee. Most of those who stay in Jianye are reluctant to let their own industries that Jianye spends a lot of money to buy or have no choice but to leave Jianye. After hesitation and hesitation, they lose the opportunity to leave the city.

But the people who stayed in Jianye suddenly became worried again in the face of the numerous sieges of the Wei army. No one knew about whether the Wei army would massacre the city after entering the city.

Wei and Wu have been in a feud for many years. Over the years, countless soldiers on both sides have died in battle on the battlefield. After the Wei army conquered Jianye, it is very likely that in order to vent their anger in their hearts, they will attack the innocent people of Wu.

If this is true, then those who stay in Jianye City will undoubtedly be miserable.

When the rumors of the massacre of the city came out, almost all the people and soldiers who stayed in Jianye became uneasy. It was difficult to prove the authenticity of this news, but now most people would rather believe it than not. Many people regret it. If they had known that other people would have fled during the day, they should have joined the ranks of escape. In any case, the chances of leaving Jianye would be much higher. If they stayed in Jianye, they would definitely die.

Under the control of this fear, when Sima Yiqiang raised his arms and shouted, almost everyone responded. Jianye City was the capital of Wu. The city was strong and the defense was complete. If someone really led his troops to call everyone to defend the city, he might not be able to defend the city. Therefore, both the soldiers of the Wu army and the civilians of Jianye City were enthusiastically joined Sima Yiqiang's team.

Even Sima Yichang did not expect such a result. Originally, Sima Yichang returned to Jianye and took on the heavy responsibility of city defense, and he had the determination to die. After all, with the army of thousands of people under his command, it was impossible for him to stop the more than 100,000 Wei army's army. Such a mantis arm blocking the chariot was just Sima Yichang's unwilling mood to do something, and he was just preparing to fight between death.

But unexpectedly, after entering the city, there would be so many soldiers and people from Wu joining his team. The number of people is power. Although this is just a group of mobs, as long as there are many people, there is still hope to defend Jianye City.

Especially when I heard that His Majesty Sun Xiu was still in the palace, it undoubtedly gave these soldiers and civilians who were guarding the city a reassurance. It doesn’t matter whether other ministers escape or not. As long as His Majesty is still there, it proves that His Majesty did not abandon them and prove that there is still hope for Jianye City to defend.

Amidst anxiety and expectation, the people of Wu finally welcomed the rising sun in the east. This day will be the day that determines the ownership of Jianye and the survival of Wu. Many people who stay in Jianye now believe that as long as His Majesty Sun Xiu is with them, they will definitely be able to defend Jianye and wait for the army that will serve the king. As long as they can hold on for a while, there will still be hope for reinforcements from all over the country to protect Jianye City.

So after entering the city, Sima Yichang recruited tens of thousands of people, but there were not enough weapons. He opened the arsenal, which was stocked with a large number of weapons, swords, spears, swords, and crossbows. There were all kinds of food and grass. If there was not enough food and grass, then opened the granary and distributed the food and grass materials to the people to overcome the difficulties together.

In fact, Sima Yichang was quite grateful to those high-ranking officials who escaped earlier. There were no tigers in the mountains and monkeys called kings. If Zhang Bu Puyangxing and other ministers and generals were there, it would not be his turn to Sima Yichang to issue orders.

Now, the ministers and generals of the Wu Kingdom fled one after another, and the dragons had no leader. With his identity as a general of cavalry, he is undoubtedly the highest.

But Sima Yiqiang was very surprised. Why did Master Wu Sun Xiu not leave the palace with Zhang Bu Puyangxing? Could it be that there were any other reasons?
