By the moat, Zhou Tai was fighting for his life to grab water, and the Qin army artillery on the opposite side was bombing. This bucket of barrels could even be said to be not water, but blood of the Eastern Wu soldiers.

The fire started from the third day of the day and burned until dawn. Although Jia Xu's fire attack strategy caught Zhou Yu off guard, Zhou Yu was still calm in the face of danger and directed the fire to put out.

The east and north directions of the city where the most severe fire in Chanling City were completely burned to ashes. At this time, there were still open fires and dark fires burning.

The lighter fires have already extinguished most of the fires under Zhou Yu's command.

After saving the south and west of the city, Zhou Yu simply stopped paying attention to the severe fire in the east and north directions. The fires in these two places were too big and there was no need to put out the fire.

However, the situation in Chanling City is very serious now, and all the soldiers gathered in the south and west of the city. At this time, the south and west of Chanling City had reached a point where people were crowded and crowded.

Outside Chanling City, above the earthen mountain,

At this time, the Eastern Wu army was no longer fetching water from the moat, so the Qin army's artillery was no longer roaring. However, after the high-intensity bombing this night, the Qin army's artillery was already red, and even the barrel was soft.

"Hey, this Zhou Yu is not simple. Since he has saved the west and south of the city."

"It seems that this Chanling City has to be forced." Jia Xu sighed and said.

A big fire did not achieve the expected effect, and of course, it also caused heavy losses to the Eastern Wu army and horses in Chanling City.

"If Zhou Yu can command the water and land army in Jiangdong this time, if he doesn't even have such a little command, he will be called the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu."

"The fire of the military advisor can be said to have burned the Eastern Wu army with all its courage. Now most of the city in Chanling has been turned into ashes. Compared with the Wu army's food, grass and weapons must have fallen into the sea of ​​fire. Now most of the Wu army are afraid that it will be even more difficult to find a place to sleep on." Chen Qingzhi stood on the earthen mountain and stared at the city and said.

"King Qin, we are here!" At this moment, a loud shout came and Li Chen stepped up to the Tushan Mountain.

"Military advisor, celebrate."

"Did you two release this fire in Chanling City?" Li Chen asked at them.

"This plan was made by me and has nothing to do with the general. I would like to ask the King of Qin to punish me." Jia Xu said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Li Chen thought to himself, why should I punish you? This fire is afraid that it will kill many soldiers and horses of the Eastern Wu. This is a great achievement, so how can I come from?

"Wenhe said this, how could he say punishment?" Li Chen asked in confusion.

"King of Qin, you have to punish me for this matter. It's better that you have to hit me with dozens of military sticks." Jia Xu said with a serious face.

Jia Xu's words surprised Li Chen very much. He said that he was a great achievement, but he had to let himself punish him, and it would be better to beat him.

Good guy, this Jia Wenhe is not a shaking M, so he has to let himself whip him hard, right?

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help but feel chills.

"Wenhe, this is rewarded for merits, and punishment for mistakes. If you ask me to punish you, there must be a reason, right?" Li Chen asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu explained: "King Qin, although this fire caused heavy losses to the soldiers of the Eastern Wu, there were not only the soldiers of the Eastern Wu, but also some people who remained in the city."

"The killing is ominous, not to mention that this fire has killed many people of Eastern Wu by mistake today. If I don't punish me, Jia Xu, I'm afraid I will be verbally rude in the future."

Jia Xu was also considering Li Chen. Li Chen would ascend the throne and sit in the palace to be the emperor in the future. Since he wanted to be the emperor, he had to establish a kind and kind character. If not, he would be afraid that even if he became the emperor, he would have to be pierced by these poor scholars and sour scholars.

Just like in the history of the previous life, during the disputes between the Three Kingdoms, he may not be able to compete with Cao Wei when the Eastern Wu and Shu Han were at their peak.

From this great point of view, Cao Cao, who holds Emperor Xian of Han, is also orthodox.

But even so, people still widely believe that the Shu Han, who lives in Bashu, is the orthodox.

This is the charm of the character. Although Liu Bei ran around in the first half of his life and achieved nothing, he established a character of kindness and kindness. Although Cao Cao had the strongest strength and the largest territory, he was a heroic character who used the emperor to command the princes.

The reason why Jia Xu was unwilling to tell Li Chen when he used the plan to burn Chanling. His purpose was that these dirty and tiring work needed to be slandered, and all the work that required them to do.

But Li Chen needs to ascend the throne to the future and leave his reputation as loving the people as his son in advance.

What Jia Xu said is indeed good, but who is Li Chen? Li Chen is a bandit-born person, so he doesn’t care about so much.

In Li Chen's opinion, there is nothing wrong with loving the people as if they were your son. But who are the people in Chanling City now? They are the people of the Eastern Wu. Only after the Chanling is captured can these people be the people of his Great Qin. Since they are the people of the Eastern Wu, what does it have to do with him if they die or live?

According to the scholar, those who remained in the city and did not escape at this time were all hard-core supporting Wu elements. In Li Chen's opinion, these people were not too much dead.

"Wenhe is thinking too much. I, Li Chen, is a bandit and I don't know so many great principles."

"I only know one thing now, that is, the confrontation between the enemy and us is either you die or I live. Before the Eastern Wu army in the city surrendered, no means can be used to exaggerate."

"It may not be a good thing to die in Chanling City," Li Chen said coldly.

There were many people dead in Chanling City, which made the Wu army know that the Qin Dynasty was irresistible. If the enemy's willpower could be destroyed in a battle, then a lot of strength would be left in the subsequent attack.

"The general thought, how should we fight the next battle?" Jia Xu looked at Chen Qingzhi and asked.

Chen Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, "The military advisor's fire turned half of Chanling City into ashes. The food and weapons in the city suffered heavy losses. With so many Eastern Wu soldiers in the city, the daily food and grass consumed is a huge number."

"In my opinion, we will respond to all changes with the same change. We will now surround and not attack. When the food and grass in the city are exhausted, this Chanling City will be destroyed without attacking."

In Chen Qingzhi's view, the Qin army now has occupied the absolute initiative on the battlefield. Since this is the case, there is no need to spend troops to force the city.

If you forcefully attack the city, although you can take down Chanling City as soon as possible, it will inevitably consume a large number of troops. This will affect the subsequent attack rhythm.
