Chapter 111 Retreat

A click attracted the eyes of everyone on the battlefield, and then a click of more than ten-meter-high well began to tilt. With the tilting sound of the well, the well fell to the ground more than ten meters high in just a moment, and the dust was raised and then blown away by the wind to reveal the collapsed well. There are still many Jiangdong soldiers struggling to think about it.

Looking at the fallen soldiers in the east of the Yangtze River, it was hard to hide their blult. Even Taishi Ci and Han Dang beside Zhou Yu also looked unbelievable. Zhou Yu silently looked at the fallen well and turned around and ordered a few words behind him. A messenger quickly left to convey Zhou Yu's order. Soon, the soldiers on the high platform waved the flag again, and the rest of the soldiers on the well moved.

The soldiers on more than ten wells were all holding bows and arrows high to prepare to shoot at Xiushui County. The soldiers on the high platform waved the flag and the five soldiers in the remaining nine wells to let go. In an instant, thousands of bows and arrows flew to the city. The soldiers in the city raised their shields again to prepare to resist, and hit them in a hurry. The sound spread all over the audience.

As soon as the sound fell, the shield before the giant crossbow was put down again, but when the shield was first put down, hundreds of arrows fell down. Unlike last time, the arrows were all concentrated in the giant crossbow. It turned out that just after the soldiers on the five wells shot and suppressed the soldiers in the city, the remaining four soldiers on the wells shot all the arrows at the five giant crossbows.

Hundreds of thousands of arrows hit more than a dozen soldiers who controlled the giant crossbow. No matter how sophisticated the armor was, they could not resist it. The arrows suddenly hit the thick armor on the soldiers into pieces. Then more than a dozen soldiers were pierced by the arrows that followed, and even the giant military crossbows in their hands were flying. The arrows were smashed by the impact, and the shields that were put on the ground in front of the famous soldiers were also hit and cracked, and these shields that were thick enough to resist the giant crossbows were destroyed.

Jiangdong soldiers, who were originally a little unacceptable because the well was destroyed, immediately burst into cheers. Xu Shu in the city looked gloomy. He didn't expect that Zhou Yu could think of a way so soon. When he looked at the five giant military crossbows, they could destroy at least three manholes in Jiangdong. Looking at the Jiangdong soldiers cheering outside the city, Xu Shu waved his hand, and the city immediately rushed to nearly a hundred soldiers. These soldiers all carried huge shields to block the place that had been destroyed.

Zhou Yu outside the city took a look at Tai Shici beside him and said, "Go back ten miles to camp."

Tai Shici and Han Dang are all shocked. Although there are more losses in Jiangdong, the siege is originally a matter of military force, and the current situation is beneficial to Jiangdong no matter from which direction. The two were about to persuade when they saw Zhou Yu waving their hands and said, "Today, the army is already extremely tired and attacking the city. At this time, it is the limit of soldiers. In addition, although there are dozens of boulders in the trebugger, it is not enough to destroy the wall of Xiushui County. More boulders are needed."

Tai Shici and the two nodded to pass the order. In a short time, all the soldiers who attacked the city came back at a very high level. Tai Shici personally pressed the rear to prevent the soldiers and horses from attacking in the city.

When all the people in the city saw Jiangdong's retreat, they were happy. Although the attack just now was short, hundreds of soldiers and horses were lost in the city. Although it was not much, they also saw the horror of the strong attack.

Liu Pan even pushed away the shield in front of him and ran to Xu Shu and said, "Military division, Jiang Dong has retreated. Do you want to chase it now?"

Xu Shu took a look at Liu Pan and shook his head and said, "No, look, the Tai Shici's pressure in the rear is to prepare for our sneak attack, and now he can't relax his guard. If Jiangdong soldiers and horses kill a soldier back to the city, he will suffer heavy losses."

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Pan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to be on guard, but Jiangdong soldiers left without any intention of turning back to make this preparation empty.

Seeing that Jiangdong's army left, Xu Shu was relieved and turned his head and looked at the scattered giant military crossbow and said to Ma Liang beside him, "Put up these military crossbow fragments and gather the bows and arrows in the city to see if they can be repaired?"

Ma Liang nodded and ordered people to clean up these photos to gather the craftsmen. These military crossbows are sharp weapons to deal with wells. If there are no military crossbows, the soldiers in the city tomorrow will be overwhelmed by Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and the losses will be even more serious.

Xu Shu looked at Huang Zhong again and said, "Let's sort out the battlefield." After saying that, a group of soldiers and horses came to the city to pick up the corpses and weapons in the city, and the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong outside the city had already taken away all the bodies of the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong.

Jiangdong's army retreated ten miles to camp. At this time, Zhou Yu looked at Taishici, Han Dang and more than a dozen young generals in front of him and said, "There is no boulder today. Even if you forcibly attack the city, you will lose a lot. You need one person to lead the boulder to collect boulders for tomorrow's siege. Who will wait? Go?"

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, three or four young generals came forward and said, "The last general is willing to go."

Zhou Yu nodded and looked at several people: "Wait for everyone to lead a thousand soldiers to look for the boulder and beware of the sneak attack of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou."

"No." The four young generals immediately took orders and went out of the big account.

Zhou Yu looked at Taishi Ci beside him and said, "You lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to ambush outside Xiushui County. If Xiushui County sends soldiers and horses, you don't have to pay attention to them. When they return, you will ambush on the road."

"No." Taishi Ci bowed to the order and left.

Zhou Yu looked at Han Dang again and said, "You lead the soldiers and horses to ambush outside the camp. If you see Jingzhou soldiers and horses coming to steal the front and back of the camp, you must not let anyone go."

"No." Han Dang took the order immediately.

Zhou Yu divided the remaining ten young generals into two teams to be responsible for the defense of the camp in the middle of the night, and each pair was divided into five batches of four sides and the central army guarding the camp.

After ordering, Zhou Yu looked at the direction of Xiushui County and said nothing for a long time. His arrangement was not sure that Xu Shu would definitely order someone to attack, but he would not let go of any opportunity. In any case, the soldiers and horses in the city can't compete with the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong. In order to reduce the pressure during the day, Xu Shu will definitely send people to attack. The stone dump truck and wells are the focus of their sneak attack. Zhou Yu has to guard against it.

Thinking of Zhou Zhouyu, he shouted outside the door again, "Come on."

As soon as the voice fell, a general opened the curtain and came in. This person was Sun Ce's personal captain sent to Zhou Yu and was selected from the Guards. When the man saw Zhou Yu, he bowed down and said, "Big Governor."

Zhou Yu nodded and ordered the man to go forward and whisper a few words in his ear and then ordered the man to prepare.
