Han Xiang

Chapter 153

Han Dang did not plot against Long Xiang, but was hit by Xu Chu Feishi instead.

Sun Ce recalled it with lingering fears and lost the interest to continue the fight. He immediately ordered Ming Jin to retreat and return to the camp, and the danger at the South Gate of Hefei was lifted instantly.

Han Zhong was injured and defeated and returned to his horse. Sun Ce ordered some of his own soldiers to protect the wounded and return to the camp first, and arrange the affairs after the end.

Xu Chu had the courage to fall into the battle, and Sun Ce was worried that this person would take advantage of the retreat and strike behind him.

Han Dang returned to his camp and let his soldiers remove the armor, only to see that the heart-covering armor leaf on his chest was deformed by the stones, and the skin inside was black and blue.

When the armor was removed, Han Dang vomited a mouthful of blood. Seeing that the wounds were serious, several soldiers were so anxious that they were at a loss what to do, and they all shed tears and mourned.

Han Dang shouted: "Shut up with such a woman's voice. You will be shrouded in horse leather for the general. If you die, you will die. Matters in the army are important. You must not influence the morale of the army and spoil the master's plan."

Not long after, Jiangdong soldiers and horses returned to camp.

Sun Ce visited the barracks in person, and seeing Han Dang's complexion and blackened chest, he guessed that he had suffered internal injuries from being hit by a stone.

"My lord, I'm fine. I'll just sleep for one night. I'll continue to attack the city with you tomorrow."

"Don't try to be brave. I've come to treat you with the doctor in the camp. You can stay in the camp and recuperate. Don't worry about other things."

"The last general."

"The siege battle is not very smooth, and there is nowhere to use all your strength. There will be more opportunities to fall into battle in the future. I have to call all the generals to discuss matters. I will come to see you later."

"Let's go, my lord, the general will be fine"

Han Dang sent Sun Ce away in pain, secretly thankful that he had armor to protect his body today, otherwise Xu Chu Feishi might break his ribs, and he was even more grateful that he could block the knife for Sun Ce.

Xu Chu Feishi is so accurate, why didn't he hit the lord just now?
Han Dang lay on the camp bed suspiciously, and soon fell into a drowsy sleep.

Sun Ce sat in the main tent without saying a word, just kept drinking to relieve his boredom and waited until dark.

When the three main generals from the east, west and north sects came back to discuss together, Zhang Zhao, Jiang Qin and other generals from the south gate found that the lord was in a bad mood, so they were very sensible and did not speak.

Before Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others will return, the doctor's diagnosis results have already been delivered to the main account.

When Han Dang's vital parts were hit, he needed to take decoctions to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and he had to rest for a hundred days before he could go to the battlefield. However, the army only prepared medicines for external injuries, and there were no herbs for internal injuries. After hearing this, Sun Ce became even more depressed.

Soon after dark, the masters from all walks of life rushed to the main tent one after another.

Only then did Sun Ce regain his composure and asked about the situation of the other three teams today, but the results were still not satisfactory.

Only two days after the siege, more than 3000 people were killed or injured.

Although Lujiang's soldiers were not strong in combat, under the military order of 'If you don't advance, you will be killed', they have already exploded with super-level strength. If they continue to fight like this regardless of the cost, it is very likely to cause a mutiny.

After everyone's report was over, the veteran Cheng Pu stood up decisively to speak out.

"My lord, for two consecutive days of fierce attack, our army suffered huge casualties. Blindly reckless without siege equipment is not the way to use troops. Should we wait a little longer?"

It was the first time to attack the city yesterday, and all the generals saw that Hefei was more difficult to attack than Wan County, and it was extremely difficult to break through the city without equipment. Many people suggested that Sun Ce transfer from Lujiang.

After discussing with Zhou Yu, Sun Ce decided to make more preparations, and sent people to Lujiang overnight to transport the siege equipment to Hefei by water.

Quickly rush to Lujiang to ship the siege equipment to Hefei, and it will take seven or eight days at the fastest.

Sun Ce was worried that his morale would be damaged after waiting for a long time, so he motioned Cheng Pu to sit down, then turned to ask Zhou Yu for advice.

"What old general Cheng said is true. Long Xiang is well prepared. Without equipment, it may be difficult to take the city. But if the war is stopped like this, the morale of the army will be damaged. Deng Dang who sneaked into the city will also be at a loss. Does Gongjin have a good plan to deal with it?"

Zhou Yu clasped his fists and replied: "A complete truce is definitely inappropriate. The four-door attack is intended to oppress and build momentum. Since Long Xiang is well-prepared, we can change our strategy.

My lord, you might as well change the four-door attack to a round-robin attack between the various departments, so that the defenders can't understand our intentions, maybe it can have a disturbing effect, and then organize a strong attack after the equipment arrives. "

"This plan is very good."

Sun Ce nodded affirmatively, and then asked Zhang Zhao, "Since we are going to fight a protracted war, we must first ensure sufficient supplies of food and grass, Zibu, how long will there be enough food in the army?"

Zhang Zhao looked puzzled, and replied: "At first I thought I could go to Hefei quickly, but I didn't prepare too much food in a hurry, and it was estimated that it would only be enough for five or six days."

Sun Ce frowned instantly, and muttered to himself, "I can't wait for this bit of food."

"My lord, why don't you collect some from Shu County nearby? Yi Gong (Han Dang) needs to take decoction when he is injured, or he can go to Shu County with the grain urging officer to recuperate."

Cheng Pu got up to offer advice, but before Sun Ce could respond, Zhou Yu took the conversation away.

"Not long after Lujiang was taken, there were not many garrisons left. Li Shu may not be able to collect food, and General Han suffered internal injuries, so he should not be bumped by horses and horses on the way."

Sun Ce thought so deeply, and he said affirmatively: "Gongjin has thought carefully. Before we sent troops to Shu County, we had exhausted the government's grain reserves. If we extend our hands to the people at this time, it will easily stir up civil uprisings, and it will still drive people away." Let the boat cross the river to Danyang, let my uncle (Wu Jing) prepare less relief, and let Yigong go to Jiangdong to recuperate by the way."

"This method is wonderful, it's this boat." Cheng Pu hesitated to speak.

Sun Ce snorted coldly: "How can there be no boats around Chaohu Lake? It's easy to recruit a few boats. The people there must depend on Hefei. Now that Longxiang has become the enemy of Jiangdong, these people can only be counted as unlucky. First, go get some food for military use. "

"I can save it." Cheng Pu had a serious face.

Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu again: "What about the harassment at night? It doesn't seem to have much effect if it lasts for two nights. Should we just stop tonight?"

Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously, nodded and said, "Stop, but you don't have to stop all of them, you can change it to take turns to harass. I don't believe that Long Xiang can still sleep."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Sun Ce frowned.

Zhou Yu pointed to the lights in the tent for comparison: "Is it normal for everyone to light up a fire at night? If there is no fire on a certain day, or if the fire is intermittent, do you still think it is normal? We attack fiercely during the day, if there is only one door to harass at night , I guess the defenders in the city will be more nervous."

"Ah."

Sun Ce nodded in response, and immediately signaled Cheng Pu, Lu Fan and other generals.

"Just do what Gong Jin said. We will discuss how to arrange tonight."

"only."

"It would be great if Deng Dang could get things done sooner, maybe we don't have to wait until the siege equipment arrives"

Seeing Zhou Yu shaking his head and sighing, Sun Ce smiled and comforted him: "Deng Dang acted cautiously. He may still be looking for an opportunity at this time. As long as we keep attacking the city, he should find the right opportunity to seize the door."

"Well, there are a lot of exiles in Hefei, and I don't believe that Long Xiang can take care of them." Zhou Yu nodded slightly in agreement.

Sun Ce spoke highly of Deng Dang, believing that he was prudent and steady, and would definitely be able to complete the latent mission.

It's a pity that at the same time when Han Dang was hit by the flying stone, the meticulous arrest had been completed in Hefei City.

Lu Su used tricks to catch all the miscellaneous fish that sneaked in, but the cunning Deng Dang was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness. When he escaped, he stole a piece of clothing with an ID number on it, but was intercepted and captured by Cao Xing's patrols.
