The Three Kingdoms

After the news that Sun Quan was still alive, Sun Ce had already begun to deploy a defensive campaign against Jinling City. He did not hesitate to abandon all his reputation and all the background of the imperial court, and forced the young and strong to serve as an army in Jinling City, and he also wanted to defend Jinling City. .

In the Military Aircraft Pavilion.

One by one, the generals who were still finally Sun Ce gathered together to study the countermeasures for this battle in detail on a sand table with a radius of hundreds of miles around Jinling City.

"Jinling City is now facing a complete siege. There are heavy forces in the southeast and northwest. We have very little chance of winning this battle!"

"The Yangtze River is a natural danger. As long as we defend the Yangtze River, we can let go of the battlefield in the north, and then concentrate our main force to defend the attack from the south. As long as we hold the Yangtze River for one month, the enemy outside the city will have to retreat because of food and grass problems. Defend Jinling City!"

"But it is very difficult or even impossible to hold on for a month!"

"Don't forget, the enemy army has a navy to help out!"

"Once there are boats, it's easy for them to cross the river!"

"Although the solid defense line we established in Stone City may not be able to prevent the main attack from the northwest, none of us has a bottom!"

"Once the army is approaching the city, we have basically lost the chance of winning!"

"Is there no better way to defend Jinling City?"

"The first emperor personally led the army to besiege the city, what can be done!"

The military generals in the hall, you say what you say, and the tone of your words is completely helpless.

"They are all a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Sun Ce's lion eyes swept across, his eyes were cold, but he felt helpless in his heart.

Sun Quan is the spiritual leader of the Wu soldiers.

His majesty has been imprinted in the hearts of every genuine Great Wu soldier, and now these soldiers want to fight him, naturally they all have no confidence and courage.

"Your Majesty, on the other side of the river west, the sound of drums is already beating!"

A scout officer quickly came to report.

"They want to cross the river!"

The faces of all the generals were suddenly pale.

"Chang Zheng, Cheng Pu, can you defend Stone City!"

"I will try my best at the end!"

The two looked at each other, and neither of them dared to say that they would be able to defend the fortress Stone City to the west of Jinling City.

"You immediately lead the Wild Lion Legion and Dongzhi Legion, use Stone City as a line of defense, and resolutely not allow them to cross the river, you must block them to the west!"

"promise!"

The two took the lead.

In the hall, there was some silence.

"Your Majesty, what about the main forces in the second theater in the east and south?"

"You personally guard the southeast, and you will never allow Zhou Gongjin to lead the army to break through the city. As long as I am still alive, I must fight to the end!"

Sun Ce's voice sounded again: "Now pass my order, the whole city is under martial law, no one is allowed to walk on the streets, no one is allowed to enter the city walls, no one is allowed to approach the battlefield, if you violate the order, you will be killed without mercy!"

"promise!"

A general surrendered.

"All of you, go get ready!" Sun Ce waved his hands at the generals, "I've worked hard in this battle, and I hope you will do the same. As long as we can resist for a month, we will be able to sit firmly in the court for your future tomorrow." , and also for my tomorrow, all gentlemen encourage each other!"

"Swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"

The generals strengthened their wavering fighting spirit.

Sun Ce returned to the imperial study and immediately summoned Zhang Zhao.

"How is the recruiting going?"

"One hundred thousand young men have been recruited, but this matter has already caused a great impact in Jinling City. I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain your majesty's reputation in the future!" Zhang Zhao said in a low voice.

In just one or two months, one hundred thousand young and strong were recruited in one go. Even Jinling City, a city with a population of several million, was enough to seriously injure its vitality.

Zhang Zhao was not willing.

But in the current situation, he seems to have reached a dead end, and he has no way to turn back, so he can only go to the end, or hit the blocked wall to see if he can find a way,

"My lord Chief Assistant, Sun Zhongmou has come, now whether we can live until tomorrow is a question, who can care about tomorrow!"

Sun Ce smiled lightly.

He is just crazy.

He did everything he could, and even blocked his reputation all his life, in order to squeeze out more strength, and make a break with that old enemy who has been lingering for a lifetime under Jinling City.

"How do you plan to fight?"

Zhang Zhao was very worried. Although Sun Bofu was a wild lion in the army and an overlord, he was facing no ordinary people, and the enemy's strength was far superior to them.The hope of this battle is actually very slim.

"How to fight?"

There was a gleam of coldness in Sun Ce's eyes: "I didn't deploy a single soldier to the east or south. I put all my troops on the battlefield of the Yangtze River. I want to fight Sun Zhongmou!"

Although Zhang Zhao doesn't know much about military affairs, he can't say he doesn't know anything about it. Zeng Jin is also a military adviser, so he has a little understanding of the layout of the battle situation. Sun Ce is hiding it from everyone. Such an arrangement is self-evident.

"You want to take the initiative!"

Zhang Zhaoyin said with a gloomy face: "You should know that we only need to defend at this time. As long as we can hold off for a month, we can let them withdraw safely!"

"Master Shoufu, are you sure that the news about Wu Jun's lack of food is correct?" Sun Ce asked quietly.

"This one……"

"Don't underestimate Sun Zhongmou. Although he was defeated on the battlefield of the Western Regions for a while, he is still the strongest hunter on the battlefield. Maybe he is really hungry. After all, without the support of the central government, hundreds of thousands of troops marched south. He's under a lot of pressure!"

Sun Ce knew Sun Quan very well: "But based on what I know about him, he is definitely not a person who easily exposes his shortcomings, so I don't believe a word of the news that their army is short of food!"

"But it's too risky to take the initiative!"

"They can afford it, but I can't afford it!"

Sun Ce raised his head and raised his chest: "Although you don't admit it, I have to say that this Jinling City is as solid as gold for us, but for them, it may not be so. What happened to Xuanwumen back then, Mr. Shoufu? I want to do it again!"
