Chapter 242 The reason for the attack
Zhuge Jin planned to ask the scout to contact Wancheng first and let the city know that reinforcements were coming, so as to encourage the morale of the defenders.
The morale of the defenders was high, so it was not so easy for Lu Bu to attack the city.
Lu Bu brought a lot of people, but compared with the Wancheng defenders, there was no five-to-one advantage.
The military power comparison between the siege and the defending party is less than 5 to 1, so it will never be easy to break the city.
Steadily hold the soldiers guarding the city, and they confront Lu Bu outside the city.
Lu Bu, who had a large number of troops, would definitely not be able to persist for a long time because of excessive military rations.
As long as Lu Bu's military rations were exhausted, he would not retreat.
However, judging from the current situation, the scouts they sent were intercepted and killed by Lu Bujun halfway before they arrived in Wancheng.
Although there were still a few who had not come back and were not in the car, Zhuge Jin felt that they must be in trouble.
"I decided to launch an attack on the enemy." Sun Quan said with a cold face: "It's not a problem to wait like this."
"Zhongmou should not be reckless!" Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "We can send another scouts again when they are killed. Perhaps the first group was not hidden deep, and they were discovered by the enemy. Scouts will be sent out and told them to pay attention to the enemy."
"Snooker? How to pay attention?" Sun Quan asked in annoyance: "Have you ever seen a murderer so clean?"
Zhuge Jin didn't know how to respond.
The army has always fought, and both sides will send scouts.
Compared with ordinary soldiers, scouts are best at hiding, and it is not easy to find them.
Lu Bu was able to kill their scouts so thoroughly, which shows that he had already made arrangements. Even if another group of people were sent out, someone might not be able to come back alive...
"You don't have to say anything more, and I don't want to wait any longer." Sun Quan said to Zhuge Jin: "I will now order the army to advance and advance to the outside of Wancheng City as soon as possible. Only when my brother and his soldiers saw us would have the heart to resist the enemy!"
"Although Zhongmou said it well, but..." Zhuge Jin wanted to persuade him again.
But Sun Quan raised his hand to stop him.
Then, Sun Quan ordered the guards: "Send the order and the army is ready to set off! Advance towards Wancheng!"
"Zhongmou thinks three times!" Zhuge Jin said: "Our army advances rashly, and it is precisely because of the enemy's intentions!"
"No scout came back. Not to mention contacting Wancheng, we have no way to investigate how the enemy troops deployed." Sun Quan frowned: "All our movements are under the surveillance of the enemy, but we are completely unable to understand the movements of the enemy. If we delay further, how can we fight such a battle?"
"It is precisely because we don't know the enemy's movements that we cannot send troops at will." Zhuge Jin replied: "As the main general, Zhongmou must not be impulsive. You must know that the lives of the soldiers are in your hands!"
"It is because I know that the lives of the soldiers are in my hands, so I can't let the army stay here." Sun Quan said: "The soldiers are trapped here, like trapped beasts in cages. Even if they have all their abilities, they can't use them!"
Before Zhuge Jin was arguing, Sun Quan said: "You don't have to say anything. No matter what you say, I will not change my mind!"
Sun Quan was determined to send troops, and Zhuge Jin knew that no matter what he said, it would be impossible to convince him.
Dozens of heads on the carriage really made him unable to speak.
None of the scouts sent out could come back alive, and no matter what he said, it would be impossible to get Sun Quan's understanding.
"What is that?" Sun Quan refused to obey Zhuge Jin's suggestion. A guard next to him looked up at the sky and shouted.
He looked up at the sky and saw an extremely strange "big bird" flying in the air.
The weather is clear, and the big bird is soaring in the air, and the person "catching" under it is clearly visible.
Never seen such a strange scene before, Sun Quan asked Zhuge Jin in surprise: "Have you ever seen such a thing?"
"I think it's like flying kites flying in the sky." Zhuge Jin replied: "Actually, I just heard that there is such a thing in the world, but I have never really seen it."
"What is Feiyuan?" Sun Quan had never heard of Feiyuan.
He has read a lot of books, but unfortunately most of them are military books and strategies for governing the world, and there is no strange and ingenious thing.
"It is said that the carpenter's ancestor Gongshu squad once built flying kites, which could fly in the air for three days and three nights without falling." Zhuge Jin told Sun Quan about the legend of flying kites.
After listening to his story, Sun Quan's face became very ugly: "Can Feiyuan eat people?"
"Flying kites are made of wood, how can they eat people?" Zhuge Jin replied.
As soon as he said that, he felt something was wrong.
He looked at the flying kite in the sky in surprise, and his eyes remained on the person below the flying kite.
"I said how could Lu Bu check the movements of every scout? It turned out that someone was looking down from the sky." Sun Quan clenched his fists: "Send an order, shoot arrows into the air, and shoot the man above!"
Shortly after the order was issued, the archers of the Jiangdong Army shot arrows into the sky.
The arrow flew into the air, and the glider hovering between the blue sky and white clouds saw that the momentum was wrong, so he quickly turned around and ran away.
Although the speed of the flying glider is much slower than that of the arrow, it is difficult for the arrow to catch up with him.
Even if there were a few fast-moving players who were about to catch up, they fell from mid-air due to insufficient strength.
The air soldier who controlled the glider looked back, smacked his mouth twice, and flew towards the landing point.
Seeing someone flying away in the sky, Sun Quan widened his eyes and didn't say anything for a long time.
The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were even more chaotic, and some people who were a little far away from him were even whispering and muttering something.
"Fei Yuan can't carry people. What was that just now?" After a while, Sun Quan pointed to the sky and said to Zhuge Jin: "Lu Bu has such a thing, even if I send hundreds of scouts, it's not enough for him to kill!"
Zhuge Jin also saw the scene just now with his own eyes.
When Sun Quan questioned him, he looked confused and didn't know what to say.
Lu Bu has scouts who can fly in the air. Unless they dig into the mountains, they will never be able to escape.
In terms of military information, they were already behind Lu Bu.
For Lu Bu, their every move was very clear, and for the Jiangdong Army, who could not send out scouts at all, the movements of Lu Bu's army were completely unsolvable.
Seeing the scout flying in the air with his own eyes, Zhuge Jin could no longer find a reason to persuade Sun Quan to give up.
Sun Quan once again proposed to lead troops to attack, but Zhuge Jin did not respond.
