"General Zhang, what should we do now?”a general said nervously.
The leader, Zhang Rang, had a serious look in his eyes and was extremely cautious in his heart.
Although he was a general guarding the city, he had never faced a strong enemy like Du Fuwei.
Jiang Du had always been prosperous and peaceful. These soldiers were just standing guard here symbolically. It had been a long time since a war had broken out.
Now that the notorious Jianghuai Army had appeared outside of Jiangdu with ten times the number of soldiers, it was impossible not to be afraid.
Zhang Rang tried his best to calm himself down." Don't panic. We have a strong city to defend ourselves. Why should we be afraid of these rebels?”
As the highest-ranking general in Jiang Du, he was duty-bound to carry out the responsibility of guarding this city.
After all, if he ran away like this, he would not be able to escape death when he returned to Luoyang.
Moreover, the enemy was currently defending the city, so they could only defend the city.
Surrender was even more unreliable. Du Fuwei of Jianghuai had always killed the Sui army without mercy.
"If the enemy attacks by force!" the general at the side said hesitantly. I'm afraid we can't hold on!"
Everyone nodded. They still had good judgment.
With just these few soldiers, they were no match for Du Fuwei.
Even Chen Wei was killed by Du Fuwei.
The blood vessels on Zhang Rang's forehead throbbed as he said angrily,""How can you boost others 'morale and diminish your own? If the enemy attacks forcefully, we will go all out and fight to the death!”
Everyone looked at each other and could only nod helplessly.
In any case, the Jianghuai Army would never forgive them.
It would be better to fight to the death, kill one to break even, kill two to make a profit!
The people in the city were also very flustered.
"Oh no! You should have done as I said and left Jiang Du a few days ago. I can't leave!"
"The Jianghuai Army is a little too fast!”
"What should we do now? He heard that the Jianghuai Army had committed all kinds of crimes.”
"I wonder if we can leave by boat?"
"Hey, how could the Jianghuai Army let go of the waterway?”
“........”
Everyone was panicking. They did not doubt that Du Fuwei would let go of the waterway.
With the intelligence of the Jianghuai Army, it was impossible for them to not notice this.
Jianghuai Army.
Du Fuwei smiled as if everything was under his control. He said confidently,"Haha, you haven't thought of it yet? I ordered the soldiers to surround Jiang Du, leaving only the waterway behind, giving them a way out!”
" I see. Chief is really brilliant!" The assistant was struck by lightning.”
His tone was filled with admiration for Du Fuwei's actions.
To the current Jiang Du, the most terrifying thing wasn't the desperate situation!
Instead, there was a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation!
The human heart was unpredictable! No one wanted to die!
At this time, only a few people had the ability to leave by boat.
Du Fuwei smiled faintly and accepted the compliment.
There was a trace of coldness on his weathered face.
"Pass down the order to attack Jiang Du!"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone nodded.
As Zhang Rang had expected, the Jianghuai Army had launched an attack on Jiang Du.
"General Zhang! The Jianghuai Army has begun to attack the city!" The subordinate looked nervous.
"Prepare to face the enemy!" Zhang Rang said coldly.”
In any case, they couldn't escape now. If they were captured by the Jianghuai Army, they would die.
It was better to fight vigorously and leave a reputation for a lifetime.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless arrows landed on the city walls of Jiang Du.
The soldiers guarding the city were caught off guard and suffered many casualties.
Countless Great Sui soldiers guarded the wall. They hid behind the wall and raised their shields to avoid being hit by the arrows.
Zhang Rang was furious, but there was nothing he could do. The Jianghuai Army's strength far exceeded theirs.
If they were to send troops to fight the Jianghuai Army head-on, there was a high chance that they would be badly beaten.
After all, they had few soldiers, and their soldiers were used to peaceful days and had slacked off. How could they compare to the Jianghuai Army that was charging their way here?
This sudden battle lasted for six hours.
Night fell.
The Jianghuai army sounded gold and withdrew.
"How are our losses?" Du Fuwei asked with a smile.”
"Less than 500 casualties," replied the auxiliary duke.”
Du Fuwei pondered for a moment," Not bad. These newly recruited soldiers have performed well. After this battle, they will improve a lot.”
He used Jiang Du to train the new soldiers, while the elite troops were hidden.
In any case, it was impossible for Sui Jiang to go out of the city to meet the enemy.
These newly recruited Jianghuai Army soldiers were honing themselves on this battlefield, it was the most worthwhile thing.
Since they were all new recruits, Du Fuwei didn't care about the casualties.
This way, not only could it sharpen the recruits, but it could also bring great mental pressure to Sui Jiang. It was killing two birds with one stone.
At this moment.
Jiang Du.
"General Zhang! Today, our army has suffered heavy casualties. The enemy has too many soldiers. Although we have defended the city, we have also lost many soldiers.”someone said.
Zhang Rang's expression was solemn. He looked around and saw that everyone was in a rather sorry state.
Before he could say anything, footsteps suddenly sounded.
"General Zhang!" A soldier hurried over.
"What's the matter?!" Zhang Rang asked in a deep voice.
The soldier's voice was filled with excitement." Reporting to General Zhang, the waterway is clear! The enemy did not block the waterway!"
" What?!" Everyone exclaimed.
Zhang Rang was also shocked.
"Is the news true?" he asked in a deep voice. How could the enemy not intercept them?"
The soldier said,"This…" I don't know why the enemy didn't stop them, but the waterway is indeed smooth! Some people had already left by boat.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange.
Everyone's eyes flickered.
Zhang Rang was stunned. The determination to die in his heart instantly wavered.
Judging from Du Fuwei's power today, it was only a matter of time before they could take down the enemy. Perhaps they would not be able to hold on for a few days.
If they couldn't defend it, it meant that they were going to die!
But now, they seemed to have a chance to escape?!
..........
"Your Highness!" "We still have three days to reach Jiang Du." Qin Shubao said in a deep voice.”
"I wonder what Jiang Du is like now?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.”
