In the early morning of early summer, the sun rises over the mountains earlier and earlier.

The thin mist quickly dissipated under the sunshine.

Wen Qin also got up earlier than before, and it could even be said that he didn't dare to sleep too much at all.

It was not bright yet, so he hurried to the top of the city.

The Wu army's violent attack on the city yesterday was so unexpected that he couldn't help but be careless.

Watching the first ray of sunshine break through the mist, shining on the Wu Army camp outside the city.

Wen Qin's heart became heavier and heavier.

The reinforcements coming from Hefei were blocked to the east.

As for the Wu army in the south, based on the size of the camp, there should be at least 60,000 to 70,000 troops.

Compared to the nearly 10,000 defenders in the city, we are truly outnumbered.

However, there is no way around this.

After all, in the Yangzhou area, Hefei should be the first place to garrison troops, followed by Shouchun.

As for Lu'an, its location is a bit off after all, and its strategic position is far inferior to that of Hefei.

Not to mention Shouchun, the core of Yangzhou.

If Lu'an was not on the front line and a county government, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be these 10,000 people.

But Wen Qin also knew that there was nothing that could be done about it.

Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, had conflicts with himself.

Except for the necessary defenders, the other party cannot allow them to lead too many troops.

The most important thing is actually that in the early years, the Wei Dynasty lost too many troops in the west.

The late emperor had to mobilize troops from all over the country to fill the gap in the west.

Who would have thought that Sima Yi, that traitor, actually harbored huge ambitions.

Yangzhou faced the Wu invaders, and it seemed that it was not greatly affected by the Battle of Guanzhong.

In fact, all the reserve forces in Qingxu and even Yanzhou have been mobilized.

The vitality that Yangzhou had finally recovered in the past few years after the Battle of Shiting was exhausted again.

In addition, in the past few years, the Wei Dynasty was divided into two. In order to maintain the huge military strength of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, Xuchang.

While using up the last of his family's wealth, he had to increase taxes.

The drought last year made the situation even worse for the Wei Dynasty.

Even in Runan, which is doing the best in farming, I heard that riots by farmers also occurred last year.

One can imagine the corrupt situation in various places in Kanto.

Even the Wei Dynasty almost couldn't hold on, so why did the Wu invaders have enough energy to invade the north?

Wen Qin was thinking a lot and was worried, but he saw that the Wu army under the city had begun to make movements.

He quickly shuddered, put all his thoughts back, and looked at it intently.

However, they saw that the Wu army did not attack the city again, but sent a battalion to circle the city and head east.

At this time, sending troops and horses to the east has no other choice but to block the reinforcements coming from the east.

After Wen Qin figured this out, his spirits suddenly lifted.

It seems that although Wang Yanyun is at odds with him, he still knows that the overall situation is the most important thing, and he must have sent a lot of reinforcements.

Otherwise, the Wu invaders would not have sent troops to the east at this critical moment of attacking the city.

What confused him was that the Wu invaders were in the south, but there was not much movement.

"It's strange, the thieves were so desperate yesterday, but they didn't attack the city today?"

The general next to him spoke out the thoughts of the Wei army who was waiting in full formation.

Wen Qin said nothing, but looked intently in the direction of Wu Jun.

But he didn't have a telescope, so naturally he couldn't see much.

The only thing that can be concluded seems to be that the number of soldiers sent by Wu Kou to cut down trees has increased.

After a while, Wen Qin's eyes flashed, he suddenly laughed, and slapped his big hand on the city wall:

"I already know the traitor's plan! I'm afraid Wu Kou may have miscalculated this time and will be unable to succeed."

Hearing what the general said, the left and right couldn't help but look at each other.

"General, how do you say this?"

someone asked cautiously.

Wen Qin pointed to the city and said confidently:

"Sun Quan went to Hefei with great fanfare, but secretly sent so many troops here."

"Isn't it possible that he has the intention to capture Liu'an in one go, and then turn east to attack Hefei from a flank?"

"If not, why would Lu'an City be surrounded without leaving any gaps?"

The so-called besieging the army is to make the defenders in the city have the intention to escape and not to have the intention of fighting to the death.

The reason why Wu Kou laid siege to Lu'an this time was to prevent the city from sending messengers to Hefei to inform them of the situation here.

"This also explains why they tried their best to attack the city yesterday before fully building the siege equipment."

Don't you just want to capture Lu'an City before the reinforcements arrive?

If I hadn't defeated the Ximen Wu bandits from the beginning and sent the message in time.

If Wang Yanyun had not led the army to Hefei from the beginning, reinforcements could have been sent nearby in time.

It's hard to say that Wu Kou will only succeed half way.

As for the other half, of course Wu Kou underestimated Lu'an City's defense.

"When the Wu invaders arrived in a hurry, they probably had already rolled out all the siege equipment they had built in the past few days during yesterday's battle."

Wen Qin smiled even more happily:

"Who would have expected that all those siege equipment would be destroyed. Naturally, they won't be able to produce any more siege equipment today."

How to attack a city without siege equipment?

Do we just rely on those light ladder ants to attack the city?

Maybe the Han army would dare to do this.

But Wu Kou...

It wasn't that Wen Qin looked down on Wu Jun.

But after guarding Liu'an for so many years, Wen Qin had long understood the character of the soldiers of the Wu invaders who invaded the north every year.

They plundered the people's wealth and rushed to be the first, but it was rare to conquer the city.

There were not many siege equipment, and reinforcements from Hefei arrived early, so the Wu invaders became timid, which makes sense.

After hearing the general's analysis, everyone suddenly realized and said:

"Good morning, General!"

Although there are some people who have concerns and always feel that something is not right, at this time, they dare not say anything to undermine morale.

In fact, Wen Qin didn't know that what he said was just his own speculation and could not be regarded as facts at all.

But he said it with such certainty, naturally to appease people's hearts.

"But the thieves want to build siege equipment with peace of mind, but I can't fulfill their wish!"

Wen Qin said loudly:

"Send the order, I will personally lead the army out of the city to receive the reinforcements coming from Hefei!"

It seems impossible to attack the thief through the south gate.

The thief general leading the army seems to be quite capable, and the camp is fairly neatly arranged.

However, while the thieves are not attacking the city, they can go out from the east, attack the thieves from the front and back, and join the reinforcements as soon as possible.

Hearing the general's words and remembering that the general had defeated the thieves at the east gate, everyone immediately responded.

The east gate of Lu'an City slowly opened again.

Wen Qin led the only elite cavalry in the city and rushed out of the city, shouting loudly like he did earlier:

"You thief, if Wen Zhongruo is here, who dares to fight with me!"

The Wu army at the east gate had been broken through by Wen Qin once. Now when they saw this man leading the army out of the city again, the Wu soldiers who had seen Wen Qin's bravery couldn't help but feel timid.

However, thanks to the lesson learned from the last Dongmen Wu general who was beheaded, this time the Wu army erected a fence early.
