Chapter 938 I saw hope at the juncture of life and death

Tongyang is a small town.

The city is low, and the number of defenders in the city is far inferior to that of the Jiangdong Army who came to attack.

The one who led the Jiangdong Army to Tongyang was Zhou Tai and Taishi Ci under Sun Ce's command.

Since they arrived in Tongyang, Zhou Tai and Taishici have rotated their troops to attack the city almost every day.

Although Li Shu's soldiers fought hard, Jiangdong troops would often climb to the top of the city.

It repelled the attack of the Jiangdong Army again.

Li Shu stood on the top of the city and looked at the Jiangdong Army camp.

He was subjected to continuous siege and the city walls were covered in blood.

I was feeling bored, and a captain ran up and lowered his voice and said to Li Shu, "General is not good."

"What?" Li Shu frowned and asked the captain.

"There is no food in the city." The captain said: "The grain stored is only enough for the army to eat for half a month at most, but it is still not given food to the people at all."

The Jiangdong Army's siege was very rapid, and Li Shu felt unbearable.

Now that there is no food in the city, he slowly closed his eyes and sighed in despair.

"If you pass the order, all the rations will be left to the soldiers." Li Shu said: "The people in the city will let them find a way."

"But in this way, the people may be in chaos." The captain reminded.

"Who dares to be rebellious? Kill!" Li Shu said: "If there is really no food, let the people get some bark and fill their stomachs with grass roots. It is better than starving to death."

"In fact, there have been people eating the bark and grass roots for a long time." The captain said: "The trees in the city are almost stripped of their skin, and there is no grass on the ground."

Li Shu was upset by the words and glared at the captain fiercely: "Go and pass the order."

It was useless to say too much. Without food in the city, Li Shu could not change anything, so the captain had to retreat.

Looking out of the city again, Li Shu's face looked even more ugly.

He regretted betraying Sun Quan a little.

Therefore, he rebelled because he believed that Sun Quan's inheritance of Sun Ce's status was unexplainable.

It’s not that Sun Ce has no children.

Although he was dead, the one who inherited Jiangdong should be Sun Ce's son, but the one who was fond of Jiangdong was Sun Quan.

I want to get the answer from the Sun family, but how could the Sun family take him as a small general?

With a long sigh, Li Shu shouted to the soldiers on the top of the city: "Soldiers, reinforcements are coming soon. Keep the city for me. When the Jiangdong Army withdraws, I will celebrate the merits with the soldiers."

No one responded.

Li Shu has said the same thing twice or three times.

When we talked about it for the first time, the soldiers were still excited for a long time.

But they waited left and right, repelled the Jiangdong Army and attacked countless times, but there were still no trace of reinforcements.

My heart is cold and my mind is disheartened. Many people are willing to defend themselves, but they just understand that once the city is broken, they will be cut off by the Jiangdong Army.

In order to survive, even if they know that Li Shu is lying, they can only think that reinforcements will come as if they are really coming.

There is no food in Tongyang City.

When Li Shu was discouraged, Pang Tong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Ju Yi led 10,000 soldiers to Lujiang.

Ju Yi led the way to the camp, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou were with Pang Tong.

"Li Shu is really the case. He can't ask for help as soon as possible. He has to wait until the city is broken before he asks the young master for help." Yan Liang said as he walked: "When we feel Lujiang, we don't know what Tongyang has become."

"He sent someone to ask for help from Cao Gong first, but only after he was rejected, he thought of the young master." Pang Tong said: "It will take at least one month for the people who reported the news. According to Huo Wu's return, the commanders of the Jiangdong Army were Zhou Tai and Taishi Ci. Both of them were world-class generals. It is not easy for Li Shu to stay for so long."

"Fortunately, the young master values ​​friendship." Wen Chou said: "If the young master doesn't care about him, I'm afraid that Li Shu will definitely die this time."

"How could the young master ignore him?" Pang Tong said: "If Tongyang is north of the Yangtze River, if it falls into the hands of the Jiangdong people, it will cause a lot of trouble for the young master in the future."

"It seems that Li Shu still got a big advantage." Yan Liang asked: "General Ju led the camp to go first. There were only 800 people. Will it look too thin when they arrived outside Tongyang City?"

"I have agreed with General Ju that when he arrives outside Tongyang City, he will not attack the enemy." Pang Tong said: "The most important thing for General Ju to go there is to let Li Shu know that the young master has sent someone to rush to help. In addition, I also asked the Captain Chen Wu from Huowu Camp to sneak into Tongyang and inform Li Shu that our army is heading towards Lujiang, so he must guard it!"

"The Jiangdong Army besieged Tongyang. Captain Chen Wu has such great ability to sneak into the city without being discovered by the enemy?" Wen Chou shook his head and said, "Why don't I believe it very much?"

"Chen Wu and Liu Shuang were the first people to follow the young master." Pang Tong said: "They don't know their abilities yet. Not to mention Xiao Xiao Tongyang, even if it is Chang'an and Luoyang are besieged by the army, as long as they want to go in, isn't it like entering their own courtyard wall?"

He also had some days working with Pang Tong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou until he didn't like to exaggerate his words.

The two of them looked at each other in shock, and Yan Liang said, "No wonder they say that Huo Wu is so good. With such a skill, it is difficult to think about it."

General Pang led a large army to Tongyang, and Ju Yi led Xiandengying all the way south.

Li Shu, who was already desperate, didn't know this yet.

Since the Jiangdong Army attacked the city, he has never been down the city wall and is extremely nervous every day.

After enduring for many days, Li Shu finally couldn't hold on.

He fell asleep against the battlements.

The food and grass in the city were gone, and the soldiers were all in despair. In order to avoid someone taking advantage of his sleep and leaving him to the Jiangdong Army, when Li Shu was asleep, several soldiers he could trust were guarding the side with full arms.

In the shadow, a figure jumped up to the battlements and jumped onto the top of the city.

"Who?" A soldier guarding Li Shu shouted quickly, and all the soldiers picked up their weapons.

The soldiers on the city wall opened their eyes one by one, stood up one by one, and looked ready to fight.

"I am Chen Wu, the captain of Huowu under the command of the eldest son of the Cao family." The black shadow said: "I came to see General Li at night and told the general that the prince had sent a large army to rush to help, please be sure to guard for a few more days."

The noise had already awakened Li Shu.

Hearing that Cao Shu had sent someone, he quickly stood up and shouted ecstaticly: "Please show up to meet Mr. Zirong!"

Chen Wu walked out of the shadow, clasped his fists to Li Shu and said, "Captain Huowu Chen Wu, have seen General Li!"

"Prince Chen!" It was already a critical moment of life and death. Li Shu didn't care about distinguishing between real and falsehood. He stepped forward and held Chen Wu's hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "I finally hope for you!"

"I hope I'm useless. The army will arrive in two days." Chen Wu said: "General Ju Yi led the camp and was almost out of the city. Tomorrow morning, General Li should be able to see our army's battle flag."
