Chapter 153: Are you going to deal with it personally?
Sha Haoqian was not an ignorant person, so he naturally knew that everything Zhou Cang said was for his own benefit.
He sighed deeply, slapped the letter of surrender on the table, looked up at Zhou Cang and said, "In your opinion, how should we respond?"
Zhou Cang felt relieved, knowing that Sha Haoqian had listened to him, and he immediately told him his plan. Even if they didn't want to fight, they would never accept surrender so easily. Otherwise, how could they face the people of the world if they faced the civilians in the city?
Wouldn't that make them become people who are afraid of death and love life.
So Zhou Cang asked Sha Haoqian to tear up the letter of surrender on the spot, and raised a flag with blood, vowing to defend the country's territory to the death, and planted the flag on the city wall.
Such a fearless act naturally aroused cheers from the whole hall. When the Wu army saw this flag, they knew that Sha Haoqian was unwilling to surrender.
"If a letter of persuasion is enough to make them open the city gates and surrender, then Pu would look down on him." Gongsun Pu was not surprised at all when he heard that Sha Haoqian would not surrender. He just laughed and said, "But the enemy's move to create momentum just proves that their hearts have been shaken."
"General, if our army cannot show overwhelming momentum, the enemy will look down on us."
Zong Yanli understood what was said and immediately ordered the deployment of troops to attack the city!
Now the soldiers in the army had already gathered their strength and made all preparations. When Zong Yanli gave the order to attack the city, the entire army deployed their troops and attacked Luoshang Pass.
Sha Haoqian knew that Zong Yanli would definitely attack the city, but when the day really came and he saw the fierce Wu army rushing towards the city, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
"The Wu army has not used siege vehicles and crossbows." Zhou Cang noticed that there were only some catapults in the Wu army formation. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is still a chance. We just need to hold on."
Sha Haoqian turned around and arranged the rotating spears on the city wall, keeping a close eye on the Wu army that were climbing up the wall, and asked people to bring stones to throw down.
In this first siege, both sides seemed to be consuming supplies without much loss of manpower. Seeing that the army defending Luoshang Pass was well prepared and the supplies were almost used up, it became impossible to attack further, so Zong Yanli ordered a withdrawal.
In the next three days, Zong Yanli launched five assaults of varying sizes and two sieges on the city, but all were blocked by Luo Shangguan.
"I'll challenge you in front of the army tomorrow." The morale of both sides was a little low. After resting for two days, Zong Yanli gathered his troops again.
What Zhou Cang was waiting for was a challenge from the Wu army. If the siege continued for a long time, the losses would be too great for them.
Fighting in front of the battlefield is the best time to make a name for yourself.
After these days of rest, Fu Jia Shi was no longer in good condition. He was eager to step forward and ask for a fight. Zong Yanli readily agreed and sent Fu Jia Shi to challenge him.
The weapon used by Fu Jia Shi was the same sword as Jin Da. Compared with Fu Jia Shi's bandit-like temperament, the long sword in his hand was a bit inconsistent. Everyone thought it was a bit strange until the battle began, when they saw with their own eyes the long sword in Fu Jia Shi's hand being unsheathed.
Chop, swing, turn and chop.
"...Am I dazzled?" Pei Liang was shocked: "How can a sword be used like a battle axe or a broadsword?"
“Hahaha…” Zhan Haoyue couldn’t help but laugh and said, “This General Fu is such a wonderful person!”
"It's true. Look, the enemy general was also caught off guard." Huo Wenqi couldn't help laughing. A normal person could figure out how to deal with a fighting general by looking at his weapons and be on guard.
But the enemy general didn't expect that Fu Jia Shi would come out with a long sword, but none of the moves he used were sword moves!
What a thing!
It would be fine if the moves he used were just fancy ones, but Fu Jia Shi's moves had a lot of meaning, as if he had used them countless times, and his grand and vigorous moves were accompanied by soft sword energy.
The enemy general was beaten back step by step, and finally his weapon was knocked out of his hand and he retreated in disgrace.
Fu Jiashi returned victoriously and bowed to Zong Yanli, saying, "I have accomplished my mission."
"The general is really brave. You can take a rest nearby." Zong Yanli smiled and nodded in approval.
"General Fu, did you create this 'sword move' yourself?" Gongsun Pu was really curious and leaned over to ask.
"Haha! To my shame, I can't learn sword moves." Fu Jia Shi scratched his hair and smiled awkwardly. When he first became Jin Da's apprentice, he learned swordsmanship. Unfortunately, he couldn't use the knife and only loved the sword. In the end, he found another way and inexplicably became like this.
"General Fu must be the number one." Gongsun Pu couldn't help laughing, and felt more and more that Zong Yanli was surrounded by so many talented people.
The man who will fight in the second fight is Yan Yingshan under Long Feiguang's command. After years of fighting everywhere, Yan Yingshan has grown a lot. The weapon he uses is a single-edged battle axe, and he wields it with great power and is extremely fierce.
This fight was more like a visual feast of a power contest. The enemy general was using a heavy sword, and the two men had ordinary moves and competed with strength.
In the end, both sides fought to exhaustion and even after a break, the winner could not be determined.
Although the outcome could not be determined, the enemy general was already a big man in his thirties, while Yan Yingshan was just a young general, so a draw was already a win.
The enemy general also had a solemn look on his face, and silently memorized the name of Yan Yingshan. He knew clearly that perhaps in a few years, or even in less than a few years, within more than half a year or a year, Yan Yingshan would surely win when he faced him again!
In the third fight, Zong Yanli finally saw the man who was fighting, Yang Wei.
"Wenian, you go." Zong Yanli's brows relaxed slightly, and he called out with a side glance.
"Yes." Wen Nian lowered his head and responded.
At that moment, countless eyes fell on Wen Nian.
There are so few generals who can make Wen Nian take to the field that it is even rarer than the Chinese New Year. Gongsun Pu and Pei Liang still have some understanding in their eyes, but Meng Qi, Kuang Xingquan and others are shocked. They look at Wen Nian who walked out of the army formation, and then look at their own generals.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, what did Yang Wei do wrong that required our Brother Nian to personally take care of him?
Wen Nian took up his spear and went into battle, standing opposite Yang Wei. Both of them held spears in their hands. If you look closely, you can vaguely see that the styles of the spears are somewhat similar.
"Who are you? Tell me your name!" Yang Weiduan looked at Wen Nian's face and shouted loudly.
"Wen Nian." His eyes were cold and he just dropped a name before rushing towards Yang Wei.
Yang Wei's eyes were cold and stern. He stepped forward with his gun in hand and the two began to fight.
Monkie and the others were stunned by the identical moves and tactics, and finally they figured it out. The general was not asking Brother Nian to chop off the enemy's heads, but to test him!
