A fierce battle broke out between Cao and Wu on the river bank outside Ruxu and Wu, but both sides suffered heavy losses.

Both armies also fell silent.

After resting for a few days, while sitting in Juchao, Xiahou Dun, the governor of the 26th Army, sent several reinforcements one after another. Only then did Cao Cao, who had personally conquered Ruxu, give the order to attack again.

As soon as the order came out.

It was as if a trumpet had been blown.

Cao Jun's camp.

Soldiers from all departments lined up slowly along the formation, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons.

There are also siege equipment such as rams, ladder trucks, and manholes on display in the formation.

On the high platform.

Cao Cao was wearing a flaming red war robe, holding the Heavenly Sword in his hand and giving orders awe-inspiringly.

The surrounding generals stood erect and tightly in groups.

Each order was issued, and the command flags floated in the air one after another.

The generals received their orders one after another and rushed to Ruxuwu with their troops.

All of a sudden.

There was a great noise all around the Ruxu line, and the flags blocked out the sun. Cao's soldiers lined up in a neat military formation, marching over with endless power!

Faced with such movements, the Wu troops stationed in Wubao had already detected it.

Due to the new arrival of Sun Quan this time, and the defense of Ruxu Wu was basically supervised by Lü Meng, the prefect of Lujiang.

Even though he was in Wu Bao now, he did not rashly seize command at this moment.

Lü Meng was still ordered to give orders and ordered the various ministries to deploy defenses in an orderly manner.

I heard that Cao Jun was planning to attack the city on a large scale.

Lu Meng also showed the slightest hint of panic.

Slowly waving his hands, he signaled the sergeants from all departments to the designated city defense positions to show precautions.

He had already stationed more than ten thousand strong bows and crossbows in Wu.

It had long been expected that when the Cao family went south, the important ferry Ruxuwu on the north bank of the Yangtze River would inevitably be the key to the competition between the two sides.

Then a war will inevitably break out.

Therefore, he also made sufficient preparations.

After all the defensive arrangements were made, according to reports, Cao Jun's troops had arrived at Wuxia. After hearing this, Lu Meng immediately rushed to the side of Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, and exhorted:

"My lord, we are about to face a fierce battle with Cao's army here."

"According to the last general's guess, I fear that the battle will be extremely tragic. For the sake of my lord's safety, I suggest that you retreat to the water stronghold to avoid the danger."

After saying that, Lu Meng's complexion also changed instantly, revealing a look of determination.

Seemingly sensing his decision, Sun Quan's expression moved slightly, and he understood his character quite well, and then responded:

"Okay! Since Ziming is confident, Nagu will retreat to the water village and join forces with Gong Yi to wait for your victory."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to ponder for a moment, and then said with a concerned tone: "However, the combat power of Cao's army in infantry combat is extraordinary, and now they are attacking in a large scale."

"If Ziming feels that he really cannot hold on to Ruxu Wu and something goes wrong, he can slowly retreat the army, otherwise we will not be able to fight."

After saying that, he patted his body solemnly.

It shows how much he respects Lu Meng.

In fact, this is also common sense.

Once upon a time, Lu Meng was just a warrior.

Without his encouragement, how could he have grown into the independent general he is today?

As a close and beloved general, Sun Quan naturally did not want to sacrifice a large general just for the sake of Ferry, an important town in the north of the Yangtze River.

"Thanks to the generosity of my lord, I will save you!"

"This time we will wait and see what happens."

Lu Meng also had a serious look on his face and responded with a clank.

After explaining everything, Sun Quan led his guards, disembarked from the carriages, and paddled the boat to the water stronghold.

And left Zhou Tai to help guard Wu.

Wu Bao was fully prepared for defense.

At this moment, Cao's army has also advanced to the base of Wubao and is waiting for them.

Looking down, I saw nothing but darkness in the distance and a solemn military formation.

The air around him seemed to be exuding endless momentum.

Even if it was Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and other veteran generals in the army, their faces could not help but show waves of solemnity.

A thought occurred unconsciously in the bottom of my heart, "This will definitely be a hard battle!"

However, no matter how difficult it is, the generals will not shrink from the battle.

The various units of the Wu army also had energetic faces, staring at the enemy formations below, quietly waiting for the moment when the battle came.

"Send the order, and the tribes are preparing to attack."

As the troops slowly formed in Wubao, they took up their positions.

At this moment, Prime Minister Cao Cao was surrounded by people on a high slope, overlooking the overall situation, and issued the order to attack with his sword.

As soon as the order came out.

In the solemn military formation, the flags were waving, and the sound gradually became louder.

The sword and shield bearers were in the front to clear the way, protecting the crossbowmen, rushing towards the convoy, the well railing, and the ladder truck later pressed in.

Standing above Wu Bao, looking down at all this quietly, Lu Meng watched the black formation advancing forward, like a ferocious wolf attacking in front of him.

He took a slow, deep breath, waved his hand and solemnly ordered:

"Crossbowmen, prepare."

As soon as this order was issued, the Wu archers hidden among the holes in the wall dug above the fortress bent their bows and set arrows, aiming downwards, waiting for the good news.

Then, time passed by minute by minute.

Weiwei estimates that the enemies have stepped into our own range one after another.

Lu Meng suddenly shouted loudly, "Let go!"

The shouting didn't stop, but bursts of "shoo, swish, swish" sound of arrows followed one after another.

Arrows fell like raindrops flying all over the sky.

"ah……"

"Ding ding ding..."

Within a short time, there was a wailing sound and the sound of arrows hitting the shield hand's round shield.

This caused a commotion among the troops.

And the rain of arrows continued to strike.

Lü Meng had already made full preparations for this defense and set up more than ten thousand strong crossbows.

It can be said to have sufficient firepower.

Seeing the soldiers marching in formation under Wu Fort, they were all pushing forward bravely under the rain of arrows.

And each distance is a few minutes closer to Uburg.

The casualties incurred also doubled.

The closer we got to the fort, the slower the advance slowed down.

Simply.

After suffering a lot of casualties, they finally escorted the ladder truck and rushed the truck to the city gate first.

The sergeant hidden in the ramming car and the shield soldiers following on both sides immediately began to get busy, controlling the ramming car to collide with the gate.

A ladder truck on the other side was also slowly set up on the Uburg city wall, and the hook at the top of the ladder was used to clamp the wall tightly.

Immediately afterwards, a steady stream of soldiers from Cao's army began to rush up while holding knives and climbing ladders.

Attack from both sides.

The city gates and walls were under heavy attack.

Wu Jun's defensive pressure was also extremely high for a while.

Seeing this situation, Lu Meng's face tightened and he patrolled behind the soldiers.
