For three days in a row, the battle on the city wall of Jiangzhou became more and more fierce, and Zhao Wei's army suffered more and more casualties.

The wells outside the city have grown from two at the beginning to five at each gate!

The archers who stepped forward stood on the well to suppress the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city were miserable!

In three days, more than 2,000 soldiers under Zhao Wei's command suffered casualties, all of which were shot to death by the archers on the well.

Although Liu Zhang's soldiers also suffered casualties, but there are so many soldiers under his command that he can completely ignore these casualties!

But so far none of Liu Zhang's soldiers have crossed the moat, let alone climbed the city wall.

However, according to the development of this trend, it won't be long before the scuffle on the city wall of Jiangzhou will start.

"Hey! How can this be good?"

Zhao Wei sighed the most these days, his face was visibly visibly vicissitudes, and even his head was turning white a lot.

Liu Zhang had no intention of retiring from the army at all, which shattered Zhao Wei's dream, which had a glimmer of fantasy.

If Liu Zhang is really determined not to retreat, then Jiangzhou will be lost!

Once Jiangzhou is lost, Berkshire will no longer have a foothold, and Zhao Wei's family will die immediately without a place to bury them!

"Master Taishou, according to this situation, there will be at least one or two more wells outside the city tomorrow. If there is no countermeasure, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to withstand it..."

The guards under Zhao Wei's command looked extremely ugly. What he was worried about was not that there were too many casualties among the soldiers, but that he would unconsciously become terrified when he saw the well!

If you are timid before the battle, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced! Although it can be held for a while, it is difficult to last long.

Zhao Wei frowned and didn't say anything, he was very clear in his heart.

It's just that Zhao Wei, who was standing aside and watching from a distance, felt fear unconsciously, not to mention the soldiers stationed on the edge of the city wall. "Report!"

There was a quick and urgent shout, and then a soldier ran into the house in a panic.

"what happened again!"

Zhao Wei felt that it was becoming so difficult to breathe, and the word 'report' was about to become the last straw that crushed him!

"I want to report to the prefect that Liu Zhang's army outside the city has gathered all Jing Lan in one place. General Zhao asks the prefect to prepare early!"

"what!"

Zhao Wei let out a cry, and then sat down on the ground decadently.

Gathered in one place, that is twenty wells! Five hundred soldiers per well, that is ten thousand troops standing on it!

If Liu Zhang's army fired all arrows tomorrow, Zhao Wei couldn't imagine how the soldiers defending the city would feel.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Liu Zhang gathered Jinglan, and the defenses of the other three sects dropped sharply, so Zhao Wei could also concentrate his forces.

But so what? The more troops there are, the easier it is to become Liu Zhang's target.

"Generals, what can you do, stop hiding!"

Zhao Wei was very anxious, his eyes swept over the generals in the room, but everyone lowered their heads, as if they were afraid that Zhao Wei would ask him.

However, there was one person in the room who kept holding his head high and his chest held high, it was Gan Ning.

Gan Ning didn't lower his head to dodge, but he didn't meet Zhao Wei's gaze either.

"hiss…"

Zhao Wei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered the suggestion Gan Ning made to him three days ago.

Destroy the well!

Now Liu Zhang has gathered twenty well rails in one place. Isn't this the best solution?

These twenty well rails must have been built by Liu Zhang with a lot of effort. If they are all destroyed, coupled with the problem of insufficient food and grass, Liu Zhang will definitely be able to force Liu Zhang to retreat!

"General Gan!"

Gan Ning turned his head and met Zhao Wei's expectant eyes.

"What are the orders from Prefect Zhao?"

Zhao Wei was so embarrassed that he rejected Gan Ning's proposal without hesitation that day, but he didn't expect to ask him for help today.

Thinking of the safety of the entire Jiangzhou City, Zhao Wei couldn't care less.

"General Gan, that day you told me to go out of the city to destroy the wells of Liu Zhang's army, but my mansion did not agree. Now that Liu Zhang has gathered all the wells together, this is a great opportunity! I wonder if the general can..."

Zhao Wei's meaning was obvious, and all the generals in the room understood his meaning, but everyone unconsciously stayed away from Gan Ning.

The reason is very simple, no one wants to go out to die!

Since Liu Zhang dared to gather the wells in one place, he must have been very well prepared. Going out to destroy the wells would be tantamount to death!

Zhao Wei was well aware of this reason, so he didn't take the initiative to ask Gan Ning, and his tone was full of discussion.

Gan Ning frowned, obviously hesitating.

"Prefect Zhao, I suggested this because Liu Zhang concluded that we dare not go out of the city, so we were negligent. Now that he has lined up the wells, how can he easily succeed?"

"What's more, I have 800 people under my command. Let's not talk about whether I can break through the heaven and earth net set by Liu Zhang. Even if there are 20 wells placed there, is 800 people enough?"

Although none of the generals in the house were willing to venture out of the city, Gan Ning's words still made them agree.

There are no more than fifty people in such a tall well, so it is difficult to destroy it quickly.

"It doesn't matter, the government can assist General Gan's soldiers. I don't know if the general dares to go out of the city to fight?"

Hearing Zhao Wei's words, the generals retreated even more, one was afraid that Zhao Wei would call him, and the other was worried that Gan Ning's head would really get hot, and he was willing to die!

But things often don't go as everyone wants, Gan Ning really nodded and agreed to Zhao Wei's request.

"Gan Ning received Zhao Taishou's great kindness, and there is no way to repay it! Now that Zhao Taishou is begging, why would Gan Ning spare his life?"

"it is good!"

Zhao Wei was very moved. After all, he only gave Gan Ning a small favor, but Gan Ning repaid it with his life!

Then look at the generals in the room who I often regard as my confidantes, all of them are cowering and cowering, without any blood.

"Who dares to follow General Gan out of the city to destroy the well!"

Zhao Wei shouted loudly, hoping to inspire the courage of his generals with his roar.

It didn't work as expected, no one took the initiative to stand up, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look into Zhao Wei's eyes.

"Trash! Trash! This government has raised you for so many years, is this how you repay this government?"

"Don't even think about it. If the well is not destroyed, Jiangzhou will be lost! Once Jiangzhou is lost, everything you have will be wiped out!"

Regardless of Zhao Wei's provocative words or sincere words, no one dared to take the initiative to stand up, which made Zhao Wei feel a great sense of frustration.

It is said that scholars die for their confidants!

But Zhao Wei, as the prefect of Berkshire, didn't even have a single person willing to die for him!

Surrounded by these useless people, how can he be undefeated in the face of Liu Zhang's intensity?

"Hey, if that's the case, what's the point of resisting? The government might as well surrender as soon as possible!"

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Wei said these words, several people really raised their heads, and there was hope in their eyes.

The look in his eyes seemed to agree with the decision to surrender, which made Zhao Wei even more angry.

"This government tells you that you are absolutely determined to surrender! Liu Zhang will definitely not let me go. When the city is destroyed, everything will be destroyed!"

The generals lowered their heads again, but there was a hint of anger in their eyes.

You, Zhao Wei, died as soon as you died, why did you drag us along? It is you who have a grudge against Liu Zhang, and it is not us who have a grudge against Liu Zhang!

It's a pity that Jiangzhou City is now full of Zhao Wei's direct descendants, and the generals dare not speak out, so they can only bury their resentment in their hearts.

"Lord Prefect, the two of us are willing to go with General Gan!"

Just when the atmosphere was extremely frozen, Shen Mi and Lou Fa stood up.
