In the next few days, the Cao army continued to attack Nanjun, and the offensive not only did not weaken at all, but instead increased day by day. The coalition forces tried their best to pay a huge price to finally resist the fierce attacks of Cao army. After six consecutive days, the originally beautiful Nanjun had become a hell stained with blood.

Another day of fierce war ended. Ailang didn't have time to rest, and he would help his subordinates repair a collapsed city wall with bricks, stones and wood removed from nearby houses. In today's fierce battle, Cao's army concentrated on casting carts to open several city walls, and the city almost lost. In the end, although the coalition forces successfully blocked the Cao army's fierce attack, the coalition forces paid an extremely heavy price. To this end, whether it was Ailang Sun Jian or ordinary officers and soldiers, they had no hope of defending Nanjun.

The people in Nanjun city were hiding at home, and there was almost no ordinary person on the street. The people looked at Lu Bujun and Sun Jianjun in the city through the cracks of the door and windows, with a cold expression. They just hoped that they would escape from Nanjun soon so that they could restore their ordinary and peaceful life.

Ailang only knew that his subordinates could not repair the city wall. At this time, the sky was already dark. Ailang asked Zhao Yun to take a group of troops to guard him, and he himself took Dian Wei and Jia Xu with his tired body to go back to his residence to rest. However, before the others had returned to the residence, Sun Jian's envoy blocked Ailang face to face and said, "General, my lord has invited you! I have something to discuss!" Ailang cursed in his heart, and immediately changed direction and rushed to the prefect's mansion.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son greeting him with smiles on their faces. Ailang cheered up and asked with his fists: "Brother Wentai summoned me, is there something urgent?"

Sun Jian clasped his fists with joy and said, "I just received the news that Gongjin led 50,000 naval troops to defeat Cai Mao in Sanjiangkou. Now they have forced them into a bay and are stepping up their siege! I believe that it won't be long before Gongjin can annihilate Cai Mao's naval troops!"

Upon hearing this, Ai Lang couldn't help but feel shocked and couldn't help but say happily: "This is really great! If Zhou Yu doesn't make any progress, we can't resist it!"

Sun Jian said: "Now is the critical time! Please be sure to unite with me to defend Nanjun!" Ailang smiled bitterly and said: "We are on the same boat now! I will naturally do my best! Don't worry!"

Sun Jian smiled slightly, then said blamingly: "I'm so rude! I'm just standing and talking to Brother Fengxian! Come on! Brother Fengxian, let's sit down and talk!" Then he led Ailang and Jia Xudianwei into the hall. The two sides sat down. Sun Jian clasped his fists at Ailang with gratitude and said: "The situation today is critical. If Brother Fengxian had not led the elite troops to expel the elite troops of Cao's army, I'm afraid that Nanjun will be in danger today! Thank you brother Fengxian!" Ailang cursed in his stomach: If it weren't for myself, a fool would have worked so hard!

Although he thought so, he smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wentai, don't be polite! You and I are in the same boat now, so I will naturally help you with all my strength!" Sun Jian smiled and said, "With Brother Fengxian's help, you can win this battle!" Ailang couldn't help but curse in his stomach: 'Damn it! You saw that victory was in sight, so you praised me with good words! Are you still afraid that I will suddenly give up! You really underestimate me!'

Sun Jian said: "Gongjin's victory is in sight. As long as Gongjin eliminates Cai Mao's naval army, he can immediately go up the Shuojiang River to raid Xiangyang! If this battle is successful, the entire occupation will immediately reverse! I think we are going to prepare for the arrival of this moment!"

Ailang said: "What are you going to prepare for this? Even if Xiangyang is lost, the Cao army will not become slaughtered at once! Let's defend Nanjun first. If you can't defend Nanjun, even if Zhou Yu occupied Xiangyang, it would be useless!" Sun Jian said: "I mean, once Gongjin captured Xiangyang, the Cao army would retreat immediately. You and I should prepare a new force to wait until then. Once Cao's army retreats, its food and supplies will be at the end. You and I will lead the new force to take the initiative to attack and destroy his food and supplies. In this way, the 800,000 Cao army will be wiped out. I have prepared 5,000 cavalry and will not throw them into the battle to defend the city, but will only wait for Cao's army to retreat to pursue the enemy."

Ailang thought for a while and nodded, "Okay. Then I'll prepare 5,000 cavalry." Then he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm afraid that Cao's army will work hard, even if we invest all our troops, it will be difficult to resist!" Sun Jian said with confidence: "It's not like this within two or three days. And within these two or three days, the victory or defeat will be divided!" Ailang looked at Sun Jian, and felt confused in his heart. He didn't understand why Sun Jian suddenly became so confident!?

The two discussed the details of defending the city and fighting back later, and Ailang said goodbye and left.

Ailang and his group walked on the street back to their residence. At this time, the night was already deep, but teams of patrol soldiers were flowing continuously on the street, and the tense atmosphere was no less weak than during the daytime battle.

"Old Jia, why did Sun Jian suddenly become more confident?" Ai Lang asked involuntarily.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "He probably can't say he has a hundred times confidence, but he should say that he hopes that the situation of the war will develop as he wishes! Once a person's hope is too strong, it often makes him feel an illusion that his hope will become a reality!"

Ai Lang smiled and joked, "Old Jia, what you said is really mysterious!" Then he thought, "There should be no suspense in the war between Zhou Yu and Cai Mao. The question now is, can Zhou Yu seize Xiangyang in one fell swoop? If he succeeds, how will my father-in-law react? Will he really retreat immediately as Sun Jian hopes?" He couldn't help but frown, "If it were me, I suddenly fell into such a huge crisis, so I'll just fight to the death! Take Nanjun first! As long as I take Nanjun, maybe I can turn defeat into victory!" Jia Xu nodded and thought, "What the lord said is very true! With Cao Cao's heart and current battle situation, the lord's prediction may come true!"

Ailang couldn't help frowning, "If Cao's army works hard, I think Nanjun will be lost in a few days!" After a pause, "We can't stay here and be buried with us! We have to prepare a way out!" Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "My wise! Why not immediately send someone to the Lulin Mountain Camp to inform Xu Shu and the others, and ask them to immediately build a large number of bamboo rafts hidden in the east bank. If the battle situation really develops to the worst situation, we will immediately break through the siege and retreat to the east bank of the Han River and make plans." Ailang nodded, "That's it."

When Ailang returned to her residence, she fell on the bed without even washing her face and fell asleep. In her dream, Ailang returned to her home in Xuzhou and did the happiest thing with her wives on an amazingly large bed.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong! A sudden loud noise suddenly sounded, and the wonderful scene disappeared without a trace. Ailang opened his eyes and found that he was still staying in the silly bedroom of Nanjun. At this moment, the loud noise came again. Ailang only realized that the rapid loud noise was the sound of knocking on the door. Ailang cursed and quickly got off the bed and ran to the door, opening the door. Dian Wei was standing at the door and couldn't help but say angrily: "I said Lao Dian, what are you doing? Don't tell me, my bastard father-in-law came to attack the city again without sleeping in the middle of the night!"

Dian Wei clasped his fists and said, "It was Sun Jian who sent someone to invite the lord to the prefect's office to discuss matters, saying that something urgent happened!"

Ailang cursed: "Is it possible that someone has dug his family's ancestral grave?" Although he cursed like this, he still quickly walked out. Suddenly he found that Jia Xu was not by his side, so he immediately said to Dian Wei. "Send someone to call Lao Jia for me." Dian Wei clasped his fists and immediately sent a personal soldier to call Jia Xu.

Ailang and his group came to the door and stepped on their mounts. After Jia Xu arrived, they rushed to the prefect's mansion.

When he arrived at the prefect's mansion, he saw the hall lights were brightly lit, and Sun Jian paced back and forth with an anxious look on his face.

Ailang walked forward, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wentai..."

Seeing Ai Lang coming, Sun Jian immediately stopped and said with his fists: "Brother Fengxian, something urgent happened! I just received an urgent report that the navy army led by Gongjin was defeated at Sanjiangkou, and the losses were heavy, and it had retreated to the Chibi Water Village!"

Ailang suddenly heard the news and couldn't help but feel surprised and couldn't help but shout, "Is this impossible? How could Cai Mao be Zhou Yu's opponent? Hasn't he been suppressed for safety?"

Sun Jian frowned and shook his head, "This is probably not Cai Mao's plan. It turns out that we were deceived by Cao's army from the beginning. We thought that their naval army was about 50,000 troops, and the fact was not like this at all. The scale of the naval army exceeded 100,000, and the number of large warships was several times that of our army! Cai Mao was suppressed by Gongjin at Sanjiangkou. Now it seems that it is the time for Cao's army to lure the enemy! Just when Gongjin concentrated his energy to attack Cai Mao, he was not careful that the main force of Cao's naval army came to kill at this time! They broke into our army's ship formation from behind. Under such circumstances, Gongjin could not turn the tide even if Sun Wu was reborn, and finally retreated!..."

Ailang opened his eyes wide, looking unbelievable, and said, "How could this happen? It's fine. But even if the boatman on Cao Cao doesn't sleep at night, he will definitely not be able to build so many warships! It's already amazing to be able to build a warship of 50,000 naval troops!" Sun Jian frowned and said, "I can't understand this! Could this Cao thief have magic? Or is there ghosts and gods in heaven and earth helping him?"
