But right now it seems that this is the only choice, the Jiangdong navy was almost collapsed by Jiang Siming's navy.
Only three quarters of the original 2,000 warships remained in less than an hour. At this rate, the Jiangdong warships would be wiped out in less than three hours.
Liu Bei immediately went to Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan and expressed his intention to give up Chibi.
Unexpectedly, the two of them agreed immediately. Instead of sitting here and waiting for Jiang Siming to attack, it would be better to run first as a respect.
The three hit it off and prepared to lead their troops back to the land to defend the city.
Sun Quan saw it anxiously.
"If you abandon me, Soochow at this time, aren't you a perfidious villain?"
Cao Cao is the best at flickering. He came up and pointed to the river, saying: "Sun Zhongmou, look for yourself, your Jiangdong navy is about to perish. If you run with us now, there is still a chance of life. If you wait for the navy to be wiped out , when Jiang Bei comes ashore, you will die without a place to bury him."
Sun Quan was frightened, and indeed saw that his navy was beaten badly.
"But...as the lord of Jiangdong, if I run away, the morale of the army will be in chaos." Sun Quan said hesitantly.
Liu Bei came over and followed Cao Cao's elder brother to fool around: "What's so difficult about this, you can let Zhou Gongjin continue to stick to it. The Chibi strategy was originally his bad idea, and he should bear the consequences."
When Sun Quan heard this, although he was a little bit reluctant to part with Zhou Yu as a general, but at this time, the husband and wife were in trouble, let alone the master and minister.
Zhou Yu was still commanding the battle on the commander-in-chief ship, when he received a report from his subordinates, all the princes of the four routes ran away.
"You bastard! We and the soldiers are still fighting bloody battles, and they ran away first. This is clearly abandoning us!" Zhou Yu was so angry that he scolded his mother.
But at this time, he had no choice but to continue to command the battle and try to fight back.
But Zhou Yu could only watch helplessly as one Jiangdong warship after another was sunk.
On Jiang Siming's side, no more than ten warships have been knocked down so far.
This disparity in strength made Zhou Yu's eyes filled with despair.
Finally, after a full three hours of water battles, only a few dozen of the 2,000 ships in Jiangdong were left with broken limbs and arms, and less than a few dozen ships could barely float on the surface of the river.
And the willpower of the Jiangdong navy has been completely defeated.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to abandon his beloved handsome boat and run back to land, and then fled to the city with less than a hundred remnants of soldiers.
This also indicates that Jiang Siming has successfully won the Jiangdong waters and has become the strongest overlord in China's waters.
Right now, all that remains is to capture the city in Jiangdong.
Seeing that the victory was imminent, Jiang Siming did not rush into the army at will, but temporarily let the soldiers set up camp, and let twenty giant ships bring all the siege equipment over.
Without siege equipment, if the city is forcibly attacked, a large number of soldiers will lose their lives.
This is about to dominate the world, and his subordinates will soon be able to share the fruits of victory with him. Jiang Siming does not want the final battle to cause many subordinates who could have survived to the end to fall.
Although Jiang Siming didn't say it clearly, all the soldiers are not idiots, they can feel the lord's care and care for them.
In the past, when a big victory was imminent, there were actually very few soldiers who were willing to charge, because no one wanted to risk their lives and charge when the victory was about to return.
But Jiang Siming's soldiers were completely different. They spontaneously organized a vanguard team and rushed to sign up.
I am willing to rush to the forefront at any time when the lord calls for war.
Jiang Siming was very relieved when he heard the news. He was not in vain as the master, at least he was qualified.
In the past few days when Jiang Siming's army was still waiting for the siege equipment, all the cities in the entire Jiangdong were already frightened.
The walls, gates and moats of each city were widened and heightened several times, and the four princes divided their troops to guard each city.
The reason why they didn't join forces was because Jiang Siming had too many troops, so he could divide his troops and attack other cities at the same time.
The four princes had no choice but to station their troops in the fortress city to prevent Jiang Siming's sneak attack.
During the few days of waiting, Jiang Siming was not idle, and asked all the scribes in the prefectures and counties under his rule to rush to work overnight to write a royal edict.
Then pack them in bamboo tubes and put them in the Yangtze River Basin, so that they flow to every city for all the people to see.
The general meaning of the Wang Zhao above is:
King Ming's million-strong army has already killed all Jiangdong water troops, and will soon attack all cities. He advises all Jiangdong people and officials, whoever does not resist, Ming Wang will keep you safe, and anyone who participates in the struggle, all Deal with the thieves together.
The implication is eight words: Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!
Such a domineering and uncompromising imperial edict was quickly passed on to every household in Jiangdong.
All the common people were frightened to stay behind closed doors when they saw this royal edict, and they couldn't move in the face of the high-tech conscription of the four princes.
Many Jiangdong officials also began to think of surrendering.
It can be said that Jiang Siming's imperial edict has disintegrated most of Jiangdong's hearts without any effort.
Liu Bei and the others naturally received it, but they had nothing to do. Jiang Siming has such confidence, what can you do with him?
Now the only option is to defend the city to the core, and then forcibly recruit troops to resist Jiang Siming, and then take it slowly.
A few days passed, and the siege equipment was finally transported to Jiangdong.
Jiang Siming walked out of the king's tent, followed by a group of core subordinates.
"You said, how long will it take to clean up Jiangdong?" Jiang Siming suddenly looked at the sky and asked with emotion.
The subordinates behind him gave different answers, some said a few days, some said half a month, and some said several months.
After hearing this, Jiang Siming laughed, and said: "It's a good thing to be so confident, but don't be impetuous and complacent. Often, the closer you are to success, the easier it is to stumble."
"My lord said so."
"Haha, let's go, it's time for us to end this troubled world."
Jiang Siming waved his hand, and the army moved out!
The first goal is to point directly at the nearest important city in Jiangdong, Zigui City!
Zigui was guarded by Gongsun Zan, who was originally handed over to Sun Quan.
But Sun Quan's losses were too heavy, and he was unable to defend this important city at all. In the end, he had to let Gongsun Zan come.
On Zigui city, Gongsun Zan treated him seriously, and personally supervised the battle from the city tower.
Less than half an hour after the scout reported, he saw the tide-like army on the horizon from outside the city gate.
Gongsun Zan couldn't help tightening the sword in his hand, and his heart sank to the bottom.
A million-strong army, is he sure he can stop it with 200,000 troops...
The army came to the city gate, but did not immediately attack the city.
A royal chariot was rolled out from the army, and Jiang Siming sat on it peeling oranges and eating them.
Before the battle, Jiang Siming calmly stood up from the king's chair and spit out a few seeds.
"Brother Bogui, long time no see!"
