    "General, do you need to send more people to protect the well?" some subordinates reminded.

    Although there are now a large number of soldiers protecting Jinglan, Xia Houyuan's men lost confidence after seeing how brave Sun Ce was. They all felt that the number of soldiers was not enough and they needed to send more people.

    "Need not."

    Everyone thought that more manpower should be sent, but Xia Houyuan had a different opinion. He shook his head and said: "Withdraw some of the manpower."

    "What?" The general was shocked.

    "General, think twice."

    "General, you absolutely must not do this."

    After hearing this, all the generals under his command spoke out to dissuade him.

    "If we withdraw our troops, the well will not be protected. What if the enemy comes out again and destroys the well?"

    "Yes, without the well gate, the soldiers cannot climb up the city wall by relying on the ladder alone."

    "Without the well gate, the soldiers can't even climb the city wall."

    "Shut up, everyone."

    Xia Houyuan shouted loudly. He didn't explain too much to his men. He just ordered his men to do it with a strong attitude.

    Xia Houyuan's generals were dissatisfied, but after Xia Houyuan shouted like this, no one dared to speak out, so they had to go to fight and withdrew most of the soldiers protecting the well.

    Although there are still soldiers protecting the well, the number is much smaller and can be clearly seen on the city wall.

    "General, there are fewer soldiers in Jinglan." Zhang Fang told Sun Ce about the situation.

    "oh?"

    Sun Ce is resting now. Although there was no danger in going out just now, it still consumes physical strength. After hearing Zhang Fang's report, he was surprised at first, but soon his brows relaxed.

    "Ignore it for now." Sun Ce said.

    "Does the general know anything?" Zhang Fang couldn't help but ask, and he saw Sun Ce's brows widening.

    "If my guess is correct, Xia Houyuan wants me to go out again." Sun Ce said.

    "Is this a trap?" Zhang Fang was surprised when he heard this.

    "That's right."

    Sun Ce nodded and said: "Xia Houyuan thinks that I will go out to destroy the well again, and he will ambush me outside."

    "Too cunning." Zhang Fang couldn't help but sigh.

    Then he said to Sun Ce with admiration: "The general is still wise."

    Sun Ce shook his head. If he were in the past, he would never have thought of this, and he would definitely lead people to kill him.

    But after experiencing so many things and staying in Youzhou for a few years, Sun Ce has become much calmer and more mature. He considers things more comprehensively and will no longer act rashly.

    Now that Xia Houyuan is doing this, it is clear that he wants to lure him out. He knows it is a trap, and only a fool jumps into it.

    After experiencing so many things, Sun Ce has learned to treat things calmly and no longer blindly force things.

    What Sun Ce doesn¡¯t know is that he is the strongest now, even stronger than when he was in Jiangdong Zongheng.

    "Let the soldiers work harder, the next battle will be more intense." Sun Ce said to Zhang Fang.

    It is conceivable that Xiahou Yuan will definitely let the archers on the Jinglan increase their attack intensity and put pressure on Yanjin City, hoping to intimidate Sun Ce to lead people to kill the Jinglan.

    Next, as Sun Ce said, Cao Jun's offensive became more fierce. The arrows fired by the archers on the well fell like a heavy rain, suppressing Liu Zhejun's soldiers until they could not lift their heads.

    While other Cao Jun soldiers continued to climb the ladders to attack, Liu Zhe Jun soldiers had to intercept and had to expose their bodies. Many people were shot and fell down, causing heavy losses.

    If Sun Ce hadn¡¯t said it, Zhang Fang would have suggested that Sun Ce go out and destroy the well.

    Since he knew that this was Xia Houyuan's trick, Zhang Fang could only grit his teeth and let the soldiers persist.

    "hold onto"

    Zhang Fang could only shout to the soldiers like this. At this time, he could only use his life to fill the gap.

    Outside the city, Xia Houyuan had changed into an ordinary uniform and was mixed in with the ordinary soldiers, waiting for Sun Ce to come out.

    "The general is wise!"

    The general following Xia Houyuan already knew Xia Houyuan's plan, and was now flattering Xia Houyuan.

    "To be able to think of such a method, the enemy must not have thought that the general would be ambushing here."

    "If I were an enemy, I would definitely be fooled."

      "We will definitely be able to trap that rat this time."

    Hearing the flattery of his general, Xia Houyuan also had a look on his face. After all, he was able to think of this strategy in a short time, which was quite impressive.

    "Don't say much, just wait for the enemy to come out now." Xia Houyuan pretended to be relaxed.

    However, after waiting like this for a day, from noon to evening, it was time to withdraw the troops, but Sun Ce still did not show up.

    Xia Houyuan's face was ashen, while the generals and commanders around him all lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.

    Today they are flattering Xia Houyuan, saying that Xia Houyuan is wise, and that the enemy will definitely be fooled.

    Now, the words they said today are like slaps, hitting their faces one after another, making their faces swollen.

    "Go back to camp!"

    Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth, squeezed these two people out from between his teeth, and followed the soldiers back to the camp with a group of men who dared not show off.

    The cheers from Yanjin City behind them were like another slap, slapping them in the face.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
