A day passed by quickly.
Bai Feng had finally waited for the moment to attack the city.
Early this morning, he had ordered his soldiers to surround the entire city and not let go of any escape route.
Once the battle began, Bai Feng would not stop attacking until it was over.
After all, his time was more precious now.
On the other hand, Dong Yue Wu might not be Bai Feng's match now, but they had the advantage of having a lot of provisions.
If it was purely a competition of endurance, then Bai Feng was undoubtedly no match for them.
Therefore, Zhang Zhao's choice was correct.
When faced with such an opponent, since they could not defeat them, they would exhaust them to death.
As long as they exhausted all of Bai Feng's provisions, no matter how strong Bai Feng's army was, they would have no choice but to retreat.
Unless this group of people was not afraid of death and chose to be killed by them.
However, with Bai Feng's personality, he would not do such a thing.
Therefore, if Bai Feng wanted to win this battle, he had to force this group of people out of the city.
Otherwise, he would not have enough troops and provisions to fight a protracted battle.
The moment his provisions were exhausted, he would have to choose to retreat.
Not only that, but Zhang Zhao and those old fellows would also choose to open the city gates and pursue.
If that really happened, Bai Feng would be in a very bad situation.
One had to know that this was not just the consequence of losing the battle.
Even if they won this battle, Bai Feng's army would undoubtedly lose a lot of troops.
After all, there was almost no one in history who could truly occupy a city without expending a single soldier.
Because of that, Bai Feng's current situation was actually not very good.
Of course, even so, he would not give up because of this. One had to know that he did not have many paths of retreat.
If they lost this battle, Bai Feng would lose a lot of things.
First of all, there was no need to think about it. If they lost the battle, they could only choose to retreat.
Moreover, since this battle was a failure, it meant that Bai Feng had lost a lot of troops.
One had to know that this was a military force that he had painstakingly gathered. In the end, it was still very precious.
Although they were only made up of commoners, and they were also a group of new recruits who had just been trained for a long time.
However, it was a pity that most of Bai Feng's forces were currently fighting against Sun Quan in Yuzhang. There were only a few of them left.
Of course, he understood this point. That was why he kept guessing the thoughts of the Dong Yue Wu officials.
Although he didn't get any results in the end, it was better than sitting there at a loss.
However, if they failed this time, Bai Feng would lose the opportunity to occupy Jiangdong in one fell swoop.
After all, all of Jiangdong's main forces were under the command of Sun Quan to attack Yuzhang.
Although Yu Zhang was guarded by several generals, it would not be lost so easily.
This was also one of the reasons why Bai Feng dared to attack without worry.
It was also because of this that he defeated the two generals, Han Dang and Cheng Pu, and took over Dan Yang.
However, there weren't many Jiangdong soldiers in Danyang.
Moreover, most of them were killed by Bai Feng in the process of advancing, which greatly reduced the number of soldiers he could maintain.
That was why Bai Feng chose to let the commoners directly into his home.
He even killed all of those so-called descendants of aristocratic families because of this.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to keep them as new soldiers? Moreover, it would be better to have more of them.
However, Bai Feng was a cautious person. He obviously wouldn't trust these descendants of aristocratic families so easily.
After all, since these people called themselves descendants of aristocratic families, it was natural that they had close contact with Sun Quan when they were alive.
As for Sun Quan, he was the only lord in their hearts.
If he hadn't forced these people to surrender, he believed that they wouldn't have surrendered so easily.
If these people were given the ability to fight, even if they were personally taught by Bai Feng, it would be difficult for them to rebel in the end.
After all, they were currently attacking Kuaiji.
Huiji was currently Sun Quan's only trusted aide, and also his only base of operations.
If Kuaiji was lost, Sun Quan would really be homeless.
According to Liu Bei's character, he would be kind enough to take him in.
However, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation for Sun Quan.
After all, this was the country that Jiangdong had fought for for several generations. Now that it was gone, no one would be willing to accept it.
As an old hero who had assisted Jiangdong for three generations, Zhang Zhao naturally knew this.
Moreover, he also knew that if Kuaiji was really lost, they would also be homeless.
After all, Kuaiji was really too important now. It was the heart of Jiangdong.
If it was really lost, he believed that even if it was him, Sun Quan wouldn't easily forgive it.
As for those so-called ministers and generals, they would all be killed by the furious Sun Quan in a fit of anger.
This was completely possible. After all, this was something that happened frequently in history.
Of course, these rulers had to do this.
If they weren't forced, these so-called ministers and generals wouldn't care about this.
After all, there were very few ministers like Zhang Zhao and Lu Su who truly cared about Jiangdong.
Therefore, at this time, it was naturally very important to take back Kuaiji.
For these Dong Yue Wu ministers, as long as they took back Kuaiji, it would mean victory for them.
Even if they couldn't kill Bai Feng in the end, as long as they could defeat him, that was their goal.
If Bai Feng was really defeated, it would take a long time for him to recover his troops.
As for other things, even if they weren't troublesome for Bai Feng, they would still take up a lot of his time.
After all, Yu Zhang was still under attack by Sun Quan.
In addition, Liu Bei was secretly supporting Sun Quan from behind. This undoubtedly made Yu Zhang's situation even more tense.
In this way, even if Yu Zhang had extremely powerful generals guarding it, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
After all, even if Sun Quan couldn't win in a direct confrontation, they could still wear him down by taking turns.
This was undoubtedly the best choice for them now. Moreover, Sun Quan had Lu Su by his side, which greatly increased their strength.
However, it was precisely because of this that if they lost this war, Bai Feng could only withdraw from Kuaiji and leave Dan Yang.
In the end, he would return to his headquarters.
However, it was important to note that even if Dong Yue Wu won this war, they probably wouldn't dare to take back Dan Yang.
After all, they didn't have enough troops now.
It was already good enough that they could defend Kuaiji. If they took the initiative to attack when they were about to die, they would undoubtedly be courting death.
If they were attacked by the enemy at this time, Dong Yue Wu would lose more than they gained.
Of course, this was all nonsense now.
