Man Chong

Man Chong served as a strategist during the first defense of Hefei against Sun Quan. He advised the garrison commander to strengthen fortifications and use fire attacks, which helped repel the Wu invasion.

Man Chong participated in the defense of Ruxu against Sun Quan's fleet. He proposed using fire ships to break the Wu naval formation, but the plan was not fully executed. The battle ended in a stalemate.

Man Chong was appointed Governor of Hefei and tasked with fortifying the city against Wu. He oversaw the construction of new walls and defensive structures, making Hefei a formidable stronghold.

Man Chong successfully defended Hefei against a major Wu invasion led by Sun Quan. He used a combination of archery and sorties to inflict heavy casualties, forcing Sun Quan to retreat after a month-long siege.

Man Chong again defended Hefei against Sun Quan's invasion. He repelled multiple assaults and maintained the city's defenses until Wu forces withdrew due to supply shortages and the death of Sun Quan's ally Zhuge Liang.
