The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

After Yuan Shao and others saw Zhou Cheng's craziness in using troops, they urgently summoned counselors to discuss how to defend the city.

Although Yuan Shao has sent a message to all the states and counties, even if someone is willing to come to help, the fire far away cannot save the fire nearby.

Guo Tu said:"My lord, you can send people to inform the people in the city that after Zhou Cheng breaks the city, he will forcibly move the people of Ye City to the outside of the fortress. The people of Ye City are afraid of this and will defend Ye City to the death.

" The key to defending the city.

Although Zhou Cheng was brave, most civilians in the world, except those who had rebelled, were still afraid of Zhou Cheng.

After all, Zhou Cheng was a moth thief, and it was normal to coerce people.

There is also a precedent of coercing the people of Jizhou and forcing civilians to serve as cannon fodder.

Coupled with the propaganda of aristocratic families, wealthy families, and the imperial court, the moth thief has been demonized.

Therefore, the people of Jizhou were all afraid of Zhou Cheng, and they were even less willing to be coerced outside the Great Wall.

Yuan Shao thought about it for a while and said:"I will follow what the public rules say."

Soon, the wealthy families and common people in Ye City were afraid that Ye City would be breached and that their families would be taken outside the fortress. Therefore, they all voluntarily participated in the defense. in the city

…… the next day.

Zhou Cheng continued to launch siege warfare.

The city of Yecheng is high and deep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Zhou Cheng knew that Ye City was difficult to attack, but there were countless famous cities and passes in the world that could be attacked more than Ye City.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng will not be timid.

Woo - as the horn blows

"Kill!"

"kill!"

With the cry of killing, the prisoners of the Yuan army in the death-fighting camp bravely pushed the well railings and Linchong, and attacked towards the city head.

Bang! Bang!

The stone bullets thrown from the city tower hit the well railings one after another..

The soldiers on the well railing screamed and fell down.

The kerosene tank exploded on Linchong, the kerosene splashed on the body, and the fire spread.

Outside Yecheng, inside and outside Yecheng, black smoke billowed.

On the ladder, The soldiers who were climbing were hit by wooden logs and rolling stones on the tower, and fell to the ground. Their brains burst out, which was too horrible to watch. The sharp whistle produced when the arrows broke through the air ruthlessly took away their lives.

It was not easy to climb the tower. The soldiers were stabbed through their bodies with spears by the defenders who were several times their size, and some were even worse, chopped into pieces of flesh with random knives. There was blood on the top of the city, it was too horrible to see!

The prisoners of the Yuan army in the death battle camp had already been beaten. Thousands of people.

It had only been two days of attacking the city, but so many troops and horses had been lost.

If the attack continued for a month, how many people would die?

However, Zhou Cheng still did not stop attacking.

Although he made great efforts, he failed again and again, and finally exhausted. But Zhou Cheng understood that when it comes to attacking a city, the only thing that matters is who is more tenacious. Zhou Cheng sent troops and horses to storm Ye City. For six consecutive days, soldiers climbed to the top of Ye City every day, but in the end they were all killed.

Ye City The strength of the city defenders' resistance exceeded Zhou Cheng's expectations.

At this time, the Death Battle Camp was already full of wounded soldiers. Those Yuan troops who surrendered suffered more than 30,000 casualties.

Of course, Yuan Shao also lost more than 10,000 people.

However, Yuan Shao was defending the city, and he could accept the loss of more than 10,000 people.

After nightfall, Zhou Cheng did not order the troops to retreat, but continued to attack.

Jia Xu said:"My lord, such an attack regardless of losses is probably difficult." lasting. Zhou Cheng said:"

Teacher, I also know the losses of attacking the city. However, even if we cannot capture Ye City, we must prevent Yuan Benchu ​​from leaving the city easily and buy time for me to occupy the counties in Jizhou.""

Jia Xu thought about Zhou Cheng's thoughts.

He understood what Zhou Cheng meant, which was to 'trap' Yuan Shao in Yecheng.

As long as Yuan Shao is trapped in Yecheng and does not dare to fight, the counties in Jizhou will not be able to fight with him. Yuan Shao is connected in series.

And Jizhou has more than one city of Ye. Even if Ye city cannot be captured, other cities can still be taken.

……

There were snowflakes in the wind.

Although winter has entered and the weather is getting colder and colder, Zhou Cheng still has no plans to retreat.

Outside Yecheng, the ground was covered with a layer of snow.

The burned and destroyed manhole railings rested in the snow and were covered with snow.

In a military camp twenty miles away from Yecheng.

The soldiers rubbed their hands and gathered around the fire.

There was a stove on the fire, and mutton bone soup was simmering in the stove, and strips of meat were roasting next to the stove.

After the soup is ready, pour a bowl for each person and sprinkle with some coriander.

After drinking a bowl while it was hot, I warmed up my body

"I don’t know if the baby has been born, whether it’s a boy or a girl."

"It is estimated that this battle will not last long, the weather is already so cold, and the lord has not attacked the city for several days, so he may have to retreat."

"Keep your voice down, don't let the supervisors hear it, and when the time comes, tell us about our cholera military morale"

"There is meat, but you can't stop your mouths?"

"My lord has never owed us anything. If you mess up the morale of the army again, your blood will surely be spilled on the spot?"

The soldiers got angry talking. Thanks to the supervisor, they each picked up the wheat cakes, soaked them in the mutton soup, mixed them with some meat strips, and ate until they were full.

Zhou Cheng's attack on Yecheng has been temporarily stopped.

Although The soldiers were very loyal to Zhou Cheng, but the cold weather now made it really unsuitable to continue fighting. It was normal for the soldiers to complain.

Moreover, the transportation of grain and grass was becoming more and more difficult.

Yuan Shao sent high-ranking officials and led 5,000 elite cavalry to harass the soldiers. grain road.

Zhou Cheng sent five thousand fine cavalry to protect the grain.

The two sides seemed to be in a state of confrontation.

Of course, for Yuan Shao, this was a good thing. The colder the weather, the better for him.

However, at the end of December 192 AD,.Under the cover of night, Zhou Cheng sent Taishi Ci to lead an army of 30,000 people, and secretly left the camp to capture Anping Kingdom.

Zhang Zhong, the governor of Anping Kingdom, asked Yuan Shao for help.
