Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses approaching the city wall, Yu Ze was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly rushed to the subordinates who were about to lead his troops to rescue the east of the city: "Stop, stop for me, no one is allowed to go to the east of the city, stay here for me to defend the city." ”

When his subordinates heard Yu Ze's order, they were a little embarrassed and said: "General, it was General Gongsun who sent us to reinforce the east of the city, if we don't go, will he punish us for disobeying military orders?" ”

"I'm afraid of what he's doing!" Yu glared at his subordinates and said, "Didn't you see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses attacking the city?" Go and tell the messenger of General Gongsun that we are also under attack here, and we cannot send men to support them, so let them find a way to defend the city themselves. ”

After the troops waited for Yu Ze to finish speaking, they carefully reminded him: "General, we and General Chen have enemy troops in the area, if we don't send troops to reinforce the east of the city, and General Chen sends troops, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain, right?" ”

The words of his subordinates reminded Yu Ze that if he used the enemy's siege as an excuse not to send people to reinforce the east of the city; And Chen Jiang, who was also attacked by the enemy, sent soldiers and horses to the rescue, and after repelling the attack of the Jizhou army, he was not easy to explain in front of Gongsun Fan.

Thinking of this, Yu Ze hurriedly said to his subordinates: "You immediately send someone to inform General Chen Jiang, don't send troops to support the east of the city, let Zhang Ji and the Jizhou army fight to the death." ”

Without waiting for Yu Ze's subordinates to leave, Chen Jiang first sent a henchman over. Yu Ze knew Chen Jiang's henchman, and as soon as he saw him coming, he immediately couldn't wait to ask: "Your general asked you to come over, do you have any advice?" ”

The henchman walked quickly in front of Yu Ze, looked left and right, and looked like he wanted to say something. Yu Ze waved his hand at him and said with a big grin: "Don't worry, you are surrounded by my cronies, you can say whatever you want, and you will definitely not leak any news." ”

Hearing Yu Ze say this, Chen Jiang's henchmen were relieved, and after he saluted Yu Ze, he said: "General Qi Yu, my general ordered the villain to come, just to tell the general that there is no need to send troops to reinforce the east of the city." If General Gongsun investigates it afterwards, he will say that the area we defended has also been attacked by the Jizhou army, and he will be safe and sound. ”

"Great, that's great." Yu Ze learned that Chen Jiang's thoughts coincided with his own, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly called his own troops, and instructed him: "You go and tell General Gongsun's messenger that the south and west of the city have also been attacked by the Jizhou army, and it is impossible to send men and horses to reinforce them." ”

Just when Chen Jiang and Yu discussed not sending troops to rescue the east of the city, the offensive and defensive battles in the east of the city had entered a white-hot level. In order to prevent Dian Wei from occupying the city wall, Zhang Ji transferred all the troops he could use to the city wall, and some of them went to help the soldiers on the original city wall, throwing rolling wood and stones under the city to prevent the Jizhou army from landing the city; Part of it was used to besiege Dian Wei, trying to close the gap he had opened.

Dian Wei danced the iron halberd in his hand like a windmill, and fought with the Youzhou soldiers who rushed up, trying his best to prevent them from rushing to the battlement, sealing the gap he had opened, so as to cover more Jizhou soldiers to climb the city wall.

Han Zhan and Zhao Yun were two arrows away from the city wall, looking at the rolling wooden stones thrown from the city wall, smashing the bamboo ladders one by one, and smashing the soldiers on the ladders into a blur of flesh and blood. Han Zhan couldn't help frowning when he saw the heavy casualties of his subordinates, he thought in his heart, if Ming Jin withdrew his troops at this time, he could certainly reduce the casualties of the troops, but if he wanted to capture this city, such a tragic siege battle must continue. But if the troops were not withdrawn, the corpses of the soldiers who fell under the rolling logs and bows and arrows would be piled up higher and higher under the city walls.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard Zhao Yun say to himself: "Second brother, hurry up and look, Ziman is besieged by Youzhou soldiers on the city wall." ”

Han Zhan looked in the direction of Zhao Yun's finger, and sure enough, he saw a military general with a double halberd who was besieged by a group of Youzhou soldiers on the city wall. Although he was too far away to see the other party's appearance clearly, from his figure and the weapon in his hand, Han Zhan still recognized that person was Dian Wei at a glance.

Dian Wei was almost alone on the city wall at the moment, and many of the soldiers who climbed up the city wall from the ladder had just raised their weapons, and they were stabbed to death with spears by the Youzhou soldiers on the city wall, or shot into hedgehogs with random arrows. Even the brave Dian Wei also had seven or eight arrows stuck in his body, fortunately, the armor he wore was good, and when the bow and arrow hit him, it offset a lot of momentum, don't look at the several arrows stuck in his body, but in fact, the injury was not serious.

Han Zhan saw that Dian Wei was besieged, and immediately felt anxious, although he knew that Dian Wei's martial arts were superb, but two fists were difficult to defeat four hands, under the siege of so many soldiers, Dian Wei's life would be in danger sooner or later. He hurriedly turned his head to Zhao Yun and said, "Big brother, immediately attack the city with all your might." It is good to take the city, but even if you can't take it, you have to keep your son full of body. ”

"The soldiers suffered a lot of casualties." Guo Jia, who didn't speak on the side, saw the tragic offensive and defensive battle, frowned and said to Han Zhan: "Lord, why don't we withdraw our troops for the time being and fight again another day?" ”

"No, you can't sing gold." As soon as Guo Jia's words were finished, Han Zhan said categorically: "If Mingjin withdraws his troops at this moment, so many soldiers will die in vain, and they must continue to fight." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yun was about to dispatch troops, Han Zhan hurriedly instructed him again: "Big brother, transfer more archers to come forward, let them use bows and arrows to suppress the defenders at the head of the city, and cover the infantry to attack the city." In addition, he immediately sent people to give orders to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, asking them to change from a feint attack to a main attack, so that Gongsun Fan could not send troops and horses from these two directions to reinforce the east of the city. ”

"Obey!" Zhao Yun agreed, and began to dispatch troops according to Han Zhan's instructions, preparing to reinforce Dian Wei at the head of the city. At the same time, he also sent messengers to the south and west of the city. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were ordered to switch from a feint attack to a formal attack in order to contain the defenders in the city and prevent them from reinforcing the east of the city.

Looking at Dian Wei, who was fighting alone with the Youzhou army at the head of the city, Han Zhan couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat, and he silently muttered in his heart: "Ziman, I have launched an attack with all my strength, and I will be able to help you soon, you must withstand it." ”

"Lord!" Guo Jia, who was beside him, saw Han Zhan's thoughts, and comforted him: "General Ziman's martial arts are outstanding, there should be no problem for a group of Youzhou soldiers, even if we can't capture the city, we can protect General Ziman's whole body and retreat." ”
