On June 27, the fourth year of Chuping, Guo Peng led the army to Yecheng, set up camp, and surrounded three and missing one.

After observing a circle of city defenses, I feel that the trial is indeed a dead brain, and all the city defenses are carried out in accordance with the standards in the art of war.

Of course, this is nothing new, but it will not make a big mistake, and it will be more troublesome to attack.

The conformist is sometimes really difficult to deal with, because he has a lot of holes and very few loopholes.

Guo Peng thought that he sent someone to cross the sea by sea boat to Liaodong to spread the message of Yuan Yuan, but Yecheng did not receive the text of Yuan Yuan, so he sent someone to put five copies of Yuan Yuanwen in a bag and shoot it into the city with a strong crossbow.

The trial got these five copies of Yuan Yuanwen, picked up one copy, unfolded it and looked at it, and was immediately furious.

Guo Peng told all the ugly things that Yuan Shao had done before, and then carried out his own artistic processing on it, slandering Yuan Shao as a person who deceived the world and stole fame, secretly united with Dong Zhuo to harm the righteous people in the Kanto region, and also plotted against him a long time ago, and was disloyal and unfilial.

It's just the extent that you can scold the dead from the grave and come back to life, if you let Yuan Shao see it, don't you be angry on the spot and then resurrected?

Although the judge admitted that there were many things in it, he knew the inside story, and he also knew that Yuan Shao was really unkind to do this thing.

But there is absolutely no joint Dong Zhuo or anything, doesn't this mean that Yuan Shao is a thief?

With this big hat buttoned down, won't Yuan Shao's character that he has worked so hard to maintain for decades simply collapse completely?

Is this still worth it?

The judge was worried, and realized that Guo Peng really came to Jizhou with the intention of Armageddon this time, and I am afraid that it will be a situation that will not end.

It is still unknown what Guo Peng's strength is, if it is really very powerful, Yuan Shao is more than lucky.

But in any case, as a minister, he must try his best to protect Yecheng.

As long as Yecheng is not lost, Guo Pengxiu wants to go north to continue to attack Jizhou and threaten Yuan Shao's rear.

The trial still does not know that Yuan Shao has exterminated Gongsun Zhan, and is negotiating conditions with powerful landlords from all walks of life in Jixian County and Youzhou in Youzhou, preparing to occupy Youzhou, and is complacent and ready to further unite with the Karasuma people and plot to merge the state.

The judge only knew that he had to defend Yecheng well, and he would never let Guo Peng succeed.

That night, Guo Peng wrote a letter again and shot into the city, trying to recruit the judge, but the judge was furious, and immediately wrote a letter to reply to Guo Peng, scolding Guo Peng to the blood.

What kind of Huangkou child is arrogant and self-defeating, what is the right way to quickly withdraw from the army and apologize, etc., want Guo Peng to recognize what his background is, and dare to slander the family of the fourth and third princes, etc., Guo Peng laughed and was very happy.

What does it mean to have an iron heart?

This special thing made Wang Ba eat scales and have an iron heart.

The cautious Guo has already been sentenced to death by trial, but on the surface, he still pretended to be generous and showed the letter to the martial artists under his command, mocking himself, saying that he was twenty-eight years old and was still called Huangkou Xiaoer, which was really a failure.

Early the next morning, Guo ordered the siege of the city.

Dozens of trebuchets are fully loaded and ready to go.

Guo gave an order, and a large number of stone projectiles flew into Yecheng, smashed on the walls of Yecheng, on the city tower, or flew into the city and smashed into the buildings in the city.

For a time, the defenders of Yecheng, who had never seen trebuchets attacking the city, were greatly panicked, and the residents of the city were also greatly panicked.

The trial was shocked, he didn't expect Guo Peng to have such a big killing weapon, and immediately ordered the elite guards to step forward to stabilize the order, no matter how they protect the city wall, they must not let the city wall fail.

The trial now seems to understand why Fanyang County was taken by Guo Peng so quickly.

Gao Ran and Yan Liang are not not working hard, but they really can't beat it!

Broken!

Looking at the huge stone bullets flying in the air in a safe place, his face was full of worry, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with it at all, so he could only watch the stone bullets fall on the city wall and smash into the city, and watch the soldiers flee in all directions to dodge, and their morale and will to fight were destroyed in an instant.

Guo Zifeng......

This sucks.

The judge gritted his back molars, eager to eat Guo Pengsheng alive.

After the trebuchet attack, it was a strong crossbow shot, and then the infantry destroyed the advance, filled the ravine, and attacked forward with a large shield, and fought in the city, trying to break through the city walls.

At this time, the trial still played a role, seeing that the trebuchet stopped attacking, the trial immediately mobilized elite soldiers to climb the city wall to defend and fight with Guo Peng's army.

From noon to dusk, Guo Pengming withdrew his troops, and the day's battle was over.

After a little inventory of the battle damage, Guo Peng learned that more than 300 soldiers had been lost in the half-day siege battle, and all the wounded had been properly settled, the main force still existed, and the will to fight was strong.

Guo Peng found Xi Zhong and Guo Jia and discussed with them the key points of the siege.

"The city wall of Yecheng is obviously heightened and thickened, which is not comparable to the city wall of Fanyang County at all, there are more defenders, more adequate defense, sharper ordnance, and it is normal for our army to lose more."

Guo Jia said.

"Normal is normal, I understand, but Fengxiao, they are all soldiers and horses trained by me, and each of them is my hard work, and I can't bear the loss of hundreds of them."

Guo Peng sighed: "Seeing hundreds of them die in battle, my heart is as painful as being ripped off a piece of flesh, they are all my cornerstone." ”

Guo Peng's words are true, these elite troops are the cornerstone of his victory in the world.

It took countless hours and countless money, and a large amount of money to get in, to train such a fierce and warlike Zhendong army, if there are too many losses under Yecheng, it will be more than worth the loss.

"Is it worth losing so many soldiers and horses for the sake of a city?"

Guo Peng asked.

Xi Zhong and Guo Jia looked at each other.

"Ming Gong, if we don't take Yecheng, we can't go north, and the Yecheng soldiers and horses will cut off our grain route at any time, and Yecheng must be taken."

Xi Zhong said.

Guo Jia also nodded.

"I'm not saying that Yecheng is left alone, Yecheng will definitely be taken, but is there a better way to spend so much time and so many lives on the army to storm it?"

Guo Peng suddenly recalled that the first time he participated in the war was to fight Zhang Liang's army near Yecheng, which was nearly ten years ago.

"But speaking of which, back then, under the leadership of my teacher Lu Gong, I defeated the Yellow Turban Thief Army led by Zhang Liang on the bank of Yecheng, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost ten years ago, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to return here again."

Guo Peng shook his head: "I haven't seen the teacher for a long time, and I don't know how the teacher is, after this battle, let's go to Shanggu to see the teacher." ”

Xi Zhong and Guo Jia didn't speak, they followed Guo Peng for a while, and as they walked, Guo Peng suddenly stood on his heels and stopped moving forward.

"Ming Gong?"

"Brother?"

Guo Peng turned his face and looked at Xi Zhong and Guo Jia.

"In the entire Jizhou, how many cities can be as deep as Yecheng with high walls and sufficient defenders?"
