As soon as the plan was released, the action began.

Guan Hai and Zang Ba have stayed together for a long time, and they have developed a tacit understanding with each other, as Liu Zheng gave them the order to attack Xiapi City, the two marched in the direction of Xiapi City at the same time, of course, Zang Ba's position was closer to Xiapi City, so Zang Ba's men and horses were the first to arrive in Xiapi City.

Before Guan Hai, he had already led his men and horses to Xiapi City to Xuzhou, and it would take a while for Liu Zheng to convey the order to him, so Guan Hai's 10,000 soldiers and horses arrived in Xiapi City for a day and a half after Zang Ba arrived, Guan Hai hurriedly brought people to Xiapi City.

However, even if it was a little late, the battle situation in Xiapi City did not fall.

The 10,000 horses led by Zang Ba had already surrounded the entire Xiapi City a day ago.

Although Zang Ba only had more than 10,000 men and horses, when he arrived in Xiapi City, he did not attract the attention of the defenders of the city tower and Sun Shao, after all, there were still tens of thousands of horses in Xiapi City at this time, and these horses under Zang Ba City were at best on par with these horses in the city, and Sun Shao occupied the city wall to defend, so he naturally would not be afraid.

It's just that Sun Shao is still very interested in the identities of Zang Ba and these people.

When Zang Ba led his soldiers and horses to the outside of Xiapi City and announced the siege of Xiapi City, Sun Shao in the city had already appeared on the tower of Xiapi City, and began to have a gloomy face, paying close attention to any movements under the city.

"Listen to the defenders in the city, you have been surrounded by our army, if you don't want to die, go out of the city and surrender now, otherwise when my army enters the city, you will have no way to live."

Zang Ba was the same as those who arrived in Xiapi City, as soon as he arrived in Xiapi City, he began to shout at the city tower, showing his momentum.

Although such shouts are useless, the enemy will not be frightened to surrender directly because of a few shouts.

But this kind of behavior is still very necessary.

First, it is possible to show some siege momentum against these defenders on the city tower.

Second, it is also a good blow to the morale of the defenders in the city, so that they will feel panicked, after all, the city has been attacked one after another, and these people will be a little tired of war after being busy these days.

Not to mention the guards in this city, even Sun Shao, the defender who has been staying in this city, was stunned when he saw Zang Ba and these people and came to Xiapi City.

On the one hand, I don't know who Zang Ba is, but I know that it is the enemy army, and I am still wondering in my heart that a group of Yuan Jun has just left on the front foot, could it be that another group of Yuan Jun has been killed?

On the other hand, these guys have encountered too many attacks these days, and now there are not enough defenders in the city, and Sun Shao is the only one here, Sun Shao is also a little hesitant and doesn't know how to deal with these enemy troops.

"Who are you?"

While Sun Shao was puzzled, what he wanted to know was actually what the identity of the group of people who appeared outside Xiapi City?

Of course, Zang Ba didn't plan to hide it all the time, since Sun Shao on the city tower asked, he also told them compassionately.

"Want to know who we are? Haha, it doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that your Xiapi City is about to change hands. ”

"Let me tell you the truth, we are an army under the command of His Majesty Liu Zheng, and those who know each other will immediately open the city gate and let us in, otherwise when the main force of our army arrives, we will not pay attention to it at all."

Zang Ba said a word and shouted at the city tower, which immediately made Sun Shao, who was still guessing Zang Ba's identity, his face sank.

Especially when he heard Zang Ba say that Liu Zheng won the people, Sun Shao's face became even more ugly.

Originally, here in Picheng, Liu Bei was the forefront of dealing with Yuan Shao, and with Liu Bei's power now, it seems a little difficult to deal with a Yuan Shao, but with a Liu Zheng, it will be incapacitated.

Fighting against Yuan Shao alone, Liu Bei has such strength, but with the addition of Liu Zheng, Liu Bei's strength can be seen to be a little stretched.

After Sun Shao listened to Zang Ba's words, he didn't have any doubts, and after confirming that these people under the city were Liu Zheng's people, even Sun Shao didn't bother to talk nonsense with these people under the city.

Because Sun Shao also knows that the hatred between Liu Zheng and Liu Bei is not something that can be said clearly in a few words.

Since it is not clear to say, it is only to add to the troubles of Sun Shao and Zang Ba under his name.

Zang Ba saw that his identity was exposed, and the people on the city tower ignored him.

At this time, Zang Ba was a little angry, and immediately roared and shouted a few words at the city tower.

It's a pity that the people on the city tower still ignore Zang Ba and don't answer Zang Ba's questions, so they treat it coldly.

Zang Ba didn't plan to attack the city directly, but after seeing Sun Shao's attitude, he immediately ordered his men and horses to start building the tools used in the siege.

The siege troops under Liu Zheng's command have such a thing as a perspective at any time, because when Liu Zheng attacked Linyi, he personally set up a catapult.

This kind of catapult is simple to make, you only need to carry the disassembled brackets in batches, and then when you need to use it, you can assemble it directly, it is much lighter than those thunderbolts and catapults, and the lethality of such catapults is not much worse than those catapults called thunderbolts.

Therefore, Zang Ba only needs to order someone to assemble the catapult he has brought over, and then he can use the catapult in a short time, and then send someone to move some large stones nearby, or cut down some branches, which can be made into a light shooting object.

In Zang Ba's slightly angry mood, Zang Ba directly ordered people to launch a projection at the city tower in Xiapi City.

A whizzing burst of projectiles, although the number of catapults was small.

But the city tower was still bloodbathed by Zang Ba and these horses.

Although it did not cause particularly large casualties, it had already brought some pressure to Sun Shao on the city tower.

Sun Shao was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay on the city tower for too long, so he could only order people to close the city gate so that he could wait for reinforcements here.

The news of Zang Ba's siege of Picheng did not intend to be secret, even if he wanted to hide it, after all, this was Liu Bei's territory, and he would definitely not be able to hide it, and the spies in Xuzhou soon spread the news to Liu Bei in Xuzhou and Guan Yu in Tanxian County.

The mansion of Liu Bei in Xuzhou City.

Liu Bei had always been worried about the battle situation on the side of Xiapi City, but after sending Zhao Yun over to support Xiapi, Liu Bei was not so worried.
