This is co-existent with the city, but it is not Yanghu who casually talks about it, but the military order of Yanghu and Cao Liangli, the city is in the people, and the city is dead!

For this military order, Yang Hu has made full preparations, including this battle of spirit stones, which is part of his preparation.

Attack is the best defense, so Yanghu will take the initiative to attack and ambush the vanguard battalion of the Sima army at Lingshi Pass, no matter how many Sima troops are annihilated, it will reduce the strength of the Sima army to a certain extent.

It's just estimated that Yanghu himself would not have thought that he would achieve such a good record, not only could he kill and injure a large number of Sima Jun's living forces, but also killed Sima Jun's general Sun Li, severely damaged Sima Jun, and to a certain extent, delayed Sima Jun's attack.

Of course, this alone is far from enough, even if the vanguard battalion is wiped out, Sima Yi will still send another large army to come, how to hold Jiexiu, but also rely on the solid defense of Jiexiu City.

Cao Liang's new 10,000 garrisons and catapults and crossbow vehicles and other equipment have been in place, Yanghu returned to Jiexiu City, seeing this state, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, it seems that Cao Liang takes Jiexiu's gains and losses very seriously, and has sent so many additional troops and weapons and equipment, this is the rhythm of desperate work with Sima Jun!

Even if there are no new troops and equipment, Yanghu still has a great grasp of holding Jiexiu City, today's Jiexiu City, has long been not the previous second-class small county, the new brick city wall, so that Jiexiu City's ability to resist the attack has been improved by several grades, the original rammed earth city wall, under the attack of the catapult, will soon fall apart, and the brick city wall, has become the nemesis of the catapult, as long as the catapult does not reach the strength of the saturation attack, want to break through the defense system of the city wall, it will become very difficult.

The attack and defense of the city, just like the contradiction, is always in an opposing relationship, the attack is strong, the defense is weak, the appearance of catapults, is a huge threat to the rammed earth city wall, but with the emergence of the stone brick city wall, the defense of the city has the upper hand.

If you want to completely destroy the strong city wall, probably only the appearance of thermal weapons, at this stage, Cao Liang does not have to worry about the existence of rivals.

Yanghu ordered the whole army to be on alert, and there must be no slackness, although the defense of Jiexiu City has been upgraded, but if there is a problem with the people defending it, it is also possible to lose it.

In this regard, Yanghu will never leave Sima Jun with any chance.

After waiting for three days, on the southern horizon, the figure of Sima Jun finally appeared, Sima Jun had been stationed in Lingshi, which was thirty miles away, and it actually took three days to launch an attack on Jiexiu City, obviously Sima Yi had made a new adjustment.

On the horizon, Sima Jun's banner covers the sun, and the black pressure is all over the mountains and fields, just looking at this formation, it is mighty, like locusts and ants, it is enough to make people frightened.

The Bingzhou army was fully prepared for battle, one by one, calm, engrossed, bows in hand, arrows at the string, just waiting for the moment when Sima Jun rushed up.

But after Sima Jun made a head on the horizon, he stopped advancing and set up camp in place, obviously they did not plan to attack the city immediately, and this step-by-step combat method was Sima Yi's usual style.

Yanghu has no intention of going out of the city to attack at night, just looking at this style, how can Sima Jun be unprepared, and now he will go out of the city to sneak attack, he will definitely fall into Sima Yi's trap, this kind of money-losing business, Yanghu will naturally not do it.

On the contrary, he ordered to strengthen the vigilance to prevent the Sima army from carrying out a sneak attack and siege at night.

This night, the battlefield seems to be unusually calm, the two sides are safe, but in the calm, there is still an undercurrent, both sides are secretly on guard, it is estimated that few people can sleep well this night, as the sky brightens, the atmosphere becomes more and more tense, and the battle is about to break out.

Chen Qian, who had just taken over as the vanguard commander, naturally couldn't sleep at night, no matter whether the Bingzhou army would launch a night attack or not, he had to make careful arrangements, even if there was a one-in-10,000 chance, he must not take it lightly.

Compared with Sun Lilai, Chen Qian is far from each other in terms of age and prestige, but this does not mean that Chen Qian's ability is not good, Sima Yi's vision of people is very poisonous, since he thinks that Chen Qian has the ability to lead troops to fight and serve as a vanguard, then Chen Qian must have something outstanding and be competent for this position.

Serving as a county guard and commanding a vanguard army of such a scale are completely different things, not to mention the new defeat of the Sima army, and the burden on Chen Qian's shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.

Sima Yi raised the establishment of the pioneer battalion from 30,000 to 50,000, and it can be seen that Sima Yi's attitude towards taking Jiexiu City, although Sima Yi did not give Chen Qian any time limit requirements, but for Chen Qian, if he wants to prove himself, he must take Jiexiu City as soon as possible to eliminate people's doubts about others.

After resting outside Jiexiu City for a night, Chen Qian issued an order to bury the pot and make rice, and after a full meal, Sima Jun officially launched an attack on Jiexiu City.

Sima Jun's army was neat and neat, with a clear banner, and under the rumbling war drums, it slowly advanced to the city of Jiexiu, and Chen Qian and Sima Shi led an army of 50,000 to reach the city of Jiexiu.

If the defending side wants to fight, it will also send the war general out of the city and fight on the last one, this battle of the generals, the victory or defeat is of great significance, and it is of great help to improve their morale, of course, the prerequisite must be to win, and if they lose, they will make morale low.

Of course, this is a conventional way of fighting, and when the attacker is challenged, the defender can choose to fight or not to fight.

Chen Qian sent Han Sheng, a partial general, to challenge the city, and when Han Sheng arrived at the city, he ordered his soldiers to wave their flags and shout, and scolded the formation loudly, and the sound of the scolding array was naturally unbearable, which aroused the indignation of the generals of the city and the state army, and they asked Yanghu to fight one after another, wanting to compete with Han Sheng.

Yang Hu secretly sneered, Sima Jun used such a radical method is not extremely naïve, only simple-minded and impulsive people will fall for them, in fact, the fighting general has no meaning for the side defending the city, if you win, although it can boost morale to a certain extent, but the effect is also extremely limited, if the besieging side takes the opportunity to sneak attack, it will fall into an unfavorable situation.
