The Yuan army halted its large-scale offensive and switched to shield cover, followed by soldiers carrying dirt or carrying baskets full of dirt, and then pouring mud into the moat.

"Come on, transfer the bed and shoot me, try to stop Yuan Shujun from filling in the city and river, and drag it for as long as you can." Wang Xiu saw that Yuan Jian had changed his siege method, and the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a trace of arc.

The rules are serious about attacking the city, and he is never afraid of the other party.

Peng Cheng didn't want to go down, and it was impossible to break the embankment and flood.

And if you want to attack the city quickly, Wang Xiu also predicted.

It is almost impossible for the other party to make any strange moves, of course, it is not without means, such as having internal responses in the city and being willing to be internal support.

However, this aspect was also strangled by him in the cradle.

Time was a day of jockeying here in the moat.

Yuan's army finally filled the moat with the advantage of large numbers and strength.

At night, Yuan Jun did not stop, and continued to fill, increasing the width of the river.

At dawn the next day, Yuan Jun was again in unison.

"Kill! Kill! Kill ......"

"Siege ......!"

With yesterday's experience, this time the shield soldiers of the Yuan army were in front, forming a two-line defense system, and moving forward step by step, without taking the charge form.

Because now they can cross the moat safely, and they don't have to hurry.

Moreover, Yuan Jian adjusted the siege deployment, and the archers also followed behind the Dun soldiers.

When countless arrows were shot under the city, the first lieutenant army on the city wall was also suppressed and suppressed.

Arrows on both sides flew up and down the city.

With a "bang", countless cloud ladders were erected on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Yuan army carrying short and medium blades began to climb.

"Throw, smash me!"

The defenders also began to fight back fiercely, smashing all kinds of stones, sassalwood and of course oil and gold juice frantically.

Countless howls erupted for a moment.

The Yuan army under the city gathered more and more, falling one and climbing up another.

But they were never able to reach the city, let alone take it.

The battle was fierce all morning, and both sides suffered a lot of losses.

"Uncle, are we holding on? Yuan Shu's army seems to be a little thunderous, the rain is small, it seems to be a huge number of people, and the momentum is fierce, and the fight is not as tragic and crazy as expected. Zhang Zhao didn't know what to do from the city to the gate of the city tower, but he was followed by a few soldiers with shields to cover him.

"Why did Zibu come to the city, it's very dangerous here, it's better for you to stay in the city, and you don't need your support here for the time being." Wang Xiu said with concern, and then replied:

"This is just the beginning, Yuan Shu's military advisor Yuan Jian is a powerful person, they have sufficient personnel, and their strength is dozens of times ours, so he is using inferior troops to fight with me, when Yuan Shu's real elite pawn, or fierce general, will come on the field, it will be the final decisive battle of Guan Tou, and then it will be even more tragic."

There are also routines of conventional play, and there is no doubt that Yuan Shu is still quite powerful.

"Tian Ji Horse Racing!" Zhang Zhao was originally a smart person, and after Wang Xiu briefly mentioned it, he knew Yuan Lian's methods.

The siege battle has always been a war of attrition, which consumes both the opponent and oneself.

The elite soldiers must be used at a critical time, and when the fire comes, no one will be stingy.

Obviously, Yuan Jian and Yuan Shu also understood this, and Peng Cheng could not be won in a while, or in half a day.

So the key is to look at the strength of Peng Chengcheng's counterattack, when it has dropped significantly, it is when they will make a move.

In the past, it was just that the various divisions rotated to alternate attacks to maintain a certain rhythm.

"Zibu, you go down first, I'll do some troop adjustments later, and it may be dangerous for the city." Wang Xiu suddenly said to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao said: "Okay, I won't drag Shuzhi down, and I won't cause trouble to everyone." ”

After Zhang Zhao went down, Wang Xiu immediately ordered: "Replace the Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou, reduce the personnel by a quarter, and at the same time reduce the frequency of the use of bows and crossbows, and the trebuchet troops in the city are ready to strike at the enemy outside the city at any time." ”

"Whoa!"

The generals were ordered to go down.

With the replacement of the Danyang soldiers, the counterattack against Yuan Shu's army was sharply reduced.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu's siege troops were overjoyed, as long as they worked harder, they could capture Pengcheng.

"Rush! Work hard, the Qingzhou army in the city is dying, rush up for me......"

The mood of the besieging troops was suddenly mobilized, and this change was quickly fed back to Yuan Lian.

Yuan Jian naturally noticed this, not only him, but also the general Ji Ling and others also discovered this change.

They began to rejoice secretly, too.

It seems that the city can be captured today, and with some additional troops, you can knock on Pengcheng.

can completely wipe out the First Army, and completely end the myth that Xu Dingbu is undefeated.

However, Yuan Jian did not show too much excitement and excitement.

Instead, ponder for a while, Peng Cheng's counterattack was reduced, whether this was artificial or real.

Could it be a bait made by Wang Xiu?

Guess!

It's always a game between strategists.

Whoever guesses the other party's intentions and who guesses what the other party wants to do next can be invincible.

"Strategist, are we going to strike with all our might? If you don't take the opportunity to send the most elite veterans, you will capture the city in one fell swoop and take Pengcheng. Ji Ling asked.

Yuan Jian shook his head slightly and said, "Don't use it for the time being, take a look first." ”

Ji Ling and the others couldn't help but feel a little sorry, but Yuan Lian's prestige was here, and no one dared to say anything.

So the output of Yuan's army was still the same, and there was no increase in the number of troops invested.

The war is still so scorching.

Soon Wang Xiu in the city issued another order, and the number of troops at the head of the city was reduced a little.

"The military advisor can strike with all his strength now." This time it wasn't Ji Ling who asked, but the general Lei Bo couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Jian didn't speak, but just stared intently at the west gate of Pengcheng, as if trying to see a sign that something was wrong.

However, he didn't see anything unusual, the opponent's counterattack was weakened very subtly, not suddenly and suddenly, but little by little, as if it was really caused by excessive casualties.

Moreover, more and more of their soldiers stepped on the head of the city, and then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with their subordinates.

The situation of the Qingzhou Army in Pengcheng is in some crisis.

But soon someone came up with fierce soldiers to support and drove the Yuzhou army down.

Without the fierce generals in the city to gain a foothold, relying on these ordinary soldiers and ordinary generals, it is still a little difficult to completely open the west gate of Pengcheng.

Ji Ling saw that Yuan Lian didn't speak, so he glanced at Liu Shen on the side.

Then Liu Shen quietly ran to Yuan Shu.

After a while, Yuan Shu arrived at the position of the Chinese army from the rear.

"Is Yaoqing's last chance? Do you have the confidence to take it in one fell swoop, you don't have to call for casualties too much, as long as you can eat Peng Cheng and capture or kill Wang Xiu and Li Jin, everything is worth it. ”

Yuan Jian knew that Yuan Shu's anxious problem had come again.

In other words, there is no one in the entire army except him Yuan Jian who is not in a hurry.

"The lord can wipe it, but I don't dare to guarantee that it will succeed, even if Wang Xiu wants to cheat something, I think his troop consumption should not be small, this fact is unavoidable for him, in doubling the attack intensity, he should be able to take it down." Yuan Shu was not completely sure, but he still obeyed Yuan Shu's will.

Besides, he also wanted to see what other tricks Wang Xiu would have.

Dare to stay in Pengcheng and not retreat, Wang Xiu should not only have such a little ability.
