Zhang Jiedao: Okay, try to fill the moat within five days.

Jia Xu said: My lord, Gongsun Zhan shouldn't be so watching us fill up the moat, and he should also send troops to destroy it, Simen should arrange crossbowmen to make his men and horses unable to rush out, and we can also destroy the drawbridge to make it inconvenient for the enemy to come out.

Zhang Jie ordered Ju Yi and Hao Zhao to lead troops to guard the four gates to prevent Gongsun Zan from suddenly opening the city and killing the officers and soldiers who were filling the river. And dozens of trebuchets under the southern city have been in place and have begun to fire stone bombs.

And that night, Zhang Jie ordered Ju Yi to shoot the written book letter bed crossbow into the city, so he used the bed crossbow to shoot directly into the city, the bed crossbow can shoot hundreds of steps, which is incomparable to ordinary bows and crossbows, and he shot hundreds of letters that night. And it's shooting all over the city. Many people and former Liu Yu's subordinates also received it, and of course Gongsun Zan also received it, and ordered to receive invitation letters, but this is everywhere, it is impossible to collect it, and it is also panicked.

Originally, Gongsun Zhan was worried that those Liu Yu's subordinates would rebel, so that Zhang Jie's letter made him even more nervous, and everyone was suspicious.

The next day, Gongsun Zhan stood on the city wall, seeing that Zhang Jie was filling the moat, but it was useless to release arrows, Zhang Jie had a shield soldier on top, Yan Gang said: I must stop the Jizhou army from filling the river, the lord asked me to take a cavalry to rush to kill the enemy who filled the river, and killed them by surprise. Gongsun Zhan said: You take three thousand men and horses to rush and kill, go and go back quickly, Tian Yu said, and finally rushed out of the west gate, Yan Gang nodded.

When Yan Gang organized the cavalry to start assembling at the west gate, Yan Gang shouted to open the city gate, when the city gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, Ju Yi saw the city gate open, and his heart was happy. In front of the suspension bridge was a row of huge rejection horses, which were connected by ropes, and rows of bamboo spears sharpened with bamboo were tied to the rejection horses. There is also a row of pikemen behind the horse, and the pikemen are surrounded by a shield, and on the side of the shield are crossbowmen with strong crossbows.

The dozen cavalrymen in front became lamb kebabs. Ju Yi didn't take the rejection after crossing the river last time. This time two rows of rejecting horses were released, and the rejection of horses was mainly to reduce the mobility of the cavalry, when the war horse stopped in front of the rejection of the horse, that was death, the pikemen could stab, the crossbowmen could shoot, and the target was large and close, and there was no life.

When Yan Gang found that something was wrong, he urged the cavalry in front of him to rush over, but the place was so big, how to rush, the last one died, when more than 100 horses died, Yan Gang shouted to release the arrows, but unfortunately Ju Yi had already prepared the shield soldiers to block the arrows as soon as they raised their shields. In the end, Yan Gang died nearly 200 people, and before he rushed over, he had no choice but to retract back into the city, and a small area outside the city gate was full of human corpses and horse corpses. Some of the horses were only wounded and not dead. Plus some wounded soldiers, the cries were terrible.

When Gongsun Zan heard Yan Gang say that Zhang Jie had blocked the four gates, his heart was also a little barren, and he asked Tian Yudao: Guorang, what should I do? Could it be that Zhang Jie plans to besiege us to death? Tian Yudao: Don't worry, my lord, Zhang Jie won't trap us, or he doesn't need to fill the river, it seems that I underestimated Zhang Shimin. This person is determined to kill, but he also has a benevolent heart.

Yan Gangdao: What does the military advisor mean? Tian Yu said: Zhang Jie is afraid that tens of thousands of people in this city will all die, and Yu only now understands why he blocked the door and filled the river again. He also said: General Yan, what if Zhang Jie blocked the four gates with stones, and then sent crossbowmen to besiege the city? How did we turn out?

Gongsun Chan is also full of despair, if it is really like what Tian Yu said, as long as it takes less than a year, they will either starve to death, or they will have to surrender? Yan Gang was also afraid, and said: Maybe Zhang Jie didn't expect this, Tian Yu said:

No, Zhang Jie thought of it, or wouldn't he block the four gates and fill the river? If he doesn't fill the river, then it will be harder for us to rush out.

Yan Gangdao: There are many horses in others, and there is not enough grain and grass, Tian Yu said: Only twenty or thirty thousand horses are enough, and the other people can return to Zhongshan, Hejian and other places to get food.

He didn't want the whole city to starve to death, so he didn't plan to besiege the city.

I heard that he slaughtered the family in Jizhou, and it seems that he also has a benevolent and righteous side!

Hum! Gongsun Zhan looked unhappy and said: Fake benevolence and false righteousness, it's not worth mentioning, let's still think about how to defend the city!

Yan Gangdao: Lord, shall we go to the north gate and the south gate to try it out? Gongsun Zhan said: Forget it, Zhang Jie has already taken precautions, let's defend against the enemy on the city wall, I want to see how he breaks through the city?

Zou Dandao: My lord, I'm very worried about someone in the city defecting to the enemy, and many of the letters that Zhang Jie shot into the city last night must have fallen into some big families and the original surrender army. Now that the enemy army is about to attack the city, these surrendered people will inevitably have different intentions, and we must help us defend the city, otherwise we will have too few soldiers and horses.

Tian Yudao: My lord, let's replace the important position of the four gates with our cronies and soldiers, and all the men and horses who surrendered will go to the city wall to defend the city, and we must arrange their positions from the new one, and rotate them frequently, for any soldiers who want to get close to the city gate, they can be arrested and interrogated first, in short, the four gates must not be opened. Gongsun Chan said: What the country said is feasible, just arrange it like this, be fast.

A few days later, the moat was finally filled, Zhang Jie did not attack the city, and Zhang Jie said in the Chinese army tent: Now that the moat has been filled, the trebuchet can directly hit the stone on the city wall. Tell me how to attack the city?

Wei Yandao: My lord, Yan looked around the city wall, and the north gate was the easiest to break. Zhang Jiedao: How can you see it? Wen Chang said.

Wei Yandao: The north wind has been blowing these days, if we attack the city in the north, the arrows are downwind, shoot farther, and the trebuchet will also hit farther, we can put smoke under the city, so that the enemy can't open their eyes, and if the wind is strong, we can throw up some dirt, dust, lime, etc., so that the enemy's eyes are injured, the enemy is facing the wind, and we are facing the wind, so we can't hurt our eyes. And you can build a few small slopes opposite the city wall, a little higher than the city wall, and then condescendingly, shoot the enemy defending the city with a bow and crossbow, suppress the enemy crossbowmen, and reduce the pressure on our siege personnel.

Zhang Jie said: Yes, Wen Chang has a heart, just do as you say, have a good rest tonight and start attacking the city tomorrow, Liu Meng, how are the drums prepared? Liu Meng said: Ready, but I'm afraid that the soldiers won't get used to it, Zhang Jie said: It's okay, you can try it a few times first, we are not really attacking the city, the purpose is to make the enemy tired, and then start knocking, tell everyone, don't listen to the drum these days. Promise!

Tong! Tong! Tong! As soon as the drums of the siege sounded, Gongsun Chan guarded the city soldiers, and immediately organized to defend the city, everyone was nervous to death, and the Jizhou army began to have some people preparing to gather to attack the city, but the officers repeatedly recruited and did not act, because it was the first time to hear the drums of the siege, Gongsun Chan himself went to the city wall, but when he found that the enemy army did not attack the city, he was a little confused, Yan Gang said: The enemy army should be gathering people and horses, and they will attack the city in a while, but they are impatient to wait, tom! Tong! Tong! It sounded again, and Liu Meng also let people shout, charge, but no one came to attack the city, the drum was close to the city gate, whenever the drum sounded, it was like knocking on the hearts of the soldiers defending the city, and it was tossed for a whole day, and the soldiers guarding the city had dark circles under their eyes.
