Who can open the city gates, let our army into the city, and reward the general.

If they did not surrender, the soldiers laid down their arms and were spared death, but after the city was broken, all officials were executed.

If this continues, everyone in the city will be in danger. Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death will definitely find a way to open the city and surrender.

Even if no one surrenders, Yuan Shao has always been suspicious, and he will feel that the people around him are unreliable!

Well, Zhong Da is reasonable, you can do this, remember more letters, and strive to let everyone in the city know. Zhang Jie said.

Subordinates understand. That's it. Sima Yi said.

That night, Sima Yi had thousands of letters shot into the city. For a while, the people in the city were panicked, and Zhang Jieyan only blamed Yuan Shao alone. The rest is not investigated. If you don't surrender, not a single official in the city will be left after the city is broken.

Many petty officials and officials began to retreat. No one wants to die with Yuan Shao.

And Yuan Shao naturally received the letter. He was also anxious in his heart, he knew that this was Zhang Jie playing psychological tactics to promote the surrender of everyone in the city.

A few days later, the tragic siege battle was about to begin, and Zhang Jie knew that it would be another bloody battle, and there would be heavy casualties.

In the tent, although everyone was full of confidence in the siege, they also knew that this kind of siege battle was the most tragic.

Zhang Jiedao: Now that Yuan Shao is in the city, Cao Cao has also used these tricks of digging tunnels, so there is no need for us to try again. It is impossible for Yuan Shao not to be guarded.

So it can only be stormed.

The congregation will obey the order!

Bo Dao! You lead men to attack the south gate.

Promise!

Far! You will lead men against Simon.

Promise!

Juyi! You lead the attack on the east gate.

Promise!

Pull the move, and your men and horses will be in reserve for the time being. Always ready to strike.

Promise!

Everyone, let's only attack three gates, leave the north gate to Yuan Shao, and let him escape!

Zilong, you take 3,000 light cavalry to wait five miles outside the north gate. If Yuan Shao escapes from the north gate, you will chase and kill me!

Promise!

You can go later though. I don't think Yuan Shao will run away for the time being, but you have to be prepared at all times.

Promise!

Well, ladies and gentlemen, this siege is under the command of Ju Yi. Please cooperate well. Strive to take Tancheng as soon as possible and capture Yuan Shao alive. Let's go down and prepare!

Promise!

After everyone left, Tian Feng said: How did the lord give the command to Ju Yi?

Yuan Hao, the siege battle is cruel and miserable, the casualties must be very large, Jie is sometimes not hard enough, Ju Yi is experienced, and he is stronger than Jie in command.

Tian Feng nodded in approval!

Tong! Tong! Tong! With the rapid beat of the drums, it rose upward. Rows of soldiers pushing huge trebuchets approached the city walls!

More than a dozen trebuchets under one city wall hit the "stone bullets" on the city wall. Once a "stone bullet" of dozens of catties hits, it will be a flowering head and a bleeding head.

Some of the "stone bullets" turned into broken steps and stones wrapped in fire oil. Hitting the walls in this way will cause fire and smoke. Cover the siege troops.

The soldiers on the walls could only dodge. Then, rows of crossbowmen fired arrows into the city. Then more than a dozen wells were launched. Above the well, several archers fired arrows at the walls.

And the archers on the walls also began to return fire.

When trebuchets, bows and arrows, shoot half an hour after the morning.

The besieging soldiers under the city carried a series of ladders up the city wall and began to climb up.

When a soldier was about to climb the wall, the defenders above shouted. Pour fire oil, thunderwood rolling stones.

One thunderwood is to smash several.

In Tancheng, the billowing smoke rising from the raging flames of war filled the entire city. On the city wall, the 'Yuan' character banner that hunted in the wind was already tattered and ragged, and it seemed that it would fall in an instant. Under the city wall, there were dead bodies lying on the ground, blood flowing, but no one came forward, and the thick smell of blood and sweat was mixed with each other, filling the air, pungent and unpleasant.

Ju Yi, a ruthless man, finally ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the siege of the first day was over. Nearly three thousand people died.

Zhang Jie didn't say anything, the ancient siege was a meat grinder. It's the same for whoever goes to command. Soft-hearted people just can't accept it.

That night, Ju Yi launched another siege, but unfortunately Yuan Jun was defeated.

The siege of the city for several days in a row also made the defenders tired. There was an undercurrent surging in the city, and many petty officials were afraid that Zhang Jie would slaughter them after the city was broken. Some were ready to surrender in Kaesong. But Yuan Shao blocked all the city gates. They secretly can't open it. can only accompany Yuan Shao to die together!

The war is still going on. The loud screams and screams are touching. The sturdy figures of the soldiers of Jizhou under the city rose and fell like waves, and their mouths let out a shout that shook the heavens and the earth. Climb up the ladder. This kind of shouting, infecting each other, motivating each other, and dissipating many inexplicable fears in my heart. Arrows flew wildly in the air, thunderwood rolled stones, smashed one to death, and another came up.

The rain of arrows that dragged on with a long sound cut through the clear sky like locusts crossing the border, and I saw soldiers falling to the ground with arrows one after another. As soon as a Jizhou soldier boarded the city wall, he was immediately greeted by several Yuan soldiers with swords, and he was outnumbered.

The terrible screams, the frenzied killings, and the blazing beacon fire made the soldiers of the two armies angry, and the war became more and more fierce. But the city is crumbling. Every time, I almost took it in one breath.

This siege battle of Tancheng was the first real siege battle since Zhang Jie's war. In the past, most of them were speculative, and many of them used tactics to defeat the enemy. Attacking Zhang Jie like this has never done this before. Even if there is, it will be over after one attack.

After Zhang Jie's army retreated, the remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured on the city tower.

Yuan Shao looked at these soldiers defending the city, all of them looked listless, and many people looked confused. The battle to the death just now was just an instinct. He knew that Tancheng couldn't be saved.

But Yuan Shao can't be returned. He knew that if Tancheng was gone, Xuzhou would be lost. Qingzhou is full of recruits. The veterans are basically here. Where else could he go? Cao Cao can go to Hanzhong, but he has nowhere to go? Besides, it is impossible for him to surrender to his reputation as the fourth and third dukes.

The lord, the last general is incompetent, and he can take it in one breath. Ju Yi said.

Well, Jay doesn't blame you. Go down and rest! Wen Chang has just come back, he has taken down several counties around Tancheng, tomorrow you let his men and horses also assist you!

Promise! At the end of tomorrow, Tancheng will definitely be captured.

Gongyan, how many casualties have there been?

My lord, 10,000 have been killed in battle, and tens of thousands of people have been wounded.

It's almost a third of the casualties!

Why so many?

Lord, this is the way the siege is, I think it will be able to be captured tomorrow. Today, the defending soldiers also have fewer arrows, indicating that they are also short of supplies.

Ay! If I can't take it tomorrow, I think I'll have to find another way. This siege hero really doesn't want to fight. The casualties are too great, and the defenders in this city don't know what's wrong, why is no one willing to open the door and surrender? Could it be that Yuan Shao is so popular?

It shouldn't be! If Yuan Shao's soldiers were so brave and tenacious. The Central Plains had long been Yuan Shao's.

Jiang Wan said: Maybe the soldiers in the city will open the city and surrender tomorrow! The lord should rest first! Take a look at the latest chapters of "Mr. Storyteller of the Three Kingdoms" and read it for free for the first time.
