Ju Yi, you should be prepared for the camp, and you must be careful that Gongsun Chan robs the camp at night.

Promise! After saying this, Zhang Jie retreated in frustration.

The next day, Wei Yan commanded the siege of the city, and in addition to releasing smoke, Wei Yan also had rows of crossbowmen under the city wall to cooperate with the soldiers on the arrow tower to release arrows. When the siege began, the north wind blew the smoke onto the city wall, so that many soldiers defending the city could not open their eyes, and the siege soldiers climbed up more than a dozen to the city wall at once, almost making the soldiers of Gongsun Zan who defended the city think that the city was about to break, but at this time, the guard Zou Dan personally led the team to fight hard. drove more than a dozen Jizhou troops on the city wall down.

It didn't take long for Gongsun Zan to also find that Zhang Jie was focusing on attacking the North Gate, and personally brought 2,000 men and horses to reinforce the North Gate. When the defenders saw that the lord had arrived, their morale also soared, and finally Wei Yan ordered the troops to be withdrawn. After counting the number of people, there were more than 2,000 dead and wounded.

Hearing such heavy casualties, Zhang Jie was really uncomfortable, there were more than 4,000 casualties in just two days, if he attacked for ten days and a half months, he would have died if he didn't capture it.

Zhang Jie said: It can't go on like this, you can't do it like this. Ju Yidao: Our family will attack once at night, without drumming, directly attacking the city, today just after the big battle, Gongsun Chan should not have thought that we would attack at night, maybe people hit him by surprise. Zhang Jie thought about it and didn't have a good way, so he had to try.

That night, thousands of besieging soldiers quietly made their way under the city walls, when one of the soldiers accidentally fell. Someone on the city wall noticed the sound and shouted: Who?

No one made a sound, but this shout made some soldiers light torches and look down the city, only to see that under the city wall were all Jizhou siege officers and soldiers. The soldier shouted that someone was attacking the city, and at this time, Wei Yan shot the soldier with a torch, but it was still exposed. The Gongsun army defending the city screamed like ghosts, the enemy army came, the enemy army came, and then someone beat the drum.

Gongsun Zan heard the sound of drums and immediately ordered Yan Gang to come over to defend the city in person, Wei Yan ordered to go up the city wall, but the defenders were also prepared, after a while, there were more and more defenders of the city, and then the attack was meaningless, and nearly 200 people died and retreated.

Gongsun Chan was also taken aback when he heard Zhang Jie's sneak attack at night, but with this lesson, Gongsun Chan paid more attention to guarding at night.

Zhang Jie listened to the unsuccessful night attack in the big tent and nearly 200 people died, and also regretted it a little, and said: All sieges have stopped, and there will be no attack tomorrow, let me think of a way.

After everyone retreated, Zhang Jie never fell asleep, and kept thinking of how to attack the city, but he didn't come up with a way.

The city was not attacked for three days, and Zhang He also returned, leaving a few thousand people to guard some of the county towns that had been occupied, and came back with about 10,000 people to attack the city together. Zhang Hedao: Why don't we attack Youbeiping like last time? Just send a small number of soldiers and horses to guard Jixian County?

Frustrated and opposed: No, Gongsun Zan withdrew Yuyang's soldiers and horses to Youbeiping to prevent us from going to Youbeiping, and now Youbeiping's troops are not much worse than Jixian. Moreover, Youbeiping is Gongsun Zhan's lair, let's attack his lair, and the defenders will desperately defend the city. Our grain road is far away, and if we go less, we can't attack. If we go too much, Gongsun Zhan of Jixian County will definitely go out of the city to cut off our grain route. At that time, it will really be impossible to attack and attack, and it will only be more difficult to retreat and fear that the back road will be cut off. Don't forget that Gongsun Chan has tens of thousands of cavalry, and the cavalry cuts off the grain road, and the infantry can't catch up.

Hao Zhaodao: Why don't we dig tunnels? Digging more tunnels, although slower, is much less casualty than assaulting.

Zhang Hedao: Gongsun Chan is also a veteran of the battlefield, but I am afraid that he has already prepared a big water tank under the inner wall of the city. As soon as they dig a tunnel like this, they can hear it, and if they don't do it, they will dig pits, release water, and release poisonous smoke, which is difficult!

Zhang Jie suddenly felt that the inspiration came, and said: Yes, dig the ground, but not the tunnel, let's dig the foot of the wall under the east city wall, because the east city wall foundation should be sandy soil, it is easier to dig, let's take turns to send troops, dig a hundred steps wide road, and hollow out all the foundations of the city wall, and then in order to let him suddenly fall down, let's dig out a place every time, use a big wooden stake to hold up, don't let him collapse, and when the digging is long enough, tie the wooden stake with a rope. Then pull it together with a war horse, and there is a bang. When the stakes are pulled down, and the walls are all empty, is there any reason why they should not fall? How's it going, guys?

Zhang Jie said: No, he can't guess that we are digging the foundation, he can only make him think that we are digging the tunnel: Then in order to prevent us from entering the inner city from the tunnel, he will also dig a trench under the inner city wall. Beware of us, if both sides are dug in this way, the walls will fall faster. Hahaha!

The generals also swept away the previous depression. All of them: the master's clever plan.

Zhang Jie said again: In order to achieve this goal, first of all, Wen Chang, you still have to feint and attack the other three city walls every day, pretending to be the same as before. Ju Yi, you have to strengthen the attack of the bow and crossbow under the city wall and on the arrow tower, Zilong, your cavalry must patrol the four gates, and you can't let Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses go out of the city, Zhang He, you should immediately send more people to cut wood, the more the better, this time, the trees must be used more, and the tunnel must be blocked with wooden stakes to prevent collapse. Also pay attention to waterproofing.

Zilong, your cavalry should not walk above the tunnel, lest the war horse trample on the tunnel, let's be careful, Hao Zhao is responsible for digging the tunnel, Xia Zhong, you also go to help Hao Zhao, let's try to use the fastest time to dig the city wall, I want to see how his Gongsun Zan can stop our army if there is no city wall. Also, you should pay attention to secrecy, and when you assign tasks, don't talk about digging tunnels, let alone digging city walls. Just the soldier does it, don't ask why? Do you understand? Everyone said, "No!

The next day, Zhang He personally led the troops to cut wood, and Zhang Jie's soldiers and horses were resting, the war had been going on for several days, and he had a few days of rest, and he could only start work when Zhang He's timber arrived, and the most afraid of digging tunnels was permeability and landslides. In the north, the groundwater is generally deep, and the groundwater cannot be dug in the tunnel, mainly because of the fear of collapse, so the wooden stakes can only be used to lift the planks.

When the Jizhou army stopped attacking the city, the soldiers defending the city finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the undercurrents began to surge in the city. Qi Zhou, the former general of Liu Yu's department, began to find a few henchmen to discuss what to do.

Qi Zhoudao: It really makes no sense for us to help Gongsun Chan beat Zhang Jie, the old lord was killed by Sun Zhan, and he has always wanted to take revenge but has never had a chance, and now Zhang Jie has come to help us take revenge, but we are helping Gongsun Zhan, Lao Tzu doesn't want to fight.

Wei You, who is also the original Liu Yu's person, but he was a little afraid of death before he surrendered Gongsun Zhan, Wei You said: Gongsun Chan asked his cronies to guard the city gate, not letting us go, only let us go to the city wall, but if we retreat on the city wall, we will be shot by the supervision team, so what can we do?

If we have a temporary backlash, what will our families do? It's better for a soldier to have no family, but we do.
