Chapter 816: Stalemate

Ju Yi finally couldn't hold it anymore and began to attack.

Yuan Shao's pressure was a factor, and at the same time, he also knew that if there was a change in Jizhou, the military spirit on his side would be dispersed all of a sudden, and it would be even more dangerous at that time.

So at this time, whether it is Yuan Shao's side or his side, the battle must be ended as soon as possible.

Although Yuan Shao had an army of 200,000, after his battle line was extended, he needed to send more troops to protect the grain route, and at this time he was only able to put about 100,000 into the attack.

Cao Cao's resistance was very tenacious, which made Yuan Shao quite annoyed.

Cao Cao's chief military advisor was also sent back to Jizhou to preside over the overall situation under complicated circumstances.

In this case, as an important general of Yuan Shao, he had to obey the overall situation, so Ju Yi chose to attack.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses put on a posture, and Ju Yi sent generals to start fighting.

But no matter how they shouted, the city was silent, and there was no movement.

The soldiers stood solemnly on the top of the city, not squinting, as if they were carved in wood.

This invisible pressure made Ju Yi very uncomfortable.

The other party didn't say a word, no matter how the city shouted, no one answered, and no one made other sounds.

Ye Chen happened to go to the city to inspect this day.

"Interesting."

Ye Chen stood at the head of the city, watching the enemies below fight.

Ju Yi also happened to be observing in front of him.

Ye Chen saw Ju Yi, and Ju Yi also saw Ye Chen.

Smiling at Ju Yi, Ye Chen even raised his hand and waved.

Ju Yi stared at Ye Chen, and the two sides were fighting wordlessly.

Ye Chen's relaxation and comfort seemed to be untense about this battle, and he could smile easily in the face of the enemy's tens of thousands of troops.

Ju Yi wasn't sure if Ye Chen was pretending or if Ye Chen was really sure, but he knew very well that this battle was not easy to fight.

If the battle fails, it can only be attacked.

Another day passed, and Ju Yi decisively ordered an attack.

Storming vehicles, ladders, the most basic siege equipment, Ju Yi has built a lot.

Ju Yi came to the city again.

"How long will it take for this moat to be filled?" Ju Yi asked.

One of his generals immediately replied: "It must be filled in two days, after all, we have prepared very well, but the archers at the head of the city are too sharp, especially the arrow towers, and we have lost more than eight hundred men before." ”

Ju Yi frowned, this has not started a full-scale attack before the loss is so big, or fill in the moat.

To fill the moat, it is necessary to lose 2,000 men, and the other side is on the head of the city, and the loss is only arrows.

Ju Yi was very breathless, a moat was about to fill in so many people.

But there is no way, this loss must be suffered.

Ju Yi asked his generals to deal with it carefully and avoid excessive losses.

Despite their caution, two days later, when the moat was filled, they still lost more than 2,000 men.

The moat is filled, which means that the next bloody battle will be.

Ju Yi once again patrolled the city, trying to find the flaws.

I have to say that this city is too strong and very difficult to fight.

After a day, it was not until night that Ju Yi returned to the big tent.

After returning, Ju Yi summoned several of his generals.

"Either you don't fight, or you have to fight it all at once, and a slight stop may lead to the loss of your previous efforts, so what follows is a tough battle, a hard battle that is destined to kill you." Ju Yi said to his subordinates solemnly.

Several generals were shocked, knowing that what Ju Yi said was not empty words, and they also felt the difficulty of this fortified city in the past few days.

"But the victory is still on our side, we currently have more than 70,000 people, nearly 80,000 people, and the enemy has less than 40,000 people, and some of them are not able to fight."

Ju Yi began to encourage his subordinates, and he must not let them lose confidence.

Then Ju Yi began to assign tasks.

"General Li led 20,000 men to attack the West Gate, I personally led an army of 30,000 to attack the East Gate, and the remaining two gates made a feint.

"Pass the order, the first to go to the head of the city, from soldiers to generals, will be promoted to three levels or rewarded with a hundred catties of gold."

Ju Yi's encouragement made his subordinates start to get excited.

When soldiers ascend to the top of the city, generals can also be promoted and rewarded, how can they not do their best to urge their men to attack.

Ju Yi led a large army to attack, and the attack was very fierce, but Ju Yi also knew that it could be a protracted battle, so he controlled the casualties.

Three days later, the battlefield was still fierce, and by this time Ju Yifang had already lost more than 7,000 casualties, which was the result of his efforts to control the casualties.

He had no way of knowing Ye Chen's losses, but they hadn't captured the city in their three-day onslaught, which showed that Youzhou's losses were limited.

In fact, it is true, Ye Chen and they did not have much to lose.

Xu Huang sent the most elite soldiers when he was defending, and there was no need for them to hide at this time.

Those arrow towers on the city caused great losses to the besieging team, and the arrow towers were densely packed with archers, high and low, without any care, Juyi's archers could not reach them at all.

Casualties are mounting, and most importantly the siege is not making much progress.

"Hehe, lord, these boys are just a few times, they used a few methods, and I easily cracked them, so that they don't want to break the city for a year." Xu Huang said confidently.

Ye Chen smiled, he would come to the city every day to see for a long time to understand the situation.

Although the defense can be defended for a year, it is impossible for Ye Chen to really fight with the enemy for a long time like this, he still has to develop.

Yuan Shao's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and he doesn't have much room for expansion in Youzhou now, so he can only dig deep into his own potential and develop Youzhou as a whole.

"Well done, kill them for a few more days, and when they lose their morale, it's time for us to counterattack."

Ye Chen had thought about how to counterattack before the battle began, and luring Ju Yi to Dai County was just to consume him.

Otherwise, if the army of 100,000 fights hard, the loss is too great and it is not worth it.

Ye Chen walked around the city and found that there was not much change, so he went down to the city.

Under the city, all the cavalry have been resting for a long time, their combat strength has been restored, and at the same time, Ye Chen's personal guard battalion has also been replenished, and the entire city is conducting run-in training.

Ju Yi knew that he couldn't give up when he started attacking, and once he gave up, his morale would be lost.

The offensive continued for several more days without progress, except for increasing the number of casualties on both sides.

Another day of battle, the two sides have been fighting for seven days, and Juyi's soldiers have also killed more than 15,000 people, which can be said to have moved their bones.

"Ye Chen really made a turtle shell, but no matter how hard the turtle shell is, it must be broken for me." Ju Yi returned to the big tent and said secretly.

At this time, Ye Chen appeared at the head of the city, looking at the enemy in the distance, Ye Chen said softly: "When my reinforcements arrive, it will be the time when you are destroyed." ”

Yes, Ye Chen had already arranged reinforcements before the battle, and at this time all the layouts had been realized, and the difference was the last link.
