Sun Ben's stubbornness made Tai Shici very helpless. The generals can't be defeated, the soldiers can't be defeated, there is no advantage in defending the city, and this matter does not consider retreating, so it is necessary to defend it to the death.

You must know that to defend the city, you need to have high walls, plenty of food, and abundant materials.

But now there is some grain in Nanchang City, but Nanchang is located in Jiangdong, the terrain is humid, and the city wall is not as high as in the north, so it is not a tall city wall. Moreover, the soldiers in the city are not strong, plus the soldiers in Tai Shici's hands, there are only more than 3,000 people, six or seven thousand fewer than Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's soldiers and horses are three or four times that of Nanchang City, and the soldiers are excellent, and they can build siege equipment, and there is always a way to break through Nanchang. Tai Shici has fought a lot of battles, but he has never seen such an elite soldier as Zhang Yijun, and he has always had a premonition that he is ill.

However, Sun Ben was unwilling to withdraw to Danyang County, and Tai Shici had no choice. After all, Sun Ben is Yuzhang's Taishou and has the responsibility to defend the land, and he is only Sun Ben's subordinate, so he can only obey Sun Ben's orders.

What Tai Shici can do now is to train the army, and then reserve supplies, so as to be able to defend Zhang Yi's retreat.

Zhang Yi captured more than 700 Tai Shi Ci outside the city, and did not attack the city again, so he ordered the army to retreat. The battlefield was cleaned, the wounded were carried back to the camp, and the bodies were buried to avoid the plague.

The medical craftsmen in the army began to get busy, treating the seriously wounded soldiers, and those who were slightly injured had to clean their wounds and then apply medicine and bandage.

Fortunately, when Zhang Yi trained them, he also taught them some simple wound treatment, and they could deal with minor injuries by themselves.

Zhang Yi asked people to push the remaining ladders back, and they were able to make one less piece. Sun Ben and Tai Shici are going to defend to the death, and Zhang Yi is not in a hurry to attack, but first ordered people to besiege the city on all sides, and then build engineering equipment, this time not only to build a ladder, but also to build a rushing car and a stone throwing machine.

The technical content of the stone throwing machine is not high, and there was a stone throwing machine in the Zhou Dynasty. A shelf, tied with a long beam, the front part is short, and a box full of stones is tied to it, and the back part is long, there is a basket with stones, and a rope, use the rope to pull the long head down, put a small stone, about ten catties, and then put the rope, and the stone is thrown out.

Of course, the power is actually not very large, at least it is far worse than the upgraded version of the catapult. But the role of the trebuchet is not how many enemies to kill, but to deter the enemy, how many people can withstand the blow of the trebuchet? As long as a few are stoned to death, the morale of the enemy will quickly dissipate.

Zhang Yi had people like Li Jing who were good at arranging troops, and the camp was seamless, and Sun Ben and Tai Shici couldn't find an opportunity to attack at night, so they could only stay in the city.

Ten days later, Sun Simiao finally arrived from Shouchun to examine Wei Wentong's wounds. Wei Wentong's injury was not serious, after all, he had armor on his body, and the arrow shot through the armor, only shooting more than an inch into it.

However, Zhang Yi is not at ease, the arrow wound can be four people.

Under Sun Simiao's treatment, Wei Wentong quickly recovered. Zhang Yi expressed his gratitude to Sun Simiao, but Sun Simiao waved his hand and said: "General Wei is very important to the lord, I know it, but the lord also has to take care of some other soldiers, let me go to the wounded camp to treat their injuries!" ”

Zhang Yi immediately let him go and let Sun Simiao go to the wounded barracks. Many people in the wounded barracks have infected wounds, and if they do not receive good treatment, they will definitely be in danger of dying.

Some wounded soldiers had to see off their hands and feet to prevent death because of the inflammation of their wounds, and Sun Simiao should have been able to help a lot in the past.

Although Sun Simiao is the king of medicine, he can't ensure that the wound inflammation can be cured one by one, after all, he is not a military doctor, and he is not good at treating wounds, so he can only rely on his years of medical experience and the principle of wound inflammation that Zhang Yi said to him.

The siege equipment is still being built, and there is good news from Lei Xu's side, he has captured Poyang County and Yuhan County, and is stationed in Poyang County, waiting for Zhang Yi's next order.

Zhang Yi asked Lei Xu to hand over the two counties to Fu Youde to defend, and then marched west to capture Haihuang County. Haihuang County is the richest place in Yuzhang County, and Liu Xundu, who is in Lujiang, is greedy for wealth, and he listens to Sun Ce's instigation and comes to attack Shangluan of Haihuang (part of Haihuang County). However, at that time, the wealthy family of Shangyan was reminded by Sun Ce, and they had already withdrawn from Shangyan with their wealth and money, and then moved to Danyang County to live.

Liu Xun pounced, and Lujiang County was attacked by Sun Ce again, and he had to go to Xuchang to be a duke.

Although the Hao clan in Shanglu is gone, Haihuang County is still a relatively wealthy county, and it is also the last county in the north of Yuzhang to have a heavy army, there should be a lot of grain and grass there, as long as he can occupy Haihuang County and obtain grain and grass, Zhang Yi can continue to besiege Nanchang, without having to work hard to transport grain from the waterway.

Zhang Yi handed over the two counties of Poyang and Yuhan to Fu Youde, so that Fu Youde's display was stretched for hundreds of miles, but there was no way, Zhang Yi's subordinates were still few. Originally, it was planned to capture Lujiang County and Yuzhang County, and talents could be recruited. But what Zhang Yi didn't expect was that he got Wang Xiang in Lujiang, a person who was more able to take charge of himself, and there was no one in Yuzhang County.

Speaking of this Yuzhang County, it is also strange, it seems that there has been no talent in the entire Three Kingdoms period, you can think about it carefully, there is that person from Yuzhang County? There are many people who have served as Yuzhang Taishou, but all of them are from other places, such as Zhuge Xuan is from Langya, and Huaxin is from the plains.

Zhang Yi is very depressed! The territory has increased, and the talents are still there, which makes Zhang Yi very depressed, and he now wants to find a few people who have left a name in history to kill them and summon a few helpers.

But all of a sudden, how can there be so many historical celebrities? There are three in the city, Tai Shici, Sun Ben, and one Hua Xin who is trapped in the city. After Hua Xin surrendered to Sun Ben, he was left in the city by Sun Ben in case he did anything.

Lei Xu quickly defeated Haiyang County, although the soldiers under Lei Xu had not yet been trained by Zhang Yi, and those who studied among Zhang Yi's own soldiers had not yet returned. But the combat effectiveness of the Lei Xu Department is still very strong, after all, they are all relatives and united.

With less than a thousand defenders in Haiyang County, and no generals to lead them, Lei Xu besieged the city for ten days and attacked the city.

In Haiyang City, there is a large amount of grain, Lei Xu transported the grain to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi's siege equipment has been built, and he began to prepare for the siege. At this time, Zhang Yi had been surrounding Nanchang for a month.
