This Chen Ji can be regarded as the first military general to die on the battlefield since Zhu Wei started his army, and it can be regarded as breaking the record in Zhu Wei's army.

However, this also indicates that the battle in Puyang City will not end so easily, even if Zhu Weijun can easily kill the city wall, but he will still encounter the stubborn counterattack of Cao's army.

At present, such Cao Jun's countermeasures are really difficult to resolve.

As long as the Cao army blocks the attack of the Zhu Weijun on both sides, the city wall captured by the Zhu Weijun can be completely turned into a place of death, so how many lives does the Zhu Weijun have to fill in before it is possible to kill in the city.

In this way, Zhu Weijun's siege methods of piling up earth seem to be meaningless.

However, Huang Zhong finally retreated safely, but when he returned to the city wall, the first batch of siege soldiers he brought with him had only more than 2,000 left, which could be regarded as a loss of nearly half.

In this regard, Zhu Weijun could only temporarily stop the siege and send Chen Ji's body down for placement first, and then Zhu Wei also gathered his civil and military subordinates to discuss how to attack the city.

At the command platform of the Chinese army of Zhu Wei's army, many people sat in front of Zhu Wei.

At this time, there were also many civil and military subordinates here, in addition to Jia Xu and Liu Ye in the Zhu Weizhong military camp, the young Sun Quan, Lu Su in the Huainan camp, Xu Shu in the Shenjian camp, and Huang Quan in the Dongzhou army, were also wise and resourceful.

Of course, Zhu Wei only recruited a few commanders on the side of the generals, such as Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Zhang Ren, Zang Ba and others, as for the other generals, they still have to stay in the armies and lead the armies in a timely manner.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now it seems that Cao Cao has also made countermeasures in the city, if he wants to break through Puyang like this, but he doesn't know what to do?"

Zhu Wei's gaze swept over everyone here, and now Zhu Wei sent the army from Hanzhong to Juancheng to attack Dong Heng's department sent by Cao Cao over there, so it is these armies that are attacking Puyang City now.

"Lord, it is indeed difficult to break through in the front, then the Cao army is blocked on the city wall, and our army is a dead end when it goes up to the city wall, or it can be besieged from all sides to disperse the Cao army's forces, or it can be obtained in other ways!"

Huang Zhong can be regarded as having personally endured the defensive tactics of the Cao army, so at this moment he put the helmet in his hand and said with a bloody sweat.

Fang Cai's experience made Huang Zhong also feel a little afraid, the rock that smashed on the city wall was really not something that human power could compete with, even when he passed through the rockfall area, he also had a feeling of escaping death.

However, Huang Zhong was a great general after all, so he quickly thought of tactics that could be used.

Now Zhu Weijun has paved a soil slope on the east wall of Puyang City and can go directly to the wall, so Cao Cao also mainly put the defensive means on this side, so if Zhu Weijun re-launched a siege on the four gates of Puyang City, maybe after Cao Cao dispersed his forces, Zhu Weijun would be able to find an opportunity to break through.

It's just that in this way, the mound that Zhu Wei spent all this time laying out seems to be only a chicken rib attack point, and the entire siege tactics have returned to the ant-attached tactics of forcibly filling with human lives.

Listening to Huang Zhong's words, Zhu Wei frowned, Zhu Wei chose to use this time-consuming siege tactic of piling up the city before, because he didn't want to consume too many troops on the side of Puyang City.

To tell the truth, after Zhu Wei was ready to take Puyang City easily, he took advantage of the situation to launch a war against Yuan Shao in the north, so that with the morale of a big victory, he might be able to calm the world in one go.

But now, if he wants to storm Puyang City, how many lives will it cost Zhu Wei's more than 100,000 troops to successfully capture it.

After all, there are 70,000 or 80,000 Cao troops in Puyang City, even if many of them are Cao Jun's second- and third-line troops, even if many of them are recruited recruits, but after all, there are so many troops.

What's more, Cao Cao is defending the city, and Zhu Wei is besieging the city, so that the ratio of injuries to losses on both sides is at least one to three and one to four ratios, Zhu Wei doesn't want tens of thousands of people to die on his side after the hundreds of thousands of troops capture Puyang City.

With a tired army, how can he launch a campaign against Yuan Shao.

"Lord, General Huang's words also have some truth, but our army doesn't need to attack everywhere, just use the sound to attack the east and the west, and find a direction to attack, now most of the Cao army is attracted by our army on the side of Dongcheng, if it is a sneak attack elsewhere, but there is also a chance!"

Lu Su, now as Huang Zhong's partner, listened to Huang Zhong's words, and looked at Zhu Wei's expression, and knew that Zhu Wei was still unwilling to attack Puyang City, so he offered such a tactic.

After all, there is a mound ramp in the east of Puyang City that can directly attack the city wall, which is naturally a defensive direction that Cao Cao attaches great importance to.

But if Zhu Weijun gave up this side as the main direction of attack, and instead took advantage of the situation to attack several other gates of Puyang City, so as to take advantage of the opportunity that Cao Cao could not fully take into account and find a direction to break through, then it would be a matter of time before Puyang City was broken.

"Sound from east to west? It's just that Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, how can he not know how to take precautions, if he fails to strike a blow, it will make Cao Cao feel guarded! ”

Zhu Wei listened to Lu Su's words, but he was also moved, but he quickly thought of Cao Cao's intelligence level, how could he not be on guard against this aspect, so it would be another attack battle later.

Besides, now Cao Cao has enough troops in Puyang City to garrison the four cities, and there are enough generals to sit around, even if Cao Cao personally sits on the side of Dongcheng, but the other three gates may not be able to easily sneak attack.

"Yes, Cao Cao now has plenty of troops in his hands, such a strategy may not be useful!"

Xu Shu, who has a long history on the side of the Divine Arrow Battalion, also shook his head, obviously feeling that Lu Su's strategy of attacking the east and the west would not be effective, and then he said, "Now, what our army is worried about is that after our army attacks the city wall, the Cao army will cover the place where our army can take it with falling stones and feather arrows, but before our army goes to the city wall, the Cao army does not dare to go up to the city wall to block it, so can our army go to the city with a small force of troops to attract the Cao army ......"

Xu Shu seemed to have an idea, but when he said this, he shook his head hesitantly, obviously this still couldn't solve the problem, so he could only shake his head and say, "This ......, Shu, I can't think of a suitable way for a while, even if a small army goes to the city, I'm afraid it won't be able to change the situation!" ”

Seeing that Lu Su and Xu Shu couldn't come up with any good ideas, Zhu Wei could only turn his head to look at Jia Xu again, and now only Jia Xu is the person with the highest intelligence here, if Jia Xu can't think of a way for a while, then there is really no way.

Jia Xu seemed to be thinking about various possibilities, caressing his short beard at this moment, his eyes looked in the direction of the east city of Puyang City, and suddenly said, "My lord, then is there a way for our army to slow down the damage of falling rocks?" Now, if you can defuse this threat of throwing rocks, in fact, there is no problem now! ”

Obviously, the direction of Jia Xu's thinking is to get to the heart of the problem, and now it is because Cao Jun's stone-throwing cart is constructed in the city, and the rocks thrown at the city wall are too terrifying, so Zhu Weijun's earth-heaping siege methods have been hindered.

But if the threat of falling rocks can be resolved, then Zhu Weijun can still use the mound ramp to easily enter Puyang City......
