Whether it was Zhu Wei's vanguard Ling Cao and Xing Daorong, they entered the territory of Yicheng first and chose a suitable place to camp there.

In the future, Pang Yan, Tai Shi Ci's soldiers and horses, and Zhu Wei's main army came to the north bank of the Han River in Yicheng to further construct a land and water camp, but they were not hindered by Liu Biao's army.

Liu Biao only sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter and pay attention to the movements of Zhu Wei's army, but he did not seem to have the intention of going out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Zhu Wei's army on the river valley plain of Yicheng.

It seems that Liu Biao is still jealous of Zhu Wei's so-called 100,000 army, and does not dare to go out of the city to confront Zhu Wei's army head-on, but is only ready to use the advantage of defending the city to offset the gap between the two sides in terms of strength and combat effectiveness.

Between Zhu Wei's temporary land and water camp and Liu Biao's Yicheng is a flat river valley plain, which can be said to be full of fields at this time, but now the wheat grass in the fields is not ripe, and it still looks verdant.

It's a pity that this side is about to become the battlefield of the battle between Zhu Wei and Liu Biao's army, even Zhu Wei can't care about protecting the fields, and only God knows how much of the fields on this side can be kept after the First World War.

As for the common people, scholars, and Haoqiang families who originally cultivated the fields here, they either fled into Yicheng, or scattered and fled to the surrounding mountains to escape the scourge of war.

No one dared to remain in the battlefield of confrontation between the two armies.

On May 16, 197 A.D., Zhu Weishuai's Xionglu Battalion, Shenjian Battalion, and the Central Military Battalion, plus logistics auxiliaries, totaled more than 45,000 troops, and finally came out of the water and land camps, crossed the temporary pontoon bridge erected on the Han River, and prepared to launch the first siege battle against Yicheng.

Zhu Wei's army slowly marched to Yicheng, about three miles away, and then set up a siege formation.

Tens of thousands of troops spread out here, but they looked orderly piece by piece, and at the front of the military array were spear and tiger carts erected side by side, and the tall spear and spear cart walls also constituted a temporary barrier, which could prevent Liu Biao's army from raiding out of the city at this moment.

The various units of Zhu Wei's army behind the tiger car are also waving flags, and different blocks are separated by flags of different colors, and then in the fluttering of colorful flags, they spread around, so that people can't see the edge at a glance.

You can vaguely see the central area of Zhu Wei's army, there are several large vehicles forming a command platform, on which several military order drums are erected, and the surrounding is also surrounded by general flags and order flags, and it seems that Zhu Wei can be seen sitting on the high platform, commanding the entire army.

This scene inevitably touched the defenders above Yicheng slightly.

With the movement of Zhu Wei's army, there was also dust fluttering on the ground, and in the rolling yellow dust from a distance, a spear and tiger cart slowly pushed over in the front, like a mobile walled city was gradually coming to the city wall guarded by the defenders of Yicheng.

In addition, there are a large number of soldiers waving flags in the military formation, and with the surrounding dust and fog, it looks a little scary like a heavenly soldier and a god general.

Under the oppression of such a huge Zhu Wei army array, Yicheng stood on the river valley plain, like a lonely and dangerous city, which could be swallowed up by Zhu Wei's army at any time.

Of course, this Yicheng city had already strengthened the city wall when Liu Qi was stationed, and the moat water was also dug outside.

The rammed earth city wall of Yicheng is also six or seven stories high, the width is almost fifty steps, and there are only two city gates in the county seat, which has basically been built into a military fortress-like city.

In fact, in the eyes of the soldiers of Zhu Wei's army, this is still an obstacle like a hill, and they need to throw their blood to overcome it desperately.

At this time, there were nearly 5,000 Liu Biao's elite soldiers guarding the city wall of Yicheng, and in the main street of Yicheng behind the city wall and the barracks near the city wall, the other 20,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 young men were also waiting for the day, accepting military orders at any time to make up for the loss on the city wall.

On the east city gate tower facing the Zhu Weijun array, Liu Biao was already sitting on the main seat of the sword pavilion hall of the gatehouse with his whole body in armor.

In front of Liu Biao stood Liu Qi and Deng Yi, two military generals who were also dressed in armor, as well as Kuai Yue, the strategist brought by Liu Biao this time, and some other subordinate civil and military forces around Liu Biao.

Speaking of which, this Liu Biao also has a bit of Confucianism, so he doesn't look down on fierce generals and brave generals in his eyes, so there are no fierce generals and brave generals who can take out their hands by his side at this time.

What Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Gan Ning have all gone to Zhu Wei's hands, and the only thing that can still be done is Wenpin, but Wenpin is still on the side of Nanyang County.

However, Liu Biao still looked at the vast multi-person naval array paved by Zhu Wei's 45,000 army from afar, and said some words to Kuai Yue from time to time, as if he was also commenting on the performance of Zhu Wei's army formation.

Not long after, as Zhu Wei's army stood firm, a fierce general on Zhu Wei's side who was holding a mountain axe did not ride a horse, but just strode forward with two curved swords and shields to Yicheng, and raised his head to the city wall and shouted to invite battle.

This fierce general is Xing Daorong, the head of the five brave generals in Jingnan, and with his seventy-eight strength, he can be regarded as one of the best types of second-rate generals, and it is basically enough for Liu Xian to face these subordinate generals.

"Well, a certain Lingling Xing Daorong, there are people in the city who dare to come out to fight! The lord of my family said, Liu Biao is just a person who talks about empty talk, it is not worth mentioning, but now Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family in vain, but he is allied with the traitor Yuan Shu, which is really unforgivable, but the lord of my family Nian You are also a descendant of the Han family, as long as you surrender the city, you can naturally send you to Xu Du to meet Your Majesty to discuss the crime, everything is dealt with by the Son of Heaven, if not, break the city, it is necessary to take your head! ”

Xing Daorong is actually from a humble family with a bit of barbarian blood in the mountains, so he is two meters tall, and his figure is also burly like a little giant, with a beard on his face and eyes like copper bells, standing with Pang Yan, almost a little fierce.

His natural strength is also a few points greater than that of ordinary people, he used to be a local ranger in Lingling County, and was later recommended to Lingling County's Taishou Liu Du, and became a general under Liu Du who was responsible for military training.

Now under Zhu Wei's account, Xing Daorong was assigned to Pang Yan's Xionglu camp, at first he boasted that he was not convinced by force, but he naturally could not be compared with Pang Yan, who had more than 100 forces, but as a result, he really saw Pang Yan's martial arts, and Xing Daorong was a little convinced of Pang Yan.

By the way, his loyalty to Zhu Wei has also increased a few points, and now his loyalty has reached 85, which can be regarded as wholeheartedly preparing to work for Zhu Wei.

As a military general with an intelligence of only 30, he is also a fierce general who doesn't have many ideas, anyway, he obeys orders and fights hard.

At this moment, he was holding a big axe to open the mountain, shouting loudly at the city wall, and his voice was enough for Liu Biao to hear clearly......
