Just when Li Jian was in a dilemma, Liu Zhizu personally led two other battalions of troops to ambush ten miles away from the south gate of Anyi. According to the planned plan, he only had to wait for Zhang Xianzhong's entire army to rush out of the north gate.

Raid the south gate and capture Anyi in one fell swoop.

However, Liu Zhizu waited and waited for an hour and a half, but did not receive any news that Zhang Xianzhong from Anyi had left the city. The soldiers in the camp were talking a lot. Some people thought that the strategy failed, or that Zhang Xianzhong discovered it?

"Silence" Liu Zhizu noticed the change in the atmosphere in the army and stopped him: "Calm down, Zhang Xianzhong needs to discuss and mobilize the army. These all take time, wait a moment."

The soldiers looked at Liu Zhizu's gloomy face and wisely closed their mouths.

After waiting for another hour, the expected news still hadn't arrived. Now, Liu Zhizuo, who had always been steady, couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But despite this, Liu Zhizu did not have any trouble on the surface, and still looked confident. He knew that if he showed any panic, it would greatly affect the morale of the army, and then the army would not need to fight.

You can go home directly to wash up and sleep.

Liu Zhizu frowned slightly and tapped his fingers unconsciously. It was almost noon and he could wait no longer.

"Have the spies returned? Ask them if Zhang Xianzhong of Anyi has not left the city yet?"

Not long after, the spies came back and reported: "General, Zhang Xianzhong not only did not leave the city, but actually closed the city gates tightly."

"Damn it." Liu Zhizu cursed secretly, but it was useless to curse Zhang Xianzhong to death. Now it was certain that the plan had failed. The lives of so many people depended on Liu Zhizu alone.

If he is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out. He must always maintain absolute rationality to lead the army to the right path.

Liu Zhizu was indeed the person Pei Xiaoer liked. He took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger.

"Go and inform Qin Yuming to stop ambushing him and lead his troops to join me immediately. The others will immediately build siege equipment. In addition, send someone to Li Jian in the north of the city and tell him that since Zhang Xianzhong cannot be lured out, don't waste your efforts.

Let them build siege equipment on the spot and prepare to attack the city at any time according to my orders."

"yes."

By the time Qin Yuming arrived with his army, it was already afternoon.

Seeing Qin Yuming, Liu Zhizu directly pulled him over and said to him: "Li Jian's plan to lure Zhang Xianzhong failed. I have made up my mind to attack Anyi directly. You are ready to follow me to attack Anyi later."

Qin Yuming was shocked when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "General, Zhang Xianzhong's army is in Anyi at the moment. It may be difficult to attack at this time."

"I know, but our army is in a hurry and doesn't have much food and grass. Once it stays outside Anyi for a long time, the changes will be too big. In addition, there are still several big households in the city who are still resisting Zhang Xianzhong. If we delay it any longer,

Even if it is delayed until tomorrow, the big families in the city who resist Zhang Xianzhong will most likely be wiped out by Zhang Xianzhong. By then, if our army attacks Anyi again, the price paid will be ten thousand times greater than now.

On the contrary, if our army attacks Anyi at this time, then the big families in the city will most likely cooperate with us inside and outside. It is not impossible to capture Anyi by then. After much consideration, I decided to attack Anyi now."

Qin Yuming was a little disappointed when he heard that Li Jian did not lure Zhang Xianzhong out of Anyi. Although Qin Yuming had some opinions about Li Jian, this did not prevent him from considering the overall interests of the Pei family army. Seeing that Liu Zhizu had made up his mind,

Naturally, Qin Yuming would not object, so he said: "Everything will be decided by the general."

On the other side, Li Jian saw that he could not trick Zhang Xianzhong out of the city, so he was anxious and walked around the camp. However, he only had so many people, and he did not dare to attack Anyi directly, so he could only do it outside the city.

.

At this moment, the messenger arrived, bringing General Liu Zhizhi with the latest orders, building siege equipment, waiting for orders, and preparing to attack the city at any time.

"What? Are you sure?" Li Jian looked at the messenger in disbelief, asking him to lead these hundreds of people to attack the city? This... this is tantamount to forcing himself to die.

"These are the exact words of General Liu Zhizu, and I also ask General Li to carry out the order." The ordering soldier repeated it expressionlessly.

Hearing the words of the messenger, Li Jianru was struck by lightning and said miserably: "That's it, that's all, my life was given to me by General Pei. Now, dying in battle at Anyi City can be regarded as repaying General Pei. Send my order, everyone

The army built siege equipment and prepared to attack the city."

After saying that, Li Jian raised his head and looked up at the sky. There was a trace of tragedy in his eyes.

Following Li Jian's order, the army began to get busy. All kinds of siege equipment were built, such as siege engines, trebuchets, ladders, etc., good ones, bad ones, no matter what they were.

, have all been built. Although the hope is extremely slim, with more siege equipment, there will always be more hope of survival.

The actions of the Pei Jiajun immediately attracted the attention of Zhang Xianzhong on the top of the city. Zhang Xianzhong stood on the top of the city and looked around, and saw people coming and going in the 'official army' camp in the distance, which was extremely busy.

After observing for a long time, Zhang Xianzhong was already fully confident that the final target of the 'official army' must be Beicheng. He immediately laughed and said: "How dare the official army attack my Anyi with just such a small number of people? It's ridiculous. Ai Nengqi, go,

We will mobilize another thousand brothers to strengthen the defense of Beicheng, and I, Lao Zhang, will order the officers and soldiers to come but not to go back."

The generals under Zhang Xianzhong also felt that the "official army" was really arrogant and looked down upon them. They really needed to teach them a lesson, so they were eager to try and prepare to meet the "official army".

However, Zhang Xianzhong still guessed wrong. Although the "officials and soldiers" in Beicheng were all determined to die, a tragic feeling permeated the entire camp, but they still confused Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong deployed all his troops to defend Beicheng and relaxed

A decoy for the defense of other walls.

Liu Zhizu did not tell Li Jian the specific situation just to make Li Jian's actions look more real and more tempting to Zhang Xianzhong. The real killer move was actually Liu Zhizu's main force in the south of the city.

With Liu Zhizu's deployment completed, the pace of the war suddenly accelerated a lot. The senior leaders of the Pei family army quickly arranged the attack targets for each army, the respective tasks of each battalion, and the order of their own attacks.
