In Youzhou, outside Jizhou City, in the Wuhuan military tent, Tadun Chanyu's face was very gloomy. His army had been attacking the city for seven consecutive days.
But this Jizhou is like a nail, stuck here and not moving at all!
The willpower of these Han people is really frightening. The seven-day fierce attack killed and injured 70,000 people. In other words, 10,000 people were injured every day during the siege!
This is an extremely terrifying number, and seven consecutive days of siege made the entire army very exhausted.
The war-weariness in the military camp is very strong. If this continues, the war situation will come to a standstill.
What made Tadun Shanyu even more uneasy was the movements of Cao's army.
According to the news that has been coming in one after another recently, Cao Jun seems to have moved north. If this siege battle is not ended quickly, he may have worries.
If Cao Jun really attacked the rear and cut off his retreat, the Youzhou army and Cao Jun would attack him from the front and back, which would be enough to give him a drink.
There was also no news from King Nanlou for a long time, which made him uneasy.
However, I gave him an army of 100,000, and it had only been less than half a month, so there shouldn't be any surprises.
That's 100,000 people. If they don't fight Cao's army, they should be able to hold it for a month.
Tadun Shanyu frowned, feeling extremely uneasy. Finally he took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind.
"Instruct the three armies to rest for three days and attack the city again in three days!"
"We must go all out in this battle and capture Jizhou at all costs, even if it costs human lives!"
Everyone in the tent was shocked. Tadun Shanyu was crazy. They had already filled up 70,000 people. Every day they saw that Jizhou was about to be conquered, but they couldn't.
Tadun Shanyu was so prepared this time, it was a desperate move!
"As you command!"
Everyone did not dare to have any opinions and went away individually.
Tadun Shanyu's eyes were dark. He decided that this battle could not be delayed any longer. This time he could not attack fiercely. He wanted to find out the situation of Bingzhou. If Cao's army invaded, he needed to withdraw immediately!
Otherwise, your life will be in danger!
Outside Jizhou City, in a hidden valley, the black-faced Zhang Fei was pacing back and forth, obviously very impatient.
The rough voice makes people's eardrums hurt.
"Second brother, how long have we been waiting for? I think Gongsun Zan can't hold on anymore, why don't you send troops quickly?!"
"I, Lao Zhang, have been looking forward to it for a long time. This snake spear of eight feet is rusty, and I have nowhere to use all my strength!"
Gongsun Du on the side also shouted anxiously: "Yes, General Guan, it's better to send troops quickly, my brother Cong Cong has been guarding for seven days!"
"The Wuhuan army is attacking every day, and the city walls are dyed blood red. It's such a tragic situation, the general is really heartbroken!"
"Those are all my Youzhou soldiers, of Han Chinese blood!"
Guan Yu sat on the commander's seat, gently stroking his long beard, narrowing his eyes and thinking in his mind.
They arrived outside Jizhou City early. They had witnessed the fighting between Gongsun Zan and Wuhuan in the past few days. To be honest, Guan Yu was shocked by the strong attack by the Youzhou defenders.
For seven whole days, the city was defended.
Outside the city are all the corpses of the Wuhuan people. If Gongsun Zan does not die this time, this army will be a tiger and wolf army!
Because they have faith and military spirit, after experiencing the baptism of such a war, they will become the guardian saints of the border!
The foreigners didn't dare to take a step south, but Guan Yu was still waiting!
He wants to wait for the best record, the opportunity to defeat Wuhuan in one fell swoop and kill Tadun Shanyu!
At this time, Zhao Yun walked in from outside.
"General Guan Wuhuan seems to have reached a truce and has not sent out troops in recent days. I watched from the hill and could only see the smoke rising from the opponent's camp."
Guan Yu's eyes narrowed and he understood instantly.
"It seems that Tadun Shanyu is going to make a desperate move and is preparing to rectify his army for the final strong attack!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei said: "Second brother, this should be a good opportunity. Wuhuan fought hard for seven days, losing many people and demoralizing!"
"Now we are forced to fight again. As long as we make a surprise attack at this critical moment, we will definitely annihilate Wuhuan in one fell swoop!"
Guan Yu nodded: "Okay, send an order to the three armies to prepare their troops and horses and be on standby at any time. Let the scouts keep an eye on them and report immediately if there is any situation!"
"in addition."
Guan Yu turned to look at Gongsun Du and took out Gongsun Zan's letter asking for help from his arms.
They intercepted the personal soldiers Gongsun Zan sent to Xuchang. After reading it, they understood that Gongsun Zan was willing to surrender, but they still needed someone to pass on the news.
And Gongsun Du is the best candidate!
"General Gongsun, take my letter and go to Jizhou City to tell Gongsun Zan that I will wait for Yuan Jun to arrive soon so that he can stabilize his military morale!"
"We must attract Wuhuan's troops and hold them until we take action. By then we should cooperate with each other internally and externally, and we will be able to defeat Wuhuan!"
Gongsun Du was so excited that he took the letter and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"
After saying that, he strode out and headed to Jizhou with his soldiers.
In Jizhou City, Gongsun Zan's military tent, Gongsun Zan looked tired at this time. Seven days of high pressure and endless defense of the city made him look several years older.
More than half of the army in the city was lost, and all the defensive equipment was used up. The city was almost breached several times, but it was he who desperately led his soldiers to recapture the city wall.
Rubbing his bloodshot eyes, he sighed deeply. He didn't know how long he could hold on like this.
One day, two days?
He doesn't know where his letter asking for help has gone, whether Cao Cao is willing to let him surrender, and where is Yuan's army?
Countless problems bothered him, making him unable to calm down at all. The only good news in the past two days was that the Wuhuan people had ceased fighting.
The soldiers on both sides were relieved to have a rest, but Gongsun Zan understood that the other side had no intention of withdrawing.
The rest of the past few days are probably preparing for the final attack. What they are about to face is the desperate and crazy Wuhuan army!
Can Jizhou still be defended?
"Report! General, Cao Jun is coming!"
A soldier suddenly came to report.
When Gongsun Zan heard this, he stood up excitedly and said immediately: "Please come quickly!"
The originally dim eyes immediately brightened up. Cao Jun was coming, which meant that they were saved. They didn't know which general it was.
After adjusting my clothes a little, I heard a familiar voice.
"Brother! I'm late!"
When Gongsun Zan stumbled into the military tent, Gongsun Zan's eyes were moist.
"Shengji is really you!"
The two of them burst into tears immediately. They almost felt the same way about Jizhou's predicament in the past few days, especially Gongsun Zan, who was just fighting hard with a sigh of relief.
I almost lost my life several times, but I managed to survive in the end.
"It's great that brother can figure it out. This is General Guan's reply to brother!"
After the two chatted for a while, Gongsun Du took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan browsed it quickly and felt more and more surprised.
"Okay, okay! I, Youzhou, can be preserved, my Han country can be preserved, and these Wuhuan thieves will definitely be buried here!"
