"Tower of siege, get ready!" I shouted.

Guo Jia hurried over: "Master, there are many commoners here that want to attack, we are afraid of harming the innocent!"

I smiled. "You've underestimated the fighting spirit of the commoners. Even though they don't have much training experience, these people are a fearless army to survive."

Their feet touched the ground, and the ground shook with a loud bang. At the top of the city, the enemy drew their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at the advancing soldiers.

"Shield!" With a shout, the infantry at the forefront held their shields to their chests.

"Archers!" With another shout, the archers rushed forward and entered the Heavy Infantry's formation, using their shields to cover their figures.

The enemy on top of the city wall released their bowstring, and countless arrows fell towards us like locusts.

Our soldiers raised their shields and lined up in neat formation, facing the arrows as they walked towards the city wall.

The arrows were so concentrated that even though our men formed a shield wall, some of the soldiers still fell to the ground from the arrows.

As soon as they fell, someone filled in the gap and continued forward.

The archers hiding in the shield formation would shoot an arrow at the city wall with every two steps they took.

Arrows from both sides crossed each other, forming a dense net of arrows above the battlefield.

"Kill!" With an explosive shout, a few ladders were erected and the soldiers climbed up the ladders like apes.

The siege lasted three days and three nights, and the battlefield was already littered with corpses.

Cao Bao ran over with a face full of dust as he said, "Kuangtu, we really can't hold on any longer. These are all the disciples of the Xuzhou, if we throw them all in, I'm afraid that the Xuzhou's defense will be completely empty. If someone took advantage of the situation to sneak in, we already have no means of defending against them."

"General, we still have thirty thousand people left, forty-nine thousand from the Cao Jun, forty thousand from the Liu Biao Army and thirty-two thousand from the Yuan Shu Army." herald ran over and said.

Unable to take down the city, my heart was burning with anxiety. Guan Yinping's Female Army was currently healing the wounds of the soldiers while the rest of the soldiers were trapped in their tents, at a loss of what to do.

I walked back and forth. Although I had read a lot about the army these days, I was still inexperienced when it came to the siege.

I asked the system, "Can I summon the talents that specialize in besieging cities?"

"The current level of the host is too low, unable to be summoned selectively. Currently, the Host possesses 2,300 Psionic Coin.

I sighed, just at this time the herald came over again. "Reporting! Tao Qian's army has already retreated, Liu Biao's army has retreated!

"What?!" I was immediately taken aback.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "These people are all smart, and know that even if we take down the Jiangxia City, I am afraid that the Jiangxia City might not even belong to them, and attacking a light city is easy, but the enemy cannot take over, so if we want to take down the Jiangxia City, I will have to pay a higher price!"

"The advisor was right. We lost tens of thousands of people in exchange for a city, and it's a city full of scars. To them, this is not a good deal." Yue Fei said.

"Then there is no good way?" I looked at them both.

Guo Jia took a step forward, "It's been raining heavily in the morning. Today is a warm day, if I'm not mistaken, there will be a huge cloud of fog today at Chou Chou's place. Once the fog arrives, it might be our chance."

"Oh?"

"But I saw, Liu Ji's subordinate, Liu Ji was not someone to be trifled with, I'm afraid that he saw through it, and that's why they withdrew their troops early today." Guo Jia thought about it, "Master, you must take note of one thing, Cao Mengde seemed to have met Yuan Shu today, as if they were plotting something."

"He's probably looking for an opportunity to deal with Yuan Shao. The battle is about to begin." "No," I said.

Everyone was shocked, Yue Fei asked: "Why are you hitting Yuan Shao?"

"The two Yuan Family brothers have never been on good terms with each other." I said, "I am afraid that Cao Mengde's purpose for coming here is to seize the Jiangxia, but that is the worst plan I have. After all, there is a huge gap between Jiangxia and his Xudu, and it is very likely that she will have to notify this land. Secondly, Yuan Shu is to attack Yuan Shao, and the two brothers have never been on good terms with each other, so they want to kill each other."

"Three?" Silver Screen walked in.

"It's us, the last time we left, we were lucky to be alive, but according to Cao Mengde's plan, I'm afraid he won't let us off that easily." "No," I said.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were both Yuan Lian's sons. Yuan Shao was the elder brother, and Yuan Shu was the younger brother, but Yuan Shao was born from a concubine, while Yuan Shu was born from a concubine.

Yuan Shu looked down on Yuan Shao, which was well-known. Although Yuan Shao was probably born from a servant girl, his quality, popularity and standards were indeed better than Yuan Shu's. This Yuan Shu hated his brother even more, he wanted to fight to the death with his brother.

Actually, there was no need for Yuan Shu to look down on Yuan Shao. They were brothers who were similar in status, had a noble background, had an extraordinary personality and were completely stupid.

Yuan Shao Yuan Shu, the direct descendant of the family, the leader of the family;

Cao Cao Cao Tao Qian, revenge for the murder of his father, Qing Xu control the power struggle;

Liu Biao, the hatred of him for killing his father, the struggle between the Jingzhou and himself;

Yuan Shao Gongsun Zan, the revenge for the murder of his younger brother, the battle for supremacy in Hebei;

Liu Biao, battle for the position of the hegemon of the south.

With such a complicated relationship, the two brothers naturally wouldn't join hands against Cao Cao Cao. Otherwise, Cao Cao would have long been defeated. Since ancient times, it could be said that there would be no good ending to this internal conflict.

After I analyzed it, Guo Jia said: "Master has seen through everything, I am impressed, but now, Yuan Shu and Cao Mengde have joined hands, is it to deal with Master?"

"That being the case, we will be on standby today. We will conserve our energy and not attack." "No," I said.

Yue Fei said: "Such a great opportunity, will Master give it up?"

"There are two reasons to give up. The first is if we attack during the most ugly times, since Liu Ji knows that there is a fog, would he attack us? Secondly, since this little Jiangxia City is able to persevere for so long, it means that there are definitely capable people inside, and since there are capable people, then we will definitely have the chance to face the ugly times. Therefore, it seems untimely for us to attack the city at that ugly time, and instead, we are in danger of getting met with someone's trick! " "No," I said.

"My lord, you're right. But if all of this didn't happen, then wouldn't we have lost an opportunity?" Guo Jia said.

I thought carefully, "Let's watch and see first. Also, we are the weakest of the three dukes now. What do you think you would do if you were the garrison army within the city?"

"Ride on the fog and open the gates to meet the enemy. Send out a death squadron and annihilate the weakest army!" Yue Fei said, "If I were the one defending, the first one to be annihilated would be the Jiangdong Army, because right now the relationship between the Cao Jun and Yuan Shu's army is very good, and we are on the other side.

"Yes, it is ten in the night, we will immediately move to the camp and head to Yuan Shu's back." "No," I said.

"My lord, what are you doing?"

"When they open the city gates, they will not open the gates, but instead open the gates, and when the gates open from the two sides, they will definitely come out from the west to the north, so we will be the first army camp they come into contact with, and if we change the direction, then the first camp will be Yuan Shu's, furthermore, with the fog covering the sky, no one will be able to see anything!" I laughed.
