Chen Gong's judgment was right, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao sent troops together, one from the west and the other from the north.

Both of them rushed over with a large army.

Lu Bu had no choice but to leave Zhang Yu alone for the time being.

But Zhang Yu's army couldn't be messed up in Xuzhou, so Lu Bu sent tens of thousands of troops over.

Jiangdong's army surrounded the city of Huaiyin, and then did not continue the attack.

"Remove the two walls, small forces don't care, and if a large force comes out, they will pursue." Guo Jia gave Dian Wei an order.

Dian Wei didn't know what Guo Jia was going to do, although he didn't look down on scholars like Guo Jia, but he represented Zhang Yu, and Dian Wei really didn't dare not listen.

Dian Wei went to withdraw the soldiers and horses, and when he came back, he said angrily: "Military division, one charge can be taken, why bother grinding and chirping like this." ”

Guo Jia smiled, and did not rush with Dian Wei, he knew that Dian Wei was Zhang Yu's number one favorite general, and he had been following Zhang Yu, so there was no need to conflict with him.

"Don't be in a hurry to attack, some battles are fought by evil generals, and we have to clean up Lu Bu, and we will definitely be able to make the generals happy when the time comes."

Dian Wei felt a lot more comfortable when he heard it, and he lost his temper, but Guo Jia had an order, and he didn't dare to make any discounts.

"Strategist, does this really work? Wouldn't it be better to take this Huaiyin City as soon as possible? Dian Wei's temper came and went quickly, and he immediately changed his tone and said to Guo Jia.

"It's useful, as long as Lu Bu still believes that the lord is here to take advantage, it is easy to be deceived, or it is more appropriate to compromise." Guo Jia said.

The army withdrew an opening, and the defenders of the city soon sent a small team out to reconnoitre.

As a result of the reconnaissance, the road ahead was blocked, and Gao Shun's heavy cavalry blocked the way.

It was also blocked by reinforcements.

Now the defenders of the city panicked even more.

Originally, they insisted on waiting for reinforcements, because if they sent troops from Xiapi City, it would only take a few days to arrive.

But now there are Gao Shun's heavy infantry, let alone a few days, I am afraid that they will not be able to reach for several months.

The guards of the city were in fear.

The defenders of the city were in despair.

After another day, the defenders of the city sent scouts from several sources, and after some reconnaissance, it was found that it was really difficult to break through, and more importantly, reinforcements could not come.

A day later, Guo Jia ordered the city to be besieged.

"Listen to the defenders of the city, give you two hours to consider, you have no reinforcements, you are alone in the city, the city gate is not opened after two hours, and all the officers above the centurion will be killed." Dian Wei personally shouted under the city walls.

It didn't take long for the people's hearts to fluctuate in the city, and Guo Jia's idea for Dian Wei was to fight psychological warfare.

The guard hesitated, and several of his lieutenants also looked like they wanted to say something.

The situation is not good.

"General, why don't we surrender?" An adjutant finally spoke.

That lord will be a battle-hardened general, and a veteran who has followed Lu Bu for many years.

"Poof~"

The general did not speak, but suddenly drew his sword and slashed the adjutant who advocated surrender.

Several other lieutenants were silent and did not dare to speak out.

"Give me a good defense, Wenhou is unparalleled in the world, and he will definitely be able to repel the enemy army and support us."

Having said that, the other lieutenants could only carry out the order.

At the same time, the junior officers are also very unstable, because they all know the current situation.

If nothing else, tens of thousands of troops have already surrounded them, and the Yuan army cannot reach it, which is a disaster for them.

Who can not be in a hurry, who is not afraid of death.

An hour passed, and the city was very depressed.

The guards themselves came out to patrol and brought their own guards.

Although the other lieutenants had ideas in their hearts, they did not dare to act rashly now.

Another half an hour passed, and Guo Jia didn't have much time for them.

"Defend it all for me, even if you die, you can't let the enemy break through the city." When the guard came to one place, he warned his soldiers.

The guard general made a round of inspections, which seemed to stabilize the morale of the army, but how much effect could it have under strong pressure?

Guo Jia gives them despair, and you can't give them hope.

As soon as the two hours arrived, Guo Jia ordered a strong attack.

Four walls were attacked at the same time.

"Kill me, or die if you don't surrender."

Dian Wei commanded his army to storm the city walls.

Dian Wei is in charge of a city wall, and Yu Ban is also in charge of a city wall, impacting wave after wave.

Several defenders personally commanded the city, but the enemy was too strong, and the army suffered heavy casualties from the beginning.

The situation is not good at all.

The defenders of the city were in disarray, and there were loopholes everywhere under the strong attack on all sides, and the most important thing was that the soldiers had no desire to fight.

The soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the military spirit is unstable.

"It can't go on like this, it's clear that it won't last for three days."

"The general is determined to fight to the death, and it will be us who will be unlucky at that time."

"Forget about surrendering, surrendering can still live, why are we fighting for the state army."

The morale of the army was unstable, and many of the lower officers wanted to surrender.

Jiangdong threatened to kill officers above the centurion level, not ordinary soldiers, so ordinary soldiers had no fighting spirit to the death.

And the lower-level officers you feel the deepest, they are usually very familiar with the soldiers, and they are clear about their status.

Under the strong attack, they will not be able to hold on.

"Lao Zhao, let's surrender together, otherwise we will really die here."

"Erzhu, I am a thousand-neck, you are a centurion, if it is discovered, we will die first."

"Lao Zhao, many people want to surrender, especially the local officers in Xuzhou, I'll contact you a few, and when the time comes, we will open the city gate together, so that maybe there is a chance to live."

The general surnamed Zhao thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he asked him to arrange it.

There were not many people in the city who thought like this, and some of the more active people began to act long before the war.

At this time, those high-ranking generals did not have time to take care of these at all, they were all on the front line to command the battle.

The battle was fierce, and both Dian Wei and Yu Ban wanted to take the city as soon as possible, even if the casualties were large, they didn't care.

Guo Jiake said that he would take the city as soon as possible, and then strengthen the defense and incorporate the entire Guangling County into the territory of Jiangdong.

Dian Wei and Yu Ban were very business-seeking, and almost broke through the city wall several times.

"General, general, there is a man-made law at the north gate, and the city gate has been opened."

The guard commanded the battle at the head of the city, and suddenly heard the news that the city gate was lost, and immediately forgot to command, forgot to dodge, and kept the arrow flying and hitting him in the arm.

"Ahh The pain made him scream.

"Hateful, hateful."

"Come with me, go chop up those thieves." The guard was angry and called some of the men next to him to clean up the traitors.

"Poof~"

A lieutenant struck from behind, and a spear pierced the defender.

"The general is dead, listen to my orders, open the city gates, and those who do not obey will be killed."

A sudden rebellion makes the situation abruptly change.
