Even the long night will eventually dawn. When the first ray of dawn rises from the horizon, the Wei army, who is ready to go, launched an attack on Jianye City.

On the river, Wang Jun's naval ships transported troops to the south bank day and night. The infantry and cavalry of each battalion were their priority transportation targets, followed by baggage and materials. Due to the extremely large number involved, it is estimated that the Wei naval fleet will not have free time in a few days.

Equipment like catapults and crossbows siege cars are the most back in the transportation order. Even if the Jiangnan side can quickly resolve the battle, these equipment and equipment will not be transported across the river. After all, after the battle over there, these bulky equipment will be useless and will have to be transported back then, which is too troublesome.

Therefore, the Wei army, which had previously arrived at Jianye City, did not have heavy siege equipment, but with the current momentum of the Wei army, is it necessary to siege the city?

The city of Wu was built far less tall and sturdy than the city in the Central Plains. Even if it was a capital like Jianye City, although it was known as a stone city, it was not entirely made of stone. Many sections of the city wall were made of rammed earth. Moreover, as the capital city, the height and thickness of the city wall were even worse than a county town in the Central Plains.

This situation is not surprising. The Central Plains has experienced many wars and Cao Liang's catapult cart emerged, so it forced the Sima family to strengthen the construction of the city. Any important city is either brick or stone. For such a city, it seems unsatisfactory to resist Cao Liang's catapult cart.

The land of Jiangdong has been comfortable for many years. Since Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, there has been no war in Jiangdong for more than 50 years. The people of Jiangdong are more obsessed with the so-called Yangtze River defense line and are very lazy in the construction of Jiangdong's city. They believe that the meaning of the existence of the city wall is just to prevent thieves, and there is no need to consider the issue of military siege. Therefore, even if the capital is Jianye, it is built extremely simple.

It is no wonder that, after all, more than fifty years ago, Jianye City was just a small wharf town on the Yangtze River. When Liu Bei went to Dongwu to marry Sun Quan's sister, he passed by a place called Moling at that time. He praised the dragon plate of Zhongshan and the stones and tigers. This was the residence of the emperor and urged Sun Quan to move the capital here. Zhang Hong also believed that Moling had the aura of the emperor. If Sun Quan could establish his capital here, he would most likely ascend to the 9th Five-Year Plan.

So in the 16th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan moved to Moling and changed his name to Jianye, which means to build an emperor's career.

However, Jianye was indeed very simple at that time. The reason why Jianye was called Stone City was not because it was built with stone, but because it was built on a stone mountain on the banks of the Qinhuai River, so it was called Stone City. It was actually rammed earth as a wall. There was not even a city gate at that time. There was only a fence gate woven with bamboo, which was as simple as possible.

Although after large-scale reconstruction and expansion, Jianye City finally had a palace city and a capital city, and the scope of the urban area was expanded to 20 miles and 19 steps, becoming the most prosperous and prosperous place in Jiangdong, but if Jianye and Luoyang and Chengdu are compared, there is still a world of difference.

Therefore, when attacking such a city, Yang Hu was not prepared to use heavy siege weapons such as catapults. The 100,000 troops of the Wei army alone were enough to capture Jianye City.

After the Wei army reached the city, Yang Hu did not rush to attack the city, but instead asked someone to shout to Jianye City and persuade the troops guarding the city to surrender. He repeatedly stated the Wei army's policies that the Wei army treated prisoners with preferential treatment. As long as the weapons were put down, they would be exempted from death. After the Wei army entered the city, Yu Minqiu did not commit any offense.

After hearing this, the people in the city were stunned. Didn’t the Wei army want to massacre the city after entering the city, burn, kill, rob, and do everything evil? But why do they shout that the surrenderers will not die and will not commit any crime? Who should I believe in this?

The method Yang Hu adopted was to attack the city as the best and attack the heart as the best. As long as the fighting spirit of the Wu army could be dismantled, it would be easy to capture Jianye City.

Of course, Yang Hu was not fooling the people of Wu. The Wei army's policy was to avoid death by surrendering and not committing any crime. The massacre of the city was purely nonsense. Over the years, there have been at least hundreds of cities captured by Cao Liang, and there has never been a massacre of the city. Not to mention the massacre of the city, even vicious murders rarely occur. Once someone finds that someone bullies the weak, kills innocent people indiscriminately, and teaches lewd and steals, they will be severely punished. Therefore, compared with other armies, the military discipline of the Wei army has always been regarded as strict and strict, and no one dares to easily violate the military discipline.

When Sima Yi heard this, he frowned. He wanted to use the people of Wu to defend Jianye, but when Yang Hu encouraged him, he could see that Wu people were in a state of turmoil. So Sima Yi quickly sent someone to promote it, asking them not to listen to the Wei army's confusion. Now they said it so nicely, but they just wanted to cheat Jianye City. Once the city fell, they would show their hideous faces and must not be fooled.

These Wu people were not very firm in their position. Now that they heard the words of both sides, they naturally became hesitant and didn't know who they should believe. However, unknowingly, their defensive will was invisibly disintegrated a lot.

Yang Hu also knew that the battle to attack the heart was enough, too much was too late, so after calling out, Yang Hu did not make any attempt to persuade the surrender, but ordered an attack on Jianye City. The persuasion of surrender should not be limited to language. If the Wu army cannot give some oppression and sense of crisis, how could they take the initiative to surrender? Only by forcing them into a desperate situation can such persuasion of surrender be meaningful.

Although there was no support from heavy weapons such as catapults, the Wei army's Ant Attack Siege was still very powerful. Tens of thousands of troops rushed to Jianye City like a tide and launched the most fierce and fierce offensive.

Jianye is the capital of Wu Kingdom. The significance of conquering Jianye is naturally extraordinary. Who can be the first to attack the city? Is this merit small?

Under the temptation of snatching the first merit, the soldiers of the Wei army were energetic and fighting spirit. Their offensive was like an extremely surging tide, rushing towards Jianye City with an irresistible momentum.

Except for Sima Yichang's army and some of the Wu army, most of the people participating in the war were ordinary people from the Eastern Wu. Such combat power is naturally conceivable. Faced with the fierce offensive of the Wei army, Jianye's city defense became dangerous, and they were simply unparalleled.
