This is a survival and death with the city, but it is not just Yang Hu just said it casually, but the military orders made by Yang Hu and Cao Liang. The city is there, and the city is dead!

For this military order, Yang Hu made full preparations, including this battle of spirit stones, which were part of his preparations.

Attack is the best defense, so Yang Hu took the initiative to attack and ambush the Sima Army's vanguard battalion at Lingshi Pass. No matter how many Sima Army it annihilated, it will reduce the Sima Army's strength to a certain extent.

But it is estimated that Yang Hu himself would not have thought that he would achieve such a good record. He could not only kill and injure the Sima Army's livelihood, but also kill Sun Li, the Sima Army's general, severely injured the Sima Army, and to a certain extent, delayed the Sima Army's attack.

Of course, this is far from enough. Even if the entire Pioneer Battalion is destroyed, Sima Yi will still send another army to come. How to defend Jiexiu will still rely on Jiexiu's solid defense.

The equipment such as 10,000 new garrisons, catapults and crossbows that Cao Liang added to Jie Xiu had already been in place. Yang Hu returned to Jie Xiu City and was secretly happy when he saw this state. It seemed that Cao Liang attached great importance to Jie Xiu's gains and losses. He sent so many troops and weapons and equipment. This was the rhythm of fighting with the Sima Army!

Even if these new troops and equipment were not added, Yang Hu was still very sure of defending Jiexiu City. Today, Jiexiu City is no longer the second-class small county in the past. The newly built brick wall has improved Jiexiu City's anti-strike ability by several levels. The original rammed earth city wall will soon collapse under the attack of the catapult car, and the brick city wall has become the nemesis of the catapult car. As long as the catapult car does not reach the strength of the saturated attack, it will become very difficult to break through the defense system of the city wall.

The offense and defense of a city is like a contradiction, and it is always in an opposition relationship. The strong attack means weak defense, and the strong defense means weak attack. The emergence of a catapult cart is a huge threat to the rammed earth city wall, but with the emergence of stone brick walls, the defense of the city has gained the upper hand.

If you want to completely destroy the solid city wall, only thermal weapons will appear. At this stage, Cao Liang doesn’t have to worry about a comparable existence.

Yang Hu ordered the entire army to be on guard and be on guard, and no slack was allowed. Although Jie Xiu City's defense has been upgraded, if there is a problem with the person who defends it, there is also a possibility of loss.

In this regard, Yang Hu will never leave any chance for Sima Jun.

After waiting for three days, the Sima army finally appeared on the horizon to the south. The Sima army had been stationed in the spirit stones thirty miles away. It took three days to launch an attack on Jiexiu City. It was obvious that Sima Yi had made a brand new adjustment.

On the horizon, Sima Jun's flags covered the sun, and the dark ground came from the mountains and fields. Just looking at this formation, it was so vast that it was enough to make people frightened.

The Bingzhou Army had already made full preparations for combat, and they were all calm and focused, with their bows in their hands and arrows in their strings, waiting for the moment when Sima Army rushed up.

But after Sima's army emerged on the horizon, they stopped moving forward and set up camps on the spot. Obviously, they did not intend to attack the city immediately. This kind of combat method of step by step was Sima Yi's usual style.

Yang Hu had no intention of leaving the city to attack at night. Just looking at this movement, how could Sima's army be unprepared? Now that he went out of the city to attack, he would definitely plunge into Sima Yi's trap. Yang Hu naturally would not do such a loss-making business.

Instead, he ordered to strengthen his vigilance and beware of Sima's army's sneak attacks and attacks at the city at night.

That night, the battlefield seemed extremely calm. Both sides were at peace, but in the calm, there was still undercurrents. Both sides were on guard. It was estimated that few people could sleep well that night. As the sky lights brightened, the atmosphere became more and more tense and the battle was about to break out.

Chen Qian, who had just taken over as the vanguard general, naturally couldn't sleep at night. Regardless of whether the Bingzhou Army would launch a night attack, he had to make careful arrangements. Even if there was a one-ten thousand chance, he should never take it lightly.

Compared with Sun Lilai, Chen Qian is far apart in terms of age and talent, but this does not mean that Chen Qian's ability is not good. Sima Yi's vision of people is very toxic. Since he believes that Chen Qian has the ability to lead troops to fight and serve as a pioneer, Chen Qian must have outstanding features and is competent for this position.

Being a county magistrate and commanding such a vanguard army are completely different from being the one who is defeated in Sima's army, and the burden on Chen Qian's shoulders seems to be heavier. How can we fight this battle of Jiexiu? Chen Qian is under great pressure.

Sima Yi increased the pioneer camp from 30,000 to 50,000. It can be seen that Sima Yi's attitude towards taking Jiexiu City. Although Sima Yi did not issue any time limit requirements to Chen Qian, for Chen Qian, if he wants to prove himself, he must take Jiexiu City as soon as possible to eliminate people's doubts about others.

After resting outside Jiexiu City for a night, Chen Qian issued an order to bury the pot and make rice during the fifth update. After a full meal, Sima Jun officially launched an attack on Jiexiu City at the right time.

The Sima army was in a neat and clear manner, and under the rumbling war drums, they slowly advanced to the city of Jiexiu. Chen Qian and Sima Shi led an army of 50,000, and went straight to the city of Jiexiu.

When the two sides fight, the attacking party will usually lead the general to challenge. If the defending party wants to fight, it will also send generals out of the city and fight one after another. The battle between the generals is of great significance and will be of great help to improve one's morale. Of course, the prerequisite must be achieved, and if the failure is not the case, the morale will become sluggish.

Of course, this is a conventional way of fighting. When the attacking side challenges, the defending side can choose to fight or not.

Chen Qian sent a side general Han Sheng to the city to challenge him. Han Sheng arrived at the city and asked his soldiers to wave flags and shout loudly. The sound of the scolding was naturally unpleasant, which aroused the indignation of the generals of the Bingzhou Army on the city. They asked Yang Hu to fight, trying to compete with Han Sheng.
