Han Zhan's mind was thinking about how Dian Wei died in history. It seemed that he was shot to death by random arrows. No matter how good his martial arts were, he was afraid of hidden arrows. When Zhao Yun saved Adou at Changbanpo, if Cao Mengde had not ordered that he would not have been shot to the cold arrows, he would have been shot to become a hedgehog by Cao's soldiers. Now Dian Wei has several feather arrows inserted into his body. If he had not rescued him in time, he might have been shot to death by random arrows in front of him.

After thinking about this, Han Zhan could no longer stay and quickly ordered Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, we will go to the city to supervise the battle. I hope Zilong and the others can take the city as soon as possible."

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Chen Dao was startled and quickly persuaded: "Lord, no, the city is too dangerous, I may be hurt by the hawkish arrows, so we should stay here."

Guo Jia guessed that Han Zhan was worried about Dian Wei's safety, so he quickly comforted him and said, "Lord, Uncle Zhi is right. The city is too dangerous. Let's stay here to watch the battle. Zi Manji people have their own heavenly appearance, so there will definitely be no problem. Don't worry, lord."

Although Han Zhan was worried about Dian Wei's safety, he also valued his life. Seeing that Guo Jia and Chen Dao tried their best to persuade him not to take risks in person, after hesitating for a while, he no longer stubbornly, but continued to stay where to watch the battle and see how the newly rushing troops broke the city.

Whether it was Dian Wei, Guan Yu, or Zhang Fei's siege troops, they were almost all composed of members of the Yellow Turban Army. The reason why Han Zhan arranged this was, first, to allow these cannon fodder to consume the enemy's vitality; second, to remove the drought and preserve the essence, select elite troops suitable for their use. However, in this way, the quality of the soldiers is relatively poor, and the casualties will be greater in the siege battle.

As Zhao Yun commanded the elites of the Jizhou army to suppress the situation, the situation changed. Teams of crossbowmen came to the city and shot arrows at the top of the city to suppress the defenders. When the defenders on the city saw the crossbowmen coming, they did not take it to their hearts. They thought they could handle them easily and continued to throw wooden rocks at the Jizhou army climbing the city.

But when the crossbowmen started to shoot arrows, the defenders on the city realized that they were wrong, and they were outrageously wrong. As soon as they emerged, they were shot by arrows flying from the city. Some fell down after being shot on the arrow, while others fell directly down the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest quickly retracted their bodies back behind the battlements to prevent them from being shot by random arrows.

Zhang Ji, who was commanding the soldiers to besiege Dian Wei, was furious when he saw that his soldiers no longer threw stones at the city, but instead retracted their bodies behind the squatter. He swung his sword and cut over two soldiers who were so scared that they dared not show their heads, and shouted at the other soldiers: "Continue to throw wooden stones. If the Jizhou army rushed up, you and I would die without a burial place." The soldiers were originally suppressed by the bows and arrows under the city, but when he heard Zhang Ji's shouting, he had to stand up tremblingly and lift the stones and throw them into the city.

Dian Wei's speed of wielding the double halberd was getting slower and slower, and gradually approaching the oil and dry up. Suddenly, he felt the pressure around him lighter. Then he found that the enemy general who was commanding the soldiers to besiege him actually ran to the city wall and waved his sword to drive the soldiers guarding the city to throw stones at the city. The soldiers surrounding him were not as strong as the general's supervision. Seeing this, Dian Wei knew in his heart that the attack under the city must have been more fierce, attracting the attention of the defenders, otherwise he would have been in danger at this moment.

Seeing that the attack under the city suddenly became fierce, Zhang Ji felt that the situation was a little bad, so he quickly sent his subordinates to Gongsun Fan for help. He was afraid that Gongsun Fan would not be saved when he saw death, so he specifically instructed his subordinates: "When he saw General Gongsun, he told him that Chen Jiang and Yu did not send a soldier to support us. Now the enemy's offensive is fierce, and we can almost no longer support us. Please send reinforcements to support us quickly."

Gongsun Fan, who was staying in the prefect's mansion, was surprised to hear the report of the soldiers sent by Zhang Ji, and asked in surprise: "What, Chen Jiang and Yu Ze have never sent troops to reinforce you?"

"Reply to the general," the soldier replied quickly, "No."

Gongsun Fan stood up and shouted outside: "Come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Duma came in from outside the lobby, bowed to him, and then asked, "What are the general's instructions?"

"We sent a messenger to Chen Jiang, and Yu Ze's place, have we returned?"

Uncle Du hesitated for a moment when he heard Gongsun Fan’s question, then shook his head and said, “I haven’t come back.”

Seeing that Du Bo answered the question, he stood there without moving. Gongsun Fan was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped him. Then he said angrily: "Since they have not come back yet, why are you still standing here? Why don't you send someone to find him? If the Jizhou army really breaks the city, he will definitely kill you all."

Uncle Du, who was beaten, dared not speak back, so he could only cover his face and run out, re-arrange people outside to Chen Jiang and Yu Ze, and ask them to mobilize troops to reinforce the east of the city.

Chen Jiang and Yu had reached an agreement. No matter how critical the situation in the east of the city was, they could not actively send troops to reinforce. They did this to make Gongsun Fan understand in their hearts, whose troops were the backbone of defending the city. The two initially wanted to use Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops to attack the city, but they were unable to support the east of the city to vacate Gongsun Fan. But later, after discussing, they simply made a ruthless person and killed the messenger directly. If Gongsun Fan sent someone to ask, they would insist that they had not seen any messenger who had transferred troops at all.

After the two of them got rid of the messenger sent by Gongsun Fan, they took the mentality of sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight and allowed Zhang Ji's troops and the Jizhou army to fight to the death. They felt that as long as Sun Kang and Zhang Ji's troops were exhausted, Gongsun Fan had to rely on them. In this way, their lives and safety in the city could be effectively guaranteed.

But what they didn't expect was that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's soldiers were only beating drums and shouting under the city, and they didn't look like they were going to attack. Just as the two of them set up a banquet in the city tower and started drinking and having fun, the Jizhou army under the city actually launched an attack, which scared them to death.

The defenders on the top of the city saw that the city did not look like they were going to attack, so they took it lightly. They stood and chatted in groups from east to west. When they saw the Jizhou army suddenly attacking the city, they were really panicked. Fortunately, Chen Jiang and Yu Ze shouted on the city and restrained their troops, so they did not fall into chaos.

The offensive of the Jizhou army seemed fierce, but it was not worth worrying about the defenders on the city. There were some rolling wood stones on the city. When the Jizhou army rushed to the city and started to set up ladders to climb the city, as long as they threw these rolling wood stones down desperately, they could prevent them from climbing the city wall.
