This king returned to the camp first, and there was any progress reported. Sima Ji was not waiting and watching. It seemed that he took down Yecheng with just one wave of offensives, and he did look down on the defense of the Five Capitals of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Yecheng is also divided into two cities in the north and south, which can serve as a support to defend each other. This similar arrangement of Xiangyang once made the Yuan army in later generations bloody. Then the Song army, which was not famous for its combat power, was defending the city. If it were replaced by Yecheng's defenders here, Sima Ji did not have many ways, otherwise he would not have fought hard.

However, after the Battle of Xiangyang, the Yuan army did not encounter any major wars, and it was easy to destroy the Song Dynasty. As long as the Yecheng was conquered, Sima Ji would always be able to travel across Hebei, otherwise there would always be a thorn on his back. The importance of Yecheng was the same as the importance of Xiangyang to the Southern Song Dynasty in later generations.

But the overall environment is also a little different. Sima Yong is just the enemy in front of him. There are other vassal kings who come to help at any time farther away. Moreover, the military strength of the Song Dynasty was not famous in history. It is understandable that it could not defeat the Liao and Jin Dynasties. It was impossible to defeat the Xiazhou Jiedushi and the Jiedushi could not bear it.

The Song Dynasty's military strength was criticized, not because it was powerless to fight the north, but even Vietnam could attack the Song Dynasty. This was intolerable for an orthodox dynasty. It was not a slander of the Song army. The so-called blocking the Mongolian Empire for decades was just a gift on the face. The Song Dynasty was the only country that had not been destroyed by the peak Mongol Empire, and the Song Dynasty encountered the Yuan Dynasty.

What is the difference between the Yuan Dynasty and the Mongol Empire? The real Khan of the Mongol Empire was Alibuge. Kublai Khan raised an army to usurp the throne with the support of the Han army in the Central Plains. Kublai Khan should be regarded as the first person to dismember the Mongol Empire. In the eyes of other Khanates, Kublai Khan has been a traitor to the Mongol Empire for a long time. The Yuan Dynasty was a country that had been divided by the rebels and occupied the place where Mongolia started.

The command was sent to the attack for fifteen days and night. At night, the catapult was smashed by me. Even if he had to pile up people's lives, he would have to flatten Yecheng. Sima Ji, who returned to the tent, could not wait for good news, and ordered viciously that after conquering Yecheng, he would kill Sima Yong's family. He heard that he had three sons, and one of them could not be let go.

Sima Ji's angry look made everyone feel terrified. Wang Shaoyi pursed her lips and said softly, "The soldiers have done their best, don't be angry, husband."

If you spend time with Sima Yong, you will naturally not be angry. Only this enemy will be the worst. However, there are others in his alliance. Once the King of Changsha is defeated, reinforcements will come to rescue him. Sima Ji scratched his scalp and said irritably, "I don't have time to waste from here, and I can't leave Yecheng to fight others first." There is not enough time. This is what makes your husband anxious."

If he wanted Sima Ji not to be anxious, only Sima Tianshen from the capital came to earth and defeated Sima Ying and Sima Xu with his inferior forces, so that he could slowly siege the city without rushing. But it would be better to expect others to conquer Yecheng. It is obvious to everyone that Sima's situation is much more dangerous than himself, and it is good news not to send people to ask for help.

King Yan! Cao Qian walked into the military tent at this time and greeted Wang Shaoyi first. He just spoke up and asked Sima Ji, if there was any progress, the siege had been hammered.

The last general was about to say this! Cao Qian looked at Sima Ji's face carefully and said, "The siege hammer that King Yan had high expectations for was very effective, but the four gates of Yecheng were already filled with stones, and even though he broke open the city gate, he still couldn't enter."

Sima Ji looked at Cao Gan straight, and suddenly laughed in anger. He sucked in anger and said to himself that the city gate was filled, OK! Awesome, how many houses have been demolished, and he is determined to defend it.

What is this? Even the city gate was filled to death, which shows that the elder was determined to defend himself and hoped that other vassal kings would send troops to rescue him.

The last general is willing to take the Dragon Catch Camp to attack the city! Seeing Sima Ji's frowning look, Cao Gan gritted his teeth and asked for his order.

For a giant city like Yecheng, you are the same as those surrendered soldiers. Besides, the clothes of the Dragon Que Camp are too conspicuous. Once you go to the battlefield, you will be exposed. I can no longer bear the soldiers of Youzhou. Sima Ji kept shook his head and asked Cao Gan to give up this idea. He transferred 20,000 infantrymen, cut off the Zhang River for me, divert the water to other rivers, and let the Zhang River in the city dry up.

The King of Yan wanted to die of thirst in the city? Cao Gan asked a question, and the last general immediately mobilized his troops.

Yecheng is not short of water, and it is because I am too thirsty. It’s just that the Zhang River flows into the city and it is not good for me. The Zhang River also connects to the moat of Yecheng. If it is not cut off, the filled moat will be washed away. The main reason is that at the beginning, I was afraid of wasting time, so I didn’t intercept the Zhang River. Now that I can’t fight, I have to think of a way.

It cannot be blamed for this. Who would have thought that Sima Yong would fill the city gate to death. There were fifteen cities in all directions in Yecheng. This was the capital of the former Wei State. If it was said to fill it, it would fill it to death. This was simply more decisive than the bell king ten years ago.

Also, I cut down all the nearby trees, added coal tar and threw them, siege the city during the day and throw them at night. This king exhausted the defenders. Sima Ji shouted to Cao Gan, who had already walked out of the military tent.

King Yan and King Changsha of the capital sent an internal official and were waiting outside the camp. As soon as Cao Gan left, Qian Ming walked into the military tent and brought a news that was obviously not good news.

He brought it in, probably because he asked for help. Sima Ji smiled bitterly, and felt so regretful about the decision to divide his troops to capture the states a few days ago. But since he was sent out, he couldn't let them come back, practice running back?

But now he did not have any extra troops to support Sima. If Yecheng did not conquer, he led a large army to wait for Sima Yong to stab him back. With a sigh, the inner officials who came from Luoyang had already walked into the military tent.

I pay homage to the Dazai! As soon as the inner servant came in, he knelt down and said, "The Taiwei heard that the Dazai had won a great victory in the battle with the rebel Sima Yong a few days ago, so he was naturally overjoyed and came to ask the Duzai to work hard. Today, when he saw the Dazai, he realized the magnificent army's appearance, which made people dare not face it.

The King of Changsha is so good. What's going on in the capital now? Sima Ji asked Neihuan to get up and sit down, and asked about the situation in Luoyang.

All the officials who came here said everything. Finally, the King of Yan and the King of Changsha defeated several rebels, but the opponent was constantly in a steady stream. The King of Changsha was insufficient in his hands. I wonder if King of Yan could send a side army south to cross the Yellow River and fight side by side with the King of Changsha?

You also saw that Sima Yong was defending his stance in Yecheng. I can't leave now. Yecheng will not conquer Hebei. If there is any mistake, everything will be lost. Sima Ji also has his own difficulties. His troops are enough, but attacking Yecheng itself requires huge troops. It is difficult to rescue Sima from a side division. He is covered in lice, so how can he have time to tickle for others?

Do you want to say the only force that is not useful now? Sima Ji spoke in his heart. I have a string control man under my command, with a number of about 20,000, but I don’t know if the King of Changsha needs it. This string control man is a small part of the grassland, and his face is very different from that of the people of the Central Plains. This is the only partial army that I can send.
