The next morning, Yan Liang left only three thousand old men to defend the city, and led all the remaining army to the Yewang City. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's order, Yan Liang could only respect the order.

Since he really had nothing to say, Yan Liang directly ordered an attack. Since Yan Liang personally supervised the battle, the soldiers all rushed forward and striving to attack the city. Looking at this formation, Yan Liang was quite satisfied. Now the morale in the army is high and the military discipline is strict. In addition, the number of people on his side is several times higher than that on the other side, Yan Liang felt that there was no reason for his side to fail.

However, not long after, Yan Liang felt something was wrong, because the army was progressing extremely slowly, and it could even be said that there was no progress, because all the soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were cut to death.

Yan Liang saw clearly at the city that Xun You dispatched five generals under his command to all directions, Chang Chun, Zhang He and Gao Lan each guarded one side, Pan Feng and Mu Shun jointly guarded one side, and at the core of the city tower, only Xun You and a young general were in charge of command.

Although there are not many soldiers in the city, the other party allocated the soldiers very reasonably, and the comparison of troops was almost fixed, ensuring that there were people in every position, and at the same time, it was also ensuring that there would be no two people in each position that only needs one person to guard. The soldiers guarding the city performed their duties and responded calmly. With such a demeanor, such orderly and precise personnel were amazing. Yan Liang had never encountered such a commander in his life, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"I really didn't expect that Xun You had such ability. It seems that I really underestimated him too much. Such defense is simply impeccable."

Yan Liang smiled bitterly. This time he really met an opponent. He lost confidence in both martial arts and military commanders. He was confident that he could fight with the other party for 300 rounds, but the military commanders felt that the difference was not a little bit, because if he was in the other side, if he stood in that position, he would not have deployed and dispatched all of this so meticulously.

In fact, Yan Liang didn't know that although Xun You's command ability was indeed not bad, in fact, the one who actually carried out the specific dispatch and distribution was Hao Zhao, that is, the inconspicuous young man around Xun You. Even Xun You admired this young man now because this young man was too powerful and could do this. Xun You believed that even if he went on his own, he might not be able to do this well.

In this case, Yan Liang had to order the army to suspend the attack and set up camps not far outside the city, and then ordered the soldiers to cut down trees and create ladders to make the soldiers' siege more convenient.

However, when the ladder was built and the attack began, the opponent ordered the feather arrow to be wrapped with oil cloth, ignited and shot it with a bow. In an instant, the ladder they worked hard to create fell into a sea of ​​fire, burned completely, and even the soldiers on the ladder were burned to death. This time, the setting fire caused Yan Liang to lose hundreds of people.

"I'm convinced that there is such a strange method. How did Xun You have a brain? He could have thought of such an idea."

This is not a mistake for Yan Liang to be convinced, because in history, there has never been a rocket like this, and Hao Zhao's actions are really a genius idea.

After receiving the news of the failure, Yan Liang couldn't help but sigh to the sky, "I have tried my best. The opponent is too strong. With such impeccable defense, even if the Tuo Yi, who is good at siege, is probably helpless."
