Wei Zhu thought about something and did not comment on the eunuch's words.

It was late at night, and the tall city walls of Anyi looked like ghosts in the eyes of the siege soldiers. They appeared like shadows through the night, and were close at hand but far away in the sky.

The Tang army has been attacking for five days, and each time it is stopped by Jia Hua's five thousand powerful archers and cannot get close to the city wall. Lu Bu and Ma Chaokong have martial arts skills, but he is unable to perform them.

The tent was brightly lit, and Fang Li was walking back and forth anxiously. There were hills on both sides of Anyi City. Fang Li had sent spies to the mountain to find a way several times, but the news he got was that there was only a small path in the mountains that could be passed by one person, and the soldiers could not bypass Anyi from both sides of the east and west.

Jin was near, but the Tang army was stuck in a small Anyi and could not move, which made the Tang army unable to stop being moved.

Taking a sip of tea irritably, Fang Li looked at Ma Chao who was sitting upright and frowned, saying, "Meng Qi, has the news reached Quwo?"

Ma Chao clasped his fists and said, "According to the scout, the news produced by the lord should have spread throughout Quwo at this time."

"How come there is no movement at all." Fang Li walked out of the tent and looked at the quiet city of Anyi not far away. "It seems that we cannot pin all our hopes on the stupidity of the stranger. Our army must make other plans."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu, who had just finished a siege, came here with his armor covered in blood. Fang Li's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Fengxian, are you approaching the city tower?"

Lu Bu smeared the blood clots on his forehead and handed the Fang Tian Hua Ji to the personal soldiers waiting beside him. His angular face revealed a little unwillingness: "According to the lord's order, I did not attack this time, but led my army to fight to the end. After finally approaching the city tower and putting down the ladder, the soldiers had lost more than half of them and had to retreat."

Ma Chao said happily when he heard this, "I am worthy of being General Fengxian. Lord, take advantage of the fact that the Jin army has not recovered, and let me lead the troops to rush again!"

Fang Li shook his head, sat down with Lu Bu in the account, and called someone to send a hot water towel. Then he continued to ask: "What's going on the city tower? Is the density of the arrow changing?"

"Reporting to the lord, it seems to be no sharper than yesterday." Lu Bu replied, "From the density, there should be less than three thousand powerful archers on the city tower, and it was not until our army approached the city wall."

That's right.

Fang Li thought that if Jia Hua did not allow his five thousand powerful archers to rest alternately, he would not deserve to be called a famous general who was good at guarding.

"Meng Qi, how long can military rations be eaten?"

Ma Chao thought for a while and replied: "About ten days, the grain transport team will arrive tomorrow, so you don't have to worry."

Fang Li suddenly thought of a possibility: "Jia Hua is so quiet, will our army's food and grass be lost, right?"

Ma Chao was stunned and then smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry, our army's food and grass will be escorted by General Ji Ling to Jiangguan, and no one can burn grain from General Ji Ling."

Thinking of the majestic three sharp swords in Ji Ling's hand, he felt relieved for a moment: "Even so, you can't drag it down after capturing Anyi."

The central tent of the Tang army camp stretched out in pieces, and the attacks in batches day and night made the soldiers accumulate too much fatigue, and the failure of days and days left a lot of shadow in everyone's hearts.

The morale of the Tang army gradually declined, but the morale of the Jin army in Anyi City was high, and their generals kept asking Jia Hua to fight, but Jia Hua refused firmly.

But no matter how many times he was rejected, every time the Tang army attack was repelled, the Jin generals continued to ask for battle, which made Jia Hua, as the main general, both relieved and helpless.

Located in the custody palace in the center of Anyi City, Jia Hua began another routine psychological work.

The three side generals stood side by side in the hall, raised their heads high, their eyebrows were flying, and they glared at Jia Hua, and their dissatisfaction was beyond words.

"General Jia, General Jia doesn't understand!" One of the middle-aged generals with a tall and strong body said loudly, "The Tang army is only 30,000, and has consumed a lot of physical strength in the siege of the city for several days. Why didn't the general let General Wu go to battle and completely wipe out their sharpness?"

"That's right, the last general is also very puzzled." Another short and fat side general agreed, "Now the three families jointly attacked our Great Jin Dynasty, and the situation is critical. If we can defeat the Tang army outside the city and take down Tang Gong Fangli in one fell swoop, can we worry for the lord?"

Although the third general did not say anything, his constant nodding had already shown his intentions.

Jia Hua, who was just over thirty years old, was wearing short-dressing clothes, sat on the head of the hall, holding a cup of hot tea, and looked gentle and elegant, completely unlike a bloody general who led his troops to rush.

Seeing that the three of them finally stopped their mouths, Jia Hua raised his hand to rub the painful forehead, and glanced downward: "Are you finished talking?"

The short and fat general snorted angrily: "Report to the general, you're done!"

Jia Hua twitched his lips, as if he was extremely helpless: "You have been with me for three or four years, right? Why are you still so stupid?"

"You only have 30,000 Tang troops in your eyes. Tang Gong Fang Li has thought about who else led the 30,000 Tang troops?"

"Lu Fengxian, Ma Mengqi, who is not a powerful general who can break through alone under the tiger and wolf Qin army? Which one is not a strange talent who can kill the head of the general among thousands of troops with one force? You just don't take your own lives and your soldiers seriously?"

Jia Hua's tone was gentle and soft, not like scolding, but like saying a certain fact: "Not to mention you, even if you have ten generals, it is not enough to fight those two for ten rounds."

I knew that every sentence Jia Hua said was true. If it were five days ago, the three of them would definitely calm down and be ashamed after hearing it. However, the victory over the past few days has caused the Jin army to disdain for the Tang army, and these three people cannot escape the vulgarity.

Jia Hua was firm in his attitude, and the three of them were not willing to persuade him anymore, so he could only leave angrily. He remembered his comrades far away in Qingyuan, who was in charge of the general's command and was fighting all directions and making many military achievements. However, he and others could only hide in the city like an unscathed turtle. Only by relying on those powerful archers could they maintain their advantages, and they were even more angry.

No matter how brave Ma Chao is, he has only two people. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers on several sides and his back is against Anyi City. What are you afraid of?

Jia Hua knew the dissatisfaction of his subordinates very well, but he could only ignore it and comfort him with kind words.

The Jin army stationed in Anyi was only 10,000, and less than 5,000 were able to fight out of the city. After five days of consumption, the Tang army only lost more than 2,000 people. With such a huge gap in military strength, what could he do besides defending the city?

Looking at the dazzling starry sky outside the door, Jia Hua couldn't help but hold his hand holding the teacup: "I don't know if the letter has been handed over to the lord, and when will reinforcements be sent..."
