After Dong Zhuo's army had rested, they surrounded the entire Jian'an city.

"Since these people are so ungrateful, let's take them down right away. Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Dong Yue!"

"exist!"

"Each of you will be responsible for one side of the wall. Whoever reaches the wall first will get the credit."

"yes!"

"Go!"

The four of them thought they were here to get a bargain this time.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were still suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in various places. They were indeed fighting against bandits who were robbing cities, so it was easy to imagine how difficult it was.

No one took this incident seriously, and no one cared about anything else in order to seize the opportunity.

The four of them didn't even bother to organize their troops, and they just led them to charge in a swaggering manner.

But when they entered the shooting range of the guards, countless arrows rained down from the sky.

The four of them were shocked.

"Retreat quickly!"

The four men never imagined that there were not only a large number of defenders in the city, but also countless archers.

Their troops were lightly armed.

How could he dare to stay when he didn't even bring a decent shield?

Thus Dong Zhuo's first attack ended in vain.

"Marshal, we made a wrong judgment."

Dong Zhuo cursed, "You are a bunch of useless people! I told you to attack the city, not to be unprepared."

"Marshal, let me attack again."

Some people were still dissatisfied, but were scolded by Dong Zhuo again.

"Why attack?! Our morale is gone. How can we attack again? We'll talk about it tomorrow."

The first day passed like this.

The next day, Dong Zhuo's four subordinates did not dare to be careless this time, and each of them issued a military order to Dong Zhuo.

"General, we will definitely take Jian'an this time."

"General, if you still can't take Jian'an, we will bring our heads to you."

"Hahaha, good! Same as yesterday. The four of you will each be in charge of one side."

…

At this time, on the city wall, the guarding generals were waiting in rows for their arrival.

Dong Zhuo's current army is inferior to the defenders in terms of the number and quality of soldiers, as well as the number and quality of generals.

Fortunately, the siege was not dead.

The four generals were well prepared, but unfortunately they faced stubborn resistance on the city wall. After climbing hard for half a day, they still returned empty-handed.

This time it’s not impossible to win.

No matter how they climbed up the city, they couldn't get close to the city wall.

In the end, they lost thousands of people and retreated again.

"General, there are too many defenders in the city."

"A lot? Can it be more than us?"

"Master, even if they have fewer troops than us, they won't be defeated in a short time."

"Then surround them. Don't attack for now. Wait until the city runs out of food. They definitely don't have much. If we just siege them, the morale of the people in the city will definitely plummet."

After hearing Li Su's suggestion, Dong Zhuo also felt that this made sense.

"That's right. Give them some time first. When they run out of food, they will definitely think of breaking out."

After making this decision, Dong Zhuo began to wait and see.

And this wait lasted for a month.

At this time, the million-strong army in the city really had no food.

They had already distributed all the food to the people.

"Lord, we are out of food."

"No problem, I'll fill your granary. Just remember to pay."

“Yes, yes.”

This money was not Zhang Jue's, but belonged to other generals.

Zhang Jiao was already Feng Yun's subordinate, so the system certainly couldn't let the generals hand over the money to Zhang Jiao.

"My lord, it has dragged on for a month, and Dong Zhuo has attacked several times during this month."

"Well, they'll retreat soon. We just have to hold on."

"That's easy."

Not to mention anything else, Dong Zhuo has already lost tens of thousands of people during the siege.

There were only a few hundred people in the city.

Dong Zhuo couldn't stand the stalemate any longer.

With the numerical advantage, it was extremely easy for the defenders to defend the city. However, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, there were indeed too many defenders in the city.

But he didn't realize that the other party was just draining him.

The reason why Fengyun did not allow the Yellow Turban generals in the city to take the initiative to attack was because he did not want to fight against the imperial court.

He was also thinking of recruiting all these generals. If there were too many losses, he would be very distressed.

In addition, he knew that Liu Hong had been angry last time because of Dong Zhuo's defeat at Julu.

If Zhang had not asked them to appease Liu Hong, he might have ended up like Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi is still imprisoned.

Although he was not executed, Liu Hong was a man who cared about his reputation.

Fengyun thought that he must make Dong Zhuo suffer another defeat this time.

To drag him out until he can no longer do anything.

On the other hand, the imperial army cannot be attacked too harshly, lest the imperial court send another large army to encircle and suppress them.

He had to grasp the right balance, so he just resisted and didn't attack.

It was easy to deal with the situation inside the city, but not so easy outside the city.

"Marshal, the damn eunuch is here again."

Dong Zhuo was still unclear about the reason for his visit, but he could only pretend to be compliant.

"You can't do that. Just greet me with a smile, okay?"

As he was speaking, a eunuch came with a cold aura.

"His Majesty has issued an order, ordering you, Dong Zhuo, to capture Jian'an as soon as possible, otherwise you will be punished by military law."

"Yes, yes, yes."

As he said this, he stepped forward and handed over a bag of copper coins.

"Eunuch, please ask the eunuchs to speak well of His Majesty. I will be grateful."

After receiving the money, the eunuch finally smiled.

"General, this is a difficult matter. Last time in Julu, several eunuchs spoke highly of you. If you can't take Jian'an, they will be helpless."
