To Tian Feng, Wen Chou, Shen Pei, Ma Yan and the soldiers in Liaocheng County City, the situation was dire. After Tian Feng's reminder, Wen Chou felt that the situation was getting worse. ¢.
It was as Tian Feng had said. The only thing they could do was wait. If Feng Ji, Hua Yi, and Zhang He could come to Liaocheng County, the situation might turn for the better.
After Shen Pei and Ma Yan's troops met with the situation in Gaotang County City, Wen Chou was leaning towards the worst guess. It was possible that the situation of Feng Ji, Hua Yi, and Zhang He's troops gathered near Yangping County City was not much better. Perhaps it was just like what the secret letter had said.
Furthermore, under normal circumstances, Yuan Shao's troops should have arrived by now. However, facing the encirclement of Liaocheng County City, Wen Chou did not feel confident.
No matter what, it was as Tian Feng had said. They could only wait for the situation to develop further and find an opportunity.
However, Yang Rui didn't give Wen Chou and the other defenders a chance to wait, nor did he send any more generals up to challenge them. After Zhao Yun's two challenges, capturing Jiang Yiqu and fighting Wen Chou to a draw, Yang Rui moved the army in a timely manner, launching a full scale siege from all directions.
Yang Rui had sent Zhao Yun to fight one on one to create an opportunity for the siege weapons.
"Beng! Beng! Beng!
"..."
"Creak! Creak! Creak!
"..."
"..."

The attack once again began at the east gate of Liaocheng County City. Yang Rui's troops outside the east gate split up and the various siege weapons were revealed.
The first to attack were the 40 Large Catapults, 100 Heavy Trebuchets, and 20 Small Trebuchets.
The Large Catapults were the first to let out an explosion. At the same time, the Heavy Trebuchets and Small Trebuchets let out a series of mechanical sounds. It made one's teeth ache when they heard it.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!
"..."
"Hu! Hu! Hu!
"..."
"Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
"..."
"..."
"..."
The projectiles of the large national avalanche first hit the east gate of Liaocheng County and the nearby city walls. "Dong Dong" sounds were heard, and many holes and pits were created.
However, in comparison, the Large Kingdom Destroyer's attack power was considered weak. The Heavy Catapults' destructive power was even more shocking. Large rocks were hurled out by the Heavy Catapults, whistling through the air as they smashed into the city gates and walls. The places where the rocks landed were already filled with smoke and dust. It wasn't as simple as holes and craters.
The Heavy Trebuchets had over 2000 damage, which was more than enough to break through most city walls. The Special City Wall only had 1,600 Defense points. In addition to the Attack Power of the Stone Bullet itself, it could even break through the Defense of the Iron City Wall.
On the other hand, the city of Liaocheng County was three to four levels lower. After being attacked by the heavy trebuchets, it was quickly smashed into smithereens. If not for the smoke and dust, one could even see the city walls being reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing the Liaocheng County City that originally belonged to him being destroyed by his own hands, Yang Rui felt very uncomfortable.
Or perhaps Yang Rui could slowly wear down Tian Feng, Wen Chou, and the other Yuan Shao troops, under the circumstances of surrounding but not attacking. If he didn't surround them, he would just use up all the food in the city and would not need to attack.
However, this was the [Xu Province Battle]'s Storyline. It was obvious that attacking the city directly would take the shortest time and was also the most effective method.
Otherwise, the longer the time dragged on, the more variables there would be. At least Yang Rui could confirm that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were working together. This point could be seen from the fact that Yuan Shao chose to 'help' Cao Cao. If Cao Cao gained a foothold in Xu Province, Yang Rui's situation would become even more complicated.
"Hu! Hu! Hu...
"..."
"Kacha! Kacha! Kacha... "
"..."
"Putong!"
"..."
"..."
Liaocheng County's East City Gate Tower and the nearby city walls were being destroyed piece by piece. The height of the city walls was constantly decreasing. Some parts of the city walls had already had large gaps, and the city gate tower had also quickly collapsed. However, it was unknown if Tian Feng, Wen Chou, and the others who were still standing on the city gate tower had left in time!
Following a loud 'putong' sound, the drawbridge outside Liaocheng County City's East City Gate was shot down, directly crossing the moat.
"Order the small trebuchets to stop firing!"
After the drawbridge was shot down, Yang Rui quickly ordered people to stop the 20 small trebuchets from continuing to attack.
Compared to the heavy trebuchets, the small trebuchets were not as powerful. In fact, their range and power could not compare to the large trebuchets, but the small trebuchets were still able to deal 500 damage.
The destructive power of this attack was not bad.
After the drawbridge was shot down, due to the range and deviation, the small trebuchets' attacks could continue to damage the drawbridge. It might even cause inconvenience for the siege, so Yang Rui ordered them to stop.
"Hu! Hu! Hu... "
"..."
"Kacha! Kacha! " "Kacha..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The heavy trebuchets and the large trebuchets were still attacking. From the start of the attack, only an incense's time had passed, and they had already reduced the height of the city walls by 2/3.
Furthermore, the messy piles of soil and rocks had buried the remaining 1/3 of the city walls. If they were to forcefully attack the city now, there was no need for wooden ladders and other siege weapons. The soldiers could charge into the city with their bare hands!
On Yuan Shao's side, ever since Yang Rui launched an all-out attack on the city, the number of soldiers on the city gates and nearby walls who weren't affected was extremely small. Many soldiers didn't even have time to react before they were smashed to death or buried alive.
The two commanders, Tian Feng and Wen Chou, were also the first to bear the brunt of the attack. The first wave of rocks and the large trebuchets were shot out with them as the core.
If not for Wen Chou's quick reaction, when the first wave of trebuchets came, he would have pulled Tian Feng down the city walls. No matter how strong the two of them were, they would not have been able to escape unscathed.
With the 10 meter tall city walls of Liaocheng County City, it was not difficult for Wen Chou. Even if he carried a person and jumped down, he would not suffer any injuries. However, the trebuchets and rocks that followed directly smashed into Tian Feng and Wen Chou.
