There was no progress in the siege of Peng City. Sun Jian wanted to send out his special forces, the Tiger Soldiers, but Cheng Pu also stopped him. In truth, this was also to help Sun Jian preserve his strength. At this moment, the Imperial Seal was in Sun Jian's hands. For this reason, Sun Jian's forces could be said to have put in a lot of effort to strengthen themselves and claim supremacy.
The Tiger Soldiers could be said to be the trump card of Sun Jian's troops. Ever since they were activated, Sun Jian had never stopped training and improving these special forces. At this moment, one-third of Sun Jian's fifty thousand Tiger Soldiers had reached Seventh Grade, while the rest were all Sixth Grade.
Such a level of strength should be second to none in the entire Three Kingdoms region or any other region of civilization. In fact, Seventh Grade soldiers could be considered the highest level of soldiers at this stage. Apart from a small portion that Yang Rui had brought out from the Tower of Civilization, no one else had soldiers of this level.
Thus, Cheng Pu stopping Sun Jian from sending these soldiers to attack the city seemed very normal.
All this time, Sun Jian had played the role of Yuan Shu's lackey. At this moment, if he could borrow the strength of Qing and Yan Provinces and take down Xu Province together with Yuan Shu, it would naturally be a good thing. In that way, whether it was Sun Jian or Yuan Shu, the territory that they could fight for would be much more extensive.
However, in comparison, Sun Jian's first priority was to break away from Yuan Shu's influence while obtaining a satisfactory territory. He needed to independently conserve his strength and develop. During this process, one of the prerequisites was to have sufficient strength.
"Order the soldiers to stop attacking the city. I will go and discuss with the governor about the siege."
After Cheng Pu's reminder, Sun Jian seemed to have thought it through. In the end, he gave up on sending the Tiger Soldiers to attack the city. He even pulled down all the soldiers that were involved in the construction outside the city and rode alone to find Yuan Shu.
Not long after, not only did Sun Jian's troops stop attacking the city at the north gate, Yuan Shu's troops at the other three gates also stopped. Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's second attack on Peng City was also fruitless.
"Creak …"
"…"
"…"
"…"
Just as Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops retreated out of the range of Peng City's archers and the moat, a series of creaking sounds could be heard from all four gates of Peng City.
Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops turned back.. . and realized that the drawbridges of Peng City's moat had been pulled up.
When they saw that the drawbridges of Peng City's moat had not been pulled up, they thought that they had not been repaired for a long time and could not be used. It was only now that Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops realized that the drawbridges of the moat could still be used.
Xu Province had a lot of water. As the governing area of Xu Province, Peng City's moat was both wide and deep. The distance between the moat and the city walls was very narrow. The entire moat was very effective in protecting the city.
One could imagine that if Liu Bei's troops had pulled up the drawbridges from the start. If Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops wanted to attack the city, it would definitely be more difficult.
However, Liu Bei did not do so the first two times. The reason behind this was worth pondering. It seemed that Liu Bei's troops wanted to test the strength of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops.
The moment the four suspension bridges were pulled up, Sun Jian happened to be together with Yuan Shu who was at the south gate. Naturally, the two of them saw this situation and were slightly stunned at the same time. Then, they deeply frowned.
From the start, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian did not place Liu Bei in their eyes. The two of them thought that they would be able to defeat Liu Bei quickly and chase him out of Peng City. They wanted to take advantage of the terrain and take the initiative. However, they did not expect Liu Bei to be so difficult to deal with.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, it seems that we have underestimated Big Eared Liu this time!"
Sun Jian looked back at the drawbridges outside Peng City from time to time and said thoughtfully.
"…"
"…"
After failing to attack the city twice, Yuan Shu was momentarily speechless. However, this quickly turned into anger.
"Hmph! What a good Liu Bei. Once I take down Peng City, I will teach him a lesson! "
Yuan Shu left behind these vicious words and walked toward the camp outside. He also left Sun Jian behind. Sun Jian shook his head and frowned deeply before following Yuan Shu. He entered the main tent with Yuan Shu and took the initiative to discuss countermeasures with Yuan Shu.
As for why Liu Bei did not use the drawbridges during the two sieges, it was because he wanted to test the strength of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops. On the other hand, Liu Bei wanted to create opportunities for the players to defend the city.
In truth, during the first two sieges by Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, most of Liu Bei's troops were made up of players. Liu Bei had accurately grasped the mentality of the players who wanted to actively participate in the storyline. He also made use of the power of a large number of fans.
For him to dare to do so, it was clear that Liu Bei had great confidence in defending the city. At the same time, he also understood Yuan Shu's temperament. His other goal was to anger Yuan Shu and attack the morale of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops.
Because of this matter, Liu Bei's scheming and ruthless nature was fully revealed.
After noon, be it the Yang Rui, Cao Cao and Lu Bu's camps in Pei Country or Peng City in Xu Province, everything became quiet. There were no more confrontations.
This situation continued until the second day and the third day. In the following two days, the two main battlefields in Xu Province were strangely calm. If it weren't for the existence of several vassal camps, as well as the closed gates of Peng City and a few other important cities, it was almost impossible to see any traces of the storyline.
On the other hand, the other regions in the Three Kingdoms region were more lively. For example, the new city in the northwest. Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops were fighting to the death with Li Jue and Guo Si's troops. The intensity of the battle in the city was even greater than the two clashes in Peng City.
Another example was outside Jiameng Pass. Yizhou's 20,000 troops were about to reach the pass. However, the defenders inside the pass did not seem to know anything.
…
At this moment, the one who understood the situation in Xu Province the most was probably Yang Rui, who owned Sky City. He had been paying attention to the movements of Cao Cao and Lu Bu's troops near their camps.
In fact, because Cao and Lu did not make a move, Yang Rui even had the time to go to Peng City. He also knew the situation in Peng City in detail.
