Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were blocked in front of the four gates of Chang'an City.
Wang Ding stood on the city wall, looking down from a high position to observe the situation of the Xiliang army.
"The enemy has no palace equipment." Gao Shun took a look and said.
Facing Chang'an City, without siege equipment, it is almost impossible to break through the city gate.
Attacking a city is several times more difficult than defending it.
Li Jue and Guo Si also knew that they were not in a hurry to attack the city, but just surrounded Chang'an City.
Wang Ding made a tour and asked everyone to be careful. He himself went to the city to appease the people.
Tens of thousands of people outside the city were gathered into the city. Wang Ding did not want to cause panic, so he asked people to properly arrange these people, and did not do anything to their property.
An order has been passed down long ago, if anyone dares to rob people's finances, they will be beheaded in public.
Wang must thank Dong Zhuo for hoarding hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass. Even if Chang'an City is besieged now, he does not need to worry about insufficient food and grass.
Before the food and grass in the city are exhausted, Li Jue and Guo Si's army will starve to death first.
Wang Ding waited for a day until the sun went down, but Li Jue and Guo Si did not launch an attack.
In the evening, Wang Ding told Gao Shun to be careful of enemy sneak attacks at night.
Gao Shun accepted the promise and went to arrange the defense for the night.
With Gao Shun taking charge of the night watch, Wang Ding felt relieved.
If Li Jue and Guo Si really dared to attack the city at night, they would definitely be beaten to a bloody head.
You can't see anything clearly at night, which is actually even more disadvantageous for the siege party.
Night raids are not that easy.
After a peaceful night, Wang Ding came to the city wall early the next morning.
The garrison on the city wall has been replaced.
Each of them holds a spear in his hand and stands on the wall with an erect posture.
"Aren't you planning to attack the city yet?" Wang Ding was confused.
Logically speaking, time should be on his side. Li Jue and Guo Si should be more anxious than him, and they can't delay it.
And from what Wang Ding knows, Li Jue and Guo Si are not the kind of people who can keep their composure.
"Wenyuan, if it were you, how would you attack the city in this situation?" Wang Ding asked.
He may not take Li Jue and Guo Si seriously, but Wang Ding has not forgotten that there is also a poisonous soldier Jia Xu in the Xiliang army under the city. He cannot be careless.
Zhang Liao said: "The troops are similar in strength and the enemy has no siege equipment. It is almost impossible to break the city by force. If someone is under the city, he will use tricks to break the city."
Wang Dingdao: "What's the plan?"
Zhang Liao said with some embarrassment: "I haven't thought of it yet."
Wang Dingdao: "Then think about it carefully."
After all, Zhang Liao is not a counselor, and he is still young. There is still room for improvement in terms of knowledge and experience.
Wang Ding himself was also thinking about it, and put himself into the enemy army below the city.
If Zhang Liao is inexperienced now, Wang Ding is even more inexperienced.
His only advantage is that he knows the general direction of things.
But now, many things have changed, and Wang Ding's advantage has become even smaller.
Originally it seemed that Lu Bu went out of the city and had a fight with Guo Si, but it seemed that Lu Bu only had a slight upper hand.
After thinking for a long time, he could not figure out how Li Jue and Guo Si could break the city.
Wang Ding had no choice but to ask his soldiers to be careful.
Outside the city, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are all gathered together now.
Li Jue said: "Wen He, now we have a plan to destroy the city."
Chang'an City has not been captured yet, so Li Jue does not respect Jia Xu very much.
Jia Xu said: "You can't attack by force, you can only outwit it."
Guo Bang said: "Please tell me how to use it wisely. We don't have much food and grass, and we can't delay it."
Jia Xu said: "Several generals may contact the soldiers under the former prime minister in the city."
If they want to break through Chang'an City, both sides have about the same strength, so they can only cooperate inside and outside, let the people in the city open the city gate, and then lead their troops into the city.
As long as the city gate is opened, the soldiers guarding the city will be in panic. No one knows how many people in the city have rebelled.
Li Jue said: "Is it possible for you to contact someone?"
No one can guarantee that now that they have surrounded Chang'an City, people in the city can't get out, and they can't get in either.
Li Jue said: "If we can't break the city in three days, then surrender."
They don't have much food and grass, and three days is already their limit.
Wang Ding is very careful, especially at night, Wang Ding will also patrol the city wall.
As a sergeant on night watch, no one dares to neglect his duty.
On the second night, no abnormality was found.
The Xiliang army outside the city is still besieging the city but not attacking.
The people in the city, under Wang Ding's comfort, did not panic.
The people coming in from outside the city have not been oppressed by soldiers these days.
The third night.
After Wang Ding inspected the city wall as usual, he handed over the night defense to Gao Shun and prepared to rest.
But shortly after Wang Ding returned to the house and lay down, Zhang Zhangyu ran in and said: "General, it's bad, there is a rebellion in the city and they want to open the city gate."
Wang Ding was startled, picked up his clothes, and ran out before he had time to put them on.
"Which city gate is it at?" he asked hurriedly.
Zhang Yu said: "At the east city gate."
Wang Ding walked and put on his clothes. When he arrived at the door, Chen Shan had already brought the bay-red horse over.
Wang Ding got on his horse and headed towards the east gate with four hundred personal guards.
Soon I heard the sound of fighting coming from the city gate.
Wang Ding soon arrived at the city gate.
I saw a wave of people attacking the city gate, trying to open it from the inside.
They launched suddenly, and there were only a few dozen soldiers under the city gate, struggling to hold on.
Gao Shun had also brought his people here a long time ago and was fighting with the rebellious Xiliang army.
Even though the number of the rebel Xiliang army was small, the city gate only had such a small space and they were crowded together. Gao Shun was not able to clear out all the rebel Xiliang army in a short time.
Fortunately, they were discovered in time. The Xiliang army that had declared rebellion was blocked here. There were dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate, and the rebels were not able to open the city gate so easily.
When Wang Ding saw Gao Shun's figure, he immediately felt relieved. He did not bring anyone to join him, but instead led his bodyguards to climb the city wall.
Outside the city, Li Jue had also appeared under the city wall with his army. When the city gate opened, he rushed in with his soldiers and horses.
Wang Ding climbed onto the city wall and immediately commanded the soldiers on the wall to shoot at the bottom of the city with bows and crossbows.
Li Jue was waiting for the city gate to open. Unexpectedly, a shower of arrows flew over his head. Fortunately, he was very strong. He waved his spear above his head and deflected all the arrows.
But not everyone of the other Xiliang troops behind him had the same ability as him, and they were all shot dead.
Li Jue quickly turned his horse's head and shouted: "Retreat, retreat."
Soon all the Xiliang troops under the city withdrew.
In the city, all the rebel Xiliang troops were killed by Gao Shun.
Wang Ding came down from the city and asked: "Who rebelled?"
Gao Shundao: "This is Wang Fang of the old tribe of Xiliang. The last general failed to defend the city, please ask the general to punish him."
Wang Ding said: "The king's rebellion cannot be blamed on you. The general did not make a fuss in the face of danger. What's the crime? If it hadn't been for Bo Ping, I'm afraid Li Jue would have broken into the city tonight."
