Since Dong Zhuo decided to attack Quyang City, Liu Chang quickly left the place with his men and found a dangerous place in the southeast to re-establish the camp.

Zhang Fei said: "Brother, are we just watching Dong Zhuo go to attack the city here?"

Liu Chang explained to Zhang Fei: "I am waiting for Dong Zhuo to fail to attack the city. He will not be able to defeat Quyang City by blindly attacking. If he followed the advice of Prefect Guo, he would be able to surround the place. It is estimated that within half a year, he would definitely be able to force Zhang Bao out of the city. Such a strong attack will only consume his strength."

Zhang Fei said in confusion: "If Dong Zhuo fails, we should still not be able to take down Quyang City, right?"

Liu Chang explained: "So I have to wait for Huangfu Song to defeat Guangzong City. According to his practice in the south, once he breaks Guangzong City, he will definitely be free from chickens and dogs. At that time, the city is short of food and grass, and after the potatoes and corn have matured before, we can persuade them to surrender. At that time, whether to follow me or be destroyed by Huangfu Song to break the city wall as soon as possible. I think they must know how to choose. There are tens of thousands of people in Quyang County, and many of them are people who have been through battle formations selected by General Dong Zhuo for us. As long as we can absorb these people, our strength will definitely be greatly improved."

Zhang Fei asked: "Will it cause dissatisfaction from the court just to rashly absorb so many rebels?"

Liu Chang asked in a plain tone: "Yide, do you think the world will be peaceful after we wipe out the Zhang Jiao brothers?"

Zhang Fei also answered confidently: "Since my brother asked this question, I think it's impossible."

Liu Chang smiled and said, "This is not the end, or even the beginning, but just the end of the beginning. The troubled times have just begun. The next time is the era of heroes rising together. We have to seize every opportunity to strengthen ourselves."

In the tent under Quyang City.

After Dong Zhuo assigned a task to Guo Dian, he came to his generals and sergeants. He looked at the group of people under his command and said, "We are all burdened with the emperor's kindness, how can we not repay him with death? Now Zhang Bao is occupying Quyang, but the city wall is not high, so we should be able to break it."

All the soldiers also echoed loudly: "We should kill this thief for the Emperor."

Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have ordered Guo Dian to prepare the siege equipment. When he is ready, we will attack this city directly. All the soldiers will go down and rest first."

A few days later, Dong Zhuo prepared all the siege equipment. So Dong Zhuo gathered troops to prepare for forcibly siege the city.

Dong Zhuo was wearing armor and rode on the horse with a serious expression and looked at the nearby Quyang County. He was surrounded by generals and schoolmen. Behind him was a huge army, all of whom were brave.

On the other side, Zhang Bao stood on the city wall and watched the troops gathered by Dong Zhuo and said to the Yellow Turban soldiers beside him: "This thief tried to force his attack on us, but he didn't know that this place was strong. We must let their offensive be defeated. The soldiers, it is time to express our anger. Heaven is dead, and Huang Tian should stand."

The Yellow Turbans surrounded Zhang Bao and began to shout: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." Soon, this shout came from the entire Quyang County. For a moment, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly boosted.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and ordered everyone around him: "Attack."

Then the lieutenants around him commanded their soldiers to start siege the city. The soldiers held their shields and pushed the siege ladder forward. After the soldiers pushed forward for a while, the enemies on the city wall began to shoot arrows downwards, and the arrows fell on the attacking soldiers like raindrops. Some were blocked by the shields, and some completed their mission. For a moment, screams came out from time to time.

The soldiers forced the siege ladder to advance to the city wall with the rain of arrows. One by one, the soldiers fell down, and another soldier took over. In this way, the siege ladder walked forward slowly and firmly. Twenty steps, ten steps, five steps, three steps, and one step. Finally, the siege ladder hit the side of the city wall.

Dong Zhuo shouted loudly: "Those who first boarded will receive 100,000 yuan, and rush forward to me. Those who kill Zhang Bao can be granted the title of marquis."

The soldiers surrounded the siege ladder rushed up one by one.

Zhang Bao also shouted loudly here: "Catch all the enemy troops and use the fire-driven objects. Burn all the enemy's siege ladders."

The Yellow Turban Army on the city wall also fought with the enemy with weapons.

Liu Chang looked at Qu Yang and said to Zhang Fei, "Yi De, do you think there will be corpses everywhere under Qu Yang City?"

Zhang Fei said to Liu Chang with certainty: "It must be like this. It was like this when we guarded Dingzhou before."

Liu Chang looked into the distance, as if listening to the shouts of killing coming from the wind.

Zhang Fei asked in confusion: "Brother, I heard that Grandpa Guo suggested that General Dong dig a trench to surround Zhang Bao. I think this plan is a perfect plan. Why didn't Dong Zhuo adopt it?"

Liu Chang explained: "Of course it was for his own glory and wealth. Lu Zhi was dismissed for the reason that he had not been able to conquer Guangzong County for a long time. Dong Zhuo naturally had to consider the emperor's idea."

The sky gradually darkened, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers could not attack the city wall, and the blood had dyed the city wall red. Under the city wall there were corpses everywhere. The rest of the people were still rushing towards the city wall, but the offensive was no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning. At this time, the soldiers on both sides were already very tired. However, Zhang Baofang defended the city after all, and his advantage was greater.

Guo Dian walked towards Dong Zhuo worriedly when he saw this situation.

When he walked to Dong Zhuo, he found that Dong Zhuo's face was not very good, so he tried his best to say in a careful tone: "General Dong, it's too late now, and the soldiers are hungry and exhausted. You can't force them to attack the city anymore. Otherwise, there will be something unbearable."

Dong Zhuo also knew in his heart that there was no way to fight again today, so he could only say to Guo Dian hatefully: "Then you order to withdraw the troops." After that, he turned around and left.

Guo Dian said to all the generals and officers: "Mingjin withdraws his troops, call back all the soldiers, and reminds those who are watching tonight to be prepared to avoid Zhang Bao taking the opportunity to go out of the city to attack us."

Hearing that there was no need to continue siege today, everyone's faces were filled with joy and said hurriedly: "Premier Guo is at ease. We will definitely arrange the soldiers who are watching tonight, so that Zhang Bao will not find an opportunity to take advantage of it."
