Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

When Ding Yuan saw Leping's cavalry go out of the city to fight with his own cavalry, he immediately realized that he might have been too cautious, so he immediately sent another thousand-man cavalry to help in the battle.But before the cavalry arrived, the battle under the city gate was over. The Leping cavalry quickly retreated into the city with a female general in their arms, and then closed the city gate tightly.

After listening to the report of the defeated cavalry, Ding Yuan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. If he had been bolder just now, he might have captured the city gate by ordering thousands of cavalry to charge, and the Battle of Leping would be over.However, there is no regret medicine in the world that can make people come back. At this time, Ding Yuan had to face Leping's city wall and prepare to attack the city.

In order to hurry up, Ding Yuan led an army composed of light cavalry, only carrying dry food, and did not carry any heavy equipment for siege. Although the city wall of Leping was not very strong, it was not impossible for Ding Yuan to capture it. easy job.

While Ding Yuan ordered people to cut down trees and make simple ladders, he sent envoys to the city to shout that he hoped that Leping would surrender without a fight.Ding Yuan knew that sooner or later Chen Chu would get the news that he led the army to raid Leping, and he also knew that Chen Chu would definitely send powerful soldiers to the rescue, and he also knew that if these soldiers of his own were to fight against the Zhengbei Army, which was hailed as the tiger and wolf army by the world, There is no chance of winning at all, so Ding Yuan does not want to procrastinate under Leping City for a long time. It is best for Leping to surrender under his own pressure. [

However, there are usually nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world.Ding Yuan's envoy had just arrived at the base of the city, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Rui shot him off his horse with an arrow, and cheers erupted on the city wall.Zhang Rui frowned as he looked at Ding Yuan's army under the city, ready to attack.The reason why she didn't give the other party a chance to speak just now was because she was worried that the other party's words would shake the morale of her own army. At present, Leping's defenders are all militias. When their own side is at a disadvantage, the morale of these militiamen is easily influenced by the outside world. .

After Ding Yuan learned that the envoy had been killed, he was furious, and immediately ordered the army to attack the city regardless of the insufficient number of ladders.Although counselors advised him, it didn't work.

The soldiers of Ding Yuan's army roared and rushed towards Leping carrying the four ladders that had just been made in a hurry.Although Leping's city walls are neither high nor thick, it would be a bit of a joke to capture it with only four ladders.

The soldiers of Ding Yuan's army held the ladder and quickly approached the city wall. At 200 meters and 100 meters, the crossbowmen on the city wall bent their bows and set arrows, watching Ding Yuan's army below the city, waiting nervously.

50 meters. "Fire the arrows!" Zhang Ruijiao shouted, and then there was only a buzzing sound, and arrows as dense as migratory locusts poured down.

The distance between 50 meters and 20 meters is the most lethal area for the defenders' crossbowmen. If it is far away, the strength is not enough. If it is close, the crossbowmen will be affected by their own city walls and have to lean out every time they shoot. The firing frequency will drop.

Arrow rain submerged into the surging flow of people, and then screams sounded, and the incoming flow of people paused as if they had hit a rock.Then the flow of people seemed to be a little smaller, and they continued to rush towards the city wall.

The militiamen on the city wall kept bending their bows and shooting arrows down, and the Ding Yuan army who was besieging the city kept falling to the ground with arrows.However, Ding Yuan's army did not let anyone slaughter them. Their crossbowmen kept firing arrows at the city wall, and some of the militiamen on the city wall fell to the ground from time to time.But for now, Le civilian soldiers have the absolute upper hand. After all, they are above the city wall and occupy a favorable location.

Although the arrows on the city wall caused a lot of casualties to Ding Yuan's army, Ding Yuan's army finally got under the city wall.

Four ladders climbed up the city wall one after another, and the soldiers of Ding Yuan's army began to ascend the city with their weapons in their mouths.At this moment, there was a sudden roar on the city wall, and when I looked up, I saw stones and trees rushing down.

The soldiers of Ding Yuan's army who were halfway up were knocked down one after another, and a large area of ​​those who had not started to climb the city were also knocked down, and the scene was full of blood and flesh.Suddenly there were two loud bangs of "咔咚". It turned out that the two ladders were broken by the heavy wood. A soldier who was about to climb the city wall felt suddenly empty, and then he was connected to the upper half of the ladder. Falling down, terrified screams echoed in the air.

The siege battle did not go smoothly from the very beginning, two of the only four ladders were destroyed at once, and it was impossible to attack the city wall with the remaining two ladders.Ding Yuan, who was watching the battle not far behind, couldn't help but look livid.

"My lord, let's order the troops to retreat first! Such a hasty attack on the city is of no use except to deplete our own strength!" A counselor urged anxiously.

Ding Yuan's face was cloudy and uncertain. After a long while, he finally nodded heavily, and squeezed out two words between his teeth: "Withdraw!"

Immediately, the golden bell rang, and Ding Yuan's army who was attacking the city couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly retreated from under the city wall.

The Le civilian soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this was their first battle, and everyone was very nervous.

Ding Yuan's army failed to attack the city for the first time, and cheers resounded on the city wall.

However, Zhang Rui, the commander-in-chief, did not show the slightest joy, because she knew that the real and more brutal siege battle had not yet begun.She was really worried about whether she could hold on.

"Wang Han, is there any news about Big Brother and them?" Zhang Rui asked Wang Han beside him lightly. [

Wang Han frowned and shook his head, "Not yet. The last time I received news was after the lord captured Shangdang, and there was no news after that!"

After a pause, Wang Han asked with some concern: "Miss, will my lord come?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Rui nodded affirmatively and said: "I will definitely come!" Then he looked at the distant sky with his eyes, and was in a daze.

In fact, when Chen Chu led the army to leave Bingzhou, he had already released a carrier pigeon to Leping. It was just that the carrier pigeon had a problem on the way, so it took a long time to reach Leping. The news of Chu Yuanjun.

Ding Yuan ordered the army to surround Leping City on all sides to prevent anyone from escaping. At the same time, he sent more people to the mountains to cut wood and make ladders.This time, he learned the previous lesson and was not in a hurry to attack the city.

One night passed, and the soldiers and civilians in Leping had a sleepless night.In fact, Ding Yuan outside the city didn't rest well, he was anxious!The current situation can be described as extremely bad for him. The Northern Expedition Army from the north and the south should have arrived at the city of Bingzhou. He doesn't know how long his city of Bingzhou can be defended?His only hope now is to take down Leping as soon as possible and capture the legendary Mrs. Chen Chu.

When the genius was dim, Ding Yuanjun made a move.Amidst the roar of war drums, teams of Ding Yuan soldiers approached Leping from three directions, north, south, and west, carrying ladders.

"Wake up! Wake up!" The sentinel in charge quickly woke up the militiamen who were dozing off with their weapons in their hands.When the sleepy-eyed militiamen saw the murderous Ding Yuan army outside the city, they couldn't help shuddering and fully woke up.

"Beat the battle drum!" Zhang Rui, who was standing on the top of the city gate, ordered in a cold voice with a frost mask on his face.

Tom Tom Tom! !The war drums on the tower rang tit for tat.The militiamen were encouraged by the drums, and their morale couldn't help but boost.

kill! !When Ding Yuan's army outside the city advanced to a distance of 100 meters, he suddenly yelled and began to charge at full speed.Looking down from the top of the city, it seems that the originally slow waves suddenly accelerated and turned into evil waves.

As before, at the beginning, the crossbowmen of both sides shot at each other, causing casualties to each other, but because Ding Yuan's army was the attacking side, the losses were much heavier.

A moment later, Ding Yuan's army rushed to the bottom of the city and erected a row of ladders along the city wall, creating a spectacular scene.

The soldiers of Ding Yuan's army roared and climbed up the ladder, while the militiamen in Leping threw stones and trees down desperately.

But this time is different from before, this time Ding Yuan's army came prepared, they set up too many ladders!Although the stones and wood thrown from the city wall caused heavy casualties to Ding Yuan's army, they failed to stop Ding Yuan's army from ascending the city.

Standing on the top of the city gate, Zhang Rui couldn't help frowning as he watched Ding Yuan's army densely packed with ants along the wall, his heart sinking continuously.Looking at this posture, Leping City is very difficult to defend!

Ding Yuan's army desperately climbed up the city wall against the stones and logs, and the militiamen who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded and killed them.At the beginning, the militia could suppress the opponent by relying on their superiority in numbers, but as the number of the opponent climbed the city wall increased, the advantage slowly turned to Ding Yuan's army.

At this moment, the militiamen have forgotten their fear, and everyone's eyes are red, fighting desperately.Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the regular army, the aura they displayed at this moment is definitely not inferior to anyone.

Among the chaotic and fighting crowd, there was a slim and graceful figure, she shuttled across the battlefield like a beautiful butterfly, wherever she passed, Ding Yuan's soldiers turned their backs on their backs, and their attacking momentum was immediately frustrated.She is Zhang Rui, the primary target of Ding Yuan's trip, a beautiful and powerful woman.

Encouraged by Zhang Rui's bravery, the militiamen fought the enemy even more desperately. For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate on the city wall.

But the number of enemies is really too much, coupled with the lack of training of the militiamen, their combat effectiveness is limited. Although they all behaved bravely, bravery cannot make up for the gap in combat effectiveness.The militiamen could no longer hold on, and the city wall fell section by section.

"Brothers, the lord has said that as long as Leping is captured, the women and wealth in the city will still be plundered! Work harder! Kill them all and take Leping!" A general of Ding Yuan's army used extremely inflammatory words to the soldiers. They are big.When the soldiers of Ding Yuan's army heard this, their morale was immediately boosted, and everyone's eyes shone like beasts. [

Immediately afterwards, Ding Yuan's army's offensive became more violent, and the militiamen were finally unable to resist the enemy. First, the north city gate fell, and then all the militiamen defending the south city gate died in battle. The blood stained the south city gate dark red, and the south city gate The door fell down immediately.Ding Yuan's army rushed into the city from the north and the south, and the city suddenly burst into flames, and at the same time, the screams of the people and the cries of women were heard.

Zhang Rui, who was fighting bloody at the west city gate, couldn't help feeling anxious and angry when they heard the movement in the city.But at this time, they can't protect themselves, how can they spare themselves to save the people in the city.

The soldiers around Zhang Rui fell one by one, and in the end only Zhang Rui and Wang Han were left. At this time, Wang Han was also seriously injured.

Hundreds of soldiers from Ding Yuan's army forced Zhang Rui and Wang Han to a corner of the city gate and surrounded them tightly.Zhang Rui held the broken Qinggang sword with an extremely angry expression.

"Today I die. Brother will definitely lead the cavalry to tear you into pieces! Avenge me and the entire city's soldiers and civilians!"! ~!
