Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Li Zhong looked at the endless black men and horses under the city wall. The sound of the opponent's drums made his heart beat wildly on the city wall.

Wei Bang sat on horseback and shouted arrogantly towards the people on the city wall: "Li Zhong, you only have 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city. We have only 300,000 troops here. It's enough to flatten your Ningcheng. What's wrong with you?" Why seek death, why not open the city gate and share this country together."

Li Zhong smiled scornfully: "Weibang, what qualifications do you, a treasonous traitor, have to talk to me? With the salary from the court, you actually opened the door for the enemy, sending innocent people into the hands of the enemy, and letting those traitors trample on you at will. compatriots."

"If you ever think about Ningcheng, you have to step over my body."

Wei Bang was not offended by Li Zhong's words, but instead persuaded the soldiers on the tower: "Brothers, we all work for others. We will also sit on the throne where the Situ family sits. You don't want to You are making unnecessary resistance. If you surrender today, the Beiliao people have promised that they will never touch any plant or tree in the city."

"If you don't listen to the advice and insist on fighting, the day we capture Ningcheng will be the time of bloodbath in Ningcheng."

Li Zhong looked at Wei Bang with red eyes and said loudly: "Don't listen to him. The day they opened the gate of Yancheng, they allowed the Beiliao people to burn, kill and loot, turning Yancheng into a hell on earth."

"Sirs, behind us are thousands of compatriots. If we cannot guard this city gate today, we will be the most shameful record in history. Even if we die on this city tower, we will never let these thieves enter. The city slaughtered our people."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers on the tower all had firm eyes, looking at the people below with high aura. Although they were smaller in number than the other party, their aura was not low at all.

Seeing that there was no hope of persuading him to surrender, Amul sat on his horse and said lazily: "If you don't drink a toast, you will have to drink a fine wine and attack the city!"

The war drums were beaten loudly, and the shouts of killing instantly resounded through the sky. Outside the city, there were endless figures of people slowly advancing towards the city gate. The wooden carts used to attack the city were pushed forward by a group of soldiers.

Li Zhong waved his hand, and a row of archers had already been arranged neatly on the city tower. Everyone had their bows fully drawn. Just waiting for the general's order, they would release their right hands without hesitation and let those The arrow that leaves the string hits the enemy's heart.

Seeing the enemy troops getting closer and closer, Li Zhong waved his hand and fired arrows like a rain curtain at the soldiers under the city wall, and the two sides officially started fighting.

The arrows stained with kerosene were like sickles, constantly harvesting the lives of Bei Liao soldiers under the city wall. The city wall was soon filled with corpses, and scarlet blood stained every inch of the land below.

The soldiers on the city tower were also injured and even died. Although the soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty faced the high city wall, they did not retreat at all. Group after group of troops faced the difficulty, and soon some soldiers climbed up the city tower.

Li Zhong led his men to fight desperately, ruthlessly killing the soldiers who climbed up the tower and throwing their bodies off the tower.

He knew that the enemy was outnumbered, and their only advantage was the city tower. Ningcheng was the last line of defense for the capital. Situ Lin, who was still the prince, personally supervised the construction of the city tower back then. The thickness of the city wall was comparable to that of the city wall that resisted the Northern Liao people. Yancheng.

As the person who built the city wall with Situ Lin, Li Zhong knew very well that as long as he guarded the city gate and did not go out, the enemy would be unable to do anything to him.

Although 50,000 people are not as good as the opponent's 300,000, he has a geographical advantage, and he has already sent people to rush to the capital. As long as he can hold on for a few days, he will have soldiers and horses to support him.

However, as a border guard, how could Wei Bang not know Li Zhong's thoughts? They must capture Ningcheng before the troops from the capital arrive.

Otherwise, they might never have the chance to cross Ningcheng's line of defense.

The war is still going on, and the killings are still endless.

The shouts of killing outside the city wall shook the sky, and the soldiers inside the city wall resisted desperately. Seeing the enemy troops coming like a tide, ladders were set up on the towers.

"Quick, lift their ladder and don't let them climb up." Li Zhong shouted in a hoarse voice: "Move quickly!"

Group after group of soldiers threw logs and stones from the tower. Before the enemy soldiers on the ladder could react, they were smashed and screamed. Those soldiers finally climbed up the tower and were waiting for them. Some were stabbed in the head, and some fell off the ladder as soon as they climbed halfway.

Those Beiliao people didn't seem to be afraid of death, and they still rushed forward one after another, rushing up wave after wave.

"Kill me, the king, and kill those stubborn people. Once you enter Ningcheng, I will let you massacre the city for three days. The women inside can enjoy it as they please. Whoever grabs the gold, silver, and jewelry belongs to whom!"

The fourth prince Amuda was standing on horseback not far from the city tower, shouting at the top of his lungs.

These words seemed to inject endless power into the soldiers of Beiliao. They were not afraid of death and crazily carried the logs and hit the city gate crazily.

Seeing that the enemy's offensive was getting more and more crazy, Li Zhong pulled out the arrow and shouted loudly:

"Soldiers, the people in the city are all our relatives. If a Beiliao person is let in today, tomorrow this city will be stained with the blood of our relatives. Are you willing to see your relatives insulted by these thieves!"

"Can't! Can't! Can't!"

"The imperial court's support will reach Ningcheng within three days. We only need to hold on for three days. After three days, we will open the city gate and fight to the death with the group of thieves outside."

"This general will swear to defend this tower to the death, stand with you, and never take a step back!"

The blood in the hearts of the soldiers was aroused, and everyone shouted with the determination to die: "Never retreat! Never retreat!"

The battle lasted from morning to midnight, and the Bei Liao army finally retreated.

The soldiers in Ningcheng finally had a chance to breathe, but they knew that this was just the beginning, and every day in the future would be more difficult than this day.

However, the opponent did not retreat far, but instead set up camp under the city tower, lit a bonfire, set up an iron pot, and began to drink and eat meat.

The soldiers guarding the city wall were eating dry steamed buns and drinking cold water, but they still stood upright.

The cold wind from the border had already crossed the northern grasslands and reached Ningcheng. The cold wind caught on the city wall and made the military flags whistle. Li Zhong looked at the clusters of bonfires under the city wall and remained silent.

He had been a general for twenty years, but he never thought that one day those barbarians from Northern Liao would be able to invade Ningcheng. Fortunately, the current emperor had the foresight to build the most stable city wall and stationed 50,000 soldiers to garrison Ningcheng.

In every war in the past, they had gone to support Yancheng, but now the generals stationed in the border towns actually brought the thieves home for their own selfish purposes.

The night was like ink, and the tragic scenes during the day and the blood-stained land had long been covered up by the thick darkness of night, but the impact of the war was deeply ingrained in the hearts of everyone in Ningcheng. The entire Ningcheng was brightly lit tonight, and even Ordinary people dare not turn off their lights, for fear that what they are waiting for is the cold blade of the enemy.
