Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Li Zhong led the Ningcheng defenders to hold on for three full days. During these three days, Beiliao soldiers came one after another. Wave after wave of offensives did not dampen the confidence of the Ningcheng defenders.

But the soldiers in Beiliao could take turns to rest, but the soldiers in Ningcheng could not.

The people in the city knew that once the city gate was broken open by soldiers from the Northern Liao Dynasty, their life would not be much better. All the people spontaneously came to help. The men helped carry equipment and clean up the wounded, while the women ensured logistics and bandaging. wounded.

Soldiers are not replaceable and cannot fight on an empty stomach.

The people of Beiliao also seemed to know that support from the capital was coming soon, and they were also buying time, desperately trying to break through Ningcheng's gate.

The people below the city seemed to not care about their lives at all. They watched the bodies of those around them fall on the battlefield, and the blood stained the land outside Ningcheng red, but they still pushed forward.

The whole battlefield was filled with shouts of killing. Li Zhong's heart was trembling slightly as he looked at the soldiers from Bei Liao getting closer and closer.

Today is already the third day, but there is no news of support from the front. Ningcheng's soldiers have not had a good rest for three days and nights.

The Beiliao army carried out sneak attacks day and night, and everyone was holding on to their last breath, holding on to the belief that someone would come to save them.

But Li Zhong knew in his heart that the three-day period was his expectation for the soldiers. Now that the three-day period has arrived, he himself does not know whether this expectation can be realized.

The enemy is still paving the way forward with corpses, while Ningcheng's soldiers are using their own blood to hold on to the last hurdle.

The cries of killing inside and outside the city wall were shocking. Ladders were constantly being put up on the city wall. All the stones and logs in the city had been exhausted.

The people spontaneously brought soybean oil and soybeans from their homes. Li Zhong ordered people to pour soybean oil on the ladder, and then used rockets to burn the soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty under the city wall to ashes. With the help of the cold wind, the fire burned bigger and bigger, and the tragedy was tragic. The cries kept coming and going.

Seeing the subtle effect of the ladder, the Bei Liao army began to use the city pillars to continuously hit the city gate.

Nowadays, the intense offensive continues from morning to night, and the city pillars are constantly attacking the city gate. Ningcheng's defenders can only use arrows on the city tower, but their sight is blocked at night and they cannot kill everyone who is close to the city gate. .

Li Zhong could only disperse the people on the city tower and let some people guard the city gate. As soon as the city gate was knocked open, they could only resist the enemy's attack with hand-to-hand combat.

Li Zhong was already red-eyed. He had not rested for three days and three nights, and his physical strength was beginning to weaken.

He glanced at the steady stream of enemy troops under the city wall, and then at the people who organized themselves. He cheered up and rushed down the tower quickly.

I saw that the city gate had been knocked open by the enemy. The enemy was frantically slashing at the soldiers who were holding the city gate with their swords.

He picked up the spear on the side and stabbed it hard at the people outside. Seeing this, the people on the side also picked up the spear on the ground and stabbed it hard at the enemy outside the gap.

Although these people were not trained, they took advantage of the city wall and did not let Beiliao's army break through the city gate.

The sky soon lit up little by little, and when the sun broke through the clouds, the enemy's offensive continued. However, at this moment, everyone in Ningcheng was no longer panic-stricken, but instead became high-spirited.

Both the soldiers and the people firmly believed that Ningcheng would not be breached and there would be support.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten that the three-day period had passed and reinforcements had not arrived.

They were still standing on the tower, each doing their best to hold on to their posts.

The shouts of killing outside the city and the sound of military drums still shook the sky, but they did not disturb the determination of the Ningcheng defenders at all.

Even though they are devastated and scarred, their eyes are still firm.

Just when Beiliao's army thought they were certain to win, that the gates of Ningcheng would one day be breached by them, and that the massacre of the city was just around the corner, the land behind them shook inexplicably.

Wei Bang was the first to notice the abnormality. He hurriedly looked at Amul and said, "Your Highness, it's not good. Ningcheng's reinforcements have arrived!"

"How is that possible? It would take a month for hundreds of thousands of troops to gather food and fodder, and the capital has just suffered from an epidemic and a forced labor force. How could reinforcements come so quickly!"

Amul said in disbelief that Li Zhong was right. It had just been three days.

However, on the hilltop in the distance, a big flag with the word "Xia" waving in the sun.

Li Zhong stood on the tower, saw the flag, and shouted to the people below the tower: "Reinforcements are here, open the city gate to meet the enemy!"

The city gate, which had not been opened after being attacked by the Northern Liao army for three days, was now wide open. Li Zhong mounted his horse and rushed out of the city with a group of troops.

The soldiers in the city seemed to be inspired. They picked up their swords and rushed out of the city. This time, they were no longer afraid of enemies several times their size.

Beiliao's army did not seem to expect that they would be surrounded on both sides, and immediately lost control and began to collapse.

Riding at the front was Situ Jin, followed by Shen Yu.

Shen Yu saw Amul riding a tall horse in the crowd at a glance. He struggled to pick up the knife in his hand and slashed at the enemy. The armor on his body was soon dyed bright red. He still fearlessly moved towards Amul was getting closer.

Finally, he was getting closer and closer to Amul. He kept waving the knife in his hand and saw Amul in front of him.

Amuda stepped forward to block his way. Shen Yu's eyes were cold and stern, but he knocked Amuda to the ground in just a few moves.

Seeing that the knife was about to fall on Amuda's head, Amul said at this moment: "Are you planning to kill everything?"

Ayu was startled when he heard this, and Amuda quickly got up from the ground and stood beside Amul.

Shen Yu's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy: "Give me the antidote!"

Amul smiled sinisterly: "I said, as long as you do what I say, I will give you the antidote! Now your opportunity has come, and as long as things are done well, the antidote will naturally be given to you."

As he said this, Amul pretended to fight with Shen Yu, but instead stuffed a note into Shen Yu's arms.

Seeing that Situ Jin's army was overwhelmingly strong and its morale was so high that the troops of Bei Liao were intimidated, Amul hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat.

He fled in panic with the rest of the army.

However, Xia Zhaoguo's army took advantage of this morale and pursued them wildly, capturing two cities in a row, and soon forced Amul's army into Yancheng.

Yancheng, like Ningcheng, is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The walls are tall and thick. Amul is hiding in the city. If he attacks the city by force, not only will he lose his troops, but he will also make the enemy make crazy moves, causing the people of Yancheng to suffer disaster again. .

For a time, the war became stalemate. The Northern Liao army was stationed in Yancheng, while Situ Jin's army was stationed in Lincheng, which was separated from Yancheng by a mountain. The two sides became confrontational.

Because the garrison of Lincheng was killed during Beiliao's attack, Situ Jin took over all the defense of Lincheng.
