After Wei Chi Gong carefully selected three thousand elites, he quickly returned to the camp with Fang Qiao to resume his life.

Seeing that Yu Chi Gong and Fang Qiao had finished choosing, Wang Kai suddenly said to Xu Shuang: "Patriarch Xu, my side is ready, and it's up to you next, as long as you can satisfy me, after I defeat Ma Teng, I will restore the status of Bai Ma Yi." ”

"The villain has thanked the general in advance, please rest assured, I will definitely lead your troops through the road."

"Okay, Patriarch Xu will go on the road with Jingde!"

After hearing this, Wei Chigong and Xu Shuang took the order and left at the same time.

After Wei Chigong divided his troops and left, Wang Kai led the army to continue on the road towards Lintao County.

At this time, Ma Dai finally came to the Qiang tribe and began to seek reinforcements for Ma Teng.

This time, Lu Can, the leader of the Qiang people, still did not let go of the opportunity to blackmail Ma Teng.

When Ma Dai faced many unreasonable demands made by Lu Can, he did not agree to Lu Can immediately because he had the right to make decisions on the spot given by Ma Teng, but bargained with Lu Can.

Lu Can saw that Ma Dai was young and wanted to bully him to get more benefits, but when Ma Dai showed maturity that did not match his age, Lu Can understood that if he was insatiable, he would eventually destroy his relationship with Ma Teng, and in the end, Lu Can and Ma Dai negotiated a mutually acceptable result.

After reaching an agreement, Lu Can led 50,000 troops to Didao with Wan Jile as the vanguard.

At the same time, Ma Teng also continued to send troops to Di Dao, because he understood that scattering and defending the city was not a good strategy after all, and it would only allow Wang Kai to break through each one.

Then turn to Jincheng County.

Ever since Han Sui heard Cheng Gongying's speculation, he fell into deep thought.

After a few days, Han Sui finally made up his mind to send an envoy to Ma Teng's station, Di Dao, again.

After sending the envoy, Han Sui also began to draw troops to prepare for the expedition at any time.

Back to Wang Kai's army.

When Wang Kai led his troops to Lintao, Zhou Rui, the general of Lintao, did not abandon the city and flee when he received Ma Teng's order to withdraw his troops, because he planned to repay Ma Teng's kindness with death.

Besides, when Wang Kai found that there was a very wide moat around Lintao County, he suddenly sighed and said: "I didn't expect this small Lintao County to be protected by a moat." ”

Fang Qiao, who was beside Wang Kai, also followed after hearing this: "Lord, it seems that it will take a little more effort to take down this Lintao County." ”

After hearing this, Wang Kai nodded thoughtfully.

Subsequently, Wang Kai ordered to start camping, because it was difficult to break through Lintao County, which had the protection of the moat, overnight.

When Zhou Rui, the guard of Lintao County, saw that Wang Kai's army began to set up camp, he just sighed lightly and continued to patrol, because he knew in his heart that the soldiers who followed him would definitely die or live.

Early the next morning.

As Wang Kai's army rested for the night, he immediately ordered the siege to begin.

As the soldiers moved the ladder forward quickly, Zhou Rui, the guard general of Lintao County, immediately called out the archers and began to shoot at Wang Kai's soldiers who were close to the moat.

The soldiers who rushed to the front had no means of defense, and a large number of soldiers fell on the way to charge after being hit by arrows.

Seeing this tragic situation, Wang Kai was very distressed, because these soldiers were his heart.

After several rounds of continuous assault, Wang Kaijun's soldiers finally had someone put the ladder on the moat.

When Zhou Rui saw that Wang Kaijun's soldiers kept erecting the ladder on the moat, he immediately replaced the archers and replaced them with the soldiers on standby, ready to use stones and rolling logs.

After a steady stream of soldiers approached the tower through the ladder on the moat, the soldiers behind them leaned the ladder up to the tower.

For a time, Wang Kaijun's soldiers began to climb the tower. Jiuhe Library

Seeing this, Zhou Rui immediately commanded his soldiers to start attacking with stones and rolling logs.

After continuously repelling the offensive of Wang Kai's army, Wang Kai saw that the situation was not good and issued a military order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Seeing that Wang Kaijun had retreated, Zhou Rui immediately cheered with his soldiers.

When he saw that the defenders of Lintao County repelled their first day's offensive and cheered like this, Wang Kai's heart was really a little uncomfortable, but Wang Kai was not rash, after all, siege battles are always the besieging side suffers.

After resting for another night, Wang Kai's army also launched a charge against Lintao County again.

This time, Wang Kaijun still failed to conquer Zhou Rui's troops who were defending the city.

On the third day, when Fang Qiao saw that Wang Kai was still planning to storm the city, he immediately said to Wang Kai: "Lord, it is not good for our army to attack like this!" ”

"Xuan Ling, do you have any other way?"

"Lord, this defender makes full use of the convenience of the moat, as long as our army has a slight momentum, they will aim at the cloud ladder on the moat to attack, as long as the cloud ladder is destroyed, our soldiers will not be able to take care of each other and become a live target of the enemy, according to the minister's opinion, we can select some soldiers who are familiar with the water to strengthen the cloud ladder at night, so that in the daytime, if the enemy cannot destroy our army's ladder, then our army can continue to charge."

"Xuan Ling said that you can give it a try, so let's act like this tonight!"

After returning to the camp, Wang Kai immediately selected some soldiers who were familiar with water.

In the middle of the night, Wang Kai immediately asked these soldiers who were familiar with water to carry the ladder and erect it on the moat in Lintao County and strengthen it.

Because the defenders of Lintao County fought fiercely during the day, the soldiers did not notice the movement of Wang Kaijun in the middle of the night.

On the second day, when Zhou Rui found that a ladder bridge had been erected over the moat, he was completely stunned, because from his observations, it would be difficult for the defenders on the city tower to destroy the ladder bridge again.

Just when Zhou Rui was dumbfounded, Wang Kaijun's attack came as scheduled.

Seeing that Wang Kaijun's soldiers charged again, Zhou Rui had no choice but to abandon his bad thoughts and began to block Wang Kaijun's soldiers with all his might.

Although Zhou Rui tried his best to command the soldiers to resist, Wang Kai's soldiers who passed on the ladder bridge were endless.

When more and more soldiers approached the city tower and began to climb, the defenders led by Zhou Rui finally couldn't support it, after all, he only had 5,000 defenders in his hands.

Seeing the steady stream of people from the headquarters ascending the city tower, Wang Kai understood that the time had come to break the city.

Then, Wang Kai ordered Luo Cheng to go out in person to take the city.

After receiving the order, Luo Cheng quickly rode out and joined the charging team.

Soon, Luo Cheng came to the front of the ladder bridge and dismounted and walked forward.

This time, because Wang Kaijun's soldiers had already taken the advantage, Luo Cheng easily climbed the city tower from the cloud ladder.

After going up to the city tower, Luo Cheng began to look for the main general who defended the city.

After looking around, Luo Cheng finally locked on Zhou Rui's figure, after all, the general's costume was very different from that of the soldiers.

Immediately, Luo Cheng rushed to Zhou Rui's side quickly.

When Zhou Rui found that a member of the white armor was about to kill him, he immediately cheered up and greeted him.

Seeing Zhou Rui facing him, Luo Cheng smiled contemptuously and then exchanged hands with Zhou Rui.

In the face of a first-class top general like Luo Cheng, Zhou Rui only insisted on ten moves before he was in a different place.

As Luo Cheng killed Zhou Rui, the resistance of the defenders was suddenly extinguished.

So far, Wang Kai's army has successfully taken Lintao County.
