The three-way army of Yin Hao's army has launched a fierce attack on the south, east and west gates of Lanling City, and because there is no heavy siege equipment, and the soldiers of Li Ben's army in the city have already prepared, for this reason, the attack of Yin Hao's army has suffered a great setback, and several attacks have failed to attack the wall of Lanling City.

And just when the three-way soldiers and horses of Yin Hao's army launched an attack on Lanling City, the two soldiers and horses under Li Ben's command quietly arrived at the north gate of Lanling City by detour, and entered Lanling City from the north gate.

As a result, Li Ben's legion defending Lanling City was restored to a scale of nearly 5,000 men, which made it even more difficult for Yin Hao's legion to break through the city.

Yin Hao's three-way army attacked for nearly two hours in a row, and saw that Lanling City could not be broken in a short time, so he ordered a retreat and returned to their respective camps, while Li Ben's army was tired all night and had no ability to go out of the city to pursue, so the two sides stopped fighting and truce.

The failure of the siege made Yin Hao realize that with the strong defense of Lanling City, if he wanted to break the city, he had to rely on heavy siege equipment, and at this time, all the heavy siege weapons under construction were burned by Li Ben, which made Yin Hao extremely impatient.

"Li Ben, this old boy's eyes are really vicious, and he can see at a glance the threat of our army's heavy siege equipment to Lanling City, so he used a move to attack the east and west, and transferred our army's soldiers and horses to the right flank, but he sent elite soldiers to raid the left flank and burned all the heavy siege equipment under construction of our army, hateful, really hateful." Yin Hao said angrily.

Obviously, Yin Hao was already annoyed and angry at this time, otherwise, he would not have lost such a big temper in front of his subordinates.

Seeing that Yin Hao was angry, a general hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The general is angry, Li Ben burned our army's heavy siege equipment." But the surrounding woods are not far away, and our army only needs ten days and eight days of work to build a batch of heavy siege equipment again, and once again, the end will be guaranteed by the head of the head that Li Ben will not be allowed to succeed again. ”

"Yes! Checkmate. Lanling City has been surrounded by our army, our army has time, and it is completely possible to build another batch of siege equipment, and Lanling City will be in the pocket of our army sooner or later. Another general said loudly.

Yin Hao naturally understands this truth, but the so-called long nights and dreams are many, in case Li Ben invites reinforcements, the consequences will be strict, besides. Although the time of ten days and eight days is not very long, but at this time, the shape of the imperial court is very severe, Huan Wen is pressing step by step, if he can't do his best to win a battle, it is really difficult to stabilize the situation in the imperial court, let alone guarantee his official position.

"Ten days and eight days are too long, and I would have been worried about long nights and dreams! Isn't there a better way to break through Lanling City? Yin Hao said worriedly.

A henchman will hear this. After hesitating for a moment, he clenched his fists and said, "General." There is still a plan for the last general, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"Speak, but it doesn't hurt to say." At this time, Yin Hao is an ant on a hot pot, and he will listen to any strategy.

The general thought for a moment, clenched his fists and said, "General, our army can adopt the strategy of fire attack." Using the small number of hail carts and giant crossbow arrows available, a large number of ignited flammable materials can be thrown into Lanling City, so as to form a large fire in Lanling City, and in addition, tunnels can be dug under the city. Attacking the city from the bottom, but these two methods are flawed, the use of fire attack will inevitably hurt the innocent, so even if the city wall is breached, it will also make the world criticize, and once the digging tunnel is discovered by the enemy army in the city, it will kill all our soldiers in the tunnel, whether to use, please consider carefully. ”

When Yin Hao heard this, he thought about it for a while, and said loudly: "I can't take care of so much now, just do it, tomorrow night, with fire attack and tunnel strategy, launch an attack on Lanling City, and all the responsibilities will be borne by the general." ”

Obviously, at this time, Yin Hao has completely lost his mind, in order to capture Lanling City, he has completely disregarded the life and death of the soldiers under his command and the people in the city, after all, the capture of Lanling City is the most important, and the other qiē are not important.

When the soldiers under his command heard the order, they immediately began to prepare, and planned to launch an attack on Lanling City at night a day later.

Just when the soldiers under the command of Yin Hao were preparing for the fire attack and digging tunnels, the 30,000 reinforcements of Wei Tong and Le Hong had already arrived in Chengxian County, dozens of miles west of Lanling City, which was only a day's journey away from Lanling City.

In order to investigate the situation around Lanling City, Wei Tong and Le Hong sent scouts to reconnoiter near Lanling City, and learned the basic situation around Lanling City, and prepared to reinforce Li Ben.

On the night of the second day, Yin Hao ordered three legions under his command, clearly in the east, west, and south directions, using the only hail cart in his hand, to launch a fire attack on Lanling City, and at the same time, with the momentum of the attack, secretly dug tunnels not far from the city wall, intending to raid the city from the ground, so as to break through Lanling City.

A small number of thunderbolts threw large and small fireballs into Lanling City, igniting some houses close to the city wall, but due to the timely disposal of the soldiers of Li Ben's army in the city, the fire did not cause much damage to the houses in Lanling City, and only left a small number of people homeless.

The people and horses responsible for digging tunnels, under the cover of many soldiers, dug into the city as quickly as possible, and quickly dug to the bottom of the city wall, Li Ben's army defending the city did not find the tunnel dug by Yin Hao's army, after all, at this time, the houses in the city were set on fire, and a large number of soldiers were clamoring outside the city, so it was impossible to hear the sound of digging tunnels, and the dark sky was even less visible.

Seeing the rapid progress of the soldiers digging the tunnel, Yin Hao was very happy, and ordered his soldiers to prepare to attack Lanling City from the tunnel.

A few hours later, the tunnel outside the south gate was officially dug through, Yin Hao was very happy, and immediately ordered a group of men and horses under his command to prepare to attack Lanling City from the tunnel.

However, at this moment, something big happened in the direction of the West Gate, Wang Wu's army was carrying out the task of attacking the city according to Yin Hao's orders, suddenly, a scout found enemy reinforcements several miles away, and immediately reported to Wang Wu, Wang Wu saw that the enemy army was tens of thousands, his heart was very nervous, and immediately ordered to stop attacking the city, move closer to the direction of the camp, and prepare to deal with Li Ben's reinforcements, at the same time, Wang Wu also sent his henchmen to go outside the south gate to report the situation to Yin Hao.

"General, the enemy army has tens of thousands, and our army is less than 10,000, so it is better to retreat outside the south gate." One of his subordinates looked at Wang Wu and said loudly.

Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Although the enemy army has a lot of reinforcements, they are coming from afar, but our army is waiting for work, so there is no need to worry at all, let the soldiers line up in formation and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

Obviously, Wang Wu believed that the evacuation at this time would definitely result in the end of being pursued and killed by the army of Wei Tong and Le Hong, and even the main force of Yin Hao outside the south gate would also fall into a rout and flee together.

Seeing that Wang Wu's mind had been decided, the generals received the order loudly, and immediately deployed a large army, preparing to rely on the camp to block the attack of tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Wei Tong and Le Hong led 30,000 troops to reinforce Li Ben from afar, not only for the sake of friendship with each other, but also for the fear that after Yin Hao defeated Li Ben's army, they would continue to march north and attack them, so they joined forces to reinforce Li Ben's army, but they only planned to repel Yin Hao's army, and did not want to have a complete decisive battle with Yin Hao's army, so as to avoid a situation of losing both.

At this moment, they came with 30,000 people, and they planned to let Wang Wu take the initiative to evacuate, but unexpectedly, Wang Wu's army not only did not immediately evacuate the encirclement of the west gate of Lanling City, but relied on the camp to prepare to meet his own army.

Wei Tong and Le Hong glanced at each other and said softly: "General Le, the enemy general Wang Wu is defending the camp to the death, it seems that he wants to understand the strength of our army!" ”

Le Hong snorted, and said, "In this case, why don't our army satisfy him, it is better to immediately attack the camp in front." ”

Wei Tong nodded, and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, the whole army will attack, kill ......" After speaking, he waved his sword and let the army under his command launch an attack on the Wang Wu camp in front.

......Under the order of Wei Tong, 30,000 soldiers of the coalition army launched an attack on Wang Wu's camp with lightning speed.

"Release the arrows, release the arrows......" Seeing that the combined forces of Wei Tong and Le Hong were quickly killing the camp, Wang Wu immediately ordered the release of arrows.

"Whoosh...... "Whoosh" a rapid rain of arrows shot at the attacking enemy.

"Hiss......" The cavalry officers and soldiers under the command of Wei Tong and Le Hong were hit by arrows and fell off their horses one after another, and suffered great losses.

However, the loss of 30,000 soldiers was nothing at all, and after several rounds of bow and arrow attacks by Wang's Fifth Army, a large number of enemy infantry rushed to the outside of the camp and launched an attack on the camp.

Wang Wu's soldiers, relying on the solidity of the camp, adopted a combination of shields, bows and arrows, and spears to block tens of thousands of enemy soldiers and horses from the camp.

Just when the Fifth Legion of the King was fighting with the enemy reinforcements, Yin Hao outside the south gate learned the news that the enemy's 30,000 reinforcements had arrived in Lanling City.

Such unfavorable news made Yin Hao very nervous, he originally planned to send 5,000 soldiers to enter Lanling City through the guò tunnel, but at this moment the enemy's 30,000 reinforcements had arrived, he was very afraid that the Wang Fifth Army outside the West Gate would not be able to resist the enemy reinforcements, so that 30,000 enemy reinforcements would enter Lanling City, if the enemy 30,000 reinforcements were really allowed to attack, then Lanling City would have no point in attacking, after all, the soldiers and horses under his command were not capable of defeating the enemy's more than 30,000 troops.

"General, the enemy's 30,000 reinforcements have arrived outside the West Gate, is our army attacking the city as planned?" A general in charge of attacking from the tunnel hurriedly asked.

Obviously, such a general is also aware of the danger of attacking at this time. (To be continued......)
