In the early morning, the sun shone behind the dense dark clouds on the west side of Leling Castle. Leling was a county seat in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, controlling the main road from the old Yellow River to the sea, which is also considered a dangerous place. The moat is wide and the walls are towering.

Although the Jin soldiers went south many times, they were on the East Hebei Road, not the main road for the Jin soldiers to go south, and many displaced people on the West Road fled to the East Road, so the population here did not decrease but increased.

After being repeatedly ravaged by the Jin soldiers, several recent governors have abandoned their posts and fled. After the Song Dynasty basically gave up control of Leling, several local tycoons: Lijiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang, Qiaojiabao, etc., began to rely on the advantages of being rooted in the local area to begin to control this former Dayi.

In the case of the dragons without a leader, the Qiao family first proclaimed themselves the city lord, and more than 8,000 families protected themselves in this former county seat. After Huyan Geng restored Binzhou, Leling immediately became chaotic, and the faction loyal to the Song court immediately killed the head of the Qiao family who surrendered to the Jin soldiers and showed favor to Huyan Geng.

With Huyan Geng's killing of Zhang Yiqian, he wanted to implement a new armor in the whole territory of Hebei East Road, change the land and grant land, and Zhujiazhuang, which participated in the uprising in Leling City, was also pushed out of the city and retracted back to Zhujiazhuang. At this moment, Li Yingzheng, the new city lord of Leling, and the newly appointed Baojia Yu Marquis stood on the city wall, looking at the golden soldiers who were clamoring to attack below.

"Jin Bing doesn't know what he wants, it has been three days since the day he arrived at Leling City. but they have been besieging but not attacking. Is there something else going on? Li Ying looked at the Jin Bing below, secretly calculating in his heart. Among these golden soldiers, there may be the children of the Qiao family of the previous city lord who were driven away. If the city is broken, his two sons and himself are afraid that they will not be able to escape the disaster.

"These centaurs in front of you may not be enough to attack the city." Jiao Ting shook his head. Jiao Ting was originally the forbidden army of Jingdong, when the Jin soldiers went south for the first time, he was ordered to gather reinforcements in the prefectures and counties of Hebei, but he found all the cottages in Jingdong, Hebei, but there was no one who was willing to follow him down the mountain to reinforce Bianliang. Jiao Ting called himself "the most faceless in his life".

After Hu Yangeng gained a firm foothold in Cangzhou, Jiao Ting went to defect, because of his good skills, Xuanzan allocated a cadre of Song army rout soldiers to ask him to control.

Although under the leadership of Hu Yangeng, he has participated in many battles with Jin Bing, but the results are pitiful in front of the other battalions.

As a person who wants to wash away his "faceless" nickname, Jiao Ting was left by Zhang Yancheng in Leling to develop armor protection, so he worked hard to train armor guards, trying to make his army, which has many experience in dispersing, become an army that can fight well.

Although Li Ying was not at ease with Zhang Yancheng's armor protection system, he just gathered some people and homeless people and handed them over to Jiao Ting for training, and did not let Jiao Ting participate in the field teaching, but Jiao Ting was full of confidence and could rely on the armor guards to defend Leling.

"Woo~" Before Jiao Ting's confident words fell, the sound of the horn blew, and the Jin soldiers, who had been besieging the city without attacking, suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something, and swarmed towards Leling.

Long arrows flew out of the golden soldiers' positions with a roar, and in an instant, the earthen city walls were covered with random arrows. The sound of "bang" and the screams of the soldiers were endless. Jiao Ting pulled Li Ying behind a shield, holding a small shield, and shouted loudly.

The bell on the castle struck violently, and the well-trained armor guards were hiding on the city walls, waiting for the Jin soldiers to attack, while the panicked Li Ying's family was in a mess, fighting back with various tools in their hands in the rain of arrows.

Jiao Ting pulled Li Ying by the hand, and his own soldiers guarded the gap in front of the city wall, and slowly moved forward, calming the somewhat hysterical Li family Zhuangding.

"Steady, there are not many golden soldiers, don't be alarmed!" The continuous shouting gave the soldiers on the city wall a sense of peace of mind, and also made the Jin soldiers below notice this piece of moving shield. The long arrow roared towards the location of Jiao Ting and Li Ying.

In a flash, Jiao Ting rolled under the women's wall with Li Ying. The long arrows instantly landed on the place where the group of people belonged, and the shields of several pro-soldiers were full of long arrows, and the exposed parts were all injured.

"Master Li, it's okay." A sharp arrow grazed his scorched right leg, he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, and while bandaging the wound, he looked at Li Ying, who was a little pale.

"I'm fine." Li Ying leaned on the city wall, looking at the chaotic arrows covering the entire Leling city wall, his face was pale, and his voice was a little trembling: "I don't know when the reinforcements of the Lord will arrive." ”

Jiao Ting looked at this Haoqiang, and wondered how these Haoqiang survived. He comforted him: "The general has sent troops, and he will be able to arrive tomorrow at the latest." The main battle is invincible, four formations of soldiers and horses, and 10,000 gold soldiers are enough to break the city. ”

Li Ying heard that the soldiers and horses of the four towns were about to come to support with 40,000 troops, and the fear in his heart was alleviated. Suddenly, he said: "The attack of the golden soldiers is urgent, and the cavalry in the city can't be used, so it's better to break out of the encirclement and ask the general for help." ”

"Don't worry, these golden soldiers may not attack hard, maybe they are just bluffing. The city lord might as well go back to the lobby first and wait for the news, this castle is guarded by soldiers on all sides, and there will be no loss for the time being. Please let the lord Duchen stand by, in case of danger, immediately rush out of the siege with the lord of the city, and ask the lord for help. ”

Seeing Li Ying away, Jiao Ting stood behind the shield and looked at the Jin soldiers under the city. The golden soldier carried the ladder and climbed up the ladder like a swarm of poisonous snakes. Huge stones and logs were falling from the city in the rain of arrows, and both the blue-faced and fanged golden soldiers and the signatories of the left and bearded clothes fell off the city wall with a scream.

A stout golden soldier jumped into the city wall in an instant while the arrow rain fell. Several of the armor guards shouted and went to meet the enemy, but they were shot down by sharp arrows from the city.

The long knife in Jin Bing's hand swept by, bringing a rain of blood, and several Lijiazhuang family members immediately retreated in panic, and several figures appeared behind Jin Bing in an instant. Jiao Ting roared, picked up the short spear with the soldiers around him, and threw it hard, and the leading Jin soldier dodged sideways. He roared, grabbed a shield, and rushed towards the golden soldier, several of his own soldiers rushing after him. The golden soldier's long knife slashed on the shield, and with a muffled bang, Jiao Ting resisted the golden soldier until his own soldier looked at the golden soldier's head with a knife.

There was a scream in his ears, the shield shifted sideways, and a long arrow pierced through the shield.

Jiao Ting threw down his shield, took a few steps in a row, and came to a golden soldier, let go of the mace smashed from the opposite side, and used wrestling tactics to throw the golden soldier off the city wall.

"Archer~, cover the shot there immediately!" Looking at the sharpshooters of several golden soldiers under the city, Jiao Ting shouted angrily. Leling's archers covered the position of the golden soldier archers under his shout.

"Woo", the horn blew more violently, the sky was dark, and the rain of arrows descended on Leling again, and the attack of the Jin soldiers became more intense. Under the superior strength of the Jin soldiers who gave up the other sides and concentrated on attacking the south gate. The south gate immediately crumbled a little.

In a matter of moments, several places on the city wall were broken through by the golden soldiers. The soldiers of the Bohai battalion were fighting frantically at the moment, and they did not dodge or dodge the cold arrows. And Leling's Jiao Ting took his own soldiers to put out the fire while giving orders.

"Order the other three sides to support the south gate at once. Summoned Li Ying, immediately organized the strong men, ready to support at any time. ”

A few golden soldiers climbed the city wall again, followed by more than a dozen signatories. Under the ferocity of the Jin soldiers, the families of Lijiazhuang couldn't help retreating in fear, and even their retreat caused the collapse of the armor guards.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the soldiers, the Jin soldiers opened up a small open space at the head of the city, and dozens of Jin soldiers had been gathered. Jiao Ting rushed forward again, his left arm, calf, dripping with blood. A golden soldier was killed with a knife, but he was stabbed again. Seeing that he was retreating, the Li family Zhuang Ding hissed and shouted: "Fight to the death, there are no eggs under the nest." ”

Looking at the somewhat confused eyes of the Li family Zhuang Ding in the retreat, Jiao Ting suddenly sobered up, raised the long knife again, and rushed towards the Jin soldiers, shouting sharply, "Fight to the death, protect your family!" ”

At this time, a Li family dealer who was retreating was cut off, and they suddenly stopped.

Li Ying had already come up with reinforcements, and he shouted: "Li's family is here, and the whole family is dead in the city." Kill the enemy with me. ”

Where can they retreat, the castle is ruined, and what about the families who are protected by the castle. The safety of their families suddenly aroused their courage, and the family Ding and the Li family immediately rushed forward after a little hesitation. Their blood remained in the land where their family had lived for a long time, and where it had once been peaceful and prosperous. The countless voices of the city wall seem to be repeating a sentence.

"Fight to the death, defend your family!"

"Rather loess," the armor guards charged out again. "Don't be a gold slave!"

"Woo~" Jin Bing finally retreated. The blood on the walls intertwined and seeped into the walls, gradually dyeing the walls brown and black. Jiao Ting sat on the city wall dejectedly, and the armor guards were always not as good as the other red turban battalions that formed an army with displaced people, with the heart of survival and the will to die. The Jin soldiers in front of him officially attacked the city for the first time, and they were actually attacked on the city wall several times.

"Jiao Yuhou, let's ask Bohai for help. According to the current situation, Leling will definitely not survive tomorrow. If the general is called a little later, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people in Leling Fort will die under the golden sword. Leling City Lord Li Ying appeared on the city wall again, and when he saw the situation on the city wall, his face became more and more pale.

Jiao Ting looked at this Haoqiang, thought hard in his heart, and bowed his head and promised: "Okay, so Master Li Zhuang will also go to ask for help." ”

Li Ying shook it thoroughly, and a trace of blush appeared on his pale face. opened his mouth and said: "I am the owner of the village and the lord of the city, and I can't sit and watch Leling be broken." Why don't you let Duchenne take my two sons there? ”

"That's fine, but don't worry, the city lord, if Jin Bing wants to enter Leling, he must first step over my scorched corpse."

When Li Ying and Jiao Ting were sitting on the city wall waiting for the Jin soldiers to attack again, and when Du Xing rushed out of the east gate with a cavalry of less than 100 people, Hao Siwen was looking for Hu Yangeng, wanting to inform the main force of the Jin soldiers that they were missing.
