When Yuan Jiajun received Ji Ling's support, Lingshou City ushered in Ye Teng.

In fact, Ye Teng arrived in Lingshou County earlier than Ji Ling, but he stayed for a short time, released Zhao Yun and 1,000 Xuanjia cavalry and 10,000 Han army iron cavalry out of the Shenshi space, and ordered him to join Cao Xing, wait outside the city, look for a good opportunity, and prepare to hunt down the Yuan family army who fled north.

When Ye Teng arrived at Lingshou City, it was already the beginning of the lantern season, and Xu Huang was walking around the city to comfort the soldiers who were injured during the day and other soldiers who had just had dinner.

Since the north gate was the main direction of attack of the Yuan family, Ye Teng was ready to go to the city from there, and by the way, observe the Yuan family's camp. At the same time, Xu Huang was patrolling to the north gate, patting a soldier with a wounded thigh on the shoulder, encouraging him to make new contributions after he recovered from his injury.

"Look, General!" Chen Ming handed over a letter and a brocade silk.

With the torch in Chen Ming's hand, Xu Huang unfolded the letter and brocade silk, read it quickly, and hurriedly said, "Where did you get it?" Take me there! ”

Chen Ming turned around and led the way, and the two of them quickly walked towards the area defended by Huang Yao. It turned out that Ye Teng repeated his old trick again, shooting the letter and the edict of the appointment of the Taishou of Yanmen County on the city wall, which was obtained by Huang Yao's subordinates and handed over to Chen Ming.

"Right here!" Arriving at the destination, Chen Ming stopped, turned to Xu Huang and said.

"Quick, drop a rope and pull the man up!" Xu Huang said as he poked his head out of the female wall to look down at the city, but unfortunately the night was too dark to see anything.

"General, be careful!" Chen Ming reminded.

"Rest assured, the enemy is out of range of the bow and arrow!" Xu Huang waved his hand absently.

As he spoke, Huang Yao and the others had already put the rope down.

Soon, Ye Teng grabbed the rope alternately with both hands, quickly climbed the city wall, and finally jumped in the air and landed steadily on the top of the city, showing the strength of the heaven-level generals.

"Lord!" Xu Huang, Chen Ming, and Huang Yao bowed in unison.

"Don't be polite, don't alarm the brethren to rest!" Ye Teng clapped his hands and looked around inadvertently, there were a bunch of soldiers here and there at the head of the city, resting on the city at will, undressed and ready to deal with the enemy's sneak attack at any time.

"My lord, please go to the castle tower to talk." Xu Huang invited softly.

"Okay, you two can go with us." Seeing each other is fate, bringing Chen Ming and Huang Yao at this time is obviously conducive to winning people's hearts!

"No!" The three of them agreed in unison.

——————————

In a room similar to a small conference room in the city tower, Ye Teng sat in the center and said with a smile: "Gongming, let's introduce these two capable generals." ”

Xu Huang looked at Chen Ming and Huang Yao with appreciation, and introduced:

"Yes, my lord, this is the military Sima Chen Ming, this is the military marquis Huang Yao, and there is also a military marquis Xiao Shan, the three of them are childhood playmates, when the lord ordered the recruitment of troops in Yanmen, he joined the northern army of our town at the same time;

"I have been serving under General Wenyuan before, conquering foreign races in Zhenbei City, performing outstanding performances and performing military exploits, so in a short period of time, I was appointed to the army Sima and the military marquis, and when I was reorganized before the battle of Changshan Kingdom, I was transferred to my command to lead the Euphorbia;

"Since the day Lingshou City was besieged, they have been fighting in the city, Chen Ping is calm and steady, Huang Yao is full of spirituality, Xiao Shan has the characteristics of divine power, dare to fight, since the start of the war, the three of them have made outstanding achievements and are exciting!"

"Hearing you say that, I want to dig into the corner!" Ye Teng made a joke, then turned to Chen Ming and Huang Yaodao: "General Gongming appreciates you so much, I believe it must be because of your ability and bravery, work hard, my Tianma City forces will not be wronged by capable and meritorious heroes!" I also convey to your robe, Xiao Shan, that I look forward to personally awarding you a reward after this battle! ”

"I am willing to do my best for the lord!" Chen Ming and Huang Yao got up and made a big salute and said solemnly.

"Hmmm! Sit down, sit down, don't be polite. Ye Teng returned the salute, turned to Xu Huang and said, "Tell me about the situation of our army in Lingshou County." ”

Xu Huang's face turned grim and said, "No! After a long period of tragic fighting, the materials for defending the city in the city are basically exhausted, and the only woods and stones at the head of the city are all collected by the county commander to lead the soldiers and civilians when we are fighting, but at most, they can barely support one day. Lately, it has been like this, it is transported to the city at night, and it is used up the next day; The war has been fought for too long, and the collection of supplies is becoming more and more difficult.

"As for the casualties, because we are constantly upgrading the line of fire in the course of the battle, the losses of the special units on the surface are not large, but in fact they consume a lot of resources.

"Of the 24,000 back troops, there are nearly 23,000 people left, of course, nearly 1,000 of them are promoted; 10,000 halberds and 30,000 Qi family soldiers, nearly half of them were killed, but some of them were also replenished by promotion, and now there are about seventy percent left; 10,000 Han army iron cavalry, not yet in battle, no casualties;

"The largest losses are ordinary troops, 300,000 who were fully equipped before the war, and now there are only more than 130,000 left, of course, not all of them are killed, of which about seven or eight thousand people have been promoted to primary special arms by the line of fire."

Listening to Xu Huang's report, Ye Teng estimated a little in his heart, if they were all converted into ordinary third-order soldiers, the loss of combat power would be about 500,000, which could be described as heavy casualties.

"Well, you must do a good job of statistics, and you must be generous after the war, they are all heroes, and we can't let heroes shed blood and tears!" Ye Teng's voice was low.

"Thank you, my lord!" Xu Huang said.

"They deserve it!" Ye Teng's voice changed, and he said: "This time I entered the city, because the Black Mountain Army broke and fled, the Wei family surrendered, and the dock forts of the Yuan family's lair were broken by me, at this time the Yuan family must have received relevant news, I estimate that the Yuan family will launch a final attack on Lingshou City, if the city cannot be broken, it will retreat and flee north as quickly as possible, so this dying blow, the Yuan army will definitely do its best, regardless of life and death, it is not easy to resist!" ”

"Please rest assured, the people are in the city, and they will never let the Yuan family army easily break Lingshou City!" Xu Huang looked resolute.

"The courage of the soldiers and the ability of the Gongming, I am well aware, but we still have to be prepared to meet the crazy attack of the Yuan family army tomorrow, not only to defend the city, but also to reduce casualties as much as possible, every soldier who has been in battle for a long time is a valuable wealth, can not be sacrificed, try to give preservation! It is even necessary to retain a certain counterattack ability, and the Yuan family army cannot be easily withdrawn! Ye Teng said the purpose of coming here.

"Please instruct the lord!" Xu Huang said.

Ye Teng waved his hand and said, "I don't have any instructions, I'm not familiar with the situation here, the boss of the city is still you, I won't cook for you!" Wait a minute, you just need to treat me as an ordinary military general and assign me tasks! I just want to ask, if tomorrow, the Yuan family launches a million-strong army to surround the four gates, attack wildly regardless of casualties, and even dispatch tens of thousands of primary special troops and thousands of intermediate special troops, what are you going to do? Can it be kept? ”
