Let's say that the 50,000 You army led by Tang Bi quietly bypassed Jiangyang, and then quickly went north and went straight to Ningding.

Two days later, when You Jun suddenly appeared outside Ningding City, the two thousand defenders in the city were stupid, and people couldn't even believe their eyes, let alone where the You Army outside Ludao City came from.

Ning Ding's city lord originally wanted to resist, but after thinking about it, what was the use of resisting now? With 2,000 people to block the sea of people outside the city, I am afraid that there is no need to fight, and the two thousand city troops on his side will be trampled into pulp in a matter of time. The city lord of Ningding did not make any resistance, and ran away from the north city with two thousand city troops and his family.

As soon as the city lord and the city army fled, the city was completely chaotic, a large number of people of the Jin Kingdom fled one after another, and the streets and alleys of Ningding City were chaotic, and the people with packages on their backs and families were seen everywhere running out of the city.

The You soldiers led by Tang Bi were bloodless and easily entered Ningding.

After entering the city, under Tang Bi's order, You Jun immediately controlled the city gates on all sides, and they didn't care about the people who had fled, but those who had time to leave the city in the future were all sent back to their respective homes by You Jun, and they were strictly forbidden to leave their homes.

Purging the people on the streets of the city, You Jun began to exercise full control over Ningding, taking over the key points everywhere, and the most important places naturally belonged to the city lord's mansion, granary, and silver treasury.

Ningding is the inland city of the Jin Kingdom, the grain production is abundant, very rich, and there is a lot of grain hoarded in the granary, after inspecting the granary in the city, Tang Bi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so that from this city, it is not difficult to imagine the situation of the surrounding villages and towns. It is estimated that in a few days, the food plundered by our side will be enough for the whole army to eat for several days.

In the You army, Tang Bi was still a relatively gentle person, and after occupying Ningding, he neither ordered the slaughter of the city, nor did he condone the looting of his subordinates. On the contrary, he also asked his subordinates to post notices to appease the people and reassure the people of Jinguo, indicating that You Jun was only temporarily living in Ningding and would not disturb the people's daily life.

On the second day after the You army captured Ningding, Tang Bi successively sent several troops to act separately and went to the villages and towns around Ningding, and he specially explained. You don't need to rob anything else, just plunder the grain, and don't rob the people's grain, if you want to rob the official granary.

The reason why he explained this was also because the grain near Ningding was too sufficient, and there was no need to rob the people's grain reserves, which caused resentment among the people and made a life of right and wrong.

For days. You Jun ran around within a radius of dozens of miles from Ningding, looting the granary. Truckloads of grain were continuously pulled back to Ningding City, and then Ningding was used as a transit station and transported back to the camp of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition army to make up for the shortage of grain and grass in the army.

On the other side, Tang Bi began to set out the city defenses. In his opinion, Ningding has no city defense at all. Everything had to start from scratch, and he asked his You army to gather the strong men in the city to serve as laborers, strengthen the city walls, and transport defensive weapons such as rolling logs and stones.

Tang Bi was very clear. The Jin army led by Lin Haotian will definitely choose to break through, as for whether it will break through from Ningding, no one knows how to do it, and it is still necessary to strengthen the city defense and be prepared.

Although Tang Bi had strengthened Ningding's city defenses, he never dreamed that the spearhead of the Jin State's Three Route Local Army and the Fourth Army Corps were all directed at Ningding, where he was.

On the second day after the You army occupied Ningding, Lin Haotian ordered his own heralds to send orders to the three local armies, all of which converged in the direction of Ningding, and at the same time, the Fourth Army also marched north from Jiangyang to cooperate with the three local armies to besiege Ningding.

The eyes of the You Yan coalition army have long been densely spread around Jiangyang, and the slightest disturbance in Jiangyang can't hide the eyes and ears of the You Yan coalition army, not to mention that at this time, it is the Fourth Army Corps with a strength of 100,000 troops.

The spies of the You Yan coalition army saw that a large group of people and horses in Jiangyang were out of the city, and they did not dare to delay, and hurriedly sent the news back to the camp.

Hearing this, Ren Tianxing's heart was shocked, and the total number of Jin troops in Jiangyang City did not exceed 200,000, and 100,000 people went out of the city at once, so now there are at most 100,000 Jin troops left in Jiangyang City, this is a good opportunity for his own side to attack on a large scale!

Ren Tianxing immediately summoned the generals of You Yan's two armies to explain the situation.

After hearing this, everyone looked up and smiled, and said: "This must be because the Jin army heard that the three cities of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng were occupied by our army, so they hurried to the rescue. ”

However, our army has 50,000 soldiers stationed in each of the three cities, and the Jin army only sends 100,000 men, so even if they all go to attack one city, there is no possibility of defeating them. ”

The generals of You Yan's two armies were full of confidence, of course, it was indeed difficult to succeed in attacking a city of 50,000 people with 100,000 people, but what they didn't know was that there were three local armies of tens of thousands of people on the Jin army.

Ren Tianxing didn't know about the existence of these three local armies, and the spies didn't send back the corresponding information, no matter how shrewd he was, it was impossible for him to be unpredictable. He smiled slightly and said, "Since the Jin Army has divided its troops to rescue, then let them go to the rescue, for us, this is a great opportunity to break through Jiangyang." I have decided to attack the city tomorrow, I don't know what the generals think?"

None of the generals objected, and they said in unison: "Just do what the general (Ren Shuai) wants, and our army will attack the city tomorrow!"

Without further discussion, Ren Tianxing and his generals decided to attack Jiangyang.

There was nothing to say that day, and the next day, early in the morning, the You Yan coalition army officially sounded the horn of attack.

The armies of the two countries walked out of the camp in a neat phalanx and pressed straight to Jiangyang in front.

This time, Ren Tianxing has made up his mind, he must take this opportunity to take Jiangyang in one go, and when he sent troops, he also had no reservations, and used all the troops that could be used, and the total strength of the siege reached 500,000 people.

Since the outer city of Jiangyang has been destroyed a lot by heavy stone throwers, the advance of the You Yan coalition army is also very smooth, and it is pushed closer to less than two miles away from the inner city of Jiangyang in one go. When they arrived here, the heavy stone throwing machines no longer advanced, and the soldiers of the two armies fixed the stone throwing machines one by one, aimed them at the Jiangyang city wall, and prepared to throw stone bullets.

The tactics of the You Yan coalition army, the Jin army had already been taught as early as when they were in Shuangfeng City, and when they saw the other party attacking in a big way, before they could do it, the soldiers of the Jin army had already run down the city wall and hid under the root of the wall.

Sure enough, not long after the Jin army got off the city wall, the heavy stone throwers of the Yan Kingdom began to launch in unison, and huge stone bullets fell from the sky with a whistling sound of breaking wind, smashing on the city wall, rumbling, the wall trembled, and even the ground was shocked by it, shaking constantly.

However, the Jin army was no longer as frightened as it had been in Twin Peaks, and the stone bullets were nothing compared to throwing the corpses carrying the plague. People squatted under the walls, listening to the occasional roar above their heads, and although they did not look calm, there was no fear on their faces.

What made the soldiers of the Jin Army feel even more reassuring was that now Lin Haotian, the commander of the Jin Army, was among them.

Lin Haotian was dressed in a military uniform, a simple silver helmet and silver armor, although it was not gorgeous, but it was very light, and it would not hinder his agile skills.

Now the soldiers who stayed in Jiangyang are basically the soldiers of the Fifth Army, and Lin Haotian is also worried that the fighting spirit of the Fifth Army is not strong, and the combat strength is low, and it will be defeated by the enemy with one blow, so at this time he must personally go into battle and fight side by side with the soldiers of the New Army, and only in this way can the morale of the Fifth Army be boosted to the greatest extent.

Around Lin Haotian, there were several generals, such as Shao Lin, Tong Lei, and Jiang Shi, and in addition, Jin Cheng and other generals in the Fifth Army were also near him, and they didn't dare to stay away half a step.

Listening to the sound of stone bullets smashing the city wall gradually weakened, replaced by the continuous sound of heavy footsteps, and Lin Haotian did not need to go up to the city to watch Lin Haotian also knew that it was the enemy's siege troops coming up.

He cheered up, straightened his body, looked around at the soldiers around him, and shouted in a deep voice: "The enemy army has begun to attack the city, brothers, follow me to the city wall to meet the battle!"

"Yes, sir!"

The officers and men of the Fifth Army shouted in unison. Rolling logs, stones, and other objects piled up under the city walls were carried to the top of the city, and then the archers took their positions, twisted their bows and arrows, and aimed their edges at the enemy phalanx outside the city.

At this time, looking out from the city, the momentum of the You Yan coalition army was terrifying enough. (To be continued......)
