Dingbian City, the two armies have been fighting fiercely for several days.

Since the Dao Lang found out that the Ming army actually occupied Dingbian County and cut off his retreat, he immediately sent troops to attack Dingbian City in an attempt to restore contact with Mengmao.

At first, he didn't take Dingbian City in his eyes, and he didn't go to battle in person, but just sent his deputy general Peng Mailang to lead 10,000 Xira soldiers to attack.

After all, Jizhai, who is more easy to defend and difficult to attack, has been easily captured by him. This small earthen fort, which is no more than two feet high and has no more than 5,000 defenders, is at best just a stumbling block on the way back, and it can be kicked away with one kick.

Unexpectedly, Peng Mailang attacked for several days, not only could not kick the stumbling block away, but was also caught off guard by the Ming army reinforcements who crossed the river at night.

In addition, the Otao, who had already escaped, actually reappeared in Jingdong Mansion, and secretly contacted the local officials and Tusi of various states and counties in the ravines and ravines, so that they could cause trouble for the Luchuan army.

The Tusi officials have long heard that the Luchuan regime does not give outsiders a way to live, as long as they are not Dai people, they must obediently hand over power and give way, otherwise they will be destroyed.

In fact, what if it is a Dai person? Lord Otao is a Dai person, isn't it the same as being seized by Si Lun and killing the whole family?

The good things in this world are all compared. Compared with Si Lunfa, the Ming prince, who originally had an average image, actually became kind and kind.

At least they openly promised that as long as they obeyed the orders of the imperial court, they would keep their status unchanged.

Isn't this much better than Silunfa, who only knows how to eat alone?

Therefore, the toasts still listened to Otao, not only did they not go to Jingdong City to meet Dao Lang, but also beat away the grain collection team he sent.

Anyway, as soon as there was a battle in Jingdong Mansion, the toasts hid back in the cottage. If you have the ability, you can go into the mountains and beat me.

However, the strength of the sword warriors is more than enough to control the important places, but it is not enough to divide the troops to suppress them, and there is really no way to take them for a while.

This made Dao Wulang have to give up, and the plan to defeat Yuanjiang Mansion in one go, he can only concentrate all his strength first, capture Dingbian City, and open up the connection with the rear, so as to get more troops to suppress the situation in Jingdong Mansion.

So, he only left thousands of soldiers and horses to defend Jingdong City and Jizhai Village, and then personally led the main force to attack Dingbian City with all his might!

Dao Lang ordered people to set up a throne on the hillside opposite Dingbian City, and the Malaysian Golden Dao sat on it and sat on it himself.

In addition, he also arranged for the overseer team to suppress the formation, and ordered all those who were afraid of the enemy to be killed! Those who escape, slash! Those who are unfavorable in battle will be killed!

Under the strict orders of Dao Gulang, the Luchuan army riveted enough strength to feed, holding shields and carrying ladders, pouring out of the barracks, preparing to go all out to attack Dingbian City......

~~

The defenders of Dingbian City have long been ready for battle. Although they faced several times the enemy army the day before, they did not panic at all.

Because standing behind them is the defender of Hongdu City, the eldest uncle of the king of Chuhaidian, Wu Changbo, and the governor of Tongzhi Huquan......

On that day, Hu Quan attacked the enemy camp at night and led the army into the city, so he showed the warrant of the new general Mu Ying to the defending general Ningzheng and took over the city defense of Dingbian City.

The original guard, Ningzheng, became his deputy.

Looking at Wu Changbo, who was burly and had fluttering hair, Ningzheng still felt a little unreal.

He could never have imagined that the general who wielded a mace and led two thousand cavalry to the ground that day, and entered the city after temporarily breaking the siege, was actually the prince's maternal uncle!

But the two thick and black thick eyebrows carved out of the same mold as the prince are the best anti-counterfeiting labels. They always reminded all the soldiers in front of them that it was the prince and his uncle......

The arrival of Hu Quan also made the defenders truly realize the importance of Dingbian City...... The prince actually sent his uncle to guard the border city, which shows that the border city must not be lost. This is a truth that even the most stupid soldier can figure out.

After entering the city, Hu Quan immediately inspected the city defense, checked the personnel and equipment, and then immediately ordered the soldiers to re-strengthen the city wall according to their own requirements.

and prepared many new equipment for defending the city; And, most importantly, he rearranged the city's defenses, removed half of the defenders, and let them take turns with the troops at the head of the city.

When the war is not tight, the soldiers under the city can only rest and wait for the shift change before going into battle.

If the war is tight, they act as a reserve and immediately put out fires and fill the pits, which is of course the meaning of the topic.

Only those who have experienced the long and brutal siege of the city understand the importance of shifts.

High-intensity and brutal battles will cause great physical and mental depletion to officers and men. Even if there is no war for the time being, the soldiers are chattering and high tension in the city, and the spirit will not be relaxed......

Excessive physical fatigue and mental exhaustion of officers and men will greatly reduce their combat effectiveness. If the enemy has the advantage of strength and can continue to invest in vital forces, then the number of casualties of the defenders will naturally skyrocket.

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the rotation so that the soldiers have a respite to recover their physical and mental strength.

But the enemy army several times their own is overwhelming, the defense line is under pressure everywhere, and it is crumbling everywhere, how many generals can endure it, not play all the cards in their hands, and not pile all their men on the city?

This requires the defenders to remain calm at all times, always have a correct assessment of the battle situation, and have full foresight. Wherever the battle line is tight and where it can be withheld, it is necessary to observe the fire with a clear view and deploy troops accordingly. In order to keep the army at the head of the city in just right, no more, no less.

Moreover, the more troops are not wasted, the more reserves in their hands, the less panicked the soldiers defending the city, and the more guaranteed their combat effectiveness. As a result, there is no need to waste troops, and a virtuous circle is formed. Naturally, I was able to hold on for a longer period of time.

Therefore, commanding a battle to defend a city is a great test of the general's determination and judgment. Without rich experience and excellent command and deployment ability, it is incompetent.

And Hu Quan obviously has the advantages of these two aspects.

Of course, this is also because the city is full of battle-hardened Ming soldiers. He knows their level and determination, and knows that they will never drop the chain before reaching their limit.

If it was replaced by the Turkish army to defend the city, he would only harm himself by entrusting him like this......

"Uncle is amazing." Ning Zheng was a little angry that he was taken away from the command, but now he was convinced: "The troops in the city are really stretched, but the uncle can deploy them in an orderly manner and make the defense line full of resilience." ”

"This is all with the Dadu Inspector, compared to the original battle of Hongdu, now it is just a small scene." Hu Quan said lightly.

"Indeed." Ningzheng nodded. The soldiers also secretly said that they were too qualified to say this.

Hu Quan put Hongdu on his lips, not to show off, but to give confidence to the soldiers, because full confidence will greatly enhance combat effectiveness......

At present, everything is ready, just waiting for the Luchuan army to attack.
