Dingyuan City was as busy as usual. Ever since the million-strong army attacked the Xia Kingdom, Dingyuan City began to be busy.
Various siege equipment and food were constantly transported to the front line.
More importantly, Dingyuan City was the only transportation route to the front line, especially food. The million-strong Liang army consumed a lot every day, and the food transportation could not stop for a moment.
Today, Dingyuan City did not realize any crisis. As usual, the city gates were wide open, and carriages loaded with different goods left Dingyuan City one after another.
Under a small hill in the distance, Li Cunxiao, Zhang Liao and others had led 200,000 Zhenbei troops to appear.
"General Li, it is the best time for us to raid Dingyuan City now."
This place is not far from Dingyuan City. The army can quickly charge to the city. The team transporting supplies in Dingyuan City is coming and going. In a panic, they will inevitably flee everywhere, and it may not be in time to close the city gates.
Moreover, Dingyuan City would not expect someone to attack the city at this time. There are not many defenders in the city, and the defense is insufficient. As long as they enter the city, the battle is basically over.
"We should not be careless. The army's charge is too loud. If the enemy reacts quickly, it will be a trouble."
"How about this, there are so many carriages and horses in Dingyuan City, we just take a batch of them, send experts to mix into the transport team, as long as we get close to the city gate, we can act."
"As long as we control the city gate, we will win."
Because they came from a small road, the army did not prepare large-scale siege equipment. Once the city gate is closed, 200,000 troops will be useless and can't climb up.
Li Cunxiao didn't know the power of grenades, and in view of the current situation, he made suggestions.
Yanyun Cavalry had no commander, they were all soldiers, and no one spoke. Their task was to cooperate with the action, and they would naturally take action when they were needed.
About an hour later, Li Cunxiao secretly sent nearly a hundred people to secretly control some carriages that were preparing to enter the city to pull supplies.
Just as the carriage was approaching the city gate for inspection, a large number of troops appeared in the distance.
"Oh no, the enemy is attacking, close the city gate quickly."
The soldiers standing on the city wall soon discovered this situation.
As soon as they heard that the enemy had appeared, there was chaos at the city gate. Whether they were about to leave the city or wanted to enter the city, they couldn't wait to run into the city.
If they stayed outside at this time, they would definitely die.
The carriages carrying supplies wanted to turn around, but it was impossible in the crowded situation.
Seeing the enemy approaching, everyone panicked and didn't care about the carriages. They ran into the city.
It didn't matter if people ran away, but the remaining carriages blocked the city gate, and it was impossible to close the city gate.
And just when the gate guards tried to deal with the carriages, someone in the fleeing crowd suddenly attacked.
There were dozens of Grandmaster Realm warriors who launched a surprise attack on these first- and second-grade soldiers. It was simply a one-sided massacre.
At this time, the soldiers on the city wall also found something wrong, quickly supported and called in archers.
The two armies fought, and the archers were indeed a great threat to the Grandmaster Realm warriors, but at this moment, the incident happened suddenly, and the arrows carried by the archers could not break the Grandmaster Realm warriors' body protection true qi.
Arrows made of pure black iron are very precious. It is impossible to equip archers at ordinary times. They are only issued when they are about to be used. In the current situation, archers have lost their function.
Seeing the enemy approaching, all the Liang army panicked. The Liang army at the city gate and near the city wall only had a few thousand people. How could they be the enemy's opponent.
So, everyone retreated in a hurry and headed towards Dingyuan City.
At this time, the lord and the commander of Dingyuan City did not know that the enemy had come, and the defenders of the city gate had given up resistance.
When the two learned the news, it was too late. The Zhenbei Army had entered the city and was attacking the city wall and the defenders in the city.
The incident happened suddenly, and the intelligence was unclear. The two could not figure out who attacked them, how many enemies there were, and how the battle was going. Faced with the panic situation, the two had no choice but to order all-out resistance, and then secretly evacuate Dingyuan City.
An incompetent general can kill thousands of troops. In order to protect themselves, the two did not even dare to lead the army to fight, which made the Zhenbei Army's action to capture Dingyuan City smoother.
In less than half a day, Dingyuan City fell into Li Cunxiao's hands.
The reason why Long Tian sent Yanyun Cavalry was to help the army occupy the city gate, but he didn't expect that he didn't give them a chance to perform.
This was also because Dingyuan City was careless, thinking that there were millions of troops in front, and thousands of people were sent to block the small road, so the enemy could not pass.
But he didn't expect that he ignored the role of the master.
"Quickly occupy the four cities, close the city gates, prepare the city defense equipment, and at the same time send people to appease the people and suppress all resistance."
This is notIt is the northern border. The people of Liang State are hostile to the Zhenbei Army. Li Cunxiao must send people to suppress them. Otherwise, when the Liang Army comes back to attack the city, these people will inevitably cause internal strife.
The 200,000 Zhenbei Army took Dingyuan City very smoothly, and at the same time arranged defenses to suppress the rebellion.
Liang Hong, who was far away at the front line, did not get the news for the time being. It was not until a day later that the grain transport team in the rear no longer appeared. Liang Hong found something wrong and sent people to inquire.
"Prince, something bad is happening. Dingyuan City has been occupied by the Zhenbei Army."
Finally, the news reached the front-line camp.
"How is it possible? The Zhenbei Army has not mobilized a large army. How did it get to our rear? Are the tens of thousands of troops in Dingyuan City all useless? Dingyuan City was lost so quickly."
If the lord and garrison of Dingyuan City were here at this moment, Liang Hong would have skinned them alive.
If Dingyuan City was lost, the million-strong army on the front line would be in a dilemma. Not to mention a big battle, survival would be a problem.
The frontline can only rely on Dingyuan City for food and grass supply. If it is allocated from other cities, the distance is farther, and the journey is bound to be more dangerous. The cavalry of the Zhenbei Army will not watch the fun.
"Your Majesty, Dingyuan City must be recaptured. We must return immediately. Once the Zhenbei Army has gained a foothold, it will be more difficult for us."
Others are also very clear about the importance of Dingyuan City.
"Yes, but we can't withdraw blindly. Since the Zhenbei Army has captured Dingyuan City, they will definitely be on guard against us and even wait for us to evacuate."
Liang Hong quickly calmed himself down. Although it is dangerous now, it is not a matter of life and death. The food and grass in the camp are enough to last for a few days.
It is not a problem to recapture Dingyuan City within a week.
Since the Zhenbei Army has taken action, there will inevitably be a series of follow-up actions. Liang Hong dare not act rashly, fearing that the Zhenbei Army will seize the opportunity.
Moreover, Liang Hong is most worried about the cavalry of Zhenbei City.
The 100,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry and more than 80,000 White Robe Army would be enough to tear the Liang Army apart if they were not properly dealt with. By then, it would be really too late to save the situation.
