"After this battle, the enemy will probably learn to behave better! Next, let's look at Ningping!" Han Xin said thoughtfully, looking in the direction of the south.
Guan Zhong's plan to lure the snake out of its cave was actually originally prepared for that.
Three of the most important aristocratic families in Hebei Province are located in Ninh Binh.
That's all. The most important thing is that among all the aristocratic families in Da Cang, one of the two giant aristocratic families located in Hebei Province is right there.
If we ignore these people, how can their rule in Hebei Province really be stabilized? Even if it is stabilized, it will only be superficially stable.
If they become turbulent, they won't be able to compare with just An Tianwu.
No matter how great the harm caused by people like An Tianwu, it is impossible to hurt their roots. However, once these aristocratic family groups are unprepared and let these people suddenly attack from behind, they may be hurt.
their roots.
Ningping is in dilapidated condition at this moment.
Although there were originally 5,000 guards here, after gathering many severely punished criminals, the number of people who could be used for defense reached 8,000.
However, there is still a huge gap between the power in Li Shikai's hands.
Although Su Quanzhong, the son of veteran general Su Hu, was brave and good at fighting, Meng Wen and Meng Wu were also among the top three warriors in Hedong Road. The ability of any one of them was not inferior to that of Su Quanzhong, and when the two of them joined forces, it was even more difficult for Su Quanzhong to compete.
Su Quanzhong originally hoped that he could turn the tide of the war with his own strength, but he could only barely compete with Meng Wen, who was relatively weak among the two brothers. After meeting Meng Wu, who was more brave than Meng Wen, he had already
Somewhat exhausted.
After the two of them joined forces, in less than ten rounds, he was already in danger and had to fight to the death to escape.
Fortunately, the two brothers did not awaken their combined skills. Otherwise, Su Quanzhong might not even have a chance to escape.
And thanks to the fact that several aristocratic families in Ningping County armed their servants and servants into soldiers and horses and handed them over to the veteran general Su Hu to command, this battle was not completely defeated.
After the news of the defeat of the Hedong Army on the Xuanma Ancient Road came, Li Shikai hesitated whether to continue the fight.
After all, the Hedong Army on the Xuanma Ancient Road returned with a huge defeat. Even Gu Yeming, the governor of Hedong Road, died in the battle. It was a powerful blow to the morale of the army. Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could still
It can be guessed that the Hedong Army soldiers and horses on the Xuanma Ancient Road must be in panic at this time.
This battle also made Li Shikai more fearful of Han Xin. Among the entire Hedong Road, apart from Li Shikai himself, Han Gui was the most mature and prudent.
But he never expected that judging from the outcome of this battle, Han Gui was almost fooled by Han Xin.
In order to stop Han Xin, Li Shikai not only sent several Jiejiao masters headed by his nephew to Han Gui, but also sent Yan Beikuan, one of the three fierce generals of the Forbidden Army, to Han Gui, but it was still difficult to change him.
The ending of failure.
Once Han Xin's army arrives, but they have not captured Ningping yet, they will be besieged from front to back, and the result will be a complete annihilation of the army.
However, after a brief hesitation, the arrival of a piece of news finally made him completely change his mind.
Li Shikai immediately sent a message to Han Gui, telling him to reorganize his troops and to stop Han Xin at all costs for at least ten more days.
And he himself was even more crazy. He was already very old, and he was forced to risk his own life and climb the ladder to the city wall with his sword in hand.
Su Hu was also extremely crazy. He had also received the news about the battle on the Xuanma Ancient Road. He knew that the reinforcements were not far away from him, and there was only the last moment before dawn. If he fell at the last moment, how could he be willing to do so?
Therefore, in order to hold on until the coming reinforcements arrived, both Su Hu and the injured Su Quanzhong raised their swords and fought.
Even if you bite with your teeth, you will bite off the enemy soldiers who boarded the Great Wall one by one.
However, when the aristocratic families in the city began to rebel, the city could no longer be defended.
As for the Second Master Zhuge who has been in contact with Li Shikai, as the second eldest son of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Linghu, the dragon, tiger and dog of the Zhuge family, and the younger brother of the head of the Zhuge family, he is in Ningping County and even the entire Hebei Province, and even the entire
They all have such a great reputation in the world.
The older generation of the Zhuge family has Zhuge Ming, the pillar of the country, the generation in their prime has the three brothers Dragon, Tiger and Dog, and the younger generation also has Zhuge Wuying.
Yunhu, one of the dragons, tigers, and dogs, and Zhuge Shang, one of the Five Heroes, joined forces to make trouble, so they naturally had great influence among the families in Ningping County.
Even though there was no support from the Zhuge family behind them, these two men still managed to lure many people onto their pirate ship, or in other words, they deceived many people into boarding their pirate ship.
Wang Anshi was on guard against the city, but almost all of Su Hu's power was used to defend the city. He could not squeeze out any power to suppress the families who suddenly made trouble.
After the internal and external coordination, the city gate finally opened wide, and countless Hedong Army soldiers and horses, led by Li Shikai, poured into the city gate crazily.
"Quan Zhong, bring all your soldiers and follow me. You must close the city gate again!" Su Hu shouted hurriedly on the city wall.
He stood up suddenly, but stumbled and almost fell down again.
Su Hu, who had only super strength, was already scarred by this time. He had more than ten wounds of various sizes on his body. The bandaged wounds continued to break apart in the fierce battle, and the originally white gauze had already been dyed.
color.
"Father, I'm afraid we can't defend this city!" Su Quanzhong said dejectedly, covered in blood.
He was already injured in the battle with Meng Wen and Meng Wu, but for many days, not only did he not get effective rest, but he suffered more injuries in the successive battles. Even he had arrived at this time.
A body is at its limit and may collapse at any time.
"General Han's reinforcements are coming immediately. How can we not be able to defend it? How can we, father and son, not be able to defend it at this time?" Su Hu asked with red eyes.
Seeing that the dawn is coming, but falling into the darkness before dawn, I am afraid that anyone would be unwilling to do so.
But what they didn't know was that in a forest twenty miles away from the city, a dark group of thousands of people, like ghosts in the darkness, was quietly hiding in the woods.
