On the rugged mountain road, Liu Yuzheng was leading his troops to advance rapidly.
According to the guidance on the map, they were already very close to Canglangyuan.
However, Liu Yu and the others never found any trace of Ding Ling soldiers and horses ahead.
"Could it be that Ding Lingren faked a shot and launched a surprise attack from somewhere else?"
Liu Yu was a little skeptical at first.
However, the soldiers they met who reported the news from Canglang Plain were very certain that the main force of Ding Lingbing appeared in Canglang Plain.
Since there is no trace of Ding Lingbing, it means that Ding Lingbing has not crossed the valley yet and should be blocked in front of Canglangyuan Fortress.
Regarding this possibility, Liu Yu couldn't believe it at first.
After all, Canglangyuan Fortress only had 500 Han army recruits, while the number of Ding Ling soldiers on the opposite side was counted in the tens of thousands.
Moreover, Cang Lang's original fortress was very dilapidated, and it was impossible to stop a large force from attacking.
"Report!"
Just as Liu Yu was frowning and thinking on his horse, the scout in front suddenly ran over.
"What's going on!?" Liu Yu asked immediately.
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of fighting and roaring sounds in the Canglang Plain ahead. There must be a fierce battle going on!" the scout said.
"What, what you said is true!" Liu Yu asked immediately.
"Your Majesty, I heard this with my own ears and have already sent my men to investigate ahead." said the scout leader.
Liu Yu still knew the so-called "Wangshan Run" principle, but since he could hear the sound, it meant that it was not too far away.
"This means that the officers and soldiers of Canglangyuan are still resisting?" Liu Yu was a little surprised.
Regarding Liu Yu's idea, he immediately felt a little crazy.
With five hundred people fighting against tens of thousands, it is definitely a miracle that they can persist for such a long time.
"Soldiers of the Han Dynasty, the enemy is in Canglang Plain!"
Liu Yu drew out his sword, leapt on a huge rock beside the road, raised his sword forward and shouted loudly.
His Majesty the Emperor, riding his horse and pointing far ahead, suddenly looked particularly majestic and majestic!
All the pro-army officers and soldiers were immediately inspired with enthusiasm, and all the fatigue from the previous march was swept away.
When Zhao Kun saw this, he immediately raised his fists and shouted in response.
"The enemy is in Canglang Plain!"
. . . .
"Kill the enemy!"
Yu Wengui gritted his teeth and endured the pain as he pulled out an arrow from his shoulder.
"hiss!"
The severe pain made Yu Wengui, a tough guy, couldn't help but take a breath.
"Boss, the Ding Ling people have retreated!"
Xi Wu beside him whispered, showing no joy at all as the enemy retreated.
Because everyone knows that they repelled another wave of attacks by Ding Lingbing, but Ding Lingbing's attack will not stop.
They will organize the next attack soon.
However, on the Han army's side, after every battle, there were some casualties. There was no replacement, and they could only be slowly consumed by the Ding Ling people.
"How many brothers are there?" Yu Wengui asked, leaning on the wall.
He had suffered several wounds all over his body, and now he was unable to stand up and move.
"Boss, there are less than two hundred people left!" Xi Wu said.
As a well-known honest man in the military, Xi Wu has been promoted by Yu Wengui to become the leader of the frontline troops to replace his predecessor who died in battle not long ago.
"With less than two hundred people, we can still block another wave!" Yu Wengui struggled to get up.
"We don't have much gunpowder anymore," Xi Wu said.
The Han army had repelled two consecutive attacks by Ding Lingbing, and a lot of their gunpowder was lost in the battle.
Now the Han army's fire cannons can fire five or six rounds at most, and then they will have to use swords and guns.
"That's almost it. We don't plan to survive anyway, so we'll kill him as fast as we can!" Yu Wengui said.
At this time, almost all the Han soldiers in the fortress were injured, but no one was discouraged.
Yu Wengui knew that the next round of Ding Lingbing's attack would be the death of people like him.
"Da You, I can't move, and I must not let Ding Ling Dog capture me!"
Yu Wengui said softly next to Xi Wu.
"Boss..." Xi Wu just started, but he didn't know what to say.
His life was almost gone, and it seemed that nothing he could say was meaningless.
"Hel me to the military flag. Even if I die, I will die under the banner of the Han Army." Yu Wengui said.
His whole family was treated like a soldier by the military. If his death was not obvious and someone misunderstood him and surrendered to the enemy, it would be a disaster.
"Um!"
Xi Wu nodded with heavy eyes, then helped Yu Wengui up with both hands, and moved step by step to the sentry tower on the Wubao.
This is the highest point of Wubao, and a military flag is erected here.
Yu Wengui left a hand crossbow and a short knife and asked Xi Wu to go down.
He stretched his head from the sentry tower and saw that in front of the array of Ding Ling soldiers in the distance, a row of Ding Ling soldiers were dragged to the open space, and then another row of Ding Ling soldiers raised their knives and beheaded all of them. .
Seeing this scene, Yu Wengui showed a smile on his face.
He knew that this was Ding Lingbing punishing his own people who had been disadvantaged in the battle just now.
Unexpectedly, his determination and desperate efforts could make the Ding Ling people kill each other.
Even if he died here today, he would have already made his money back.
At the same moment, Zhai Muhe, under the command of the Central Military Commander of Ding Ling's army, was sullenly staring at Canglangyuan Fortress in front of him.
Wu La ran over at this time.
"Da Shanyu, the two defeated soldiers who escaped just now have been executed." Wu La said.
When Zhai Muhe heard this, he almost didn't even frown, as if the people he killed were not soldiers of Ding Ling Kingdom.
"Hang all the heads out in public and tell the whole army that this is what you will get if you run away from the battle!"
"As you command!"
Wula ran away immediately.
The result now is something Zhai Muhe never expected.
A small fortress, with only a few hundred people, withstood two sieges by several times Ding Ling's army.
Such a siege from all directions!
Zhai Muhe now wants two things more and more.
One is the craftsman and method of the Han army's "fire-breathing weapons", and the other is the leading officer of the Han army.
Zhai Muhe couldn't understand how an officer who could make hundreds of people wait for death could be just a small officer commanding hundreds of people.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
At this time, a dull horn horn sounded again.
In front of Ding Lingbing's formation, heads were placed on the tips of spears for public display.
Ding Lingbing on the other side was already preparing for a new attack.
Because the Han army could not retreat, Ding Lingbing's dispatch seemed extremely calm.
However, everyone also knew that the Han army opposite them was not afraid of death at all. They had no other choice but to bite the bullet and exchange their lives for their lives.
"attack!"
When Zhai Muhe issued the order, nearly three thousand soldiers and horses began to attack Canglangyuan Fortress from all sides.
For this attack, almost all of Ding Lingbing's elite troops were deployed.
Zhai Muhe knew that he had been wasted here for too long. It was necessary to capture Canglangyuan Fortress as soon as possible without engaging in any more disputes of will.
"Hoo ho ho!"
As another attack by Ding Lingbing was about to begin, the sky became dark.
Waves of wind and sand drifted from the sky, making the atmosphere suddenly appear extremely strange.
