Chapter 146: Dingyang Falls

At 3 p.m., at the foot of Dingyang city.

The general leading Xiao Yifei's vanguard was named Peng Qing, who was convening a meeting of the main generals in the camp outside the city.

"We have 20,000 men, and there are only 5,000 defenders in the city. I believe that within five days, we will be able to capture Dingyang City."

Peng Qing stood in front of the generals with confidence and encouraged their morale:

"Our army is strong and our morale is high. As long as we unite as one and fight bravely, we will surely be able to capture the enemy city!"

Then, Peng Qing began to talk about his carefully planned battle plan.

He planned to divide the soldiers in the army into several large groups, and each group would take turns going to the front line to attack the enemy.

This ensures that the army always maintains strong combat effectiveness.

They would also adopt the strategy of continuous siege, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe or rest.

After hearing the plan, all the generals were eager to try and expressed their strong support.

They were all looking forward to the upcoming battle and expressed their willingness to go all out to capture the enemy's city as soon as possible.

Peng Qing was very satisfied with everyone's mental state, and immediately sent a pigeon message to Xiao Yifei, stating that "the battle will be ended within five days."

The next morning, just after daybreak, Peng Qing's troops began to attack the city.

The group of soldiers whose turn it was to attack the city advanced bravely with high morale, while the soldiers who did not participate in the siege were allowed to rest on the spot.

The next day, another group of soldiers attacked the city.

This continued until the fourth day, when the defenders in the city could no longer hold out and opened the city gates and surrendered.

After four days, Peng Qing's casualties were less than two thousand.

Peng Qing led his troops and successfully entered Dingyang City.

After entering the city, they quickly changed their roles from offense to defense.

The soldiers began to actively build various fortifications.

They set up watchtowers and arrow towers on the city walls to strengthen surveillance of enemy forces outside the city.

At the same time, trenches were dug and traps were set up in the city to guard against enemy attacks.

In addition, Peng Qing also organized a patrol team to patrol the city walls and every corner of the city day and night to ensure that nothing was missed.

The construction of these fortifications not only enhanced the defense of Dingyang City, but also gave Peng Qing's troops more time to rest and train.

The news that "On July 20, the Southern Army led by Peng Qing occupied Dingyang City" reached Chu Tiancheng three days later.

July 23, noon.

Chu Tiancheng was holding a meeting in the carriage.

He looked at the map and said to everyone, "We will be able to reach Dingyang City at noon tomorrow."

"Are the 100,000-strong army besieging Dingyang City?" Qin Rubing asked.

Zhou Zihan said first: "I suggest that we divide our troops into 20,000 and continue to march south to occupy Kunyang."

Qin Rubing said: "This is a good idea. This princess will also go to Kunyang."

Chu Tiancheng was stunned, "Why are you going to Kunyang?"

"Fighting?" Qin Rubing replied.

"No, you have to follow me." Chu Tiancheng said domineeringly.

Qin Rubing smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I am not a three-year-old child. I don't need you to take care of me. I want to go to war!"

Zhou Zihan and Zuo Qingyun both looked at Qin Rubing in surprise.

"Princess, this is a war, not an outing." Zhou Zihan thought to himself but did not say it out loud.

Qin Rubing glanced at the two of them and thought, "You can't stop me anyway."

While Chu Tiancheng and Zhou Zihan were further discussing the battle plan, Qin Rubing returned to his carriage.

"Xiaoyu!"

"I'm here."

"Let me see what Xiao Yifei is doing."

"Yes, Master. Turn on the surveillance camera."

Qin Rubing looked intently at the real-time image appearing in her mind.

She couldn't help but gasp. Xiao Yifei's large army had already assembled, with a total of 40 people.
