At this time, Li Cunqiao laughed, although Yuan Tan's attack was a few days earlier than he expected, he was not worried at all. When Li Keyong sent Li Ling, he had already expected Yuan Shao's reaction, so the defense of Pingcheng had already been prepared. There were still 5,000 troops in the city, and although the attack was weak, it was more than enough to resist Yuan Tan's attack. Moreover, he had already discovered that Yuan Tan's siege equipment was really pitiful, and he understood that Yuan Tan was just doing this for pretence—although he didn't know what Yuan Tan was for.

"Soldiers, defend me! Everyone has a reward after holding it! ”

Li Cunmiao shouted, and with the sound of artillery, the attack officially began.

"Drop! Detected Li Cunmiao's skill table trigger - Force +4, Command +2, Intelligence +1, the current Li Cunmiao's force has been increased to 101, Command has been increased to 93, and Intelligence has been increased to 83."

Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche followed the ladder in the hands of the soldiers, and fought bravely towards the city wall together. As soon as the ladder was erected, there were many people rushing to climb up, and the rolling stones and trees on the city wall fell down together, and the screams sounded instantly, and many Yuan troops continued to fall down from the ladders, although some people continued to climb up, but the number of ladders was not much, as long as Li Cunqiao guarded some places, he could completely prevent the attack of the Yuan army.

Xue Wanche kept crawling at this time, carefully avoiding the dangers thrown down from the city wall, but in the face of the rain of arrows and rolling stones, he was still accidentally hit by an arrow, he gritted his teeth and continued to climb, regardless of any pain on his body. His bravery infected the soldiers around him, and they all continued to climb despite their lives.

Xue Wanche held a short knife in his hand, climbed up step by step, and was almost on the city wall, Li Jun in front of him was close at hand, only to see Xue Wanche leap hard, slashed and killed a Pingcheng defender, just stood firm, only to see an iron halberd roaring from behind. Xue Wanche was frightened, and immediately flashed, but his feet were unstable, and he fell from the place he had just come up, but fortunately, he was quick and grabbed the cloud ladder at once, so that he would not fall directly into the city.

"Hmph, Xue Clan! Give me death! Li Cunqiao laughed.

The arrow wound Xue Wanche had just received was still painful, but Li Cunqiao stabbed at Xue Wanche with another halberd. Xue Wanche was furious, and with a blow of the short knife in his hand, he opened Li Cunmiao's iron halberd a little, and then quickly used his other hand to grab Li Cunqing's iron halberd. Immediately after pulling hard, unguarded, Li Cunmiao was almost dragged down.

Li Cunqiao didn't expect this Xue Wanche to have such strength, he exerted all his strength, and then he used his strength, where was Xue Wanche's opponent with one hand, he was dragged and almost went up, Xue Wanche had to quickly let go, his feet were unstable, and he slid a few steps along the ladder, and the soldiers below were a little unfortunate and fell directly down the ladder, and let out a burst of screams.

The siege lasted for nearly two hours, except for the time when Xue Wanche forcibly waited for a few breaths just now, no one was able to climb up, Yuan Tan's face was ugly, but there were more and more casualties, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

"General, withdraw your troops! It's not the way to go! The casualties of the soldiers are too serious! Xin Ping shouted bitterly.

Yuan Tan sighed, but there was no way, and he gave the order to withdraw his troops.

In this battle, Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun were all wounded, and the army suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

"Isn't my Yuan Tan destined to get ahead?" He muttered to himself sadly as he drank.

At this moment, I saw Xin Ping coming from outside, arching his hand to Yuan Tan and saying, "Eldest son, how can you be so decadent when you encounter a little setback?" Drinking in the army will inevitably lead to truthfulness, and I hope that the eldest son will be self-disciplined! ”

Yuan Tan drank another glass, and then laughed and said: "Mr. Zhongzhi, I don't want to be decadent, but now Mr. wanted to find me a chance to make meritorious contributions, but I was hindered by Li Ya'er, and the siege of the city was fruitless, in front of my father, what face do I have?" My father favors my third brother alone, what future can I have? ”

"The eldest prince, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but why are you willing to fall because of a small defeat? This is not the work of the Lord! As for retreating from the enemy, in fact, there is another way for subordinates, you can try it. ”

Yuan Tan just stopped at the side of his mouth with the wine glass, Xin Ping's words made him flutter for a moment, then put the wine glass down, quickly got up, came to Xin Ping in three or two steps, and asked, "Please teach me, sir!" ”

"Now the enemy is clear, and the friend is undecided, but the enemy is a friend. Although Li Keyong raised troops to invade the territory, he did not dare to raise the country's troops to come, that is, because of the rise of Xianbei alien races, I heard that there are now two new leaders of alien tribes, one is called Wanyan Aguta, and the other is called Murong Jun, who has a lot of military and military skills, and he is also eyeing Yanmen Li Keyong. If the prince is willing, he can secretly send an envoy to form an ally, and order his troops to go to Yanmen, and Li Ke will use his belly to suffer the enemy, then Li Lin will inevitably withdraw his army, which is a plan to kill people with a knife! ”

Xin Ping whispered, but Yuan Tan frowned and asked rhetorically: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different!" If nothing good, how can they help me? ”

"The eldest prince is the eldest son of the lord! In the future, he will inherit the lord and lord and the legitimate person of power, and the prince can secretly promise his food, grass, money, and several counties, and people of different races, most of whom are greedy, how can they not obey? ”

"This must not be done! It's okay to say that money, food, and grass are all good, if you allow him to land in the state and county, one day my father will know, and I really won't have the day to turn over! Besides, even if I can really inherit my father's great cause, I will be abused by the world. I, Yuan Tan, can't afford this crime. ”

Xin Ping's opinion made Yuan Tan's face change greatly, he still knew some major rights and wrongs, once this kind of thing was done, he really had no way back.

"Those who achieve great things are not informal! Eldest son, the situation is critical now, if you don't use extraordinary methods, how can you do extraordinary things? Not to mention that the eldest prince and the alien race reached an alliance, they will definitely not reveal each other's secrets, even if the prince inherits the great cause, but he can not fulfill the promise at that time, if they dare to have any opinions, the prince will raise the power of the three states, what are the alien races afraid of? In this way, not only will he not be insulted, but he will also become a hero who will raise the prestige of our country. Please think again! ”

Yuan Tan fell silent, Xin Ping's suggestion really moved his heart, and he had no reason to refuse; If he didn't do this, he would have no way out, he knew that Yuan Shang was now sent to Qingzhou by Yuan Shao, obviously Yuan Shao's preference.

In fact, his subordinates had already thought of this plan, but they were also worried that there would be problems, so they didn't dare to bring it up. But if you don't adopt it now, the future is worrying! That's why his subordinates are willing to risk their lives to put forward this plan, as for whether to do it, please make a decision! ”
