Chapter 248

Because the County Magistrate and County Commandant died in battle, the garrison strength and morale of Zhending County's units were already minimal.

Su Li counted the number of people.

The number of units in the large Zhending City was only less than ten thousand left.

It seems that the ability of the Black Mountain Army leader Zhang Zhang Niujiao is not weak.

It is estimated that if he had arrived a few days later, Zhending City would have been gone.

But fortunately.

Most of the units left behind were elites, among which there were three thousand cavalry.

Most of the units left behind in Zhending City were elites, among which there were three thousand cavalry.

For Su Li, it was instead a rare wealth.

Moreover, Zhending City was also a medium-sized city one level larger than White Cloud City, possessing arrow towers, bed crossbows, and two catapults.

Coupled with the troops he brought with him.

Su Li believed that they could completely hold Zhending County.

As long as they held Zhending County, they could use the excuse of preventing the bandits from coming to ravage Zhending again to forcibly move into Zhending.

For any player or local NPC faction that has traveled here, having their own territory and expanding their territory is crucial for the future carving up of the world by heroes.

With territory, there is more resources, manpower, and reputation.

…………

On the other side.

The Black Mountain Army channel commander Zhang Zhang Niujiao led a dense army like a dark cloud marching toward Zhending City.

The Black Mountain Army soldiers who escaped from the valley had long since found Zhang Zhang Niujiao and complained to him that a troop had raided the valley and looted all the resources of the Black Mountain Army.

When Zhang Zhang Niujiao heard that the stronghold had been raided, and that the gold, silver, equipment, and even food and grass had been emptied, he was furious at the time.

"Who is it that dared to loot the things of me, Zhang Zhang Niujiao!"

"According to what the little ones learned later."

"It should be that White Cloud City Lord Su Li, who has been in the limelight recently!"

Zhang Zhang Niujiao's originally furious face suddenly turned gloomy.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

Su Li's fame for breaking the bandit leader Zhang Jiao and others during the Yellow Turban Rebellion had already spread in Jizhou.

Even Zhang Zhang Niujiao felt wary.

And at this time.

A Black Mountain Army scout also hurried to report: "Leader, it's bad, after the Zhending County Magistrate and County Commandant died, the Changshan Administrator sent the White Cloud City Lord Su Li to help, and he has already moved into Zhending City!"

"Damn it, it's this Su Li again, he actually dares to appear in front of me. Let's go, little ones, follow me, capture Zhending, and kill that shitty outlander lord!"

Wary as he was, Zhang Zhang Niujiao, leading tens of thousands of troops, was not afraid, and immediately sent troops to attack Zhending City.

After all, the stronghold had already been uprooted; if they did not capture a city for supplies, they would probably collapse on their own due to food and grass problems.

…………

…………

Zhending City.

Su Li came to the camp under the city and began to gather the units.

The less than ten thousand units in the city were currently under the control of Zhending County.

He could not command them yet.

There must be a handover process.

Of course!

This process was not complicated either.

It was just that Su Li gathered everyone and said a few words, saying that now that the Zhending County Magistrate and County Commandant had died in battle, the Changshan Administrator had specifically asked him to take charge of the affairs of Zhending County, and so on.

Currently, Zhending County also lacked a backbone.

These unit NPCs, whose morale had already been greatly reduced, naturally did not have many questions and converted to Su Li's command.

These units were elites who had survived the great war.

Among them were three thousand heavy cavalry, which were the elites among elites.

Su Li specifically checked the unit proficiency of these cavalry.

They had already reached the intermediate level, and were only one step away from advanced proficiency.

If it were before, it would have required several more great battles to pull the proficiency to the advanced level.

But now, after converting to his command.

Under the bonus of the hundredfold growth talent, perhaps it would only take one battle to successfully break through the proficiency to the advanced level.

At that time, they could be converted into the three thousand Red Blood Cavalry special unit type through the elite camp.

"Big brother, the Black Mountain Army is at the city walls!"

Zhao Yu suddenly reported.

"Hmm!"

Su Li nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Zhao Yu: "These three thousand heavy cavalry will be temporarily handed over to you to lead."

"When we confront the Black Mountain Army later, Sister Xiao Yu, you must lead them to fight bravely and at the same time ensure their safety."

"Sister Xiao Yu understands!"

Seeing Zhao Yu nod, Su Li felt relieved and came to the city wall.

At this time, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang led their respective units and appeared on the city wall, looking down at the dense Black Mountain Army outside the city.

Su Li looked out.

Roughly estimated, there were three or four hundred thousand.

Leader Zhang Zhang Niujiao led so many troops to besiege Zhending City, obviously not capturing Zhending City, and would not give up.

This time, it was not like the Battle of Yecheng.

Su Li had no friendly forces and could only rely on his own strength to defeat the menacing Black Mountain Army.

Seeing the Black Mountain Army getting closer and closer to Changshan City, Guan Hai suggested carelessly: "My lord, they are just a group of Black Mountain petty thieves; when we were there before, they didn't dare to be presumptuous."

"Let me lead the brothers to kill out of the city directly and defeat them in one fell swoop."

"My lord, it's better to let me, Zhou, go."

"Let you see, the troops I, Zhou, trained are definitely stronger than this guy's!"

Zhou Cang was not to be outdone and took the initiative to ask for battle, also taking the opportunity to step on Guan Hai.

"Damn it, why are your troops stronger? It's clearly the troops I, Old Guan, trained that are stronger!"

Guan Hai naturally was not to be outdone and looked at Zhou Cang fiercely.

"Alright, you two rivals, stop arguing."

"We will not take the initiative to attack for now, just wait for them to come and kill."

Su Li shook his head and was not in a hurry to defeat the enemy.

The one who should be really anxious is Zhang Zhang Niujiao, after all, they just uprooted the Black Mountain Army's stronghold in Changshan Commandery.

They want more than anything to capture Zhending County and use it as a resource supply point.

After Zhang Zhang Niujiao arrived at the city walls, he began to send people to build siege weapons.

Actually, it could not be considered building, just reassembling the previous siege weapons.

Soon the Black Mountain Army assembled a batch of scaling ladders and siege chariots, and could not wait to start the siege.

"Break the city, leave no one alive!"

Zhang Zhang Niujiao personally supervised the battle, and the dense Black Mountain Army was like a dark cloud, fiercely attacking Zhending City!
