As Cheng Yin was ready, he immediately set off from Yunwu County and rushed towards Caohan County.

After Cheng Yin sent half of the remuneration to Song Jian, Song Jian immediately ordered 15,000 people to kill Ma Teng's territory.

And Cheng Yin quickly rushed back to Cheng Gongying's military camp to stand by.

When Song Jian's troops slaughtered from Caohan County to Di Dao, the defenders in Di Dao immediately closed the city gates.

Then, the captain of the city gate immediately sent someone to inform the guard Ma Dai to go.

Seeing that the defenders of Di Dao closed the city gate, Song Jian stepped forward unhurriedly and shouted: "Listen, the people in the city, I am Song Jian, the general of Pingxi, who came today to come to conquer the rebels on the order of the Liangzhou Assassin Shi. ”

"I will give you a stick of incense time to consider, after a stick of incense, if the city gate is not opened, then don't blame my men for being merciless."

After shouting, Song Jianli immediately ordered his subordinates to repair in situ.

At this time, the soldiers sent out by the captain of the city gate also saw Ma Dai and reported to him about the enemy's attack.

As soon as Ma Dai heard that the enemy army was coming, he immediately rushed towards the city tower, because Pang De had taken away a large number of main forces, and if there was really an enemy attack, it would be a big crisis, after all, there were only about 3,000 defenders in Didao County.

When Ma Dai caught up with the city tower, the captain of the city gate immediately stepped forward and said, "General Ma, you are finally here." ”

"Captain Pan, what's the situation now?"

"Back to the general's words, the enemy army claimed to be Song Jian, the general of Pingxi, and he gave us a stick of incense to let us open the city and surrender, otherwise he would raise troops to attack the city, and he also claimed that after the city was broken, the chickens and dogs in the city were restless."

"Song Jian? Hasn't he been nesting around Caohan County all the time, how could he raise troops to attack? And the timing of the pick is so good. ”

Hearing this, Captain Pan did not answer, because his rank was not enough to understand Song Jian's thoughts.

After Ma Dai finished speaking, he looked out of the city.

After some observation, Ma Dai found that the army outside the city was indeed more like Song Jian's troops.

After confirming this, Ma Dai suddenly thought to himself: "Uncle is now far away in Jincheng and is fighting with Han Sui, and he has no strength to return in a short period of time, so I must hold on for more than half a month to win the turnaround." ’

Thinking of this, Ma Dai immediately said to Captain Pan: "Captain Pan, did Song Jian say that he would attack after a stick of incense?" ”

"Back to the general, it is indeed the time of a stick of incense."

Ma Dai looked at the sky and then called a personal soldier and said to him: "Ding Zhen, Song Jian is about to launch an attack on the city, and I order you to rush to Jincheng County within seven days to report this matter to the lord." ”

This Ma Dai soldier named Ding Zhen immediately left the city after receiving the order.

Not long after Ding Zhen left, the time for the incense stick given by Song Jian finally arrived.

When Song Jian found that the gate of Di Dao City had not been opened after a stick of incense, he immediately stepped forward again and shouted: "The time for a stick of incense has come, it seems that you are planning to be loyal to the Lord, since this is the case, then I have no choice but to fulfill you." ”

After speaking, Song Jian waved his hand and ordered: "All the soldiers listen to the order, you are limited to capture Di Dao for me within one hour." ”

As Song Jian's military order was handed down, the 15,000 men under his command immediately roared and began the siege battle with a rudimentary cloud ladder.

Seeing that Song Jianbu finally launched an attack, Ma Dai commanded the three thousand soldiers in the city to start defending the city.

After Song Jian's corporal approached the city tower fifty meters away, Ma Dai immediately ordered five hundred archers to fire arrows at Song Jianbu.

After a rain of arrows, although Song Jianbu killed and injured some people, he did not stop advancing, because the rain of arrows of 500 people was nothing more than scratching his boots for the attack of thousands of people.

Soon, the soldiers under Song Jian's command continued to build ladders.

Seeing the rapid offensive of Song Jianbu, Ma Dai calmly ordered the alternate soldiers to step forward and block the attack with rolling logs and boulders.

After being attacked by rolling logs and boulders, Song Jianbu's offensive finally slowed down.

Seeing this situation, Song Jian was not in a hurry, because these were common processes in siege warfare.

After repelling several waves of Song Jianbu's attacks, a soldier immediately stepped forward and said to Ma Dai: "General, the boulder and rolling wood are almost out of stock. ”

"What? What's going on? Why did the defense equipment run out so quickly? ”

"General, the enemy came suddenly, our army didn't have time to prepare, our city-guarding equipment was mainly stored in the warehouse at the north gate, and the city-guarding equipment was not prepared too much because there were fewer battles on the west gate."

"Then why don't you go and transport the equipment to defend the city?"

"General, the soldiers of our army are guarding the city at the city gate, and there are not enough people to transport it."

"Since there are not enough soldiers, then mobilize the people to transport, go quickly!"

Then, the soldier immediately went down the tower and mobilized the people to the North Gate warehouse for transportation.

Seeing that the soldier who had come to report had left, Ma Dai had no choice but to order the soldier to engage in hand-to-hand combat with spears and swords.

Without boulders and rolling logs, Song Jian's soldiers finally climbed the city tower in a steady stream.

Seeing this, Ma Dai brandished his spear and went into battle to kill the enemy himself.

Song Jian, who was under the city, saw that the defenders were no longer alive with boulders and rolling logs, and he immediately smiled with relief and said, "It seems that Di Dao will belong to me soon." ”

Turn to the castle tower.

Facing a steady stream of Song Jian's soldiers who continued to climb the city tower, Ma Dai began to put out fires everywhere, after all, Song Jian's numerical advantage was still relatively large.

With the support of Ma Dai, the defenders barely fought to a draw with Song Jianbu.

When there is a stalemate, an hour has passed.

When Song Jian found that he still couldn't conquer Di Dao after an hour, he suddenly said with some surprise: "I didn't expect this defender to be so tenacious and actually block the onslaught of our army for an hour, no, if it goes on like this, the morale of our army will definitely fall." ”

Then, Song Jianda shouted: "Where is Jiang Zhi?" ”

Jiang Zhi heard Song Jian's shout, he immediately rushed to Song Jian and replied: "The last general is here!" ”

"Jiang Zhi, the tenacity of this defender is beyond my expectations, and I order you to immediately ascend the city to assist in the attack."

"The last general obeys!"

Jiang Zhi then rode out and joined the siege team.

After following the soldiers to the city tower, Jiang Zhi immediately killed the defenders.

As a general under Song Jian, Jiang Zhi quickly made a gap.

With the emergence of a gap, a steady stream of siege soldiers began to fight in the city from Jiang Zhi's side.

When Ma Dai killed a few more soldiers, he finally discovered the situation on Jiang Zhi's side.

Seeing that a gap was opened by the enemy on the city tower, Ma Dai knew that if he continued, he would eventually face the situation of losing the city, and immediately followed, Ma Dai immediately shouted: "There are still soldiers with spare strength to drive the enemy down with me!" ”

Hearing this shout, those soldiers who still had spare strength quickly gathered around Ma Dai and began to kill Jiang Zhi's location.

When Jiang Zhi saw that the soldiers of the defenders were killing in his own direction under the leadership of the main general Ma Dai, he immediately laughed and said: "Jiang Zhi of Yuhan is here!" If you are not afraid of death, come up! ”

Seeing Jiang Zhi shouting, Ma Dai instantly locked Jiang Zhi's position and brandished a spear to kill him.
