Ma Yu led 50,000 southern Xinjiang troops, and the troops were divided into two routes:

5,000 people went all the way to block the reinforcements, and 45,000 people all the way to the Marquis Castle of Jiannan.

Half an hour later.

An army of 45,000 arrived outside the castle of the Marquis of Jiannan.

On the tall ramparts above the main entrance of the castle.

Chen Nan, Du Shi, and Chen Ruoxi looked at the black and oppressive enemy army, and the other party was holding torches, forming a huge fire cloud, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and they couldn't help but be shocked and angry!

There are too many enemies!

However, none of the 2,100 defenders on their side were afraid!

100 sharpshooters, needless to say, came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.

The other 2,000 private soldiers of the Marquis's Mansion are also loyal.

Chen Nan looked at the enemy troops outside the castle and asked in a deep voice:

"Why did you lead a large army and attack my Marquis Jiannan's Mansion in the middle of the night?!"

He really didn't know why the Southern Xinjiang Army came.

Jiannan City is located in the middle of nowhere, and what happened in the court has not yet spread here.

Ma Yu, who was riding on a tall horse, looked at the castle as magnificent as a city, and grinned at Jian Nanhou:

"Chen Nan, I'm going to ask that good son of yours, Chen Lingxiao!"

As soon as these words came out, Du Shi, Chen Ruoxi and others couldn't help but be worried.

Could it be that something happened to Chen Lingxiao in the royal capital?

"What do you mean?!" Jian Nanhou said coldly.

Ma Yu's Yin Yang Strange Qi Dao:

"Chen Lingxiao's dog thief fought against the third prince in the royal capital, and the third prince who was killed lost his qualification to take the heir and was imprisoned.

In the end, God blessed His Royal Highness the Third Prince and let him successfully escape from the prison and come to my southern Xinjiang province.

Chen Nan old thing, do you think your family should die?!

The third prince specially sent me to encircle and suppress your Jiannanhou Mansion.

If so, I don't want the people here to be implicated and become a hell on earth.

Ben Shuai advises you Chen Nan to obediently open the gate of the castle and surrender, and dedicate Chen Ruoxi to His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

If Chen Nan wants to use his mantis arm as a car, then when the army of Ben Shuai breaks through the Marquis's castle, he will definitely kill all the people in your fiefdom!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Nan, Du Shi, Chen Ruoxi and others were extremely angry, and the two thousand private soldiers of the Marquis Mansion were also angry and gritted their teeth.

The third prince rebelled, but he took the sword Nanhou to vent his anger!!

Chen Nan shot back coldly:

"Dream Your Spring and Autumn Dreams!!"

Seeing that the other party was so ignorant of current affairs, Ma Yu said murderously:

"Since, Chen Nan's old puppet is shameless, then don't blame me for being ruthless!

The former army listens to orders!

Kill an ordinary private soldier of Jiannanhou, and the commander will be rewarded with 1 gold coin;

Kill a Captain and reward 5 gold coins;

Kill a hundred households and reward 20 gold coins;

......

Kill Chen Nan and reward 1,000 gold coins;

Those who capture Chen Ruoxi alive will be rewarded with 2,000 gold coins.

Attacking the castle, the property inside was at your disposal, and the women inside were allowed to enjoy it except for Chen Ruoxi.

The front army is attacking in full force!!"

When the 20,000 former soldiers heard this, their blood boiled one by one, and the devil imprisoned in their hearts was released.

Knock! knock!!knock!!

Kill!!!kill!!

The general led 20,000 troops and pressed directly in the direction of the castle gate.

The drums of war roared, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

Ma Yu looked at the soldiers who rushed up, and he looked like he was winning.

To deal with Jiannanhou Castle, which only has two thousand private troops, twenty thousand people are enough.

This is 10 times the strength of the defenders, and if the castle cannot be taken again, the leading general can be dismissed and investigated.

Of course, the terrain in front of the castle is not very wide, and it can only accommodate 20,000 people to launch an attack at most, and no amount can accommodate it.

On the top of the city.

Bang dang!

Chen Nan drew his sword and said in a deep voice:

"Sons and daughters of the Marquis of Jiannan's Mansion, General Zhao Zilong's reinforcements will arrive soon, and these beasts will be slaughtered under the city today!"

"Kill the beasts under the city!!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

The first wave of the enemy army was only a hundred feet away from the castle, and a hundred sharpshooters loosened their bowstrings.

Phew-

Arrows flew like the scythe of death, shooting at the enemy.

Poof!

The arrows hit a hundred enemy soldiers, all of whom were killed by a single arrow, and they fell to the ground.

Moreover, the people who shot and killed were all low-level generals at the martial apprentice level such as Wu Chang and Baihu.

However, this did not stop the enemy's attack, and they still screamed and screamed to kill.

The coach's reward is too generous and coveted.

Woooo

The sharpshooter continued to shoot, picking out the low-level generals of the Martial Apprentice Realm.

Two rounds of shooting cost the lives of 200 low-ranking generals.

In this way, no matter how many low-level generals there are, they can't withstand the shooting of strong marksmen!

There are only more than 2,000 troops in 20,000 troops, including captains and low-level officers at the hundred-household level.

The general who was in charge of commanding the front army decisively ordered the shield-bearer to raise his shield to protect the junior generals.

Although these people are not of high rank, the fiercest battles are commanded by low-level generals.

If all the low-ranking generals are killed, the soldiers will be like headless flies that have lost their heads, buzzing and jumping, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Although protected by shield soldiers.

But there is no use for eggs.

The archery skills of the sharpshooters are too good.

Their arrows can penetrate through the gaps in their shields, killing soldiers and low-ranking generals under their shields.

The commander of the enemy's former army also let his own archers suppress and cover the advance of the army.

However, the distance was too far for these ordinary archers to reach the marquis's private army at the head of the city.

When the enemy army was less than 100 paces away from the castle, 500 archers from the Marquis's Mansion also bent their bows and arrows to shoot.

They don't have the same good archery skills as the marksmen, and they can only shoot intensively.

In the face of 20,000 enemy troops, the effect of intensive shooting is also very good.

At this moment, the archers of the enemy army finally launched a counterattack.

However, the effect is not great, and their bows and arrows can't hurt the sharpshooters of Jian Nanhou.

The armor worn by the other party was made of steel made by Chen Lingxiao using the new steelmaking method, and ordinary arrows could not shoot through.

The two thousand and one hundred soldiers of Jiannanhou were all dressed in such armor.

Moreover, even their heads were wrapped in helmets, only one pair of eyes were exposed, and several small holes were opened in the mouth and nose for breathing.

In this way, if the enemy archer wants to shoot Sir Hou's soldiers, he can only shoot through his eyes, which is devilish.

It's impossible to do it!

When the enemy army was less than fifty paces away from the castle, the remaining 1,500 marquis' private troops also raised their special brackets.

To be precise, this is the Zhuge Repeater made by Lu Ban according to the drawings given by the lord.

Its range is relatively short, not as far as a bow and arrow, and it can only wait for the enemy to enter within fifty paces before it can shoot, causing huge casualties to the enemy.

The 1,500 soldiers' Zhuge repeater crossbows were aimed at the enemy and slammed into the crossbows.

Woo Woo Woo ~ Suddenly, a dense array of arrows rained down on the enemy.

Woo Woo Woo ~ They continuously snapped the motive bracket, and the Zhuge repeater could shoot five times in a row, and the power was amazing.

After five consecutive shots, nearly 1,000 enemy soldiers fell with arrows.

Then, they put down the Zhuge Repeater that had been shot into the air, took out another Zhuge Repeater, and continued to shoot at the enemy.

The empty Zhuge repeater was reloaded by the servants who hid behind to help load the crossbow arrows.

When the enemy approached the castle, more than half of the junior generals were shot by the sharpshooters.

Ordinary soldiers were also shot in the thousands.

The combat effectiveness of Jiannanhou's private army,

Strong!too strong!!strong pervert!!

The former army general, who was in charge of commanding the battle, gasped when he saw this scene, and his face became ugly.

He looked at the rear coach Ma Yu as if asking for help.

At this moment, Ma Yu's expression was also extremely gloomy!

Originally, he thought that the 20,000 former army would be able to break through Jiannanhou Castle before dawn!

I didn't expect this ending!

His 20,000 troops only rushed under the city walls, and nearly a third of them were lost.

Ma Yu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"All the archers are out of line to support the front army!"

He wanted to take advantage of the numerical superiority of his archers to suppress the enemy army.

Of course, this is also useless work.
