Sun Kuang was excited when he saw Zhou Yin, and he was also deeply infected, "Okay! It's come to such a desperate situation, Lao Tzu will fight it, let me do this offending job! Even with a knife, I will have them sent to the front! ”

Zhou Yin and Sun Kuang never expected that his idea of using his henchmen to control the various battalion leaders of the Liberation Army would be realized in this way.

As he was talking, another horse came running, and this time the horse was replaced by a stout Li Fei.

Li Fei also shouted loudly, "Have you received the previous order?" My lord must hold on until night! ”

Ma Yan waved his hand, and Li Fei hurriedly ran away.

Ma Yan's heart suddenly moved, and his eyes lit up, "Quick!" Let's take advantage of the fact that the Liyang army has not yet attacked, and hurry up and send your letter of request for peace! ”

Zhou Yin said helplessly, "Is it useful, I'm afraid that someone will see through it soon!" ”

Ma Jian gritted his teeth and said, "A quarter of an hour more is a quarter of an hour!" I don't believe it, we can't even defend it! ”

Ma Jian hurriedly arranged for the messenger to go out to deliver the letter.

The envoy did not fight, and still followed Ma Zhong's old practice in Jingzhou, and let people go out of the village under the big white flag.

This time, the Liyang Army had clearly seen the reality in the Jiangdong Army camp and swarmed out directly.

Ma Tan watched a large number of soldiers and horses pour out of the city gate, and then lowered the drawbridge with a "bang", crossed the moat like an ant stream, and began to climb over the fortifications and barricades that had been set up before.

Ma Jian shouted, "Someone, give orders quickly, and let them prepare for a death battle!" ”

Zhou Yin also barely mustered up his courage at this time, and climbed the watchtower to watch the enemy's approach.

The soldier with the big white flag soon met the advance of the Liyang army, perhaps the big white flag in his hand played a role, or maybe the other party wanted to capture a prisoner.

The soldier was lucky enough to be caught.

Then the soldier hurriedly shouted that he was the messenger of the troubled soldiers.

When the soldiers who came out of the first army heard about this, they did not dare to make a decision on their own, so they hurriedly sent the messenger to the rear.

But the soldiers continued to attack, and soon crossed those troublesome ravines.

Then in front of them was a deep ditch dug by the trouble-relieving soldiers overnight.

Although the Annoyance Relief Soldier is very capable of engineering, it is not an exaggeration to do it overnight, and the trench is dug extremely deep, and the width is much worse.

Fortunately, Liyang City is not too big, and it can barely be encircled.

You must know that the city at this time is not as exaggerated as in later generations.

The largest city in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital Luoyang, is only nine miles from north to south and six miles from east to west. There is a special point in this, because the two numbers six and nine represent the kun hexagram and the qian hexagram, which have a deep philosophical connotation.

Later, with the development of society, and the large population, the city was slightly larger, Chang'an and Luoyang in the Sui and Tang dynasties, were fifteen miles from north to south.

Six plus nine, the two hexagrams of Qiankun are alive.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the city of Beijing was larger, with a central axis of about 15 kilometers, almost doubling again.

Even the eastern capital of Luoyang is only the scale of a sixty-nine city, and this Liyang City is only a three-mile city.

Although the annoying soldiers barely dug the trench and sealed the Liyang City, but in front of the prepared Liyang army, it hardly played a role, with the long wooden planks erected on the trench, those Liyang troops almost killed in front of the wall of the Nanban camp as if they were walking on the ground.

Then Zhou Yin, who was looking upstairs, shouted, "Be careful!" The opposite side is going to shoot a salvo! ”

Before the words fell, many archers rushed out from the front army, and shot at the camp!

Although the trench of the relieved soldiers was dug in a hurry, the camp that was blocked directly opposite the city gate was solidly repaired for several days!

In the past, all the fortifications that were handy were available.

In particular, the predecessor of the Liberation Battalion was the Captain Battalion of Wu Meng, which served as a prodigal army. Captain Wu Meng's battalion is the standard poor force, and it has always been the one that has been suppressed when it comes to fighting.

The previous battles also made the Captain Wu Meng battalion suffer enough. So they're already well versed in preventing long-range attacks.

The soldiers guarding the front line of the Nanban battalion all shrank within the wall, preparing to counterattack the Liyang army that was attacking the village.

Although Ma Zhong's defense design never thought of such a strange need for air defense, because of the angle problem, it was really difficult for the bed crossbow placed on the city tower to be effective in the face of the troublesome soldiers hiding in various fortifications.

Therefore, in this round of attacks, neither the loud crossbows on the city walls nor the powerful arrows shot by the charging Liyang army had any effect.

Of course, the advantage of the Liyang army's vision will not be wasted, seeing that it will not take any advantage, with a few horns and flags changing, those archers quickly withdrew and replaced themselves with fully armed elite foot soldiers ready to attack over the wall.

Ma Tan looked at it and felt a little more down-to-earth in his heart, but fortunately, there were not many others outside Liyang City, but there were many pits. The ravines dug everywhere were dug by both the Liyang army and the trouble-relieving soldiers, and there were potholes everywhere, and it was impossible to use siege equipment at all.

In fact, this was originally a means for the Liyang Army to restrict the siege of the city, but I didn't expect these obstacles and fortifications to be used on their heads.

As the Liyang army began to attack the village, the southern barbarian soldiers, who were originally demoralized, responded one after another according to their own training.

As soon as the routine of the defensive master level was introduced, those soldiers who were originally nervous slowly found their rhythm.

However, the morale of the rainbow Liyang army used that ferocious momentum to suppress the southern barbarian soldiers almost untenable.

At this moment, suddenly several soldiers in large armor stood up with a shout, roaring, "The violent death pawn has not retreated, who dares to break my front." ”

As he spoke, the soldiers roared and rushed forward.

These violent deaths are worthy of being the strongest elite soldiers selected from the army, and they all hone their fighting skills every day. It was just a short charge, and the front of the Liyang Army in front of him was in a panic.

The soldiers of the Nanban battalion saw the strength of these soldiers who died violently, and one by one finally mustered up the courage to stabilize the current front.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a thunderclap-like shout from behind me, "You bastards, you actually lost Lao Tzu's face in front of outsiders!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Nanban battalion turned their heads together, and then they lifted their spirits and shouted loudly, "The army is back!" ”

"The military is back!"

Behind the soldiers of the Nanban Battalion, a sturdy man who was fully armed and showed his teeth was none other than Ding Feng, the military officer of the Nanban Battalion.

Ding Feng was the spiritual pillar of the Nanban battalion, and his return immediately boosted the morale of the Nanban battalion.

Ding Feng saw the soldiers of the Nanban battalion looking at him excitedly, and couldn't help but be furious, "Look at it!" Hurry up and fight for Lao Tzu! If any of the bastards stood behind the violent death pawn, Lao Tzu would unscrew his head! ”
