The battle between the city walls and outside the gates continued, and hundreds of catapults in the city kept throwing mud balls out of the city as if they didn't want money.

The rebels also seemed to have figured out the pattern, and after a few unsuccessful charges, they were out of range of the catapult.

Although the mud balls thrown from the city smashed happily, they could no longer hurt people outside the range; Su You stood at the head of the city and watched them move forward, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

After smashing a few more rounds of mud balls, Su You saw that the catapult was in vain, and immediately ordered, "The catapult in the city will stop for a while, and let everyone rest!" ”

Seeing the enemy shrink back, Zhang Long also gritted his teeth with hatred, "Sir, why don't you take someone down to kill for a while?" ”

Su You pursed his lips and said, "Your duty is to protect my thoughtfulness, and now I feel that I have gone too far when I use it as a bow and crossbow." But go down and put on the armor of the charge first, and leave some people on it symbolically to put on an empty plan. ”

The reason why Su You dared to let Zhang Long and them retreat was because he believed that the rebels would not be able to climb to the city wall head-on, after all, this Burmese Ning Pass was too narrow and tall, even if there was a team of crossbowmen missing, there were catapults, hot oil, sasswood, boulders, etc.

Second, I was still worried that the rebels might raid into the city from some secret road, and if the number of enemies was too large, it would be too risky to fight with the two thousand elites of Jian Guoming and Jian Guozhao.

Su You was not worried that the two thousand elites would not be able to fight to attack the enemy, but he was worried that the attrition of the two thousand people after the battle would be too serious, and it would be difficult for him to explain to Jian Guoming and Jia Guozhao at that time.

Thinking of these two people, Su You couldn't help but frown, it stands to reason that they should have rushed to this Lincang City in the past two days, why is there no news at all so far?

After thinking about it, Su You suddenly found that the attack under the city seemed to have started again, and this time they didn't seem to be tempting, but rushed to the city gate like crazy.

"The order goes down, the catapults in the city continue to fight, and the people at the head of the city are ready to pour hot oil and push the logs and boulders!" Su You drank loudly, and felt a sound of breaking wind coming from under the city

Apparently, while the catapult was resting, several thousand rebels suddenly rushed within range of their bows and arrows, and began to fire stray arrows at the walls.

Su You immediately hid in the bunker, and with a glance, he saw a fire rising in the southeast corner.

There is no doubt that the truth of the facts is really as Peng Sheng guessed, and now is the time when the attacking troops and the sneak attack troops set by Duan Ruqi will charge at Lincang City at the same time.

It's just that the shouting and killing sound here at the Mianning Pass is too loud, and Su You didn't hear the sound from the southeast corner, nor did he see the signal sent by the patrol over there after discovering the enemy!

After a round of bows and arrows, a patrol soldier who was sent out staggered back to the city gate, Zhao Hu asked a few words and then came over to report to Su Youdao, "There are thousands of rebels on the eastern path, the number is unknown, the only thing that can be confirmed is that they have no mounts, and their weapons are mainly knives and bows and arrows, and they may have climbed the cliff!" ”

After Su You listened, he immediately decided, "Send the order, order the guards at the East City Gate to let those sneak attackers enter the city, and order Zhao Man and Zhang Mu to take their soldiers to put on armor and take turns to ride horses and kill!" Ordered Zhang Long to lead 300 men out of the city from the direction of the dock, patrol the south gate all the way, and outflank them from behind the enemy! ”

The herald immediately took the order and left, and Su You continued, "The remaining three hundred people of the first team have returned to the city, and, Zhao Hu, your people have also come to the city!" ”

Of course, Zhao Hu understood what Su You meant, now that the rebels had rushed to the city wall, the catapult was obviously no longer able to play its real effect, but fortunately, the city wall was already full of mud balls and stones, and everyone could use it as a mobile catapult to throw the mud and stones on the city head down the city!

After Su You's order went down, there were three hundred more crossbowmen and five or six hundred soldiers who were still controlling the catapult just now in the city.

The addition of more than a thousand fresh troops suddenly made the rebels who had just unscrupulously fired arrows on the city wall fall one after another; Without the rebels' bows and arrows to suppress it, the people on the city head came out one after another, and a new round of hot oil and rolling wooden mud balls were suddenly pushed down one after another

The sound of bitter shouts from the city became loud, and the torch of probably one of the rebels fell to the ground, and the oil on the ground was immediately ignited, and in an instant, the oil fire ignited the clothes on the corpses or the soldiers who had been doused with hot oil.

The miserable situation under the city is like hell.

Su You watched the rebels retreat like a tide again, and couldn't help but sigh, "They still overestimate the strength of those sneak attackers, why not wait until the city gate is opened before rushing to kill?" ”

That being said, is it possible for Su You to open the gates of Lincang City?

Obviously not, because Peng Sheng had already piled up this city gate hole with bricks and stones with Su You's acquiescence, not to mention that sneak attackers or rebels could enter and exit from this city gate, even if Su You wanted to get out of here, it would take half a day to move away these bricks and stones.

Compared to this city gate, Dongcheng seems to be a little vulnerable.

The sneak attackers didn't make much effort when they entered the East City Gate, in fact, they just surrounded and didn't kill the hundred soldiers who went out to patrol the Lincang City.

The patrol soldiers returned to the forest like weary birds, and they fought and retreated, never thinking that they would be able to enter the city through the east gate; When they were about to pass by the gate of the city and go around to the pier to the north, they heard a shout from the city wall, "Come into the city quickly!" ”

Although the patrol members knew that the brothers in the city were saving their lives, they still inevitably cursed in their hearts, "Pig's head, this is!" ”

The situation in front of them was clear at a glance, although they were riding horses, but the rebels who were chasing after them also stole their brothers' horses, and if they rushed into the city themselves, it was inevitable that the rebels would also be introduced into the city.

It was originally just an instinct for the patrol members to retreat to the east gate, they never thought that the brothers on the city gate would open the door at this time, but the doors were open, how could there be any reason not to enter?

Dozens of patrolmen rushed to the city gate first, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not expect that there would be a mixture of enemies on horseback.

Therefore, the east gate was broken, and it was just three or two pawns who were killed by hand; With that, there were more than 2,000 rebels dressed in black clothes and black armor and armed with scimitars.

After these rebels entered the east gate, they went all the way south, apparently towards the city gate of the Myanin Pass.

When they arrived at the first intersection, they suddenly heard a shout of killing, but it was Zhao Man who came out of the oblique stab with a thousand Dongfu soldiers.

At the same time, Zhang Mu also brought a thousand soldiers to kill.

The soldiers commanded by Zhao Man and Zhang Mu are not heavy cavalry in the traditional sense, but after all, they are also cavalry, right?

Cavalry is not easy to raise, if you want to train a thousand cavalry, you need to spend materials that can train tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but why is there still a need for cavalry?

This is because cavalry can often be used as one against infantry, especially in some open fields.

At this time, Zhao Man and Zhang Mu led the cavalry to rush over at the same time, and the rebel sneak attackers did not dare to stop their edge even if they were iron men.

After two rounds of killing, nearly 100 of the soldiers of Dong and Xi were cut down by the rebels, and the infantry of the rebels were trampled and trampled to death, as many as five or six hundred.

After all, the streets of Lincang City were still too narrow and long, and the rebels' soldiers fought very bravely, even if the two cavalry took turns to rush and kill for a while, they did not penetrate the ranks of the rebels in the end.

Faced with the sudden arrival of the enemy, the leader of the rebel sneak attackers immediately shouted, "Formation! We consume them with bows and arrows! ”

With the command of the leader, these rebels immediately formed a pile of people on the three floors of the houses on the side of the road, and then bent their bows and arrows against the two groups of cavalry.

Zhao Man and Zhang Mu knew that rushing forward again at this moment would injure the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, but they still resolutely rushed to kill again, this time the casualties of the rebels were not much, but Zhao Man and Zhang Mu lost a total of more than 300 people.

In the face of the rebels' turtle tactics, Zhao Man and Zhang Mu obviously shouldn't worry too much, they just need to confront the enemy, after all, Lincang City does not belong to Duan Ruqi now, and they have reinforcements arriving at any time.

The leader of the rebel raiders was clearly aware of this, and it was clearly not the best strategy to retreat here.

Either rush south to the Myan-Ning Pass, take the city gate and let the main army of their own side rush into the city, which is also their original intention, but now the shouting and killing outside the Myanmar-Ning Pass is obviously not as good as before.

This will not say whether this person can open the gate of the city gate of the Myanin Pass, even if it is really opened, so what? I'm afraid that this will be outside the Mianning Pass, and I am afraid that I can't find a living person on my side within a hundred zhang, right?

The other way, where did it come from, and where did it go back?

The leader of the rebel sneak attackers looked back in the direction of the east gate, he didn't see the city gate at this time, but he was seventy percent sure that the east gate was still open at this moment, even if it was closed at the moment, it would not be difficult to hide from the east gate again

"Or, retreat to the east gate?" When the leader of the rebel sneak attackers was about to give the order to retreat, he suddenly felt a sudden sound of breaking wind behind him, and then several of his companions cried and called for their mother.

"Where did these mud balls come from?"

"Did they use a catapult with a weapon of mass destruction in the city?"

In the midst of the discussion, they could no longer see the two cavalry that had confronted them just now, and they could already guess what was going on. - This must have been the city's defenders using catapults to launch a devastating blow in this direction.

Before the leader of the rebel sneak attackers could react, the more than 200 catapults in the city commanded by Zhao Hu had already launched a second round of attacks.

"Obey my orders and retreat to the East Gate!" The leader of the rebel sneak attackers could only make the choice of retreat at this time, and after saying this, he retreated to the east gate surrounded by the guards.

The sneak attacker behind the palace was once again attacked by the mudball.
