Chapter 282: Fill the river first, make a decision, and then retreat the army, and plan a strange move

The Kansai drum is beaten heavily.

In Ma Jun's field of vision, the enemy camp was all dispatched.

Could it be that they are going to attack?

"General, stand aside and beware of the enemy's cold arrows!"

A guard whispered a reminder beside him.

"It's okay, I'm on top, they're down, and I'm afraid! Archer, the enemy is close to eighty paces, give me a hard shot! ”

Ma Jun gave the order, thinking, I can't attack it, and you don't want to attack it easily.

At this time, he obviously didn't see that while the army was moving together, another group of men and horses had quietly left.

And Lin Zhijing's attack was not a bluff.

The first wave of attacks was the wild bombardment of beds and stones, and they were all a hundred paces away from the city, which made Ma Jun's defense somewhat ineffective. The archers could only hide under the battlements, unable to open their eyes from the flying stones. There were also sergeants who could not dodge, were shot or struck, and let out a wail of pain.

But this is war, and since the war has begun, there are dead and wounded. Ma Jun is also helpless, the attack is always active, and these losses are also within a reasonable range.

Under the cover of beds and stones, the foot soldiers also quickly approached the city walls.

However, across the moat, it is not so easy to climb to Shinno Castle. Lin Zhijing has also taken this into account.

Hundreds of ox carts were pushing along with the footmen. On the car, there are sandbags and dirt bags. A moat that is not too wide can eventually fill in a path.

In the second wave of attacks, a group of knights drew their bows and shot angrily at the city. Under the rain of arrows, the defenders of Xinye still couldn't raise their heads for a long time.

Under the cover of these two waves of attacks, the foot soldiers had successfully advanced to the moat.

At this time, not caring about the danger of being shot by the defenders at the head of the city, the foot soldiers threw sandbags and dirt bags into the water.

"Put!"

Ma Jun, who finally caught his breath a little, gave a cold order.

Sou......

The bowstring was raised, and the arrows flew down to the city.

Yes......

The screams immediately rang out. However, no one retreats easily.

The knights galloped like the wind again, and shot at each other, and the arrows were no less than hundreds in the city and down the city.

The water of the moat gradually turned red, and many of the foot soldiers who had been shot fell into the water.

Lin Zhijing watched quietly from a distance, feeling sad and helpless. All sacrifices are sad, but all sacrifices are also necessary. The goal of today's assault is not whether or not to capture the city, but to fill in a path to the city.

"Mingjin, collect the troops!"

After seeing that all the sandbags and dirt bags were thrown into the moat, Lin Zhijing gave the order, and the gong was sounded.

As a result, the sword and shield soldiers pressed back, and the besieging foot soldiers retreated in an orderly manner.

"Stop!"

Above the city, Ma Jun also waved his hand and stopped shooting.

Arrows, after all, are also limited. After a burst of fire, the enemy suffered significantly greater casualties, but almost half of their own arrows were fired. And later, there must be a vicious battle to be fought.

Ma Jun looked at the enemy troops who were receding like a tide, and looked at the moat that had been filled in like a few dams, and couldn't help frowning again. Now that the dry season is approaching, the water of the White River is really shallow. If the enemy army comes to fill it again, it is impossible to say, and this moat will be filled into Yangguan Avenue.

What to do?

Ma Jun groaned, for a long time, he held the knife and looked coldly at the soldiers.

"Brothers, the enemy army is bound to win against Xinye. Therefore, please brothers must cheer up and not relax. I expected that when the Ninghou soldiers arrived, the enemy army would retreat. For today's plan, prepare iron pots and boulders on the city as soon as possible, and the lights will be kept day and night to strictly prevent the enemy from attacking at night! ”

"Yes!"

All the soldiers listened to the order in unison.
