Chapter 291 Building a Cloud Ladder, the East Gate is Difficult to Fall, Sealing the Way to Retreat, and the General Future
Ma Rubao, who hated his teeth at the east gate, heard the sound of killing in front of him, and knew that Lin Zhijing had already begun to attack.
So, the so-called "you sing and I will appear", Ma Rubao, who had rested for a while, quickly gathered his troops and launched an attack on the east gate.
The defenders of the east gate did not dare to relax at all, first with a burst of bows and arrows to block the enemy, and then with rolling stones, but still could not stop the sergeants who could not stop Ma Rubao and set up a ladder.
Knock, knock!
The timber was also pushed to the city gate by the sergeants at the risk of death, and the sound of the crash came rhythmically, which made people tremble when they heard it.
Behind the city gate, under the arrangement of Ma Jun, there were first a few large stones against it, followed by several heavy rejection horses waiting in battle, and then behind, a team of sword and shield soldiers was gearing up, and about fifty steps away from the sword and shield soldiers, there were several rows of archers, plus a team of elite cavalry.
Ma Junjiu waited for reinforcements to come, and he already felt that there was a lot of bad luck, so he also put a lot of effort into defense. In this way, even if Ma Rubao's troops break through the city gate, they will encounter many obstacles. In the end, it is bound to enter the most brutal street fighting.
Of course, Ma Rubao, who is not good at siege, does not have many ways, and in the case of not having the advantage of troops, although he spent the lives of many soldiers to rush to the city gate, he still could not break the gate smoothly.
After the ladder was erected, it was lifted away from the city wall, and the sergeants at the bottom of the escalator could not support it after all, and some of the sergeants who were still hanging on the ladder were shot by the defenders at the head of the city.
"Fuck it!"
Ma Rubao was so angry that he was smoking, and when he lifted the long knife, he was about to rush over.
"General, calm your anger, even if you pass this situation, what can you do?"
The guard next to him could see it clearly, and stood in front of his horse.
"So what?"
Ma Rubao was a little frustrated.
He likes to do it happily, and he likes to do it with one knife and one shot at a time, like this, "the dog bites the hedgehog, and there is nowhere to go", which really makes him feel aggrieved.
"General, retire!"
Seeing that this wave of attacks still did not work, the guards arched their hands and begged Ma Rubao to withdraw his troops in order to reduce the losses.
When, when......
The gong struck again.
Mingjin withdrew his troops, the rules in the army, and the soldiers who were besieging the city hurriedly retreated in an orderly manner.
By the time they all came down, after the sergeants' preliminary checks, and the previous wave of attacks, more than a thousand brothers had already died here.
"General, don't be too sad, the horse leather shroud is the duty of the soldiers, no matter what, with us here, we will definitely be able to contain a lot of enemy troops."
The guard saw the matter quite clearly, and comforted Ma Rubao politely.
This is the truth, at first, Ma Jun could focus on dealing with Lin Zhijing's army on the other side of the river, but now, he has to be on guard against attacks from behind. In this way, it is necessary to be distracted and divide the army.
"You have a point, brothers, camp on the spot!"
Ma Rubao is not a stupid person, he is a veteran on the battlefield, how can he not understand this simple truth?
Anyway, you don't dare to rush out, Lao Tzu is blocking you like this, what can you do?
"Block all the way out of town, hmph, I'd like to see how long this pony can hold out!"
Ma Rubao finally calmed down.
It's easy to do now, as soon as Lin Zhijing attacks on that side, this side responds, and Ma Jun never stops. And cutting off Ma Jun's retreat, he will eventually have a day when he can't hold on.
I don't know what happened to General Wang?
Ma Rubao couldn't help but worry about Wang Lianglai again. In this area, the terrain is flat, and there are many wild lands, so there is really no danger to defend. The reason why he assigned most of the sergeants to Wang Liang was precisely because he wanted Wang Liang to be his backing.
It's just that what if Wang Liang loses?
