Three Kingdoms Eschatology

The situation on the rest of the ladders was roughly the same. After the straw bundles fell to the bottom of the ladders, they continued to burn. The flames prevented the surrounding Ma and Han soldiers from approaching, and the bamboo ladders were burned and crackled.Seeing this, Wu Xiexing, who was in the rear, shouted loudly: "Quickly put out the fire! The attacking soldiers put on the water coir raincoats."

Ma Hanjun had already experienced the power of Liang Jun's fire attack weapons, so he was also prepared.Immediately, a large number of Ma and Han soldiers poured water from all kinds of weird containers towards the flames.Another large number of soldiers rushed forward carrying new ladders. The difference was that this time they were wearing thick coir raincoats that had been soaked in water.When Liang Jun's big fireball of straw bales rolled down again, some flames were only on their bodies because they were contaminated with some naphtha.But the fire couldn't penetrate the coir raincoat on Bingzhu's body at all, and burned the clothes inside the coir raincoat.

When a Ma Han leader in a coir raincoat was still a battle away from the city, a stone weighing tens of catties was thrown out and hit his helmet. His skull was crushed and he fell to the ladder without making a sound. Down.At the same time, Liang Jun, who was throwing stones, was also hit by an arrow raining like locusts.Suo Xin's arrow just hit the hardest part of his ring armor, and failed to penetrate the armor and cause him damage.

The horse and Han soldiers on the ladder struggled to climb up regardless of the corpses that kept falling from above the ladder.They erected as many as [-] ladders around Doro City successively, so although the [-] Liang troops tried their best to maneuver behind the walls to intercept them, they were ultimately unable to catch them.Still let some horse and Han soldiers take advantage of the loopholes and rush to the top of the city.

A Ma Han soldier jumped behind the pile of walls, just shook off his heavy coir raincoat, and before he had time to raise his weapon, he was killed by a Liang army soldier with three spears on his back and a two-foot sharp blade in his hand. He cut his throat and fell on top of the city wall, clutching his bleeding neck.At this time, at the same time, three horse and Han soldiers climbed up to the top of the city wall near the Liang army soldiers.This soldier of the Liang Army wanted to fight three enemy soldiers with one enemy, and his expression suddenly became tense. He stood up with his shield and held his knife, and was ready to fight the three enemy soldiers at close range.

This Liang Bing did not realize that there was No. 4 enemy soldiers climbing up to the top of the wall behind him.Because Pao Ze behind him was fighting with two other horse and Han soldiers, this enemy soldier could sneak up behind him without any hindrance.

Seeing that Liang Bing was attacked by the enemy, and was about to die on the spot, he heard the sound of gongs from the city, which was the signal for the withdrawal of troops from the battalion captain.Hearing the sound of the gong, the Liang soldiers at the top of the city should have shrunk to defend against the enemy soldiers near the stairway of the city wall, instead of fighting individually at the top of the city in the form of scattered soldiers.The latter made it easy for Ma Hanbing to take advantage of the large number of troops, but it fully exposed the disadvantage of Liang Jun's small number of troops.

Liang Bing immediately turned around and raised his legs to run towards the stairway.Unexpectedly, they collided with Ma Hanbing who was about to attack him from behind, and both of them jumped.Ma Hanbing's reaction was still a step slow. The iron knife in his hand was about to swing away, but was stabbed into the chest by the opponent.Liang Bing didn't even have time to pull out his knife, so he hurried to the entrance of the stairs.

After a while, the exit of the stairway connecting the top of the city and the lower part of the city was full of soldiers from the retreating Liang army.They had scabbard their knives and removed their spears from their backs.At the same time, more and more horse and Han soldiers gathered at the top of the city. After accumulating a certain number, they shouted in unison, and rushed towards the entrance of the stairway in a dark mass.

When they were more than a hundred meters away from Liang Jun, the latter all threw their spears.Hundreds of four-foot short spears hurled at the swarming horse and Han soldiers like a dome curtain.Ma Hanbing at the front immediately lay down amidst howling and wailing, each with varying numbers of spears stuck in their bodies.

When Ma Hanbing in the rear saw this, his feet softened and his speed slowed down a lot.The few surviving horse and Han soldiers at the front turned around and ran away in a hurry, but were shot down by several bows and arrows.This is what the few Liang Jun scouts in Doro City did.When the Ma Han soldiers in the rear rushed towards Liang Jun again under the urging of the general, they encountered another round of gunfire without exception, leaving corpses all over the ground and retreating a distance of more than ten battles.

At this time, Wu Xiexing also boarded the top of the city, and shouted after seeing this scene: "Hang the scull shields to the top of the city!" After a while, more than a dozen scull shields with a height of six or seven feet were finally transported directly to the top of the city. city ​​head.Ma Hanbing used this to form a shield wall and attacked the stairway again.

This scull shield shield wall completely restrained Liang Jun's javelin projection.This is not because they can completely block the javelin, after all, the javelin can also pass over the shield wall for parabolic projection.It was because the tall scull shield blocked Liang Jun's line of sight, making it impossible for them to estimate the distance and position of the horse and Han soldiers, which greatly reduced the lethality of the javelin projection.

Ma Hanbing finally rushed to the place not far from Liang Jun's shield wall at the entrance of the ladder, and the "wooden wall" composed of oar shields crashed down, and swords, guns, swords and halberds stabbed and hacked at Liang Jun randomly.Hearing a few loud roars from the crowd of Liang Jun, the three giant ape warriors stabbed out with long knives in their hands, and in the blink of an eye, three or four horse Han soldiers were pierced on the blades. And the blade swung the long knife with the corpse.After the body was thrown out, a ball of knives flashed out.In this flood of knife light and blood rain, countless limbs and heads flew up.

A horse Han soldier screamed wildly, rushed in front of a giant ape soldier, and stabbed the steel knife in his hand fiercely towards the opponent's abdomen, but it was as if it was stuck on a stone.There was only a sound of clang, and the tip of the knife was rolled up.The giant ape soldier didn't seem to care about the threat of the horse and Han soldiers who were close to him, and continued to slash and stab the long knife in his hand.But the soldiers of the Liang army beside it stabbed out their own spears, piercing several holes in the horse Hanbing's body in an instant.

The massacre caused by the wild dancing of the giant ape warriors pushed the horse and Han soldiers back a few feet away, and the soldiers of the Liang army took the opportunity to throw another round of spears. This round was a short-range projection, causing even greater damage Effect.Amidst the screams of pain, Ma Hanbing fell down again with nearly a hundred people.Ma Hanbing, who suffered a large number of casualties, finally couldn't hold on, and retreated to break away from Liang Jun.

Wu Xie, who had already climbed to the top of Duoluo City, screamed in anger when he saw this, and he came up with a plan out of desperation.

Chapter 742 tasteless

After a while, more horse and Han soldiers who climbed up gathered at the top of Doro City.They held out their scull shields and rushed up to Liang Jun on the stairway.But this time they made a false attack. Wu Xiexing had ordered some Mahan soldiers to drop ropes from the inner wall of the city wall and lower them into the city to open the city gate.

Except for the more than [-] reserve troops stationed at Wanggongwubao, the Liang army basically carried out defensive operations on the stairs at the top of the city. Naturally, it was impossible to respond to the Ma Han army's cable drop.After a while, tens of hundreds of Ma Han soldiers descended into the city of Doro through ropes.They immediately rushed to the nearest city gate.

The Lieutenant of the Liang Army Camp who was watching the battle on the high platform of Wubao in the palace saw it clearly, and immediately ordered: "Ring the gong again! Let the sons retreat into Wubao!" Immediately, there was another sound in Wubao that was different from before Rhythmic gongs.

Liang Jun on the stairway heard the sound of the gong and quickly retreated down the city.This retreat happened to collide with some of the Ma and Han soldiers who were lowered into the city.However, both sides had their own goals and missions, and they didn't love to fight. They fought and killed more than a dozen corpses of Ma and Han soldiers, and then they went away separately.Liang Jun rushed to Wubao, while those Ma Han soldiers rushed to the city gate.

Wu Xiexing saw that the gate of Doro City was opened, he was overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "Duoluo City is broken, follow me!" Doro City.It was only when he entered the city that he realized that the city was empty, so he gathered his troops to attack the Wubao in the center of the city.When we got to the bottom of Wubao, we found that the four doors of Wubao were closed.The head of the city is full of Liang Jun's banners.

Under the urging of Wu Xiexing, the horse and Han soldiers quickly moved in the ladder outside the city, and launched a fierce attack on the palace Wubao of Doro City amidst the sound of horns.

The walls of Wanggongwubao are thicker and taller than those of Doro.Moreover, the perimeter of Wubao is much smaller than that of the outer city, so the soldiers of the five hundred Liang army are more concentrated and their defense is stronger.On the contrary, only a hundred ladders can be erected around Zhaiwu Fort of Ma Hanjun.Although the troops still have an advantage over Liang Jun, they can't exert their strength.Ma Hanjun, who climbed up the city along the ladder, was either thrown off the ladder by rolling wood and stones, or was stabbed in the head by a knife and gun as soon as he emerged from the wall, pierced his neck, and cut his throat.Not even one person could successfully ascend to the top of Wubao Castle.

Seeing more and more casualties, Wu Xiexing felt bitter in his mouth.The current battle situation is like a chicken rib to him. If he wants to completely eat Doro City, he doesn't know how much he has to pay.Give up, so many people have died, wouldn't it be a big loss.

When Wu Xiexing was in a dilemma, a soldier came to report in a panic: "Report! There are cavalry from the Liang Army appearing in the northwest of the city!"

Wu Xie asked in surprise, "How many people are here?"

"Going back to the king, the scout who brought back the message died before saying a few words. He had a few feathered arrows on his body. But even if he was alive, he probably didn't know how many people came from the other side. Because the other party spotted it from a distance. He, he fled all the way back from the small road."

Wu Xiexing didn't hesitate at all, and said loudly: "Pass on the king's military order, and the whole army retreats!" Immediately, the horns of the Ma Han army's retreat began to blare.

In fact, the Liang army who came only had fifty light cavalry and fifty heavy cavalry. They were one of three patrol cavalry teams occupying the city along a series of Liang troops.Although they were cavalry, with Wu Xiexing already occupying the city of Duoluo, such a small number of soldiers and horses could not pose any threat to Wu Xiexing's thousands of horses and Korean troops.Because of this, Wu Xiexing simply decided to withdraw his troops to find a reason for himself.

……

The news of the attack on Duoluo City reached Bumi City occupied by Zhang Liao a day later.This made Zhang Liao faintly worried about the supply of traffic lines in the rear.Zhang Liao's Liang army, which was advancing all the way on land, rushed all the way, and could only conquer Mahan City, which was located in an important place or on the path of the advance.Mahan city-states like Gou Xieguo can only be let go.

The strategy discussed by the generals of the Liang army was to make a lightning strike to the Bumi country, occupy the city of Bumi, and then use the harbor of the Bumi king to welcome the Weiwen fleet and Cao Chong's troops carried by it, and then cooperate with the Weiwen navy. After going down to Bumi City and annihilating the main force of Ma and Han, Zhang Liao was able to return to his army and sweep up the remaining Ma and Han states in the rear.This was also done to save time for Wei Wenwen and Cao Chong, otherwise Cao Chong's army would not arrive in Dongpu until Ma Han was completely pacified.

But no one expected beforehand that in addition to gathering a large group of troops in Bumi to fight against the Liang army, Ma Han also gathered a group of troops in Gouxie to continuously harass the Liang army's city strongholds along the way.Although Wei Wen's fleet can take the sea route to and from Nanxin City to transport food and grass, most of the supplies are to be provided to Cao Chong, a large army of more than 5000 people.Part of the supply of Zhang Liao's [-] men still had to come by land.Moreover, Zhang Liao didn't want these occupied Mahan cities to be lost and recovered, because they would still play an important role in the future battles of encirclement and suppression.

Zhang Liao originally wanted to take some of his soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense of the city on the supply line.But thinking about it again, my five thousand soldiers and horses also lost nearly a thousand people, and there were actually only four thousand left.Many battalions and teams only have a number and dozens of hundreds of people left, and then deploy troops, the remaining troops are not enough to protect the city and the port.

When Zhang Liao was in trouble, his soldiers had reported that Wei Wen's fleet had arrived.Zhang Liao was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly got up and rushed to the harbor of Bumi City to meet Wei Wen's fleet.

Zhang Liao raised his eyes from the pier and saw that the entrance of the bay was like a forest with masts and sails like clouds, and a dense mass of ships of all sizes sailed into Bumi City, a natural harbor.The cavalry of Zhang Liao's army patrolled the shore non-stop, and the Ma Han army commanded by the vigilante Su Clan Duli attacked and harassed them.

Half an hour later, Zhang Liao met with Wei Wen, Cao Chong, Guo Jia, Zhang He and Xu Huang and other Wei generals.The two sides exchanged pleasantries, but Guo Jia suddenly changed the subject and reminded: "General Zhang Liao, when our fleet entered the port just now, my subordinates found that there are many branches around the port, and there are some places on the waterway. It is very narrow. Such a terrain is very convenient for the enemy to attack by land and water. The navy fleet of General Wei Wen is our lifeblood. If the enemy succeeds in a surprise attack. Whether it is the goal of pacifying Sanhan or going south to Yingzhou It might be done."

Zhang Liao laughed and said, "Don't worry Guo Guoxiang, this Zhang is clear in his heart. He has ordered his soldiers to set up iron chains and strongholds to block the river at every branch, and arranged for cavalry to patrol the coast at key locations day and night. Guarantee guards The Admiral's fleet is in the harbour!"

Chapter 743

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he asked Guo Jia and the others: "Guo Guoxiang, there is something unknown. Your fleet should be much faster than mine on land. Why did you just arrive at Bumi City today?"

Guo Jia didn't answer, but Wei Wen replied with a smile: "To tell you the truth, we did arrive in the nearby waters a few days ago. Originally, someone was trying to land directly to fight and take Bumi City. But Guo Guoxiang persuaded him A certain person said that within a hundred miles of fjords, rivers, lakes, and waterways are criss-crossed, and islands are scattered all over the place. We are not familiar with the terrain, and the fleet will be ambushed by the enemy if we rush into the narrow waterways. So we first found the most edge position, There are sufficient water sources and ports, and the wide and easy-to-defend islands were stationed. Then, scout boats were sent day and night near Bumi to scout out the enemy's situation and survey the terrain and water conditions to prepare for the next battle."

Only then did Zhang Liao suddenly realize: "So that's how it is."

At this time, the group of them had already walked near the south gate of Bumi City, Guo Jia glanced at the city walls and gates of Bumi City, and suddenly asked as if thinking of something: "Why does this city look like it hasn't been battled yet? "

Zhang Liao laughed and said: "When a certain army arrives, it must be because those Mahan people and Bumi's lord were afraid of the power of my army and did not dare to defend the isolated city, so they fled early."

Guo Jia snorted, and frowned...

……

Fifty miles southeast of Bumi Bay is a lush mountain range on the seashore.There is a dock hidden in the forest covered by lush trees and grass.

At this time, several leaders of the Mahan city-state Fangguo gathered in a spacious and heavily guarded room in Wubao.One of the young Korean leaders with a square face in animal skins was none other than Su Clan Duli.

These people are planning a new offensive against Liang Jun.In fact, a few days ago, these Ma Han leaders formulated a strategy for Liang Jun.They thought that after Zhang Liao occupied Bumi, they would use Bumi as the center to clean up the Mahan city-state in the south and track down the main force of the Mahan army.During this period, the Ma Han army can take advantage of the terrain to continuously harass the Liang army, accumulate a small victory into a big victory, and finally carry out a decisive battle to recover the city, and annihilate the Liang army whose morale is almost exhausted.

However, after Zhang Liao entered Bumi City, he unexpectedly stayed behind closed doors. He only deployed patrols near the harbor, set up checkpoints at the entrances of the bays connecting the harbor, and installed chains to block the river.This left Ma Hanjun with no grasp to use his strength to launch a sneak attack and ambush against Liang Jun.

Seeing that Liang Jun has not moved for a long time, Su Clan Duli had no choice but to take the risk of attacking Liang Jun's checkpoint at night, intending to knock down one by one.In the end, they were hit head-on by Zhang Liao's night patrol heavy cavalry, which made the Su faction stop.

At this point, the Soviet Faction Dulifang felt in a dilemma, and Fang asked these horse and Korean owners to discuss new countermeasures.

One of them said: "Everyone, this Liang army can't get out of the city, and the number of routes we discussed before can't be used. What should we do?"

Someone else said: "I'm so afraid. There is no rice, no firewood, no arrow left for them in Bumi City. Are they still huddled there for a lifetime and can't come out? As long as they come out, we can continue to eat every bite." drop them."

Another Ma Hanzhu joined in and said: "But the scouts in front of our army inquired, it seems that a large fleet came from the sea a few days ago, it may be Liang Jun. But they disappeared suddenly again. Presumably they They are hiding on a nearby island. It is a pity that we have given up Bumi now, otherwise we should be able to find them if we search carefully. If Liang Jun uses this sea fleet to transport supplies, why does he need to come out of Bumi City?"

"Then let's attack Bumi at night. This Liang Jun would never have dreamed that we would abandon Bumi City, but would dare to surprise them when they were stationed in Bumi."

A Mahan city lord next to him sneered after hearing this: "This is a bit out of the blue. Liang Jun couldn't think of it, but how can we attack that fortified city of Bumi City? This city belongs to Brother Duli from the Su clan The family spent several generations to build it. Now there is Liang Jun, a wolf-like brigade guarding it. If others are unprepared, we will not be able to break in!"

A certain Ma Hanzhu suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Hey! Why didn't we expect that when we withdrew from Bumi City, we should destroy a part of the city wall of Bumi City. It will also be convenient for us to counterattack in the future!"

At this time, after a long time of silence, the Su Clan Duli said: "Actually, this king has thought of this a long time ago, and indeed has a secret passage to enter Bumi City. It's just that this king originally planned to break into it when he finally fought the Liang army." It is used in the city. Now the Liang army is still powerful. We used this secret passage to drive them out of Bumi City at best, but we couldn't wipe them out. When they get reinforcements, rely on their equipment and combat power, We still can't hold Bumi City. In this way, we have wasted the real value of this secret passage."

Su Clan Duli kept this secret secret to the leaders of Ma Hanzhong.After saying it now, everyone suddenly realized.No wonder when they withdrew from Bumi City, many people suggested that Bumi City be completely destroyed, but Su Clan Duli just refused.

A grumpy Mahan leader jumped up and said: "King Su Clan Duli, this is your fault. I will gather the soldiers and horses and give them to you to command. Don't you trust us?"

Another elder immediately persuaded: "This is a top-secret matter of the military. Naturally, the fewer people who know about it, the better. It has nothing to do with trust or distrust. After all, we have more than [-] people here. Who among the [-] people can Stand up and pat your chest and promise that none of the other thirty or so people will leak the news?"

Seeing that no one refuted these words, he went on to say: "But, Su Clan King Duli, do we have to wait like this? If the Liang army really only relies on sea transportation for supplies, what should we do if the city shrinks for a long time? ?”

King Duli of the Su faction replied slowly: "If that's the case, then we should go and talk to Wu Xie..." He was interrupted by the soldiers rushing in as he spoke.

The soldier said: "Report! Report to King Duli of the Su Clan that a large number of Liang Jun ships have entered Bumi Port."

Su Clan Duli was shocked and said, "How many ships are you talking about? Are there any soldiers and horses unloaded from the ships? If so, how many soldiers and horses have entered Bumi City. You will quickly find out what the scouts have found. ...No, you quickly summon the scout, and this king will personally interrogate him!"

Soon, the Ma Han scout who came to report the information was called into the room.He told Su Fu Duli everything he saw and heard about the situation he had investigated.

Only then did the latter know that thousands of ships had entered the harbor of Bumi City and unloaded a mountain of supplies, but not many new troops entered Bumi City.Su Clan Duli suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Chapter 744

The night is dark and the moon is in the sky.In a river not far from Bumi City, black shadows suddenly appeared.It turned out that more than ten bamboo rafts were floating down the water, and Mahan soldiers were squatting or sitting on the bamboo rafts.

At the same time, a large number of rustling figures appeared outside the battle on the shore.That was the main force of Ma Han led by Su Clan Duli.It's just that the thousands of men and horses crouched motionless in the grass.They waited for the team of soldiers and horses in the river to enter Bumi City and open the city gate before rushing in.

Bumi City is surrounded by water on three sides, with Bumi Bay with a port in the south, and a narrow fjord connected to the Danshui River in the north and west.These bamboo rafts quickly entered the fjord and drove to the coast, which is near the north wall of Bumi City.The horse and Han soldiers above slipped from the bamboo raft into the sea without any breath.

These Mahan soldiers are the water ghost soldiers with the best water quality among the soldiers of the Su clan.They can dive into the water for as long as half a quarter of an hour without taking a breath, and if they are equipped with auxiliary equipment such as bamboo tubes, they can even hide underwater for as long as a quarter of an hour.

I saw these more than a hundred Ma Hanshui ghost soldiers swimming silently towards the coast under the moonlight, and soon came to the mouth of a ditch.This ditch is not natural, but a man-made drainage channel, which is specially used to discharge rainwater and sewage from Bumi City.Although it was a sewage drain, there was a heavy rain during the day.At this time, the water in the canal under the moonlight was crystal clear.Just looking from a high place, because of the reflection of the water surface, only the moonlight reflected by the white flowers can be seen.

After the water ghost soldiers dived into the drainage ditch, they could vaguely see the figures of the Liang Army soldiers on duty behind the iron fence at the end of the ditch. There was still a raging bonfire burning beside these Liang Army soldiers. It is very unlikely to sneak into Bumi City without anyone noticing.Because once the water ghost soldiers destroyed the iron fence that was as thick as a baby's arm, Liang Jun who was on guard would immediately notice and sound the alarm.

All these Ma Hanshui ghost soldiers floating on the water took a deep breath together, then submerged into the water and disappeared.Underwater, they paddled their feet and dived to the bottom of the ditch.The leader touched the mud with his hands, and found an iron ring, and quickly waved to the others.The rest of the people hurriedly followed, and each of them found an iron ring.Several people pulled upwards with all their strength, and a cover made of unknown metal was suddenly opened.A large black hole at the bottom was exposed.

The water ghost soldiers rushed in one file and dived into the cave. After swimming for dozens of steps, they finally floated up, with their heads protruding from the water panting heavily.The place where they emerge is not an exit, it is just an empty room for them to take a breath.After they had a good breath, Qiqi took a deep breath and dived into the water again...

In the city of Bumi, there is a temple of Mahan on the street a hundred battles away from the east gate.In the Liang army stationed in Bumi City, the number of people who believed in the gods of Mahan could be counted with a slap, so no one has been to this temple for a long time.In the courtyard of the temple is a well that is common in Mahanok.

Under the moonlight, a human head suddenly appeared from the well, and a figure jumped out of the well swiftly, and then bent down to help the people behind get out of the well.More and more people came out of the well, and soon the yard was filled.These people are naturally the Ma Hanshui ghost soldiers who sneaked into the city from the secret road.

When no one came out of the well, the chief leader swept his eyes away from these soldiers one by one, silently counted the number of people, and after finding that there was no entry or exit, he made a gesture.All the water ghost soldiers drew their weapons together.The gate of the temple was suddenly opened, and all the water ghost soldiers jumped out.However, the streets and alleys outside the temple were empty, and there were no Liang troops patrolling.

More than a hundred people were walking quickly and quietly on the gravel road in the city, only hearing the rustling sound like wind sweeping fallen leaves.They were getting closer and closer to the east gate, and finally a group of Liang Jun soldiers who were patrolling at night appeared in front of them.

"Who!? Password!" The other party obviously sensed the abnormality, and asked loudly while shining the torch in his hand.Without saying a word, the water ghost soldiers raised their crossbows one after another and shot towards them.After the howling sound of arrows piercing through the air and the sound of puffing arrows piercing through the metal plate, there were the screams and shouts of Liang Jun soldiers.Most of them were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but the other two turned around and fled away, screaming loudly: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking! The city has infiltrated the enemy!"

The Ma Hanshui ghost soldiers no longer kept silent, they shouted in unison and rushed towards the east gate which was close at hand.There are only ten guards at the east gate, plus the soldiers who rushed down from the city after hearing the sound, there are less than forty.They nervously raised their shields and raised their guns to meet the water ghost soldiers swarming in.

Among these horse and Han soldiers, the water ghost soldiers, one in a hundred, are not only good at swimming, but also have amazing individual combat power.Facing the spears thrown by the soldiers of the Liang Army, they dispersed in unison, so that none of the nearly forty spears hit the target.Then, the water ghost soldiers rushing to the front jumped up before Liang Bing's spears stabbed, and crossed the shield wall with amazing jumping power.Five or six of them were stabbed to the ground by the spears from mid-air, but three or four jumped over the shield wall and sent the sharp blades in their palms into the chests of Liang soldiers.

Liang Jun was forced to disperse his formation, throw away his spears and guns, and drew out his first knife to fight these water ghost soldiers at close range.After such a delay, four or five Liang Army soldiers were knocked to the ground. The remaining Liang Army soldiers were few in number and had too many opponents, and their individual fighting skills were not small.However, a large number of Liang Jun holding torches in the streets and alleys in the distance and on the corridor at the top of the city rushed towards the east gate upon hearing the sound.

Those Ma Hanshui ghost soldiers also didn't care about chasing and killing the fleeing Liang soldiers, they swarmed into the city gate hole, took off the heavy gate bolts with all their strength, pushed open the heavy city gate, and confronted them with torches. A circle was drawn outside the city and a signal was issued.

Seeing their success, the Su faction was overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "The whole army charged, entered Bumi City, defeated the Liang army, and burned all the ships in the harbor!"

His wishful thinking was to capture Bumi City. Although he could not completely wipe out the land troops of the Liang Army, he could strangle the waterway throat of Bumi Harbor and destroy or even capture thousands of Liang Army ships.This result is far greater than the thousands of soldiers who wiped out Zhang Liao.

The horse and Han soldiers behind Su Faction Duli shouted in unison, they all stood up from the grass, held up their swords, guns, swords and halberds, and followed Su Faction Duli towards Bumi City like a tsunami.

When he rushed to the east gate, Su Duli saw his water ghost soldiers standing in a black line at the gate to greet him, and he couldn't help being moved.He asked the leader of the water ghost soldiers: "Aren't there any casualties among you?"

Chapter 745

Facing Duli's question from the Su faction, the leader of the water ghost soldier said with a little complacency: "If you go back to the king, the little one led the brothers carefully and sneaked into the city without being discovered by Liang Jun the whole time. When fighting towards the east gate of the city, Fang and the patrolling soldiers of the Liang Army encountered each other. We fought together with the opponent, and defeated the opponent in just half a quarter of an hour. Before the opponent's reinforcements arrived here, we defeated the enemy at the fastest speed. The door opened. Before and after, we lost seven or eight brothers."

The Su faction originally expected that at least half of the water ghost soldiers would be lost in this operation, but now the leader of the water ghost soldier told him that only seven or eight people had been lost, and that it went surprisingly smoothly from beginning to end, which made him excited. Suspicious, but he himself did not say where he was uneasy.

Su Clan Duli thought for a while, and heard the sound of fighting in the city.There was too little time for him to hesitate, if he didn't enter the city, the Liang army would soon take back the city gate.But he was more thoughtful, shouted orders, stopped the brigade that had not yet entered the city, which accounted for half of the total, and appointed another Ma Hanzhu as the commander of the troops that entered Bumi City, but he stayed behind. The other half of the army was commanded outside the city to go directly to the coast of Bumi Bay in the south.As long as the Ma Han army defeated the Liang army in the city and took control of Bumi City, he could also attack from the coast to the harbor where thousands of Liang army ships were moored.If anything happens, he can retreat calmly.

Nearly [-] Mahan soldiers held weapons and held torches high, rushing like a fire dragon along the main street of Bumi City, and spreading to the surrounding small streets and alleys.It's just that the streets and alleys of Bumi City are quite empty, and they ran for a long time without encountering a group of Liang soldiers.The leader of the Mahan leader became suspicious.When they reached the Liang Army camp in the city, they found that although the camp was brightly lit, there was still no one in the camp.

At this time, it was the sound of fierce fighting coming from the east wall.It turned out that Ma Hanbing, who rushed to the top of the city, met the sudden Liang Jun.The leader of the army, Ma Han, had just come to his senses. It must have been a mistake, and he was about to order the soldiers to withdraw.The other three sides of the city were also fighting loudly, and a large number of bright torches were lit up. The city under the light of the fire was full of Liang Jun's figures in motion.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!" the leader of Ma Han exclaimed.But it was too late, the sound of galloping horses came from the main street, which made his heart palpitate.More than fifty Liang Jun heavy armored cavalry came galloping along the main street. Since they didn't use lighting, it was like a giant monster suddenly appearing from the darkness, which shocked all the Ma Han soldiers.

Since they were dealing with cavalry, the Liang Jun knights on the horses did not use lances, but waved their maces in their hands.With several bangs and bangs, several Ma Han soldiers who were caught off guard were knocked into the air by the huge Shire war horse, and they had already turned into dead bodies when they landed.The Mahan soldiers in the rear reacted and hurriedly dodged to both sides, but the mace waving in the air either crushed their heads, or dislocated their bombarded internal organs and vomited blood to death.

These fifty heavy cavalry swept across the main street of Bumi City like a comb.Wherever he passed, there were all the corpses of Ma Han soldiers in disorder.At this time, Ma Han's soldiers had swarmed and scattered in all directions.

Some Ma Hanbing rushed to the streets and alleys on both sides of the main street, but they soon discovered that there were also heavy armored cavalry ranging from a few to dozens of cavalry rushing towards them in these alleys.Different from Liang Jun's heavy cavalry on the main street, these heavy cavalry generally use lances because they fight in narrow streets and alleys.

Among them, a group of nearly a hundred Ma Han soldiers fled into an alley less than two battles wide, and they immediately discovered that there were six or seven heavy cavalry from the Liang army hiding in the alley, rushing towards them.At this time, when they retreated to the main street, they would definitely encounter Liang Jun's heavy cavalry who were sweeping across the main street, and they would be beheaded to death.

Therefore, they can only bite the bullet and face the heavy cavalry of the six or seven cavalry.With the momentum of the horse, six or seven lances pierced through the bodies of more than ten people at once, and some of them pierced two or three people with one lance.The knights had to abandon their lances, and the horses were still galloping forward, but the crowd of Ma Hanbing had some retreating and some rushing forward, and they immediately huddled together.Liang Jun's iron cavalry squeezed "to" a row of people, but these people did not fall to the ground.After being crushed by the horses at high speed, they had already died of their internal organs being damaged and vomiting blood, but their bodies were pushed and shoved by layers of Ma and Han soldiers behind them.The speed of Liang Jun's war horse also slowed down suddenly, slowly pushing the crowd of Ma Han soldiers forward.

A Mahan leader in the rear shouted wildly: "Stand up your spears and point them forward! Stab and kill these bastards." Some Mahan soldiers immediately raised their spears and halberds and pointed at Liang, whose speed had slowed down. The army stabbed wildly and went away.Unexpectedly, except for one strong soldier, none of the others could penetrate the armor of Liang Junzhan's cavalry with their spears.

As the horse roared and neighed, a Liang Jun knight fell off the horse, and the maces of the others waved away, swinging away many spears, and smashed on the heads of the Ma Han soldiers.At this time, many Ma Han soldiers saw that Liang Jun's war cavalry had stopped completely, and the war horse could only push forward, so they became more courageous and rushed towards Liang Jun with their weapons straightened out. A long knife several feet long to chop off the horse's feet without armor protection.

At this time, seven or eight fireballs suddenly appeared above the streets and alleys, which were particularly bright and eye-catching under the night.After they fell into the crowd of Ma Hanjun, they immediately burst into flames.They were accompanied by a large number of arrows.More than a dozen of Ma Hanbing's soldiers immediately became burning men, and many more fell under the arrows.It turned out that Liang Jun's archers and infantry manipulating portable ballistas appeared on the roof.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the horses and Han soldiers were in a mess, the six or seven cavalry soldiers turned their horses' heads and ran back.Under the rush of the iron cavalry, a large number of horse and Han soldiers were thrown to the ground and trampled to pieces by iron hooves.The surviving Ma and Han soldiers had lost their souls under the heavy casualties, and fled away in panic.

In the city of Bumi, the blazing streets were full of rampant cavalry of the Liang army, like headless flies ramming Ma Han's defeated soldiers, arrows flying all over the sky, and burning explosive bombs flying in the sky.Horses neighed and people shouted, and the sound of weapons resounded throughout the area.

At the top of the city, under round after round of javelin shots, Ma Han soldiers were quickly driven off the east city tower, and then a large number of Liang army gun shield soldiers rushed down from the stairs, recaptured the east gate, and sealed it up .The Ma and Han soldiers in the city seem to have become turtles in an urn.

Chapter 746 The Tough Rival

Su Clan Duli who was stationed at the seaside of Ma could vaguely hear the sound of killing in Bumi City, and then saw the flames rising in the city, he couldn't help but feel happy.He thought that his soldiers and horses had already succeeded as planned.But then he found that there were figures on the top of the east city illuminated by the flames, who seemed to be fighting, and then he saw that the entire circle of the city wall was suddenly brightly lit, and there were bursts of shouts.At this time, he knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly sent his own soldiers to investigate the situation.

But the soldier waited and waited but didn't come back, fine beads of sweat oozed from Su Duli's forehead.Then he heard the sound of a horse's hooves like summer thunder.Borrowing the moonlight, he discovered that in the distant night, a black shadow was rapidly pressing towards him.As the distance approached, the black shadow became taller and taller.

A cloud of cold air emerged from Su Fu Duli's back.He cried out: "Not good! It must be Liang Jun's plan. Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

After finishing speaking, he whipped the horse and galloped to the west first.The rest of Ma Hanzhu and thousands of Ma Han soldiers also followed behind him, running away in a panic.At this time, the sound of arrows piercing through the air came from the air, and arrows rained like locusts and shot towards Ma Han's formation densely.The wails of the arrows were constantly heard from the crowd of Ma Han soldiers. On the way they fled, many corpses and wounded soldiers were left behind.Liang Jun's light cavalry and flying feather cavalry swept past these corpses and wounded soldiers.
