Ma Jun had no choice but to close the city gate tightly and defend to the death without taking advantage of him. He went down to the city and returned home, very angry.
In this way, most of the day passes and dusk gradually comes.
"Report——"
Unexpectedly, there were soldiers outside the house calling horses to report.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing the panic on the sergeant's face, Ma Jun, who had calmed down a little, asked in surprise.
"Reporting back to the general, outside the city, the enemy troops have reached tens of thousands again, and their momentum is even greater than before."
The sergeant lowered his head and briefly explained the situation outside the city.
"What?"
Ma Jun was shocked when he heard this and stood up from his seat.
"General, the King of England has probably crossed the river!"
On the side, a general said with emotion.
This is inevitable, and for Ma Jun, it is also expected. As soon as he withdrew, the King of England attacked from two sides. With tens of thousands of naval troops, how could he be his opponent?
"In this case, those who come, rush to Nanyang quickly, report to Ninghou, and ask him to send troops to help. If they don't arrive in two days, we will have to retreat to Nanyang Mansion."
Ma Jun wasn't in too much trouble yet. The enemy's troops increased suddenly. He couldn't help but ask for help from above. But if he evacuates again, there will be absolutely no explanation from Ninghou. So no matter what, he had to fight one or two battles and defend for a few days. He also wanted to use this to see Ninghou's determination. If we can send troops to rescue him, we will fight the King of England for a while. If we still don't send troops, we will have no choice but to retreat to Nanyang Mansion.
"As you command!"
A sergeant immediately took the order and left.
"Come on, come with me to the city and have a look!"
Ma Jun couldn't stay any longer. He picked up the knife and walked out.
…
The dusk was dim, and in the surrounding fields, there were tents one after another. When I looked up, I couldn't see the end.
Ma Jun felt a little worried.
It seems that my reputation as a pony super player will probably end here.
"Everyone obeys the order and guards all doors day and night. No one is allowed in or out without the general's order!"
During the day, Ma Song fought hard and was captured, which made Ma Jun see the fighting power of the British king's soldiers. He somewhat regretted his rashness. If he had been more careful and humble, Ma Song would not have suffered this disaster. As soon as Ma Song left, Ma Jun thought to himself that he had very few men who could fight. The current plan depends on how much support Ninghou can provide.
But is there really any support?
Ma Jun was not sure.
There are only a handful of Ninghou's men who are experienced in fighting. Even the commander-in-chief Gu Peng has surrendered to the enemy. Are the others still enough?
"Why should I be afraid of the day when a strong man dies?"
Ma Jun whispered to himself softly.
A kind of self-esteem and honor from the bottom of his heart made Ma Jun become determined and fearless in an instant.
To be honest, this is the first time in many years that he has been afraid of his opponent. It is also the first time in many years that he has been losing ground and has not dared to fight easily.
Therefore, if he wants to maintain his past glory, he must also maintain his past glory.
Even if it is a shooting star, it has always crossed the sky and left a short-term brilliance!
…
On the other side of Lin Zhijing, the newly arrived army was actually Ma Rubao and Wang Liang's 20,000 troops who had crossed the river from Gucheng.
"Two generals are here to help us. This small Xinye City is expected to be destroyed!"
Lin Zhijing was overjoyed and welcomed him out of the camp.
"Haha, General Lin, it's just that I arrived late and missed a few big battles!"
Ma Rubao laughed loudly, and there was indeed a bit of regret in his words.
"General Lin and General Ma have been chasing us all the way. All we have to do is fly here!"
Wang Liang also said with a smile.
As soon as they received Gui Yunzheng's order, they sent troops to Gucheng. When they arrived at Gucheng, they made some repairs and quickly crossed the river. Who knows, but they were still a step too late.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I'll let the two generals kill everyone in Xinye City!"
Lin Zhijing was worried that he had fewer generals to fight. With the king and horse, wouldn't it be even more powerful?
"Ha ha ha ha……"
For a moment, everyone burst into laughter.
