This is indeed not good news. No wonder the sergeant came in such a hurry.
"Come here, prepare your horses and hurry up to the city!"
Ma Jun didn't have time to listen to the sergeant's detailed explanation, so he quickly got dressed and prepared to go to the city.
"General, general, yes, it's the enemy in the rear!"
The sergeant was so anxious that he finally told the truth.
"Rear, where are the enemy troops in the rear?"
As soon as Ma Jun finished speaking, his face turned pale and he was so bad! Unfortunately, before Ninghou's reinforcements arrived, the enemy troops crossed over from the upper reaches and came to cut off his retreat.
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful about his carelessness. He had been marching for many years and boasted that he could plan and fight well, but this time he was restrained by his opponents in every aspect. Judging from this, most of Ninghou's reinforcements have not arrived yet, but the enemy troops have crossed the river first. But, where did this enemy army come from?
He thought of the movements in the enemy camp yesterday, which seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary. Where did this elusive enemy army come from?
For a moment, he really couldn't understand.
"How many enemy troops are there?"
After calming down, he asked in a deep voice.
"About tens of thousands."
The sergeant didn't know the exact number, so he had to bite the bullet and answer.
"What's tens of thousands?"
Ma Jun stared, wishing he could slap him.
However, the situation is obviously not good for me! If Lin Zhijing violently attacks the city in the front, and there are enemy troops who come from nowhere to set fire to the butt, it will be really difficult to deal with!
"Go to the east gate!"
At that moment, without saying any more, Ma Jun quickly strode out, got on his horse, and left with his gun in hand.
…
At the east gate, a horse like a leopard with a sword across its side was directing the sergeant to attack.
Siege warfare is not easy to fight. This time, he and Wang Liang were ordered to sneak up on Xinye, but they did not bring any large siege equipment. Therefore, we can only take advantage of the slight mist in the early morning to suddenly approach the city.
Boom!
The east city gate was struck by the temporarily found hammer.
At the city wall, on dozens of ladders, sergeants were risking their lives to climb up.
ah--
As the screams rang out, people continued to fall from the ladder.
After experiencing the initial panic, the enemy troops slowly stabilized their position. Arrows, stones, spears, and boiling water were thrown at the sergeants. When Ma Jun arrived, morale was even more boosted. One after another, the ladders were pulled down.
"General, stand down!"
After several rounds of attacks, the guards beside him reminded Ma Rubao. He, who had always been good at field battles, was indeed dumbfounded.
"Back off, back off!"
Helpless, he had no choice but to give the order and sound the gong to withdraw his troops.
Soon, the siege sergeants returned to their formation in an orderly manner, and faced off with the enemy at the top of the city a hundred steps away.
"Hey, that thief general, go back!"
Ma Jun has regained his composure. After all, he did not let the enemy succeed in the battle just now. This fully shows that his subordinates are still reliable.
"Bah! If you have the guts, do you dare to go down to the city and fight!?"
How can a horse like a leopard be convinced? Pointing his sword at him, he showed his domineering side.
Of course, he didn't know that it was Ma Jun standing on the top of the city, and they didn't recognize him at first.
"snort!"
Ma Jun snorted coldly, but ignored him and turned around and left the city.
For him, Lin Zhijing in the front was even more difficult to deal with. Although the enemy troops here were over ten thousand, they had no siege equipment, so there was really no need to worry too much.
"Grandma's!"
Ma Rubao could only curse angrily.
"General, if the enemy can't hold on, it will be difficult to defeat them for a while."
The guard reminded again.
"Don't be afraid of him. When General Lin launches an attack, we will respond accordingly. This Xinye City cannot be more secure than Xiangyang City!"
Ma Rubao held his knife and said calmly.
After he and Wang Liang crossed the Baihe River, a scout came to report that a large army was coming from the direction of Nanyang. The two men immediately concluded that they were mostly enemy troops coming to aid Xinye. Therefore, Wang Liang led 30,000 troops to block the reinforcements from Nanyang, while Ma Rubao led 10,000 troops to attack Xinye.
