At sunset, dusk, the most beautiful time of the day, a more powerful attack began.
This time, there were more bed slaves and more catapults, hitting them so hard that the defenders of Xinye City didn't even raise their heads for a long time. Under such indiscriminate attacks, some unlucky people had no choice but to suffer injuries, broken bones, or even their lives.
Under the leadership of Xiao Zheng, thousands of fine cavalry lined up under the city and fired at the top of the city with their bows drawn. Countless infantrymen crossed the moat again and set up ladders.
"Just bear with it, damn it, you really don't want your life!"
Ma Jun cursed, his face was scratched by flying debris, and the blood was still wet, making him look even more ferocious.
Now, being attacked from both sides, Ma Jun's life is really difficult. Therefore, the guard at the main gate did not dare to relax at all, and the deployment of troops accounted for the majority of the total military strength. However, at the other end of the east gate, he saw that Ma Rubao had limited troops and no siege equipment, so he felt somewhat at ease.
But this wave of attacks at sunset was obviously more violent than the previous waves.
"Don't show off, just be patient for now, they're just so stubborn!"
While he was cursing and cursing, he still had to comfort the soldiers' hearts. It is estimated that reinforcements from Nanyang will not come. He, Xiao Ma Chao, Cheng Ren or Cheng Shen, is probably here in Xinye City.
ah!
A sergeant screamed miserably, but it turned out that he was hit in the calf by a big stone. After all, the city wall is very narrow. With so many soldiers crowded together, it is difficult to disperse at once, and naturally it is difficult to avoid being hit.
Several battlements had been smashed and collapsed due to continuous attacks. Although it was condescending, it was really not a problem to be suppressed by firepower like this.
Of course, everything will come to an end.
If you want to break through Xinye City, you will eventually have to fight with real swords and guns.
The sky became darker, and the setting sun truly became the setting sun, never to be seen again.
Under the moat, the King's troops were standing in formation, stepping on sandbags and corpses in an orderly manner, setting up ladders. Not far away, the elite cavalry led by Xiao Zheng also stood up with their swords drawn and were ready for battle.
"Enter Xinye City and capture Pony Chao alive!"
I don't know who shouted this sentence, and immediately, thousands of people shouted at the same time. This momentum is really scary.
"end!"
Not long after, these calls stopped again as the flag officer shouted loudly and waved the flag.
Xiao Zheng put away his bow, held his sword, and walked out of the queue leisurely. At this moment, just waiting for his order, another wave of attacks will begin.
"General Ma, the King of England is the benevolent Lord. I think you are a man, so I have specially ordered me to send you a message. If you open the city gate at this time, it will not only protect your life, but also protect many brothers from being killed. And, your brother Ma Pine can also be preserved.”
Xiao Zheng was full of energy, and his voice was loud and clear, word by word, reaching the top of the city. Ma Jun had already stood up and looked at them.
"Bah, you betrayer, how dare you speak against me!? My brother Ma Song is loyal to the court, benevolent and righteous, why do you need to talk so much here?"
Ma Jun was furious and rebuked Xiao Zheng.
"General Ma, he who knows the current affairs is a hero!"
At this time, Qi Fei, who was accompanying him, also rode out of the queue and shouted towards the top of the city. Being able to defeat others without fighting is naturally the best. No matter what, even if it is nonsense, you have to shout it a few times first.
"Hmph, who am I? It turns out that he is also a man who seeks glory behind his back!"
Ma Jun's words were unambiguous, and this scolding made Qi Fei both angry and ashamed.
"Haha, this little Ma Chao still has some backbone!"
In the distance, Gui Yunzheng smiled. It seemed that it would take some effort to conquer Xinye City.
