There was a lively fight on the west gate side, but there was not much movement on the east gate side.
First, Ma Rubao and Wang Liang were not aware of the situation in the city. Second, they attacked the city at the ugly time. It was when everyone was sleeping soundly, and they suddenly woke up from their sleep. For a while, they still didn't come back to their senses.
"General Wang, why is this?"
Ma Rubao asked softly with sleepy eyes. At that time, he had only slept for less than three hours.
"I expected General Lin to be attacking the city. Just listening to the momentum, it seems different from the daytime. Could it be that the King of England has arrived?"
Wang Liang thought for a moment and replied.
"Then, why don't we join in the fun?"
The horse is like a leopard, ready to fight.
Unexpectedly, Wang Liang shook his head.
"General Ma, listen, there seems to be unusual movement in Xinye City. I have to infer that the King of England must have used a strategy of combining inside and outside to disturb the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city. In this way, you and I only have to guard this gate. Just in case the enemy breaks out."
"Well, if you don't fight, there will be chaos. The King of England has a good plan!"
Ma Rubao praised.
"General Ma, in my opinion, you still need to be stationed at the north gate personally. There is no need to attack by force. Attack the enemy when they come out!"
It turned out that at the beginning, the horses rushed like leopards. Due to the limited troop strength, there were no troops waiting outside the north and south gates. When Wang Liang arrived, he sent five thousand troops and horses to each of them. This knits the pocket tighter. However, based on his own judgment, Wang Liang believed that if the enemy forces in the city chose to break out, they would probably come out from the north gate. Therefore, he suggested that Ma Rubao take charge personally. In this way, even if there are only five thousand soldiers and horses, it cannot be underestimated.
"Okay, let's go to the north gate. Here, General Wang will do the hard work!"
Of course, a horse is like a leopard and can be seen through at a glance.
Nowadays, Xinye City is in chaos, and the main gate is in urgent need of attack. It is expected that the city will be broken tonight. At the east gate, as long as Wang Liang stares there, cooperates inside and outside, and waits for an opportunity to attack, it will not be difficult to break it. There are five thousand soldiers and horses guarding the south gate, and the enemy may not dare to break through easily. On the contrary, this north gate, after all, is facing the north and Nanyang Mansion, and is very likely to be the enemy's breakout point.
…
Finally, Ximen was completely defeated.
Ma Ruhu, Xiao Zheng and others also quickly cleared away the enemy troops at the city gate and attacked the city.
"General Ma, hurry up, chase Ma Jun!"
Lin Zhijing, who finally regained his breath, pointed to the direction Ma Jun fled and said to Ma Ruhu.
He saw Ma Jun escape. However, he was surrounded by several people, and no matter how brave he was, he couldn't get out for a while. In this battle at the top of the city, he and Lu Yida were almost exhausted from the battle. The corpses of the enemy soldiers around them could be said to be piled up like a mountain. Both of them had several wounds on their bodies, which were given by their enemies. In a chaotic war, this is inevitable.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Ma Ruhu tried to challenge Ma Jun several times in the past, but he didn't want to lose this opportunity this time.
He immediately went down to the city quickly, jumped on his mount, and led Xiao Zheng and others to the north gate.
At this time, it was Yinshi, and the sky was not bright yet, but the lights in Xinye City were already bright. As the British king's army all entered the city, some were led by Qi Fei to capture the east gate, some were led by Wu Yingxiong to capture the south gate, and some went to the streets to issue notices and help put out the fire to calm the people.
And Ma Jun's breakout was not as smooth as expected. At the north gate, he did leave a force of about 3,000 troops led by the Ma Jiajun.
However, when he opened the north door and tried to escape, he heard a thunderbolt in the dark night.
"Jincheng's horse is like a leopard, it has been waiting here for a long time!"
When he looked up, he saw a horse like a leopard, reining in his horse and holding a spear, a hundred steps away, pointing his spear at him and shouting.
