Ma Niubai, Yue Dongwen and Lin Guang arrived at the city wall one after another.
At this time, the front troops of the siege army had already set up additional ladders and were climbing up with all their strength.
A soldier held a big knife in his mouth, used his hands and feet together, and climbed up quickly, quickly reaching the edge of the city wall.
Seeing this, Ma Niubi shouted excitedly,
"Good boy, good job, hurry up, I'm here to support you!"
However, not even two seconds after Ma Niu Fu laughed, a stick suddenly stretched out from the top of the city. Several soldiers put the stick on the ladder, shouted loudly, and pushed forward with all their strength.
The ladder fell backwards as they pushed it, and the brave soldier screamed and fell to the ground, dying on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Ma Niu was filled with jealousy and rage, and he yelled,
"You little thief! You are here to die!"
After finishing speaking, Ma Niuhui held the big knife in his left hand, grabbed the ladder with his right hand, and ran towards the city wall.
The ladder that required three or four people to lift was actually lifted by him.
And he was holding a large knife weighing several dozen kilograms in his other hand.
Ma Niuhui firmly erected the ladder on the city wall, and then said to the archer behind him,
"You guys, cover me and rush forward. The people behind me should follow quickly. As long as there are many of us, they won't be able to push us away!"
Hearing this, the archer immediately aimed at the gap in the female wall on the edge of the city wall. Ma Niujiao held a broadsword in his left hand and climbed up quickly with his right hand. The soldiers behind him immediately followed him and climbed up with him.
Finally, the horse and cattle arrived at the top, and when they were about to jump over the city wall, a rolling log suddenly appeared on top. It turned out that the defenders above were waiting for their group to come up, and planned to use a rolling log to kill them all. Smash them all down.
Seeing this, Ma Niubi held a big knife in his left hand and threw it directly onto the city wall, stabbing a lucky soldier to death. Then he held the top of the ladder with both hands, kicked off his legs, and jumped up with a beautiful front somersault.
The soldiers who were carrying the rolling logs were kicked by him on the rolling logs, and they fell to the ground.
When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they immediately came towards him with weapons. Ma Niuhui saw that his weapon was not far away, and knocked down a soldier with one punch. Then he ran into two people and knocked them away. He bent down to pick it up. He picked up the big knife, rolled a donkey, and slashed out with the sword, cutting off all the legs of the surrounding soldiers.
Ma Niuhui stood up, brandishing his sword, and guarded the vacancy in front of the ladder.
He knew that it was impossible for him alone to kill all the enemy troops. He could only rely on the people behind him to come up and engage in close combat with the enemy.
As long as an area can be opened, a steady stream of troops can come up from behind.
The soldiers at the back could also use their strength. When they saw the old horse rushing up, they immediately followed. Soon more than a dozen people went up and formed a defensive circle with the old horse, allowing more people from behind to come up.
Coincidentally, not only Lao Ma climbed the city wall, but Lin Guang to the south and Yue Dongwen to the north also climbed the city wall one after another.
The spear in Lin Guang's hand was like a swimming dragon, sometimes sweeping, sometimes prodding, and accurately killing every soldier in front of him.
On the other side, Yue Dongwen kept swinging the long sword in his hand, both offensively and defensively. The Yue family's swordsmanship was sharp and tricky, and he could kill a soldier almost every two or three times.
The martial arts of the three of them are more stylish. They use horse and bull skills to kill enemies with pure brute force. They are so powerful that they scare the enemies away from touching their edge.
More and more Nie Chen's troops boarded the city. Under the leadership of three powerful generals, they continued to compress the enemy's space.
After two hours of fierce fighting, the enemy troops were driven off the city wall, while Nie Chen's army rushed down like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, opened the city gate, and let the troops outside enter the city.
The moment the city gate opened, the outcome of this war was already determined.
Liang Peng waved his hand and the whole army attacked, and all the troops rushed into the pass in a mighty manner.
By the time Nie Chen, Liang Peng and others entered the pass, the war was over. More than a thousand enemy troops were captured. Two of the four commanders were killed and two were captured alive.
The entire Guiling Pass is like a large military camp. It is very spacious and has many houses, as well as training grounds, warehouses and other places. It can accommodate 100,000 people, which is more than enough.
In the past, this place was an important fortress to resist the enemy, so the facilities were very complete. However, later King Anton occupied Weihu County, and Guiling Pass became an inner pass, so there were not many soldiers and horses left.
Asking the soldiers to bring the baggage and other items over and take custody of the prisoners, Nie Chen and others escorted the two commanders into the commander-in-chief's mansion.
According to Liang Peng, these two commanders were quite capable and of good character, so Nie Chen persuaded them to surrender for a long time, and finally the two agreed to surrender.
Nie Chen was overjoyed and asked them to recruit the captives to surrender.
After they left, Liang Peng took people to inventory the warehouse and various materials. Then he inspected the east city wall with Nie Chen and others.
The east city wall is much taller and more complete than the west city wall, and has suffered almost no damage from the war.
After checking everything, it was already dark. The soldiers were cooking rice, and Nie Chen and others returned to the commander-in-chief's residence.
"Lord, let's discuss the next strategy."
Liang Peng took out the map of Weihu County, spread it on the table, and said,
"My lord, Guiling Pass has been captured. What we need to do next is to improve the defense of Guiling Pass and prepare for King Anton's next counterattack.
The second is to recruit the troops to surrender at Hukou Pass as soon as possible and completely seize the two major passes. Only in this way can we completely hold Weihu County in our hands. "
Nie Chen looked at the map, nodded and said,
"You are right, but King Anton's troops will probably arrive here within a month. Our Shadow Guards have not spread out that far yet. The specific information is not clear yet, but it won't be long before they arrive. , As a result, the pressure on Guiling Pass will be great."
Liang Peng said,
"So, I have to stay in Guiling Pass personally and take command. Just leave me 20,000 troops. Even if the opponent comes to 100,000 people, I can withstand it with the terrain of Guiling Pass."
"Is 20,000 soldiers and horses enough? What we have to face is King Anton!"
Nie Chen looked at Liang Peng worriedly.
"Don't worry, King Andong won't send too many troops here. They have to guard against King Zhennan's troops. The main force has to be in Dongping County. It's already amazing to be able to send hundreds of thousands of people to attack us.
If the number of enemy troops is greater, I will ask you for reinforcements. "
"Do you need to transfer Wang Hao to you? Wang Hao is still very good at defensive battles."
"I have heard of Commander Wang's reputation, but I don't need it."
Liang Peng shook his head and said.
