At the south gate of Liancheng, Ma Yi led the defenders and was struggling to resist the offensive. Suddenly, I heard bursts of astonishment from around me.
When he raised his head, Ma Yi slowly saw clearly that behind the siege equipment, there were not only the civilian camp, but also the Cangzhou Army wearing armor.
"What the hell...there are people from the Demon Queen."
"General Ma, General Ma!" A general ran over panting, "The little military advisor said that the people in Ling changed their armor and many of the soldiers changed into the appearance of the Cangzhou army. I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to capture Liancheng."
Hearing this sentence, Ma Yi's face calmed down slightly, and then became even more angry.
"This damn Ling Dog, and that Ling Su, they like to do cunning tricks the most! By the way, how is Ximen's situation?"
"There are enemy troops coming down the mountain in a roundabout way, and they are about to besieged!"
Ma Yi did not panic too much. Instead, he smiled and said, "There is a small military adviser at Ximen, so there will be no problem. If we hold on to this wave, these mausoleum dogs will be at their wits' end."
"Quickly, tell the troops about the Lingren's Yi Jia Cangzhou army."
"We will hold up our swords and guard Liancheng together. We must not let down the expectations of the lord and the little military advisor——"
…
Under the south gate, the siege battles became more and more fierce.
As Dongfang Jing said, Yi Jia's Cangzhou army was not as fierce in combat, and was still as vulnerable as those civilian armies.
Ma Yi sneered. But at this time, he did not know that the Dongling Army attacking the city had a terrifying back-up move.
It's not just the Cangzhou Army that's Yi Jia.
But Lian Lian, the real siege elite, Yi Jia became the civilian husband camp. At this time, no one could have imagined that Ling Su would dare to make such a plan and change his armor for the second time, which was unexpected.
"General Ma, those people from the civilian camp are coming again."
Ma Yi raised his head and looked at the "Minfu Camp" not far ahead. It was really a blunt weapon with thin armor. Surrounded by the siege equipment, even the phalanx was somewhat scattered.
"When you get close to the shooting range, shoot with flying arrows."
Right and left, things like this have been the case these days. The Minfu camp was so weak that they didn't even have shield guards. With just a few attacks, they could kill many people.
…
"There's still half a mile." A calm-faced Dongling general looked around, looking at the thinly armored figures.
The elite battalion of 20,000 people was selected from the Liang Wang Army and Dongling soldiers with great difficulty. On the surface, they have thin armor and no shield, but in fact, they each wear an inner armor lining. In addition, the configured objects include not only rope hooks, but also fire oil cans.
Woohoo.
Throwing stones passed overhead, and the bows in front also began to throw long-range flying arrows towards the top of the city.
"Wipe off the mud!"
After getting closer and closer, the elites of 20,000 people began to quickly wipe away the mud on the "dull knife".
On the ladder car in front, there were only a few defenders. There were only about a hundred civilian soldiers under orders, and they kept charging at the Shu people at the top of the city, bluffing as a cover.
The actual siege, according to what my military advisor said, would no longer rely on ladder trucks or even city ladders this time.
"It's close, it's close!"
General Dongling raised his sword and pointed angrily, and the 20,000 elite troops also began to re-arrange themselves into a neat siege square formation.
"Crush Liancheng!"
"Crush Liancheng——"
Twenty thousand elites roared in unison and rushed under Liancheng as fast as possible.
…
"Pull down the ladder truck!" Ma Yi was commanding the defenders to hold on to the ladder truck's siege. After all, throughout the ages, this type of large siege equipment has been the most dangerous.
Little did he know that the ladder truck at this time had become a cover. The real crisis of siege comes from the "Minfu Camp" below.
"General Ma, something is wrong! This civilian camp seems to be different from the previous two days." General Youbi reminded.
Ma Yi glanced anxiously, then looked down and saw the imposing civilian camp. Unconsciously, he felt a sense of surprise in his heart.
"Quick, defend the city gate!"
"Hiiya!"
On top of the city, flying arrows rained down from the sky. Continuously falling towards the phalanx of the "Minfu Camp". In an instant, two to three hundred soldiers fell.
But even so, the civilian camp in front of them was not in any disarray like before. Instead, it was aroused with a fierce energy.
"General, these people... threw out the rope hook!"
"Damn it!" Ma Yi was shocked and stepped forward hastily. Under the dawn of dawn, the civilian camp approaching the city gully threw countless rope hooks towards the city wall.
"Ignore the ladder truck, everyone, go back to guard the city wall! Reserve camp, don't count the time, go to the top of the city for me!"
"Cut off the rope hook!"
On the top of the city, the soldiers guarding the city slashed at the rope hook with their long swords. Unfortunately, the position of some rope hooks is extremely cunning. They are not hung too high and cannot be cut by a long knife.
"Pour the boiling water!"
Round after round of boiling water poured down. Until an hour later, the speed of the people transporting the boiling water could not keep up with the speed of dumping.
As if a dagger pierced the heart, at this moment, the defense at the south gate of Liancheng became more and more chaotic.
The Dongling elite who were the first to climb up roared and raised their swords, slashing a Western Shu defender down the city wall.
"Block it, block it for me!" Ma Yi's eyes were about to burst. His own military advisor had already told him to be careful of arrogant soldiers, but he never thought that despite all his attention, he still fell into Ling Su's "Second Armor Change" plan.
Those ladder trucks and well-mounted trucks were simply camouflage to attract the defenders to disperse.
Click.
Ma Yi raised his head angrily, chopped off the head of an Dongling pawn, and kicked the body down.
"Everyone go to the city and guard the city gate together!"
…
Dongfang Jing's face became extremely surprised when he heard the information from Nanmen. He had been warned, but Ma Yi still fell into the trap.
"Little military advisor, the south gate is in emergency. More and more people from Dongling are climbing on the city wall first!"
"How many reserve troops are there under Ximen City?" Dongfang Jing said with a serious expression.
"Less than three thousand people."
"Li Lu."
A assistant came hurriedly.
"You take the three thousand people under Ximen City, go around to the south gate, open the city to fight, and slow down the elite offensive of the Ling people. Lingsu gave up the siege equipment and only used the rope hook as a surprise attack. You can rush out quickly. City Gate, cooperate with Ma Yi and defend the city gate at all costs."
"General Li Lu, Dongfang Bolie sends you your regards."
"The military advisor is joking, I was born in Shu, but apart from my lord, I have never seen any king who can help us eat rice and wear Shu brocade."
"I, Li Lu, are guarding our homeland, so why not die!"
With a fist-cup in the direction of Dongfang, General Li Lu quickly descended from the city gate, led the three thousand people under the west gate, and began to rush to the south gate.
"kill!"
Half an hour later, the south gate of Liancheng opened. Just waiting for the three thousand people to come out, it closed again with a cry.
"Gun shield formation, intercept the Ling people's offensive!"
Outside the south gate, three thousand people followed one after another, regardless of life and death, and fought together with the Dongling elite who were attacking the city.
On the top of the south gate, he suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced. When he went to the bottom of the city to see clearly, Ma Yi burst into tears with self-reproach. But soon, he wiped away his tears again, reorganized his defense, and continued to resist the rope hook. The enemy troops ascended.
"Kill them all!"
Outside the south gate, almost all of the three thousand Shu troops who rushed into battle were killed. General Li Lu and the last hundred or so personal guards were surrounded.
He was not afraid. After seeing clearly that the siege force had slowed down, he laughed loudly, led the last men and horses, and rushed towards the enemy.
…
"Damn, damn!" Ling Su's voice trembled. After the second change of armor, coupled with the arrogant soldier's plan, the Western Shu guard general had obviously fallen into the trap. Seeing more and more elites arriving first——
But they never thought that at this time, some Shu people dared to fight out of the city, easing the army's offensive.
"I should have kept a flanking force as cover." Ling Su closed his eyes in pain. With one more rope hook, the Western Sichuan general will definitely not fall into the trap.
Moreover, after watching these three thousand Shu troops die in battle, the defenders at the south gate of Liancheng seemed to become even more fierce.
"Pass my order to shoot another round of signal arrows while the night is still dark."
When he opened his eyes again, the expression on Ling Su's face suddenly became more decisive.
