~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this time, the surrounding area of Wancheng was fully controlled by the bandits, and there were more than ten patrol soldiers alone, so when something happened to Niu Jin's group of patrol soldiers, Lei Bo quickly learned about it. This was a terrifying moment. Killing a team of patrol soldiers was a provocation in itself. Even Niu Jin, a confidant who was once his personal guard, died in a bad life, which was even more slapped in the face. If Lei Bo was indifferent and did not respond, he would not be called a bandit.
Revenge comes very quickly.
A moment later, Ma Han led more than 20 people to follow Liu Ye to the south gate. This was the main gate of Qiao's dock wall and also the place where the thieves formed a formation and fought.
Liu Ye was entrusted by Gong Qiao to command all the armed forces in Qiao's Wubi to fight against the thieves. However, now Ma Han, the "Magic Marshal of the World", is here, and Liu Ye is happy to be the boss. Of course, on the surface, it is Liu Ye's commander, and Ma Han is hidden behind the scenes.
Ma Han first needs to confirm who the bandits are, and the reply received is Lei Bo's deputy general Leju.
Not Lei Bo? What a pity. If Lei Bo is really here, Ma Han doesn't mind being a sniper, looking for favorable terrain, and sniping as much as possible to kill it. All of them will be done.
Then, we need to find out how many people and horses came to the thief army? How many regular soldiers? How many auxiliary soldiers? What equipment is available? Whether there are siege equipment, etc. We need to find out these information. The experienced Dragon Wolf Knight is more competent than any ranger.
At that moment, Liu Ye sent two Wuding to lead three Dragon Wolf Cavalry to reconnaissance.
The other information needs to be observed close to the number of people. With the experience of Ma Han and others, you can estimate eight or nine out of ten by just a few glances. There are indeed many thieves coming, not less than two thousand, but looking at the formation, the formation is a bit messy and obviously lacks the solemn spirit of the army.
After seeing this, Chen Dao said with confidence: "There is no need for a large army for such thieves. If all three ships of people gather together, they can be defeated by two hundred sharp men."
Ma Han pointed at the bandit army from afar: "Le's guards are arranged in an orderly manner and have murderous aura. That is the elite of the bandit army. If the bandit army attacks later, you don't have to worry about it, and Wuding will reject it. If this team goes to fight, you can take action."
At this time, a thief army rushed from afar, stopped at an arrow, and shouted at the top of the city: "My supervisor has an order to quickly release our captured brothers and hand over the evil men who slaughtered my brothers for no reason, but Paul and others have nothing to do. Dare to say half of the word, the army breaks the city, kills no one to keep."
Ma Han raised his hand and pointed, Guqi, who had aimed early, relaxed his strings. Sneak! He swept the sky with an arrow, and flew over a hundred steps under the surprise gaze of thousands of eyes, and pierced the thief's forehead from the slanted upwards.
The thief rushed forward. The city was cheering and cheering, and the thief army was shocked. Unexpectedly, they could not escape even if they were standing a hundred steps away... When was such a sharpshooter in the Qiao family's dock wall?
Liu Ye smiled when he tucked his beard. At this time, an inappropriate voice came: "The two armies fought and did not kill them. Such behavior is disgusting."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a thin face, protruding cheekbones, a goatee, and a thin eyes full of contempt.
Ma Han remembered that he saw this last time when he visited Xuzhou six or seven years ago. Since then, no one has dared to look at him with such a look. Unexpectedly, once he concealed his surname and hidden his name, he actually encountered such a s...
As an alien and a poor man, Guqi has long been used to all kinds of cold eyes. It doesn't matter if others look down on him, but as long as the general can respect him.
Well, the reason why this guy is so arrogant is because he is one of the elders of the Qiao family, Qiao Chong, a cousin of Qiao Gongzhi. Qiao Chong, who once followed his brother, the general Qiao (Qiao) Rui under Yuan Shu, was engaged in the army and had some experience in the army. Before Qiao Gong invited Liu Ye, he was in command of the matter of resisting the thief. After Liu Ye arrived, Qiao Chong assisted him and assisted in the dispatch.
There is no reason for Qiao Chong to target Ma Han like this. First of all, he believes that the thief invasion was caused by Ma Han and others. Of course, this statement cannot be made public. After all, they are helping him to eliminate the thieves. Secondly, Qiao Chong, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, and Le were both simple-minded and advocated a settlement through peace talks, so the resistance was not active. If it weren't for the second person with experience in fighting formations in the Qiao family's wall, Qiao Gong would have replaced him. Finally, it was also the most important point. Qiao Chong asked himself that his identity was superior, but he did not expect that Liu Ye's attitude towards Ma Long was so strong that he knew how much. How could Qiao Chong stand up to this tone? He did not dare to cause trouble for Liu Ye, but he had no such concern for Ma Han. Therefore, it seems that Qiao Chong was scolding Gu Qi, but in fact he was targeting Ma Han.
After all, Liu Ye was a guest, so it was hard to say. Ma Han treated this guy as air and said to Guqi: "I'm shooting well. I'll have another guy who doesn't know how to tell you later. Then I'll shoot me to death."
Guqi grinned and bowed to respond. Chen Dadao all the dragon and wolf cavalry below smiled.
Ma Han's insidious words really made Qiao Chong very angry. The goat's whispered straight, and he felt a little "a scholar who met a soldier and couldn't explain it clearly." So he bowed to Liu Ye: "I'm so fond of Ximen to dispatch." He turned his sleeves away.
Neither Ma Han nor Liu Ye took Qiao Chong seriously, and focused on the battle that was about to begin - the attack of bandits.
First, hundreds of servants were driven away to fill the moat with soil. During this process, no arrow was shot from the top of the city and half of the stone was thrown. The reason was that these servants were all civilians captured from nearby, and they were all fellow villagers in the village. Who could do it?
The bandits still adhered to the bottom line, and only ordered the servants to fill the river and push the siege weapons. They did not force them to participate in the battle, and they killed each other with their villagers or even their relatives. Of course, there were also fears that the servants would be killed, so there would not even be a person who could fill the river at that time, but instead they were in danger. In short, staying at the front line for others and themselves is convenient for both others and themselves.
Seeing that the servant was so unscrupulous, Guqi couldn't help but raise his bow, but was stopped by Ma Han. It would be better not to force himself to stand up for such anger that it would be angered by the public.
In the silence at the head of the city, half an hour later, the Anhui tributary in Huwu was cut off and a passage was filled.
The bandits were obviously angry by the arrogant arrow. For the first attack, they dispatched more than 800 bandit soldiers and more than 200 soldiers, pushing more than ten cloud ladders and carrying more than 30 long hook ladders. They attacked from the west and south directions.
The roar shook the sky and the drums were thrust, making the docks who had not passed many battles so nervous that they were a little confused. Some archers shot out the arrows in their hands before they could get the order, and they landed dozens of steps away from the thieves; some were so nervous that they ran over the boiling water, making them scream with their companions; not to mention those who wanted to find a toilet when they were urinating, let alone...
Ma Han and Liu Ye were standing on the south gate tower, which was the command position. There were more than 20 Dragon Wolf Knights and Danyang soldiers around. Under the protection of these first-class elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ye even sent his entourages to the city wall to assist in the battle without guarding.
But Liu Ye didn't know that the Danyang soldiers were fine, but the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Wolf Cavalry was seriously restricted.
In addition to heavy cavalry, the Dragon Wolf Strong Cavalry is equipped with bows, especially the bow cavalry, and there are two bows: an ordinary hard bow and a pulley strong bow. But no bow can be used at the moment, because they are all riding bows. Among the more than 20 people, there is only one Guqi, who uses a step bow. And it is the old vine bow he brought from Louyi that he has used for more than ten years. So now, there is only one Guqi who can use the original bow and arrow openly.
Liu Ye made a batch of step bows for use by the Dragon Wolf Knight and Danyang soldiers. Unfortunately, most of them were soft bows, with less than three hard bows. They could barely be used. In this way, the biggest advantage of the Dragon Wolf Knight is no longer there. In addition, the thick armor of the heavy armor guard cannot be worn. Only the light cavalry guards can be worn. Moreover, because the long weapons are left on the ship, the Dragon Wolf Knight who has not been retrieved in time, the combat power of the Dragon Wolf Knight who has lost its sharp weapon is further weakened.
However, even though he could only use 30 to 40% of the combat power of the past, the Dragon Wolf Knights and Danyang soldiers from Chen to the lower level were still full of confidence - nothing else, the bandits were too bad.
To be honest, Ma Han has been to the Three Kingdoms for so long, and has never fought a battle to defend the city. His troops have a camp that can be attacked and destroyed, a dragon and wolf cavalry galloping, and a serpentine who are as guarded as rocks. But they have never been beaten to the city and are forced to defend.
Ma Han's idea of observing a fierce offensive and defensive battle was quickly shattered. There was no way, both the attacking and the defense were too inferior. The defense was very amateur, and there were many defensive loopholes and defensive disconnections. If it were a well-trained regular county and state soldiers, they would have already hit the city. The thief army could not seize these opportunities at all. They often rushed up and were poured down by a burst of arrows and stones, boiling water, and they could not hold on for a few strokes. Then, under the threat of the supervising team's sharp axe, they rushed in chaos.
Ma Han, Chen Dao and others shook their heads when they saw it. These bandit soldiers were not much stronger than Wu Ding, and they were not even as good as the bandit patrol they defeated earlier. It seemed that the cheerful elite were still in their hands.
After fighting for nearly half an hour, I couldn't rush to the city. This was the case with the South Gate, and the West Gate was similar.
Qiao Chong quickly sent someone to report: "Although the thief's attack was fierce, it was attacked by my elite soldiers and soldiers. Four attacks and four defeats, and there were hundreds of corpses left. Qiao Wu had no further thoughts." The proud look was beyond words.
Ma Han and his guards were still calm, and their eyes were always fixed on the thief army.
Time is approaching dusk and late autumn nights come very quickly. It will be dark in half an hour. I believe that the thief army will retreat by then.
At this time, the servant next to Gong Qiao hurried to the door stairs and bowed to Liu Ye and said, "The head of the family asked Mr. to go to the main hall to discuss important matters."
Seeing that the war was stable and there was a general in charge, Liu Ye went there with confidence. However, Liu Ye ignored one thing: It is true that the general was in charge, but he had no command power. Is the general who had no command power or a general?
When the first torch lighted up on the head of the city, Ma Han suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "The Central Army has moved."
Chen Dao held the spear in his hand, and the Dragon Wolf Knights took out their weapons one after another. They had been impatient for waiting. It was really boring to rely on this kind of water and fleece, so it would be better to have a fight. But they were destined to be disappointed, because these nearly a hundred soldiers of the central army rushed to Ximen.
Chen Dao asked for advice with his eyes, and Ma Han nodded silently. So Chen Dao waved his hand, and except for four dragon and wolf cavalry guards, the other twenty people disappeared into the chaotic crowd with Chen Dao's figures.
After a moment, the sky gradually darkened, and the sky was lit up with stars and lights of fire.
Chen Dao and others came back soon. At first glance, Ma Han knew that they had not participated in the battle. Their clothes were wrinkled, but there was no blood. The weapons were shining without any bumps and damage.
"It's so annoying." Before Chen Dao could speak, Asu angrily slashed the door frame. "That Qiao Chong didn't let us participate in the war at all. He said that he had 200 disciples, all of them were heroes, and twenty of us were just bullshit... He also said that Doctor Liu was not here, and he was the chief general, and we all had to obey his command and actually asked us to move stones..."
Ma Han said lightly: "Did you move?"
Chen Dao said: "I moved a few pieces to deal with it. After all, he is indeed the main general. If the battlefield violates orders, it is easy to lose the population."
Ma Han nodded, Chen Dao handled it well, and it was just that.
While I was talking, I suddenly heard a thunderous sound in the west. From a distance, I could see torches dancing in chaos.
"Oh no." Chen Dao held the long spear tightly and looked into the distance, "The thief army is afraid that it will rush to the city."
This time, Ma Han did not order an attack. It was not just a matter of Qiao Chong's failure to cooperate. In such a dark night, fighting is very easy to be injured by accident and is also easy to be separated. He only has more than twenty brave guards, so he really cannot afford to lose.
After a while, the screams became more and more shocking, and a group of people could be seen running over in panic, including a few of the guests Qiao Chong was proud of.
Asu jumped downstairs, grabbed a person, and shouted loudly: "What's wrong with Ximen?"
The man shook his hands desperately, but he couldn't take them off, so he hissed: "I was killed by a group of fierce armored soldiers and rushed into the dock while the night was dark. It's so miserable... I said, can you let go? I have to go home to protect my wife and children." (To be continued...)
