Accidents are accidents precisely because they are unpredictable.
There are no young people in the flowers and trees department because they all came to Dongguan.
Not only the Flower and Tree Department, but also the Anatu Iron Wolf Guards from the Golden Wolf King Khan's tent, as well as some small tribes outside the border, also came, totaling more than 30,000 people.
The frontier army scouts discovered that Liang Rong had gathered 30,000 troops and rushed towards Dongguan two hours ago. Ma Rujing, who was stationed at Dongguan, made an immediate decision. All the archers from Guoyi Battalion under Niu Ren boarded the city wall, and the Pioneer Battalion had also assembled.
After finishing, they gathered behind the city gate.
Most of the people in Guoyi Camp were archers, and Xiao Yi first served in Guoyi Camp, and he was also the captain of Fengche in Guoyi Camp. However, last year when the border army was mobilized, he became the battalion general of Ma Gong Camp.
Ma Rujing did not send troops from other battalions to assist in the defense. The two battalions of Dongguan Guoyi and Pioneer had a total of 21,000 troops, which was more than enough to defend the city.
The horse on top of the city stood like a king, his face as sinking as water, surrounded by guards holding large shields.
The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the third is to attack the army, and the third is to attack the city.
Most of the famous generals in ancient times did not like siege warfare and tried to avoid siege warfare because siege warfare caused the greatest losses.
Many soldiers called siege warfare "antfu", which means that people climbed up the ladder like ants, and then were crushed to death and thrown down like ants.
But if you attack the city with ants, the rewards are also very high.
Ancient wars rarely included street fighting. Even if they did, they were small-scale street fighting. Once the city gate was breached in a large-scale battle, the outcome of the battle could almost be determined. The defenders, whether military or civilian, would not see the city gate breached.
, will basically give up resistance.
War is undoubtedly cruel, both for the defending party and the attacking party.
Thousands of arrows were shot down from the top of the city, and among the cool thieves who rushed in the front row, even though they were wearing leather, iron, or wooden hand shields, some of them were still shot down.
On the city wall, the archers from Guoyi Battalion and Pioneer Battalion kept firing arrows. Every time the arrows rained down, some Liang people struggled to the ground.
Once struck by an arrow and fell down, death is inevitable.
Because if you fall down, you will be trampled by countless people.
The battle came quickly. There was no negotiation after the thirty thousand cold thieves appeared. Under the Dongguan city wall, it turned into a Shura slaughterhouse in the blink of an eye.
Ma Rujing stood at the top and did not need to give orders personally, he only needed to think.
Thinking about why the Iron Wolf Guards led 30,000 people to attack without any warning?
There are too many issues to think about.
Ma Rujing was not worried about the city gate being breached. If the frontier army could not defend even 30,000 people, the Dachang Dynasty would not continue to this day.
But it was precisely because of this that Ma Rujing was confused.
The Iron Wolf Guards are not many in number. They are led by Anatu, the general of ten thousand men under the command of the Golden Wolf King Khan. They are all noble soldiers. There are about 5,000 people. They are the best among the best. But those who actually attack the city are only those on the periphery of the grassland.
There are small tribes, and these small tribes just carry the ladder and charge continuously, as if they are dying.
This is where Ma Rujing is most confused.
More than a mile away, the noble soldiers of the Iron Wolf Guards on horseback raised a large flag, the wolf-headed flag.
Ma Rujing can be sure that Liangrong general Anatu must be in the military formation.
Although he had never met him, he had heard that Anatu was extremely brave and would take the lead in every battle. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the most powerful general under the Golden Wolf King.
But this fierce general was nowhere to be seen today, and even the Iron Wolf Guards under his command did not approach the city wall.
Those who charged were only Liang people from other tribes. Even many Liang people who attacked the city could no longer be called rangers. They didn't even have shields and seemed to be just ordinary herdsmen.
Yes, they are herdsmen. There are more than 20,000 people. It is almost impossible to climb the city wall. After a long attack, many Liang people have turned around and fled. The Iron Wolf Guards in the rear finally moved. The eight thousand iron wolf guards
The Wolf Guards spread out on horseback and moved at high speed, like a big net. Anyone who turned around and ran towards them would have their heads slashed by their ruthless scimitars.
Ma Rujing on the city wall narrowed his pupils and looked at Liu Wang.
"Does Liang Rong have any precedent of supervising battles and killing his own people?"
"Very few."
The battle is still going on. The ladder is extremely cumbersome and requires dozens of people to push it. It is still more than 300 steps away from the city gate.
The archers on the city wall were like ruthless machines, shooting sharp arrows from their hands one after another, forming a rain of arrows like locusts, harvesting human lives all the time.
Ma Rujing's confusion became more and more serious. Not to mention 30,000 people, not just 50,000 people, but even 100,000 people might not be able to break through the city gate. What exactly was Liangrong's general, Iron Wolf Guard Anatu, fighting?
What's the idea?
Liang Rong's attack is still going on. It's an attack, but it's better to say he's using his life to close the distance with the city wall. There are only three ladders to climb.
Ma Rujing couldn't figure it out. No general could figure it out. Everything that appeared in front of him seemed as if Liang Ren deliberately wanted to die.
Chu Qing and others, who came all the way from Xiguan on fast horses, ran up the city tower. As soon as they approached the city wall, the smell of blood hit their nostrils.
Under the city gate, there were piles of corpses. The Liang people stepped on the corpses of their companions and slowly pushed them up the ladder until they too turned into corpses and were trampled by the tribesmen.
Such a shocking scene touches my heart.
Chu Qing, who saw this scene for the first time, turned pale.
Corpses, densely packed corpses, are just under the city gate.
Changxian was not tall enough and needed to use his feet. He just glanced at him and started retching with a loud sound.
Nangong Ping was a little better. Although it was his first time seeing such a scene, he was able to stand firm.
Chu Qing looked at the most cruel scene in the world, that is, war, and endured the physical discomfort.
Fu San didn't know where he got a big shield from, and kept it beside Chu Qing.
The location where everyone was located was at the highest point of the city wall, next to the turret. It was blocked and had an unobstructed view. Because of this, everyone could see very clearly.
The windy sand mixed with the smell of blood hit your nostrils. The yellow sand was covered with corpses and corpses, trampled corpses, and people who were about to become corpses.
"How does this look like you are sending yourself to death?"
Chu Qing forced himself to adapt to the smell and everything in front of him in the shortest time, and quickly ran to Ma Rujing: "Ma Shuai, why do you feel that these cold thieves are seeking death?"
Even Chu Qing, a layman, could see that Liang Ren, who was pushing the ladder, seemed to be dying.
Ma Rujing did not answer because he could not answer.
Chu Qing looked at the city again and couldn't help but ask: "How long will the fight last?"
Liu Wang replied: "Almost an hour."
Chu Qing, a layman, was slightly stunned, looking at the corpse under the city gate, slightly in a trance.
It's almost two o'clock, but not many people have died?
The ladder was still moving forward slowly. Chu Qing was extremely suspicious that even if he climbed the ladder to the bottom of the city, the Liang people would not be able to break through the city gate with more than 20,000 people.
