1105 Trapped in a small town
In the land of Wuxi barbarians, ethnic minorities like to hunt around, slash and burn, and there are few cities. The city where Shamoke lives is called Yangke, which is half smaller than Yiling, the moat is shallow, the city wall is not high, and there is no advantage in the terrain.
On weekdays, the army is basically stationed outside the city, and the inside of the city is more tense than Yiling, and it is impossible to accommodate so many people, which is also one of the important reasons why Shamoke wants to dominate the city of Jingzhou.
Yangke City has Shamoke in town, and there was no need to worry about it in the past, but now that Shamoke has left, the unfavorable side is immediately shown here.
Shamoke has been with Ma Liang for more than half a year, but he trusts him very much, and feels that his ability is no worse than any one in Wuxi, so before leaving, he handed over the rest of the soldiers and horses to him to manage.
But Ma Liang was not happy at all, in fact, there were only more than 10,000 people in the army belonging to Shamoko, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses belonged to other barbarian tribes, and once there was a war, they might not be able to completely control it.
Sure enough, on this day, what Ma Liang was worried about still happened. Overnight, the 40,000 barbarian army did not say goodbye, so that Ma Liang, who lived in the city, did not hear any movement at all.
Hurriedly sent someone to inquire, but someone reported that the Jiangdong army of 200,000 was coming. In order to preserve their strength, these tribal leaders met up and ran away with people unceremoniously, knowing that it was a loss-making deal, and no one was willing to do it.
Where did Jiangdong get so many soldiers and horses, it is clearly a rumor, and a little analysis can make it clear that these tribal leaders still have their own selfish intentions, and they are not willing to work for Shamoke at all.
Ma Liang was annoyed and ashamed, and immediately sent people to chase after him, and sent others to make peace with the tribal leaders. But the result made Ma Liang helpless, after all, these tribes only listen to Shamoke, and he, a Han person, can't call them at all.
There were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and Ma Liang's sense of crisis became more and more strict, and in the afternoon of this day, another news came that Jiangdong really came with a force of soldiers and horses, which was Huang Gai's 10,000 army.
Ten thousand? Fighting in the plains, this is not an astronomical amount, how did Huang Gai know that he only had 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city?
Ma Liang frowned, and immediately understood that the rumors must be the people sent by Huang Gai, the purpose of which is to divide the forces of his own side, and then take Yangke City.
"Ma, Ma, Mr. Ma, Wu, Wu ......"
Shamoke's subordinate Luo Qi found Ma Liang and stammered to report the news, Ma Liang frowned and interrupted him, asking, "Is it the Wuling army that is coming?" β
"Yes!" Rocky nodded hurriedly, and then asked, "How, for example?" β
"Alas, now we only have more than 10,000 people, listen to my orders, hold the city, and don't fight with Huang Gai. The king must have learned the news at this time, and he will return to the rescue, and I will hold on until the king returns. β
"If, if, strong, strong, strong, what if, what then?" Rocky craned his neck and asked again.
Ma Liang waved his hand very annoyedly and said: "Prepare more bows and arrows and rolling wood, if you really can't hold it, then make plans." β
"What are you going to do?" Rocky asked.
Ma Liang glared at Rocky dissatisfied, and scolded: "Before the battle, think about the future, go to meet the enemy first!" β
Be! Rocky hurriedly went down to arrange and transferred all the barbarians outside the city back to the city, and Ma Liang was worried, so he personally came to the city wall and commanded the soldiers to carry the defense materials.
At this time, Ma Liang's mood was very complicated, and he even missed Yiling a little, if this place was as strong as Yiling, let alone 10,000 troops, even if 100,000 came, he didn't have to worry so much.
Ma Liang sighed slightly and shook his head, he didn't expect that when he was in danger, he thought of Wang Baoyu. It's really a creation that makes people, it should be a pair of brothers in distress, who will accompany each other for a lifetime, but it has become the current antagonistic situation.
Baoyu, Baoyu, if you know that I am in trouble, I will definitely not stand idly by! Ma Liang shook his head, put these thoughts behind him, and concentrated on resisting the Huang Gai army.
Huang Gai led the Wuling army, and that night came to set up camp five miles outside Yangke City. Huang Gai was a strong general in the world, with rich experience in war, and Ma Liang didn't want to rob the camp at all.
The next morning, Huang Gai poured a large army, and when he came to the city of Yangke, he looked up and saw Ma Liang on the city wall, and said with a smile: "Shamoke is not here, and you are definitely not an opponent." Ma Liang, you are also a genius in the world, why bother to die for a small city, it is better to abandon the city and surrender, my lord cherishes his talents, and will not treat you badly. β
"General Huang, the one who is the enemy with you is not Ma Liang, please withdraw from the army, don't be embarrassed." Ma Liang arched his hand from afar.
"If you are in Yiling, for the sake of the love of King Hanxing, I should retire from the army, but today you have betrayed the Lord for glory, followed Liu Bei, and today you are here to help Shamoke, how can I tolerate you?" Huang Gai said unceremoniously.
"Old horseman, how can you go back to the Lord to seek glory, how do you know about the grievances between me and Wang Baoyu?" Ma Liang was furious, and Huang Gai's words were equivalent to revealing a scar in his heart.
Huang Gai sneered and said unceremoniously: "I don't care how many grievances you have, I am loyal to the Lord, and it is the duty of a courtier, and it is really shameful for you to look forward and backward and abandon your friends and join the enemy!" Now that they have suffered retribution and are trapped in this small city, the people of Yiling must have known that they have raised their glasses to celebrate at this time! β
Huang Gai's words pierced Ma Liang's sensitive nerves, he suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist, pointed at Huang Gai angrily and said: "Old horseman, if you want to fight, you will fight, why bother!" β
Ma Liang didn't know martial arts at all, and the saber on his waist was just an ornament, Huang Gai was very disdainful, and said: "Well, for the sake of King Hanxing is the son-in-law of Jiangdong, I will leave you with a life, and I will definitely take this city." β
After that, Huang Gai ordered that no one should release cold arrows at Ma Liang, and the army raised its shield and pounced on Yangke City in an orderly manner.
Seeing this situation, Ma Liang hurriedly ordered the arrows to be released, and for a while, on the city wall, arrows rained down. However, the disadvantage of the low city wall soon became apparent, and the army on Huang Gai's side, as they marched, also fired arrows at the city wall.
Therefore, under the first wave of arrows, the casualties on both sides were about the same. Seeing the soldiers around him fall one by one, Ma Liang's heart was very anxious, and in less than half an hour, Huang Zhong's army had already braved the rain of arrows and swarmed under the walls of Yangke City.
At the same time, the giant wood used to hit the city gate was also pushed to the city gate, and the rumbling sound of hitting the city gate was endless!
Ma Liang shuttled among the soldiers, constantly directing the downward throwing of stones, and the loss of Huang Gai's soldiers and horses was also caused by different Cheng DΓΉ, but, in comparison, Jiangdong's army appeared to be more well-trained and did not appear chaotic due to casualties.
