Chapter 535 Three Strategies to Defend the City

Although it was an officer and soldier who lost his eggs, as the most brave representative of Yang Hualin, the deputy commander, he was similar to the entire elite cavalry who lost their eggs.

Especially after Ma Yingniang cut off the man's right and wrong roots, she didn't behead him on the spot, but got on her horse and drove him back to the ranks of officers and soldiers.

This person stumbled all the way, and after walking back to the formation with blood dripping from his crotch, the morale of the officers and soldiers dropped to the extreme.

The deputy commander Yang Hualin's face was as cold as ice, he held back for a long time, and almost said: "What a disgraceful thing, why don't you return to the formation, cut yourself off!"

It's just that as the commander-in-chief of the first army, if he really said such a thing, it would inevitably make people feel chilling.

Seeing this person so ignorant, Yang Hualin almost gritted his teeth.It's just that the matter has come to this point, and he can only regret it.

When Ma Yingniang was out of the city, he should have ignored it and ordered the army to attack.Even if she loses a little demeanor, it's better than being ashamed now.

It's just that there is no medicine for regret in this world, who made Yang Hualin obsessed with lust at that time, and insisted on molesting the little lady opposite?
There was no other way, the matter had come to an end, Yang Hualin, the deputy commander in chief, had no choice but to order the [-] cavalry under his command to abandon their horses and attack Wangximen tentatively.

It is different from what many people imagine, thinking that cavalry can only fight on horseback.In fact, as cavalry, they are basically elites. These people are heavy cavalry when they mount their horses, and heavy infantry when they dismount.Whether to ride a horse or not depends only on the needs of the battlefield.

Five hundred cavalry abandoned their horses, formed a square formation, and slowly pressed towards the city gate.

Ma Yingniang knew that her mission had been completed, and if she continued to entangle, it would be useless except for losing troops and generals.

She hastily shouted twice to the city, telling Hong Niangzi to put down the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and prepare to return to the city.

The moat outside Luoyang City is five feet deep and three feet wide. Converted to later data, it is about [-] meters deep and about ten meters wide.

Usually, there is not much water in the moat, so as not to damage the city.It was only because of the frequent military disasters this year that water from the Cang River, one of the tributaries of the nearby Luoshui River, was brought in to turn the moat into a moat.

Now that there is a moat, it is natural to set up a suspension bridge outside the city gate.

With the sound of "squeaky" winches, the heavy suspension bridge fell dully to the ground outside the moat, splashing a burst of dust.

Not waiting for Ma Yingniang and others to step on the suspension bridge, Yang Hualin was overjoyed when he saw this.He quickly ordered five hundred infantry to attack, and at the same time ordered twenty or thirty cavalry to rush over, trying to entangle Ma Yingniang and the others.

Ma Yingniang heard the sound of horseshoes behind her, turned her head and saw twenty or thirty officers and soldiers galloping towards them.She couldn't help raising her eyebrows coldly, and she wanted to lead all the people under her command to kill him.

Dudu Zhang on the city saw that he understood, and hurriedly shouted desperately: "Just enter the city, don't delay, and we will figure out the rest!"

Ma Yingniang was actually a little skeptical, but fortunately she learned from Zhang Shun that Dudu Zhang was also a veteran defender of the city.She believed it for the time being, so she patted her horse on the bridge and ran towards the city gate.

Ma Yingniang led fifty Zhang Shun's personal guards, and the suspension bridge was narrow, so many people could not cross it at once.

Fortunately, we are all veterans, so we are not in a hurry.After finally crossing the bridge, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers galloped to the drawbridge.

The suspension bridge is heavy, how can I pull it up so quickly in such a hurry?However, Dudu Zhang, Han Lin, and Gao Yizhi didn't panic at all, instead they looked at each other and smiled.

Just waiting for the officers and soldiers to rush to the suspension bridge, there was only a burst of gunfire, and more than ten people were swept to the ground in an instant.Even some war horses were beaten to a bloody mess and fell to death on the spot.

And the armor on those elite cavalrymen was like paper, and they didn't even have the slightest resistance.

Yang Hualin, the deputy commander in chief, couldn't help being taken aback, only to find that there were several heavy artillery hidden on the left and right sides of the strange city gate.

The firing range of the artillery was so close, and the shot was shot, the officers and soldiers naturally couldn't resist, so they had to retreat in a panic.

It turned out that after Han Lin and Gao Yizhi suggested that the gate of Luoyang city be built, an acute-angled enemy platform was added on the left and right sides of the gate.There are shooting holes behind each enemy platform, which can form left and right crossfire.

Yang Hualin had only met their own defensive facilities such as horse faces and city towers before, and had never encountered enemy towers, so they suffered a dark loss when they met face to face.

In fact, after the officers and soldiers failed in the duel, they were humiliated by Ma Yingniang, and their morale had long been lost.Yang Hualin, the deputy commander, knew this well, and only reluctantly attacked again in order to give an explanation to Governor Chen Qiyu.

Now that the cavalry surprise attack failed and the second attack was frustrated, Yang Hualin could only retreat three miles away with resentment, and began to set up camp.

Seeing this, the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief, Song Xiance stroked his beard and said with a smile, "What I was worried about was that the defense of the city would collapse if touched."

"Now that the officers and soldiers are a little frustrated, as long as we strengthen our defenses, it will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to take down Luoyang City in a while!"

It was only then that the red lady realized that she forgot to invite Song Xiance to participate in the panic of the discussion yesterday, and she quickly apologized to him.

Song Xiance laughed, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, the old Taoist priests are not good at these things. If you can't write well, you can't do martial arts. It's just a little trick."

"Now that I've been watching the battle in the city for a long time, I have two things to be careful about. I wonder if you would like to hear them?"

After hearing the words, the red lady knew that Song Xiance was deeply loved by Zhang Shun, so she deliberately took the opportunity to make some suggestions, so as to eliminate her grudges and avoid getting involved in the vortex of females competing for favor.

She smiled and nodded her head.I never thought that when Song Xiance said something, everyone was full of praise, even Zhang Shenyan couldn't help but patted his forehead and laughed: "I knew that Mr. Song is a great talent, but I never expected to see it today."

It turned out that Song Xiance's first strategy was to attack officers and soldiers at night.

The days of winter are short, and it is already dark when Shenshi arrives.Shenshi, also known as Fushi, is equivalent to [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. in later generations, and it is the time when people in this era have dinner.

Henan General Soldier Wang Shaoyu is eating noodles at home.Suddenly heard the news that the soldiers came, outside Zhang Shenyan, Zhang Gong, Song Xiance, Mr. Song and Zhao Lizi, General Zhao, asked to see him.

Wang Shaoyu couldn't help but secretly cursed "bad luck".Now that the times are not good, an official like him can no longer eat white noodles all at once.

These plague gods who can't afford to offend are here, and it is imperative to ask the servants to prepare a few more bowls of noodles.What's more, in the past two days, the big households in the city have often sent people to pass on messages to him, if a word or a word reaches the ears of the "thief", I'm afraid I will be in trouble.

There is no other way, now "people are knives and I am fish", he had to straighten his clothes and hurriedly responded.

Several people were courteous, and Fang was welcomed into the living room by Wang Shaoyu.Zhang Shenyan looked down and saw a half-eaten bowl of noodles on the table, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm bothering Zongbing Wang to eat!"
