After Ma Feng finished shouting, he quickly instructed his left and right.
"Bring people to the barbican to make arrangements. I will open the city gate in a while and catch a turtle in a jar.”
After hearing Ma Feng's words, Ma Yi sucked in a breath of cold air and hurriedly said,"Bo Yun, isn't it too risky? There are twenty thousand people under the city.”
"Second Uncle, we have to win a battle. Otherwise, how can we convince the masses? How could he persuade Di Dao's major clans to send out troops and grain? This little bit of danger is nothing. Go and prepare quickly. I'll stall for a while.”Ma Feng said in a low voice.
Beigong Boyu, who was at the foot of the city, was a real person. He kept saying that he would not kill anyone and that as long as he surrendered, he would benefit greatly…
"General, wait a moment. I'll discuss it with the prefect and let him talk to you.”
If he wanted to drag it out, he would drag it out…
Ma Feng saw that the soldiers and horses on the barbican were almost ready.
Beigong Boyu, who was below the city walls, was already impatient. He immediately shouted,"General Bei Gong, I'll get someone to open the city gates. You can enter now.”
After opening the city gate, Beigong Boyu did not suspect anything and immediately led the vanguard cavalry into Di Dao.
The moment he entered the city gate, Beigong Boyu felt that something was wrong.
" Retreat quickly. There's a barbican and an ambush…"
Ma Feng waved his hand and ordered all the soldiers on the city wall to start firing arrows.
In an instant, Beigong Boyu's vanguard troops were thrown into disarray. In an instant, hundreds of people died.
Ma Feng picked up a spear from the side and stared at Beigong Boyu who was in the barbican.
Then, he attacked. The spear in his hand was like an even thicker arrow, and he threw it out purely with his arm.
"Retreat, retreat, there's…"
Beigong Boyu, who was inside the barbican, was suddenly speechless. He lowered his head and saw a spear piercing through his chest from his back.
Heart-chilling, heart-soaring…
Beigong Boyu fell from his horse, dead.
Until the moment before his death, Beigong Boyu had been staring at the top of the city wall, wanting to see who was so powerful that he could kill him with a single spear.
With no one commanding, the situation inside the barbican became even more chaotic. Some ran forward, while others ran backward.
There were still people outside the city gate who had not seen through the ambush. They were constantly squeezing in. People were thrown off their horses, and it was a mess.
Out of Han Sui's three thousand vanguard troops, more than two thousand had died in the barbican, and only a few hundred had managed to escape.
General Beigong Boyu was nailed to death by Ma Feng's spear.
The top of Di Dao City was filled with cheers.
There was nothing more exciting than winning a battle.
Although Di Dao's city gates were open, Han Sui's army did not dare to attack.
After watching for a moment, he actually slowly retreated.
They retreated to Di Dao City and set up camp ten miles away.
Ma Feng could not help but sigh. This Han Sui really had some skills.
Knowing that Di Dao City was strong, his army had been chasing after it for a day and a night. They were exhausted and did not attack rashly even though the city gates were wide open.
Just this steadiness alone was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Ma Feng watched from the top of the city wall for a while. He gave Pang De a few instructions and brought his men to the city.
He arranged a place for the remaining soldiers to stay, gave them some food, and arranged for them to rest.
The follow-up arrangements could be discussed later. They had to settle down first.
What Ma Feng did not expect was that there was not a single official among these ten thousand soldiers.
He wondered where the other county governors had gone.
The prefects ran the fastest because they had horses.
He thought he was smart and brought his trusted aides to leave the main group and escape in different directions. He felt that the fewer people who escaped, the higher the chance of survival.
Little did he know that he died even faster.
Ma Feng sent another 1,000 cavalrymen out of the city to gather the remaining soldiers.
Those who ran away were sent to Angu County, which was not far from Di Dao.
After resting for a night, Han Sui led the army to Di Dao City the next day.
This time, Han Sui did not send anyone to persuade them to surrender. Instead, he began to attack.
Zuo Chang had already made the scaling ladders for them, but they did not have any large-scale siege weapons. They only had scaling ladders.
Han Sui also wanted to test the waters.
According to the information Han Sui had received, there were not many county soldiers in Di Dao City.
It was difficult for Han Sui not to know about Ma Teng's departure. How many troops could Di Dao have in just a few months?
Yesterday's failure was due to carelessness.
Han Sui felt that if they were to use the ladder to attack the city, it would not be a problem for them to have at most a few thousand defenders.
Han Sui sent 8,000 men to attack the city.
However, Han Sui would never have imagined that Di Dao had prepared such an exaggerated tool to defend the city.
Ma Feng had long made preparations. In order to prepare the rolling stones, he had even hollowed out a small mountain.
Although the county soldiers had never fought a real battle before, they had put on a show to defend the city countless times and had made proper arrangements.
The commoners constantly transported rolling stones, wood, and pots of hot oil from the city to the top of the city.
If there were wounded, the commoners would be ready at all times to send them down the city wall for treatment.
As Han Sui's army charged forward, they were greeted by a rain of arrows.
A few rounds of arrows had killed thousands of Han Sui's soldiers.
When they finally reached the city, the scaling ladder had just been set up when pots of hot oil poured down from the top of the city wall.
Before the attack had even begun, there were already endless screams from below the city.
The lethality of the hot oil was actually limited. It could not kill people, but its deterrence was much more exaggerated than ordinary city defense equipment.
Especially the screams below the city.
The guards on the city wall felt a chill run down their spines.
At this moment, some soldiers could not hold on any longer and wanted to retreat.
Han Sui was not to be trifled with. With 1,000 soldiers, he would kill whoever ran away.
"Whoever can reach the top of the city wall first will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars. Whoever can kill Governor Li Mu will be rewarded with one hundred thousand dollars.”
