Ma Yiping's troubles were all in vain, and the time was delayed until the second watch. Five hundred special force soldiers were crouching in the wilderness, their clothes soaked with dew, and the cold wind blew them all as if they were falling into an ice cellar.
If they hadn't gone through similar training, ordinary soldiers wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago.
The deputy squad leader slowly crawled up to the squad leader and whispered: "Squad leader, the time agreed upon with the Iron Spear Battalion is only one hour away. We must take action."
The team leader nodded and said: "Okay, I will lead fifty experts to climb up and seize the city gate first, and you will lead the others to arrive later."
…
…
Ma Yiping returned to his residence in the city angrily. His anger was still lingering. When he saw the seductive sleeping posture of the maid on the bed, he took off his armor and clothes. He was about to vent his anger on the maid. Suddenly, outside
The loud shouting of death made Ma Yiping jump up in shock.
"What's going on?" With the help of the soldiers who ran in, Ma Yiping hurriedly put on his clothes and armor, grabbed his sword and rushed out of the house while roaring.
The squad leader climbed up the city first, then dropped the hook and pulled dozens of expert team members up to the top of the city. Then, a team of hundreds of people climbed up silently one by one.
The city gate was taken down in a matter of seconds. When the city gate was wide open, the Yangshan County soldiers on the top of the city reacted and someone beat the war drum.
After the county soldiers were stunned for a while, some of them rushed towards the city gate, trying to drive out the enemies who controlled the city gate.
But some people hesitated for a while and rushed forward slowly. There were even a small number of people who quietly ran to a place where no one was around, took off their military uniforms, put on civilian clothes, and waited for the Far Eastern Army to enter the city.
.
Although the county soldiers who first rushed in numbered nearly a thousand, they were disorganized, their combat power was pitifully low, and they had little morale. Under the leadership of the special forces team leader, the side with fewer people actually defeated the larger group.
The other party was driven back step by step after being killed. Instead of taking the city gate, they were driven back. For a moment, you looked at me and I looked at you. No one dared to charge forward.
The squad leader led hundreds of special forces soldiers to fight with no fighting spirit from more than a thousand county soldiers, but they could easily hold on to the city gate for a stick of incense. The time of a stick of incense is fatal.
, when Ma Yiping led 5,000 county soldiers to the city gate, the Yangshan County soldiers just blocked their counterattack.
At this time, the rapid sound of horse hooves outside the city could be heard clearly. Under the firelight, it could be seen that a group of Far Eastern Army cavalry had appeared not far away.
When the first cavalryman shouted and walked through the open city gate, splitting a soldier's head with a shiny machete in his hand, Ma Yiping knew that the situation was over.
The Far Eastern Army used a small group of special forces experts to sneak into the city at night and seize the city gate. Then a large group of cavalry came roaring in to defeat the defense and seize the city. This tactic was not used by the Far Eastern Army much before, but it has been used before.
Ma Yiping was good at learning, and he had privately thought about how to deal with such battles, so he insisted on patrolling the camp at night and asked the soldiers at the top of the city to stay vigilant, but now it seems that these are of no use at all.
Under the firelight, 20,000 cavalrymen from the Iron Spear Battalion rushed in and instantly dispersed a large number of garrison troops at the city gate. Under the iron hooves, let alone these county soldiers who had low combat effectiveness and no morale, they
Even five thousand county soldiers could not stop it.
A sad smile appeared on Ma Yiping's face. The only thing he didn't understand was why the spies he sent out to keep an eye on the Far Eastern Army didn't get any information to him before.
"General, leave quickly. Retreat. If you don't leave, it will be too late!" An officer next to him saw the distraught Ma Yiping.
"Let's go there?" Ma Yiping murmured to himself.
"General, flee to Yangshanguan as soon as possible. The Far East Army will definitely attack Yangshanguan by surprise. Let's go to Yangshanguan quickly and let them prepare!" the officer said urgently.
Ma Yiping woke up with horror. Yes, if Yangshan Pass is lost, the Far East Army can go straight into Xindu County, as if it were an uninhabited country.
"Go, go, retreat!" Ma Yiping turned his head and walked away.
The general fled, and thousands of elite county soldiers followed Ma Yiping. Thousands of Yangshan County soldiers in the city instantly dropped their weapons, paused, held their heads in their hands, and shouted to surrender.
Looking at their expressions, there was not much of the decadent look that defeated soldiers should have. On the contrary, they looked excited, and the expressions on their faces said, 'Why did you come here! It's been so hard to wait for you.'
The battle to seize Yangshan County was unexpectedly swift. Even the commander of the Iron Spear Battalion, Lu Han,
I was also a little surprised that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court in front of me had absolutely no will to fight.
"General, general, the chief general of Yangshan County, Ma Yiping, led more than 4,000 people to escape from the east city gate." The pioneer officer who entered the city first sent a soldier to report loudly to Lu Han, who had just entered the city.
Lu Han smiled and said: "Before attacking the city, I had expected that the enemy troops that slipped through the net would flee towards Yangshanguan, so I had already sent more than 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to set up a dragnet, waiting for them to run into it.
!”
…
…
In the cold wind, Ma Yiping and more than 4,000 soldiers braved the cold wind and fled in the dark towards Yangshanguan, because behind him, a fire dragon could be vaguely seen coming towards them.
Obviously they were the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army who came to chase them. Ma Yiping felt bitter in his mouth. There was still more than fifty miles to go to Yangshanguan. Can he escape?
In the darkness, there was a deafening cry of killing. Suddenly, thousands of torches were lit in front of them and on the left and right sides of them. Under the light of the fire, groups of soldiers lined up in neat battle formations were coldly fighting.
Watch them.
Ambushed?
Ma Yiping felt desperate for a moment. Through the firelight, he found that there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him and on his left and right sides. Everyone was holding a long bow, and their cold arrows were pointed at them from a distance. As long as the other party fired a salvo, they would be defeated.
Most of the four thousand people of his own could die.
"Surrender without killing!" There were three thousand cavalry in front of Ma Yiping. A captain from the Iron Spear Battalion at the front shouted loudly. As he shouted, the long bows in the hands of the Far Eastern Army soldiers in the front row were instantly thrown.
Buzz buzz...
Amidst the terrifying sound of the steel strings vibrating, a rain of arrows fell. Ma Yiping and others waved their weapons in despair, but these sharp arrows did not shoot at them, but fell around them, more than 4,000 people.
, forming an arrow prison.
At this moment, they walked away from the gate of hell, but Ma Yiping and others were so frightened that they all turned pale, and even broke out in a cold sweat in the middle of the cold winter night.
"General, let's surrender!" an officer next to Ma Yiping finally couldn't help but said.
"General, let's surrender!" dozens of officers said at the same time.
"General, let's surrender!" More than 4,000 county soldiers said in unison.
