Chapter 360: Countering Whatever! (1/2)

A new round of stone volleys began. This time, with the addition of Sima Ye’s fire oil bombs, the casualties on the city wall reached a new high.

“Rotation!! Troops below, go fill in! Those above bring the injured down!”

At Bai Xiaofei’s order, his soldiers on all four walls responded at the fastest speed possible. At this moment, time was of the essence. Thanks to the rotation defence plan, soldiers would swap out during bombardments, successfully avoiding the attacks.

However, during the bombardment, Sima Ye’s soldiers had rushed into the trench area!

The preparation during the day displayed its effectiveness. Sima Ye’s troops were dramatically slowed from approaching the city wall. At the same time, the heavy crossbows on the wall finally welcomed their opportunity for achievements. However, this kind of casualties was completely within Sima Ye’s calculations. This was the price that must be paid to approach the wall, otherwise, his troop points wouldn’t be so many times more than Bai Xiaofei.

Gradually, more and more soldiers entered the trenches, and some began to assemble ladders under the wall.

“Ambushers!” As Bai Xiaofei shouted on the wall, the messenger immediately blew the horn. The next second, right inside the trenches, a bunch of troops sprang out waving their weapons.

Blocking the enemy’s advance was only an additional function of the trenches. Bai Xiaofei’s real purpose was this – ambush! With the night and the city wall attracting everyone’s attention, plus the soldiers in the trenches were hiding under a thin layer of soil, no one noticed until Bai Xiaofei ordered the horn!

This surprise team achieved good results the instant they appeared. The charging enemy soldiers never expected that someone would jump out from below their feet and cut them down like reaping wheat. After that, the ambushers jumped out of the trench and ran right to the wall, cooperating with the archers along the wall to take the lives of the enemy who had passed the trench along the way.

“Open the gates!”

After the ambush team nearly annihilated the first wave of enemies, the gates were opened and Sima Ye, in a dark corner, suddenly went crazy when he saw this.

A chance! Bai Xiaofei, you are too greedy!

This damned batch of soldiers should be left to me!!!

Sima Ye’s infantry behind sped up. Formation and order no longer mattered now. As long as they reached the wall, everything would be solved!

However, a scene that Sima Ye could never think of happened.

After the gates were opened, the soldiers outside didn’t rush in right away, and instead, the cavalry squad who had been killing left and right charged out from inside.

It was not until this moment did Sima Ye finally understand one thing.

Why did Bai Xiaofei dig trenches everywhere, leaving only a passage in front of the entrance? Because he had been preparing for this moment!

However, this realization came too late…

Stampeding in a careless momentum, the cavalry once again reaped a large number of heads. Upon their triumphant return, Bai Xiaofei’s ambushers had also come back inside and the gates that had greatly provoked Sima Ye slowly closed…

Sima Ye’s heart was bleeding.

From the beginning until now, Bai Xiaofei’s endless countermeasures had consumed nearly half of his troops, while Bai Xiaofei only lost less than 30%. This kind of loss had seriously exceeded his calculations.
