Chapter 136: The Might of Danyang Soldiers

For two consecutive days, the Xiliang coalition army made no achievements.

When I attacked the bottom of Sanguan, I found that the army stationed on Sanguan was not a small number.

At least forty thousand.

Around Sanguan, according to the topography, a lot of low mud and wood walls were temporarily constructed.

Although it was short, it relied on the steep terrain of Sanguan, and the Xiliang coalition army attacked for two days and two nights, but could not approach the pass.

The troops stationed at Sanguan don't know what the stone-throwing carts in their hands are made of.

hit a long distance, but it was still a fireball, a big piece.

The Xiliang coalition army finally left tens of thousands of corpses under the pass and withdrew to the camp.

On Chen Cang's side, there was no progress.

Ma Chao called for the battle twice, and was beaten back twice by others as a sandbag.

Ma Chao organized 50,000 soldiers and horses left in the camp to launch an attack on the city, but was almost wiped out by Zhang Guang, who suddenly went out of the city to meet the attack.

Ma Chao will always remember.

Behind the sharpshooter were thousands of dead-looking cavalrymen.

All of them had iron chains in their hands, and at the ends of the chains were iron balls with iron spikes.

The iron ball swept away with the iron chain, and several cavalry of his Xiliang coalition army must have been swept off their horses.

Those thousands of cavalry were not people at all, but wolves.

Ma Chao saw with his own eyes more than a dozen Xiliang coalition troops besieging and killing a kind of deadly cavalry, and in the end, he was violently attacked by others and bit one to death.

In the end, if it weren't for Ma Chaoqin and 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to fight, it is estimated that they would be able to kill Ma Teng's main account with one go.

Xiliang coalition camp.

No more cheers, no more shouting.

Everyone sat there silently nibbling on the dry food in their hands.

Nearly 500,000 people went out to fight, and they were full of spirit, and they swore not to return if they did not take the pass.

Now that only three days have passed, and even the number of enemies has not yet been figured out, but the corpses of nearly 100,000 comrades-in-arms have been left under Chencang City and outside Sanguan Pass.

This is not counting, because it is a hasty joint army, and the grain and grass are not properly prepared.

Liangzhou is poor.

In addition to mines and mines, there is little grain.

I thought that I would soon be able to capture Chencang and take the big granary Yixian County in Guanzhong, so I didn't have to worry about grain and grass.

Now it seems that he can only find a way to solve the problem of grain and grass by himself.

Ma Teng's leg injury worsened and he could no longer continue to lead the army, and the position of main general was handed over to Ma Chao.

"Everyone, General Pang De of Longguan, has already collected a lot of grain in Hanzhong, and it will be delivered in a few days."

"Tomorrow, we will no longer attack Sanguan, and go all out to capture Chencang."

"We still have 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the most of them are 50,000 stationed in Chencang."

"400,000 vs. 50,000, what are we worried about?"

"Warriors, pick up the bowl in your hand, we will be happy, tomorrow, Pang Rou and I will all go into battle, let us take Chen Cang in one fell swoop under the care of the gods."

"The beauties and wine in Chencang City belong to all the warriors, let's use Zhang Guang's head to pay tribute to the souls of those brothers."

I have to say that Ma Chao's means of inciting morale are no worse than his son Ma Teng.

The camp of the Xiliang Coalition Army has regained its indomitable high morale.

"Pang Rou, tomorrow, you and Liang Xin and Cheng Yin will lead the army to attack Chen Cang from the front, no matter what, you must be fierce and fierce, and they will be out of breath."

"I led an army of 50,000 to cross the Weishui River overnight and go north, and raided from the north gate of Chencang."

"Ma Chao, here is to the north, but the mountain road is south, you have gone in the dark, okay?" Pang Rou was worried that the 50,000 soldiers and horses would accidentally fall to their deaths on the road.

"No problem, the people I selected are very familiar with the area of Chen Cang."

A quiet night.

Before dawn, Zhang Guang woke up.

Zhang Guang slept on the city gate tower at night for the past two days.

Today, the earliest to wake up is to wake up for no reason.

I don't know if it's the intuition of fighting for many years, Zhang Guang always feels that there will be an accident today.

Zhang Guang walked around the city wall and woke up Huang Yan, who was also sleeping in the city gatehouse.

"Huang Yan, when you were building this city wall, why was the north wall so short?"

"We haven't been here for long since we came to Chencang, and we haven't had time to get it done, the mountains over there are steep, and the army can't attack the city from there."

"Ordinary people can't go around there, but Qiang people can."

Liu Bang and Han Xin's Ming Xiu Plank Road and Dark Chen Cang, Zhang Guang knows it.

Ma Chao can't attack Chen Cang openly and secretly repair the plank road?

"Tai Shici, give me your three thousand Danyang soldiers."

"Huang Yan, there are always two stone-throwing trucks in Chencang City, right?"

"Dian Wei, take the tattered car you pulled from Chang'an to Beicheng."

With Ma Chao's Western Liangqiang personality who knows some strategies, it is very likely to engage in Beicheng.

Zhang Guang hurriedly ordered to hand over the southwest gate of Chencang to Tai Shici and Huang Yan, and led three thousand Danyang soldiers to Beicheng with Dian Wei.

Zhang Guang and Dian Wei led three thousand Danyang soldiers in Beicheng and waited for the sun to rise, and there was no movement.

On the contrary, on the southwest gate, since dawn, the sound of siege battles has not been interrupted.

"Big brother, look at Southwest City, we have been fighting all morning, and there is no movement here, are we thinking too much?"

"Dian Wei, you go to the southwest city wall to see if there is any Ma Chao in the enemy army who has been calling for battle outside the city for the past two days?"

"Okay!"

Dian Wei jumped off the city wall and ran towards the southwest city.

The highest place in the north city is one zhang, much shorter than the southwest city, Dian Wei can jump on the wall casually, and it is easier to jump down.

Zhang Guang waited for Dian Wei to come back at the head of the city to report the situation, but Dian Wei didn't wait, and waited for a small archer under Tai Shici.

"My lord, General Dian Wei asked me to tell you that no trace of Ma Chao was found in the enemy army."

"Oh, what about the Dian Wei people?"

"The southwest city wall has begun to engage in hand-to-hand combat, General Dian Wei has stayed, let me come here to talk to you."

This Dian Wei is so belligerent.

can't blame him, he came from Chang'an City all the way, and he fought with Ma Chao twice, and later went out of the city to fight, and Tai Shici also went.

After noon, the southwest city was still attacking very fiercely, and these Xiliang soldiers were really able to fight, without rest.

Even those Danyang soldiers couldn't hold it back, and people kept coming to propose to Zhang Guang to reinforce the southwest city.

Zhang Guang ignored it, and his eyes were fixed on the dense forest at the other end of the valley outside the city.

"Ma Chao, you just hide inside, I don't believe it, when will you hide."

Ma Chao did lead tens of thousands of people to hide in the woods.

At dawn, Ma Chao finally led his troops to the outside of Beicheng, killing and wounding nearly 10,000 people along the way.

Ordered a little repair, and after the siege of the southwest of the city began, he began to attack the north city, the north city is so short, more than 30,000 people rushed to kill at the same time, it was very easy.

Just as he was about to give the order to attack the city, Ma Chao saw the person he least wanted to see appear on the city wall.

A burly man with a mustache, behind him were those Danyang soldiers with a dead face.

Ma Chao saw these Danyang soldiers, their heads were big, these were thousands of wolves, wolves that even tigers could bite to death.
