565 Offensive and defensive battles in Chang'an
It was only at this time that Ma Teng and Han Sui suddenly realized that what they thought Guo Peng was stupid was not so.
It wasn't Guo Peng who made the fool, but them.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago, how could such a shrewd person Guo Zifeng make such a big mistake? He must have something to rely on to do this, otherwise, isn't he just joking with his inheritance? ”
"Yes, now that I think about it, the two brothers Yuan Highway and Yuan Benchu were defeated by Guo Zifeng together, with their fame and strength, Guo Zifeng can actually defeat them, isn't this the reason why Guo Zifeng has completely surpassed them?"
Ma Teng and Han Sui finally figured out what kind of opponent Guo Peng was, but at the same time, there were even greater doubts.
"What kind of scale did he organize to save so much food? An army of 100,000 marched 800 miles, counting the consumption of people's auxiliaries and livestock, and at least 400,000 rations, he could actually afford it......"
After Han Sui said this idea, Ma Teng's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
"Guo Zifeng's goal is really Chang'an? And not the whole Liangzhou? ”
Han Sui was also stunned by Ma Teng's idea.
If you think about it, it's really possible!
It is really possible for Guo Peng to do such a thing, and judging by his savings, it is not a lie!
"Could it be that Guo Zifeng's purpose here is to uproot us?"
He ...... He wanted to directly occupy all of the northern kingdom and then ...... Dominate the world? ”
The speculation is getting more and more terrifying, but it is also getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter.
Zhang Ji was directly scared stupid.
For so many years, I have been seeking skin with the tiger?
A fierce tiger that chooses people to devour......
After thinking of these contents, Zhang Ji and Ma Teng completely lost their sense of proportion and didn't know what to do.
And when they were panicking, Guo Peng had already ordered Zhao Yun to cross Weishui from the north of Weishui and camp on the south bank of Weishui to deter Chang'an from the north.
He also ordered Cao Ren to lead his army north and threaten Chang'an on the south side of Chang'an.
Guo Peng personally led his army across Bashui and camped on the west side of Bashui, threatening the east of Chang'an.
North, south, east, three sides, 100,000 troops, formed a fierce oppression of Chang'an.
The offensive and defensive battle of Chang'an was launched.
Guo Peng would not leave his hand, and with an order, the armies of the three sides launched a raid on Chang'an together.
Under the overall command of Guo Peng, one hundred and fifty trebuchets surrounded Chang'an City from three sides and launched a terrifying megalithic attack on Chang'an City.
When Ma Teng Han Sui and Zhang Ji saw huge stones flying in the air on the tall and majestic Chang'an city wall, crossing a beautiful arc and then falling directly on the Chang'an City Tower, their thoughts were momentarily stagnant.
In the end, there is nothing to say about the siege weapon that I have never seen, I don't know how to evaluate it, and naturally I don't know how to resist.
Seeing the huge stones smashed on the city wall, or smashed onto the city tower, the debris splashed, wounding many soldiers, a whole stone directly smashed up, some soldiers were simply smashed into meat sauce, and some legs or arms were smashed, and they howled miserably.
The Liangzhou soldiers on the city wall shouted fiercely, constantly fleeing in all directions, and some were even too excited, causing them to fall off the city tower and fall to death.
Rushing to escape, scrambling to dodge, there was chaos on the city tower.
The same is true in the city behind the city tower, because a large number of stones flew directly over the city tower to the city, smashed the buildings in the city, killed the Liangzhou soldiers in the city, set off bursts of dust and smoke, and took away the lives of one person after another.
The Liangzhou soldiers and soldiers above and below the city tower were in turmoil and almost uncontrollable.
On this basis, after half an hour of bombardment, the tunnel traps around Chang'an City were all filled, and the defense facilities and obstruction facilities were leveled by the Wei army.
So Guo Peng decisively ordered the whole army to attack and began to attack the city.
The Wei army's foot soldiers formed a military formation with a large shield on their heads, and approached the city wall step by step.
When it reached a certain point, the trebuchet's attack was about to stop, and the crossbowmen in the army formation suppressed the fire on the head of the city and covered the advance of the foot soldiers.
The dense rain of arrows caught the Liangzhou soldiers who had just come back to their senses and were forced to resist by the officers.
One after another were hit by arrows, one after another fell to the city wall and died, and one after another fell to the ground and died.
The ladder was driven, and a large number of Wei soldiers attached themselves to the city, trying their best to climb the tower.
The highly trained crossbowmen in the military formation began to shoot at fixed points to cover their comrades who were climbing the city tower, and when they saw someone lifting a rolling stone to smash it down, and raising a spear to stab it down, they shot an arrow at it, doing their best to protect their comrades who were climbing the city wall.
Their casualty rate is the largest, and no matter how hard they try to cover, the casualties will not be less.
A large number of Wei soldiers climbed the city wall and began to fight, and many Wei soldiers were smashed down by stones and wood before they could climb up, and died on the spot.
There were also Wei soldiers who were poured hot boiling water on their heads, screaming and falling off the city tower and falling to their deaths.
There were also those who were killed by an arrow from a crossbow, and some who were stabbed by a spear.
More often than not, after climbing the city tower, in the face of the Liangzhou soldiers who are far more numerous than their own, they work hard to fight for more space, and often they can't escape the inevitability of dying in battle.
As more and more Wei soldiers climbed the city tower, they could fight back and forth with the Liangzhou soldiers, and fierce battles were carried out on the city, and death was happening all the time, all the time.
Ma Teng never thought that such a tall and sturdy Chang'an City would be attacked on the first day of the siege.
The siege tools used by the Wei army beyond his imagination also gave him a great shock, causing panic among the soldiers in the entire Chang'an City.
Everyone is rumored that Guo Peng can do spells, and he can use spells to throw dozens of pounds of big stones into the city and kill everyone who opposes him.
For this reason, it is not for nothing that the soldiers were frightened to collapse and could not fight, on the contrary, there were quite a few of them.
Ma Teng approached to fully command the soldiers of the city wall he was responsible for to resist the attack of the Wei army, and the cannon fodder could not resist it, so he pulled his own personal soldiers up, and used elite and well-armored personal soldiers to step forward to resist the Wei army head-on.
They are defending the city, occupying the advantage, and the reinforcement speed is much higher than that of the Wei soldiers, but they are pressed and beaten by the Wei army at the head of the city, what is it?!
Ma Teng took his two sons, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, to personally put on the battlefield and did their best to resist the attack of the Wei army.
On the other side, Zhang Ji also fought hard for his life, took his nephew Zhang Xiu, and took the elite guards to the city tower to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Wei army.
Zhang Xiu took the lead and was unstoppable and supported the resistance of this city wall.
Han Sui was not willing to hand over the dominance of the city wall so quickly, and in order to defend the city, Han Sui also went into battle in person.
Han Sui, accompanied by his son-in-law Yan Xing, led his elite soldiers to the city wall, and Yan Xing, who had almost killed Ma Chao, provoked the heavy task of counterattacking and led the army to kill at the front, unmatched.
The fierce offensive and defensive battle of Chang'an is underway.
