"Shield!"

Pound drank.

Boiling water was poured down the ladder, and except for Pound's team, the rest were unresponsive and were doused all over. The boiling water poured on them, causing them to subconsciously fall off the ladder.

"Ahhh There was a sudden scream, and the besieging troops suffered heavy losses.

And in just the beginning.

At the same time as the boiling water was poured, all the soldiers defending the city fired two rounds of arrows in a row, dealing a heavy blow to the troops charging outside the city. This directly caused confusion among the besieging forces, derailing them from the melee forces ahead.

The source of troops can't keep up, and the attack power naturally declines.

Pound was attacked continuously, and although he dodged them, his men suffered heavy casualties.

Pound is hesitating...

Should we retreat first, regroup and then attack?

He hesitated for only three seconds.

He decided that there could be no retreat!

Because the siege of the city depends on a lot of blood and morale, once it is vented, if you want to find this feeling, the soldiers will also have fear.

No matter how difficult it is, fight to the end.

Pound stared at the shield with his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, and roared angrily: "Those who enter live, those who retreat die, rush up with me!" ”

"Kill..." The Xiliang army besieging the city did not retreat, nor was it afraid, but was very aggressive, and climbed to the city tower even more frantically.

Ma Chao, who was watching the battle from a distance, also noticed that the battle situation was unfavorable to the Xiliang army, and he remembered that when he attacked Chang'an City with Yan Liang last year, the Hebei army used several troops to attack the city. One is the shield soldiers, which are used to fend off arrows and protect the besieging troops. The second is the archers, always looking for opportunities to counterattack the enemy on the tower. Now, for example, he could find a group of archers to go to the moat bank to cover the besieging troops.

"How did I forget about this?" Ma Chao reacted and ordered Ma Tie: "Gather two hundred archers and release arrows towards the city tower." ”

"No."

Ma Tie went to prepare.

The Western Liang army rarely participates in siege warfare, and it is no wonder that they are rusty and do not know the steps of siege.

Fortunately, Ma Chao made timely adjustments to stabilize the battle situation.

.............

The siege battle was fierce, and Pang De tried to climb the tower several times, but was repelled by Hao Zhao. But the Xiliang army never gave up, but became more and more courageous.

"Little sister is leading the army here, I'll personally go to meet Hao Zhao for a while!" Ma Chao said suddenly.

"Good. But... Brother beware. Ma Yunlu did not stop Ma Chao, and only Ma Chao could turn the tide of the war.

Ma Chao selected three hundred elites and took the lead in rushing to the city tower.

"Hao Zhao, go die!" Before Ma Chao crossed the moat, he roared at the city tower. And Hao Zhao also noticed Ma Chao, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he didn't dare to call a few deputy generals carelessly: "Ma Chao has come to attack the city in person, don't be careless." Use all of our crossbows and aim them all at Ma Chao. As soon as he approaches the tower, attack him with boulders and boiling water, and never let him go up to the city. ”

"No..."

Compared with Pound, Ma Chao is the most threatening.

Hao Zhao didn't use a strong crossbow against Pang De before, after all, the power of a strong crossbow is extraordinary, and it can often turn the whole situation around in a desperate situation. It can be used as a trump card to defend the city, once it is easily used, and when the enemy is on guard, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Now that Ma Chao is attacking the city in person, Hao Zhao can't care about keeping his hands, and he must go all out.

"Archers ready...." The generals defending the city give orders according to the usual way of playing.

"Don't use archers. The bow and arrow retreat and shoot at the enemy in the distance. From now on, go all out to deal with Ma Chao! Hao Zhao corrected.

"Uh..."

This style of play is very incomprehensible to the generals.

Aren't bows and arrows used to defend cities? And it's a sharp weapon to defend the city, and it's just right to deal with Ma Chao. However, Hao Zhao gave up using a bow and arrow, and fired back with a crossbow arrow.

"Crossbow bolts ready .... Put! ”

Hao Zhao personally ordered.

Whoosh...

A platoon of powerful crossbow javelins, swooping down.

There were seventeen guns, all of which flew towards Ma Chao.

Clang! Clang!

Ma Chao reacted quickly, turned around a few gorgeously, and dodged fifteen javelins, but two of them could not be dodged, so he could only raise his guns to meet them, ready to block the javelins that were fired.

I saw that the javelin collided with Ma Chao's silver spear, and although it was blocked, it made Ma Chao take a few steps back.

Obviously, the attack of the strong crossbow, with the blessing of distance, is stronger than Ma Chao.

"See, although we shoot out few javelins, as long as there is a javelin and hits Ma Chao, Ma Chao will retreat because of passive blocking, disrupting the rhythm of his siege." Hao Zhao said with a smile: "Just fight like this, shoot with bows and arrows, and deal with Ma Chao with javelins." In less than half an hour, he must have been exhausted and withdrawd. ”

"General, general... Pound is attacking.... At this time, a soldier came to report.

Hao Zhao looked sideways, and sure enough, he saw Pang De carrying a long knife and jumping up from the ladder.

"In order to deal with Ma Chao, I forgot about him." Hao Zhao said to the surrounding generals: "According to my strategy just now, you guard this section of the city tower and don't let Ma Chao come up." ”

"You come with me..." This sentence was said to the guards behind him.

Hao Zhao's personal guards are all strong spearmen, and they are the best at attacking in teams, not only restraining cavalry, but also effectively encircling and killing generals with high martial arts. Especially under the leadership of Hao Zhao, the spear formation has many new ways of playing.

"Hao Zhao is dead!"

Pang De saw Hao Zhao rushing towards him, bullied forward, and made a sweep.

Clang!

Hao Zhao waved his knife to resist.

He felt a huge force coming from Pound's long knife, which pressed his arms with pain, and his body involuntarily retreated.

"What a strong strength..." Hao Zhao had to admit that he was much worse than Pound.

If you fight alone, you will definitely be abused.

Fortunately, at this time, his personal guards arrived and approached Pound in his place.

Kill, kill, kill...

The spear formation of a row of ten people was very close to each other, and all the soldiers were sideways forward, less than ten centimeters between the spears and the spears. The roar makes people's scalps tingle when they hear it.

"Hmph, carving insect skills! Hao Zhao, will you just hide behind? Do you dare to fight me? Pang De took two steps back, wanting to provoke Hao Zhao to make a move.

It's a pity...

Hao Zhao was not fooled.

Pound could only give up the strategy of shackling the head and deal with the pikemen first: "Kill..." ”

Bell, bell, bell...

The knife slashed through the air and slashed at the spear with a piercing sound.

In normal times, Pound's blow is enough to cut off all the spears, and then a few kicks will be enough to finish off the enemy. But this time it was a miss.

Pound took a closer look and understood the reason for the failure. The first half of those spears were made entirely of iron, just with a layer of paint, and they looked like wood.

The long knife slashed at it, and all it sparked was sparks.

"Thrust!"

Hao Zhao seized the opportunity and let out a loud shout.

The spear array quickly forward, reaching Pound's abdomen.

Bell, bell, bell...

Pound blocked continuously and retreated in embarrassment.

"You're a turtle-like guy who plays yin. Okay, I won't play with you anymore, if you have the guts, just chase after you. Pound also changed his tactics and no longer entangled with the spear array.
