Chapter 639: The Liangzhou Army Attacks Jiangling Again (continued)
Ma Chao watched the battle from behind, he sighed lightly, and then said to himself, as if to Guo Jia: "When will our army be able to take this city?" โ
Guo Jia smiled bitterly when he heard this, he really didn't want to answer, but he couldn't help but say something at this moment, so he said: "It's difficult! Lord, it is difficult to take Jiangling by force! โ
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Ma Chao agreed, but he didn't say much. In today's situation, it's better to "take a step, look at a step", otherwise, what else. Ma Chao has always known the difficulty of capturing Jiangling, but he has to take such a step, can he still bypass Jiangling to attack other places? That can only give Liu Bei a chance to breathe, after all, he is in Jiangling at this moment. And if you do this, you will become the laughing stock of the world.
So Ma Chao won't do that, there will always be difficulties, it's nothing more than a matter of size, if for various reasons, he won't lead troops to attack Jiangling, then it's not himself! โโ
Huo Jun's defense is like an iron bucket, saying that it is airtight, it may be an exaggeration, but it is indeed almost the same. After all, his ability is there, and there are so many soldiers, plus Jiangling is such a tall and fortified city, he is like a tiger with wings. If it is said that their Han army occupies so many 4ยค advantages, and they can't withstand several attacks by the Liangzhou army, then he, the general who defends the city, is too unworthy of his name, it is impossible.
So there were so many favorable conditions for him and the Han army. Now it is Ma Dai and the Liangzhou Army that do not have the advantage, but it is not them.
Ma Dai really didn't know the bottom in his heart. I don't know when I will be able to take this Gangneung. Don't say anything else. Just looking at such a tall city, it will take some time to climb up from the ladder car, not to mention that people may let you climb to the top of the city so lightly? This is not the first time he has dealt with Huo Jun, and he is indeed very clear that this Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao, who are guarding the city, are really something that only you can't imagine, but he can't do it without him.
It is said that in order to defend the city, he "did everything he could". Actually, it's not an exaggeration.
Huo Jun saw Ma Dai ascending the ladder and then coming towards the city, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shouted to the soldiers: "Quick, show the enemy general how powerful our army is!" โ
So Ma Dai was unlucky, although he was not hit by the rolling wooden stone, but he had to retreat. yes, if you don't come down, you should be hurt, if you hurt. With the character of his lord, the war after that will have nothing to do with himself. So of course Ma Dai knew in his heart that even if he died, he couldn't be injured! So it's better to jump straight down. You can't be hit by these bits and pieces. But he also had to admit that Huo Jun was so powerful, he hadn't taken two steps yet. was forced to retreat.
Ma Chao, who was watching the battle from behind, frowned slightly. said to Guo Jiayan next to him: "Fengxiao, this Jiangling has Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao such a general who guards the city." I don't know whether it should be said that it is the honor of our army or the misfortune of our army! โ
When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled bitterly, "Lord, everything has advantages and disadvantages, this so-called 'Sai Weng lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing'!" โโโ
Ma Chao also heard it, so after listening to Guo Jia's words, he nodded slightly. In fact, there are some things, indeed, that you think are good things, but they are not necessarily good things. But what you think is bad doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. Otherwise, how could there be such a saying, "If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing." Now that he has encountered Huo Jun again in Jiangling, and this city is taller and stronger than before, and there are even more people and horses.
You don't think it's a good thing, but it's not all, after all, only a strong opponent can make your own soldiers more progressive. Of course, not only his own soldiers, but also generals, such as Ma Dai, he is the same.
But if you want to say that this is a good thing, obviously this side is here in Gangneung, not to mention whether you can take the city, or when you can take this Gangneung. It can be said that in this battle, how many men and horses will be lost by one's own side, and how many casualties will be inflicted, it can be said that there are countless ones, which is definitely true. So really, what's that good thing? โโ
Ma Dai boarded the ladder car again, and this time he also gritted his teeth, and he must climb to the top of the city. But this matter is obviously not that simple, otherwise, this side would not be so difficult.
However, this time it was indeed better than the last time, and as a result, after Ma Dai dodged a few waves of rolling logs and stones, he was complacent, but he was almost hit by the stones thrown down by Huo Jun. So he was helpless and retreated again.
At this time, he said in his heart, is this fucking Huo Jun Huo Zhongmiao still human? is so powerful, the previous opponent was really not so powerful, and after he met this Huo Jun, he finally encountered it. So for Huo Jun's ability, even the hostile Ma Dai, he has to admire, after all, everyone's ability is there, isn't it.
If it weren't for him Huo Jun being so powerful, this side wouldn't be looking at Jiangling City and sighing, even if it was so difficult, he wouldn't feel where his chances of winning were. It is true that this city is indeed tall and strong, and there are more soldiers guarding the city than before, but more importantly, there is still such a guard, a military general, his name is Huo Jun! โโ
However, Ma Dai did not forget to shout to the soldiers who attacked the city gate underground: "Brothers, rush the car and hit the city gate for me, and hit the wood for me." Break the city gate, and the lord will be rewarded! โ
Ma Dai has pinned his hopes on the city gate. To be honest, if you really broke the Gangneung Gate directly. So even if you want to rush into Jiangling and meet the Han army in a short battle, how many generals under Liu Bei in the city are there. But even so, there are fewer casualties than this storming Gangneung, which is inevitable. Let's just say that people rely on the advantages of the city, the number of men and horses, and the ability of the guards, at least at this moment, at this time, they can suppress themselves, or they can suppress them. You can't break the game!
Therefore, even Ma Dai pinned his trust on the city gate, as long as he could break the city gate, this would definitely be the first major achievement. However, looking at the situation of other people's defense, the city gate is defended to death, and they don't give themselves a chance at all. At least in the short term, you won't have much to achieve, so if you count on the city gate, it's basically not much use. So even if Ma Dai didn't know it, he still had the psychology of luck. I'm going to shout --
Listening to Ma Dai's shouting, Huo Jun smiled slightly, and said in his heart, if the city gate was so light, it would be breached. I, Huo Jun, Huo Zhongmiao, don't have to mess around. It's not that he is arrogant and arrogant, let alone underestimating Ma Dai and the Liangzhou Army, it's really Ma Dai who is holding a fluke mentality. This is right, Huo Jun also knows it. But it's almost impossible. If it was really so light that the gate of Jiangling City was broken, then Huo Jun could go home and farm directly. Don't be a guard.
The soldiers who were responsible for attacking the city gate below used their strength to eat, but they still failed to shake the Jiangling city gate, which has to be said to be a big blow to them. After all, the defense in Jiangling City is too strong, and so many people have not been able to shake the city gate even a little bit. This is the same as dealing with the three rivers city of Nanban before, but the gate of the people is made of meteorite from outside the sky, and this Jiangling City is not.
But even if it's not, but the facts are in front of you, you have to take it over if you accept it, and you have to accept it if you don't accept it, that is, breaking through the gate of Gangneung City, but it is more difficult than climbing to the top of the city.
Huo Jun was very clear about this, so he smiled slightly, more precisely, he was laughing disdainfully, laughing at it. But he also knew that it was not good to be too flirtatious with Ma Dai at this time, otherwise, if the other party really broke out, he would not be easy to get along with himself.
Obviously, in his opinion, this Ma Dai has the possibility of going further, but it is still a little bit at this time. Huo Jun also had to admit that Ma Dai's skills were good, but compared to himself, he was a little worse. Of course, Ma Dai is the ability to siege the city, and he is the ability to defend the city, although this is adjacent, but it is not the same after all.
Ma Dai gritted his teeth and climbed the ladder, he naturally hoped to go up to the city, but there was indeed a gap between the facts and what he thought. This time it was higher than the previous two times, but Huo Jun directly asked the soldier to pour down the hot oil, and he had no choice but to retreat. For this hot oil, Ma Dai basically can't dodge, so the other party is so accurate, in the spirit of him, he has no choice, he can only pick up the ladder all the way-
Guo Jia said to his lord next to him: "Lord, the battle situation is not good for our army, so let's withdraw the troops as soon as possible!" โ
When Ma Chao heard it, this was exactly what he thought, so he said: "Fengxiao's words are the same as what I think, and it seems that it has to be like this!" Mingjin! โ
"No!" Even ordinary soldiers could hear the helplessness in their lord's mouth.
Indeed, Ma Chao is really helpless, and he knows better that to deal with Jiangling, he has to lead his men and horses to fight here. It can be said that this Gangneung is more difficult to conquer than all the cities he has encountered before. It should be said that there is no one that is the most difficult to capture, only the more difficult to capture!
In the past, in Ruoxian, the original war made me think that it was the most difficult, and I even had to go on it myself to break Zhang Ren's defense. Needless to say, there will be a few battles after that, but now that it has encountered Jiangling, it is still guarded by Huo Jun, which is several times more difficult than the county guarded by Zhang Ren at the beginning.
Yes, Ma Chao really won't be afraid of anything, but trouble this thing, of course, the less the better, isn't it.
Hearing his own Mingjin, Ma Dai sighed in his heart, and then led his troops to retreat. But he hasn't forgotten it, and put down a cruel word to Huo Jun at the head of the city, for him, if he doesn't say anything, wouldn't it be cowardly? Therefore, Ma Dai thinks that not only can he not admit it, but he also has to make his soldiers' waists straight. So he put down a cruel word to Huo Jun, which means don't look at your superiority, but he is not afraid of you!
After Huo Jun heard this, he sarcastically said to Ma Dai: "Ma Bozhan, what else can you do besides saying a few cruel words on your lips?" If you have the ability to attack, I, Huo Zhongmiao, will accompany you to the end! โ
This made Ma Dai angry, but he couldn't find anything to refute, did he really not listen to his lord's military orders, and then turn around and attack? That's impossible, so he can only shout: "Today's our army will be golden, and tomorrow we will fight again!" โ
Huo Jun smiled when he heard this, "If you can't ask for it, I'm afraid you won't come!" โโโ
Ma Dai snorted coldly, "Afraid of you?" Hum! We'll see! โ
After speaking, he didn't look back, and directly led the soldiers to retreat. For Ma Dai, he was afraid that when he saw Huo Jun and heard what he said, he couldn't help but scold him, so he hurriedly led his troops away. In the land of right and wrong, I still don't want to be here.
For him, it's the right thing to go back to rest quickly, and as for the rest, let's talk about it tomorrow. I don't believe in that evil, I can't break Jiangling in two days this day, but what about ten days and twenty days, can't I break it? If you really want to do that, it can only show that this Jiangling side really can't take it, and there is no way to do that.
But Ma Dai believes in himself, believes in his lord, and believes in himself, he should be able to do it, and Jiangling will still be in his pocket after all! (To be continued......)
