Chapter 736: The Liangzhou Army Fights Xindu Again
A day later, the Liangzhou army attacked Xindu again, but there was no accident, and it still failed to shake the Xindu that Li Dian guarded.
In Ma Chao's Chinese army tent, "Everyone, Li Dian Li Mancheng of the Yanzhou Army is indeed not comparable to ordinary guards, I don't know what you think?" β
Although Ma Chao asked how he asked, he really didn't expect anything, it was nothing more than according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, he had to ask like this, and then everyone didn't have anything to say, or he went all out to attack Xindu.
However, it is obvious that there is indeed a discrepancy between what Ma Chao thinks and the facts, and at this time, I heard Guo Jia say: "Lord, here in Jizhou, Jia remembered something. I heard that the lord had infiltrated the Guangzong City of Julu, I wonder if there is such a thing? β
Guo Jiake had heard that his lord had infiltrated Guangzong City, where hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans were stationed back then. Although Guangzong is not a strong city in the world, it is not as strong as Yecheng. But back then, the Yellow Turban could be used as a base in turn, and it can be said that its city was definitely not comparable to an ordinary city. Whether it's the strength of the city's defense or the height of the city walls, it's one of the best-
Ma Chao didn't think much about it at this time, but since Guo Jia asked about it, it must be related to the breaking of the city, could it be ......
He really thought of a possibility, and then said: "What Feng Xiao said is right, I think back then, I did sneak into Guangzong City, and now more than ten years have passed!" β
For Ma Chao, although more than ten years have passed since the events of that year, not to mention that he has a very bad memory, even if his memory is poor. He will not forget the fact that he infiltrated Guangzong back then. After all, this is one of the rare ones, and it's time to go out yourself.
And Guo Jia nodded after hearing this, in his opinion, although his lord had never told him about it, it would definitely not be fake. After all, his lord can personally lead troops to attack the city, so what is it to sneak into the city.
"Could you please tell me more about the events of that year?"
Ma Chao smiled, although it was "a good man doesn't mention the courage of the year", but sneaking into Guangzong City back then can be regarded as a thing that he was more proud of, and he also saw what Guo Jia meant. So it's nothing to talk about.
"At the beginning, the army of the imperial court surrounded the city of Guangzong of Julu, and I ......"
Ma Chao told everyone about what happened before and after he infiltrated Guangzong, and when everyone heard it, they all knew that there was such a thing. After all, almost all of you joined later. Except for Wei Ping, a person who has known the Tao for a long time, it is the first time for others to hear their lord talk about what happened in Guangzong City back then-
After listening to what his lord said. Guo Jia asked, "I don't know the equipment used by the lord to infiltrate Guangzong in the first place. Where is it now? β
Ma Chaoxin said, sure enough, you Guo Fengxiao is going to fight the idea of flying and arresting. I really don't know if this thing was in the Han Dynasty, but in the army, I see if I used it anyway. But I don't know where I put that thing, it's really old.
Ma Chao shook his head. "I don't know where I threw it, but if I make it now, I can still make it. Looking at the meaning of Fengxiao, is it to be? β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "I know that I can't hide it from my lord." In fact, the meaning of Jia is very simple. Back then, the lord was able to sneak into Guangzong City, so now our army naturally doesn't have to, so just climb to the top of Xindu City. As long as our army ......"
Guo Jia said his thoughts, and Ma Chao nodded. Not to mention, Guo Jia really makes sense. After all, this has not been used by the other party, so the first time it is used, the other party should not have so much defense, so maybe it can really be done. Anyway, to do such a thing, the most important thing is nothing more than success or failure, just the probability. In Ma Chao's view, the probability of success is still higher, so there is more than fifty percent certainty, why not do it? ββ
But in this regard, Ma Chao still didn't make a decision directly, so he said at this time: "What Feng Xiao said before, I don't know what you think?" β
Everyone can be regarded as seeing their lord's thoughts, in fact, in their opinion, what Mr. Fengxiao said is indeed not impossible to try. If you do it, it means that there is hope, but if you don't do it, then what hope is there? Actually, come to think of it, that's it.
Therefore, everyone echoed their lordship, and none of them spoke out against it, after all, it is indeed difficult to break through the Xindu defended by Li Dian of the Yanzhou Army. So I really need a miracle like Guo Jia, maybe I can really make a contribution in this way. Even if it fails, it is nothing more than a loss. Then the siege of the city, the losses are not greater.
"Well, since you don't have any other opinions, let's do so. Bozhan, Bodao, Fengxiao, and Ziyang will go with me, and the others will disperse first! β
"No!" Everyone agreed in unisonβ
After the others left, Ma Chao and the five of them were left in the big tent, and Ma Chao smiled at the four of them: "Okay, let's go and build a flying catch!" β
The reason why Ma Chao left these four people was to take them with him to find the craftsmen in the army to build the flying catch. Of course, more importantly, he has a lot to say to these four people.
Needless to say, Ma Dai is the main general in charge of the siege, so he must be one of them, and he has to rely on him to climb to the top of the city and take his soldiers to deal with Li Dian and the Yanzhou army at the head of the city.
As for Hao Zhao, he is a general of defense after all, so Ma Chao also wants to ask him how he should make a contribution to this flying catch. The main thing is that after using it, it will not be discovered by the enemy, or it will be finished. So it's just right to ask Hao Zhao.
Guo Jia is the one who came up with the idea. Therefore, Ma Chao has to talk to him about how to implement it in the end, so that he can succeed.
The most relatable, Liu Ye, is more proficient in ordnance manufacturing, so Ma Chao took him with him-
Ma Chao took a few people to find the craftsmen in the Liangzhou army, and then told them what he wanted to build. This flying grab is not a difficult thing, so the craftsmen are patting their chests to ensure that in two days, twenty pairs will definitely be completed.
After that, Ma Chao left Liu Ye, who was in charge of supervising the work. And the three of them chatted while walking, and returned to the big tent. Ma Chao and the three of them talked about one thing, that is, how to attack as well, and the last four of them reached an agreement and decided to do it at night after building the flying catch. When the time comes, we will definitely be able to break the letter capital. He Li Dian is good, but he is like this. He may not be able to hold it.
Two days. The Liangzhou army has ceased fighting. Although Li Dian didn't know what Lu Dao Ma Chao's specific plans were, he could also feel that the Liangzhou Army must be calculating him. But are you afraid of this, don't be afraid, or, "The soldiers are coming." The water comes to cover the earth", what trick does he want to use in the Liangzhou army, then even if he lets the horse come, what is he afraid of. But even so. Li Dian still asked the Yanzhou sergeant to guard the city carefully, and he must not be slack-
Two days later, on the evening of this day, the twenty pairs of flying catches created by the craftsmen in the Liangzhou Army were already in the hands of Ma Chao.
And Ma Chao and Ma Dai also selected nineteen soldiers among the 70,000 Liangzhou troops as the men and horses of this raid. To be honest, Ma Chao also wants to let many people go, but this is obviously impossible. Back then, I thought I was good, but I sneaked into Guangzong alone, and to be honest, it almost made people find out. Of course, now their own soldiers have different purposes than their own, but they are all about to climb the city, and this one is the same. So when you go to the city, it's good not to be discovered.
In this case, there must not be more people, plus Ma Dai's twenty people, Ma Chao feels that there are a lot, because the more people, the more likely they are to be exposed, and it is very easy to attract the attention of the other party. And Ma Chao not only cares about the life and death of his subordinates, he cares more about whether he can take Xindu. Therefore, after the last few people discussed, they sent 20 people, which was actually just right.
And the nineteen people selected by Ma Chao and Ma Dai are all the most powerful, and they are agile and adaptable. Therefore, among the 70,000 Liangzhou troops, nineteen of them stood out and were selected by Ma Chao and Ma Dai. It can be said that whether or not they can break the letter capital is actually on them-
At night, it should be said that it was just after the ugly hour of the next day, Ma Dai quietly sneaked into the two sides of Xindu City with nineteen soldiers, and there were ten people on each side, and they were ready to go up from here. You can't go up from the front, so you can't wait for someone to find out, you have to do it secretly.
At this time, in the Liangzhou army camp, Ma Chao was also ready to set off, after all, it was not Ma Dai and the twenty of them who were fighting, they had to have their own army, or they had to rely on twenty people, so could they take Xindu, it was impossible to joke.
At this time, the twenty people were already climbing the city walls on both sides of Xindu, which was also after they confirmed that the Yanzhou soldiers had not noticed, so they dared to do so. If it is not really exposed, it will only be a retreat. And it's too dangerous, even more dangerous than climbing a ladder. After all, the ladder target is not small, and you may catch it if you fall. But this flying grab, just such a rope, if it really destroys the Yanzhou sergeant, you can only fall, and you will be seriously injured if you don't die-
In fact, at this time, many of the Yanzhou soldiers guarding the head of Xindu City can be said to be relatively lax.
The Liangzhou army has been in a row for more than two consecutive days, and there has been no movement. In the eyes of most Yanzhou soldiers, this is a manifestation of the Liangzhou army's instigation. Because they knew that they couldn't take the capital of Xindu, they stopped fighting and found a way. On the first day before, it was not bad, at least under the advice of the main general Li Dian, the Yanzhou soldiers and soldiers were taken seriously. But on the second day, it wasn't as good as the first day. In their opinion, the Liangzhou army didn't come last night, so can they still come today?
It's a pity that things didn't happen to them. The Liangzhou army not only came up with a way to break the city, but the army was about to attack it, but the Yanzhou army was still relaxing here.
At this time, Ma Chao had already led the troops to attack, and when the Yanzhou soldiers picked up their weapons to resist, from both sides of the city wall, there were already twenty soldiers of the Liangzhou army. Even if there is no Ma Chao's army coming, they should have found out, after all, if so many people can't be found again, then the Yanzhou sergeant will have a lot of rice buckets. It's definitely impossible for everyone to be as capable as Ma Chao, and not all defensive soldiers are as careless as the Yellow Turban soldiers-
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"The Liangzhou army is attacking the city!"
"Quick, hold!"
β¦β¦
There was a shout from the Yanzhou sergeant at the head of the city, and Ma Chaozhi said that the city would be broken tonight, and it was "the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again". He shouted, "Brothers, rush to break the city tonight, give me the siege!" β
The Liangzhou soldiers ran directly to Xindu, although Ma Dai was not in the city, but it did not affect the morale of the Liangzhou soldiers, but their morale also increased a lot, after all, they all knew that Ma Dai was now killing the enemy on the top of the city.
Many Yanzhou sergeants and soldiers still wondered, why did the Liangzhou sergeants come up from both sides of the city wall first today? And when they fought, they found that these dozen Liangzhou sergeants were too powerful. He was surrounded by many people, and killed many of his own soldiers. It's not like one is ten, but it's pretty much the same.
When almost all the soldiers who attacked from both sides of the city were killed, the soldiers of the Yanzhou army found that the soldiers of Liangzhou had already climbed the city, and there were more and more of them.
And Li Dian came quite in time, but as soon as he came, he was stopped by Ma Dai, and the two of them fought together at once-
In fact, this surprise attack was quite successful, at least the twenty people, although there were only a few Ma Dai left, but the effect was obvious. Although they did not kill at the head of the city, they even opened the city gates. However, they gave a lot of encouragement to the Liangzhou soldiers under the city, which improved their morale, and they knew that someone from their side was already in the city first, and even their own main general was there. Therefore, before Li Dian came, many of the Liangzhou soldiers climbed to the head of the Xindu City.
Even if Li Dian came in time later, he was still blocked by Ma Dai, and he couldn't command the battle, so he could only watch more and more Liangzhou soldiers ascend to the head of Xindu. (To be continued......)
