"Big territory doesn't mean strong strength." Ma Teng smiled: "Do you remember Eastern Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei?" At that time, Yuan Xi was just a Youzhou, didn't he defeat them in a row? ”

"That's what my father said."

Ma Teng's expression was firm, and he said, "With food, you can fight for a long time." My Xiliang Army will break Chang'an! If possible, march to Tongguan and Hangu Pass again to conquer Luoyang! At that time, Cao Cao's general trend will go, and the Han family will be prosperous. ”

Ma Chao said: "I just don't know if Yuan Xi is willing to fund our grain and grass all the time, this is not a small amount." ”

"We'll talk about it then. Now even Chang'an has not been taken. Ma Teng was already thinking in his heart, how to fool Yuan Xi into taking out money and food to attack Luoyang for him.

But he didn't know that Yuan Xi was looking forward to him attacking Luoyang.

As long as Ma Teng is willing, no matter how much money and food he gives, he will not frown.

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

After the food was delivered, he wanted to reward the three armies.

However, Ma Teng and Han Sui said that after conquering Chang'an, it would not be too late to reward the three armies.

Yuan Xi readily agreed.

Early morning.

The fog has not dispersed, and the heavens and the earth are full of pus.

Yuan Xi, Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc., led an army of 100,000 and approached Chang'an.

Standing under Chang'an City, seeing the tallness and majesty of Chang'an City, Yuan Xi sighed: "It is worthy of Chang'an, the western capital, which is not only tall and strong, but also swallows mountains and rivers, which is far more solemn and grand than my Yecheng." ”

"This is our second time in Chang'an. The last time the city was not captured, it was because of the lack of food and grass in the army. This time, with General Yuan Xi funding grain and grass, I believe that he will be able to make contributions soon. Han Sui said.

Rattle...

At this time, a big bird appeared in the sky, swooped down, and said to Yuan Xi: "Master, Cao Cao's army has already left Wuguan, and it is still three hundred miles away from Chang'an. With that, it soared into the sky.

"It's... Can this bird talk? ”

The Xiliang soldiers in the front row were all shocked.

Yuan Xi was already accustomed to it, and said: "General Ma Teng, Cao Cao is still three hundred miles away from Chang'an. It is expected to arrive tomorrow evening. We must take Chang'an before this. ”

"Hmm."

Ma Teng is also in the same mind.

He said to the general under his command, Pang De: "General Pang, attack the city immediately!" ”

"Yes."

Pang De is Ma Chao's general, but he also belongs to Ma Teng. After receiving the order, he drove his horse and ran to the military formation in the distance: "The general has an order, immediately attack the city!" Kill! ”

Knock knock...

Roar! Roar!

The war drums sounded, and the Xiliang soldiers rushed to the city tower together.

All the siege equipment was laid out.

The catapult stopped three hundred paces from the city wall and threw stones incessantly.

The pontoon bridge is built on the moat.

The siege tower covered the march of the army and soon reached the city wall.

"Rush up, rush up..." Pound shouted under the city.

The soldiers of Xiliang did not know how to attack the city, nor did they know the skills of attacking the city, so they relied on ruthlessness.

Under Pound's urging, a swarm of people rushed forward.

"General Yuan, do you think our Xiliang soldiers are okay?" Ma Teng saw the soldiers using their lives and viciously attacking the city, and felt that he had a lot of face.

"Okay, okay... The courage of the Xiliang soldiers, I have heard of it for a long time, and when I saw it today, it is worthy of its name. Yuan Xi was polite, but he was actually thinking in his heart: "If they all attack the city like this, how many people will die?" When will we be able to conquer Chang'an? ”

Yan Liang came from behind, looked ahead, really couldn't stand it, and arched his hand towards Yuan Xi and said, "Lord, do you need me to transfer 10,000 elites to attack Chang'an!" ”

"You don't have to..."

Yuan Xi approached Yan Liang and said in a low voice: "We can't give money and food again, and people again, right?" So what do you want Xiliang Army to do? ”

"But their siege skills are too poor, and they must have suffered heavy casualties." Yan Liang also said in a low voice.

"Although I won't attack the city, the Xiliang soldiers are all moving forward bravely, and I believe that Chang'an will be conquered sooner or later." Yuan Xi looked ahead for a while and suggested, "General Ma Teng, the enemy soldiers on the city tower are all sending arrows down the city. Although our ballistas and catapults can suppress them, after all, there are too many enemy soldiers to achieve the best results. I have heard that the Xiliang army is good at shooting, why not transfer 3,000 archers and 3,000 shield soldiers, stand on the west bank of the moat, and release arrows towards the city tower, which can not only suppress the enemy army, but also let us see the magic shooting of the Xiliang army. ”

Hey?

Yuan Xi's suggestion made Ma Teng's eyes light up.

"What a plan!"

Ma Teng was overjoyed: "Meng Qi, go and prepare!" ”

"Yes."

Ma Chao beat the horse and left.

Soon three thousand archers and three thousand shield soldiers were ready. Under the cover of shield soldiers, the archers fired arrows into the castle tower to completely suppress the enemy's firepower.

Yuan Xi saw with his own eyes that the archery skills of the Xiliang Army were really speechless. Almost all of them hit the enemy soldiers. Many of them hid behind the wall, unable to escape the fate of being shot.

In just half an hour, the Xiliang army seized the initiative.

"What a rare elite. If there is such an elite help, why worry about big things? Yuan Xi secretly thought in his heart. It's a pity that this elite is Ma Teng's, and it is only a temporary cooperation to meet Cao Jun.

If possible, he really wanted to surrender the Xiliang army.

"General, general..." On the upper floor of Chang'an City, a scout reported to Cao Ren: "A letter from the prime minister, let you stick to Chang'an." After tomorrow evening, the prime minister's army will surely come. ”

"Got it..."

Cao Ren picked up the letter and said with some worry: "The enemy army is strong, and I have no soldiers in Chang'an, how can I hold it?" ”

"Why doesn't the general ambush his troops in the city and kill the enemy when they enter the city?" Cao Ren's lieutenant general offered advice.

"No, I can't. There are too many enemy forces, and even if they set up an ambush, it is impossible to win. Cao Ren rejected his plan and said, "I will go and send a letter back to the prime minister, you must hold on to the city." ”

"Yes."

Cao Ren entered the cave and replied to Cao Cao.

At this time, Yuan Xi left the military formation and went to the rear to gather the giant beasts.

After several hours of attack, a large amount of fire oil in Chang'an City has been consumed. The enemy's crossbows and slings are becoming less and less, and when will the giant beasts not fight?

"Listen, all of you, and wait until you rush out of the tower. The python circled into the city to meet the enemy army. Mammoths, Tyrannosaurus rexes, and monitor lizards stand by the banks of the moat. When the gates are opened, rush into the city... ”

Yuan Xi commanded the giant beasts.

Whew...

Chirping!

Heehi...

The behemoths nodded their heads.

"Kill..." With a wave of Yuan Xi's long sword, all the giant beasts rushed towards the battlefield.

At this moment, Ma Teng, Han Sui and the others clearly felt that the ground was trembling, and the sound of beast roar came. They looked back and looked shocked: "Father, look, it's Yuan Xi's giant beast here..." Ma Tie shouted.

"See." Ma Teng looked expectant.

Behemoth siege, what will be the effect?

Hiss...

The Titan Python crawled the fastest, and before Ma Teng could react, he had already rushed to the moat, raised his front body, and rose above the tower. The soldiers stationed in the city saw the giant python roaring at them, and they retreated one after another.
