When the Chang'an army appeared outside the city, the people in the city were panicked, and the family was even more uneasy, because the enemy they faced this time was Lu Bu, and the situation of the family in Hechi City soon spread, which made them very anxious, and now they can only pin all their hopes on Ma Chao's body, and only by guarding the lower division, the interests in their hands will be preserved.

Ma Chao was extremely satisfied with the performance of the family, as early as before the army in Chang'an was dispatched, Ma Chao had a good response, and at this time, the grain and grass in the city were enough for the army for a year.

In terms of attitude towards the family, Ma Chao is extremely generous, the same way, the Ma family is not a weak family in Liangzhou, the same family, will know more about the interests of things, what the family needs, Ma Chao is very clear, and now he only needs to firmly stabilize these families in his camp, and it is not difficult to resist the attack of the Chang'an army.

One after another thunderbolt cars were erected outside the city, and what shocked Ma Chao even more was that there were thunderbolts in the Chang'an army that were three times larger than ordinary thunderbolts, and the number of soldiers who controlled this kind of thunderbolt vehicles reached fifty.

Suddenly, Ma Chao thought that when the princes attacked Bingzhou, there had been a thunderbolt in Huguan that could reach 400 paces in range that was difficult to reach ordinary thunderbolts, but at that time, the princes' coalition army had not seen this kind of thunderbolt in Huguan, and under careful investigation, they learned some of the situation in Huguan.

Undoubtedly, the Thunderbolt outside the city is the kind of thing that far surpasses the average Thunderbolt in terms of range.

If you have never seen such a thunderbolt with your own eyes, you will never be able to appreciate what it will be like to be attacked by such a thunderbolt.

In the process of the army erecting the thunderbolt cart, the flying horse and the sun bow rode aside to protect the safety of the soldiers, most of the thunderbolt was made of wood, and the cavalry under the command of Ma Chao was not weak, and the slightest negligence could bring huge damage to the thunderbolt.

"Order the soldiers in the city to be on guard, and leave the rest of the soldiers hidden except for the necessary ones." Looking at the busy enemy troops outside the city, Ma Chao ordered.

If you can't suppress the enemy on the thunderbolt, it's better to hide directly, Lu Bu wants to break through the lower division, what must be done is to attack the city wall, only after the city wall is broken, they can occupy the lower division, and when the enemy army attacks the city, the thunderbolt will not be able to take advantage of it, and then the opportunity for the defenders has arrived.

However, before that, he had to test it, after all, his own Thunderbolt can reach 300 paces in range, and with the advantage of the city wall, the range of the enemy's Thunderbolt is not much different, and the Thunderbolt attack will be of greater help to the defenders if they gain an advantage.

With Hao Meng's order, the ordinary thunderbolt threw boulders towards the city wall.

The thunderbolt car on the city also launched a counterattack, but the boulder thrown by the thunderbolt car on the city is not ideal, and the thunderbolt outside the city is almost the same as the defender's thunderbolt in range, after all, there is still a gap, and the state army has a thunderbolt for a long time, and it is unique in the use of the thunderbolt.

Even so, several boulders smashed into the thunderbolt team outside the city, and although the two soldiers tried their best to dodge, one of them was directly killed, and the other soldier was wounded in the leg.

The thunderbolt cars on both sides come and go, the defenders have the advantage of the city, but the soldiers who control the thunderbolt are killed and wounded a lot, under Ma Chao's strict orders, they dare not have the slightest retreat, they can only support hard, and the ordinary defenders are much happier, they only need to do their best to hide themselves, occasionally there are unlucky soldiers, injured after the boulder hits the arrow battlement, and the thunderbolt rider is much safer.

After half an hour of attack by the Thunderbolt Car, Ma Chao's brows were furrowed, judging from the Thunderbolt Car's hand, his side was in a weak position, although the advantage of the city wall brought greater security to the safety of the defenders, if this situation continued, the defenders would be completely suppressed by the enemy, this situation was not what Ma Chao wanted to see.

At this moment, the craftsmen behind the ordinary thunderbolt outside the city finally set up the giant thunderbolt.

Hao Meng showed a cruel smile on his face, the giant thunderbolt is definitely a nightmare for the defenders, the stones thrown by the giant thunderbolt are twice as large as the ordinary thunderbolt, and the destructive power brought is extremely terrifying.

"Put!" Hao Meng shouted.

After a creaking sound, the conductor in charge of the thunderbolt next to the giant thunderbolt gave a loud shout, and the boulder rose into the air and headed for the distant city wall.

Thirty giant thunderbolts are more shocking than one hundred ordinary thunderbolts, and the effect is even more obvious.

More boulders fell into the city.

Being able to throw a boulder into the city at a distance of 300 paces can be imagined as a vibration on the city walls.

After a round of the giant thunderbolts, they began to adjust their positions, aiming at the defenders of the city, and if possible, smashing down the walls would have a better effect.

Pang Tong was also surprised to see this kind of scene for the first time, once such equipment appeared on the battlefield, the advantage of the defenders would be greatly weakened, and the Bingzhou army had obviously achieved the ultimate in this regard, and the thunderbolt that could reach a range of 500 steps was absolutely incredible.

When the giant thunderbolt was adjusted, the defenders of the city were the first to bear the brunt, and the female wall did not provide them with better protection under the boulders.

Feeling the city wall under his feet trembling under the attack of the boulder, Ma Chao's face was as low as water, if the enemy only had an ordinary thunderbolt, he would not be afraid, from the initial thunderbolt between the two sides could be seen, but under this kind of giant thunderbolt, it can only cause greater turmoil in the city, and he has even seen what kind of offensive the defenders will face when the enemy adjusts the giant thunderbolt.

For a large army, high or low morale has a great impact on combat effectiveness.

"General, the enemy's thunderbolt is too fierce, let's go down to the city." A general stepped forward to persuade.

Ma Chao nodded, he needs to respond according to the situation in front of him, otherwise, the person who will fail in the end must be him, what is the face of the family, Ma Chao is very clear, for the sake of interests unscrupulous means, when they can't see hope from the defenders, it is very likely that what they do is to surrender to the enemy army outside the city.
