The sky is very clear, but for some reason, Liu Mao has a feeling of drowsiness for no reason, the surrounding soldiers are running in a panic to find their position, Sun De has not yet come, there is no command of the main general, so that the soldiers on the city wall do not know what to do next, the chaotic sound makes the city wall noisy, but Liu Mao is in this chaos, strangely feels an indescribable quiet.

The sounds around are clear, close at hand, yet as far away as a world away.

Goo~

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, Liu Mao didn't know why he suddenly felt this way, but there was a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart, as if he had pressed something, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The wriggling black line in the distance has gradually become clear at this moment, it is an army, a cavalry, black pressing, looking from the city wall, like a large dark cloud towards the side of Ma Cheng, the dense hoofs sound like a muffled thunder, and the chest of the listener is more and more annoyed.

"For ...... Why are there so many hoops here? Swallowing a mouthful of saliva again, Liu Mao turned her head stiffly and looked at the guards beside her.

"I don't know." A group of guards looked at each other with sad faces, looking at Liu Mao at a loss, one of the guards said in a low voice: "Childe, why don't we retreat first?"

"Withdraw?" Liu Mao hesitated, looked at the guards and said, "This city, can't you hold it?" ”

He doesn't know anything about military affairs, and his limited theories come from books, and standing on the city wall at the moment, he only feels that these Hu people are menacing and powerful, and he doesn't know how to be hostile.

"This ......" Several guards shook their heads helplessly, they were responsible for Liu Mao's safety, as for the war, they were not generals, how could they know this.

"At least, Childe can't continue to stay on this wall, it's too dangerous." One of the guards bowed.

On this city wall, any stray arrow can kill Liu Mao, and Liu Mao himself is not a military general, and he does not understand some of the necessary dodging and common sense on the battlefield, even if they are guarding the side, it is difficult to ensure Liu Mao's safety on the battlefield.

"See Childe." At this moment, Sun De appeared on the city wall in disheveled clothes, with a strong smell of wine on his body, and when he saw Liu Mao, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"Bastard!" Seeing Sun De's appearance, Liu Mao was angry and didn't fight anywhere, snatched the waist knife of his subordinates, and hit Sun De with the scabbard on his head and face, and scolded angrily: "My father must be really blind to believe you such a waste." ”

What is the elite in the army, look at Sun De's current performance, which one looks like an elite in the army?

Sun De was beaten painfully, but he didn't dare to resist, lowered his head, let Liu Mao beat and scold, and at the same time carefully glanced at the outside of the city wall, and at this look, he suddenly felt a tingle in his scalp.

At this time, he has already taken the Xianbei Iron Cavalry to a place less than two hundred steps away from the city wall, although he ignores the military, but after all, he once served in the Luoyang Army, and he still knows how to arrange troops, just such a rough look, he knows that the other party's people and horses this time are also above five thousand.

"Childe, don't fight yet." Grabbing the scabbard, Sun De couldn't care about any disrespect at the moment, and said in a hurry: "Childe, the enemy army is several times larger than our army, I'm afraid this horse city can't hold it, let's run away." ”

As the former military Sima of the Luoyang Army, in Sun De's eyes, this horse city will be lost if it is lost, and the most important thing is Liu Mao's safety, if something goes wrong with this one, then he will be finished.

Liu Mao couldn't help but stiffen when he heard this, and looked at Sun De in a daze: "Is it really impossible to hold on?" ”

Compared with Sun De, Liu Mao obviously knows the importance of Macheng, Ye Zhao has been operating here for two years, basically, the Hu people in the area of Danhan Mountain have been almost domesticated by Ye Zhao, as long as Macheng continues to develop according to Ye Zhao's plan, within ten years, far away dare not speak, this Danhan Mountain area is the grassland of Macheng, a steady stream of Hu people will be naturalized, and at the same time, there are a large number of cattle, sheep, war horses and other scarce resources in the Central Plains through here into the Han Dynasty, this is a great merit in Sheji, as long as it is successful, In the next few decades or even hundreds of years, the troubles in this Youzhou area will be curbed to a very low level.

If you give up Ma Cheng now, then this opportunity will also disappear with the fall of Ma Cheng, and most importantly, you will become the laughing stock of others, what is your face?

"I can't hold it!" Sun De said with a sad face: "Childe, look at these Hu people, there are 10,000 people, and my Macheng army is less than 2,000, how can I be hostile?" ”

In order to persuade Liu Mao to flee with him, he deliberately doubled the number of enemy troops he judged to be numerous.

When Liu Mao heard this, he turned his head and glanced at the Xianbei army that was gradually banned outside the city, and at a glance, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and his eyes were also dizzy.

There are 10,000 people, boundless and borderless, not to mention that these are still the elite people of the Xianbei royal court, and the momentum of 8,000 people is connected together and oppressed, not to mention Liu Mao, a literati who does not know the battle array, even if he is an ordinary soldier, he has not experienced the baptism of the battlefield, and he will be timid in the face of this kind of formation.

"Huh~"

There was a dense sound of breaking the air, but after He Lian opened his formation, he first came a wave of cavalry shooting at the head of the city, and eight thousand cold arrows rose into the air, converging into a dense rain of arrows in the air and falling down on the city wall after climbing to the highest point.

Liu Mao only felt that the air around him had become viscous, and when he looked up at the dense array of arrows in the sky, his body stiffened, and he couldn't even move.

"Protect Childe!" Sun De's heart-rending roar was heard in his ears, and several guards who followed Liu Mao quickly escorted Liu Mao, waving the weapons in their hands to help Liu Mao block the rain of arrows.

"Puff~"

The two guards widened their eyes, but their bodies were pierced by several arrows, and their eyes opened angrily, and they fell straight in front of Liu Mao.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Sun De roared like crazy, and at the same time took the opportunity to pull the pale-faced Liu Mao under the protection of the guards, and rushed to the city wall, and at the same time did not forget to shout: "Hurry up and let go of wolf smoke, let go of wolf smoke!" ”

On the city wall, the soldiers who did not know that the main general had left after hearing Sun De's order, their hearts were much calmer, and after panicking, they quickly opened their bows and arrows and launched a counterattack against the Xianbei people under the city wall.

The range of the bow and crossbow of the Han Dynasty was far better than the strong bow used by the Xianbei people, and with the condescending position, for a time, it also shot and killed many Xianbei knights who rushed to attack.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and after a while, the soldiers defending the city found that after their general gave an order, he disappeared, and one by one suddenly changed into chaos, and the rhythm of defense was also disrupted with the continuous attack of the Xianbei people.

On the battlefield, in fact, although there is an advantage in numbers, but it is not the main factor that determines the victory or defeat, the most important thing is the momentum of the competition, the generals who have experienced the real war know that on the battlefield, it is never allowed to retreat, you take a step back, the enemy's momentum will be stronger, and at the same time, their own psychology will also give birth to cowardice with this step, which is a taboo for soldiers.

But at this moment, Sun De, as the main general, is gone, no one to maintain the morale of the army, how can the soldiers defending the city think so much, this retreat, soon many people saw that no one was supervising, and directly began to run to the city.

These Yulin troops from Luoyang, although they are known as elite, but in fact they have not experienced the battle formation at all, and they are not as brave and fearless as the border army, this is because of the city wall, the enemy can not press up at once, if this situation occurs in the field, I am afraid that it will be the end of the whole army being wiped out all of a sudden.

Outside Macheng, He Lian, who commanded the battle, was stunned to find that not long after the war began, more and more battles rushed to the city, and the resistance on the walls of Macheng became weaker and weaker, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Don't look at Helian's lack of prestige, but as the son of Tanshi Huai, he has been on a lot of battlefields, and it is not the first time to fight with the Han army, but this time the cowardice of the Han army really puzzled him, the Han people are best at defending the city, and Helian has even made preparations for huge losses, but the result at this moment made him a little suspicious.

"Isn't it that these Han people want to use tricks and deliberately trick us into the city?" He Lian looked back suspiciously and said, this time the resistance of the Han people was too weak, before he came, he had been prepared for these 8,000 warriors to suffer huge losses, and at this moment the victory came too easily, but it made him a little unsure.

However, this time, Helian was obviously distracted, and a quarter of an hour later, the army had broken through the city gates, and the city walls were completely occupied by the Xianbei people.

"Sons, rush in with me, the wealth and women in Macheng are ours, and after entering the city, everyone can loot for three days!" Seeing that the city walls had been occupied, He Lian settled his mind, no matter what conspiracy he had planned, the city walls and city gates were in his hands, even if there was a conspiracy, he had a way out, and immediately pulled out his waist knife and roared.

"Roar~"

Like a wolf that smells blood, the Eight Thousand Xianbei warlords howled in a panic, roared and rode towards the gates that had been opened to them.

He Lian walked at the end with his own guards, and it was not until the last soldier rushed into the city gate that he did not notice anything unusual, and then he brought his men into the city.
