Pang De didn't expect that Huo Jun in this Langzhong would send someone out to fight Ma Chao alone, this is simply a toilet lantern - looking for death! According to normal speculation, Huo Jun would stay in the city and not come out, but Xing Daorong's accident made Pang De a little contemptuous of Huo Jun in Langzhong.

"It seems that this Huo Jun is indeed a little blind and arrogant, if it is judged according to the current judgment, this Langzhong can be captured in three days at most!"

Hearing Pang De's words, Ma Chao couldn't help but laugh again, "Ling Ming is still so conservative!" According to this situation, my Xiliang army can capture Langzhong in one day! Tell the order to go down, let the army rest for a day, and start tomorrow to attack the city with all its might! ”

The next day, Ma Chao took Pang De, Long and two generals with an army of 10,000 and began to attack Langzhong.

"Drop! Detected Ma Chao skill Tiger trigger, Force +3, Command +3, Dragoon Tip and Sha Lifei Force +1, the current Ma Chao Force increased to 106, Command Rate increased to 95."

"Drop! Huo Jun's skill is detected to be triggered, force +2, command +2, intelligence +2, the current Huo Jun's strength is increased to 91, the command rate is increased to 94, and the intelligence is increased to 85."

When attacking the city, Ma Chao's 5,000 Xiliang cavalry was useless, but he had an army of 10,000, and he believed that the soldiers in the city, seeing such a formation, must be too scared to resist!

As Long and Pang De led the army to attack Langzhong, Huo Jun in the city began to command the soldiers to release arrows, although there were only a thousand archers, but from the time the Xiliang army came to the city, this bow and arrow also released a few rounds.

At this time, the Xiliang army had already begun to rush to the edge of the city wall, set up a ladder, and began to forcibly attack the city. The Ban Barbarian Army on the city wall was also under the command of Huo Jun, and began to frantically throw the rolling stones and sassal wood that had been prepared to the city, and for a while, the Xiliang army under the city was smashed by the stones and wood falling from the sky. But with Long and Pang De personally supervising the siege of the city, no one dared to retreat.

As the battle progressed, Ma Chao's face became more and more ugly, and the soldiers in Langzhong didn't seem to know the slightest fear at this time, and the city was well guarded, although there were casualties, but it was obvious that the Xiliang army suffered many casualties. Huo Jun boosted the morale of the army from time to time, as if his words had magical power, and could always make these thousands of soldiers high-spirited.

The siege lasted for two or three hours, even though Long and Pang De personally led and climbed the ladder, but in the end no one could climb the wall, and finally Ma Chao temporarily withdrew his troops under Pang De's persuasion.

Ma Chao returned to the camp with the soldiers, and the 10,000 army was injured by at least 3,000 people, which made Ma Chao feel very bad, and Pang De also knew that this time Ma Chao was hit, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Shizi, this Huo Jun is by no means an idle person!" The damage of the attack is too great, why don't you think of a plan to break the enemy first, and then try to break the city? ”

"What more strategies do you need! If we continue to attack the city tomorrow, I don't believe that one Huo Jun, relying on thousands of recruits, can still stop my Xiliang army! ”

Pang De didn't have any good plans at this time, and he couldn't refute Ma Chao's words, so he had to listen to him.

And Huo Jun in Langzhong, at this time, also felt that the situation was not good, he immediately sent soldiers to the nearest Zhuge Liang army to ask for support, as for Qi Jiguang, I don't know where he has arrived yet, besides, Qi Jiguang and Zhou Yu's army who set off from the waterway, if they want them to come back, it is almost impossible.

But even if the Wushuang Army can come back to support, it will take at least two months to go back and forth, and Huo Jun is ready to defend Langzhong.

For several days in a row, Ma Chao continued to maintain the offensive of the same intensity, but the result was no different from before, the Xiliang army could not climb the city wall of Langzhong at all, and the casualties of the army continued to increase, which made Ma Chao's heart almost collapse. At first, it was said that it would be captured in one day, but now it has been five days, but it has not been able to help Huo Jun for half a point.

The continuous attack not only made the soldiers in the city tired, but the Xiliang soldiers and horses also suffered heavy losses, and the morale was even more sluggish.

In the following month, Ma Chao tried to attack by various means again, but the city that Huo Jun defended seemed to be impregnable, Ma Chao was not very good at attacking the city, but he met a person who was good at defending the city, and his Xiliang cavalry could not play a role. These made Ma Chao bitter and unspeakable, and Pang De finally asked Ma Chao to go to Xiliang for help, but Ma Chao's personality made him unwilling to admit defeat at this time. The confrontation between the two sides continued, and at this time, Qin Zhao of Guangyuan County finally received a letter from Huo Jun asking for help.

When Qin Zhao heard that Langzhong was attacked, he was very nervous and handed the letter to Zhuge Liang, and he was already preparing to send troops and prepare to divide his troops to Langzhong for reinforcements.

"General Qin, slow down!"

In the council hall, Zhuge Liang hurriedly stopped Qin Zhao's order to transfer troops.

"Saving people is like fighting fire, and now General Huo is in danger in Langzhong, and he can't drag it out any longer!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "General Qin thought that this was a letter asking for help, but the strategy of breaking through Baishui Pass should be on this letter." ”

"Drop! Detected Zhuge Liang's skill is triggered, intelligence +4, and the current Zhuge Liang's intelligence is increased to 107."

Qin Zhao looked puzzled, at this time Zhuge Liang came to Qin Zhao's side and told Qin Zhao about his plan in her ear, but Qin Zhao asked rhetorically: "What about General Huo and Langzhong?" If Langzhong is lost and Bajun is captured by Ma Teng, then there will be no way for me to retreat in the future! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I know that General Huo is very good at defending the city, and the Xiliang army is led by Ma Chao, if Ma Chao is the commander of the Xiliang cavalry, he has few opponents; But letting him go to the siege is not the most suitable person. Among the generals of Xiliang, Gao Xianzhi and Wei Ran are good at attacking cities, but Ma Chao is not good. Besides, from another point of view, if Ma Chao is really a large army pressing the border, General Huo can't hold it, but from General Huo's request for help to our army rushing back, it will take at least two months, General Qin thinks that General Huo can hold out for two months? Instead of going back now, it is better to look for an opportunity to take the Baishui Pass,"

Although Qin Zhao was still a little skeptical at this time, Zhuge Liang's strategic talent made her choose to support Zhuge Liang without hesitation.

"In that case, let's start preparing now! Is there anything else Kong Ming would like to add? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "General, don't worry! For the generals, they not only know how to arrange troops and plan more than once, but also know astronomy and geography! Let's take a look at the weather in recent days and then talk about the plan! ”
