Chapter 1198: City Break (II)

Without hearing the sound of gold, the soldiers of the Chang'an army were still launching rounds of attacks on the east of the city, while the well in the Chang'an army was close to the city wall, and the archers above the well were constantly shooting the defenders of the city in the light of the fire.

Ma Chao replaced the spear in his hand with a bow and arrow, and shot three archers from the well with three arrows in succession.

"Order the generals of all departments to meet the enemy with their hearts, if they dare to retreat, they will be killed!" The fierceness of the Chang'an army's attack made Ma Chao extremely uneasy.

The Chang'an army in the city gradually became at a disadvantage after Ma Chao led the army to support, although they stubbornly defended the mouth of the ladder, they suffered heavy casualties, which is also an inevitable situation in siege warfare.

"My lord, now that the defenders in the city are shaking, it is the right time to seize it in one fell swoop." Pang Tong showed excitement, the soldiers besieging the city only made the army in the city shake to the greatest extent, but the real killer was the flying eagle soldiers lurking in the city.

Many families naturally moved after getting the news that day, if the war is unfavorable, Ma Chaoda can lead the cavalry to leave, and the family in the city must be unlucky after resisting, the Zhang family and the Li family have benefited from Ma Chao's body, it does not mean that all the families agree with Ma Chao, and the defenders in the city suppressed by the Chang'an army outside the city have no respite, which makes many families' minds lively.

The Zhang family and the Li family have been dominant in Wudu for many years, which has damaged the interests of many families, and there are naturally not a few enemies set up in secret, and if they can help the Chang'an army seize the city, they are meritorious officials, although the family under the rule of Lu Bu enjoys not very good treatment, the words on the paper still play a great role.

Lu Bu nodded slightly after listening to Pang Tong's words, and the number of people lurking in the city of the Flying Eagle Soldiers reached hundreds, and this kind of power could definitely give Ma Chao a fatal blow at a critical moment.

"Tell Tai Shi Ci to get ready, once the city gate in the west of the city is opened, immediately lead the cavalry into the city and crush the defenders in the city as quickly as possible." Lu Bu ordered.

"The lord's move will definitely be able to seize the subordinates, and the Zhang family and the Li family will probably be disappointed." There was also a smile on his face.

"The Zhang family and the Li family don't know the current affairs, and after Benhou enters the city, he will use the people of the two families to comfort the dead soldiers." Lu Bu said coldly.

Frustrated with a jump in his heart, he immediately understood Lu Bu's intentions, the two families in Wudu can be said to be deep-rooted, for the policy of merging states in the city, it is not a small resistance, the two support Ma Chao, after occupying the city, the two will be eradicated, no one can find fault, so that after the other families see the tragic situation of the two families, they naturally dare not make any changes.

"The lord is wise." Pang Tong arched his hand.

"When did Shi Yuan also learn to be flattering," Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"Master Liu, it's almost time, and you can let the people of the Liu family do it." Zhao Shu glanced at Liu Tong on the other side and said slowly.

Liu Tong is the head of the Liu family, is the most powerful family in Wudu in addition to the Zhang family and the Li family, after Zhao Shu entered the city to inquire about the news, but focused on the Liu family, in the turmoil in the city, the Liu family suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the Zhang family and the Li family, and even Liu Tong's second son was killed by the two of them, which made Liu Tong naturally very hostile to the two families, it happened that at such a time, Zhao Shu secretly contacted Liu Tong, and after listening to Zhao Shu's persuasion, the Liu family decided to take refuge in Lu Bu.

"I also hope that after the army enters the city, Commander Zhao will be able to speak a lot for the Liu family in front of the Marquis of Jin, and avenge the old man's dead son." A glint of hatred flashed in Liu Tong's eyes.

"Although the head of the Liu family can rest assured, after the Chang'an army enters the city, the benefits of the Liu family are naturally indispensable." Zhao Shudao, for the greed of the family, he is naturally very familiar with the intelligence of the family, who is secretly responsible for finding information for the state, and these people will often do anything for their own interests.

"Thank you Commander Zhao for that." Liu Tong got up and said gratefully.

The door of the Liu family suddenly opened, and more than two hundred soldiers with swords headed towards the Taishou Mansion, their goal was to attack the Taishou Mansion and attract the strength of the defenders to the greatest extent.

More than 200 soldiers did not encounter decent resistance along the way, and the soldiers of the family were absolutely crazy when fighting, they were able to put life and death on the line, unless they were facing well-trained soldiers, otherwise their strength was absolutely invincible.

The soldiers guarding the Taishou Mansion did not expect that at such a time, there would be an enemy in the city and the Taishou Mansion would soon be captured.

After capturing the Taishou Mansion, these private soldiers did not hesitate at all and immediately set fire to it.

After the news of the fire in the Taishou Mansion reached the army, there were soldiers who came in the direction of the Taishou Mansion, and a fire attracted the attention of more defenders.

On the city wall, Ma Chao saw a fire in the direction of the Taishou Mansion and asked, "What happened in the city?" ”

A general rode his horse and said breathlessly: "General, the Liu family suddenly sent private soldiers to seize the Taishou Mansion and set it on fire. ”

Ma Chao said coldly: "Liu family, An dares to do this in front of this general, you immediately lead two hundred soldiers to the Liu family, and leave no chickens and dogs, so that they can understand the fate of going against this general." ”

"Whoa." The general was ordered to clench his fists and leave.

Ma Chao pondered for a while, and realized that something was wrong, he was naturally no stranger to the Liu family, Liu Tong would definitely not dare to make such a reckless move without absolute certainty, what kind of consequences such an action would bring to the Liu family, presumably Liu Tong was clear, thinking of the army outside the city suddenly attacking in the middle of the night, Ma Chao's face changed greatly: "Order the army in the city, leave a thousand people to quell the rebellion in the city, and the rest of the soldiers rush to the city gate, without the order of the general, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city." ”

Not only the Liu family, but there are not a few people who secretly agitated for Zhao Shu, if these people suddenly act together, the turmoil caused in the city will definitely be huge.

Just when the private soldiers of the Liu family rushed to the Taishou Mansion, Zhao Shu led the hundred flying eagle soldiers lurking in the city towards the west of the city, and the hundred flying eagle soldiers were the biggest support for the Chang'an army to attack the city this time, and the strength of the family in the city was just to attract the attention of the defenders to a greater extent for their actions.

Zhao Shu led the soldiers to leave only two quarters of an hour, and the general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had been ordered, led two hundred cavalry to kill the Liu family, and the Liu family, who had not had time to retreat, suddenly heard bursts of screams, and Liu Tong died in the chaos.
