Chapter 45 Gao Shun vs Ma Chao

Woo ~ woo woo ~ woo ~ The desolate and majestic howl broke the silence of the early morning, outside the city of Huaili, a cloud ladder rushed to the city wall with the Xiliang soldiers like an ant tide, Ma Chao just arrived in Huaili, he did not hesitate to launch the order to attack the city, the soldiers are fast, Ma Chao's approach is undoubtedly very correct, under normal circumstances, he can definitely hit the defenders by surprise, but unfortunately, he is facing Gao Shun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The besieging army was already a hundred paces away from the city wall, but strangely enough, there was no reaction from the wall, but a faint sound of trumpets could be heard from the city.

"Heh, this is Lu Bu's general?" Ma Chao stood in the rear formation, looking at the situation ahead, and saw that the cloud ladder was about to rush to the bottom of the city wall, but the defenders in the city did not react at all, and couldn't help but sneer, and looked at the generals around him with disdain: "It's actually difficult to live under the fame, I didn't expect this Gao Shun to be like this." ”

"The Major General is wise." Behind Ma Chao, many Xiliang generals patted the horse.

"Major General, something is wrong!" Pound's brows furrowed slightly, he looked in the direction of the city wall, and said in a deep voice.

When Ma Chao heard this, he was a little unhappy in his heart: "What's wrong?" ”

Pang De shook his head and said: "Even if Gao Shun is not worthy of his name, but after all, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and for such a long time, there is no figure on the city wall, I am afraid that there is fraud." ”

"Ling Ming is more hearted." Ma Chao smiled indifferently when he heard this.

As if to verify Pound's words, the moment the first ladder was mounted on the city wall, countless jars were thrown out from behind the city wall and smashed down towards the defenders under the city wall.

The shield soldiers under the city subconsciously raised the shield in their hands.

"Bang Bang Bang~" In the dense cracking sound, the viscous liquid instantly spread a thick layer under the city wall.

Caught off guard, many unlucky Xiliang soldiers were directly smashed by the jar that fell from the sky, and the blood and brains flowed all over the ground, but more were smashed and fell to the ground.

"What's that?" Ma Chao looked at the reaction on the city wall and frowned.

"The casualties don't seem to be significant." Pound rode to the rear of the formation, trying to see what was happening.

"This is~" The pungent smell permeated the city, but more soldiers began to roar and climb up the ladder after seeing that the other party did not continue to attack.

A sword and shield hand got up from the ground, and the slippery and sticky feeling of his hands made him unable to even grasp the weapon, and subconsciously sniffed at the end of his nose, and his complexion suddenly changed.

"Fire oil ~ It's fire oil!" The sword and shield hand, who thought of something in an instant, frantically squeezed towards the dense crowd behind him, and let out a cry of despair in hysterical terms.

"Bastard, back from the latter! Chop! A cold light swept across the neck of the sword and shield hand, the head of the big man flew into the sky, and a military general who looked like a general slashed the sword and shield hand who was afraid of the battle and retreated, Sen Ran's eyes looked in the direction of the city, raised the war knife and roared: "Kill~"

"Kill~"

A few people also found that something was wrong, and the shouts of peace that began to shout loud warnings were instantly covered by earth-shaking shouts of killing.

"Set fire!" At the head of the city, an indifferent voice did not reach the city, but the next moment, as hundreds of torches fell from the city, followed by the flames that rose to the sky accompanied by countless screams, the fierce battlefield instantly turned into a Shura purgatory, and then, above the city, countless figures appeared, and one after another ladders were pushed off the city wall in the screams of the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang army in the rear was blocked by the fire in front and could not get close to the city wall, so they huddled together in front of the raging fire.

"Shoot the arrows!"

At the same time, with a loud shout, rows of sharp arrows swept out of the air, gradually converging into a black rain of arrows in the air, and fell towards the chaotic crowd.

Most of the shield bearers were caught in the sea of fire at this moment, rolling on the ground, and at this moment, the soldiers in the back row were like stripped naked girls, the door was wide open, and in a desperate shout, with the arrows breaking through the air, accompanied by a piece of death music, countless Xiliang soldiers fell in pieces like cut wheat.

In front of the sea of fire, even if you rush in, you can't attack the city, but also have to face waves of slaughter on the city wall, yes, it is a slaughter, in the case of losing the protection of the shield, the archer's sight is also blocked by the flames, the lucky Xiliang soldiers who did not step into the sea of fire did not escape the tragic fate, Gao Shun is almost a set of combined attacks, not only let the Xiliang army's unexpected offensive advantage come to naught, but also cast a shadow on the entire Xiliang army.

"Poof~" A Xiliang army was pierced by a cluster of arrows that broke through the air, and the Xiliang army next to him suddenly roared, brandished his weapon and turned around and rushed backwards frantically.

Immediately after, more and more Xiliang troops could not bear this one-sided slaughter, turned around and left, even if it was the supervision team, they didn't know what to do when they saw this situation, and there was a sea of fire ahead, purgatory in the world, retreat, at least a glimmer of life, the human instinct to survive, so that most of the Xiliang army subconsciously chose a road with greater vitality in a desperate environment.

"Mingjin!" Ma Chao looked at the Xiliang army that was almost fleeing with a gloomy face, if it weren't for the fire that also blocked the route of the defenders, I'm afraid it would not be as simple as fleeing at this moment.

"Bell~"

At this time, a gong suddenly sounded on both sides of Huaili, followed by two groups of men and horses from both sides of Huaili, two teams of men and horses suddenly rushed out towards the people and horses who fled back, the first member of the military general was wearing a heavy armor, in the process of charging, the war knife in his hand was fiercely split out of the void, behind him, a group of soldiers actually bent their bows and arrows while running, and another wave of arrow rain broke through the air, and countless soldiers who only cared about running fell to the ground in pieces.

"Stop, stop!" Ma Chaoqi's face turned blue, and he personally killed several fleeing Xiliang troops, but he couldn't stop the rout.

"Major General, the general trend has gone, we will withdraw from the battle group first, and then annihilate this army with cavalry!" Pang De saw that things could not be violated, and hurriedly pulled Ma Chaodao.

"Humph!" Ma Chao roared angrily, turned his horse's head, and began to retreat with his personal guards, and at the same time ordered the cavalry to assemble and prepare for a counterattack, completely eating this army that had gone out of the city.

It's a pity that Gao Shun did not chase endlessly, after chasing out of the city five hundred steps away, he stopped the pursuit, and quickly returned to the city with the army, so that Ma Chao, who led the cavalry to fight back, pounced, looking at the fire that was still burning under the city of Huaili and the corpses all over the ground, Ma Chao came to the city with a pale face, and some soldiers wanted to shoot arrows, but the spear in his hand dropped all the arrows from the rain of arrows.

"Gao Shun, dare to go out of the city and fight with me!" Ma Chao withdrew a stone's throw away, pointed his spear at the city wall, and roared sharply.

After a while, no one answered, but a few scattered arrows broke through the air, but unfortunately they had not yet shot close, and they had already landed with all their strength.

"Major General, let's retreat first!" Pang De stepped forward, glanced at the direction of the city, and said with a wry smile, people made it clear that they were not going to come out to fight, so that Ma Chao's bravery was useless.

"Coward! On the day the city is broken, I will personally slash your head! Spat fiercely, Ma Chao took Pang De and retreated ten miles to the village.

On the city wall, Chen Xing looked at Gao Shun excitedly and said: "General Gao's soldiers are really unpredictable, and the last general admires it, after this battle, I am afraid that the morale of Ma Chao's army will not be able to recover in a short time." ”

Gao Shun shook his head: "This strategy has been used by the lord when he faced Cao Cao in Xiapi, although it is easy to use, but unfortunately the consumption is too great, and I have to thank the candidate for not moving, so that we can work together to break the game." ”

Turning his head to look at Chen Xingdao: "There is nothing to do here, you quickly bring people back to defend martial arts, after this defeat, Ma Chao is afraid that he will urge the candidates to enter the army." ”

"The last general commands!" Chen Xing agreed, said goodbye and left, leaving Gao Shun standing at the head of the city, looking at the Xiliang army gradually retreating in the distance, shook his head, and ordered the left and right to step up the defense, although after this defeat, Ma Chao's morale was completely covered, but if Ma Chao took a risk, this time was also the time when the defenders were the most lax, but it was easy to succeed.
