After Hou Xuan, Li Kan, and Zhang Heng's 70,000 troops prepared the siege equipment, they came to Guzang City early the next morning, after eating and drinking.

Cao Ju also came to the city, but none of Guzang's defenders knew who he was, and Ma Yunlu did not call him a general, but General Cao.

Who General Cao is, Guzang's defenders don't know, Han Sui's meticulous work doesn't know, and they don't associate this General Cao with Cao Ju, the general of Yongzhou.

Looking at the 70,000 troops outside the city, the corners of Cao Ju's mouth hooked up a smile, and said to Ma Yunlu: "Miss Yunlu, the advantage of the Xiliang Army is in the cavalry, and attacking the city is not its strength, as long as Miss Yunlu can block the opponent's attack for two hours, once its sharp spirit weakens, the opportunity to defeat the enemy will come." ”

Ma Yunlu was refreshed when she heard this, she knew that Cao Ju was not here alone, and must have brought an army, but Cao Ju didn't say where his army was or how many people there were, so Ma Yunlu was embarrassed to ask.

"No problem." Ma Yunlu, who was dressed in military uniform, looked even more heroic, extraordinary, and handsome, and Cao Ju was also a little more moved, and thought to himself, Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, I'm really sorry, it is said in the wild history that Ma Yunlu is your wife, it seems that this time I can only take the lead.

The three Hou Xuan also saw Cao Ju standing side by side with Ma Yunlu at the head of the city, and they were strange, and Hou Xuan asked: "The three brothers of Ma Chao are not in the city, and the people around Ma Yunlu don't know who they are?" ”

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "I don't know, we only need to take Guzang City, and this person's identity will be known." ”

Li Kan nodded and said, "It makes sense, it's not early, and the army can attack the city." ”

"Hmm." The candidate was the leader of the three, and immediately waved the silver spear in his hand, and when the flag commander saw this, he immediately waved the flag in his hand and gave the order to attack the city.

Immediately, the first group of 3,000 people who attacked the city poured up, and these 3,000 soldiers and horses were a mixture of the three of them, and each family was a thousand people, and they were not biased.

When Ma Yunlu saw it at the head of the city, he snorted coldly and shouted loudly: "Let these jackals know the might of our Ma family's army and swear to defend Guzang City to the death." ”

"Swear to defend Guzang City to the death."

"Swear to defend Gu Zangcheng to the death."

In an instant, the morale of the Ma family army was instigated to the extreme by Ma Yunlu, all the sergeants were full of enthusiasm, all of them were not afraid of death, not to mention that they could use one as ten, at least one person could fight two no problem.

Cao Ju said with a smile: "The morale is there, and then there are the benefits of the city and the people's hearts, Guzang City will be as solid as a rock." ”

Ma Yunlu also understood, but her mood was not as relaxed as Cao Ju, she looked into the distance, and muttered to herself: "It's just that I'm worried about the eldest brother and them, in case they ......"

Cao Ju said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Yunlu, Meng Qi's martial arts are outstanding, Ma Jiajun is brave and good at fighting, although Han Sui is cunning, but if you want to eat Ma Jiajun in one go, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Ma Yunlu was overjoyed when he heard this: "If this is the case, if we can save the lives of my eldest brother and three people, the Ma family will inevitably be grateful to General Cao, and in the future, he will serve before and under the saddle, and he will have no two hearts." ”

Cao Ju nodded and said: "Lone came to save you and others this time, just to bring Liangzhou to His Majesty's territory, so that Your Majesty will have Yongliang and Liangzhou, which is enough to be able to compete with those rebellious princes in Kanto." ”

Ma Yunlu has also heard Ma Teng talk about the situation in the world, and knows that there are two emperors in the Han Dynasty at the moment, but Liangzhou seems to have two emperors who do not obey it, and have engaged in a celibate posture.

"Definitely." Ma Yunlu nodded and said, "Although the general can rest assured, the Ma family has received the grace of the general's life, and he should be the only general Ma Shou Zhanye." ”

At this time, the three thousand siege soldiers had already entered the shooting range, and the city immediately rained arrows, and waves of arrows rained over, and many siege soldiers fell.

However, the speed of the besieging soldiers was still very fast, and after paying a small number of casualties, they advanced the line to the city, and the ladders were erected.

The rain of arrows at the head of the city decreased, and the giant trees, rolling stones, and oil pots began to play their role, and in an instant, the city became a hell on earth.

Hit by giant trees and rolling stones, he fell down the ladder screaming, splashed with hot oil, and rolled on the ground incessantly, wailing, and the sound was terrifying.

The ladder was also poured with boiling oil, and then it was shot by a rocket, and it became a ladder to hell with raging fire.

Seeing that the siege was blocked, the faces of the three Hou Xuan were not good-looking, and after Hou Xuan stared at it for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Pass on my military order, and prepare for the second siege army." ”

Li Kan hesitated for a moment and said: "Guzang City is well prepared, if it is a siege of 3,000 people at a time, is it too few, why don't you let the second and third groups of siege troops go up at the same time?" ”

Hou Xuan frowned, thought about it for a while, and thought that this method was good, so he agreed.

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "I have a plan, which can divide the power of the city. ”

"Oh." Among the eight parts, except for Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng has the most ghost ideas, and when he said this, Hou Xuan immediately became interested and asked, "What is Junzhi's plan?" ”

Zhang Heng said: "Our army of 70,000, all of them attacked the north gate of Guzang, but they could not all go into battle, therefore, it is better to divide 20,000 troops, go to the east and west gates respectively, and pretend to attack the city, then Ma Yunlu will inevitably divide his troops to the east and west gates, so that the defenders of the north gate will be reduced, and the opportunity of our army will also arrive." ”

Hou Xuan was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Jun's clever plan, just with Jun's plan, I am here to command the siege of the north gate, and you and the two of you will each lead 10,000 troops, go to the east and west gates, and pretend to attack the city." ”

Li Kan and Zhang Heng immediately hugged their fists and said loudly: "Get the order." ”

At that moment, Li Kan and Zhang Heng led 10,000 troops respectively, and went to the east and west gates on the left and right.

As soon as there was movement here, Ma Yunlu naturally learned about it, she was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly said: "It's not good, Hou Xuan divided his troops to attack my east and west gates, so that our army's defensive strength will be dwarfed, and I am afraid that Guzang City will be in danger." ”

Cao Ju still smiled calmly and said: "Miss Yunlu doesn't have to worry, she is waiting for the candidate to divide his troops to attack the city, so the candidate will definitely lose this time." ”

Seeing this, Ma Yunlu's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Mo Fei, the general has ......."

Cao Ju said with a smile: "That's right, Lone has a limited number of troops this time, and if he confronts the candidate army, it is not easy to win, so he can only divide his troops to attack it." ”
