420 consecutive defeats

One hundred thunderbolts and two thousand handmelons smashed into Han Sui's army, smashing hundreds of Xiliang soldiers to the ground and screaming.

After the gourd hit the ground, the fuse was ignited by the fiercely burning alcohol, and the fuse was like a tongue of fire, emitting dazzling starlight, and finally ignited the gunpowder in the gourd.

"Boom, boom, boom......, boom" explosions like the sky and the earth cracking one after another, the huge blasting shock wave Shunjiang knocked thousands of Xiliang soldiers to the ground, and the Xiliang soldiers in the center of the explosion were injured Finally, the body was like a cracked water ball, and the internal organs were splashed everywhere, and the limbs were driven to fly around, leaving no corpses.

After the handmelon exploded, the dense metal fragments flew in all directions like flying knives, and the sharp tip of the blade with high temperature penetrated stronger, and the human body that pierced into Xiliang's body was broken flesh and bones...... There were stumps all over the ground, and another terrible wail.

What's even more shocking is that most of the Xiliang army are cavalry. People can still suppress the fear of fire and explosions in their hearts, but war horses cannot.

The Xiliang War Horse, which heard the rumbling explosion for the first time, was immediately seriously frightened after seeing the scene of sparks flying everywhere and the same kind of flesh and blood flying, and kicked his hooves like crazy, knocking the knight behind him to the ground, and running away.

A war horse is just like this, thousands of war horses were frightened at the same time, and fled in reverse direction in Han Sui's army, they couldn't stop it, thousands of horses galloped, and the sound of horses' hooves was louder than the sound of Fang Cai's explosion.

The horse team roared like a bulldozer, crushing over the body of the Xiliang soldiers, and the dead were uncountable.

The morale of the remaining more than 50,000 Xiliang soldiers fell to the bottom in an instant, and where did they dare to attack Chang'an City, they turned around and fled.

The siege of Chang'an on the first day came to an end. For the outcome of the defeat on the first day, Han Sui was very unwilling, if he wanted to take Chang'an before Ma Teng, he had to break through the city defense within three days.

On the second day, he became much smarter, and instead of besieging Chang'an with a dense array like yesterday, he changed to a sparse formation.

In the battle of the day, this trick really worked. The sparse array managed to avoid most of the damage of the Thunderbolt and the Handmelon, and broke through the fire at the cost of only 3,000 casualties.

However, the sparse array also has its fatal flaws, the lack of organization and coordination of the formation to resist the ability to resist arrow fire is seriously insufficient, and the scattered soldiers have become live targets for the city guards to snipe after entering the seventy-step range of the city wall.

Compared with the sharp steel arrows of the Holy Mother Sect, the bronze shield held high in the hands of Han Sui's sergeant was like paper paste, and it was broken at the touch of a touch.

The rain of arrows came one after another, and the group of Han Sui's soldiers who shot directly jumped and jumped, and the already extremely sparse formation became more and more chaotic.

At this time, the gate of Chang'an, which had been sealed for many days, suddenly opened. Zhao Yun led 3,000 Templars who moved the world to kill.

The Templars were known for their steely bodies, their sturdy chain mail shielding their targets, leaving only a pair of eyes bare beneath their visors, emitting a chilling glow. Three thousand fine war horses stomped on the ground with iron palms, and the roar was thousands of times louder than that of tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry.

The earth trembled as the iron cavalry crossed, and the Templars, led by Zhao Yun, rushed Han Sui's army to pieces.

Han Sui was defeated again, losing nearly half of his 70,000 horses in two days, and after paying the price of more than 30,000 casualties, he didn't even touch the edge of Chang'an City.

In addition to being angry, a horse probe reported to Han Sui, saying: This Ma Teng stationed outside the city not only did not fight with the church's reinforcements, but in the center of the military formation, he talked to the enemy's main general Huang Zhong for two days. Tanma hesitated too far away, and although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he could tell from his face that the two sides were talking happily.

Han Sui was stunned when he heard the letter, Ma Teng drank and talked with the people of the church, and the other party was Luan Yi's most trusted general, Huang Zhong! What are his intentions? Lao Tzu is here to bleed and attack the city, but he is there to drink and talk! What did he want to do?

Thousands of questions rose in Han Sui's heart, and a haze of conspiracy enveloped his heart.

A picture of Ma Teng carrying him away and joining forces with Luan Yi to crusade against him rose in his heart.

But out of trust in Ma Teng, this image only flashed in his mind for a moment, and then disappeared.

After all, he and Ma Teng are grasshoppers on a rope, and one loses and the other prospies...... However, if Luan Yi made any promises to Ma Teng, it would be another matter.

Han Sui's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he immediately sent his son-in-law and confidant Yan Rou to Ma Teng's camp to question why Ma Teng only sat and said, neither fighting with Huang Zhong nor assisting in the siege?

Yan Rou walked for a while and got the answer: "I agreed with Brother Han that within three days, Brother Han would attack Chang'an, and I would be responsible for resisting Huang Zhong who came to the aid and preventing him from supporting Chang'an." Now, I took advantage of the strategy of delaying the army to block Huang Zhong thirty miles west of Chang'an City without spending a group of soldiers, successfully fulfilling my mission and creating sufficient opportunities for Brother Han to attack the city. Why did Brother Han still complain? ”

Receiving such an answer, Han Sui was both happy and angry. Fortunately, through these words and Ma Teng's actions of not detaining Yan Rou, it can be seen that Ma Teng did not take refuge in Luan Yi and was still on his side.

Angry, Ma Teng is really treacherous. The reason why he adopted the strategy of delaying the army and not starting a war with Huang Zhong was to preserve his strength. Three days later, according to the agreement, the position was exchanged, and Han Sui was changed to fight Huang Zhong, and when he Ma Teng attacked Chang'an, he put enough troops into the siege battle.

At that time, with Han Sui's three-day onslaught as a foreshadowing, the garrison of Chang'an City will inevitably be greatly weakened. Han Sui paid the price of 30,000 people, which is equivalent to making a wedding dress for Ma Teng in vain.

"What a horse! I didn't expect you to calculate on my head. Han Sui's eyebrows were raised, and his snort became much faster.

"Lord Tarzan. Ma Teng sits on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, Chang'an City is determined to win, how should we deal with it? Yan Rou asked Han Sui.

Han Sui glanced at Yan Rou, and there was a few fierce lights in his eyes, "Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." The three armies were ordered to rest for a day tomorrow and prepare to exchange garrisons with Ma Teng. ”

"What do you mean by Tarzan?" Yan Rou was puzzled. Chang'an City has been attacked for two days, and I hope that there will be something to gain tomorrow, why do you choose to give up your efforts at this time?

Han Sui said in a low voice: "The city wall of Chang'an is deep, and Zhao Yun has a good weapon to help defend it, so he can't attack it for a while." I can't wait to withdraw it for the time being, let Ma Teng gnaw this hard bone, and wait until the time of the change of position again to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

"Father-in-law Takami!" After complimenting, Yan Rou turned her head and thought about it, feeling that it was wrong, so she asked Han Sui, "If Ma Teng really captures Chang'an, what will it be?" ”

Han Sui was asked by Yan Rou, frowned, and said, "Don't worry." The 'thunder' that was thrown all over the city was not something that ordinary people could resist. It is estimated that even Luan Yi's Holy Mother Sect army will not be able to resist it by itself, let alone the rabble under Ma Teng. Chang'an City, Ma Teng can't take it. Having said that, Han Sui was always at ease in his heart, but at this moment, he had no choice.

As a result, Chang'an City, which had been disturbed by the war for five days, became unusually quiet the next day.

In Chang'an City, the guards stationed in the city were busy, carrying the materials for defending the city back and forth. In the past five days, they have successfully resisted Han Sui's crazy attacks, and the results are gratifying.

It's just that Zhao Yun is extremely worried that in the battle yesterday and the day before yesterday, the 7,600 hand melons stored in the Chang'an military arsenal were exhausted, and if Han Sui attacked again today, the defenders defending the city could only rely on the old bows, arrows, and spear tactics to defend the city. And in this regard, the church army did not have a numerical advantage, and defeat was a matter of time.

At that time, Zhao Yun could only choose to abandon the city.

Obviously, Han Sui didn't know the news that the handmelons in Chang'an City were running out. At this time, he was stupidly dispatching his soldiers to pack up the tent and baggage, and prepare to adjust the defense with Ma Teng.

And Ma Teng was doing the same thing after ending two days of pleasant conversation with Huang Zhong.

As a result, on the third day, the camp outside Chang'an City was full of banners with the word "horse". Correspondingly, Han Sui's army also lined up a neat military formation five hundred steps away from Huangzhong Dazhai.

Huang Zhong saw that his opponent was replaced by Han Sui from the picture refracted back by the telescope, so he made a move to Luan Yi's entrustment before coming - "If you meet Ma Teng, you will be defeated, and Han Sui needs to win the battle", and ordered all the soldiers and horses to pour out of the nest and decided to fight with Han Sui.

The formation is in line, and the three-way drum is completed. Huang Zhong flew out of the column with a treasure knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Han Sui." You were originally a rebel against the imperial court, leading foreigners to mess with our borders. The first emperor thought that you had some knowledge, so he recruited An Ru into the court. Now, you do not repent, do not remember the emperor's grace, and rebel again. Such an evil thing, heaven and man are angry, why don't you quickly get off the horse and die? ”

Han Sui smiled coldly and said, "The thief shouts to catch the thief!" Your lord Luan Ziqi coerced the Son of Heaven to do things that he did not obey, and he was the one who really went against the grain and harmed the superordinates. Those who act against the sky in this way will be punished by all. Today, my expedition to the east for the Xiliang army is to support the dynasty, to save King Qin, and it is a righteous act. You are originally a Hanchen, and you should serve our emperor by Han's grace, and it is disloyal to help Luan thieves and strategists. I advise you to rein in the precipice as soon as possible, or you will not be reprimanded by the power of heaven. ”

What a pair of sharp teeth. Huang Zhong saw that he couldn't bargain for money, and replied: "Hugh has to be reckless, and he has the ability to see the truth in his hands." ”

"I'm afraid you won't make it!" Han Sui glanced at Huang Zhong with a look of disdain, "Who wants to take that dog's head?" ”

"My son-in-law is willing to go!" Han Sui's son-in-law, Yan Rou, came out of the ranks with a gun and attacked Huang Zhong. "Huang Hansheng is rampant, Yan Rou is here ......"

Yan Rou's name, Huang Zhong, had also heard more than that. According to rumors, this son makes a good gun, and he is a brave general who has just emerged in Xiliang in recent years, and his martial arts level is in second place in Xiliang, only after Ma Chao.
