Chapter 123: Capture the City

"There's movement! There's definitely something going on below! "Li Xin is really a soldier now, because he knows that once he is killed by Ma Chaojun and broken by Ma Chaojun, he will definitely not be spared.

The New Han Army can't tolerate these evildoers, even if Ma Chao doesn't submit to the New Han Dynasty, just because Wang Yi defeated Ma Chao in a row and killed Ma Chao's army and Ma Jun's horses, Ma Chao will not let go of these Li Dao's people. Unless they can prove that they have never done anything evil.

Well, when the New Han Army regained Chang'an, the review of Dong Zhuo's old department killed countless unforgivable soldiers, which had a far-reaching impact, and those Dong Zhuo thieves who followed Li Dao, Guo Yan, Niu Fu and others were really frightened, for fear that they would fall into the hands of the New Han Army.

Therefore, when the New Han Army killed so many Dong Zhuo thieves, the opposite effect was to force the thieves who were lucky enough to flee to Xiliang to resolutely confront the New Han Army, desperately guarding those dangerous passes, and not daring to let the New Han Army enter Xiliang.

Li Xin didn't dare to be careless, he hurriedly said: "Quick! Send someone out of town to see ...... No, let go of the arrows! Yes, give me the arrows! ā€

Now it is very dangerous to open the city gate and send people out to inspect the situation, Li Xin thought of this all of a sudden, and hurriedly stopped, not daring to let people go out of the city to watch.

"Aim around that wood and give me arrows!"

The city was snow-white, and on the surface, it was really difficult to see if there was anyone lurking outside the city. Li Xin also has a certain amount of latent common sense, knowing that if there are people outside the city, as long as a white cloth is covered with it, it will look like snow, and no one can be seen at all.

Hear Li Xin's urgent order. The soldiers around him were also nervous, and they really thought that there were enemy troops trying to steal the city. At the moment, he didn't care too much, so he followed Li Xin's order. They bent their bows and arrows one after another, and shot arrows at the city indiscriminately.

For a moment, a flurry of arrows was swished.

Arrows flew indiscriminately, and landed on the moat, and there were many around the four stakes.

At this time, many of the four or five hundred horse super troops who were crawling on the snow and did not dare to move were already lurking behind the wooden stake. Arrows on the head of the city. It just so happens to cover them.

The sound of porphyries entering the flesh, the soldiers crawling on the ground, and countless people were hit by arrows.

But. It is also thanks to these soldiers that they are elites selected from the army by generals such as Ma Chao and Pang De, all of whom are elite soldiers. And, pick out when they participated in stealing the city. And they knew it. As long as they participate in the operation, they are dead. These soldiers are also dead soldiers with incomparably strong wills.

They all knew at this moment that the two generals, Ma Chao and Pang De, were in the moat. If they make a noise because of the arrow, or if they expose the target in pain, then the two generals Ma Chao and Pang De are in danger. In the moat, they will face the fire of countless bows and arrows from the city.

Therefore, the dead soldiers who were directly killed by the bow and arrow were okay. Those who are not dead by the arrows will test their will.

A dead man. He was shot directly in the back by a random arrow, piercing his body and pinning him to the ground. The severe pain made him tremble, but at the moment he was hit by the arrow, he subconsciously bit his lip and endured the pain to prevent himself from making the slightest sound.

He probably knew that he was hopeless, so he forced one of his hands into his mouth so that he would not make a noise, and he finally breathed.

There were also some more unlucky dead soldiers, who were shot with multiple arrows all over their bodies, and they were not shot at the same time, but from time to time an arrow hit him, and this wave of pain really hurt him to death, but his tenacious will made him not make a sound, and in the end, he was killed alive.

The arrows on the head of the city were shot indiscriminately for a long time.

"General Li Xin, there is no movement outside the city? Are you mistaken? A Li Xin general, seeing that they had shot so many arrows, but there was no movement outside the city, said with some suspicion.

"Stop!" Only then did Li Xin stop the soldiers.

"Strange, could it be that I miscalculated? Or am I reading it wrong? There's no movement outside the city? Li Xin stared at the other side of the moat, looked at the feather arrows stuck in the ground, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"General Li Xin, actually...... In fact, the last general has been staring below, and if there is any movement, the last general will definitely be the first to find out......" A general who should be in charge of guarding the town said in a slightly dissatisfied tone. Because Li Xin suspects that there is something wrong below, this is to suspect that he is not doing things well, and whether he is derelict in his duties.

"General, why don't we send someone down to have a look?" A pro-general will build yƬ road.

"No, no need, if there are people down there, we will shoot them to death in this wave." Li Xin was also a little skeptical about whether he was nervous now, and he was a little embarrassed when he heard the guard's words.

"Zhang Sheng, this general doesn't suspect you of anything, as long as you guard this city gate, after this matter is over, I will recommend you to the lord as a personal general, or transfer you back to Tianshui City. Okay, you go on your watch, and I'll go to the other gates first. Li Xin comforted the guard and turned away.

If Li Xin stayed a little longer, I am afraid that he would find that between the chaotic arrows under the city, the originally snow-white snow began to slowly change color, as if a piece of white cloth had been stained, a stain in the east and a stain in the west.

It was the blood that flowed from the bodies of the dead soldiers, and after a period of penetration, it finally stained the white cloth covering their bodies red. Of course, under the darkness of the night, it looks like patches of stains.

Fortunately, Li Daojun at the head of the city didn't pay too much attention to the random arrows under the city at the moment.

There were two slight water sounds, and Ma Chao and Pang De climbed stiffly from the water to the opposite bank.

The two generals sank to the bottom of the moat, avoiding the random arrows on the head of the city, and at the same time destroyed the spikes at the bottom of the moat, so that they crossed the moat safely from the bottom of the water.

The two generals crouched down by the moat under the city walls, and while observing the top of the city, they did not see any guards at the head of the city observing below, and their hands and feet were also nimble. They jumped up at once, and quickly pressed down the four stakes with all their might, and then the two of them together. The ropes they had brought with them, which were tied to the other side of the river, were stretched straight and tight, and it didn't take much effort to straighten all four ropes.

Without waiting for the two generals to order, the soldiers who had been unable to wait for a long time stood up quietly one by one, and quickly brought wooden planks and laid them on the two ropes while the guards at the head of the city were not paying attention. All the way to the opposite bank.

Ma Chao and Pang De were already leaning against the foot of the city wall, waiting for all the sergeants to come over before they prepared to launch a surprise attack on the city.

Wang Yue and his disciples. It's already here.

Wang Yue found Ma Chao and Pang De first, and whispered to the two generals: "General Ma, General Pang, our people have sacrificed a lot, and it is estimated that there are less than three hundred." Across the river. It is estimated that there are still many seriously injured. There is also salvation. ā€

Ma Chao and Pang De, the two generals were underwater, and they didn't know the situation of their soldiers for a while.

Listening to Wang Yue's words, they all looked at the other side in surprise, and when they saw the snow with bows and arrows, they understood.

"Three hundred men can also take this gate, and if we can't take it, we will be ashamed of the dead soldiers." Ma Chao ordered categorically: "No matter." Get ready for the siege! ā€

A burst of chaotic arrows caused Ma Chao's 500 dead soldiers to lose 200 people. Some of them may have been injured but not killed, but Ma Chao can't care about rescuing them now, and the siege is important.

These are all the elites of Ma Chao's army, and Ma Chao said in his heart that it would be false if he didn't feel heartache, but Ma Chao can only issue an order to attack the city now.

Perhaps, a sudden movement caused the defenders at the head of the city to have a temporary relaxation. At the very least, after a flurry of arrows, they all thought that their walls were safe now, and that there were no enemy troops outside the city.

Therefore, they directly and unconsciously neglected to defend the city, subconsciously believing that it was impossible for an enemy army to attack their walls at this moment.

It is because of their psychological negligence at the moment that they lost their lives.

At this time, with Ma Chao's order, they crossed the moat alive, and the three hundred dead soldiers lurking at the foot of the city wall quickly took off the hooks on their shoulders, whirring and flicking the hooks, and dozens of hooks were thrown onto the city in the blink of an eye.

The defender soldiers at this moment, they are really psychologically lax.

Even when they saw the hook that suddenly flew up from under the city, and when it was hung between the battlements of the walls at the head of the city, they had not been able to come back to their senses, and they were a little stunned for a while, and they couldn't realize that there were enemy troops stealing the city now.

This meeting when they were stunned did not have a decisive significance for the ordinary siege dead soldiers. However, for people like Ma Chao and Pang De, especially people like Wang Yue and Shi A who are proficient in the way of assassination and are good at flying eaves and walls, this time of being stunned is enough.

I saw that more than ten or twenty figures suddenly rose to the ground, almost jumping up and down half of the city wall, and then pulled the hanging rope in their hands, and the figure rose more rapidly.

Just when more than 20 first-class masters such as Ma Chao, Pang De, Wang Yue, and Shi A jumped onto the top of the city, those stunned defender soldiers, they reacted. At that moment, they were shocked and panicked.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ā€

"There are enemy troops stealing the city!"

"Someone! There are enemy soldiers! ā€

"Ahh......hh

"Ahh

……

The panicked guards, they let out a terrible scream, this is a group of masters launched an attack on them, they can't even stop it.

"Ma Chao is here! Where is the enemy? "Ma Chao didn't bring a spear, just a long sword, he has begun to learn melee sword with Wang Yue, although he has only learned a little fur, but the sword is in his hand, and he does not dare to be despised and majestic.

Naturally, no one dared to respond to Ma Chao's battle.

At this moment, the defenders of the city have become a mess, and under the impact of a group of masters, it is good that they can save their lives.

"Kill! Avenge our brothers! ā€

"Damn, whoever released the arrows will come out for Lao Tzu!"

"Brothers below, you are staring wide-eyed, we have avenged you!"

……

Compared with Ma Chao and other masters, the two or three hundred dead soldiers who climbed the city wall later, they were angry because they were shot by the guards on the city head, especially those brothers who participated in the operation with them, they were shot so wrongly and died unjustly. Therefore, everyone is holding back anger and hatred.

This is really a new hatred and an old hatred.

At the head of the city, there are actually quite a few defenders, and the city wall in the west of the city is about three miles long, and the small city is not too wide. However, even on the city wall, which is more than three miles long, and at this night when it is not a war, there are actually more than 1,000 guards guarding the town. This is really a bit unexpected by Ma Chao and others.

Among them, hundreds of people are hiding in the gate tower in the west of the city.

Although Ma Chao and others occupied the city wall, the hundreds of people and horses were actually resisting according to the city tower.

Li Xin, who was too late to leave, happened to rush to a barracks near the west of the city at this moment, he suddenly heard the shouting and killing screams of the city gate in the west of the city, he was shocked, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, and immediately gathered the military horses of the barracks, and took the lead in rushing to the gate tower in the west of the city with two thousand men and horses to support, and there would be thousands of people and horses behind.

Ma Chao now has only two or three hundred people, and although he has the help of more than 20 first-class masters, he still can't stop many enemy soldiers from attacking and killing back to the city. Mainly within the city wall, there are many female walls, and the enemy soldiers can directly rush to the city head from many places to tear up Ma Chao and others.

If you can't take the gate tower in the west of the city, then you can't open the city gate, if you let Li Xin lead the army to kill again, when the time comes, under the enemy and I am outnumbered, I am afraid that you may not be able to fall down the city in one fell swoop.

However, this is only hypothetical. Facts will not give Li Xin another chance.

A burst of arrows at the head of the city also injured one of Wang Zhao's disciples, that is, Shi A and Yuan Qing's junior disciples, almost killing him, if it weren't for his luck to protect his body when the arrow came to his own sense of danger, he would not have been killed by an arrow, but it also almost made him lose his combat effectiveness, and the injury was not light.

Therefore, Wang Yue's heart was also full of anger. Wang Yue, who was angry, was very terrible.

He climbed directly from the side wall of the gate tower in the west of the city, broke through the roof of the tower, and killed from the inside.

Hundreds of Li Daojun in it were almost killed by Wang Yue, and the rest saw Wang Yue kill people like chickens, and as soon as they shot, several of them fell to the ground and died. And his figure is erratic, like a ghost from hell. Those guards who had not yet been killed by Wang Yue were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

At this point, the west gate of the city completely fell into the hands of Ma Chao.

Outside the city, Ma Chao's 20,000 cavalry had already been waiting in the distance, and when they saw the fierce battle in the fire at the head of the city from a distance, they knew that Ma Chao and others had killed the city. Immediately, the cavalry launched a charge from a distance, and rushed directly from a distance with a roar.

"Kill!"

The gates were opened just in time, and as soon as they were opened, the cavalry struck and rushed into the city with a roar.

The die is cast! (To be continued......)
