The siege has already begun.

First of all, Ma Chaojun and Hanzhong Army shot each other, Ma Chaojun used cavalry shooting under the city, and 10,000 cavalry galloped around Hanzhong City and fired arrows at the same time. The arrows on the city of Hanzhong were shot down, and they rarely could shoot the Xiliang soldiers, and another round of silver-white arrow rain hit, and the soldiers in the city took refuge below the city fence.

Ma Chao saw that the rain of arrows in the city was suppressed, and shouted: "Boys, rush!" Ladder, push it up! ”

More than a dozen simple ladders were first placed on the moat outside Hanzhong City as a bridge, and the Xiliang army attacked the other side of the moat. I only heard a "crash" sound, and a ladder that served as a bridge broke, and the soldiers on the ladder fell into the water one after another. It was cool and dry in the west, few people could swim, and the soldiers were screaming in the moat, but no one rescued them.

Then a cloud ladder was set up on the city of Hanzhong, and the soldiers under the city went up to the cloud ladder, and the two armies fought in close combat, and the arrows on both sides gradually became scarce.

The shouts, screams, screams, and the clashing of blades are constantly intermingled, like a huge symphony, magnificent and tragic.

Often the ladder has just been erected on the city, the Xiliang soldiers pounced and climbed up rapidly, tens of thousands of Han sergeants crowded on the city wall, forming an impermeable city wall, some of the soldiers laughed and some seriously pushed to the cloud ladder effortlessly, the ladder smashed through the air and went down, and fell to the ground like thunder, and some of the Xiliang soldiers screamed and some endured the pain.

The city wall in Hanzhong is tall and solid, the city guards are well-equipped, fully prepared, full of fighting spirit, and the number of people is still superior, 10,000 Xiliang soldiers can't attack the city wall at all, let alone break through the city and enter.

But Ma Chao, who has no siege experience, doesn't understand, doesn't understand that there are no siege equipment, and forcibly attacking the city will cost several times the strength of the defenders. Ma Chao, who was excited, looked at the Xiliang soldiers who could not attack the city wall, and thought that how could my Xiliang Tiger and Wolf Division not be able to break through a city, it must be that the soldiers did not go all out.

Ma Chao shouted in front of the formation:

"Siege the city with all your might!" "No backwards!" "Retreater! Chop! ”

Ma Chao's scream, violent and inspiring, frivolous and deafening, crossed the solid and tall city wall of Hanzhong, crossed the tens of thousands of soldiers who were in contact with each other, and reached the ears of Zhang Quan, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others in the house on the city wall.

After Zhang Quan heard Ma Chao's shout, he glanced at his lips and sneered mockingly, and said in his heart, joke, Ma Chao still has 20,000 horses left, and I still have 30,000 soldiers in Hanzhong City, I don't believe that Ma Chao without large-scale siege equipment can still break through Hanzhong. Ma Chao's cavalry is indeed very powerful, but this is a siege battle, what is the use of cavalry?

Zhang Quan felt the gaze of everyone looking at him, so he said:

"Since Ma Chao swears to break through our Hanzhong City, let's go out and have a look at it reluctantly."

Zhang Quan took Pang Tong Xu Shu around the city, greeted the soldiers and soldiers, and encouraged morale. But the grandeur of this battle of tens of thousands of people was still shocking.

The scorching sun, the clear sky, the white clouds are drifting, the feet are the vast Hanzhong Plain, the crops and vegetables and trees on the Hanzhong Plain are growing vigorously, the solid and huge Hanzhong City, and the mighty moat that gradually stains red with blood from the Han water. The natural landscapes, the scorching sun, the white clouds, the blue sky, the infinite earth and the trees, crops, cities, and rivers that grow on it, have never and will not be changed by the sorrow of witnessing a bloody battle, and they seem to have a pair of cold eyes, quietly watching the spirits of all things that grow in them pour out and fight each other.

I just feel that the top and bottom of the city wall of Hanzhong at this moment are like a huge bold and delicate watercolor painting. With the city of heaven and earth as the base scene, the silver arrow rain in the sky, the dense similar but completely different figures, the fireballs, rolling logs, and falling rocks that are constantly thrown from the city, the Xiliang soldiers who fell one by one outside the city wall, the Xiliang soldiers who were killed fell quietly in the moat, and the blood flowers spread in the river to show the beauty of the moment before being shattered by the corpses that fell.

Gradually, what Zhang Quan saw was no longer tens of thousands of soldiers fighting, but tens of thousands of creatures intertwined with blood and tears in the scorching sun of the vast land. At this moment, the ordinary souls of tens of thousands of soldiers burned under the city wall, and the brilliant and dazzling light and heat made it difficult for Zhang Quan to look directly.

It was like a decapitation platform on the edge of the city wall in Hanzhong, and the soldiers on both sides kept squeezing into this beheading line, squeezing before and after, which was death.

Ma Chao, dressed in silver armor, stood in the midst of the ten thousand armies, his voice had become hoarse and mature with the continuous roar, but he was extremely indignant at the moment, and his fighting spirit, his bloody battle intent, and the conquering mentality of dominating the world, overwhelmed his already uncool mind. At this moment, Ma Chao's body is no longer determined by personal consciousness, but is controlled by that violent emotion, vigorous fighting spirit, and conquering mentality regardless of some things.

Ma Chao shouted at the 10,000 cavalry soldiers who were shooting at Hanzhong City:

"What are you doing in a daze? Give me up, get off the horse, and attack Hanzhong City! ”

Xiliang soldiers, the division of tigers and wolves, are all hot-blooded men, watching their companions attack the city strongly, although the corpses continue to fall under the city, but they are rarely afraid, on the contrary, they are excited, hidden in the depths of the bone marrow at the moment to be aroused by the violent battle intent, hate to step forward to replace the siege soldiers.

At this moment, the soldiers who were still riding on horses and galloping to the city to release arrows received Ma Chao's order, and no one went to Ma Chao's order to reason, so they excitedly abandoned their horses and stepped forward to attack Hanzhong City.

・・・・・

The outcome of the battle was already determined when Ma Chao suddenly rose up and launched a siege battle.

・・・・・・

The remnant sun is like blood, and the remnant sun like blood diffracts up and down Hanzhong City, and the air seems to be filled with a thick blood mist. The ground on the city wall was mottled with blood, and under the illumination of the blood-red sun, it was impossible to distinguish where there was blood and where there was no blood.

Xiliang soldiers, either dead or wounded.

Ma Chao stood quietly under the city of Hanzhong, watching hundreds of soldiers who had endured the pain launch another siege, and then were quickly defeated under the city of Hanzhong. Falling on the ground and in the moat under the city, the wails and screams of several soldiers clearly reached Ma Chao's ears.

At this moment, the adrenal glands and thyroid gland, which had secreted adrenaline and thyroid hormones all day, could no longer support it and collapsed in an instant.

Ma Chao's excited mental state instantly became decadent, looking at Hanzhong City's passionate and conquering eyes gradually blurred, the blood on his face faded, showing a pale color, inexplicably sad with his heart, in the pathos Ma Chao glanced at the few Xiliang soldiers behind him with compassion, many Xiliang soldiers were struggling to get up and attack the city, Ma Chao stopped them.

Twenty thousand horses still surrounded Hanzhong City, grazing silently, never realizing that their owners had left them permanently. Ma Chao rectified his sorrow, and Zhengse shouted:

"The whole army got on the horse and followed the return army to Xia Meng Pass. Break through Hanzhong City again in the coming day! ”

As soon as the words fell, the Hanzhong City Gate Bridge fell down with a bang, the city gate was wide open, and a group of spearmen lined up neatly under the city gate, rushing towards the heavily injured Ma Chaojun.
