Chapter 473: Bloody Battle in Chang'an (5)
Under the city of Chang'an, the rebels of Xiliang finally began to attack Chang'an again after the ambassador made a loud noise, and Meng Jian was in high spirits and threatened to take Chang'an City within three hours.
Under the leadership of the Qiang people, most of the soldiers of the Xiliang rebels began to launch a full-strength charge towards Chang'an City, whether it was the Qiang soldiers or the rebels in Liangzhou, all the soldiers were enthusiastic, as if the Chang'an City in front of them was no longer a lifeless city, but a beautiful woman who was stripped naked, and let them trample on it wantonly.
First of all, in the rear of the rebels, 50 catapults were ready to go to carry out a round of long-range bombardment, and the catapults concentrated their firepower to carry out wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the west gate of Chang'an City.
After a long-range attack, the rebels began a full-scale assault on Chang'an City. Hundreds of ladders, dozens of wells, more than a dozen rushing cars supported by people, Yan Xing took out all the old bottoms this time, from light to heavy siege equipment, only you can't think of it, there is nothing he can't use, except for hot weapons such as machine guns, but everything that exists in this era has been transferred to the front line by Yan Xing.
The soldiers of Chang'an City, who defended the city, braved the enemy's fierce stone throwing, waited at the head of the city, sniped bravely, and the crossbowmen fired arrows under the unified dispatch of Ma Yunlu, desperately suppressing the offensive of the rebels at the head of the city.
Jiang Xu, Liang Kuan, Jiang Yin, Yin Feng, Wang Ling, You Chu, Su Ze and other rebel generals galloped back and forth along the front line of the city, commanding their respective camps, and attacking Chang'an City wave after wave.
This offensive lasted for an hour, and during this hour the rebels did their best, and the attack never stopped from beginning to end.
Under the strong attack of an hour, Chang'an City was already devastated, the most tragic West Gate line, the city gate was even burned by the rebels' rushing fire team, Gao Rou and others had to dispatch elite soldiers. Holding the giant tree to fix the bad door.
Of course, in order to achieve this effect, the rebels also paid more than 5,000 dead and wounded, and layers of corpses were piled up under the walls of Chang'an, and the blood that flowed out even dyed the water of the moat bright red, dazzling and chilling.
Even though the casualties of the rebels were so large, Yan Xing and Meng Jian did not give the order to temporarily withdraw their troops.
Although the casualties of the Liangzhou army and Qianghu were not small. However, the defenders of Chang'an City suffered heavy casualties under their own blows, and Chang'an City was already like a candle in the wind at this moment, and it only needed to add another breath to wipe out. In this situation, how can we withdraw troops?
In fact, the situation is indeed as Yan Xing and Meng Jian thought, Chang'an City is already at the end of the crossbow at this moment, and the soldiers defending the city have suffered heavy casualties. The people who helped the city were either injured or exhausted, and Chang'an City was in danger.
Many thirteen or fourteen-year-old children squatted beside their dead relatives, whimpering and crying loudly.
Cai Yan stood under the city. Looking at the corpses placed on the edge of the city, the pain in my heart cannot be expressed in words.
The people of Chang'an, in order to help defend the city and consolidate their homeland. One by one, they fell under the blades of the rebels and Qianghu, and the order in the city was already uneven, and the women and children screamed. The old man's weeping, the child's crying, pierced her scarred heart like sharp arrows.
Outside the city, the rebels' offensive continued.
"Huh!"
A stray arrow shot on the forehead of a sixty-year-old man guarding the city, and blood overflowed, but seeing the old man's figure swayed, and then his body was crooked, he fell towards the city, and the red glow filled the air, which couldn't help but break people's hearts.
"rebels, fight with them!" When the soldiers saw this, they didn't care about the pain on their bodies, and they looked up to the sky and roared.
Cai Yan's eyes were moist again.
The general trend has fallen, is Chang'an City really going to follow the old road of Luoyang, and there is no way to save it?
…………
…………
"Woo woo woo ~ ~!"
Behind the battlefield in the south, a loud horn suddenly sounded!
But seeing that a Biao army had rushed to the slope of the wilderness not far from the battlefield, he was a general, wearing a white tiger bright silver helmet, wearing a heavenly iron armor, wearing a Xichuan splendid Shu brocade robe, and a white-rod armor-piercing gun in his hand, as if the gods had descended into the world.
On the city wall, Ma Yunlu's pale face instantly returned to blood, and a pair of empty eyes also showed brilliance.
"That's my brother! It's my big brother! Chang'an is saved, saved! ”
Cai Yan's heart also turned from dead to alive with Ma Yunlu's chanting, and she looked at the soldiers and horses that suddenly came out in the distance in a daze, and an idea suddenly rose in her mind......
Ma Chao appeared, so he, is he also there?
Both the Chang'an army and the rebel army were attracted by this army.
Yan Xing turned his head and squinted at the white horse and silver spear general who was leading in the distance, and after only looking at it, his face suddenly turned a little blue.
"Ma Mengqi!"
Ma Chao was separated by the military formation, and he naturally saw the handsome bear and tiger in black armor in the rebel formation!
"Yan Yanming!"
The eyes of the two of them even if they are separated by thousands of troops and horses, they seem to be able to splash fierce sparks in the air, these two people were the Yuan family when they were young, one is the eldest son of Ma Teng's knees, and the other is Han Sui's son-in-law and capable minister, there are many grudges and grievances, and the battle of life and death is even more unknown.
The world is changing, and today the two of them have changed from being Yuan Shang's retainers to opposing generals again!
"Charge!" As soon as Ma Chao flicked the silver spear in his hand, he saw that the cavalry behind him was like a tide, charging towards the rebels' wings.
Where Ma Chao's iron cavalry passed, the three armies were unstoppable! The most terrifying thing is that among the Qiang rebels commanded by Yan Xing, many Qianghu warriors and handsomes saw Ma Chao's banner, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even speak, so they could only dodge one after another. General Tian is lucky! ”
Like a wolf like a tiger, worship like a god! Xiliang Jin Ma Chao is a great god in the Qiang tribe, and no one in the world can match it! That's not awe, it's not respect, it's a natural fear, a natural timidity!
General Shenweitian, in the hearts of the Qiang people, the true meaning of these five words is the evil god of hell! It's the devil's call! It's a completely different horror than Tengger, and it's a completely different horror than Kunlun God!
That's the horror of death!
"Horse thief, dare to do this?!" Yan Xing saw that the Qianghu troops on the left flank almost did not dare to fight Ma Chao. They fled in all directions, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and then sat down with a dozen black horses, lifted the iron spine and just pointed the spear, turned his head to Meng Jiandao: "Mr. sits in the three armies on my behalf, and I will personally kill Ma Chao!" ”
Meng Jian didn't speak, just touched his beard, thoughtfully, and nodded after a while.
In the midst of the rebels, the drums of war beat. The cavalry Sihe, Yan Xing's black horse and black armor, led the Chinese army to ride, like a black hurricane, through the heavy soldiers and horses, roaring towards Ma Chao's fierce rush past.
Ma Chao's department, through the army through the formation is like entering a no-man's land, Yan Xing's department, the goal is directly aimed at Ma Chao, which is also the three armies. In an instant, these two half-life rivals who were in Liangzhou in the past have met.
Yan Xing's spear was raised, and he pointed at Ma Chao and said, "White-robed horse thief!" What kind of ability is it to bully others, dare to fight Lily alone with your General Yan! ”
Ma Chao didn't even say a word. just raised his hand, and then led the iron cavalry towards Yan Xing to kill, soldier to soldier, general to general, Ma Chao did not look at others. Fight Yan Xing alone!
"Bell Lang~~" There was a loud bang, and the silver spear collided with the iron spear, and a roaring sound echoed endlessly. The black and white figures were staggered, and Ma Chao and Yan Xing faced each other head-on, and finally started a fight.
Ma Chao flipped the silver spear in his hand, and in the face of the traitor Yan Xing, he actually laughed, that kind of smile is not the smile that people should have, but it is a bit like the laughter of a beast. When he saw Yan Xing, he was like a wolf's prey, with a pair of black eyes radiating the light of blood.
The biggest stain on Ma Chao's life is the defeat that fell on Yan Xing when he was young, he thought that there was no chance to recover it in this life, and he didn't want Yan Xing to rebel, and he suddenly became the opposite of himself!
Between the two, the spear waved, and the loud sound of dangdang was endless, and the people next to him could no longer see the figures of Yan Xing and Ma Chao clearly, but in a trance, they watched the black and white two absolute shadows intertwined, attacking back and forth, and their speed was like flying.
In the rear of Ma Chao's forward iron cavalry army, Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses had also arrived in time, observing the battle in the distance, Yuan Shang did not rush to order the rear to assist in the attack, but just ordered the three armies to stand by and be ready to attack at any time.
In the middle of the battlefield, the fierce battle between Ma Chao and Yan Xing was the most intense, and it was also the most eye-catching, Ma Dai was stationed beside Yuan Shang, his eyes were closely observing the situation in the venue, and the cold sweat on his forehead brushed directly.
"My lord, Yan Xing is brave, and his prestige is not under my eldest brother in Xizhou...... The elder brother is only afraid that he will not be able to take him, and the last general is willing to lead the troops to help! Help Big Brother defeat Yan Xing! ”
Yuan Shang's eyelids were slightly heavy, his eyes flickered, and he was silent on the surface, but in fact, his head was running rapidly, weighing the pros and cons.
After thinking for a while, he saw Yuan Shang shake his head and said, "Wait!" ”
Ma Dai was a little anxious, and said, "Lord, it's all this time, what are you waiting for?" ”
Yuan Shang took a deep breath and said, "Wait for Yan Xing to withdraw his troops!" ”
“…………”
In the rear of the rebels, the rebels' soldiers and horses are on the platform.
Meng Jian touched his beard and listened carefully to the report of the scout below, and the more he listened, the deeper his face became.
"In other words, Zhao Ang did not abide by the generals, did not hold on, fought head-on with Yuan Shang, and was defeated in a battle, and even his own head was taken off by Pang De?"
The scout's face remained unchanged, and he nodded solemnly when he heard this.
"The Hanba army and horses are all soldiers, what means did Yuan Shang use to actually improve his combat power to this, and he can defeat Zhao Ang in one battle......"
Meng Jian said to himself: "In this way, I have to reestimate the combat power of the 70,000 soldiers and horses under his command...... It's not impossible to go head-to-head, it's just that there is still a Song Jian in the south of Liangzhou, and we are fighting to the death with Yuan Shang, even if we win, it is not this Song Lao'er who will benefit...... Gotta get him in......"
Speaking of this, Meng Jian turned his head to look at Chang'an City, which was already at the end of the crossbow, and sighed regretfully.
"Order the three armies, Mingjin withdraws troops!" Meng Jian decisively gave the order.
"............" (To be continued......)
