Yuan Shang's direct order almost didn't give Hao Zhao an urgent urge at that time, he was not frightened, Hao Zhao was still relatively confident in his military ability in all aspects, the problem was that Yuan Shang's direct appointment and trust level was really beyond Hao Zhao's expectations, there were so many generals present, and any one of them was much older than his Hao Zhao's age and seniority, but Yuan Shang did not appoint them, but only appointed himself, what a care and trust. Appoint yourself as the governor of the city, and you can dispatch all the soldiers and horses in the city at will, even including Yuan Shangben.

Now Hao Zhao's mood is really appropriate to describe it with four big words of flattery!

Glancing at Yuan Shang deeply, Hao Zhao arched his hand at Yuan Shang with some horror, and whispered: "Lord, what you said is not a joke?" ”

Yuan Shang smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and patted Hao Zhao's shoulder encouragingly, and said, "The military aircraft is a big event, how can it be child's play?" Since Yuan said it in public, he should fulfill his words and never regret it! I said that you, the governor of Chang'an City, you are the governor of Chang'an City, and you dare not question it! ”

Yuan Shang's side, including Sima Yi and Zhang Jaw, were all secretly shocked in their hearts, such bold words, that is, they could only hear from the mouths of their white spoon lords, appointing such a young junior general with such a heavy responsibility, in exchange for ordinary entry, who has the courage, who has the courage?

The question is, can Hao Zhao really meet Yuan Shang's expectations, everyone can't help but start muttering to themselves in their hearts.

Not only all the generals, but also Hao Zhao is very apprehensive now, if it is in modern times, he will definitely shout at Yuan Shang: "Happy foolishness!" "But the problem is now the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there is no such thing as foolishness, and even if there is, it will definitely not happen in the realm of Middle-earth first!

Swallowing softly, Hao Zhao whispered to Yuan Shang, "But, my lord...... In the next, the young age, the generals present in terms of seniority and seniority are far above my Hao Zhao, and the lord appointed me to this position, but I am afraid that it will be...... I can't convince the public. ”

Yuan Shang waved his hand and said proudly: "They dare!" Hao Zhao, you have to have confidence in yourself, even I think so highly of you, do you still look down on yourself? What about being young? As long as you have enough talent and ability, it may not necessarily be old and popular, you look at me, I am not very old, I am still the lord of Hebei, the hero of the four states! Awesome like Cao Cāo, when he saw me, he still trembled! You are the general I personally appointed, even if you are suspicious of yourself, do you still have doubts about my discernment? Let's go to a thousand~! I'm sure you can! ”

When Hao Zhao heard this, he suddenly looked at him for a while, and his face was quite hesitant, at this moment, because of Yuan Shang's encouraging words, he suddenly became full of perseverance and enthusiasm, he turned his head and quietly glanced deeply at the Xiliang army who was slowly striding towards Chang'an City, and then shouted loudly: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

"In!"

With Yuan Shang's words, which of all the generals of the Yuan army dared to show Hao Zhao's face at this moment, because if he didn't give face, he wouldn't give Yuan Shang face!

"All the soldiers and horses, I have been divided into various echelons on the city wall, and the generals will go to each department in order, responsible for the overall planning and deployment, and they must not attack without my order! Just wait for the flag, wait for the unified appointment, and the violator will ......"

Speaking of this, Hao Zhao didn't dare to talk nonsense to Lu Xia at will, and the violators ...... What can he do with the violators, does he still have the right to dispose of them?

However, Hao Zhao didn't expect that at such a moment, Yuan Shang stood up and relieved him of the embarrassment!

"Those who violate the order will be killed! Kill it! The Dog's Serving...... Right? General Hao? Yuan Shang continued with a smile.

Hao Zhao nodded lightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Yes! ”

The generals went according to their orders, and they each performed their duties according to their positions, waiting for Hao Zhao's order to be conveyed in order to attack.

The soldiers and horses of the Xiliang army are getting closer and closer, but Hao Zhao has no order, and the crowd has only won Yuan Shangzhijing, although he is anxious, he does not dare to make a move easily, so he can only wait quietly for him to say something.

It wasn't until the enemy army approached within a hundred steps of the city that he heard Hao Zhao shouting loudly: "Put the flag, order the crossbowmen to prepare Qi shè~!" ”

As Hao Zhao's words fell, he listened to the sound of drums and horns, and all the crossbowmen came to the first line of the city under the command of the generals led by the various departments.

Due to the accuracy of the position and the ripe time, this batch of arrow rain shè will come out, but it has achieved the greatest killing effect, but listen to the rain of arrows "brush ~~!" The sound flew by, and I saw that the front and middle front of the Xiliang Army suddenly turned over on their backs, and countless soldiers and horses fell to the ground in the flying arrows, and their bodies were trampled by the advancing soldiers in the rear, which suddenly set off a bloody storm.

On the city wall, the generals of the Yuan army were overjoyed when they saw that the blow was successful, and they ordered the crossbowmen to continue to attack, but they didn't want Hao Zhao's order to be issued again, but they ordered all the soldiers to stop firing arrows, wait for the bow, and not attack without authorization.

Although the generals were surprised, they obeyed the order, and only ordered the archers to retreat, fully armed and waiting for the order to attack at any time.

And in this gap, the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang army had already come to the city, and they began to set up ladders and drive cars, preparing to attack Chang'an City.

However, it was at this time that Hao Zhao's order was once again issued along with the flag.

The hot hot water and boulders rumbled towards the city, the attack formation was huge, but it seemed orderly because of the proper command, the climbing soldiers under the city were jammed because of the scramble at the moment, and it was too late to dodge at the moment, but seeing the huge rolling stones and hot water scattered in the formation of the Xiliang army, countless climbing soldiers and horses were covered in blood, and fell down from the city wall in mid-air with a roar, pressing on the soldiers behind them, and suddenly caused a huge mess, and the pace of the Yuan army was calm, After the rolling stones were almost used for hot water, there were countless throwing troops holding sharpened wooden sticks and bamboo branches, and threw them fiercely, one ring after another, one button after another, and scattered flowers in the enemy's formation.

This retreat is good, just in time for the crossbowmen to prepare again, but seeing that all the crossbowmen have already moved forward with their bows, this time they have used oil arrows and fire crossbow arrows, and the two are combined, and they are fiercely towards the Xiliang army.

At this moment, the wind direction is not good, all towards the side of the Xiliang Army, although the fire is not big, but it also immediately caused a huge panic in its formation, into the class is an animal that is afraid of fire, this rocket down, although the damage is far less than the attack of the two groups, but in the Jing God fiercely suppressed the Xiliang Army, the Xiliang Army screamed and fled, scrambling to avoid the dyed place, and suddenly the team was in chaos, the formation was uneven, and the charging team became chaotic for a while.

A series of orders and actions have already fallen in Yuan Shang's eyes, Yuan Shang couldn't help but secretly stretched out his thumb, and praised Sima Yi beside him: "Not arrogant or impatient, proper tactics, accurate timing, with the smallest resources to give the enemy the greatest damage and blow, Hao Zhao's method of defending the city is really unique, very accessible." ”

Sima Yi was also full of admiration at this moment, and nodded heavily and said: "Hao Zhao's skills are extraordinary, and he is a real general!" The Lord's ability to know and enter is beyond the reach of the world, and Yi is really admired! ”

Compared with the lord and advantage of Yuan Shang's side, in the Xiliang army formation, Ma Chao watched his long-standing powerful offensive become vulnerable under the opponent's understatement, and couldn't help gritting his teeth in anger, Fang wanted to stop the soldiers and horses from attacking again, but when he saw a horse riding beside him, it was Pang De who whispered to Ma Chao.

"Major General, the city of Chang'an is strong, our army is tired from afar, and the other party is well prepared, and there is a way to defend the city, if you continue to attack, you are afraid that the damage will be too great, and it is not advisable, it is better to camp for the time being, in order to seek a good strategy, rectify the troops and horses, and wait for all the preparations to be sufficient, and then it is not too late to attack the city."

Hearing this, Ma Chao raised his head and glanced at the city wall angrily, and then still had a trace of expectation, and shouted at Yuan Shang, who was vaguely visible.

"Yuan Shang, in vain, you are also the master of one party, you are a hero, in the face of my soldiers and horses, you actually cowered in the city and did not come out, are you a turtle? If you have the guts, you might as well lead the troops out, and let's face to face, divided into high and low! Do you dare or not? ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard this, and saluted Ma Chao in return: "General Ma's kindness, Yuan has understood it, do you want to face to face with our army?" So be it! When it's convenient for me, I will naturally meet your request, how about it? ”

When Ma Chao heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said, "When it's convenient for you?" What do you mean by that? Ben won't understand! ”

On the city wall, Yuan Shang smiled and didn't say anything, but it was Sima Yi beside him who shouted at Ma Chao loudly: "What my lord means is that he is inconvenient now!" You can't even understand such a simple word? What's on your neck? ”

Ma Chao: "............"

Ma Chao attacked Chang'an, and the results of the first battle were soon flown to Cao Ying by his subordinates and reported to Cao Cāo.

After Cao Cāo heard this, he immediately summoned Xun You and Cheng Yu to discuss countermeasures.

"Yuan Shang Xiao'er, it's really not easy to deal with, Ma Chao's first battle in Chang'an City, the siege was fruitless, and he lost a lot of horses, it seems that this move to seize Chang'an, Yuan Shang Xiao'er is very good." Cao Cāo tapped lightly on the table and said to Er.

Cheng Yu touched his beard and didn't speak, but Xun You thought about it for a while, and said: "Yuan Shang's move is wonderful, we might as well see the move, now Yuan Shang and Ma Chao are relative to Chang'an, this is the best opportunity for Ming Gong to persuade all the princes in Guanzhong to throw their hands on our white spoon, if we can take advantage of Yuan Shang's difficult to separate the situation, the princes will be included in the command, forming a trend of closing the door and fighting the dog, even if he Yuan Shang has Chang'an City, what can he do?" In the end, isn't it the end of being trapped by our soldiers and horses? ”
