Chapter 222: Hard-hitting

On the second day, Ma Chao began to command his soldiers to begin a tentative siege.

Previously, Yunshan used the method of introducing Ma Play and Cheng Yi into the city and then annihilating them on the spot, and after Cheng Gongying's research, he believed that Ma Play Cheng Yi was light to the enemy, and the follow-up soldiers and horses were unfavorable to support the main factors of failure.

Ma Chao instructed his subordinates that if the enemy still gave up the outer city this time, they should immediately open the city gate, and at the same time guard against the ignition in the city, not blindly grab food, but seize the commanding heights, etc.

After entering the city, the plan has been fully designed, and Ma Chao is confident that there will never be the mistake of being killed and defeated after Cheng Yi entered the city.

But when they were ready to go the next day, they were stunned to find that Chang'an was no longer a question of whether they could get in.

The thick walls of Chang'an City were hung with a layer of silver frost, which was actually covered with thick ice, spreading from the city gate to the city wall, and the transparent ice reflected the charming sunlight, and everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

In early winter, it was already extremely cold, dripping into ice.

Kuai Yue began to command everyone to sprinkle water on the city wall of Chang'an last night, and sure enough, a thick layer of ice formed today, which made the rebels who were not good at attacking the city even more dizzy.

Such a thick ice ......

How can this siege be?

It's all here, and there's no other way now.

Ma Chao personally commanded the battle and ordered his subordinates to observe whether Chang'an City was covered with ice crystals everywhere.

The result surprised them very much - the Yunshan army actually did not sprinkle water and freeze on the side of Han Sui's garrison.

This is obviously Yun Shan's ulterior motives, Ma Chao could have joined Han Sui to attack the fortifications, but the generals in Guanzhong had their own ghosts, knowing that this should be Yun Shan deliberately disgusting people, but they still had to turn around and return to the side covered by ice.

is still the same sentence, Ma Chao and Han Sui were originally because of the alliance of interests, when they attacked each other before, Cao Cao sent people to make peace, purely in terms of hatred, the hatred of these two people far exceeded the hatred of Cao Cao.

Ma Chao studied the deployment position of Yunshan, and first ordered the forward 500 people to try to climb forward.

Han Sui was still righteous, not only lent Ma Chao the siege ladder that had been built before, but also took the initiative to launch an attack, starting from the direction of Nancheng to launch a fierce attack on Chang'an, preparing to fill in the way for Ma Chao's command to open the way for the attack with human lives.

Knowing that Han Sui was so powerful, Ma Chao also put away the previous Xiao Jiujiu.

He personally supervised the battle, expanded the siege of the city to 3,000 soldiers, and ordered Pound to lead a thousand men back to the east of the city to continue the attack and disperse the enemy's forces.

This was a rare large-scale siege attack by the Guanzhong coalition army, and it was also the first time since Guanping led the army to face so many enemy sieges.

Han Sui and Ma Chao, the two strongest forces in the rebel army, were covered with blood everywhere they went, and Cao Ren, who dared to hold out in Jiangling for half a year, did not even dare to stay in the siege of the two for a long time, and escaped all the way out of Guanzhong.

But Yunshan actually invited himself to be surrounded, and he threw himself into a desperate situation.

The warm sunshine of the cold winter noon could not dispel the solemn color of the battle between the two armies, and the main forces of the rebels were dressed in iron armor, with solemn expressions and arrogant expressions, and the courage and heroism of stepping through the world made them full of confidence.

It's not the first time that Chang'an has been trampled under their feet, and this time it will definitely succeed.

The myth of the invincibility of the Han army has been shattered for a long time, and the Han Dudu and General Ma are here, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, they will definitely be able to break it.

The banner flew like a wave of the sea, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the rebel formation in the south and north of the city remembered the dense and violent drumbeat at the same time, and countless rebels did not shout to kill, but raised the wooden shield of one person in their hands, and thousands of people unfolded, silently and firmly walked towards Chang'an.

Han Sui waited for Ma Chao in these days to build a ladder and a watchtower, he gave an order, Cheng Gongying personally stepped forward to supervise the battle, one after another under the cover of the shield array gradually approached, slammed into the city, piles of Liangzhou soldiers climbed rapidly, like a wild wolf spread its claws, vowing to tear this fortified city to pieces.

The city wall was tall, and Guan Ping could clearly see the direction of Han Sui's army moving when he stood at the head of the city, and he knew the movements of the rebels well.

But the battle has reached this level, it is no longer a conspiracy to dissolve, Han Sui and Ma Chao absorbed the lesson of the defeat of Ma Chengyi last time, and regarded Yunshan in the city as one of the strongest opponents they had to face in this battle.

"General, Ma Chao has increased his troops!"

"General, Han Sui has also increased his troops!"

"General, there seems to be another thief in the east of the city!"

The surrounding military situation continued to converge towards Guan Ping, and the young general, who was not yet eighteen years old, frowned thickly, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He originally expected that Ma Chao and Han Sui would hesitate a little after seeing this ice city, but he didn't expect that the two of them who had been on the battlefield for a long time had already seen the importance of this battle, so they simply didn't hesitate anymore and went all out as soon as they came up.

Chang'an, they are determined to win!

Kuai Yue's face was pale, Shen Tan's face was pale, and Wen Ping's face was extremely ugly.

Only Chen Qun, who had experienced the battle of Guandu, had a leisurely face, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be amazed, secretly saying that Ma Chao Han Sui was worthy of being the elite of the rebels, far from being comparable to those soldiers who had no military discipline.

In a moment, the rebels had filled in the moat, and Cheng Gongying, who was standing at the head of the city, saw that the Yunshan army upstairs did not release arrows, but instead lifted out a large cauldron, and frowned slightly, and slowly retracted his fingers, but after all, there was no warning,

"Keep attacking!"

With his call, the Liangzhou army pressed a wooden ladder on the head of the city, and a large number of soldiers began to climb up with their hands and feet, Guan Ping nodded at Kuai Yue on the side, Kuai Yue took a deep breath, and said coldly:

"Pour water!"

The boiling water that had been prepared at the head of the city and the gold juice that exuded a strong stench were quickly sprinkled along the wooden ladder, and there were immediately bursts of screams and screams from under the city, and chaos immediately began to appear in the previously strict Liangzhou army formation.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Kuai Yue gave another order, and the archers of the Yunshan Army took turns to step forward and release their arrows with expressionless faces, and the dense rain of arrows specifically shot the soldiers who landed in the city, and the sergeants screamed continuously, struggling in pain in the pinching of various city defense equipment.

Han Sui and Cheng Gongying looked at this tragic scene, but there was no additional pain and fear on their faces.

Cheng Gongying waved the order flag again, and another group of soldiers approached quickly, either carrying wooden ladders or pushing cloud ladders.

In order to pursue speed, Han Suijun did not carry too many craftsmen before, and the siege equipment he made was not very good.

But now that he had made up his mind, Han Sui decided to use the oldest siege method of human beings - Ant Possession!

The simplest, most classic, completely ignoring the bells and whistles skills, a team of Liangzhou soldiers went forward and one after another, just lost five hundred people, and there were a thousand people behind them, the boiling water gold juice used by the Yunshan army was limited after all, and the archers of the Liangzhou army stood at the top of the large cloud ladder, pushed close by their companions, and threw a rain of arrows on the city tower.

The soldiers of the Yunshan Army on the tower of the city were all concentrating on coping, where can there be more exquisite archery skills of the Liangzhou soldiers, and soon a large number of casualties appeared.

With the appearance of dead and wounded, the defense of the city has begun to appear to send some, and one after another large cloud ladders instantly leaned up, and more and more Liangzhou soldiers climbed onto Chang'an City.

Cheng Gongying slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to wave the banner vigorously, Han Sui set his eyes on Yan Xing, gentle and authentic;

"Yanming, it's your turn."

Yan Xing's eyes showed a slight hint of struggle, but he quickly made up his mind.

"Okay, the young general must go all out!"

ยท

Han Sui did his best, and Ma Chao in the north of the city was not ambiguous.

The cold wind blew the yellow sand and added a bit of sadness to the battlefield, and a large number of Liangzhou soldiers began to climb the ice city with the help of cloud ladders, trying to pass through the towering city wall and inflict casualties on the enemies at the head of the city.

But the arrow battlements at the head of the city were also sprinkled with a lot of water, and the ice crystals had been frozen to the wide city tower, and many Liangzhou soldiers who had finally climbed in wanted to jump onto the city wall with the help of the depth of the arrow battlements at the head of the city, but this force immediately slipped under their feet and fell from the towering city wall.

The catapult when Zhong Xiang was running Chang'an was also carried up the tower, throwing stones at the approaching large ladder, and the soldiers on it complained bitterly.

Shen Tan, who was dispatching operations in Nancheng, saw this kind of scene for the first time, and he was a little weak for a while when he was the king and hegemon in Shangyong, which showed that Wen Ping was calm and kept firing arrows to kill the enemy, and Shen Tan also mustered up the courage to constantly kill the enemy who jumped up the tower.

But there were more and more Liangzhou soldiers, several large ladders were not destroyed by catapults, they had been attached to the city wall, a group of soldiers jumped up, although most of them were immediately hacked to death, but more than half of them landed in the city and gained a firm foothold, and then more Liangzhou soldiers rushed in and killed several soldiers who operated trebuchets.

Shen Tan was furious, and hurriedly pounced, and the spears full of blood continued to assassinate, but he resisted the enemy's attack and pushed back the Liangzhou soldiers who had just landed in the city.

Under his encouragement, all the generals of the Yunshan army also roared forward, forming a dense jungle with a forest of spears, Rao is those Liangzhou soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but as soon as they ascended the city tower, they were poked to the ground covered in blood, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

But just when Shen Tan thought that his spear array was enough to block all the Liangzhou soldiers' descent into the city, he heard a burst of shouts in his ears, and a tall man jumped up from the cloud ladder and fell down like a cloud.

This man was dressed in sackcloth, not wearing armor, only wearing a scarf, and he was bleeding uncontrollably from an arrow, but he didn't know it, and after landing in the city, he rolled on the spot, and the sound of snorting behind him continued, and countless spears were stunned that they did not nail him to the ground.

Shen Tan subconsciously swung his spear and wanted to stab him to death, but the man propped up on the ground with his hand, jumped up violently, and quickly grabbed an iron spear, avoiding Shen Tan's killing blow in a flash of lightning.

Shen Tan roared angrily and quickly caught up, but the man's spear shook, it was really like a dragon, an iron spear seemed to be alive in his hand, although Shen Tan was flexible but still couldn't dodge, he was stabbed in the thigh fiercely, and couldn't help screaming.

"Who are you?" He said with difficulty.

The man sneered, and the iron spear swept backwards like a long eye on his back, and Wen Ping, who just wanted to sneak attack from behind, sighed, and a terrifying bloody wound had been drawn on the back of his hand.

"Who else ......" Wen Ping gritted his teeth and said, "He's Ma Chao!" Only Ma Chao has such martial arts! โ€
