The drums in the city were loud, Li San led the troops out of the city, the two formations were in a circle, and he raised his sword and shouted: "Call Ma Chao to come!" ”

Fu Shuang said coldly: "Just a thief, you are not worthy of fighting General Ma." ”

Li San was furious, urging the horse to fight with Fu Shuang, the two fought under the city, about more than ten battles, Li San was secretly shocked, sure enough, the people and horses brought by Ma Chao were much more powerful than the defenders of Jincheng County, and they knew that they were invincible, so they turned the horse back to the battle.

Fu Shuang chased after him, Jiang Shi immediately gave the order to release arrows, these thieves have also been trained many times, some rules, arrows were fired in front of the formation, the two wings protected Li San, and slowly retreated to the city.

Fu Shuang had no choice but to return to the battle, and the two of them quit their troops, and the strong end laughed and said: "It's a pity, if this king makes a move, how can he call this thief back?" ”

Fu Shuang said angrily: "You have the ability!" ”

Yang Fu saw that everyone was about to quarrel again, and persuaded: "We are ordered to quell the rebellion, and we should be the same enemy, and the great enemy is present, and the kings do not need to argue, so as not to be laughed at." ”

Ma Chao also turned around and admonished: "Discord between generals and commanders is a taboo for soldiers, and it is worth fighting for merit, but not fighting." ”

"Yes!" The strong end of the few people looked dazed, bowed down and agreed, and stood aside quietly.

They are just short-tempered and disagree with each other, but they have great respect for Ma Chao, and they were reminded by Yang Fu that their anger in their hearts has calmed down a lot, as the lord of one party, they should also have their own mind and bearing, otherwise they will only be laughed at.

Yang Fu nodded secretly, and asked Ma Chao to divide his troops to set up camp, transport the grain and grass across the shore, prepare siege equipment, and form an encirclement of Tucheng.

Li San returned to the city, Jiang Shi sank like water on the city, Ma Chao did not make a move, he suffered a defeat, and the situation was not optimistic.

The Han army under the city was encamping, carrying bows and arrows, assembling equipment, watching the tall catapults and wells erected for a moment, everyone became nervous, their equipment was far inferior to that of officers and soldiers, and even the most basic bow and arrow range was two or three zhang behind.

Jiang Shi smashed his fist on the city wall, gritted his teeth and said: "I can't fight and fight, and I can't defend it, why haven't the reinforcements arrived?" ”

The thin monkey said: "Big brother is angry, then Liu Qi sent Ma Chao to help, just to use his name to suppress us and others." If you don't leave without a fight, you will be laughed at by everyone, and we won't be able to gain a foothold in Xiliang in the future. ”

Jiang Shi said impatiently: "Big deal, Lao Tzu will surrender!" ”

The thin monkey hurriedly motioned to Jiang Shi and whispered: "Big brother, we killed Jincheng Taishou, but we are afraid of ......"

"Hmph, I'm just talking angry!" Jiang Shi snorted coldly and ordered the defenders to prepare bows and arrows, wood, etc. to prepare for battle.

An hour later, the Han army finished the formation, the front army shields pressed the formation, the rear crossbowmen were ready to attack, along the frozen moat, a row of catapults slowly started, and the hard crossbows on the well were shot out, with a heart-palpitating howl.

The sky was full of stone rain and smashed down on the head and face, and several crossbow arrows directly pierced the two people, how could the thief army in the city have never seen such a battle, and they were killed hundreds of people without fighting, and they hid behind the city wall and did not dare to raise their heads.

The rush then started and drove under the city gates, and the thieves hurriedly released arrows, threw down ash bottles, and burned straw handles, but the soldiers hid under the open wings, and the top was covered with an iron plate, which was of no avail.

Before they could launch a second counterattack, the catapult attacked again, so they had to hide under the city wall with another headshot, and occasionally stones fell on the cart, which did no harm.

Bang –

In the huge impact sound, the city wall trembled, and the sand fell, this is the city wall built with loess, how can it withstand such an impact, the thief army all changed their faces miserably.

The seemingly sturdy wooden gate was vulnerable to the rushing carts loaded with iron cones, and after three or four strikes, the gate was knocked open.

However, Jiang Shi saw that the situation was not good, so he ordered people to carry sand and soil as soon as possible, blocked the city gate road, and temporarily relieved the crisis, but there were no people standing on the city, and this battle could not be fought at all.

At the foot of the city wall, Jiang Shi was wounded by a crossbow arrow in the shoulder, and he jumped like thunder with his hand on the wound, and roared angrily: "I, Jiang Shi Hero I, have I ever been so cowardly? If I don't take revenge, I will not be a man. ”

When he was angry, Li San ran in from outside and hurriedly said, "I'm going to the north gate again." ”

Jiang Shi's face changed slightly, and he ordered: "Quickly, block the north gate as well." ”

Li San walked away quickly, Jiang Shi looked at the thin monkey, gritted his teeth and said, "After dark, we will withdraw first, leaving those Qiang soldiers to defend the city." ”

The thin monkey listened to the muffled sound of the boulder falling outside, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he offered advice: "The officers and soldiers are in a hurry to attack the city, and they have not rested since they crossed the river, and they must be tired tonight, so it is better to go and rob the camp." If we win, our brothers will be able to make a name for themselves, and if we don't, it will not be too late to retreat. ”

"This plan is very good, the rabbit is anxious and bites, not to mention my greedy wolf?" Jiang Shi smiled coldly and ordered: "You go and tell those Qiang people to avenge Lianku tonight, let them attack the northern camp, and we will fight the southern camp." ”

The Han army turned to attack the north gate, and the thief army was also beaten so that they couldn't raise their heads, and the corpses on the city were all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river, and the defenders had already blocked the city gate road.

At dusk, the Han army finally retreated back to the camp to rest, Jiang Shi inspected the city, his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Who the hell got these weapons, I will do his eighteenth generation ancestor——"

Thinking that when he attacked Jincheng, more than half of the men and horses under his command were lost, the blood under the city flowed like a river, and the bones were trampled into bloody mud, and now he defends the city, but the dead and wounded have become the defenders, except for the rocks, there is no corpse under the city, is there any reason for this?

The sunset in the depths of winter was dim, and the bloody corpses were quickly frozen into ice, making them more and more bloody and terrifying.

After the third watch of the night, Jiang Shi personally led the army out of the south gate, and the Qiang cavalry went around the west gate to the north gate, and went straight to the east gate to rob the village with the fire as the signal.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, Li San had already led people to investigate the situation, the Han army tossed all day, and sure enough, the soldiers were tired, and the weather was cold and freezing, and they had already rested, and there were not even a few soldiers on patrol.

Jiang Shi was overjoyed, led the troops close to the camp, ordered Li San to light the fire, and killed the officers and soldiers together.

"Fame is tonight, kill!" Jiang Shi saw the flames in the camp, thought that he had a plan, and divided into three ways with the three brothers, and rushed straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.

The camp tent in front of him was in front of him, and the figures around him were scurrying, Jiang Shi was excited, slapped his horse and danced his knife and rushed forward, and laughed: "Ma Chao, you are lucky this time!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the door of the tent was suddenly opened, the torch was lit, and I saw a person in the tent draped all over his body, a white horse in a brocade robe, a tiger head gun in his hand, his eyes were like electricity, and he said slowly: "Jiang thief, Ma has been waiting for a long time!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Shi was shocked, and hurriedly pulled the silk reins, and the mount man stood up, and said in a trembling voice: "Mistake, mistake, mistake...... Misunderstand! ”

"Misunderstanding, Ann dares to break into my camp?" Ma Chao squinted at the panicked Jiang Shi, smiled coldly, and lightly knocked the horse's belly, and the war horse flew out like an arrow off the string.

"I'm here to surrender!" Jiang Shi was at a loss, turned his horse and fled, shouting: "Don't come here, don't come over...... Ahh
