Just when Ma Jian was strange, he saw Meng Guo hurriedly leading the troops back, and he exhaled a long breath when he saw that Ma Jian was fine.

"General, you're okay, I'm scared to death, I thought you were injured by Hao Zhao."

"Hao Zhao? If he runs slower, he will be caught by our general! Shu Ji said with a smile when he heard this, and pointed to the loot and captives all over the ground to show Meng Guo.

Seeing that this was a big victory, Meng Guo suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

"Oh no, I've been tricked! Missed a chance to take Chencang in vain? ”

At that time, the Wudang Fei army under his command was about to attack the city gate, and the reserves had not yet been used. If he had known that he Hao Zhao had fled back in defeat, he could even capture Hao Zhao while taking Chen Cang.

Still careless!

Meng Guo greatly regretted his carelessness, and a huge battle feats flowed through his hands.

"It doesn't matter! There is no need to blame ourselves for anything, even if we take Chen Cang, we can't hold it. Ma Jian shook his head, not very concerned about this.

He sent Meng Guo to vote for Chen Cang to scratch the lottery ticket, and it was nothing if he couldn't scratch it.

Even if he takes Chen Cang, it is unlikely that he will be able to hold it, after all, he is not Hao Zhao. Once the Wei army heard that Chen Cang was lost, they would definitely raise a large army to take it.

Now that Zhuge Liang has returned to Chengdu, the new thorn history of Longyou doesn't know if it can be used, and Chen Cang's designation can't be kept.

Therefore, Ma Tan's purpose is to demolish, as long as Chen Cang is broken, so that the Wei army cannot defend it accordingly.

Hao Zhao fled back this time, and it is estimated that he will not dare to leave the city for a long time. It just so happens that the things that Zijun built for me are about to arrive, and we are ready to start demolishing! ”

Ma Yan's ambush almost made Hao Zhao lose face, and basically the soldiers of the entire Chen Cang looked at him with a little more contempt in their eyes.

It seems that this coach is really a showman, he can be killed by the Shu army when he goes out for a night attack!

At the same time, Hao Zhao's headquarters also lost more than half of his troops and horses in this battle, and several loyal generals failed to escape. With such a terrifying loss, Hao Zhao didn't know how to explain it to the above.

Because of this defeat, the morale of the Wei army was low, and the morale of the army was a little fluctuating. Hao Zhao can only govern the army toughly and forcibly suppress these floating military spirits.

But the floating military spirit is definitely impossible to fight again, and he doesn't dare to attack at all.

Regardless of whether the attack is successful or not, the remaining soldiers and horses are not enough to defend Chencang.

And after returning to the city, he heard the general of the city guard say that the Shu army actually climbed the city wall with his bare hands, which made Hao Zhao more and more vigilant. Now it is necessary not only to defend in the sky, but also to defend at night, and all of a sudden the pressure of the only soldiers has increased dramatically.

The speed of repair can only slow down, and it will slowly be consumed by Ma Yan.

The only thing that made Hao Zhao feel relieved was that Ma Jian had few soldiers and could not have the ability to attack the city. Even if there are soldiers who are good at climbing, to put it bluntly, there are only 2,000 people.

The pressure is not too great, and I can still hold on.

This luck was dashed a few days later, as reinforcements from the Shu army arrived.

More than 2,000 Shu soldiers came out of Longshan, pushing countless wheelbarrows and vehicles. They transported a large number of wooden parts to Ma Yan.

Then the Shu army swaggered outside the city and began to assemble siege equipment.

Most of the time the ancient siege equipment was not built on the spot, but was first disassembled into parts, and then pushed to the battlefield with carts to assemble.

The skills of ancient Chinese craftsmen were not bad, and they studied wooden mechanisms to the extreme. For example, the thunderbolt cars commonly used in the Three Kingdoms were assembled with wooden equipment of uniform specifications.

This is the standardization of the ancient apparatus building, and the front line does not even need too many highly skilled craftsmen. You just need to know how to produce standard parts according to the template.

After a few days of assembly, the Shu army successively assembled five or six Thunderbolt cars. The Wudang Flying Army searched for a large number of stones in the nearby mountains and forests, and basically all of them were ready.

Seeing this scene, Hao Zhao suddenly became calm.

He is indeed very good at defending the city, but only if the other party has to attack the city. Like Zhuge Liang in history, he beat Chen Cang, and in order to hurry, he basically sent troops to bite hard.

But the catapult is outside of Hao Zhao's business.

The earliest catapults appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's strategist Liu Ye invented it to counter the Tushan of the Hebei Army. However, not many people have used this siege so far, mainly because it is too slow.

Take the catapult and smash it slowly, and the time to kill the castle tower is enough for them to capture three cities. And the effect of this thing is not clear, but the city wall is broken and it takes a lot of effort to repair, so not many people know how to counter it.

At least Hao Zhao can't counteract, his business scope does not include this.

"General! Shu Dog is planning to ...... "Several generals were also highly nervous, and they were very anxious when they watched the thunderbolt car come out.

"Don't worry, let's see what the level of the Shu people is, if it is a great threat to the city tower." Hao Zhao didn't mess up, but waved his hand and said calmly.

"The thunderbolt car was able to smash the earth city at most, and the Chen Cang city was strong, so let's not be afraid!"

Catapults have never been fully used in siege battles until now. The first time in history that catapults were used for siege had to wait until the Song Dynasty.

So Hao Zhao didn't believe that the sturdy Chen Cangcheng could destroy a few thunderbolts.

Under the watchful eyes of the Wei army, the Shu army slowly loaded the boulder onto the thunderbolt cart and projected it towards Chen Cangcheng.

Several boulders were projected, throwing a graceful arc in the sky, and smashed Chen Cangcheng.

A violent collision sounded, and Hao Zhao felt a violent vibration of the city wall. But fortunately, in the end, the boulder fell, and Hao Zhao found that the loss of the city wall was not large.

Although some of the stone bricks were shattered, the damage was not large.

Catapults in this era were all anti-infantry, and their power was really not great.

But soon, Hao Zhao's heart hung in the air again, because he found that the Shu army had set up a catapult again.

! Do you plan to continue to vote if one time is not enough?

Hao Zhao soon found out what Ma Tan meant, thinking that the Shu army began to continuously transport stones to the catapults, and a total of five catapults began to bombard the city continuously.

"Their purpose is to destroy the walls?" Hao Zhao's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of realization, the Shu army had never come to attack the city.

Their small troops attacked, and they were basically cavalry, the purpose of which was to prevent them from repairing Chencang City. If they have the opportunity, they will also engage in sabotage, destroying Chen Cangcheng as much as possible.

Only in this way, when the large army of the Shu army comes later, can it easily attack Chencang and attack Yongzhou all the way.

After thinking about this, Hao Zhao suddenly turned his head and yelled without hesitation.

"Quick! Bring a pen and paper, I want to write to Lord Thorn Shi as soon as possible, Chen Cang needs support! ”
