Ma Chao led more than 200,000 Xiliang troops to Chang'an with the help of Han Sui, and Chang'an Taishou Zhong Xuan personally climbed the Chang'an City Tower, only to see more than 200,000 Xiliang troops wearing linen and filial piety, like clouds in the sky, trapping a lonely city in Chang'an.

Zhong Xuan couldn't help but say, "Have the scouts who asked the prime minister for help sent out?"

The younger brother Zhong Jinyu reported: "The eldest brother has been sent out. ”

"Big brother, forgive that Ma Chao is just a child who has never been on the battlefield, although the younger brother is not talented, but he is willing to take Ma Chao's head for the eldest brother and make contributions to the eldest brother in front of the prime minister. ”

Zhong Xuan looked at the strong Xiliang army to Zhong Jin beside him, and Zhong Xu's two younger brothers said: "Xiliang's army is strong, and the mourning army will win, at this time, we should not go to war, avoid its edge, and wait for reinforcements." ”

Zhong Xu couldn't help but say: "My brother is too timid. ”

Zhong Xuan looked at Zhong Xu and knew that his younger brother was so brave and fierce and competitive on weekdays, thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "You can be fooled around on weekdays, but now you can't be fooled around on the battlefield, you know?"

"Big brother was scared of Ma Chao, but I didn't. Ignoring the obstruction of Zhong Jin and Zhong Xuan, he raised his big knife and led his headquarters of 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to fight Ma Chao.

Zhong Xuan looked at his younger brother's back and couldn't help but sigh.

Ma Chao was wearing a white armor and a white robe, and the white horse under his crotch was holding a silver spear in his hand, Pang De on the left and Ma Dai on the right.

Ma Chao pointed at the tip of his gun and asked, "Come and report your name." I never kill a nameless ghost under my gun. ”

Zhong Xu danced and came to the front of the formation, and said with a smile: "Do you recognize your grandfather Zhong Xu?"

Ma Chao sneered: "My family has been a prince for many generations, how can I recognize you, a nameless rat." ”

Finally furious, Ma Chao smashed the war horse under his crotch, and with a silver spear in his hand, he took Zhong Xu's throat like a silver dragon.

Han Sui saw Ma Chao personally fighting, and personally cheered for Ma Chao, beating the war drum like thunder. The flags of both camps shook like clouds.

Ma Chao was immersed in the grief of losing his father, and at this moment he was thinking about how God would block and kill God, and Buddha would block and kill Buddha. In a fit of rage, the speed of the shot couldn't help but be a little faster than usual, and he pinched his steel teeth and said angrily: "Look at your grandfather Ma Chao's gun." ”

Zhong Xu never expected this shot to come so quickly. "Not good. ”

Raise the knife in your hand and put the gun aside. Boredom of the wrong timing of the two horses, Ma Chao actually withdrew the silver gun, hit him with a backhand, and smashed a shot on the back of Zhong Xu's head, and Zhong Xu's skull was shattered and fell off the horse.

Ma Chao laughed, pointed at the silver spear in his hand, and tens of thousands of military horses behind him, carrying the ladder and holding the shield, rushed straight to the foot of Chang'an City.

Zhong Miao saw from afar that his younger brother died tragically under Ma Chao's hands in less than a round, and couldn't help but endure his grief, commanded Ruo Ding, and after receiving the thousands of men and horses that Zhong Xu brought out of the city, he ordered his soldiers to release arrows.

The Xiliang soldiers and horses fell countless after another, and when they rushed to the nearest place, the Xiliang soldiers and horses put the cloud ladder on the city wall, and Zhong Xuan ordered to throw down all the wood, cannon stones and other things on the city tower.

The Xiliang army that smashed straight out screamed bitterly, crying dad and mother, Ma Chao, and Han Sui personally supervised the battle, and the soldiers of Xiliang took the lead bravely, wanting to make meritorious contributions in front of the generals.

Zhong Xuan commanded the Xiliang army commanded by Ruoding Ma Chao and Han Sui on the top of the city tower to attack the city again and again, and was killed by Zhong Xuan again and again.

In just a moment, thousands of corpses were left behind under this Chang'an city.

Ma Chao couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth, pointed at the tip of the gun in his hand, and said unwillingly: "Withdraw." ”

Hearing the commander's order, the soldiers abandoned their weapons and ran back brainlessly, lest they run slowly and lose their lives.

Zhong Miao won a big victory for a while, but he was never happy because his younger brother died under Ma Chao's gun.

In the camp of the Xiliang Army, Pang De couldn't help complaining: "We can't take a single Chang'an City in this area, so what kind of revenge is there to talk about." ”

Ma Chao said suspiciously: "Chang'an is the old capital of the Western Han Dynasty, the city wall is hard, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is normal for us to not be able to take it." ”

"Then let's just forget it?" Ma Dai was also very unwilling in his heart.

Han Sui said: "This revenge, we have to avenge everything, since it can't be taken, let's outwit it." ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Uncle, two virtuous brothers, I have already paid attention." ”

"Tell me about it?" Han Sui couldn't help but say.

Ma Chao said with a smile: "The soil in Chang'an City is hard and alkaline, let's surround him for a few days, and wait until the soldiers and civilians in the city are famine, and then we will make other arrangements." ”

Han Sui couldn't help but slap his hands and laugh when he heard this: "People say that my nephew is not resourceful enough but more than strong, and in my uncle's opinion, my nephew is really a wise and brave general." ”

Ma Chao smiled: "Uncle praised it falsely. ”

"Ma Dai, Pound, you have been supervising the battle for the past few days, and you don't want to give the defenders half a chance to breathe. Ma Chao said carefully.

"Yes, General. The two horses replied.

For more than ten days, the generals supervised the battle again and again, day and night, forcing Zhong Xuan to have no chance to breathe, but Ma Chao never attacked Chang'an for half a step.

The moon rose in the sky, and the smoke in the air was mixed with the vicious smell of need, which made everyone smell and want to vomit, Zhong Xuan organized the people to defend the city for several days, and the city was already sleepy and lacking at the moment, and the soldiers were hungry and couldn't even pick up their weapons.

Although this Chang'an City is the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, it has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, and the people in the city have eaten the last meal and have not eaten the next meal, which is really poor and unbearable. Ma Chao used troops for ten days, and the people in the city were already hungry. Zhong Xuan ordered that all the animals in the city that could be killed should be killed and used to wrap their stomachs.

Zhong Xuan stood on top of the city tower, nibbling on the steamed buns that had already been blackened by the smoke of gunpowder.

The soldiers on the side were munching on the pork delivered with relish.

"For ten days in a row, this Ma Chao left tens of thousands of corpses under Chang'an City, not to mention that, how can a handsome person take the lives of the soldiers of the three armies as a child's play? It's a pity that I, the people of Chang'an City, have suffered for the past ten days. Zhong Xuan couldn't help but say to Zhong Jin beside him.

Zhong Jin only cared about gnawing on the pig's trotter in front of him, and had no time to respond to Zhong Xuan's words.

Suddenly, I only heard the scout report: "Taishou, Ma Chao has withdrawn." ”

Zhong Xuan couldn't help but be startled, threw the steamed bun in his hand and asked, "Do you see it clearly?"

The scout said: "The scouts sent out have all seen Ma Chao withdraw. ”

"Okay, let's go down and explore. Zhong Xuan was still relieved.
