Chapter 743: Beautiful Sunrise in Longxi
"Retire the troops........ the military advisor estimated that the time had passed for a stick of incense, and the gate of Longxi City was still standing still. The flame of revenge burning all over his body gradually extinguished, and finally he said helplessly and sadly: "Ma Chao........ His life was not easily obtained. ”
When Cheng Gongying, Zhang Heng, and Yang Qiu heard this, they were helpless and had more expressions of 'self-deserved'. And although Yan Huan was full of anger and hope, looking at the battle situation under Longxi City, he could only cry with blood in his heart.
In this hasty expedition, the Liangzhou army had not yet had time to manufacture siege equipment, and most of the northwest warriors swam across the moat regardless of their lives. Climb up with bare hands - it's a pity that Longxi City is not a small city, the city is more than ten zhang high, although it is built of earth, but it is as solid as iron stone. And the moat was drawn from the water of Jingwei, and the silt was cleared a few days ago - although the guards were few, they stood with the advantage of waiting for work, and constantly rained arrows and rained down, and huge rolling stones smashed the Liangzhou army into flesh and mud, pouring hot oil on their heads, and the enemy troops who climbed halfway down the road fell to the top of the city with a miserable scream, and then the rockets were fired, and the oil was ignited, and the city was in a sea of fire. Sometimes someone climbs up and stabs with a knife and spear, and the person is knocked to the ground from a high place.
Thirty mountain-destroying chain crossbows guarded the Baizhang city wall, while the semi-automatic Yuanrong crossbow was almost as tall as dozens of guards, making it impossible for the enemy to advance at all. Although the steel nail crossbow arrow was small, it was smeared with poison, and after shooting, it was poisoned immediately, and the wounded soldiers screamed under the city.
At this time, if you exclude the luck of opening the city gate from the inside, you can only achieve unexpected results by relying on complete siege equipment. But at this time, the enemy army occupied a strong city, there was no shortage of food and grass, and the defense equipment was also complete, and the generals were not too incompetent. Therefore, at this time, it is understandable to achieve the results of one enemy against two, one against five, and even with one enemy ten.
Before, the military division and the generals of Liangzhou dared to attack when they saw the civil strife in Longxi City and could not afford to lose the opportunity. But after fighting for so long, there was no sign of the city gate opening, and the fire in his heart couldn't help but gradually extinguish, secretly annoying those fools who had infiltrated the city!
It's just that they don't know that Li Chi, who is guarding the city, has just experienced a heart tsunami. Just when he was engrossed and trying his best to command the soldiers to defend the city, there was a sudden chaos under the inner gate of the outer city of Longxi. More than 100 thieves came from nowhere, and one of them carried a big knife, like a flying lightning switch. Li Chi immediately saw that this group of thieves was going to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and take Cheng Gongying into the city. When a small number of soldiers were urgently sent to stop the attack, they found that the gang of thieves was extremely brave. With a single sword, the person who blocked the attack was split into two pieces, and it was like a tiger entering the flock.
"Quick! Three hundred soldiers, no, five hundred! Li Chi could fully imagine the horror of the city gate being opened, he didn't care about the attack in full swing in front of the city wall, and finally wanted to personally lead everyone to stop the enemy.
But just as these words fell, Li Chi was stunned to find that in the shadows of the inner gate of the outer city, countless crossbow arrows suddenly shot out. The gang of thieves was caught off guard, and without armor, they were all hit by arrows and fell to the ground and howled. After that, two hundred soldiers in the Ma family's standard armor suddenly poured out. Although they were not many in number, they were full of spears, swords, shields, bows and crossbows. The crossbowmen shot from afar, swords and shields and resisted the enemy, and the pikemen raided, and once they clashed, the method of combining the formations of soldiers showed their might, and killed the gang of thieves almost without resistance.
"General Li, don't worry, the lord asked me to ambush here in advance, just to wait for the rabbit." The person who spoke was twenty years old, dressed in a scribe's robe, and was incompatible with this tragic battle. But its gaseous state is calm, and it gives people a strange and bizarre beauty.
Li Chi recognized that the young man was the scribe who often accompanied Ma Chao, and it was said that he was the only son of the former Taiwei Yang Biao, with a prominent background. After hearing Yang Xiu's shout, an indescribable consternation rose in his heart: Ma Chao's subordinates, how many capable generals are there?!
In the same mood, after Li Chi responded, he was not to be outdone. But Yang Xiu walked to the head of the city where stray arrows were flying, came to Li Chi's side, and said, "General, get ready to attack." ”
"What?!" When Li Chi heard this, he almost wanted to throw Yang Xiu off the city: there are 60,000 troops outside, although the siege is unfavorable, but the cavalry is brave, and there are only less than 5,000 soldiers at the head of the city.
"General, don't doubt that the lord is below, he should have already obtained the command of the horses and horses, just wait for the ........." Speaking of this, Yang Xiu's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement and excitement when he looked into the distance, and he stretched out his hand and said, "It's here!" ”
"What's coming? ........" Before he finished speaking, Li Chi heard a long horn coming from the battlefield shouting to kill the heavens. And suddenly there was a fire in the distance, as if it was about to burn the night sky!
After that, Li Chi saw that in the firelight, there were faint teams of metal monsters, they were like vengeful ghosts coming out of the sea of fire, stepping on the shattered sparks, not afraid of the wildfire on their bodies, just walked out of the firelight. And what suddenly broke this shocking beauty was the fierce cavalry that suddenly poured out between their two wings, those cavalry seemed to be chaotic, but they were chaotic, like a butterfly wearing flowers, quickly bypassing the metal monster, and rushing towards Longxi City!
"What's going on?!" Obviously, this change also shocked the central military account of the Liangzhou Army. And Yang Qiu, who was hot, was even more angry: "Why was the camp we set up burned by the enemy?!" ”
"Not good! Grain and grass!! Damn it! Ma Jiajun didn't go to rescue Pang De at all, but ambushed him, just waiting for the moment when we attacked the city!! The military advisor suddenly came to his senses, and said in fright and inexplicably: "I fell for Ma Chao's plan of 'fake stupidity'!" Quickly retreat from the formation, the rear army becomes the front army, and resist the offensive of the Ma family army behind them! ”
"You bullshit strategist!!" Zhang Heng was also furious at this time, but he still had reason after all, and under the cold gaze of the military advisor, he roared and shouted: "What the hell are you doing stupidly? Hurry up and do what the military advisor says! Hurry up!! ”
However, the truth is often so cruel. By the time you react, things are out of your control. After all, the military advisor has entered the circle, how can he easily escape? Not to mention, the Yanbei cavalry under Zhang Liao has always been fast and whistling like the wind!
Moreover, after equipping the Yuanrong crossbow, the power of Yanbei riding a horse and shooting is even more unguardable!
"Instigation~~"
In the continuous sound of breaking the air, the steel nail crossbow arrows in the Yanbei riders were like dense rainstorms. Pouring down frantically towards the rear of the Liangzhou army, the thin leather armor on the Liangzhou army was not enough to resist the sharp arrow clusters, and the dense formation almost made the Yanbei cavalry's arrows not in vain~~
Before the Liangzhou army received the order on how to meet the enemy, a large number of cavalry fell down piece by piece like a cut weed.
And when the order arrived, those cavalry saw that the heavily armored iron cavalry behind Yanbei's cavalry began to accelerate again. In a miserable situation where people are turning on their backs and shouting incessantly, who has the courage to carry out the absurd orders of facing the enemy head-on? Even if they were in a hurry to form a loose charging formation, how much battle spirit could the hesitant sound of horses' hooves and the look of luck be comparable to the iron cavalry of the Ma family?
The morning sun in the eastern sky is slowly rising, and the jumping Phnom Penh brings infinite longing and beauty to the new day. But on the field of fireworks and blood, these killings and wails contrasted with a completely different shock and ridicule to the gradually faint sky. It is as if, a new day, will be a day of bloodbath.
In the inner city of Longxi, Ma Chao, who had already killed Ma Wan and several important henchmen under Ma Wan, effortlessly controlled the 10,000 army under Ma Wan's command. What's even more shameless is that he also claimed that Ma Wan was surrounded by Cheng Gongying's spies and died heroically. At this time, under the banner of revenge for the horse, he quietly waited for the time when the morning sun rose to the highest sky: a more suitable and unguardable time when he attacked.........
Seeing that Li Chi had already led only a few hundred cavalry to arrive, Ma Chao smiled: "Liaoyuan, after this battle, is it okay to enter Chang'an with me?" After this battle in Longxi, there will be no more wars, and the descendants of General Fei will no longer be brilliant here. ”
Li Chi was slightly stunned, and after thinking about the meaning of Ma Chao's mouth, he promised with emotion: "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”
"Good!" Ma Chao raised his eyes to look at the rising sun, and after smiling slightly, he muttered to himself: "In such a beautiful sunshine, I want to see if the shrunken military advisor can still hide!" ”
