Since Ma Teng and Han Sui led the army to Longguan, they did not order the soldiers to attack Longguan, but only let the thunderbolts keep attacking Longguan.

Five days later, Ma Teng ordered someone to invite Han Sui over.

After the main generals in the army raised it, Ma Teng coughed lightly and said: "At this time, people in Longguan must be panicked, Brother Wen Yue, in the opinion of this general, how about attacking Longguan tomorrow?" ”

Han Sui pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Shoucheng, it's not that my brother doesn't want to attack Longguan now, but what should I do after breaking Longguan?" At this time, the state army is attacking Gaoling, once we wait for the Longguan to break through, we can come to Chang'an City, Chang'an is not an ordinary city, even if there is a thunderbolt to help, it is also to lose the army. ”

Ma Teng pondered for a while and understood Han Sui's intentions, which was clearly to delay time outside Longguan, consume the strength of the state army, and crusade against the rebels in Chang'an, which was a matter of earning fame in itself.

"If the Longguan guards are in an emergency, and Chang'an sends reinforcements to arrive, the advantage created by our army will not be there." Ma Chaodao, he is a little resistant to a scheming person like Han Sui.

Originally, Ma Chao's sense of Han Sui was very good, after all, since he was a child, Ma Teng told him how Han Sui was a person, but after Han Sui was ready to plan the blueprints of the thunderbolt from Ma Teng's hands, he was dissatisfied with Ma Teng and secretly wary.

"Meng Qixian's nephew, the situation in Chang'an is critical at this time, how can Li Dao, Guo Yan and others easily send reinforcements to arrive, and although there are two thousand defenders in Longguan, in their opinion, it is more than enough to hold Longguan." Han Sui said with a smile.

Ma Teng said categorically: "Three days later, the whole army will attack Longguan. "For Li Dao, Guo Yan and others who are entrenched in Chang'an, Ma Teng does not have the slightest good impression at all, no matter what, he is a courtier of the Han family, and the attack on Chang'an is for the Han Dynasty.

Han Sui saw that Ma Teng's tone was firm, he didn't say anything, he hadn't been idle these days, since he saw the power of the thunderbolt, he secretly spent a lot of effort on the craftsmen in Ma Teng's army, trying to get the way to build the thunderbolt by buying the craftsmen, but Ma Teng defended more tightly in this regard, and did a good job of protecting the craftsmen, so he couldn't start.

The thunderbolt car attacked Longguan for eight days, and there were twenty-five of the hundred thunderbolt cars damaged due to overwhelm, of course, the effect was obvious, the defenders suffered a lot of losses, but the soldiers in Ma Teng and Han Sui's army did not lose a single person, which was extremely rare in the siege battle, and it was also a dangerous level such as Longguan.

Hu Feng in the city, there is no previous calm, although hiding behind the female wall can largely avoid the damage from the thunderbolt, but in the long run, the morale of the defenders has become extremely low, especially the wailing of the soldiers who hit the thunderbolt car every day, so that more soldiers appear panicked, and there are even a small number of soldiers on Longguan who shout from panic because they can't bear the pressure, although the soldiers who supervise the army are killed in time, it still causes a lot of turmoil in the army.

"General, the enemy army has begun to attack the fortifications." A lieutenant shouted as he pointed to the army in the distance.

Hu Feng was shocked, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be calm, "The generals listen to the order and prepare to defend." ”

When the thunderbolt stopped throwing boulders, carrying the ladder, the dense soldiers rushed towards Longguan, and the well beside the ladder soldiers was also pushed by the soldiers to approach Longguan.

"Pick up the boulder, as long as the enemy is close, smash it hard." Hu Feng shouted, the depression that had accumulated in his heart for many days would be released when the enemy army attacked the city.

And the boulder that the enemy sent to the pass happened to return it to them, and let them taste the power of the boulder.

Perhaps the defenders, who were accustomed to the attack of the Thunderbolt, did not have much fear on their faces when they saw the soldiers carrying the ladder again, but a small number of soldiers still did not obey the orders of the generals, and hid their bodies behind the women's wall, for fear of becoming the target of the Thunderbolts.

"Stand up for Lao Tzu, if you find a soldier hiding behind the female wall, kill it directly!" Hu Fengli shouted.

After a group of guards roamed through the pass, and after killing more than a dozen soldiers one after another, the soldiers hiding behind the female wall greeted their enemies.

A rain of arrows went towards the outside of the pass, and many of the ladder soldiers fell on the way to attack, the ladder soldiers were the easiest soldiers to be damaged in the siege war, and their mission was to erect the ladder to the city wall, but the distance from the departure to the city wall was the biggest test of their luck.

Shooting with bows and arrows gradually regained a little confidence of the defenders, and when they saw the ladder in front of them, many defenders did not immediately push the ladder to it, but picked up the boulder at hand and smashed it down.

The dangerous terrain of Longguan played a huge role at this time, even if it was a well, under the dangerous terrain outside Longguan, it was difficult to easily approach Longguan, because the overall terrain of the place where Longguan was located was high, and if the well was too close to Longguan, it was difficult to gain a foothold, which also led to a great discount on the archers on the well.

A soldier climbed up the ladder as quickly as possible.

Some of the defenders, perhaps feared by the thunderbolt for several days, did not move from the ladder to the close.

Hu Feng may not be good at martial arts, but he has shown a very high talent in defending the city, and Hu Feng, who keeps wandering through the pass, can always resist the enemy's attack in time.

The battle to attack Longguan lasted for three days, after successive attacks, the defenders who could fight on the pass were less than 1,000 people, and Ma Teng and Han Sui also paid a lot of price, nearly 3,000 soldiers, forever fell outside Longguan, this is still in the situation of the thunderbolt, if there is no thunderbolt suppression, the price to pay for the capture of Longguan is even heavier.

However, the lives of ordinary soldiers, such as Ma Teng, Han Sui and other characters do not care about it at all, as long as there is money and food in their hands, why worry about not being able to recruit soldiers, in the troubled times, the people are the cheapest.

Hu Feng saw that Longguan was difficult to hold, and the soldiers sent to Chang'an for help had no news for a long time, and after a little thought, he opened Longguan and chose to surrender.

When he saw Hu Feng, Ma Chao was very dissatisfied, if Hu Feng had chosen to take refuge in the first place, there would not have been so many things, and there would not have been so many soldiers who died outside Longguan, these soldiers were carefully trained, and there was still a big gap between an ordinary person and a qualified soldier.

Ma Teng was relieved by Hu Feng's kind words, and said that he would definitely show the matter to the saint, Hu Feng's heart fell high, even if Ma Teng killed him at this time, no one would stand up and speak for him, after all, he represented the rebel thief of Chang'an.
