"General Li, the city should be strictly inspected, as far as General Ben knows, when the Marquis of Jin attacked the city, he knew the situation in the city well." Guo said.

"That's how it should be." Li Dao said, but the current situation in Chang'an, the generals in the field are clear, let alone ordinary people, and they can't even guarantee whether there are spies in the army and the state army.

Speaking of Lu Bu and the Xiliang Army, there is still a certain relationship, such as Jia Xu and Li Su, who are in high positions in Bingzhou, are from the Xiliang Army, although after many years, who can be sure that the generals of the Xiliang Army secretly contacted the two for the safety of their lives, and furthermore, the generals and strategists who took refuge in the Bingzhou Army were not embarrassed, but were reused, and this news was absolutely fatal to the generals in the army.

How many people can withstand the choice of life and death, only a handful of people choose death without hesitation, and more people are still willing to live.

Not to mention the worries of the generals in Chang'an City, and said that Ma Chao led the vanguard army to Longguan, and after showing off his might, he led the troops to camp outside the pass.

The next day, Ma Chaodian came to Longguan outside the army, in front of the cavalry formation, the lion helmet and beast belt, the silver armor and white robe Ma Chao was majestic.

"Where are the guards? I haven't come out to answer yet. Ma Chao shouted.

Hu Feng appeared on the pass, and saw that the cavalry under Ma Chao was very majestic, and he was extremely surprised, it was the most elite existence of the Xiliang Army that followed Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and now the Xiliang Army is gradually declining, I didn't expect that there would be such a majestic cavalry in Liangzhou.

"This general is Hu Feng, the guard general of Longguan, and he will report his name." Hu Feng shouted, in front of the two armies, Hu Feng naturally could not weaken his momentum, although the Xiliang army outside the city had 5,000 people, but the defenders in the city also had 2,000 people, with the danger of Longguan, it was natural to resist the attack of the Xiliang army.

"Hu Feng, if you open the gate and surrender, the general promises to spare you from death, otherwise after the army breaks through Longguan, you will die and have no place to be buried, and the Marquis of Jin is leading the state army to attack Gaoling, don't you still see the situation clearly?" Although Ma Chao's words are tough, they do have enough truth.

Hu Feng snorted coldly: "Before the milk smell is dry, you dare to be so presumptuous in front of this general!" ”

Ma Chao's face turned red, although he was young, he had a high enough prestige in the Western Liang Army and even in Liangzhou, and ordinary generals mentioned him Ma Chao, which was not very respectful.

"Traitor, do you dare to go out and fight with General Ben?" Ma Chaodao.

"Fighting bravely before the battle, it is not the work of a wise person, and this general is not as knowledgeable as you." Hu Fengdao.

Looking at Ma Chao's posture and the war horses under him, you can judge that Ma Chao is not an ordinary general, and Hu Feng naturally does not dare to go out of the city to fight with Ma Chao easily.

Longguan is dangerous, Hu Feng hangs the battle exemption card, Ma Chao can only retreat to the camp and wait for the follow-up army to arrive, and send soldiers to fight outside the pass every day.

Ten days later, Ma Teng and Han Sui led 15,000 troops to Longguan, the mighty army to the defenders of Longguan great pressure, although Longguan is dangerous, but the enemy army in the number of people is to occupy an absolute advantage, the art of war cloud ten surrounded, and Ma Teng and Han Sui combined the number of people is exactly ten times the number of defenders in the pass.

A thunderbolt car was pushed out by the defenders, which was Ma Teng got the thunderbolt car to build the law after ordering the craftsmen under his rule to build overnight, and now the thunderbolt car in the army has reached 100, which is also the source of confidence for Ma Teng to break through Longguan, Longguan is dangerous, the original Kei Pass is also dangerous, and it is not broken by the state army.

Looking at the thunderbolt in front of the army, Han Sui's eyes tightened, Ma Teng has a thunderbolt is a very bad sign for him, although he has not seen the thunderbolt with his own eyes, but the prestige of the thunderbolt has been heard, Ma Teng is not as loyal as he seems, he is also an ambitious person, it can be seen from the fact that Ma Teng has been planning to attack Chang'an over the years.

The thunderbolt stopped at a distance of one hundred and twenty steps from Longguan, and the fact that there was a way to build the thunderbolt did not mean that the craftsmen in Ma Teng's army could make the thunderbolt car more powerful, and the thunderbolt that Lu Bu gave to Ma Teng was just the initial drawing.

One hundred and twenty steps, in the siege equipment is definitely far ahead, even if the archers on the pass have the advantage of the terrain, it is difficult to shoot the bow and arrow to a distance of one hundred and twenty steps, the thunderbolt in the Ma Teng army, in the range reached one hundred and thirty steps, but Longguan is dangerous, in order to ensure that the boulder can be thrown to the pass, choose to attack at a distance of one hundred and twenty steps.

Ma Chao, who was armed with a tiger-headed Zhan golden gun, lived at the back of the thunderbolt car, and ordered in a cold tone: "Attack Longguan." ”

With Ma Chao's order, boulders were thrown towards Longguan.

Even if Hu Feng knew in advance that Ma Teng's army might have such a sharp weapon as a thunderbolt, he was a little frightened when he really saw the power of hundreds of boulders coming towards Longguan.

Without waiting for Hu Feng's order, the defenders on the gate hurriedly looked for a position when the thunderbolt began to wield, and Hu Feng's previous advice also played a big role, even so, several soldiers were hit by the boulder, and there were bursts of wails.

Seeing the power generated by the thunderbolt car, Ma Chao frowned slightly, half of the hundred thunderbolt cars, did not reach one hundred and twenty steps in range at all, Mo said that he threw the boulder to the close, but the deterrent brought by the thunderbolt car was obvious, and the defenders who were originally on the closed ground were gone.

Han Sui's gaze became even more gloomy, seeing the might of the thunderbolts, even if he was as shrewd as he didn't know how to restrain this siege weapon, unless the defenders could have elite cavalry and burn these thunderbolts, they would have to withstand the continuous attacks from the thunderbolts.

"Move the thunderbolt five more steps towards Longguan!" Ma Chao ordered.

One hundred and fifteen steps, ninety percent of thunderbolts can throw boulders to the shut, seeing such an effect, Ma Chao nodded slightly.

Ma Chao was satisfied, but the defenders on the pass were bleak, originally thought that there was Longguan as a support, even if Ma Teng had tens of thousands of troops, he didn't want to attack the pass, but now it seems that it is not so simple, with the suppression of the thunderbolt, is it so easy for Longguan to hold it.

The thunderbolt car attacked Longguan one after another for a day, and there were boulders everywhere under the pass, and many soldiers who were still not dead when the boulders were hit by the boulders kept wailing, but their wails were the indifference of the defenders, and no defenders would save them at such a time.

Hu Feng also saw that these thunderbolt cars were not good on the quasi-head, and wanted to lead the soldiers out of the pass to burn the thunderbolt cars, but he didn't have the guts, on both sides of the thunderbolt cars, but there were two thousand cavalry, as long as the defenders dared to go out of the pass, it would be difficult to return to the pass, Ma Teng and Han Sui's soldiers and horses occupied an absolute advantage in numbers.
