Xiaoguangong

Chapter 224 Isn't the general ashamed?

Ma Chao steadily suppressed Wenpin and Shendan, but he was shocked to find that the soldiers under his command did not take much advantage.

The ice city is difficult to climb, and coupled with the enemy's strong will to defend the city, only [-]% of the soldiers could climb up at first. The fighting will and fighting quality of the soldiers are far higher than those of the Liangzhou Army. Ma Chao was unwilling to invest in the absolute main force under his command before, but now he has been killed so much that he can't hold his head up.

These Jingzhou Army and Shangyong Army drilled very well. After the initial panic, they advanced and retreated like the wind, constantly beheading the generals under Ma Chao's command, causing Ma Chao's army to suffer more and more casualties.

"Something good." Ma Chao murmured in admiration, his will was still firm, but the spear in his hand was a little slower after all.

People have limits.

Ma Chao fought fiercely for a long time. He thought that the enemy would collapse in an instant after taking the top of the city with his bravery, and this battle would turn into a one-sided massacre.

Unexpectedly, the defender's will to resist far exceeded his imagination, and even the combat effectiveness of his soldiers was far inferior to the opponent's elite soldiers.

The soldiers they desperately climbed to the tower were stabbed and beheaded to death in pieces, and some people continued to fall from the tower.

No matter how brave Ma Chao is, he can't keep up with thousands of people.

He had knocked down at least 50 people, and his arms were so sore that it was difficult to lift them up, but the number of his own soldiers occupying the top of the city was actually less and less, pitifully few.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally realized that something was wrong.

Ma Chao believed that his soldiers were invincible since he was a child, and it was only because they were too small that they could not sweep the world.

But now he is surprised to find that there is actually an elite soldier in this world who is stronger than the soldiers under his command, and more fearless of death.

Soldiers of the Liangzhou Army kept falling from the top of the city, and the soldiers in the rear had obviously stopped moving forward.

The shortcomings of Ma Chao's coach's charge are fully exposed at this moment-who directs the coach's charge?

If you can't take the city, should you enforce the military law and kill those who retreat?

Ma Chao gritted his teeth, looked at Shen Dan and Wen Pin who were already covered in blood, and thought of retreating for the first time in his mind.

"You Liangzhou army is not very good!" Shen Dan laughed.

His gait was already very staggering. A Liangzhou soldier who fell on the ground wanted to pretend to be dead, and suddenly launched an attack on Shen Dan when everyone was unprepared, but Shen Dan was seriously injured and reacted in the blink of an eye, and the knife fell hard. Immediately cut off the soldier's head.

With a loud shout, he kicked the man's head in front of Ma Chao. Ma Chao looked at the bloody head with a more ferocious expression on his face.

"Within ten moves, I'll kill you." Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and tightly grasped the iron spear in his hands, ready to deal a fatal blow to Shen Dan.

But at this moment, he heard a drum beating loudly in his ears.

It turned out that it was Kuai Yue who judged the situation. He had already seen that the soldiers in Liangzhou wanted to retreat. He knew that the victory or defeat was at this moment. The state army launched a desperate charge.

Seeing a group of soldiers coming out of the city quickly, Xia Houba's face was like blood, he couldn't bear it long ago, and shouted sharply: "Boys, Ma Chao is right in front of you, whoever kills this person will be made Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Ma Chao snorted and swung the iron spear lightly with his wrist. Although the ice on the top of the city hindered his nimble steps a little, Ma Chao exhaled a cold air, and quickly spread the death here. The new force led by Xia Houba Although brave and fearless, his combat skills could not compare to the experienced Jin Ma Chao. In just one confrontation, five more people were easily killed by Ma Chao, bleeding everywhere.

The enemy has increased their troops, should we increase them?

Looking at the top of the city, Ma Chao hesitated for a moment.

If he raises his arms and shouts, the Liangzhou soldiers behind him will continue to increase their troops to attack.

But as the coach, he came here hastily, surrounded by enemies, naturally he couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly, so he didn't dare to make judgments at will.

Now that the Liangzhou army was suffering more and more casualties, Ma Chao hesitated for a while, and let Xia Houba bully him into his side.

"Unfaithful and unfilial dog thief, eat me, Xia Houba!"

Xia Houba's saber technique is quite fierce, but it is ridiculously slow in front of Ma Chao.

He snorted, turned his body slightly, and shook the iron spear with his thick and strong arm, but he came first and stabbed Xiahouba straight in the face.

Xia Houba was taken aback, his mind went blank for a moment.

Fortunately, Shen Dan and Wen Pin caught up together, and with one spear and one knife, they finally swung Ma Chao's killing blow. Xia Houba also reacted, he raised the steel knife in his hand, but reacted suddenly, He simply took a step back immediately, picked up a big bow from the ground, bent the bow and released the arrow in one go, Ma Chao hurriedly used his arm to protect the front door, and an arrow slammed into his right arm.

Ma Chao has a lot of conceit, and he doesn't treat the enemy at the top of the city as a human being at all.

When he charged, in order to pursue speed, he only put on simple leather armor, and his arms were not protected.

The arrow hurt to the marrow, and Ma Chao couldn't help but let out a scream.

Xiahouba laughed excitedly, jumped up and down and shouted:

"I hit it, I hit it, I..."

He hadn't had time to shoot the second arrow, but Ma Chao bumped him head-on. Xia Houba was defenseless, and was directly knocked to the ground by Ma Chao.

The valiant Ma Chao charged head-on with the arrow, knocked Xiahouba over with his head, and punched Xiahouba hard in the face with his left hand, causing Xiahouba's eyes to go black immediately.

"Come protect me!" Ma Chao snarled. He wanted to kill Xiahouba directly, but Wenpin called out General Xiahouba, which made Ma Chao's heart tremble. Ba pulled up and roared angrily:
"Whoever dares to move forward, I will chop him first!"

"I don't care if you hack him or not!" Knowing Guan Ping's identity, Shen Dan naturally ignored Xiahouba's life. He was already red-eyed, and he directly swung his knife to meet him, ready to kill Ma Chao and Xiahouba together.

Ke Wenpin has rich experience, and when he saw Ma Chao taking hostages, he was overjoyed and quickly grabbed Shen Dan:
"Stay on!"

Ma Chao seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, took Xia Houba back to the ladder, and called his Liangzhou soldiers to retreat.

But when the Yunshan army let Ma Chao leave, how could they let his soldiers go? Climbing up the ladder, but how could the ladder be so big that it could carry so many people, Shen Dan got on top and grabbed a knife from the ground to hack at will.

On the tall Chang'an city, the Liangzhou army kept screaming and falling down. The Hu people who climbed the city first were almost killed completely. A thick layer of corpses quickly accumulated under the Chang'an city. Ma Chao felt dizzy for a while, and almost fainted immediately. Fall over.

Han Sui's messengers finally rushed to Ma Chao's army. Seeing Ma Chao sitting there dazedly covered in blood, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a trembling voice:

"General, retreat! The governor is not going to attack the city, please, please retreat first before discussing!"

"Retreat..." Ma Chao murmured, "Retreat, where are you going?"

In this battle, Ma Chao mobilized 3000 people to attack the city, and nearly [-] rushed to the top of the city.
All the generals under his command surrounded him, but looking at Ma Chao with a dazed face, they didn't know how to comfort him.

In today's battle, Ma Chao himself went into battle, and the Liangzhou army did their best to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Compared with the previous battles like Ma Wan and Cheng Yi's, which were defeated immediately after entering the city, I don't know how brilliant it is.

If you work hard to attack the city in the future, you will definitely gain a lot.

But Ma Chao, who had witnessed the war, didn't think so.

In today's battle, he deeply realized that the strength of the enemy far exceeded imagination.

The generals under Yunshan's command are tenacious and extremely brave, and their combat ability and combat will exceed the level of Liangzhou's elite soldiers.

If you want to defeat them, you have to keep killing them, but if you keep killing them, what if you take Chang'an?
Cao Cao must have led the army on the way now. If Han Sui and Ma Chao put all their troops here, can they block the main force of Cao's attack?
No, you don't even need the main force of Cao Jun to kill them.

Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan's reluctance to fight before was purely because they were worried about what would happen if they were surrounded, but now they are free and free, and they have a chance to fight back. When the time comes...

Ma Chao pondered for a moment, then said slowly in a tired and weak voice:

"Bring the horse, I'll go see Dudu Han."

·
On the other side, after confirming that Ma Chao had retreated, Han Sui finally gave the order to withdraw his troops.

Yan Xing fought and retreated to the rear of the whole army, but Guan Ping, who had been avoiding him before, finally walked over slowly.

"Yanming, don't leave, let's make gestures again!"

Guan Ping's tone was very casual, he played with the steel knife in his hand, as if he was chatting with Yan Xing about family matters.

If it weren't for the dripping blood and the continuous screams and begging, this would probably be a very warm reunion of old friends.

Yan Xing was very cold all over, he stared at Yunshan tightly without saying a word, feeling quite nervous for a moment.

retreat.

Step back from the towering city.

This was originally a very difficult task, and Yun Shan was recharging his energy, so he had already thought of this before making the move at this moment.

He didn't let Yan Xing go, not just to ridicule, but really wanted to keep Yan Xing.

"Han Sui and Ma Chao are not wise masters, they have been killing endlessly for many years, how many people in Guanzhong died at their hands?
These years, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people in Guanzhong, they did a little bit of personnel work. With Yanming's wisdom, they should know that if they win the world, they should revert to their old ways. "

Yan Xing let out a hey, held the spear tightly in his hand, and said coldly:
"I have heard for a long time that General Yun is very skilled in martial arts. I thought that I would definitely fight with me as hard as I can. I would see the truth like a man. I didn't expect General Yun to hide behind his brothers all the time. At this time, he would only know how to fight with me. Talking about it?

My heart is true to the court, but General Yun blamed me for killing the common people by Governor Han, hey, is there something wrong?

Prime Minister Cao has been slaughtering kindness all these years, and even sold women like livestock. How is this different from me?

Isn't General Yun ashamed to say such a thing? "

Although Yan Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with Cao Cao's act of massacring the people, but Yun Shan actually used this to bully his side, of course he didn't want to admit defeat.

He listened intently, waiting for Yunshan's explanation, but Yunshan in front of him just chuckled and said calmly:

"Of course not ashamed.

I have only been working for Prime Minister Cao for a year, and I have been working for Liu Shijun before, and I will go with Liu Shijun in the future to fight the enemy for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

I only resent what Cao Cao did, and I am not ashamed. "

"Is General Yanming satisfied with this explanation?"
