Chapter 247 The rebels attack the city!

Li Jing was the main general, Li Su and Gao Xianzhi were deputy generals, Feng Changqing was the military advisor, the Ten Generals of Mountains and Rivers, Li Siye, Tian Zhen, Geshu Han and other generals, as well as the Tujiang, Anxi Army, and Modao Team were the main forces, serving as the second batch of troops to defend the city.

Chen Qingzhi was the main general, Mu Guiying and Li Rumei were deputy generals, Xu Wei was the military advisor, Qin Liangyu, Huang Wudie, Tachibana Ginchiyo, Kaihime, Hu Fen, Ma Long, as well as the female swordsmen, white robe soldiers, white pole soldiers, Liaodong cavalry, and Tachibana early strike women were the main force, serving as the third batch of troops to defend the city.

The Black Armor Army, White Robe Army, Liaodong Iron Cavalry and other cavalry had to dismount and serve as infantry during the battle to defend the city, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

However, the Liangzhou rebels who were attacking the city were at a greater disadvantage.

The Liangzhou rebels used cavalry as their main force, and the reason they were able to sweep across Liangzhou was because of their powerful cavalry.

The cavalry could not attack the city on their war horses, so they had to abandon their horses.

On the twenty-first day of the rebel siege, early in the morning, as the fog dissipated, towering ramps, ladders, and battering rams stood outside the city, ready for use.

Relying on their large numbers, the rebels surrounded Chencang City from all sides, as if they were going to attack the city from all sides, break through the city, and leave no one alive.

Whenever attacking a city, they usually surround three sides and leave one side open. This way, the defenders will often suffer heavy losses while defending the city, which will shake their morale. It will be easier for them to break out from the gap and capture the solid city more easily.

The fact that the Liangzhou rebels chose to be trapped and die in Chencang is enough to show the resentment of the Northern Alliance towards the defenders.

"I will give you another stick of incense to think about it. If you surrender the city and hand over the scholar Sheng Zuo to me within that stick of incense, I will forgive you for what happened! Otherwise, once the city is breached, I will kill you all and turn it into a pagoda!"

The Loyal and Martial Heavenly King, along with Lanling King Gao Changgong and a group of elite players from the Northern Alliance, once again tried to persuade them to surrender.

King Zhongwu gritted his teeth.

Li Qian made him suffer twice in a row. The condition of the King of Loyalty and Martial Arts was to surrender the city and hand over Li Qian before he would let go of the defenders of Chencang City.

King Zhongwu must kill Li Qian, otherwise he will not be able to swallow this humiliation.

Li Qian stood on the wall of Chencang and said indifferently: "If you could really take Chencang, you wouldn't have persuaded us to surrender so many times. Just let your horses come over."

"Damn it! I will kill you!"

"Attack the city!"

King Zhongwu was so furious that he didn't even bother to give the defenders time to attack the city. Instead, he directly ordered an attack!

"The leader has given the order to start attacking the city!"

"Get your catapults and crossbows ready!"

"The shield cart phalanx and sword and shield soldiers are ready!"

"Archers, form a battle line! Use a rain of arrows to suppress the defenders and cover our brothers in the siege!"

The Northern Alliance joined the rebels in attacking cities and had some experience in sieges. They were more well-organized than the Qiang army led by Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou.

"Warriors, follow them and attack them! Break through the city and massacre it for three days!"

The Huangzhong Yicong Hu and Qiang legions led by Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou raised their weapons and shouted excitedly.

If you want to boost the morale of the Hu and Qiang people in Huangzhong, the method is very simple, that is to allow them to massacre the city.

The Beidi Alliance was responsible for attacking the west city, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were responsible for attacking the north city, Bian Zhang and Han Sui were responsible for attacking the south city, and Wang Guo and Ma Teng were responsible for attacking the east city.

Chencang City was surrounded by enemy troops on all sides, dark clouds were pressing down on the city, and it was surrounded by enemies from all sides.

"Lingming, Chencang is impregnable and the defenders are strong and powerful. You must be careful when you attack the city."

Ma Teng saw the towering walls of Chencang City, with rows of elite soldiers stationed on the walls, and reminded Pang De. The only capable general under Ma Teng's command was Pang De, followed by himself.

If Pang De, a first-class general, was killed, Ma Teng would have no choice but to go into battle himself and would be unable to carry the battle alone.

"Father, I will follow General Pang to attack the city later."

A young man, about eight or nine years old, volunteered. He had a handsome face, eyes like shooting stars, and in his hand he held a spear that was disproportionate to his body size.

"Young Master, the battlefield is no joke. I see that the Chencang defenders have many fierce generals. Young Master is not yet a grown man, so he is no match for them. Wait for good news from me at the foot of the city."

When Pang De saw that his lord's son, who was only eight or nine years old, was about to go to the battlefield, he hurriedly stopped him.

If the opponent is some weak Qiang tribe, the young master can still go and gain some experience.

But the 800,000 defenders of Chencang City are all elite troops, and there are a large number of powerful generals guarding them.

The last time they raided the camp, Li Qian, Xiao Lingxue, Emperor Yuan, his fellow rebels, Xuanyuan and other players sent out a total of 70,000 cavalrymen, which turned the camp of millions of rebels upside down. Li Qian also successfully burned their siege equipment.

Pang De was repelled by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, and was unable to capture either of them, which made Pang De extremely alert to the Chencang defenders.

Qin Qiong was anxious to escape and had no intention of fighting, so he joined forces with Cheng Yaojin to repel Pang De.

If Qin Qiong calmed down and fought fiercely with Pang De, the two sides might have fought for hundreds of rounds.

Qin Qiong's martial arts skills in his prime must have been higher than Pang De's in his prime.

"Mengqi, I brought you here so that you can watch the game and gain experience. Now is not the time for you to play."

Ma Teng also stopped his son Ma Chao from fighting.

The youngest of the Five Tiger Generals is Ma Chao.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already participated in suppressing the Yellow Turban Army, while Ma Chao was only eight years old.

It was impossible for Ma Teng to let his son participate in the brutal siege at such a young age.

In the bloody battle of Chencang, even Ma Teng and Pang De were in danger, not to mention Ma Chao who had not yet grown up.

"Brother, listen to Dad and don't go to war."

A pretty little girl with a high ponytail pulled her impulsive brother back.

Ma Chao scratched his head and said, "Since that is what my father wants, I will just watch the battle from the sidelines."

Ma Teng nodded. Before his children and nephews grew up, his power could only be maintained by himself and Pang De.

Once his sons, daughters and nephews grow up, the Xiliang Ma family army will become a terrifying force.

Millions of rebels surrounded the city of Chencang. Before the official siege, both sides realized that this would be a brutal battle, so both sides were gathering their strength and waiting for the moment of the siege.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The heavy sound of war drums broke the deathly silence and echoed outside the city of Chencang. The drumsticks seemed to hit the hearts of every defender, making them tremble with fear.

"Three, two, one, let go!"

The rebels' catapults were in full force. Hundreds of huge stones were thrown into the air by the catapults, and then smashed down heavily, destroying the arrow towers and all fortifications of Chencang City!
Rows of huge crossbow carts made sounds of tearing silk cloth, and giant crossbows as long as spears were shot out and flew towards Chencang City!
The massive offensive of millions of rebels has officially begun!
