Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 325 Ghosts, loyal ministers?
Soldiers, tricks, soldiers never tire of cheating!

At this time, Jiang Xiong really had a deeper understanding of this sentence. He thought that he had already grasped the essence of the strategy of killing the enemy general without triggering it, but he didn't expect that compared with Han Sui, who was naturally cunning, it was still a bit insignificant. Big witch.

When Han Sui came up, he pretended to be indifferent and paralyzed the defenders of Jicheng, making the defenders think that it was the final moment of the decisive battle, so they used all the defensive equipment in the city.After the moat was filled, he once again used a small number of siege equipment to further deceive the defenders of Jicheng.

In the end, after Zijun felt that Han Sui's army was about to collapse at any moment, he brazenly put all his bets on, and made a complete gamble!

This feeling is like two gamblers at the table, one already knows the opponent's chips, while the other always plays blind cards.To tease the opponent's mind again and again, until the moment the opponent felt timid, he suddenly smashed all the chips that he had several times more than the opponent on the gambling table!
Undoubtedly, at this moment when the Qiang and Hu troops came out together and the dozens of trebuchets that threatened the city walls of Jicheng came out, the morale of the guards in Jicheng was instantly hit. Can afford this kind of gamble, especially when the price of losing the gamble is the death of one's own life.

Facing the densely packed Qianghu army under the city wall, Jiang Jiong's strategy of charging and disturbing the enemy has already turned into flowing water.At the same time, the defensive force on the city wall has also slowed down. Experienced veterans know how to save defensive equipment, but now the private men and guards of various ethnic groups on the new bench do not have this awareness.In front of the arrogance of Han Sui's army, they even acted a little timid.

At this moment, a strange whistling sound came from the air, and the Jicheng guards shrank their necks subconsciously.But then he couldn't help lifting it up, and saw three or four huge stones of different shapes flying in mid-air, drawing several dangerous and graceful arcs, and smashing towards the city wall.

Jicheng is an important city in Liangzhou. The city wall is high and deep.This kind of shock still dealt a great blow to the morale of the defenders of Jicheng. On the contrary, the Qianghu army cheered because the first launch hit the city wall.

Then, the trebuchets that had been adjusted at an angle began to whistle at the same time, and stones of different sizes slammed heavily on the city wall like meteorites.At this moment, the city wall of Jicheng finally shook. The soldiers standing on the wall felt the ground tremble violently, and their hearts trembled along with it.

Yang Fu's eyes shrank in an instant, he saw the blood and flesh flying from the boulder, and the scene where the soldiers began to flee instinctively.Regardless of overcoming, Yang Fu roared loudly: "Don't stop, continue to shoot and kill the enemy. Our army also has trebuchets, counterattack quickly!"

The best way to deal with catapults is naturally to send cavalry to charge forward and destroy them.The next best thing is to use slings against slings.As soon as Yang Fu's roar fell, the Jicheng veterans who had been arranged by him on the side of the catapult had already started to attack with arrows and stones.

It's a pity that if you want to hit the trebuchet under the city wall, you can almost only rely on luck.In the first round of launching, Jicheng's catapults did not hit any of the catapults.However, because the city wall was full of Qiang and Hu troops, the huge flying stones returned without success, smashing the enemy's forward positions to pieces, leaving a bloody mess.

In this way, the stone-throwing battle between the city and the city started completely, and the scene became extremely fierce in an instant.Every boulder roared, not a dozen lives were lost, or the bricks and stones on the city wall were chipped and filled with smoke and dust.This kind of brutal fighting style made Cui Lie, an old man who was used to seeing life and death, feel his hands and feet were cold - this was not a siege at all, but a fight for time with his life!
This is true for both Han Sui and Jicheng.

Han Sui wanted to break through Jicheng before the Han army arrived, so he used the bones of countless Qianghu warriors as sacrifices to give time.However, if Jicheng wants to support the reinforcements, it must use the most effective way to kill and use death to hit the morale of the enemy army as much as possible, so as to pray that time will be more inclined to even a stick of incense.

The two sides are like two wild beasts in the Colosseum. They clearly know that each other is dripping with blood, but they don't relax at all in order to inflict even one more wound on the other with their own pain.Boulders are whistling, war horses are howling, and the faces of the warriors who are dying are either terrified, unwilling, or angry. The whole battlefield is full of sticky smell, which cannot be blown away even though the wind is fierce.

Finally when it came time to meet Tu Qiong, the soldiers in Jicheng began to panic.The mountains of stones beside the catapults have been exhausted, but the catapults under the city can use the original materials.Then, finally, a huge flying stone smashed into a corner of the already damaged city wall, and with an earth-shattering sound, the city wall at that place could no longer bear the damage, and collapsed with a bang.

"Rush up! Break Jicheng, and leave nothing behind!" Zhang Heng wiped his face, and the long-term high-intensity command made him very irritable and frantic.After he finished yelling these words, he almost didn't even think about it, so he galloped towards the ruined wall.

"Wow! Kill!"

Like Zhang Heng, these Qianghu warriors who escaped from death and were also completely driven mad by death turned into wild beasts.Looking down from the city wall, a fire dragon seemed to be suddenly awakened at this moment, crazily winding towards the city wall, and the horses roared. Howled wildly.

"Go up, don't be afraid, the old man is with you!" Cui Lie was really stubborn at this time, as a member of the two thousand stones of the imperial court and a member of the scholar-officials, he rushed at him with a ring-headed knife. first line.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do!" Wang Yi grabbed Cui Lie, and the strength of this weak woman became very strong at this moment, and she pointed her dusty jade to him: "It's not just a place!" The city wall has collapsed, and the entire city wall will fail. Fujun Wan puts the overall situation first, and the most important thing is to retreat into the inner city to command street battles!"

Cui Lie looked sad, but he also knew that this was not the moment to sacrifice his life for righteousness. He threw down the dagger in his hand angrily, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Boys, retreat with the old man and retreat into the inner city to defend. We must fight until the reinforcements arrive. !"

But at this moment, at the Qianghu Zhongjun, Han Sui's face was also full of grimness, and he shouted at the order around him: "Set fire, burn everything, and let the people of Liangzhou see the fate of being an enemy of the Iron Qiang League!" !"

"General, the city of Ji has been destroyed. We still need to defend the city to destroy the reinforcements. If the city is burned, all we will get is a ruin..." Guo Tu looked at Han Sui as if he were looking at a monster. He couldn't think of Han Sui at all. Behind that stupidity, there was such a frenzied side.

"At this time, where do we need Jicheng?" Han Sui's eyes were red, and he looked more and more like a beast that would choose to eat people: "How much time can Ma Chao and others give us? Even if we get this ruined city, what's the use. With Jicheng's support until now, we have already lost! It's better to leave a sea of ​​flames and let the people of Liangzhou remember who I am, Han Sui!"

Guo Tu was silent, looking at Han Sui's long hair as pale as a human bone and his red eyes, he felt horrible and ferocious, but also added a trace of contempt.

What Han Sui said is right, if the soldiers of Jicheng saw the army attacking the city and fled without fighting, they would still have a chance to fight Ma Chao and other reinforcements.But now that the battle has progressed to this point, the Qianghu army is exhausted, with more than half of the casualties, so how can they have the energy to fight Ma Chao and others again?Because of this, Han Sui became angry from embarrassment and wanted to burn Jicheng down.

And Guo Tu's disdain for Han Sui also stems from this. Han Sui is like a gambler who can't afford to lose. The rogue among gamblers.

Perhaps, even God can't understand people like Han Sui, so a scout rushed over in horror: "Leader, Ma, Ma Chao's army is here!"

Han Sui suddenly turned his head and looked to the east. In the dark night, a cavalry was flying towards him. In front of him, a big flag with horse characters was so powerful and strange under the light of the fire, like a life-threatening flag waved from under the nine springs. ...

"It's over, it's over!" Han Sui looked at the Qianghu army who had been sent into Jicheng by himself with his eyes, and felt that his heart was bleeding.At the same time, looking at the handsome and murderous face of Ma Chao under the banner, he suddenly became ruthless: "Let's withdraw!"

"Father, there are still [-] troops on the city wall, don't we need to order them to withdraw?!" Dong Bai was also dumbfounded at this time, he couldn't figure out what Han Sui's move meant.

"Hahaha, if they don't withdraw, we can withdraw!" Han Sui looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, like a madman: "I need to see whether he, Ma Chao, wants to be this vengeful ghost or a loyal minister to save the Han Dynasty. What's more , the [-] Qiang and Hu troops have already killed their eyes, and even if he wants to save Ma Chao, he will have to cut a tooth!"
