360. Chapter 360 Battle Three(1/2)
At this moment, it is already sunset.
Looking up, the setting sun is like blood, and the boundless sea of clouds is churning with blood-like waves, layer upon layer, which is heart-wrenching.
At this time, Ma Chao also ordered the start of the first battle on the city! The first act of today's drama slowly kicked off.
Looking down from the city tower, we can see soldiers carrying siege ladders covered with rattan clothes in groups, running quickly towards the foot of the city. The dry moat cannot stop their turbulent progress.
Arrows rained down from the tower, and the arrows landed on the rattan clothes that had been prepared for them below, making numerous ping-ping-pong-pong-pong sounds. The sound seemed extremely powerful, but they could not penetrate the rattan clothes, so they had no choice but to help the soldiers hiding under the ladder.
Ma Chao's military commander's ambition.
"Long live the God of War in Liangzhou!"
"Come on!"
"Fuck the guy on the other side to death!"
…
The common people who were visiting for free behind the military formation each occupied the commanding heights and saw this scene clearly, so their hearts surged and they could not suppress their excitement! Even the rain of arrows in the sky couldn't do anything to the powerful Ma Chao army! Is it still far away to conquer the city?
?Is it still far away from dividing the spoils? Then the cheers thundered...
Cheng Xuefeng clenched his fist and waved it forward fiercely, "Awesome! Ma Chao really uses his troops like a god. He even uses his infantry to make a profit!"
"Liangzhou God of War! You must work hard!" King Li is also smiling, getting rich is just around the corner!
Not only the two brothers, but also the hundreds of thousands of mobs all had red faces and started shouting at the same time, almost drowning out the loud sounds coming from the battlefield.
"These bumpkins are really useful!" Ma Chao, who stayed behind to observe the situation, looked back and was so excited that he was inspired by the shouts of the mob. A smile appeared on his face. This is what people want!
What lovely people! You can imagine how famous your reputation will be after winning this battle!
On the top of the city tower, Zeng Yu was not too nervous when he saw this scene. If he couldn't even pass this level, as the top leader of the Hu Ce Mansion, would he still dare to stand on the city tower and watch?
Yang Qiu, who is responsible for commanding the battle and has the power to cut off power at the last moment, has no nervous look on his face. This kind of vine that cannot be penetrated by arrows is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is rare in Liangzhou. However, as a famous general who is eager to learn, Yang Qiu
I know a lot about this vine.
For example, to make the kind of rattan under the city, you need to soak the fresh rattan in water for half a month, dry it for three days, then soak it in oil for a week, take it out to dry, and finally apply it with tung oil to make it.
Although he is invulnerable, it is rare in the freezing north. Ma Chao's kid has come up with so many tricks, it must have cost a lot of money!
The biggest flaw of this kind of rattan is that it is coated with tung oil to ensure its toughness to prevent it from drying out and cracking. It is extremely afraid of fire!
And there happened to be an oil tank prepared on the tower!
After giving the order, Li Tianchang and his apprentices immediately got busy.
The masters are all on the front line, and as the owner of the workshop, Li Tianchang is naturally willing to set an example.
"Creak!" With a sound, the prepared oil throwing tank was set up on the throwing machine, the winch was turned on, and the rope was quickly tightened.
This kind of machine is small and exquisite. It is a miniature version of the trebuchet. It is specially used to throw away dirt such as oil cans, poison gas cans, and feces.
It's right in front of you! Stepping on the uneven ground, the soldiers of the Ma family are all full of energy and radiant. These are the potholes made by their trebuchets! The city wall is right in front of you! The time to make great achievements is coming!
Their blood boils!
Just as it happened, hundreds of oil tanks falling from the sky ignited their passion to the climax!
The small jar that suddenly fell hit the ground, the vines, and the soldiers. Oil sprayed everywhere, and the rockets that followed set everything on fire.
The churning flames, visible to the naked eye, reflect the setting sun and tell the story of the cruelty of the battle history!
The blood of the soldiers was really boiling! But their hearts were filled with panic!
Beating flames, thick black smoke, and countless robes rolling and wailing in it.
The living people didn't hesitate and ran away quickly. Some people's armor caught fire and they ran forward desperately. After running a few steps, they suddenly fell down. The fierce flames quickly burned the people into a huddled ball of fire, until
Turn into coke.
If the soldiers who were not on fire ran out to face the rain of arrows, the best outcome would be to leave their bodies intact...
In this way, the thousands of men and horses carefully prepared by Ma Chao were left for nothing under the city tower! None of them came back.
Immediately, an overwhelming roar quickly came from the city tower! The cheers of the mob were now weak, and there were even a few cries of fear...
In order to avoid the disaster, Cheng Xuefeng, King Li, who fled among the chaos, was not very brave. Seeing this tragic scene, he was speechless and refused to say anything! It was not until a long time later that Cheng Xuefeng spoke out
A dry sound: "...it's too...terrible..."
Perhaps because he was actually there, King Li seemed to feel the scorching heat waves wrapping around his body, making him unable to breathe! It was so cruel! Burn him alive!
"Continue the second round! Use the giant shield this time! No Fujii!" Ma Chao ignored the casualties, and his cold voice continued to burst out. In his eyes, the battlefield is so cruel, it is either life or death! There is no need to pretend to be scared or excited
.
"Major General, this time has had a profound impact on our morale..." Ma Liu looked at the heavy casualties among his own horses. The soldiers in the second row were already pale. If they go up at this time, they might...
Ma Chao glanced at him coldly: "Morale! You can only baptize it with war! The more you fight, the braver you become, and the stronger your morale becomes! If all the soldiers are afraid of death, how can there be a distinguished general?"
"No!" Ma Chao insisted, and Ma Liu couldn't object any more!
After Ma Liu retreated, Ma Chao's tense nerves burst suddenly, and he stared at the city tower with vicious eyes: "Damn it! Such a huge loss! What a ruthless guard! When I break the city, I will cut you to death with a thousand knives!"
"
This kind of casualties were actually much more than when he fought against Yan Xing. No wonder he felt so resentful!
As a general, Ma Chao would not be unaware that such casualties would greatly damage his morale.
However, it was this casualty that made him restrain his pride and start to take this city seriously.
If you want to figure out the city defense on the tower, you have to send troops to fill it again! If you don't use cannon fodder to fill it, how can you estimate the true strength of the opposite city?
This is the helplessness of siege! Personal bravery is almost negligible in siege warfare...
He only has two days! If he doesn't conquer the city within two days, the violent mob will attack his camp to pieces!
Ma Chao, who was well aware of the dangers of rioters, had no choice but to risk his life to defend the city. This was his helplessness!
Fortunately, except for the millions of war cavalry following him, the other soldiers could be abandoned.
However, it's time to use these rioters! Just making noise will not help at all. Wouldn't the food supplied to them be in vain?
In Ma Chao's eyes, groups of soldiers were setting up long ladders and hanging huge shields, rushing towards the city without fear of death. At this moment, it was already setting in the west.
Looking up, the setting sun is like blood, and the boundless sea of clouds is churning with blood-like waves, layer upon layer, which is heart-wrenching.
At this time, Ma Chao also ordered the start of the first battle on the city! The first act of today's drama slowly kicked off.
