Chapter 372 Ma Shixiong
Zhang Xiu’s camp.
The whole army was burying pots to make rice in the middle of the night, and then prepared to attack the city.
The army has been repairing for many days, and the morale and physical strength of the soldiers have recovered to a certain level. Now the news has spread, and Han Sui has returned to Jincheng.
The soldiers became even more motivated.
Of course, Zhang Xiu also got up early one morning. After having a sumptuous breakfast, he planned to let his personal soldiers come in and prepare a weapon for him.
A personal soldier suddenly hurried in and reported: "Mr. Ming Gong, General Pang De, prepared a coffin for himself."
"Ah!?" Zhang Xiu shouted in surprise, then woke up. This elder brother really took out his own tricks.
The battle is fought to the death with the coffin.
Zhang Xiu scratched his head a little indecently. Now everything is under control. There is no need to do this, right?
When yesterday, Pang De was in charge of the troops.
Zhang Xiu thought for a while, called Dian Wei in, and ordered: "Brother, go and stare at Pang De. Don't let him attack the city by himself. A dignified general cannot be shot to death by arrows in the siege."
"No." Dian Wei Yingnuo said and went down immediately.
Pang De was not an ordinary person, but a general who fought against the West, and was the military commander of Qin and Liang. He was one of the few generals here in Zhang Xiu.
There are not many people who can suppress him, Dian Wei is one.
Since Dian Wei had gone, Zhang Xiu felt relieved. He quickly called his personal soldiers in, put on armor and swords, then left the tent, sat on the war horse, and led the Qing cavalry to the Beiying Gate.
By the time Zhang Xiu arrived at Beiying Gate, Pang De had already pulled out his army and arranged in an orderly manner. He had also pulled out the [well truck] and [ladder truck]. Just by waiting for Zhang Xiu to give him an order, he could lead his army to attack the city.
Under the banner of the "Pang" character, Pang De immediately stood up and talked to the soldiers. But the eyes of the soldiers fell on Dian Wei and the big coffin.
Pang De looked resolute and determined, holding a big knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Ming Gong has an order. If he cannot break the city within ten days, he will lead the army to attack the city himself. I will also give you a death order. If he cannot break the city within five days, I will attack the city himself. Either enter the city and enjoy it, or you will put it in this coffin and buried it in the city."
"At that time, the tombstone will be recorded [Tomb of Pang Hou, the General of the Han Dynasty's Western Expedition]."
Dian Wei was next to him. Hearing the words, he saw this guy. Although he admired him, he would not let Pang Dezhen attack the city.
"Kill!!!!" What else can a general ask for such a man? Pang De is brave and good at fighting and good at raising soldiers. The soldiers are willing to kill and wounded countless times for him and go through fire and water. Hearing this, his blood suddenly surged, and a sound of killing sounded overwhelmingly.
At the camp gate, Zhang Xiu and the generals looked at Pang De and the generals one by one, wishing they could fight immediately.
Gan Ning's eyes were bleeding, and he wanted to take Pang De and lead his army to attack the city first.
Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly, I ordered the city to be broken within ten days, and Pang De ordered the city to be broken within five days, so it was very rolled in, and it was very well rolled up, and the wind and sand in the sky were burying Ma Teng.
"Bang the drum to attack the city." Zhang Xiu exhaled and ordered.
"No." A personal soldier responded to the promise and immediately went down to pass the order.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!!" More than a hundred drummers tried hard to beat the drums in their hands, and the sound of the drums soared into the sky, deafening.
"Kill!!!!" Pang De waved his arm and pointed the sword in his hand at the city. The courage of blood and energy appeared on his face, making his face red.
"Kill!!!" The soldiers who had been unable to bear it for a long time also roared hard, and each of them had their own duties surrounded various siege cars and headed towards the direction of the city.
On the city.
Under the banner of the character "Ma", Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son led all the generals to stand, facing this overwhelming murderous aura.
Ma Teng and his son's expressions were as normal, but many of the generals around them changed slightly.
Han Sui left, and the influence he brought eventually existed.
"Don't be afraid. I have been in Liangzhou for decades. Huangfu Song can't do anything to me, Dong Zhuo can't do anything to me, and Zhang Xiu can't do anything to me today. My Ma family will eventually rule Liangzhou for countless years. Let's fight for me." Ma Teng suddenly pulled out the big sword on his waist and shouted.
"kill!!!!!"
Ma Teng was still prestigious after all, and the soldiers were motivated and roared hard.
"Swoosh swosh swosh!!!" The arrows fired from the well car shot towards Ma Teng.
"Dongdongdongdongdong!!!" A group of personal soldiers struggled to block Ma Teng, holding a shield. The sharp arrows pierced the shield, and the tail of the arrow shook continuously.
Ma Teng and Ma Chao calmly retreated into the city gate building to rest.
In the months before the decisive battle, the blood on the city has not been completely washed away. Today, Zhang Xiu came again, with a heart of iron and stone, sprinkling blood.
Don’t destroy Ji City, don’t return to Chang’an.
"Swoosh swosh swosh!!!" On the city, Ma Teng's archers kept shaking the bowstrings and emitting black arrows.
Under the city, countless Zhang Xiujun archers hid behind the shield soldiers and shot arrows towards the city.
Countless Zhang Xiu's swordsman climbed the ladder, risked being smashed to death, fell to death, and was killed by rolling oil, and rushed to the city.
It seems that this siege battle is no different from the countless siege battles in the previous months, but it is indeed different.
"Ming Gong. There have been more soldiers on our side who have climbed the city wall." Cai Mao looked happy and bowed to Zhang Xiu in a congratulatory tone.
"Yes." Zhang Xiu looked at him and nodded slightly. Of course he could see this too.
Siege is the most tragic battle, no doubt about it. Climbing a city with arrows requires great courage.
When Han Sui was there, although his soldiers climbed up to the city, they did not cause any storm.
But today is different. Zhang Xiu saw a magnificent soldier climbing the city wall with his own eyes, pulled out a big knife, killed three opponent's archers, and then stabbed to death by a spear.
This is a good trend, and as time continues, Ma Teng will eventually be unable to withstand it.
"I ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, and I want to reward the soldiers." Zhang Xiu turned around and said to a personal soldier.
"No." The personal soldier agreed and went down immediately.
Although Pang De activated his skill [Coffin Carrying the Coffin and Death Battle], the effect was not satisfactory. His attack soon ended.
Zhang Xiu ordered Gan Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, replaced him and replaced Pang De's army. After Pang De's army came down, the soldiers could just eat hot meals.
Although they had just had breakfast not long ago, the battle just now made them hungry.
Pang De, Gan Ning, Fan Chou, Hu Zhen and others. The generals and generals under Zhang Xiu led their troops to attack the city in turn and launched a wheel battle, consuming the strength and morale of Ma Teng's army bit by bit.
The fourth night.
Zhang Xiu personally led Dian Wei and his personal soldiers to various camps to visit the wounded soldiers and provide relief to the soldiers. When he came back, it was already late at night and Zhang Xiu was hungry.
"I'm hungry and ordered people to prepare wine and food. I prepare 30% more wine and food than usual." The personal soldiers came up and untied Zhang Xiu's armor. Zhang Xiu spread his arms and ordered.
The personal soldiers had a strange expression, and it seemed bad to eat too much. Moreover, Dian Jun and Minggong had enough food, so would they still have 30% more today?
Of course, the personal soldiers did not dare to say these words, and immediately went down to do it. Soon after, Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei started the Who's the Fried Barrel Competition.
Zhang Xiu lost and ate less than Dian Wei.
Winner of the Binzhu Champion, Dian Wei.
After dinner, Zhang Xiu touched his round belly, smiled and looked up at Dian Wei and said, "Brother, Ma Teng can't hold on for a few days."
"Even if he collapses tomorrow, maybe."
Dian Wei nodded, with a rare smile on his face. Today, the city was already shaking.
They were not far from entering the city. As long as they captured Ji City, it would be difficult for Ma Teng to make a comeback.
The court also had strong management capabilities. As long as Zhang Xiu was given some time and Qinzhou Governor Min Chun, Qinzhou could stabilize.
After eating too much, Zhang Xiu felt a little drowsy. But the book said that it was not good to go to bed immediately after eating. Zhang Xiu could only put on armor and inspect the Central Army camp. After some pensions, he returned to the Central Army tent to sleep.
...
The black clouds are squeezing the city and are about to destroy it.
Both Ma Teng and Yang Fu knew that the city could not be kept.
It was also evening. Ma Teng led his son Ma Chao to patrol the city walls and motivate the soldiers' morale. After returning to the mansion, he immediately summoned important civil and military personnel in the hall.
These people have been deleted and selected, and they are all Ma Teng who thinks they will not betray him. They are either from the Ma clan or relatives of the Ma clan.
Ma Teng raised his head and looked at everyone. Although he was not old, he had a little more dusk energy. He had been in Liangzhou for many years and had been operating in the Longyou area, but now he is leaving.
Although it is not a stranger, it is still a dead end.
Thinking of the years of struggle on the battlefield, Ma Teng felt increasingly unhappy.
"Oh." Ma Teng sighed lightly, and then said sincerely to everyone: "Zhang Xiu is so amazing, Han Sui is not here. We are already dead, and the city is just around the corner. I plan to lead 30,000 cavalry to go north to Han Sui. I will run in Hexi counties. Let's leave tonight. Be careful to gather your family and don't make any noise. Avoid chaos."
Never let others know before they arrive at the last moment. Once others know, some people will create unrest in the city and attempt to kill him.
By then, no one can control the countless soldiers in the city.
"promise."
The city could not be kept, and these people knew it. Therefore, after hearing Ma Teng's words, they all agreed and their faces were calm.
They began to think about taking away property, family, beautiful concubines, etc.
Everyone was convinced, but Ma Chao was dissatisfied. Ma Chao sat next to Ma Teng, stood up after hearing this, clasped his fists and said, "Father. Although the city cannot be defended, there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city."
"In the past, Le Yi broke through Qi's seventy cities, and Tian Dan defended Jimo's two cities. He used the Fire Bull Formation to defeat the Yan army and restore the country. How can we leave without fighting now? I am willing to lead the infantry and cavalry out of the city, attack Zhang Xiu's camp, and fight hard. Or turn the tide and support the generals' building. If we are defeated, it will not be too late to leave again. "
What a good Ma Chao, everyone is convinced.
Only he was dissatisfied.
