"Hmph, the seeds of Yi and Di know how powerful Jiuzhou is. Shoot!"
Seeing the strange behavior of Ma Chao's subordinates, Xia Houyuan's eyes flashed with contempt. As he waved his long sword, arrows were flying all over Chang'an City.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Countless arrows hit the iron shields of Ma Chao's soldiers, making a harsh sound.
The Yi and Di people had thick iron shields, covering their bodies and legs, which were airtight. Although their arrows were sharp, they could not injure the Xiliang army and horses at all.
"shoot!"
"shoot!"
Xia Houyuan and Wei Kang waved their swords repeatedly, and after firing arrows for several rounds, they still watched helplessly as the Yi Di soldiers rushed into the gate of Chang'an City.
"Woo!"
As the foreign trumpet sounded, several more formations rushed out of the camp of the Yidis soldiers.
This time, the foreign soldiers, guarding the huge battering ram, followed the passage covered by the shields of the first group of soldiers and rushed straight to the gate of Chang'an City.
"Quick, get some boiling oil. This barbarian is a bit evil. I just don't know if he can handle boiling oil!"
Xia Houyuan also had to admit that these iron turtle-like Xiliang soldiers were indeed immune to crossbows.
If you want to defeat the enemy from a long distance, you must have Datong's subordinates step on the crossbow, and the bed crossbow can be effective.
The defense of Jiuzhou City is so mysterious. During the Seven Heroes period of the Warring States Period, the Mohists had dozens of ways to defend the city.
This thing about Roman soldiers is just a wonderful thing, so I was a little surprised when I saw it for the first time.
Cao Jun at the top of the city, but heeding the general's orders, brought boiling oil and poured it down from the top of the city.
Although the Roman descendant wearing short iron armor protected his head and face, the boiling oil still splashed on his unclothed legs and feet, and several Roman soldiers immediately fell down at the foot of Chang'an City.
On a high ground not far from Chang'an City, Jin Machao watched his soldiers attack the city, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Beside him, Han Sui saw that the siege of the city was in vain, and the number of soldiers under the city gradually became sparse in order to avoid the boiling oil. He couldn't help but patted his thigh with regret.
"My dear nephew, this must be the mighty and mighty Crow Owl's army. They are indeed brave and mighty, but just by a hair's breadth, they have opened the door to Chang'an for our Longxi brothers!"
"Mr. Han, although these Western barbarians are crude and stupid, they have the skills of civil engineering in their clan, which are very mysterious!"
"The Crow Army is very proficient in siege equipment. Their family members are all in my hands. If you dare not try your best, I will turn my hand and they will be wiped out!"
"Look, Mr. Han, Chang'an City will definitely be destroyed today!"
Ma Chao's face was filled with a gentle smile, just like the most beautiful beauty in the western part of Kyushu.
It's just that the people of Wuwei, including those from Hu and Han, all know that this eldest son is much more difficult to maintain than Ma Teng.
He had only been in power for a month, and countless disobedient people were hanging around Wuwei City every day.
As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, several strange-looking ladders with iron hooks in front were swarmed out of the wooden walled city by crow troops.
At the top of the city, Cao's army was busy pouring oil on them. They didn't hold any bows and crossbows. They were yelled by the Roman soldiers and rushed to the city wall. They hung ladders that were very different from those in the Central Plains on the city wall!
The most brutal battles in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were Sun Jian's attack on Xiakou and Zhangjiao's siege of Julu.
Both the Han army's ladders and the Yellow Turban army's siege ladders were ordinary wooden ladders that were lengthened and had no tricks.
This Xiliang ladder is different. The wood is thick and wide, so the soldiers don't have to climb. Instead, they can climb up the high wall like stone steps.
Han Sui saw at a glance that there were five or six sets of ladders. Cao Jun at the top of the city tried hard to break one of the iron hooks, causing the ladders to fall. The remaining ones were all tall military commanders wearing high crowns and feathers.
Wei Xianden.
People from the Central Plains, except Fang Guang, even Ma Chao don't know.
In the land of Rome, this was called a centurion, and no one except the bravest in the army could take on this role.
During the civil war between Caesar and Pompey, the best centurion in Caesar's army claimed to be able to kill a hundred Pompey's soldiers.
In the Kingdom of Rome, men should be familiar with the art of sword and shield when they are young. But in an instant, dozens of crow soldiers stood at the top of Chang'an City. They drew their daggers and began to drive away Cao's army who was pouring oil.
"Hmph, I am a member of the Yi and Di tribes, how can I know how strong the Han generals are!"
Xia Houyuan shouted and waved the long knife in his hand. The wind of the knife swept over the head and neck of the nearest Roman centurion. He had already knocked this man down.
The Roman soldiers were the best at attacking together. Seeing the ferocity of the talented people, three of them hugged their waists and four of them hugged their legs, and they rushed forward without fear of death.
Just like the most difficult warriors to deal with the Gauls, these Roman Houyi, after paying the price of three of their comrades, climbed like monkeys onto the majestic body of Miaocai.
Seeing that Xia Houyuan was about to arrive at Dingjun Mountain 20 years in advance, he unexpectedly ushered in his own Dingjun Mountain!
Although Wei Kang was a high-ranking scribe born in Xiaolian, he shouted loudly, led the intimidated soldiers of Cao's army, swarmed forward, and got entangled with the Roman soldiers.
There was a sudden chaos on the city wall. If it was a horse fight, Xia Houyuan would naturally not be afraid of the Yi and Di soldiers.
The Roman infantry loved this kind of small-scale coordinated combat. Most of the Latin military talents were focused on infantry combat.
Although Miao Cai was brave, his calf had already been cut by an Iberian-style dagger. He was knocked down several times with a broadsword, and was dragged down desperately by the soldiers behind him.
It was a fierce battle. The Roman army had obviously prepared a drill in advance, and they were fighting fiercely at the top of the city.
Several centurions led their troops to the city gate, killed Cao's army and opened the city gate.
One hundred thousand Xiliang soldiers and horses were waiting for the moment the city gate opened. When the city gate opened, Ma Chao's Wolf Cavalry and Han Sui's elite personal troops, together with Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin's army of hundreds of battles, marched towards the city of Chang'an.
Come rushing.
Xia Houyuan was careless after all. He did not expect that the Roman army's siege equipment was so weird, the infantry was so sharp, and the Latin style coordination made Cao's army uncomfortable.
Of course, if the strength of the two armies is equal, Cao Jun can fight back and win if he replaces his horses with horses.
It's just a battle in Chang'an City. It's not evenly matched. There are a hundred thousand Xiliang cavalry, eyeing Guanzhong, and the city relies on talented people.
After Fang Guang entered Cao's camp, the first general he made friends with stood on the streets of Chang'an City.
Looking at the smoke and dust brought up by thousands of troops outside the city, a flash of despair flashed in his eyes!
Xia Houyuan remembered his lord's instructions, his eyes were sharp, and he was ready to fight to the death.
Just when he was filled with thoughts of killing himself and becoming a benevolent person, he was suddenly kicked hard on the hip by someone.
To the west of Tongguan and to the east of Wuwei, there were only a handful of people who dared to kick Xia Houyuan. Miao Cai turned around in anger, but it was scholar Wei Kang who looked at him with an annoyed expression.
"Why are you afraid of death? Telling Si Nong everything about today in detail and retaking Guanzhong for the Prime Minister is the most important thing!"
"If Chang'an is broken, there will still be Tongguan. If Tongguan is broken, there will still be Juancheng and Xuchang. Only those who can bend and stretch can be a man!"
Wei Kang's words were like cold water poured on Xia Houyuan's head, making him wake up instantly.
"Let's go!" The general in Cao's camp, whose fate was destined to be tied to the Western Frontier, glanced at the Xiliang cavalry and Yi Di soldiers behind him bitterly, then got on his horse and took Wei Kang with him, together with his retinue.
