Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 597 Ma Chao Comes to Help, Gu Zang Attacks

"Father!" When Ma Chao saw Ma Teng's severed arm, his eyes turned red.

"Which guy did this?" Ma Chao roared like a wounded beast.

"Don't worry about it, my son. It's a blessing to be able to save a life." Ma Teng patted Ma Chao's shoulder with difficulty with his remaining arm.

"Lancers obey orders!" Ma Chao didn't take Ma Teng's words.

"Here!" All the Lancers shouted in unison.

"Order to escort my father back to Guzang City at all costs!" Ma Chao shouted angrily.

"No!" All the Lancers agreed in unison.

"My son, what are you going to do?" Ma Teng asked anxiously.

"If you don't avenge this revenge, you swear you won't be a human being!" Ma Chao threw down such a sentence, and then wanted to slap his horse and kill Cao Jun.

"Stop!" Ma Teng shouted angrily.

"It's not today to seek revenge. If you dare to seek revenge, you will kill yourself right here for your father!" Ma Teng put his sword across his neck.

"Hey! That's all, let's repay this revenge in the future, and the child will escort his father to break out first!" Ma Chao sighed.

Afterwards, Ma Chao took the Lancers to escort Ma Teng and a group of remnants of the defeated generals to start a breakout operation.

Although Cao Jun has a large number, Ma Chao and the Lancers are not vegetarians. Under their beastly offensive, the soldiers of Cao Jun who intercepted were defeated one after another, and no one could stop them.

Even Jiang Song, who was fighting Ma Chao, retreated helplessly. Jiang Song said to Cao Ren with a face of shame: "General, Ma Chao has a will to die, and his fighting spirit is unprecedented. The last general really can't stop him."

After hearing this, Cao Ren comforted him and said, "It's okay, the soldiers of the Ma family suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and Ma Teng even lost his arm. My lord's goal has been achieved."

After returning to Wuwei, Ma Teng was bandaged by the doctor, which saved his life.

At this time, Ma Teng had completely lost his former style, only his face was pale, and the sleeve of his right arm was empty.

Ma Teng was also open-minded, and didn't take the matter of the broken arm to heart.

……

The next day, Cao Cao led the soldiers of the three armies to the city of Guzang, preparing to forcibly attack the city.

Cao Jun's scouts have found the whereabouts of Lu Bu's soldiers, and Cao Cao doesn't have much time to waste in Xiliang.

Judging from the marching speed of the Youzhou army, Cao Cao only had two days at most. If he could not attack Guzang City in two days, Cao Cao would have to abandon the troops of the Ma family.

On Guzang City, a lot of rolling logs, stones and strong bows were prepared, the boiling golden juice was bubbling in the pot, and the stench was suffocating from a distance, the smell was very unpleasant.

But compared with strong bows, there are not many hard crossbows on the towers.

This is because the law of the Eastern Han Dynasty stipulates that hard crossbows cannot go out at will.

Although it is not as good as before, the Ma family is located in Xiliang, and Xiliang soldiers ride and shoot more, and use bows instead of crossbows, which leads to the lack of hard crossbows in Ma Teng's army.

This defense battle lacks a hard crossbow, which is not a good thing.

The ruddy complexion of Cao Cao in the city was in stark contrast to the pale Ma Teng.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Brother Shoucheng! Now Xiancheng surrenders, I will spare you!"

Facing the dark army of Cao under the city, Ma Teng had no fear at all.

Ma Teng scolded angrily: "Cao Cao, you are just a spoiled eunuch. The Ma family has been loyal and good for generations. I am ashamed to talk too much to you! If you have any ability, you will use it. There is a saying in the art of war: 'Ten is surrounded, five is attacked , times will fight'! The old man wants to see how you can take this Guzang City!"

After Ma Teng's words fell, the Xiliang soldiers on the top of the city shouted loudly, and did not pay attention to Cao Jun's soldiers.

These Xiliang soldiers are all warriors who have fought in the Qianghu land all year round. How could this situation scare them?
Hearing this, Cao Cao snorted coldly, and then ordered: "Siege the city!"

With Cao Cao's order, tens of thousands of troops quickly launched an attack on Guzang City under Cao Ren's dispatch.

"The whole army is attacking, and today we swear to break the city to the death. Whoever dares to retreat will be killed immediately!" Cao Ren shouted sharply, with a strong chill on his face.

"Woooo..."

The horn sounded in all directions of Guzang City, as desolate as the earth weeping.

"kill!"

Cao Jun's soldiers shouted in unison, and then, with their shields and ladders on their backs, they blatantly rushed towards Guzang City.

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing Cao Jun's aura of swallowing Wuwei alive, Ma Chao shouted and ordered to shoot arrows.

Following Ma Chao's order, Xiliang warriors on the city wall bent their bows and shot arrows at Cao Jun who was besieging the city.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The rain of arrows from the warriors of Xiliang came head-on, densely packed and overwhelming!
Thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city, and the attack was like a tide under the city wall.

The fierce soldiers of Xiliang on the city tower kept bending their bows and setting arrows, throwing logs and rocks down the city, even if their hands were dripping with blood, they did not dare to relax for a moment.

The overwhelming Cao Jun soldiers are like a colony of ants, endlessly rushing towards Guzang City, obviously they will never stop until they break the city.

The arrows hitting the shield made muffled sounds from time to time, but not all Cao Jun soldiers had such good luck.

Countless Cao soldiers were shot by random arrows and knocked down by trees and stones, and they fell to the ground with a howl.

Not long after, blood flowed like rivers under the Guzang city, and corpses littered the field.

The crossbowmen in Cao Jun's formation below the city also shot at the city wall, and the defenders on the tower were shot and fell to the ground from time to time.

Because the firepower on Guzang City was too fierce, Cao Jun's soldiers rushed for a long time but did not achieve any results.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and shouted murderously: "All the soldiers will attack the city with all their strength. After breaking the city, you will plunder the rape as much as you want. I will not ask for any crime!"

"Kill! Rob money, grab women!"

Inspired by Cao Cao, the soldiers of Cao Jun who got the promise launched a more violent siege.

Their faces were ferocious, wishing they could break through the city gate in one go, wash Gu Zang with blood, and plunder as much as they wanted.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Ma Teng turned cold. This Cao Cao has always used any means to achieve his goals!

The soldiers of Xiliang were filled with righteous indignation after hearing Cao Cao's words, and even more vigorously greeted the attacking Cao army with the guys in their hands.

It was another bloody battle, and Cao Jun reluctantly pushed forward tens of meters, but it cost thousands of lives for this.

But Cao Cao didn't feel bad about it at all, because those who stood in front were all the surrendered soldiers of Li Jue and Guo Si!

The soldiers under Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't compare with Cao Cao's direct descendants, so Cao Cao asked them to stand in front to attract firepower and act as cannon fodder.

The soldiers under Li Jue and Guo Si dared not speak out about this, because if they dared to shrink back, Cao Jun's swords and guns would immediately greet them without hesitation
There is still a way to survive if you go forward bravely, but you can only die if you don't move forward!
This is like a tiger chasing after you, and an abyss in front of you. You may not be able to survive if you jump into it, but you will definitely die if you don't jump.

With such a choice, very few people will stay and become the tiger's lunch, but if there is a chance of survival, who would like to stay where they are and wait to die?

Right now, the descendants of Li Jue and Guo Si are in this embarrassing situation.

　The second watch arrives!It's the beginning of the month, and I'm here to ask my old buddies for a monthly pass, thank you!
