The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

After Ma Chao learned that he had been tricked, until now was the time to test himself, he must not show any signs of panic.

Ma Chao's first thought was to invite Liao Li, his grain and grass officer and the only think tank at the moment.

Ma Chao hurriedly ordered to his soldiers: "Hurry up and invite the grain and grass officer."

"Yes."

After a while, Liao Li came in with the tent up, and Ma Chao immediately ordered all the soldiers to go out to hold hands. Liao Li asked eagerly, "General, how are you?"

Ma Chao truthfully told Liao Li about the information collected by Pound, and Ma Chao asked Liao Like what countermeasures he had.

Liao Li pondered for a long time and said two choices.The first is to attack Lingling City forward, and the other is to attack Lingling Pass backward. No matter which one you attack, you will face the danger of being attacked by the enemy, and the second method has a greater probability of success.Liao Li asked Ma Chao to choose which one to choose.

Ma Chao pondered for a long time, unable to make a decision. He stood up alone, thought for a while and said, "Sir, I chose to attack Lingling City. My Ma's army can only advance to die, and never retreat to live."

Liao Li looked at the vigorous and passionate general in front of him, and he planned to give his last ray of light.

Liao Li clasped his hands and said, "General, since we have chosen to fight fiercely at Lingling City, I think our army will have a bloody battle tomorrow, and it will also be a protracted war of exhaustion. The soldiers may not be able to eat, since we don't have much food anyway. , I suggest to make a bag of fried rice for all the soldiers and hang it behind their waists, they must be hungry and can't hold on, so they can just eat fried rice and continue fighting."

Ma Chao looked at the grain and grass officer, and kept shouting, "Okay."

At this time, Ma Chao looked at the grain and grass officer in front of him, and he could see that this grain and grass officer was no longer a pure grain and grass officer, but the brains of his Ma family army.

In this way, they all reached the day of attack the next day.

On the second day, in the early morning, the horn of the bullhide charge soared into the sky, and the horn made a sound of "woo... woo... woo", which was distant and desolate.

The Xiliang iron cavalry began to gather at the foot of Lingling City. They began to run from the gate of Dazhai one after another, then rode their horses with whips, and then continued to ride fast. The ground rose, and countless wolf smoke spread in the sky... ………

First there was the sound of horns and horns, then the roar of soldiers, and finally the sound of galloping horses' hoofs, and then all three sounds were mixed together.

Fengyun's iron cavalry seemed to roll up a hurricane on the ground, like a tsunami, like a landslide, like a mountain torrent, overwhelming, surging, overwhelming, the whole ground began to shake, then shook, and then jumped.

Standing on the top of the city, Chen Zhen and Xing Daorong were puzzled. Could it be that Ma Chao would not be able to directly attack the city with cavalry?But how can simple cavalry attack this strong city defense?Are they within reach? ...

A series of questions continued to be calculated in their hearts.

Just when they were puzzled, they saw that the cavalry suddenly stopped advancing, and the cavalry was divided into ten thousand-man formations and scattered on both sides, and finally appeared in the middle of the giant siege vehicle, the ladder, and the ram that hit the city gate.

The infantry also formed a phalanx for every 1000 people. Ma Chao came straddling his horse, and next to him were two brothers, Ma Dai and Ma Xiu.

Ma Chao ordered: "In the first attack, invest in three thousand-man teams, and I will directly attack the enemy's city head."

"yes, Sir."

Ma Dai waved the military flag lightly, waving the semaphore, and told the soldiers in front.

Pang De, who had just been promoted to lieutenant general, saw Ma Dai's semaphore and immediately ordered three phalanxes to attack Lingling City at the same time.

The infantry of the three phalanxes began to trot at an accelerated speed, and they used layers of shields as cover.

And the soldiers on the siege ladder also began to draw bows and shoot arrows, getting ready for everything.

Xing Daorong ordered: "Brothers, kill me."

Suddenly rows of bows and arrows took the lead in killing them.

A rain of arrows fell and shot on the siege vehicle, making a "kicking" sound, and shooting on the shield made a "dangling" sound. Despite the protection of the shield, some people were still hit and killed. Blood sprayed out directly along the shaft of the arrow, and the soldiers behind had no choice but to go around him and make up for it in order to keep the team airtight, leaving him moaning, struggling, and suffering until he died.

And after a rain of arrows on the city, the archers hidden behind the shield shot directly at the top of the city, and for the unsuspecting soldiers on the top of the city, the death toll would be even more. The soldiers below shot down, and more soldiers died on the top of the city.

After two rounds of volleys, the Wancheng soldiers got the ladder and drove to the top of the city wall. They came directly from the siege vehicles, and the Wancheng soldiers ran directly to the top of Lingling City as if they were walking.

On the way to reunion, Wancheng soldiers faced an ambush from Jingzhou soldier archers. When they rushed to the top of the city wall, they faced long spears about two battles long.

"Pu"

A soldier hadn't reached the top of the Lingling city wall. He looked at the sharp blade at his waist. Although he was holding a long knife in his hand, he obviously couldn't reach it. The blood flowed directly from the corner of his mouth. His strength was gone, and then he screamed and fell to the wall, unable to get up again.But the second soldier continued to charge and scream...

Ma Dai looked at the top of the wall and asked, "Brother, do you really want to fight like this?"

Ma Chao looked back at his brother, sighed helplessly, "Call me."

Ma Chao didn't tell anyone about the military rations and the situation of facing a double attack, because if one less person knows, there will be less danger.

The ladders were constantly being burned, and soldiers kept falling down the city. The archers on the siege vehicles were shooting arrows desperately, just to relieve the pressure on the siege soldiers. The ruthless feathered arrows drew dazzling arcs in the air, Until a life was hit, it opened its helpless arms, and there was no more thinking, only a piece of dust left.
