Chapter 392
Sure enough, Lu Bu crushed the Fufeng paper in his hand, and said coldly to Xu Rong, "General Xu, prepare to attack the city!"

Lu Bu had only [-] infantry under his command, and the remaining [-] were all Bingzhou wolf cavalry.Among Xu Rong's men, among the seven thousand soldiers and horses, there were also two thousand cavalry.Both of them knew that using cavalry to break through the fort was a bit whimsical.

This is not to say that the cavalry cannot attack the city. In fact, most of the siege battles are put down by the cavalry's indomitable charge.But this requires a prerequisite, that is, the city gate has been breached or is about to be breached.Otherwise, the knights on horseback look at the enemies on the wall several feet high, and they have no other role other than being swimming targets... Unless, these cavalry have excellent running skills and can fight against the enemy troops on the wall. shoot.

But in fact, all the generals knew that the Han people were indeed inferior to the nomads who grew up on horseback in terms of riding and archery.Not only is it difficult to aim at the target when riding and shooting, but it is also difficult for soldiers to balance on horseback with the one-sided stirrups of the Han Dynasty.Therefore, whether the Han people deal with nomadic tribes such as the Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Karasuma, they always use a mixed army formation to learn from each other's strengths.

Therefore, Lu Bu immediately ordered Wang Yun's patchwork of private soldiers to form a siege force to test the defense of Gongwu.With the long whip pointing down, the siege vanguard shouted in unison, the drums thundered, and a team of thousands began to shout and march forward. Everyone held shields and ring swords, protecting Duo and rushed towards the city wall on cloud ladders.

In ancient wars, it was very convenient to manufacture ladders. Generally, local materials were obtained, and trees were cut down to tie them.Although it is difficult to guarantee the quality and the safety is very low, when did you take these trivial matters into consideration in war?

After escaping the dense rain of arrows from the city of Gongwu, these 1000 people finally leaned those ladders against the city wall after paying 200 deaths and injuries, and began to climb up. Another 30 people pushed the carts to the city. Below the door, the sound of drums and horns was overwhelmed by a loud crash.But before they hit a few times, the battle drums sounded on the city, rolling trees and rocks fell like rain, those ladders were also pushed down by refusal poles, Sergeant Lu Bu's body fell from mid-air, bloody and bloody, and the chariot was smashed to pieces by the boulder Bad.

Seeing these scenes, both Lu Bu and Xu Rong looked very calm, without any nervous expression.Then there was the sound of gold ringing, and the sergeants gradually retreated: most of the sergeants hadn't climbed up yet, and the wounded were not as many as imagined.

This was just an appetizer at the beginning. Lu Bu, Xu Rong, and Ma Chao, Li Ru, Gao Shun, Man Chong, Han Feng and others who were standing on the wall of Gongwu all knew this.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, Lu Bu's second wave of siege began again. Just like the first siege, Gongwu City also began to fight back.

This trial went back and forth more than 20 times, all of which were just a taste, and Ma Chao in the city was also very cautious, and did not abuse wood and stone.But when it was almost dawn, Lu Bu's army launched a fierce attack, and the offensive was in full swing. The sergeants climbed upwards risking their lives, even boarded the city wall, and started a bloody battle on the city, but in the end Gao Shun fell into the camp to guard However, Lu Bu's army was still defeated.

However, the next thing Gao Shun, who was staring at the battlefield all the time, changed his expression. He was by nature the most calm among Ma Chao's generals, but at this moment he couldn't help saying with a trembling voice: "My lord, look, they actually have Catapult!"

Ma Chao's expression froze, then he became indifferent again, and said, "Liu Xie, Liu Xie, I really underestimated you..."

Seeing that Ma Chao was not in the mood to answer his question, Gao Shun couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Ru.And Li Ru grabbed his beard and said: "There is Beiyuan in the imperial palace, where the imperial army is stationed. There are only ordinary equipment in it, so it is impossible to have such siege objects. But two miles away from the imperial palace, there is also the royal Shanglin Garden. It is the Ordnance Manufacturing Department. From this point of view, Lu Bu's testing back and forth this time is just delaying time, waiting for the arrival of these catapults! Lu Bu and Xu Rong, they really have some tricks!"

But after hearing this, Ma Chao's expression remained unchanged.Staring at the far west: Fazheng, Lu Bu has wasted more than an hour, if I find that you haven't arrived at Gongwu in the next hour, then you will completely leave the core of the Ma family !

The dozen or so catapults were not hastily made at first glance, but listening to the rumbling sound, one could guess that they were the fine works of the craftsmen in Shanglinyuan after a lot of research.When they were about [-] steps away from the fort, the catapults stopped. Lu Bu gave an order, and huge boulders rose into the air and smashed heavily on the city wall.

Although Fatty Dong built the city of Gaowu, it was as high as the first fortress of the Han Dynasty.However, under the sudden blow of such a sharp siege weapon, it seemed to shake slightly: Although the city wall several feet thick did not shake at all, the sight of rubble splashing on the tower and everyone running and screaming miserably always made people think that the city wall was real. Trembling in the whistling sound.

At this time, Ma Chao's eyes narrowed slightly. He saw the flesh and blood from the huge boulder flying everywhere, and then the defenders on the city wall braved the arrows and began to fire pine oil rockets at the enemy with their crossbows.Ma Chao knew that this was actually his luck.Because although his ancestral home is Fufeng Maoling County, in the eyes of these Xiliang soldiers who surrendered, he is actually from Xiliang, and it is easier to accept him emotionally.

In addition, long ago, under Li Ru's strategy and Dong Zhuo's connivance, these Xiliang soldiers had a tolerant hatred with Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army.If other people came to attack Gongwu, they might not be so desperate.But just in the direction of the opponent's general, a big "Lv" flag was flying. From this, they knew that they didn't need Ma Chao to deliberately win over and encourage them when they had no way out, so they risked their lives to fight the enemy who attacked the city. Army fighting.

But it's a pity that although the mighty crossbow on the wall of Gongwu is fierce, it is not the mountain-destroying crossbow improved by the Ma family.Coupled with the difficulty of aiming, only less than half of the trebuchets of Lu Bu's army were damaged.However, the fire was raging all over the world, and the fierce Xiliang soldiers still shot Lu Bu's forward position to pieces, the flesh and blood were blackened, and the bones were piled up.

Under the cover of the catapult, Lu Bujun pushed the arrow tower and carried the ladder to attack the city again. Although the height of the arrow tower was not as high as the city wall, it could barely resist the counterattack of the crossbow. The beautiful arc passed through the robust body, splashing dazzling blood.Blood, just like this, was splattered in front of the city wall.

And when Lu Bujun boarded the city wall again, Ma Chao said in a tone without the slightest emotion: "Let Zhang Liao and Xu Huang prepare to attack..."

Gao Shun wanted to warn him, but he saw that there were not many soldiers standing on the city wall at this time, and Lu Bu's attack was like fire without leaving any room.He had no choice but to grit his teeth and flee from the city wall with the trapped camp, preparing to set up a simple battle formation at the gate of the city after Zhang Liao and Xu Huang sent troops.

Although, he also knew that the battle formation did not have much effect on the tens of thousands of cavalry who suddenly rushed in.But he resolutely chose to do this: because he is a soldier who is truly loyal to his duty and honor!And it is precisely because of this that his subordinates' camp is still being recited by people after thousands of years!
