Three Kingdoms New Malaysia Super League

Chapter 533
The war drums rumbled across the ground like a dull thunder, and the huge phalanx under the city of Chang'an began to shake. At first glance, it seemed as if the whole plain was shaking!
The shouts of killing were earth-shattering, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army rolled towards Chang'an City like a tide.

Ma Chao didn't wear his conspicuous brocade robes and battle armor, but instead wore a school captain's service similar to Zhang Xiu's. Standing side by side with Zhang Xiu in the middle of the Chinese army, he said in a low voice, "Let's begin..."

Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji heard the words, and they all clasped their fists to accept the order, and the four sentry flags shuttled back and forth among the army formations: After two days of fighting, these Xiliang veterans finally recovered a little bit. The former iron-blooded style.

Holding their shields high, they rushed down the city following Pao Ze beside them.All movements, through hard training, have become part of their natural reactions.And under excellent and competent command, they can display inestimable combat power!
Arrows were still being fired on Chang'an City, but compared to the previous few times, there were surprisingly few arrows. Although a few people were shot down, it was like a drop in the bucket for the siege army that was rushing like a tide.

At the same time, Xu Rong stood on the city and commanded the imperial troops and county soldiers to throw kerosene canisters down the city.

The fire oil tank is to put fire oil in a clay pot, then wrap it with hay, ignite the hay, and throw it towards the densely populated place under the city.

Those kerosene tanks fell among the crowd. On the open ground, the pottery tanks shattered and burst into flames. In an instant, thick smoke billowed outside Chang'an City. From that scene, Ma Chao suddenly thought that he was watching a classic TV show.

The power of kerosene injection is much greater than that of bows and arrows.It hit the Northwest soldier, instantly turning him into a burning man, screaming and rolling on the battlefield.

Ma Chao watched from a distance, and there was no trace of pity in his heart.As if playing a real-life strategy game, his face was cold, thinking about how many arrows, kerosene, boiling water, rolling logs, stones, and crossbow bolts for destroying mountain crossbows were left in Chang'an City.

This time, Ma Chao carried out the siege after the Northwest Army rested for two days.On the one hand, the prestige of the Northwest Army in the two counties of Jingzhao and Fengyi is already in full swing, and many bandits and refugees have joined in speculation; on the other hand, the siege of Chang'an by the army has also caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on Chang'an.

Of course, the main reason is that without engineering equipment, Ma Chao would not be like the generals of the Han Dynasty, letting soldiers use their lives to fill up the road to the city. In the past two days, Ma Chao ordered a batch of siege equipment to be produced in a hurry , although compared with the Ma family's siege vehicles and trebuchets, it is almost a pile of garbage, but it is better than nothing.

At this time, Ma Chao nodded slightly when he saw that the fire oil tank had been thrown on Chang'an City.Afterwards, there was a piercing sound of pulling the rope behind the formation, and with a huge whistling, huge boulders rose into the air.Some of them flew into the city, while others hit the city wall accurately. Broken human bodies and fragments of the city wall that had been cracked into mud and rocks flew all over the sky.

Under such a powerful stone-throwing attack, in less than a moment, all the turrets and gate towers on the west side of Chang'an had collapsed.

With the cover of the catapult, the Northwest Army under the city can finally breathe a sigh of relief, avoid the attack of the mountain-destroying crossbow and bow and arrow on the city, and put the ladder on the top of the city.And that heavy cart was gradually pushed under the gate of Chang'an City.

Xu Rong saw the northwest soldiers rushing down the city, his face remained calm, and when the chariot had really reached the city gate, he shouted loudly: "Water!"

Pots of steaming hot water were poured down from the top of the city. From a distance, it was as if white dragons riding clouds and fog rushed out from the top of Chang'an City. As he was doing it, his skin was burnt to pieces.

"Let go of the log!"

Xu Rong yelled again, and then, tree trunks that needed two people to hug were smashed down from the city, and the Northwest soldiers were bloody and bloody.

Seeing this, Ma Chao in the distance couldn't help but frowned: without the cover and attack of Ma's powerful catapults, he could only rely on his life to bet on the outcome of a siege battle.Moreover, at present, for Xu Rong, who still has [-] swearing-to-death soldiers in his hands and drives those county soldiers, the odds of winning this siege battle are not great...

Sure enough, before he stopped thinking about it, Ma Chao saw that most of the logs had hit the ram.Then, the soldiers on the city threw the fire oil tank down, and immediately turned the rushing car into a pile of burning wooden cars.

Ma Chao knew that the city gate of Chang'an was made of wood core covered with iron sheet, which was extremely thick and strong.The fire couldn't burn it at all.Once the iron latch is hung on the inside, it may not be able to shake it even if it is smashed with a huge boulder.In other words, once the car was destroyed, the hope of breaking through the city gate and entering the city was wiped out.

And even if the city gate was breached, Ma Chao still knew that Chang'an had two inner and outer walls in ancient times, and the walls on both sides formed a square open space.As soon as the outer city gate is broken, the enemy army breaks into the open space, and the inner city sluice is closed. After the walls are blocked, ambushes suddenly rise up on the city wall. Urn City".

That is to say, even if the Northwest Army attacked the city wall, it would be extremely difficult to break through the Wengcheng.Unless, as I did back then, I used absolute siege firepower to beat Chang'an soldiers so that they didn't even dare to set up an ambush in the Wengcheng, then they could attack Chang'an in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao looked at the city wall of Chang'an from a distance, saw the smoke rising from the rammed-earth city wall occasionally smashed by stones, the gravel, wood and corpses under the city wall, and sighed leisurely, helplessly. Said: "Let's withdraw troops..."

"My lord, we only carried out a few tentative attacks, but this general attack has just started, why did you..." Guo Si looked at it with great interest at this time, with eyes like a greedy wolf.Suddenly hearing Ma Chao's order to retreat, he couldn't help but speak.

"I said, withdraw the troops!" Ma Chao turned his head and looked at Guo Bang coldly, without any reservation of contempt and indifference in his eyes: "Don't you understand human speech?!"

"Yes, yes... this subordinate obeys orders." Guo Bang was stared at by Ma Chao, and thinking of the days before, he secretly heard Ma Chao yelling at him for his stupidity of beheading Song Yi.

"What?" Seeing Ma Chao's appearance, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked, "Could it be that my virtuous brother..." At this point, Guo Jia seemed to suddenly think of something, and when he looked back, he saw Jia Xu was indeed looking like an old god. He couldn't help but shut up again.But he sighed again in his heart: It seems that Ma Chao has already made arrangements for breaking Chang'an...

Bang Bang Bang Bang!

A burst of gongs reminded that the Northwest soldiers retreated like a tide after paying less than a few thousand casualties.

"Stop shooting arrows, stop shooting arrows!"

A burst of cheers resounded from above Chang'an City.Xu Rong took a breath, walked behind the female wall, and leaned over to look out of the city.After vaguely seeing the young general in the tents of the army, after receiving a letter, there seemed to be a smile on his blurred face.

Xu Rong frowned, he couldn't think of any valuable news related to the capture of Chang'an.And if Ma Chao learned about Xu Rong's thoughts, he might laugh more happily: the letter only mentioned that Tong Yuan had been captured by Brother Chou, and that he had learned that Tong Yuan had notified his third disciple Zhao Yun to Fufeng... …

But Chang'an stood in front of Zhao Yun, an unstoppable natural moat.
