Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 210 Attack on Didao
At the beginning of March in the third year of Chuping, when Lu Bu and Ma Teng were both injured and had to stop their troops to rest, Luo Zheng, who had been waiting for a long time, brazenly raised his troops and led an army of [-] out of Yuzhong to the south. Dido.

General Pang De, the number one general under Ma Teng's account, immediately reported with deep trenches and high fortifications, trying to defend the city to the death.

For a while, the land of Liangzhou was covered with clouds of war, and the flames of war rose again.

At the same time, the [-] Xiliang army stationed in Chang'an also responded immediately.

Chang'an, Duan Yao's official residence.

"General!"

A small school rushed into the inner hall, cupped his hands to Duan Yan and said, "Ma Teng has retreated!"

"Oh, finally retired to the army?"

Duan Yan asked: "How about the casualties of Ma Teng's army?"

The little principal said furiously: "They were about to be beaten badly. Most of the Qiang soldiers from the two foreign countries were injured or injured, and the rest were all wounded. They would not be able to go to the battlefield in a short time. Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army also suffered heavy casualties. Even the intact Now there are only [-] cavalry left, and even defending the two counties of Anding and Beidi has become a problem, and now is the best opportunity for our army to attack Liangzhou."

Duan Yan lifted his spirits and asked, "Is there any news from Jincheng?"

Xiaoxiao replied: "There is no news from Jincheng yet."

Duan Yan pondered: "Such a good opportunity, Luo Zhengjuan has no reason to let go, and he will definitely send troops!"

Xiaoxiao said: "Even if Luo Zheng sends troops, Di Dao and Ma Teng's [-] troops will stop him. As long as our army can capture Long County before Luo Zheng, we will have the upper hand, and even join forces with Lu Bu to deal with Luo Zheng." sign."

Duan Yan thought for a while, then said: "Shan, quickly summon all the generals to discuss the matter."

"As ordered."

The small school hurriedly obeyed and ran out in big strides.

Gaoping, and the temporary camp of the State Army.

Zhang Liao quickly stepped into the large tent of the Chinese army, cupped his hands to Lu Bu and said, "I have seen my lord."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Wen Yuan is exempt from courtesy, what's happening with Luo Zheng's army?"

Zhang Liao said angrily: "Luo Zheng has personally led the army to the south of Didao."

"I am too angry!"

Lu Bu's face turned livid immediately, and he slapped the table in front of him to pieces.

Next to him, Wei Xuqi's face was ashen and said: "My lord, why don't you join hands with Ma Teng and fight with Luo Zhengpifu."

"Fight, how to fight?"

Lu Buqi's chest heaved sharply like a bellows, and he said fiercely: "At present, more than half of our troops have been killed or injured, and almost all of the remaining soldiers are injured. The remaining [-] cavalry are even problematic in defending Anding and the second counties of Beidi, so how can they fight Luo Zhengpifu?"

All the generals were silent and speechless.

At the north gate of Di Dao, the war drums shook the sky, and the horns sounded together.

Twenty-five thousand troops rolled out of the camp and lined up in Didao City.

In the main formation of the Chinese army, a group of heavy armored infantry stepped forward in a neat line, erecting shields to protect the front formation, and behind them, archers shot at the formation to prevent the Ma Teng army in the city from taking advantage of the situation to attack outside the city.

On the two wings of the army, [-] cavalry were divided into two teams, firmly protecting the two wings.

Luo Zheng was wearing Luo Tie, covered with a black cloak, and a sweaty BMW under his crotch. He was really majestic and high-spirited. He rode alone and urged his horse out of battle. He shouted under the city: "Where is Pang De, do you know this general? "

"Luo Zhengping, eat a certain arrow!"

Steeply heard a roar like thunder from the top of the city, and a powerful arrow flew into the sky.

"Pound Puff, how dare you hurt a certain lord!"

Xu Chuzao yelled loudly, urged his horse forward, and knocked away the powerful arrow piercing through the air with his saber.

Luo Zheng's face was a little gloomy, and he shouted: "Pound, this general cherishes your martial arts, and can't bear to face each other. Ma Teng is struggling to survive. If you open the city and surrender, this general will share the wealth with you, how about it?"

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Pang De yelled: "Treacherous villain, I can't wait to have your cramps skinned!"

Luo Zheng's face was ashen, and he shouted angrily: "I dare to bully me, how can I vent my hatred if I don't kill you!"

Yan Xing jumped on his horse with his spear straightened out, patted his horse out, and shouted: "Pound Pilgrim, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"

"Why don't you dare, wait a moment, so-and-so will come!"

Pang De also shouted loudly, then flung his cloak and hurried down the wall.

Not long after, a gunshot was heard, and Didao's north gate opened.

Pound led five hundred generals out like a whirlwind, and lined up in the lower city.

Yan Xingji bowed his hands to Luo Zheng and begged for his life, "My lord, please fight at the end!"

Luo Zheng's face was still a little ugly, and he waved his hand, "Quite."

"Order!"

Yan Xing was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised his gun and jumped on his horse, and rushed to kill Pang De.

With a loud roar, Pang De came to fight Yan Xing, clapping his horse and wielding his sword.

Previously, the two generals had fought against each other outside Yunwu City, and there was no winner.

Yan Xing had long wanted to fight Pang De again, and Pang De also wanted to compete with Yan Xing.

This meeting before the battle can be said to be the fulfillment of the wish of the two of them.

Amidst the thundering sound of war drums, the two horses crossed each other in an instant, and the second general fought hard without any fancy.

Amidst the cheers like landslides, Yan Xing and Pang De reined in their horses almost at the same time, and urged their horses to kill again.

Both of them are equal in martial arts, they fought hard for more than [-] bouts, and it was hard to tell the winner.

Jia Xu caressed his beard and praised: "I heard about Pang De's bravery earlier, and he is really a tiger general in the world!"

Wang Fang next to him couldn't help but snorted, and said: "Sir, why should you build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Although Pang De's martial arts skills are extraordinary, Yan Xing's boy is not bad either. There is no winner or loser."

Jia Xu smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.

Luo Zheng said regretfully: "It's a pity that such a brave general, who is both wise and brave, voted for Ma Teng by mistake. It's a pity! If you can get Pound to vote, this general would rather not have this Di Dao!"

Jia Xu said: "Pang De is loyal to Ma Teng, the general is afraid that he will be disappointed."

Xu Chuhu stared wide-eyed, and said loudly: "My lord, I will finally capture Pang De alive and offer it to my tent!"

Luo Zheng frowned and said: "When the two armies confront each other, brave generals will be able to boost the morale of the army, but it is only a small way. How can it determine the outcome of the battlefield, but a small way. Zhongkang, as the general's personal guard army, An Neng disciple Show off the bravery of a man?"

Jia Xu also nodded repeatedly and said: "What the general said is true, General Xu Chu is responsible for protecting the general's safety, how can he easily fight in front of others, but if something happens, who else will protect the general's safety."

"This……"

Xu Chu was speechless, so he could only retreat in embarrassment.

While speaking, Yan Xing and Pang De had already fought hard for nearly Lily, and the outcome was hard to tell.

The two breathed slightly anxiously, and both of their foreheads were sweating.

Luo Zheng took a look and said immediately: "Where are Li Meng and Wang Fang?"

"The end is here!"

The second general hurried forward and stood by.

Luo Zhengdao: "Go to the battle quickly and help Yan Xing fight with Pound."

"Order!"

The second general took the order with a bang, hurried his horse and killed him.

Without fear, Pang De rose up bravely and fought against the three generals Yan Xing, Li Meng and Wang Fang alone.

However, after only fighting for more than ten rounds, it felt overwhelming.

"shameless!"

With a loud roar, Pound tried his best to force Yan Xing away, and killed the two generals Li Meng and Wang Fang, and patted his horse and went to the front.

"Don't leave, let's stay alive!"

Yan Xing yelled sharply and hurriedly urged the horse to catch up.

The two generals Li Meng and Wang Fang also turned their horses and rode straight in pursuit.

Unexpectedly, within a hundred paces of chasing after him, random arrows were fired from the top of the city, and they shot down.

"Ow!"

Yan Xinglang howled, an iron spear danced like flying flowers, picked up dozens of arrows, and walked away.

Li Meng and Wang Fang were a few steps behind, easily dodged a few arrows that were fired farther away, and retreated calmly.

As for Pound, he led five hundred horses into the city, the city gate was quickly closed, and the suspension bridge was slowly raised.

In front of the army.

Luo Zheng looked cold and solemn, waved his hand heavily, and shouted: "Siege!"

"Order!"

Gao Shun complied, and rode away immediately.

Not long after, the shocking sound of war drums rose into the sky.

A team of 500 knife and ax soldiers rushed out, carrying sandbags and shields on their heads, and rushed to the city.The front row was replaced by a row of heavy armored infantry, covered in full body armor, holding a huge shield earlier than humans, protecting the front of the formation.

"Han army mighty!"

"War must be won!"

The captain of the commanding army roared, and the five hundred soldiers responded three times, the sound was like thunder, almost splitting the sky.

Unlike those Qiang and Hu soldiers, this infantry showed amazing discipline as soon as it came out.

Under the leadership of the commanding lieutenant and military academies at all levels, the five hundred infantry maintained a neat formation even during the charge, without any disorder, moving quickly down the city like an armored vehicle.

The resounding chant sounded uniformly, revealing an indomitable momentum and determination to win.

Didao city head.

Pound, who had just boarded the tower, stared intently, and said in a concentrated voice, "I don't think there are elite soldiers under the command of the horse butcher."

A small colonel next to him replied: "General, this is Gao Shun's army guarding Yuzhong, and it is also the most elite infantry under Luo Zhengpifu's command. It was reorganized with [-] Northern Army and thousands of Han Sui soldiers."

Pound's eyes were stunned, and he said fiercely: "What about the elites of the Northern Army? It's because Gao Shun has never met a real elite. Today, let Luo Zhengping see what a real elite is. Archers, get ready."

All the generals around them became energetic for a moment, and a thousand archers immediately drew their strong bows.

At this moment, two thousand knife and ax soldiers shouted chant and rushed within eighty steps.

"Fire arrows!"

Pound immediately stopped shouting, and the thousand archers who had been waiting for a long time loosened their fully drawn bowstrings, and a rain of arrows as dense as a locust shot down through the sky in an instant, pouring fiercely on the five hundred knives and axes. On the head of the soldiers.

"Raise your shield!"

Commanding Bing Xiaoxiao roared, and the five hundred swordsmen immediately raised their shields with one hand to protect their upper body.

peck peck...

The arrows were shot on the wooden shield, making a continuous sound.

Due to the dense formation, the arrows pouring down from the top of the city could only hit the upper body of the axe soldiers, while the hoplites in the front row were all protected by iron armor, and even held a giant shield taller than a person. The natural enemy of archers.

"charge!"

After the rain of arrows passed by, the captain of the Commanding Army immediately roared.

The five hundred pawns immediately removed their shields and galloped forward with sandbags on their shoulders.

"Damn!"

Pound's face turned livid early in anger, and he wasted thousands of arrows, only wounding less than ten enemy soldiers.

After three waves of arrow rain, five hundred swordsmen rushed to the city of Didao.

"Fill the river!"

The captain of the commander yelled again.

The second row of sword-axe soldiers jumped out immediately, throwing sandbags into the moat from the gap of the front row of heavy infantry.

"Stand back, third row!"

The captain of the commanding army shouted an order, and the second row of knife and ax soldiers immediately retreated to the back.

At the same time, the third row of knife and ax soldiers rushed forward carrying sandbags and threw them out.

"Fire the arrows and shoot these sons of bitches."

At the head of Didao City, Pang De yelled fiercely with a livid face.

A thousand archers kept firing bows and arrows, wasting arrows desperately.

Below the city, the five hundred ax soldiers quickly threw all the sandbags on their shoulders into the moat.

"withdraw!"

The captain of the commanding army roared, and the infantry phalanx immediately withdrew quickly.

Although more than a dozen soldiers were wounded by arrows with tricky angles, they were pulled away by the guards around them.

Except for nearly twenty soldiers who were injured, no one died on the spot.

On the tower, Pound's face was livid with anger, and his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to eat people.

Thousands of arrows were wasted, and less than 20 people were injured. Such a result is really unsatisfactory.

Luo Zheng's army is in the rear.

Gao Shun's face was stern and expressionless. When the first team of sword and ax soldiers retreated, he immediately waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "The second team goes forward and fills up the moat!"

"Order!"

The captain of the commanding army standing in front of the formation immediately responded loudly, and then raised his knife and howled, "Get out!"

The five hundred ax soldiers who had been ready for a long time immediately picked up the sandbags under their feet, rushed out of the formation, and rushed to the foot of Didao city.
