The flying arrows are like lightning, and they arrive in an instant!

Three wolf teeth long arrows flew towards Ma Chao quickly with a shrill whistling sound. The arrow body kept spinning, and the strange cold air flow condensed at the arrow.

Li Tongyu's arrow is so fast that it is far beyond the naked eye to see clearly, even Ma Chao.

Unexpectedly, Li Tong didn't reply, and just greeted him with arrows. However, after the huge sense of danger came, Ma Chao's body naturally made dodge and blocking actions based on his sensory intuition.

"Dingding..." Two feather arrows shot towards the left and right chests were swept down by the Tianlang rifle. At the same time, Ma Chao leaned back quickly and dodged another arrow shot towards his neck at a critical moment.

Sitting up straight, Ma Chao looked straight at Li Tong with a sharp eyes like a falcon, expressionless, but his heart couldn't help but beating faster and more quickly———Two hundred steps should have exceeded the killing distance of ordinary bows and arrows. However, after Li Tong's three wolf teeth shot out at the same time, after flying for 200 steps, not only was the strength still strong, but the speed and sharp angle also made Ma Chao very shocked.

On the city tower, after Li Tong established his power, he did not continue to attack. He threw the strong bow to his personal soldiers beside him, and shouted coldly: "The dogs who are strayed dare to bark!"

Li Tong's voice didn't sound loud at first, but he was full of energy and it was heard one or two miles away. Not only Ma Chao himself, but even nearly half of his soldiers could hear these eight words clearly.

.

Li Tong's cold and indifferent scolding seemed particularly ironic against Ma Chao's somewhat embarrassed dodging action.

A trace of hostility flashed through Ma Chao's face———— The tiger fell into the flat sun and was bullied by a dog! He suffered consecutive setbacks by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, which has led to the arrogant and conceited Ma Chao as the greatest shame in his life. Now even a mere Li Tong dares to "title" and insult him!

The veins of the right hand holding the Tianlang Gun suddenly appeared, and the palm rubbed against the gun bar made a "crunching" sound. If Li Tong was right in front of him at this moment, Ma Chao would definitely not have let him have less than 20 or thirty gun holes on his body.

It’s a pity that the other party didn’t even have the intention to leave the city!

.

The experienced Li Tong easily saw through Ma Chao's aggressive method and in turn gave one another a reverent response.

After glaring at Li Tong, Ma Chao pushed Ma Chi back to the military formation. Although Li Tong saw Ma Chao's hatred look clearly, his expression on his face remained unchanged and he walked calmly towards the inside of the city tower.

Ma Dai, Ma Xiu and others saw that Ma Chao's face was extremely gloomy, and they dared not say anything, but just stared at him quietly.

"Prepare to attack the city!" Ma Chao inserted the Tianlang spear violently into the soil beside him. He shouted hatefully.

"Brother, do you really want to attack the city?" Ma Dai mustered up his courage and asked with a little hesitation. The Ma family army had been entrenched in Shangyong for more than a year. How easy it is to defend and difficult to attack Shangyong City, Ma Dai naturally knew very well.

Moreover, in order to prevent Cao Cao and Zhang Lu's invasion, Ma Chao also specially strengthened Shangyong City fortifications, but he did not expect that today it would be used to deal with him.

Under normal circumstances, with Shangyong's dangerous terrain and solid dungeon defense, the defenders can completely withstand more than 5 times the siege.

Judging from the information provided by Ma Tie, Li Tong's defenders could not be less than 4,000, but Ma Chao's side could not have raised 20,000 people.

The total number of Ma Chao's remnants of the Iron Cavalry, plus Ma Xiu and Ma Liao, was only about 13,000.

Moreover, after the long and urgent marches, the soldiers were exhausted. In addition, they lacked siege equipment, so they started a siege in a hasty way of joking about the lives of the soldiers.

"Shangyong is the last foundation of our army. Without Shangyong, what is the difference between us and a stray dog?" Ma Chao's eyes flashed with pain and said in a deep voice. It was obvious that Li Tong's dialect left a shadow on Ma Chao's heart.

"Brother, we can also retreat south..." Ma Xiu didn't quite agree with Ma Chao's order to attack the city and persuaded him.

"Looking south?" Ma Chao smiled bitterly, "Showing Xiangyang is gone. Without the seal and Liu Cong of the governor of Jingzhou, there is no place in Jingbei except Shangyong, our army can go to.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Kuai Yue, and Zhao Yun who is lingering like a wolf will not let us go south."

After a pause, Ma Chao shook his head helplessly and said, "Besides, if you can't stand it after going south, these more than 10,000 people will have to wait to die..."

"Brother. After going south, if it really doesn't work, we can still return from Zi to Shu. Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, is a foolish and incompetent person. We can temporarily join him and then look for an opportunity to seize Yizhou.

Yizhou has always been rich, not much worse than Jingzhou!" Ma Dai remembered that Fa Zheng had introduced the situation in Yizhou and persuaded Ma Chao urgently.

"Entering Sichuan?" Ma Chao's eyes lit up at first, but then he shook his head, "Liu Zhang and Liu Bei, Liu Qi are of the same clan, so they must be in favor of Liu Bei and the others. It is impossible for me to be taken in at all.

Moreover, the road to Shu is difficult. If you really want to enter Shu, you have to throw away the war horses..." It was like asking Ma Chao to give up his cavalry.

"No need to say more, prepare to attack the city!" Ma Chao waved his hand, waved Ma Dai and others to continue persuasion, and said resolutely, "Split 2,000 people to prepare to hit the wood and the ladder, and the rest of them rest on the spot. Start siege in two hours!"

"...Yes!" Ma Dai, Ma Xiu and others looked at each other, and took the order helplessly.

Ma Chao looked up at the sky, his face showed an unprecedented look of confusion, and sighed sadly.

…………………………………………….

It was almost dusk, the sunset slowly set, and the sky was covered with blood-red color.

The drum sounded rapidly, and the hammer point was accurate and powerful.

Under Ma Chao's urging, 2,000 infantry attacked Shangyong City with simple siege equipment.

It took two hours to prepare the siege equipment for 2,000 soldiers barely created more than ten striking woods, seventeen or eight ladders, and Ma Chao couldn't wait to send an order to siege the city.

The pursuers in the rear would catch up at any time. Once they were caught up, Ma Chao's army would fall into a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

On the city and under the city, arrows came and roared and left. From time to time, soldiers on both sides of the offensive and defensive shouted tragic roars after being caught.

After nearly 200 casualties, the remaining siege soldiers successfully rushed to Shangyong City.

Immediately, two hitting wood began to strike violently at the city gate, and eighteen cloud ladders were also put on the city wall. Soldiers holding shields quickly climbed up along the cloud ladder.

"Quick, hurry! Climb up!"

"Terrently, forcefully, break open the city gate!" Ma Liao personally came to the front line to command the siege and waved the shield in his hand to block the siege. He couldn't help but shout and roar.

.

"Ring stones and rolling wood, throw them all over!"

"Archer, don't stare at the one below the city, shoot behind!"

"Fill the boiling oil!"

"Stop the pole, knocking off the ladder!"

Li Tong walked back and forth on the city tower, his face calm and calm, and shouted loudly as the soldiers guarding the city resisted the enemy's attack. Li Tong experienced numerous battles and had experienced countless battles in the city defense. In front of him, Ma Chao's military siege in the city was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

The main general was calm and quickly promoted the confidence of the soldiers guarding the city. Under the command of Li Tongdi, they blocked the arrows flying from the city in an orderly manner, and returned feather arrows, rocks, rolling wood and other things to their opponents.

Dozens of soldiers guarding the city, in groups of two. Holding a special resisting pole, with the power of rushing forward, overturned the ladders and the ladders. Hundreds of soldiers who were climbing the city fell down immediately, like dumplings.

People hit people, people smash people, and some even fall directly on their companions' weapons and are stabbed to death or injured.

"Hu~Hu~!" The buttered rolling wood was thrown down from the city with the sound of the wind. The siege soldiers who could not dodge at the city were smashed to cry and cry, and blood marks were stamped at the foot of the city.

However, the most terrifying thing is the boiling oil that is burnt away. The extremely high temperature oil is poured on the head, and as long as it is stained with a little bit, all of which are crumbly and flesh is rotten, and the hot pain makes people feel like they die quickly.

Some soldiers were poured with boiling oil on their faces, and immediately covered their faces with their hands and fell to the ground. After turning them over for a moment, they died amid the miserable shouts.

Countless burning torches and firewood were thrown down, stained with oil on the ground and the butter-stained wood, which soon turned the city into a sea of ​​fire.

Some siege soldiers saw the opportunity quickly and rolled and crawled away. But many people were wrapped in a sea of ​​fire. The screams were endless. A few soldiers on fire all over the body struggled to escape.

But halfway through the run, he fell to the ground and let the flame wrap his body. Some of them were not seriously injured. He took off his oil-stained armor and rolled to the ground to extinguish the flames. While dodging the ripples on the city, he retreated back.

Ma Liao was agile. When he saw that the situation was wrong, he avoided the enemy's fire attack early. Looking at the foot of the city wall that became a sea of ​​fire, Ma Liao knew clearly that this round of siege had completely failed.

In half an hour, all eighteen cloud ladders were destroyed, three of them were burned to pieces, and nearly a thousand soldiers were lost. In desperation, Ma Liao could only lead the remaining troops to retreat to the formation with dust.

.

The Ma family army has always been famous for cavalry warfare, and infantry warfare, especially siege warfare, were not what they were good at. In front of Li Tong, who was proficient in various city defense skills, Ma Chao was simply showing off his skills.

Seeing that Ma Liao began to lead his troops to retreat, Li Tong wanted to pass through his own strong bow from his personal soldiers, quickly pulled up three wolf-toothed feather arrows, and exerted force with both arms, and the bow turned into a full moon.

The noise around the surroundings, the crisp vibrating sound of the bowstring sounded indifferently. Three wolf-toothed arrows flew out one after another for a few seconds, forming a straight line and flew towards Ma Liao in the retreating direction.

When Ma Liao noticed this huge danger, the wolf-tooth arrow was less than ten steps away. In desperation, Ma Liao hurriedly raised his shield to block it.

The first arrow hit the shield, and it bounced away after making a muffled sound. The second arrow came immediately, and the direction of the hit was exactly the same as the first arrow. The solid shield once again rejected the wolf teeth.

But immediately, the third, the most powerful wolf-tooth arrow, still hit the same part of the shield.

The shield, which had been hit twice, could no longer withstand this powerful impact force, was penetrated into a small hole, and the feather arrow flew into Ma Liao's neck directly.

Unexpectedly, Ma Liao said "Aiya" and his shield fell to the ground. He slowly raised his right hand and held the arrow shaft. He looked in astonishment in the direction where the arrow flew in shock, but soon, his eyes became dissipated and his body fell to the ground.

Ma Liao's death further increased the fear of the retreating soldiers. I don't know who started, and more than a thousand people ran wildly like crazy.

Li Tong was not very happy to kill an enemy general, as if it was just a normal thing. He slowly raised his hand, Li Tong stopped the defenders' continued attack and watched Ma Chao in the distance.

.

Ma Chao never thought that the battle to defend the city could be commanded to such a state. In Li Tong's hands, the battle to defend the city was simply an art.

This round of attack alone made Ma Chao clearly realize that it was impossible to defeat Shangyong from Li Tong.

After picking up the siege soldiers who were retreating in a hurry, Ma Dai returned to Ma Chao and said in a low voice: "Half of the people were lost, and only a few siege equipment were left to make. Zhongquan (Ma Liao) also..."

Ma Chao's face turned pale, his finger bones clattered, and he stared silently at Shangyong City reflected by the firelight.

"Brother, retreat south!" Ma Dai persuaded sadly, "I can't conquer Shangyong in a while, and it's too late. The pursuers behind may arrive at any time, and it will be too late if they don't retreat!"

Before Ma Chao could make any statement, a cavalry scout rushed over and brought bad news - a large number of pursuers had reached less than 30 miles east of Shangyong, and could reach Shangyong within two hours at most.

This news completely dispelled Ma Chao's idea of ​​attacking Shangyong.

.

"Hahaha..." Ma Chao suddenly laughed wildly, and the empty laughter like a wolf howling echoed in the sky

"Brother, big brother..." Ma Dai, Ma Xiu and others looked at Ma Chao for no reason, with some confusion, worry and anxious in their words.

"Retreat, retreat south..." Ma Chao restrained his laughter and said in a desolate manner.

For a moment, Ma Chao wanted to lead the remaining troops to fight to the death with the pursuers, and simply die in battle. But the deep hatred between Ma Teng and the more than 100 members of the Ma family forced Ma Chao to choose to retreat in a "shameful" manner.

.

Two hours later, Guan Yu personally led a large army to Shangyong.

After learning from Li Tong that Ma Chao had led his army to retreat south, Guan Yu rested in Shangyong for a night and led his army south to pursue Ma Chao in the early morning.

……………………………………….

On March 24, the eighth year of Jian'an, my second brother and I met Yu Changwei.

At this time, Kuai Yue's army was divided into two. Kuai Yue himself led 5,000 infantry soldiers to Xiangyang, and officially took over the power of Jingbei as the governor of Jingzhou. On the other hand, Liu Pan and Wenpin led the rest of the troops to Linju.
