Chapter six hundred and seventy-ninth capture

"Father, I'm back!" Ma Jin's blood stained the hem of Ma Han's long gown red.

Looking at the extremely familiar city in front of me, a drop of hot tears dripped from the corner of Ma Han's eyes.

Dian Zhang and other Ma family generals were moved, and they were also excited.

After losing Qinzhou and Yongzhou over the years, their deep guilt has always made them unable to sleep or eat.

Now, their hearts are finally at peace.

Ma Jin's body was hung at the east gate of Xiancheng for public display.

Ma Han and the generals returned to his mansion that once belonged to him.

Taking a deep breath, he gradually calmed down from the pleasure of revenge.

Things did not change. Even if he took back Xiancheng, the city was no longer the private property of his Ma family, but belonged to the court.

His goal is no longer to expand the power of the Ma family and to take Qinzhou and Yongzhou for himself.

Instead, he carried out the orders of the King of Yan, stirred up the northwest of Dasong, cooperated with the royal family's personal army to cause trouble for the coalition forces in the attack on Yan, and disrupted their cooperation.

Therefore, he cannot stop here, and he must continue to implement the plan next.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How many Beidi cavalry have been captured in this ambush."

Ma Lan said: "Sir, after counting, more than 33,000 Beidi cavalry were injured and killed, and the remaining Beidi cavalry all fled."

Ma Han nodded, and he said to Dian Zhang: "The remaining Beidi cavalry is not afraid. I will give you 20,000 troops to attack Yongcheng. The remaining troops follow me, travel day and night to capture Xiaoguan."

"Yes, Lord Master." Dian Zhang nodded.

After deciding on this matter, Ma Han ordered the soldiers to rest for a day.

The next day, he left three thousand soldiers in Xiancheng to guard the city and led more than 75,000 people to Xiaoguan.

Dian Zhang led 20,000 troops and headed north.

In order to guard against the Ma family army in Sizhou, Beidi concentrated its main forces in the two cities, Rangcheng and Xiancheng.

There were only hundreds or thousands of other cities in Qinzhou guarding them to maintain public order in the city.

Ma Han did not take down these cities one by one, but took down the cities he encountered on the way to Xiaoguan.

After all, the soldiers are very fast at the moment, and they have to take advantage of the failure of Beidi and Nanliang to take advantage of the opportunity to seize Xiaoguan.

After four days of rapid march, he arrived at the city of Xiaoguan.

"It's bad." Looking at the Ma family soldiers who suddenly appeared under the city, Xiao Guan Beidi's guard looked extremely embarrassed.

Because Mahan advanced too fast, he broke through Rangcheng and then went to Xiancheng, and finally arrived at Xiaoguan less than ten days.

Moreover, the Beidi cavalry who fled from Xiancheng brought him the news of the loss of Xiancheng only two days ago.

The scouts he sent to Wuwei were afraid they had just arrived.

The most serious thing is that since Qinzhou and Yongzhou are currently all under the territory of Northern Di.

To Beidi, Xiaoguan was just a Neiguan. They did not station heavy troops in Xiaoguan at all. They only had 15,000 garrisons on weekdays.

Even with some of the Beidi cavalry who were about to escape from Xiancheng, there were only more than 30,000 people.

"Siege."

Compared with the panic of the Northern Di generals, Ma Han was full of confidence.

As he fought along the way, he was full of confidence in his soldiers.

After losing Qinzhou and Yongzhou, the morale of the Ma family was once very low.

Now, since leaving Qin Pass to take down Rang City, the morale of the Ma family soldiers is getting higher and higher, and they all seem to have endless energy.

So, he gave the soldier a short rest for half an hour, and he issued an order.

Before entering Qinzhou, the Fourth Court provided them with the troops arrangements of Qinzhou and Yongzhou.

Therefore, he knew very well that there were not many Beidi soldiers in Xiaoguan.

This is also why he dared to divide his troops into two groups, taking Yongzhou and Xiaoguan along the way.

"Boom boom boom..."

Under his command, the mortar and field guns launched shelling on the city walls.

At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to aim at the Beidi soldiers on the city wall, and they would attack as long as the Beidi soldiers emerged.

The solid bullets of the field gun hit the wall, and the huge power shattered the wall impact.

The flowering bullets of the mortars bloomed on the city walls with fire balls.

The lime bomb even enveloped the city walls in white dust.

Under the fierce shelling, the Beidi artillery was suppressed by fierce firepower, and was in chaos, with a large number of casualties.

Only a small number of Beidi artillery were still shooting scattered soldiers under the city wall.

But their artillery often can only fire one shell in a minute.

Such artillery attacks basically cannot hinder the advance of straitors.

The stragglers ran along irregular curves.

Each of them had grenades hanging around their waists.

Thousands of paratroopers were about one meter apart and advanced in an interlaced manner.

When they came to the city wall, they threw the grenades on it.

Although the power of mortars and field guns is powerful, due to their small number, they are not as good as that of dense grenades.

"Boom boom boom..." An explosion, almost every position on the front wall was covered with flames.

In the first round of throwing, the sound of cannons on the city wall stopped.

Some remaining Beidi archers looked fierce, and they leaned over to look down at the city.

Seeing that the Ma family soldiers under the city were about to throw stick-like things at them again, they bent their bows and pulled arrows and shot at the soldiers who threw grenades.

However, the moment they leaned forward, the soldiers who had been staring at the city wall pulled the trigger and shot them.

Beidi archers were shot and killed one after another.

But a small number of archers shot out the bows and arrows, and the soldiers who threw the grenades suffered casualties.

Seeing this, Mahan immediately sent soldiers to drag the injured soldiers back and ordered the reserve team to fill the position of the injured soldiers.

"Boom boom boom..." The explosion sounded again, followed by the third, fourth, fifth, sixth...

Ma Han squinted his eyes and looked at the Xiaoguan City Wall. Compared with Ma Jin's soldiers, Beidi's soldiers' resistance was indeed more fierce.

But their ferocity makes no sense.

At most, you need to throw a few more rounds of grenades.

For him, the gap in firearms could no longer be made up with the soldiers' personal courage.

The city wall was bombarded for half an hour, until no Beidi soldiers rushed up the city wall and immediately issued an order to attack the city.

At this time, the cloud ladder, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed towards the city wall with the cloud ladder.

The Ma family soldiers followed behind the Yun Ladder.

The moment the cloud ladder leaned against the city wall, they used their hands and feet to quickly climb the city wall.

At this moment, the city walls were covered with the bodies of Beidi soldiers, and they had no place to stay.

He could only rush to the steps on the bodies of the Beidi people, preparing to seize the city gate.

The moment they ascended the city wall, a sound of breaking through the air came.

Beidi soldiers hiding under the city wall fired bows and arrows at them, and immediately the soldiers were injured and fell to the ground.

"It's a bitch." The injured soldier cursed, untied the grenade on his waist, pulled the fuse away and threw it down the Beidi soldiers near the city wall.

The explosion sounded, and the screams of Beidi soldiers suddenly came.

Other soldiers also threw grenades at Beidi soldiers, and exploded in an instant.

As more soldiers climbed the city walls, more explosions rang out.

At the same time, dense gunfire sounded, and the soldiers of Beidi who were fighting stubbornly fell in pools of blood.

Under the cover of other soldiers, a captain led five hundred soldiers under his command to kill towards the city gate.

More than 30 Beidi soldiers hid in the door hole to resist, but were immediately dealt with by the grenades thrown over.
