Chapter 224 Is the general not ashamed?
Ma Chao steadily suppressed Wen Pin and Shen Dan, but he was shocked to find that the soldiers under his command did not take much advantage.
It is difficult to climb the ice city, and the enemy's will to defend the city is firm. At first, only 30% of the soldiers could climb up. After Ma Chao joined the battle, the number of soldiers climbed up increased to 80%. Although Ke Wenpin Shen Dan could not defeat Ma Chao, the fighting will and combat literacy of the soldiers under his command were far above the Liangzhou Army. Ma Chao was unwilling to join his absolute main force before, and he was killed so hard that he could not raise his head.
These Jingzhou troops were very well trained by Shangyong Army. After the initial panic, they advanced and retreated like the wind, constantly killing the generals under Ma Chao, causing the deaths and injuries of Ma Chao's army to become increasingly serious.
"Something is good." Ma Chao murmured, his will was still firm, but the spear in his hand was a little slower after all.
People have their limits.
Ma Chao fought fiercely for a long time, and thought that the enemy would collapse instantly after occupating the city with his own courage, and this battle would turn into one-sided slaughter.
But unexpectedly, the defenders' will to resist was far beyond his imagination, and even the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command was far less than that of the opponent's elite soldiers.
The soldiers who fought to climb the city tower were stabbed to death in pieces and killed, and people kept falling from the city tower.
No matter how brave Ma Chao is, he cannot fight with thousands of people.
He had knocked down at least fifty people, and his arms were so sore that it was difficult to lift them up, but the fewer and fewer soldiers occupied by the city were occupied by him.
It was not until this moment that he finally realized something was wrong.
Since childhood, Ma Chao believed that his soldiers were invincible in the world, but because they were too small, they could not sweep the world.
But now he was surprised to find that there was an elite soldier in this world that was stronger than his soldiers and more fierce and fearless.
The soldiers of Liangzhou army continued to fall from the city, and the soldiers behind were obviously unable to move forward.
The disadvantages of coach Ma Chao's charge are exposed at this moment - the coach charge, who is in charge?
If the city cannot be seized, should we enforce military laws and kill the retreating person?
Ma Chao gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Dan, Wen Pin and the other two, who were covered in blood, and for the first time he had the idea of retreating.
"You Liangzhou Army is not very good!" Shen Dan laughed.
His gait was already very staggering. A Liangzhou soldier who was lying on the ground wanted to pretend to be dead. He suddenly launched an attack on Shen Dan while everyone was unprepared. However, Shen Dan was seriously injured and reacted in the blink of an eye. He fell down with a knife and immediately cut off the soldier's head.
He shouted loudly and kicked the man's head in front of Ma Chao. Ma Chao looked at the bloody head, and the expression on his face became more and more ferocious.
"Within ten moves, I'll kill you." Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, holding the iron spear in his hand tightly, preparing to give Shen Dan a fatal blow.
But at this moment, he heard a loud drumming sound in his ears.
It turned out that it was Kuai Yue who judged the situation. He had already seen that the Liangzhou soldiers had the idea of retreating. At this moment, he immediately waved the flag and asked his subordinates to beat the drums. The Yunshan Army's reserve team ambushed in the city came out together and launched a decisive charge against the Liangzhou army.
I saw a stream of soldiers coming out of the city quickly. Xiahou Ba's face looked bloody. He could not bear it for a long time and shouted loudly: "My sons, Ma Chao is right in front of him. Whoever kills this person will be granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu!"
Ma Chao snorted and waved the iron spear lightly with his wrist. Although the ice on the top of the city slightly blocked his flexible steps, Ma Chao exhaled a cool air conditioner and quickly spread death here. Although the new force led by Xiahou Ba was brave and fearless, his combat skills were no match for the Jin Ma Chao who had been through many battles. After only one confrontation, five more people were easily killed by Ma Chao and blood was flowing all over the ground.
The enemy will increase its troops, should we increase our troops?
Ma Chao looked at the city wall and hesitated for a moment.
If he raises his arms and calls, the Liangzhou soldiers behind him will continue to increase their troops to attack.
But as the head coach, he came here rashly, with enemies on all sides, so he naturally couldn't see the situation in front of him and did not dare to make arbitrary judgments.
Now the casualties of the Liangzhou army are getting bigger and bigger, and Ma Chao is confused for a moment, and actually makes Xiahou Ba bully him.
"An unfaithful and unfilial dog thief, take my Xiahou Ba's sword!"
Xiahou Ba's sword skills are quite sharp, but they are ridiculously slow in front of Ma Chao.
He snorted, his body turned slightly, his thick and strong arms shaking the iron spear, and he even came first and stabbed Xiahou Ba in front of him.
Xiahou Ba was shocked and his mind was blank for a moment.
Fortunately, Shen Dan and Wen Pin caught up with each other. The two of them finally drove Ma Chao's killing attack. Xiahou Ba also reacted. He raised the steel knife in his hand, but suddenly reacted. He took a step back immediately, picked up a big bow from the ground, and shot arrows in one go. Ma Chao quickly protected the door with his arm and drilled into his right arm with one arrow.
Ma Chao is arrogant and does not regard the enemy on the city wall as human beings at all.
When he charged, he only wore simple leather armor and his arms were not protected.
The arrow hurt his bone marrow, and Ma Chao couldn't help but scream.
Xiahou Ba laughed excitedly and shouted:
"I've won, I've won, I..."
Before he could shoot the second arrow, he saw Ma Chao hitting him. Xiahou Ba was unprepared and was knocked to the ground by Ma Chao.
The brave Ma Chao actually charged forward with the arrow, knocking Xiahou Ba over and punched Xiahou Ba hard on the face with his left hand. The attack made Xiahou Ba's eyes immediately turn black.
"Come here to protect me!" Ma Chao roared angrily, and wanted to kill Xiahou Ba directly, but Wenpin shouted General Xiahou, which made Ma Chao's heart tremble. He simply endured the severe pain and held a knife with his hand, pulled Xiahou Ba up with his left hand, and roared:
"Who dares to move forward? I will chop him first!"
"I don't care whether you will chop him!" Shen Dan knew Guan Ping's identity, so he naturally ignored Xia Houba's life. He had his eyes red and waved his sword to meet him, preparing to kill Ma Chao and Xia Houba together.
Ke Wenpin was experienced and was overjoyed when he saw Ma Chao taking the hostage. He quickly grabbed Shen Dan:
"Live!"
Ma Chao seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, took Xiahou Ba hostage and returned to the ladder, and called on his Liangzhou soldiers to retreat.
But when Yunshan Army let Ma Chao go, how could he let his soldiers leave? Wen Pin roared and endured the severe pain and let go of the killing. When Liangzhou Army who had climbed the city saw the commander leaving, they fled in despair and rushed to climb the cloud ladder. But the cloud ladder was so big that it could carry so many people. Shen Danman was so arrogant and grabbed a knife from the ground and slashed it randomly.
The Liangzhou army kept screaming and falling down on the tall Chang'an City. The Hu people who climbed the city were almost killed completely. A thick pile of corpses quickly accumulated under Chang'an City. Ma Chao was dizzy and almost fainted immediately.
Han Sui's messenger finally ran to Ma Chao's army. Seeing Ma Chao sitting there in a daze, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a trembling voice:
"General, retreat! The governor's attack on the city is not good. Please, please retreat first and then discuss!"
"Retreat..." Ma Chao murmured, "Retreat, where to retreat?"
In this battle, Ma Chao dispatched 3,000 people to attack the city, and nearly 2,000 people rushed to the city.
All the generals under his command surrounded him, but looking at Ma Chao with a confused look on his face, no one knew how to comfort him.
In today's battle, Ma Chao himself took the battle himself. The Liangzhou army tried its best to obtain significant damage to the enemy. Compared with Ma Wan before, Chengyi, who was defeated in an instant after entering the city, I don't know where Gao Ming was.
If you work hard to conquer the city later, you will definitely gain a lot.
But Ma Chao, a witness of the war, did not think so in his heart.
In today's battle, he deeply realized that the enemy's strength was far beyond his imagination.
The generals under Yunshan were tenacious and extremely brave, and their combat capabilities and combat will exceeded the level of the elite soldiers in Liangzhou.
If you want to defeat them, you will not be able to fill in the lives of humans, but you will continue to fill in the lives of humans. What can you do if you take Chang'an?
Cao Cao must have led his army now on the way. If Han Sui and Ma Chao fill all their troops here, can they block the attack of Cao's main force?
No, there is no need for the main force of Cao's army to come.
Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were unwilling to fight before, because he was simply worried that he would be besieged from all sides after being surrounded, but now they are free and have a chance to fight back, and then...
Ma Chao pondered for a moment and said slowly in a tired and weak voice:
"Teach the horse, I'll go and meet Governor Han."
·
On the other hand, after confirming that Ma Chao had retreated, Han Sui finally issued an order to withdraw his troops.
Yan Xing fought and retreated, and gave the entire army a backer. Guan Ping, who had been hiding from him before, finally walked over slowly.
"Yanming, don't leave, let's gesture again!"
Guan Ping's tone was very casual. He played with the steel knife in his hand, as if he was chatting with Yan Xing.
If there was no stinking blood and continuous screams and begging around, it would probably be a very warm reunion scene for old friends.
Yan Xing was so cold that he stared at Yunshan tightly without saying a word, and he felt quite nervous for a moment.
retreat.
Retreat from the towering city.
This was originally a very difficult thing. Yunshan was raising his energy and taking action at this moment, obviously he had thought of this matter a long time ago.
He did not let Yan Xing walk, not just ridicule, but really wanted to keep Yan Xing.
"Han Sui and Ma Chao are not wise rulers. They have been killing too much since many years ago. How many people in Guanzhong died at their hands?
In order to win the hearts of the people in Guanzhong over the years, they have done some work. With Yanming's wisdom, they should know that if they win the world, they should be resurrected."
Yan Xing yelled, held the spear in his hand tightly, and said in a cold voice:
"I heard that General Yun is very skilled in martial arts. I thought I would fight hard with me. I saw the real sign like a man. I didn't expect that General Yun has been hiding behind his brothers. When it was time to do this, he could only use his lip service?
My heart is true to the court, but General Yun used Governor Han to slaughter the people and said, "Hey, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
Prime Minister Cao has been slaughtering good people over the years and selling women like animals. How different is this from us?
Isn’t it shameful for General Yun to say such words?"
Although Yan Xing did not think that Cao Cao's behavior of slaughtering the people was inappropriate, Yunshan actually used this to stumble on his side, so of course he was unwilling to admit defeat.
He listened quietly, waiting for Yunshan's explanation, but Yunshan in front of him just smiled and said calmly:
“Of course I’m not ashamed.
I have only worked for Prime Minister Cao for a year. I have been working for Envoy Liu before, and in the future I will go with Envoy Liu to kill the enemy to restore the Han Dynasty.
I am only angry and not ashamed of what Cao Cao did.”
"Is General Yanming satisfied with this explanation?"
