The royal court was attacked——
The entire Chinese army was immediately shocked.
After a long while, Mo Xie's eyes widened: "Send the order and return to the army immediately to recapture the royal court."
"General!"
As soon as Mo Xie finished speaking, a man who looked like a middle-aged scholar said hurriedly: "Zhuge Liang has blocked our army's return. If our army withdraws at this time, Zhuge Liang will definitely stop it with all his strength."
The middle-aged scholar's words immediately stunned Mo Xie.
What he said was not wrong.
If you want to return to the imperial court now, you must pass through Zhuge Liang's current station, and it is the only way.
What to do?
What to do?
Before that, Mo Xie could still hope to trap Ma Tianxiao to death. Once Liangzhou city was defeated, Zhuge Liang's 30,000 Han troops would no longer be considered a threat.
But things are different now.
Zhuge Liang blocked his way back, but Ma Tianxiao in Liangzhou City still couldn't hold on. If it was delayed for a long time, the Qiang and Hu army would be defeated in the end.
"General!" the middle-aged scholar said again: "Now we can only attack Liangzhou immediately, use Liangzhou as a base, and then repel Zhuge Liang's Han army. Then our army can march eastward and recapture the royal court."
p>
"Okay!" Moye nodded and said, "Now that the matter has come to this, we have no choice but to sink the boat."
"Iduo!"
"The end is here!" Yi Duo immediately stood up and accepted the order.
"I order you to immediately switch from riding to walking and assist San Luo in attacking Liangzhou with all his strength." Mo Xie said coldly: "I will only give you two three days. You must attack Liangzhou within three days. If you cannot do so within three days,
, you two don’t have to come to see me anymore.”
"No!"
Yiduo, Sanluo, responded immediately.
San Luo was the infantry general of this Qiang and Hu army, and was also the main force in the previous attack on Liangzhou. At this time, he was attacked from both sides, so Moye had no choice but to make a desperate move and attack Liangzhou by force first.
Sanluo had been attacking Liangzhou for more than ten days before, with nearly 10,000 infantry troops, and now there were nearly 7,000 troops left, but at this time, Yi Duo's 5,000 cavalry troops were added.
The tenth year of the founding of the Han Dynasty (AD 232), April 8.
"Siege the city!"
San Luo shouted loudly, and nearly 10,000 Qiang and Hu infantrymen immediately rushed towards the head of Liangzhou City like a tide.
After Ma Tianxiao rested for several days, Liangzhou city defense was once again replenished.
"Lord!"
A middle-aged general pointed at the Qiang and Hu soldiers and horses outside the city, and said anxiously: "The Qiang and Hu troops sent out today are several times that of before. I am afraid they want to attack the city pass."
"Yeah!" Ma Tianxiao naturally agreed.
For more than ten days in the past, although the Qiang and Hu attacked the city gates every day, the number of troops dispatched each time was only two to three thousand at most, and they were divided into several echelons to attack the city gates in turn.
But at this time, the darkness outside the city was filled with Qiang and Hu troops.
"Cheer up, everyone." Ma Tianxiao said calmly: "Prime Minister Zhuge's reinforcements are not far from here. If he learns that the Qiang and Hu are attacking the city, he will definitely lead troops to rescue."
Now Ma Tianxiao can only place his hope on Zhuge Liang, who is thirty miles south of the city.
A few days ago, he already knew that Zhuge Liang was coming.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang also sent letters to Liangzhou.
Zhuge Liang said in the letter that at this time the Qiang and Hu were besieging the city, and the Han army was mainly infantry fighting in the wilderness. The Han infantry would naturally be unable to stop the Qiang and Hu cavalry, but if the Qiang and Hu attacked the city, the Han army could cooperate with the Liangzhou army inside and outside.
Defeat the Qiang and Hu soldiers in one fell swoop.
So in the past few days, Ma Tianxiao was still expecting the Qiang and Hu to attack the city quickly.
Otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable to be surrounded like this all the time.
The Qiang and Hu siege has just begun.
Thirty miles south of the city.
Han army camp.
"Prime Minister!" Guo Wei, who joined the army, hurriedly came to the military tent: "Qiang and Hu are attacking the city."
Guo Wei seemed a little excited.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he just paused slightly, then looked at the map again, and then said: "Guan Xing!"
Guan Xing immediately stood up and waited for instructions.
"You can lead your troops and horses," Zhuge Liang said, "and return to the west of Liangzhou City. If you encounter Qiang and Hu cavalry, you will not be able to fight. You only have to fight and retreat."
"No!"
Guan Xing accepted the order and immediately exited the tent.
Then, Zhuge Liang said again: "Chen arrived!"
"You are leading three thousand elite troops to ambush in the dense forest west of the city. If you see Guan Xing retreating after being defeated," Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "you can send half of the Qiang and Hu cavalry over first and attack the rear."
Chen Dao also quit the big account when he was ordered.
"The rest of the generals," Zhuge Liang suddenly stood up and said, "all follow the original plan and attack the Qiang army outside Liangzhou City."
All generals are obeying orders.
Ten minutes at noon.
Outside Liangzhou City, war horses howled, and the shouts of killing were loud and clear.
More than 10,000 Qiang and Hu infantrymen, like a tide, have been attacking Liangzhou for half a day.
After half a day of resistance, the Liangzhou Army had lost nearly 2,000 soldiers.
While Ma Tianxiao was commanding the Liangzhou army to desperately resist the Qiang army, he was anxiously expecting Zhuge Liang's reinforcements to arrive in time. However, he waited for a long time and did not see a single Han army appear.
"Zhuge Liang!"
"Zhuge Liang!"
Ma Tianxiao roared secretly: "What are you waiting for?"
Ma Tianxiao is really anxious.
Because after half a day, the Qiang army's offensive was too fierce. Although the Liangzhou army had resisted tenaciously for half a day, the Qiang army had not yet reached the city, but the Liangzhou army also paid a heavy price.
If Zhuge Liang's reinforcements don't arrive in time, he may not be able to hold on for long.
Because at this moment, the Liangzhou garrison only has more than 10,000 people.
The Liangzhou army was anxious, and the Qiang army attacked more fiercely.
"Guy!" Mo Xie, who was supervising the battle in the central army, immediately ordered: "You also bring your own troops to reinforce Sanluo."
"No!"
Guy's army only has 3,000 people.
At this time, Mo Xie had already seen that although the Liangzhou Army resisted tenaciously, it was obvious that the Liangzhou Army was already in a slight decline and could be ready for a large-scale attack, or Liangzhou could be defeated in a single battle.
Guy's three thousand men immediately abandoned their horses and became infantry, joining the team attacking Liangzhou.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In an instant, the Qiang and Hu armies continued to attack Liangzhou City Pass. Although the Qiang and Hu were good at riding and shooting, after hundreds of years of development, they also knew that the Central Plains Dynasty was good at attacking cities.
It is also for this reason that in addition to maintaining the tradition of cavalry, they will also increase a certain number of infantry in recent years, and these infantry are mainly used to attack cities and plunder villages.
As the Qiang army increased its troops again, the Liangzhou defenders suddenly became impatient.
Because the cities in Liangzhou are not as tall as those in the Central Plains, and the city walls are all made of rammed earth. After a morning of fierce attack by the Qiang army, the city at this time was already riddled with holes.
Bang bang bang.
There was a burst of banging sounds, and the round stone balls fell on the Liangzhou city wall. Dust was flying immediately. The Liangzhou army standing on the top of the city could feel the tremor of the city wall.<
/p>
Although they have long been accustomed to it.
However, the Qiang army intensified their attack at this time, and the Liangzhou army on the top of the city did not dare to neglect. They continued to shoot arrows at the city, while other soldiers continued to throw rolling logs and rocks at the city.<
/p>
Just——
After a morning of fierce fighting, the rolling logs and stones prepared on the city wall were consumed too quickly.
And all these, in the past few days, Ma Tianxiao had some houses demolished, and he was able to prepare so many rolling logs and stones, but he did not expect that the Qiang army would attack so fiercely today.
"Lord!"
A small colonel asked anxiously: "When will the Han army come?"
Hearing the principal's questions, Ma Tianxiao also looked confused. Counting the time, if Zhuge Liang had come to help in time, they would have arrived long ago.
But they still haven't arrived.
Could it be——
Ma Tianxiao was a little nervous.
But just when he was anxious, he suddenly saw a commotion suddenly appearing behind the Qiang and Hu army formation.
