Chapter 155: Han Wen is about to return to Jincheng!
………
In the golden city, thousands of arrows were fired.
Scarlet blood stained every wall of the Golden City. Every brick on the wall was dripping with hot blood. Countless corpses with broken arms could be seen everywhere.
"Puff puff puff~"
There was another wave of arrows, overwhelming the Ma family's elite cavalry who were not good at attacking the city, like targets, killing them one by one. After waves of shocking wails, it gradually calmed down.
Cheng Gongying's thin figure stood tall on the top of the city. He closed his eyes slightly while looking at the scene in front of him that looked like a sea of Shura blood. He seemed to be unable to bear it, but when the next wave of offensive came, he still ordered with a cold face.
Lower the arrow and pour boiling oil.
He knew very well in his heart that once the Ma family captured Jincheng, there would no longer be a living thing in the entire Jincheng, especially the people involved with Han Sui, who would definitely be torn into pieces by Ma Chao himself.
Therefore, when the border scouts discovered the traces of the Ma family's army and horses, Cheng Gongying, as the general manager who stayed behind, immediately ordered someone to send an urgent report to Han Sui, and then completely gave up the guards in all places outside Jincheng and sent all the troops to Han Sui.
All the soldiers and horses shrank back into the golden city, and carried out the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the field.
Because Cheng Gongying knew very well that the strongest troops and horses in Liangzhou were always cavalry battles, while the weakest ones were definitely siege battles. If you want to rely on the few thousand soldiers and horses in the city now to fight against the Ma family's army, go out of the city
The battle was definitely a desperate attempt. Only by defending the city could there be any possibility of holding on until Han Sui could return to his army.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Ma Chao was anxious. He fought almost day and night for seven days and seven nights, and even took risks several times, but the actual results were minimal. The opponent made up his mind to use defensive weapons.
The city battle was used to deal with the Ma family's elite cavalry who were not good at attacking the city. With arrows, boiling oil, and falling wood, Cheng Gongying could be said to have used all the ways to defend the city, firmly blocking the Ma family army on the crumbling city wall.
outside.
Ma Chao even used the Ma family's unparalleled battle formation several times with the cooperation of Ma Jin. However, Cheng Gongying, who had already seen the power of the Ma family's cavalry battle formation, was able to detect the changes in advance every time.
Due to the distance difference, he perfectly dodged the giant arrows from the battle formation. Although it caused great damage to the walls of Jincheng, it was finally able to withstand it.
"Major General, the damage to the men is too great. If we continue to fight like this, even if we have twice as many people, we won't be enough!" In the formation, Pang De looked at Ma Chao with a wry smile.
"Hmph!" Ma Chao didn't know this truth. He originally thought that Han Sui was out with his troops and Jincheng was empty. He and the Ma family's fine cavalry would be able to defeat him in one battle. Although he couldn't kill Han Sui for the time being, he could still kill him first.
The whole family wanted to let him taste the pain of losing a loved one, but he never imagined that the thirty thousand Ma family
The cavalry attacked fiercely for seven days and seven nights, but were stunned to be defended by Cheng Gongying with six to seven thousand soldiers and horses and thousands of family soldiers from the wealthy families in the city. Seeing that the time for Han Sui to return to the army was getting closer, Ma Chao felt depressed in his heart.
It was getting heavier and heavier. When he heard Pang De's words, he snorted and frowned and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
"Retreat for the time being!" Pang De, who was very aware of Ma Chao's mentality at this time, was not angry at Ma Chao's words. He smiled bitterly, clasped his fists and said, "Major General, according to the news sent by Ying Zige, Han Sui should be here now.
On the way back to the army, we will be here soon.
But according to the current situation, even if we attack by force regardless of casualties, it will take at least a day and a night to capture Jincheng. But at that time, what can we do to fight against the army of old thieves who have returned?
Major General, don’t forget, our enemy is always the old thief Han Sui! Now that Ying Zige has overcome the difficulties, according to his character and ability, we will inevitably fight back next. As long as we retreat first and preserve our strength, we can wait until we are contacted
After winning Zi Ge, sooner or later you will be able to avenge yourself, young general, if you are impatient, you will mess up your big plan!"
Looking at Ma Chao's increasingly ferocious look, Pang De tried his best to persuade him.
"retreat!"
For a long time, Ma Chao looked at the commanding figure on top of the city tower with a ruthless look in his eyes. He knew in his heart that what Pang De said was right. His biggest enemy was always Han Sui. If he suffered heavy losses here, then he would
Having no capital for revenge, he immediately forced out two words through his teeth, then grabbed the tiger-headed Zhan golden gun beside him and rode towards the camp.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Looking at Ma Chao's leaving figure, Pang De sighed deeply. He never expected that the originally foolproof raid would end in vain due to Cheng Gongying's defense. Fortunately, Ma Chao finally listened to his persuasion.
.Immediately raised his head and took a sharp look at the figure on the city gate, and reluctantly gave the order to retreat.
After all, during these seven days and seven nights of siege battles, the 30,000 cavalrymen on our side who were not good at siegeing the city seemed to be waiting in line to die. With repeated defeats, morale continued to decrease, and some soldiers were already resisting.
In an offensive mood, if we continue to fight, no matter whether we can capture Jincheng or not, the 30,000 cavalry under our command will definitely be useless.
"Here!" The lieutenant general who had been listening to the conversation between the two men agreed excitedly and began to withdraw his troops.
Just at this moment, billowing dust suddenly rolled up on the official road in the distance, and a group of about ten thousand elite cavalry gradually appeared in Pang De's eyes, and they were close in a moment.
A gap opened in the middle of the army, and Han Sui, whose face was as heavy as water, stepped out. He first raised his head and glanced at the Jincheng, which was shaky but not broken. He breathed a secret sigh of relief in his heart, and turned to look at the side.
Yan Xing.
"Where is Ma Chao, how dare you speak out!" Yan Xing nodded, rode forward, and shouted loudly to the assembled Ma family camp. His voice was loud and powerful, and his voice spread far away.
Ma Shenzhen, who had already rode back to camp, also heard it.
"Han Sui, old thief!" Anger filled Ma Chao's heart, and his eyes turned blood red. He knew the voice of Yan Xing, the first person who could withstand a hundred moves under his hands and finally escaped with a deceitful move, etched in his heart.
Naturally, he knew who Yan Xing was going out with. He immediately straightened up his tiger-headed golden gun and galloped toward the front of the camp, roaring from a distance like thunder.
"You're such a brave little thief, how dare you insult my lord like this!?" Yan Xing's heart trembled as he looked at Ma Chao, whose eyes were blood red and flying towards him on horseback. However, his expression remained unyielding and he asked angrily.
"Hmph, my general is defeated. How dare you bark here? Old thief Han Sui, get out of here!" Ma Chao, who had already been burned out by his anger, calmed down after seeing Han Sui's figure, showing disdain.
After taking a long look at Yan Xing, a pair of bloody eyes stared at Han Sui opposite him.
