I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 42
Chapter 42 The Hard Battle in Huaili
at this time,

Outside Huaili City.

Ma Chao was sitting in the camp with a livid face.

last night,

Suddenly, many figures appeared in Huaili City and fell from the top of the city.
The soldiers under his command thought they were Gaoshun soldiers who were going to attack the camp at night, so they kept shooting arrows!

As a result, in the morning,
It's a bunch of grass people!
This time, Gao Shun gathered at least tens of thousands of arrows, so how could Ma Chao not be angry?
That arrow is his!
Now it's about to hit him!
And Ma Chao, who had experienced such a show early in the morning,

Also decisively sent troops.

Gao Shun's fire yesterday caused heavy losses to Ma Chaojun, not to mention a blow to morale.

Right now the morale of the whole army is low, and the soldiers are afraid of Gao Shun like a tiger. How can such soldiers have such morale?
In addition, last night's feigned night attack was actually a trick of arrows, which made morale even lower.

Ma Chao knew that morale could not continue to drop like this, otherwise he would have to withdraw directly from this battle.

So Ma Chao directly ordered to break through the Huaili army's Dasuo for three days to boost morale. At the same time, the more than 2 troops under his command were directly divided into ten echelons, each echelon of 2000 people, and continued to attack the city one after another!

As a result, morale really increased!

More than 2 Xiliang soldiers attacked the city one after another, screaming and trying to rush to the top of the city.

Ma Chao has already promised that the first to attack the top of the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and will be promoted to three levels!

Standing on the Huaili city wall,
Gao Shun couldn't help frowning as he watched the Xiliang soldiers attacking the city wave after wave like a tide.

There was only so much kerosene in the city, and all of it was used to intimidate Ma Chaojun in the first wave.

Now that there is no kerosene in the city, arrow clusters and stones can only be used to resist the Xiliang soldiers who attacked the city.

And this is the normal state of war now.

However, the Xiliang soldiers lacked large siege weapons such as trebuchets and siege engines, and only the blood and courage of the soldiers could be relied on.

Wave after wave, wave stronger than wave!
The soldiers from Xiliang attacked the city wall fiercely,

The defenders kept shooting arrows down, but they still couldn't stop the Xiliang soldiers from attacking the city.

Continuous high-intensity battles,

It has already made the defenders feel tired.

If it weren't for Ma Chao's order to withdraw the troops, how long the defenders of Huaili City can last is really a question.

The defenders here are not the camp under Gao Shun's command.

Although they have been trained by Gao Shun, they are just ordinary pawns, not as good as those elite soldiers.

In fact, Gao Shun was already very satisfied that they could last half a day under such a fierce attack.

But Gao Shun knew that he still had to persevere.

Because Lu Bu hasn't arrived yet, he has to persist until Lu Bu arrives in Huaili!
The morning siege caused hundreds of casualties to Gao Shun.

Xiliang soldiers charged too fast,

Even a few times almost climbed the city wall.

If the soldiers hadn't tried their best to stop him, it would be hard to say what the battle would be like.

Taking advantage of the rare time to rest, the people below also hurriedly delivered meals to the city wall.

But Ma Chao said that once Huaili was breached by the whole army for three days, the tiger and wolf division under Ma Chao's command could kill the entire Huaili until blood flowed into rivers!
Under such circumstances, it is logical for the people to take the initiative to support Gao Shun.

In Ma Chao's army,
Ma Chao looked at Pang De with a cold face: "Where is the candidate army?"

"Yesterday, after the candidate set up camp outside Wugong City, he didn't move. I guess he will attack the city today?" Pound said uncertainly.

"Siege? He wants to see me deflated!" Ma Chao sneered.

How could he not know what the candidates and Han Sui were thinking?
The two coalition forces say that Ma Chao is the main general, but can Ma Chao command the 3 people under his command?

And the candidate ran to martial arts as soon as he came up, and didn't give Ma Chao a chance at all.

Said to be the chief general, in fact, Ma Chao can only command the [-] troops of his own.

In fact, this war should have been a matter between Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

But Cao Cao was unable to deal with Lu Bu now, so he asked Ma Teng and Han Sui to fight for him and Lu Bu to delay Lu Bu's development.

Such a matter of helping others to fight without money and food, Han Sui, the Jiuqu Yellow River, is definitely not willing to contribute, and it would be good if he could do so.

But Ma Chao didn't think like Han Sui.

First of all, their Ma family has been a prince for many generations and received the salary of the Han court. In addition, Ma Teng has agreed to send troops, so Ma Chao naturally wants to do things well.

Moreover, if he can win this battle, his prestige will definitely increase, and if he loses, then his prestige will definitely be greatly damaged. It is not so easy to convince the Qiang people and Xiliang people in Xiliang like before. .

Han Sui also saw this and delayed the candidate.

To put it bluntly, I just want to watch Ma Chao lose.

Ma Chao's rise to fame in Xiliang is a disaster for him. It's fine if he doesn't send troops to help Lu Bu, but he also helps Ma Chao win prestige, what a dream!

took a sip of wine,
Suppressing the anger in my heart,

Ma Chao said: "Send a message to the candidate for me, let him be optimistic about martial arts, I don't care whether he plays martial arts or not. But if the defenders of martial arts city come to Huaili, I will go and destroy him first!"

Pound nodded again and again: "Major General, the candidate should not be so ignorant of the overall situation, right?"

Ma Chao sneered: "The candidate wishes for me to lose! So, I can't lose!"

"Let the soldiers prepare and continue to attack the city in the afternoon! Our army has enough soldiers, how many troops are there in Huaili? Our army continues to attack the city, and Huaili will be broken!"

"No." Pang De hurriedly went to order.

Ma Chao drank all the wine in one gulp, and threw the bottle heavily on the ground: "Hmph! Gao Shun, I will definitely chop off your head!"

The suffering of this battle was beyond Ma Chao's expectation.

There is no benefit in winning this battle, the benefits are all with Cao Cao, but if you lose, the blame is all on the general.

That's fine, but the people who attacked the city were still under his command, and the candidates were just watching a show!

Such an allied force is intriguing everywhere, which makes Ma Chao very angry!

It's not that Ma Chao doesn't know that Huaili City is a hard nut to crack,

He also knew that it was difficult to fight, but now he was riding a tiger, and he didn't know how many people behind him were waiting to see his jokes.

So he must win this stop!

in the afternoon,

With the desolate trumpet sound,

The Xiliang army attacked the city again!

The 4000 Xiliang soldiers were divided into five battalions, and one battalion of [-] people attacked the city one after another!
After one battalion fought hard, another battalion took over, and the five battalions had 2 people. Ma Chao directly pressed the whole army to break Huaili City!

And the Xiliang soldiers were also attacking the city wave after wave, and their morale was getting higher and higher. Each Xiliang soldier was red-eyed, screaming and climbing on the ladder to attack the city.

Standing on the city wall, Gao Shun calmly commanded his subordinates to defend,
Arrow clusters, trees, fell one after another, smashing down the Xiliang soldiers on the ladder.

Ma Chao watched the soldiers under his command continue to attack the city with a blank expression on his horse.
The morale of the defenders of Huaili City is constantly being worn down, and Xiliang soldiers have already attacked the city several times!

There was already a layer of blood on the top of the city, and the soldiers tried their best to drive the Xiliang soldiers down the city. Gao Shun couldn't help gritting his teeth when he saw the Xiliang soldiers who were constantly attached to the walls by ants:
"The whole army, fight to the death!"
