Chapter 470 The Final Battle of Chang'an
With Ma Teng's order, more soldiers and horses pressed against the east and west walls of Chang'an City. Ma Teng's army originally had 150,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Chang'an City, but now it has sent 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack the north and south walls, and then sent Ma Chao with 30,000 cavalry to patrol around Chang'an City. Now Ma Teng is going to smash all the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses on the east and west walls of Chang'an City. Lower Chang'an City.
"Lord Changshi, as you expected, Ma Teng's goal is indeed the east and west walls." Seeing Ma Tengjun's movements, Cheng Lian, who was beside him, hurriedly said to Xun Yu.
"Go on the order and let the newly recruited 10,000 soldiers go up to the east and west walls." Now that Ma Teng has unreservedly put all his troops on the battlefield, Xun Yu will not be stingy and quickly preached.
"Lord Changshi, the sword has no eyes. You'd better go back to the house first and wait for the news." Under his eyes, he had put all his combat strength into the battlefield. As a wise man, Xun Yu could play much less role. Cheng Lian was also worried that he would not be able to take care of Xun Yu in a moment, so he hurriedly said to Xun Yu.
"I can't help here at the time. I'll leave it to you here." Naturally, Xun Yu was very clear about what Cheng Lian meant. He nodded to Cheng Lian and said, "Once you can't hold on and the city wall is broken, you can set fire to the tower. When I see the fire, I will take your majesty and the ministers out of the city and go in the direction of customs clearance. At that time, we will wait for General Lv Bu's return in Tongguan." Although Xun Yu has already approved Ma Teng's actions, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. No one can judge the final trend of a war until the last minute, so Xun Yu has to prepare for the worst. Once Chang'an City is broken, Xun Yu will find a way to protect Emperor Xian for Lv Bu and the hard-won situation. As long as Emperor Xian is in hand, even if Chang'an City is lost, it is just a city, and it will come back sooner or later.
"Lord Changshi, don't worry, Cheng Lian knows what to do. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will never give up Chang'an City easily." For Xun Yu's final arrangement, Cheng Lian naturally knows that it is a last resort plan, so for now, keeping Chang'an City is the best choice.
"There will be General Lao in everything." After saying that, Xun Yu took a group of cavalry and went directly to the palace. He wanted to take over the palace as soon as possible to ensure that the minister and Emperor Xian would be in his hands at any time.
"General, what shall we do now?" Near Chang'an City, a general in the woods asked the first general. Behind the crowd, countless soldiers were hiding in the darkness. These soldiers and horses were not others, but the remaining 30,000 defenders of Chang'an City, which were sent out to reclaim the wasteland by Xun Yu.
"Nowadays, Ma Teng's army is very powerful. If we rush out like this, we will die in vain, so we can only wait for the opportunity here at present." The general looked at Chang'an City, which was fighting fiercely in the distance, and then said silently. As soon as this soldier and horse learned the news that the Ma Teng army besieged Chang'an, they rushed back at night. However, in the face of the powerful Ma Teng army, this army has never had a chance. As the main general of this army, Xun Qian deeply knew that the importance of this soldier and horse to the guard of Chang'an City, but in the face of Ma Teng's army, now this soldier and horse can't get up. At any role, I'm afraid that as soon as this army appears in front of Ma Teng's army, it will be killed by Ma Teng's army in an instant.
"General, now that Chang'an City is in danger, if we don't go to the rescue, I'm afraid that Chang'an City will be captured by Ma Teng's army." As generals in the army, these people are still very clear about the situation in Chang'an City at present, so they argue with Xun Qian. After all, in the eyes of these generals, Xun Xun is just a civil official who has no combat experience. If it weren't for Xun Yu's younger brother, I'm afraid that Xun Zhen would not be allowed to lead him when he went out for reclamation this time. Team, even if Xun Qian is allowed to lead the team, it only shows Xun Yu's affirmation of Xun Qian's ability in agriculture, but does not mean that once the war comes, these people still need to listen to Xun Qian's command. Thinking of this, the generals questioned the leadership authority of Xun Qian.
"I understand everyone's mood. Everyone's home in Chang'an is also my Xun's home. There are not only your families in Chang'an City, but also many children of my Xun's family, but is it useful for us to kill like this now? We are the garrison of Chang'an City. Our responsibility is to guard Chang'an City, not for sacrifice. If we rush out now and are killed by Ma Teng, what hope is there in Chang'an City? Who else can we rely on to save it? Xun Qian turned around and saw that the generals didn't trust him, so he said. Xun Qian understood that the first thing he had to do now was to stabilize the army. Only by asking these people can he have a chance to fight in Chang'an City.
"The general is right, but the general should always talk about the general's plan. Let's wait so foolishly and watch Ma Tengjun attack Chang'an City. We can't do it." Hearing the meaning of Xun's words, a general said on behalf of everyone.
"The general just saw it. Ma Teng sent Ma Chao to lead 30,000 cavalry to patrol nearby to prevent any soldiers and horses from approaching and destroy his siege plan. Excuse me, everyone, how can we go out now and face the 30,000 cavalry led by Ma Chao?" Xun Qian was not in a hurry to answer, but turned to ask.
In the face of Xun Qian's question, none of the generals answered, but they all of a sudden. Everyone knows that the gap between the cavalry and the foot soldiers. These 30,000 soldiers are just ordinary soldiers. There is nothing to be picky about relying on the wall to stop the enemy at ordinary times, but they have to fight against the cavalry in the wilderness. It's still the same number of cavalry, so there are only a number of possibilities waiting for them, that is death. So everyone was silent and no one said anything.
"So we can only wait and wait for the opportunity now." Seeing that no one was talking, Xun Qian said. There is nothing he can do.
"But what's the difference between waiting like this and waiting for death? When Ma Teng completely captures Chang'an City, aren't we the same? At this time, someone else said. It must be that Xun's idea is obviously not smart.
"Don't worry. Lord Changshi will create opportunities for us. I am his younger brother. I understand what kind of person he is. Even everyone will not sit and wait for death, so my brother, Lord Changshi Xunyu will not sit and wait for death. I believe he is now trying to find a way to make this opportunity for us. Up to now, Xun Yu can only carry out Xun Yu. Since the officer's power, Xun Yu has done a lot of good things and has a high prestige among the military and the people. At this time, only Xun Yu can suppress the scene. In the eyes of these generals, Xun Yu can only pass through the sky, and he is a god-like figure. Xun Qian's words are naturally recognized by everyone.
"Kill me, kill the city, occupy Chang'an, and kill all the thieves." Outside the west gate of Chang'an City, Ma Teng climbed the cloud ladder and roared hoarsely. When he said to Ma Chao that Ma Chao would return to Lv Bu if he was invincible in this battle, Ma Teng had already prepared the plan to become benevolent in this invincible battle. Ma Teng is a proud person. He has been famous in this life, and has also been prominent for a while. He was unconvinced and unconvinced. Lv Bu has now reached a point that he can't reach, so he decided to fight in the end and use his best. Ma Teng is very clear about this. Ma Teng was also very clear about the feelings between Ma Yunlu and Lv Bu, which also made Ma Teng decide to fight for the last one without scruples. With the relationship between Ma Yunlu and Lv Bu, I don't think it will be difficult for Ma Chao even if he fails. And this is exactly what Ma Teng said was to let Ma Chao go to Lv Bu after his failure, and now, Ma Teng has to make his last efforts for his ideals and for his ambition.
"Give me a shot, shoot the old man Ma Teng to death." Above the Chang'an Tower, Cheng Lian looked at Ma Teng, who was climbing the ladder below. He was furious and ordered the archers beside him.
"Whew." With Cheng Lian's order, countless bows and arrows flew away at the horse on the ladder like rain. When Ma Teng saw this scene, he quickly waved the long sword in his hand to block it. On the twist of Ma Teng's body, the whole ladder also shook at this time. Even so, there were still feather arrows breaking through the air, and with a few "poop" sounds, it shot Ma Teng.
"General, be careful." Ma Dai, who had been protecting Ma Teng, hurried forward and protected Ma Teng with a shield, which saved Ma Teng.
"The doctor, show it to the general." After saving Ma Teng, Ma Dai hurriedly found a doctor to treat Ma Teng.
"Ma Dai, take my sword and capture Chang'an for me." At this moment, Ma Teng stretched out his hand and grabbed Ma Dai's hand, handed his sword to Ma Dai, and then solemnly told him.
"Yes, General, don't worry, Ma Dai will do it now." After saying that, Ma Dai picked up the horse's painful sword and said loudly, "Follow me." Then he took a group of soldiers and horses to attack the wall of Chang'an.
At the same time, the doctors who were found also hurriedly bandaged Ma Teng.
"Rumble. Rumble." A violent sound of horses' hoofs came. Ma Chao, who was on patrol, suddenly narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look into the darkness in the distance: "Is this direction? Brother Lv Bu, did you lead the troops here? While Ma Chao raised this question, the soldiers around Ma Chao also quickly gathered. These soldiers were all brought out by Ma Chao from Xiliang, the most elite Xiliang iron riders of the Ma family.
"No matter who it is, this battle is always inevitable. Brother Lv Bu, in fact, I also want to see how strong your wolf horse is." As soon as he changed his confusion, there was a trace of excitement on Ma Chao's face. As a martial artist, since he chose to make a living under the knife and gun, he should be fearless, even if your opponent claims to be invincible in the world.
