Chapter 219 Today, I Must Conquer The Luokou Fortress! 【1】
Something happened in Chang'an?
Ma Teng's expression changed.
Fazheng went on to say: "Last night, Cheng Yin launched a rebellion. Our defenders were killed and we were caught off guard. We have withdrawn from Chang'an, and the city of Chang'an has been stolen by Cheng Yin!"
boom!
A thunderbolt hit the top of the head in the air~.
Ma Teng shook his body, suddenly became dizzy, and almost sat down.
"Father handsome!"
Ma Chao stepped forward - and supported Ma Teng.
Jia Xu who was on the couch also changed color from shock and struggled to sit up.
Ma Teng panted and asked, "Ziyue sits in Chang'an, why didn't he put down the rebellion?"
"According to the surviving escapees, General Ziyue was hijacked by Cheng Yin's design and was unable to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, so the army had no command and was defeated one by one!"
Fazheng said with a bitter face.
Ma Teng's heart was shocked again, with that expression, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Jia Xu.
Unfortunately, Jia Xu's worries were right!
"Wenhe!"
"It's all been said by you, now, what should I do?"
Ma Teng's voice was hoarse, his size was out of order.
Jia Xu coughed and said, "Elder Sima, although Cheng Yin is in Chang'an, the old man thinks that the number of rebels must not be many, please send troops back to Chang'an quickly, and take Chang'an back as soon as Chang'an has just fallen!"
"Wen He makes sense."
Ma Teng nodded again and again, but he was worried: "But if I return to the army to put down the rebellion, then Liu Wu will take advantage of the situation to attack Luokousai, what should I do?"
Jia Xu said: "The rebellion just broke out in Chang'an, Liu Wu may not be able to get the news for a while, as long as Da Sima can quell the rebellion as quickly as possible, he can lead his army back before Liu Wu attacks Luokousai!"
Ma Teng looked at Fazheng.
Fazheng cupped his hands and said, "Da Sima, this is the only plan for the present."
The two counselors coincided with each other, and Ma Teng naturally had no choice.
At that moment, he left Ma Chao to lead the army to defend Luokou, while he led 20,000 cavalry, left Luokou immediately, and rushed to Chang'an to suppress the rebellion.
Han camp.
In the imperial tent, Liu Wu had just fallen asleep.
Outside the tent, Xu Chu shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, Chang'an has a letter!"
Liu Wu asked lazily: "If you have any letter, please tell me.
Xu Chu said: "Your Majesty, Cheng Yin has sent someone to deliver a letter, claiming that the mutiny has been successful and Chang'an has been captured.
Liu Wu laughed, and immediately sent an order to summon all the generals.
For a moment.
Advisers and military generals gathered in the imperial account.
Liu Wu then told the news of the Chang'an mutiny to all his ministers.
All the ministers were ecstatic.
Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, the city of Chang'an is lost, Ma Teng must rush back to quell the rebellion, and the number of soldiers and horses in Luokousai has dropped sharply. It is a great opportunity for us to destroy it in one fell swoop. Please give an order, Your Majesty!"
"Cheng Yin has few soldiers. If Ma Teng returns to Division Chang'an, I'm afraid they won't be able to last for a long time. I ask His Majesty to issue an order immediately to break through the Luokou fortress!"
Cao Ren also spoke up.
The generals are generous because they don't want to fight.
"boom!"
Liu Wu jumped up against the table and shouted: "Pass the decree, the whole army will attack, give me a boost, and clear Luo's mouth!"
The order was passed.
All the generals of the Han camp came out in full force, and hundreds of thousands of Han camp soldiers rushed towards Luokousai.
The sound of killing shook the sky, and the cavalry shook the ground.
city head.
Facing thousands of Han troops rushing in like a torrent, the Xiliang army was all terrified.
Ma Chao decided to go to the top of the city immediately.
As soon as you look up, you can see that the Han army on the city is already overwhelming, and they are rushing in, and there is no end to the vastness.
"The commander-in-chief returned to Chang'an, and the Han army came to attack me at Luokou. Could it be that Liu Wu knew about Cheng Yin's rebellion?"
Ma Chao gasped, guessing secretly.
Fazheng said: "Young General, this is the end of the matter, we must defend the city no matter what!"
Ma Chao was sober, and shouted: "Decree, all soldiers, as long as they have breath, go to the city immediately, guard the Luokou plug, and kill those who retreat!"
Under Ma Chao's strict order, more than 20,000 Xiliang soldiers in the middle of the fortress mustered up their spirits and went to the city to resist.
The water dragon attack of the Han army had seriously injured the vitality of the Xiliang army, and everyone was injured.
The soldiers in the upper city had a stroke, and even half of them lost their fingers due to freezing.
These people struggled even to hold weapons, let alone confronting the tiger-like Han army.
However, the Han army is full of physical strength and fighting spirit.
Liu Wu pointed his halberd and shouted: "Generals and soldiers of the Han army, the first one to kill Luokousai will be rewarded!"
...asking for flowers...
The emperor promised a lot of rewards, and the soldiers of the Han army were even more motivated to fight.
Like tens of thousands of soldiers, regardless of life and death, they scrambled towards the top of the city.
In a blink of an eye, the city wall of Luokousai was densely packed with soldiers.
"Block the enemy!"
Ma Chao waved his silver gun and gave orders hoarsely.
The Xiliang soldiers who were full of frostbite could only use their best efforts to open their bows and launch flying stones and torreya trees to attack the soldiers of the Han army.
On the front of the east city, it was Cao Ren who led the army to attack.
Pointing his sword at the enemy city, he shouted: "Bowmen, shoot to death!"
Ten thousand crossbowmen of the Han army, raining sharp arrows, stormed towards the top of the city.
The sound of piercing the sky overwhelmed all the sounds between heaven and earth.
Under the arrow rain's attack, there were endless screams.
Thousands of Xiliang soldiers were shot in pieces like weeds, and they either fell off the wall or fell into the ice and snow.
Hundreds of steps along the city, hundreds of ladders were erected, countless soldiers of the Han army, desperately climbing towards the madness.
One soldier was hit by an arrow, and the soldiers behind, without fear, went up desperately and continued to climb up.
Under the supervision of Cao Ren, the soldiers of the Han army attacked the city bravely. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of people had climbed to the top of the city and started fighting with the enemy.
city head.
Seeing that the line on the left side of the city was about to lose its hold, Ma Chao immediately led his 500 relatives to rush there. With his extraordinary martial arts skills, he beheaded more than ten Han soldiers and suppressed the Han army's offensive.
Seeing this, Cao Ren shouted, "Bring me my iron tire bow!"
The pro-army hurriedly presented a hard bow.
Cao Ren hangs on to the saber, holds the iron tire bow in his hand, and bends the bow to aim at Ma Chao, the head of the city.
boom!
An arrow pierced through the air, like a shooting star, and went straight to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao is so skilled in martial arts, if it is normal, such a cold arrow will definitely not hurt him.
But now his mind is confused, he heard the sound of arrows, he raised his head suddenly, and saw a stream of light approaching his eyes repeatedly.
He had just beheaded a Han pawn with his silver spear, and he had no time to block back, so he had to make a mistake and wanted to dodge.
Cao Ren's arrow was fast and hasty, how can he easily block it.
There was a muffled sound, and a streak of blood spattered.
Cao Ren's arrow hit Ma Chao's right shoulder!
