The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 276 Xixia Siege Ma Teng's Great Defeat

Ma Teng naturally knew that his son's remonstrance was correct, but judging from the previous battle situation, Xixia also had elite cavalry, and the effect of cavalry assault was not great.

But looking at the tall siege equipment, Ma Chao can only let Ma Chao lead the cavalry out of the city, and if he can burn one of them, it is a must!
After Ma Chao took the order, he turned over and walked down the city wall. After a while, the Xixia army saw Ma Chao leading Qingqi out of the city, and immediately a group of cavalry appeared from behind. The leader was Zan Tianwang!

Only King Zan Tian could balance Ma Chao's bravery. Zhang Pu had already predicted that Ma Teng would send cavalry to destroy the siege equipment, and asked King Zan Tian to guard the side with his light cavalry.

Zan Tianwang carried the gold-plated boring and led Qingqi, and directly fought with Ma Chao's Qingqi, and Zan Tianwang faced Ma Chao again!
All the Xixia infantry were pushing huge siege vehicles, regardless of Ma Chao Qingqi's charge, and the supervisor team supervised the battle in the rear, without pushing hard, and did not use Ma Chao's troops to kill them, the supervisor team's swords would directly cut them.

Ma Chao was very anxious at this time. He came out of the city to destroy these siege weapons, not to find King Zan to catch and fight. Ma Chao charged into the formation, but did not allow Ma Chao's Qingqi to take another step forward.

In order to be safe, Zhang Pu not only prepared the cavalry guard Zan Tianwang, but also Yeli Wangrong and Ji Lasiyi each had a team of light cavalry guards and siege equipment, and even for these siege equipment, they would dispatch ace troops as a last resort Iron kite!

Ma Teng on the city wall saw that Ma Chao's light cavalry was not good enough to harass, and the huge siege engine was slowly pushed into the city wall, and immediately shouted: "Ming Jin asked Ma Chao to come back, and Pang Rou speeded up and prepared fuel and torches! Wait for the siege engine!" If you get close, attack with fire!"

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The golden gong sounded on the city wall. Ma Chao knew that his purpose of destroying the siege engine had been defeated, so he had no choice but to retreat to the city. Didn't King Zan Tian never think about chasing Ma Chao's army into the city.

But within the range of the archers under the city wall, the arrows rained down so that King Zan had to give up this idea, but the goal of protecting the siege vehicle had been achieved.

To say that the Han army is good at defense is indeed correct!
However, the Han army is good at defending.

But if there is a leaderboard for the defenders of the Han Dynasty, then the cavalry players from Xiliang will be at the bottom of the ranking!
The people of Xiliang are tough, and there are many cavalry. Although most of the cities are not fortified cities, the warlords of Xiliang prefer field battles, using Xiliang iron cavalry to crush the opponent.

This led to a situation where the Xiliang army was tough in field battles, and they were blinded by both attacking and defending the city!
Didn't you see that Dong Zhuo couldn't hold such powerful passes as Luoyang and Hulao back then!

However, although the Xixia people built a series of siege vehicles because of Zhang Pu, the siege can be regarded as a junior rookie. Now they can peck each other with the rookies of the Xiliang Army. The original nomadic siege was not even a bird's egg!
The siege truck was pushed closer and closer, and Ma Teng, Pang De and others on the city wall shouted: "Shoot arrows! Aim at the soldiers pushing the siege truck and shoot arrows!"

Naturally, the siege side also fought back. The two sides were almost evenly matched in terms of archery skills, but the Xixia army didn't have any shields. Many infantrymen outside the siege vehicles were shot down. Of course, the price was that many archers on the city wall were also hit The arrow fell to the ground.

As the attack range got closer and closer, the infantry pushing the siege engine fell to the ground and died, and the momentum of the siege engine gradually slowed down. Ma Teng, Pound and others shot arrows in person, trying to prevent the siege engine from approaching the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Pu waved his hand and groups of light cavalry galloped around the city wall, and then shot arrows at the city wall one after another.Housekeeping skills of nomads!
Zhang Pu's counterattack once caused heavy losses to the soldiers on the city wall. There were only so many archers defending the city. How could it be possible to shoot both the soldiers pushing the siege chariot and the cavalry who were running!

In the end, it was Ma Teng who ordered those with leather shields to step forward, and the archers' throws slowly reduced their losses. But in this way, the accuracy of the arrows depended on the sky, and the speed of the siege vehicles was several minutes faster.

"Pang Rou! What about the fierce fire oil and the torch? They are about to attack the city, and the torch is not ready yet!"

(As mentioned earlier, there is no rocket in this era, and the original time and space will be invented by Hao Shao, a famous general of Wei State, decades later!)

Following Ma Teng's roar, Pang Rou finally led a group of people, each with a few pots tied around their waists and a torch in their hand, to the city wall.

"Everyone, fire the oil and throw the torches at the siege vehicle. The focus is on the siege vehicle!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" With the forceful throwing of the soldiers on the city wall, hundreds of earthen pots flew out to make the sound of shattering, and the scene was quite spectacular!

"Huh! Huh! Huh! Ah! Ah!" Followed by the parabola of hundreds of torches, coupled with the combustion-supporting fire oil, several siege vehicles were instantly ignited, even if they were covered with wet cowhide, it was useless. It will still catch fire but will produce black smoke, which is so choking that people can't breathe!
Of course, the siege engines were not the only ones that were ignited. The soldiers pushing the siege engines, and the soldiers who were ready to ascend the city after being contaminated with fierce kerosene, turned into burning men and began to scream.

The car that was being taken care of and prepared to hit the city gate instantly turned into a pile of fire, and even the dozen or so soldiers pushing the car turned into fuel.

Although Ma Teng's fire attack was effective and burned down the siege vehicles and several siege vehicles, Ma Teng still couldn't be happy because only one-third of the siege vehicles were destroyed, that is to say, there were another three Two-thirds of the siege engines were still slowly moving towards the city wall.

"Pang Rou continues to take the kerosene and torches, ready to burn these things! Pound, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Tie come with me, and kill this barbarian!"

Since hand-to-hand combat is unavoidable, then a desperate fight is necessary. Ma Teng, a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, is also known for his bravery.

"Boom!...&*...*!" As the siege vehicle approached the city wall, the Xixia infantry shouted incomprehensible slogans, and began to rush forward frantically. The city wall was linked by the siege vehicle, and there was a steady stream of Xixia soldiers You can climb to the top of the city, and the leader is the elite Bubazi!
Ma Chao, as the arrow guarding the city, was the first Xixia soldier who was about to set foot on the city wall to be beheaded by Ma Chao!

The five-hook god Feiliang stabbed forward and then pulled back. Two Xixia soldiers fell directly to the top of the wall. Ma Chaozhi bravely withstood a wall. The infantry was decapitated and kicked off the wall.

But fierce generals like Ma Chao and Pound could only resist the force of two siege engines. As more and more siege engines bordered on the city wall, Xixia soldiers gradually rushed to the city wall.

Zhang Pu laughed when he saw this situation from behind!
"My lord, it's time for Zan Tian Wang, Ye Li Wang Rong, Ji La Si Yi, and Ren Duo Bao Zhong to play!"
