Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 70 Siege
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

I finally slowly moved away from the dangerous wall.

At a certain edge of a branch of the Qinling Mountains, Xue Wanche finally led the team out of the mountain.

The scouts were exploring the road, but he himself took a lonely road, so he should not have been noticed by the enemy.

My mission this time sounds simple. I just go to support my comrades in Hangu Pass. But the problem is that I only have two thousand infantry. Although I am an elite, I can't know that others have a numerical advantage.

But let's go on with the head straight.

The scouts quietly withdrew and headed towards Hangu Pass to investigate.

After several days of marching in the mountains, the energy of the soldiers under his command was no longer too strong, but they were still heading towards Hangu Pass.

At this time, Huo Qubing and Feng Li were in a helpless state.

A person's ability is limited, no matter how elite their small army is, they can only hide in the dark helplessly in the face of a huge advantage of more than 1 people.

Fortunately, the city wall of Hangu Pass is really strong. They still haven't been able to break through it yet, but how long can the people inside hold on?
Everyone was unclear, and Ma Chao was even more confused.

At the beginning of the battle, I was still in a relaxed state, just observing the focus of the enemy's attack, and then let the soldiers block the position.

It's just that, gradually, there are more and more loopholes on the city wall, and I need to go and lead people to plug them up, and then, there seems to be no one around me. On the entire city wall, except for those who stick to their posts, who can There are no more people who use it.

There were only 500 people still on standby in the city. Ma Chao knew in his heart that these people had not yet been used.

If they were really moved, it must be that the situation was so dangerous that it could not be stopped before the 500-man reserve team could really walk up to the city wall.

But now, their existence is to give great confidence to everyone on the battlefield. At least, there is still a reserve team, so it is not yet the moment of desperation.

The weight of the spear in Ma Chao's hand has become heavier and heavier.

The armor on his body was already dragging his agility.

The steps started to stagger a little, but I just wanted to rely on the breath in my heart to hold on and not fall down.

And the number of the team under his command has been slowly decreasing.

The number of enemies under the city seems to have no tendency to decrease, and the number of them is getting larger and larger.

He mobilized the troops from all the surrounding cities and blocked the entire west gate of Hangu Pass.

The only thing that makes Ma Chao feel lucky now is that the path of Hangu Pass is really too narrow.

If the enemy army wants to attack, there are only less than ten people in a horizontal line. The narrow roads severely limit the enemy's numerical advantage. Otherwise, if it is a normal pass, it will be captured early.

After all, attacking from all directions is the proper choice for siege, but the road restrictions force the enemies under the city to come only from the front.

Although there is such an advantage, the generals under the city have already determined the approximate number of soldiers under their command, so they clearly demonstrated their tactics: use the number of people to pile you up to death.

A steady stream of soldiers were sent up as consumables to keep the people in the city from resting.

The siege took place regardless of day or night. The bright fires at night maintained the progress of this cruel war. When the flames soared into the sky, the entire city wall seemed like day.

In the first two days and day and night, Ma Chao's subordinates at least had time to take turns to rest.

However, by the night of the third day, wanting to rest had gradually become a luxury, because someone had to replace the people who fell on the city wall.

Therefore, on the fourth day of this confrontation between the offensive and defensive sides, the side defending the city wall was gradually exhausted.

As the siege party, it is natural to feel the weakening of the counterattack.

As a result, more elite soldiers were transferred up to undertake the task of attacking.

As a result, the city wall, which was tightly held in Ma Chao's hands, was climbed up by the enemy several times.

Therefore, Ma Chao on the city wall and the guards around him became firefighters on the entire city wall.

Just as the enemy was driven down here, another enemy appeared there, and the fight around the city wall began to gradually heat up.

The spear in Ma Chao's hand stabbed fiercely, and stabbed a soldier with a fierce face into the city wall.

And the person following him who had exposed half of his body on the city wall was smashed down by Ma Chao's long spear.

He just let out a scream in the air, then hit the ground and lost his movement.

Ma Chao didn't stop, he just turned around and ran towards another fight not far away.

Three enemies have already climbed up and stood upright inside the city wall.

The three people formed a formation to resist the attack of the defenders.

And on this ladder, someone is already climbing up quickly, heading towards the city wall.

"Stand back and let me come." Ma Chao shouted.

The soldiers guarding the city also heard the order and retreated to one side.

Ma Chao dragged his spear, took a few steps quickly, and rushed towards the enemy.

The person opposite was not an easy character to deal with. Instead of retreating, he advanced instead. He waved the long knife in his hand, shouted loudly to increase his momentum, and struck at Ma Chao.

At the same time, the two people around him did not hesitate. A spear and a shield also greeted Ma Chao.

What a good Ma Chao, he twisted around the slashed sword, the spear in his hand rotated with his body, and stabbed the shield hand fiercely.

"Crack." With the sound of the shield shattering, the spear in Ma Chao's hand ruthlessly plunged into the enemy's throat.

He stepped back, drew back the spear, and blocked the knife that was slashing at him sideways.

At the same time, he exerted force with his feet and kicked out, knocking the soldier holding the spear to the ground. The gun barrel in his hand changed with the force, and he leaned towards his side with the long knife.

A fierce knee strike met the enemy who was reluctant to let go of the long knife in his hand.

"Boom." A dull voice came over, and the collision between knees and chest determined the outcome in an instant.

The long knife in his hand hit the ground with a "bang", and the upright body slowly crouched on the ground.

Ma Chao picked up his long knife, walked quickly a few steps, grabbed his helmet, and the long knife in his hand changed, scraping his throat fiercely.

A line of blood appeared on his throat, and then it slowly expanded, but the hands that were originally weak also slowly fell down when they were halfway up.

Ma Chao kicked the corpse to the ground, picked up a section of the spear, and walked towards another battlefield on the city wall.

At this moment, Ma Chao knew that he could not show weakness, otherwise, the soldiers under his command would collapse immediately.
