Taking advantage of the morale at the moment when the Longxi County flag was shot down, Brother Chou's troops launched the first round of attacks.
More than two thousand strong men wearing heavy armor and carrying large shields similar to door panels slowly marched towards them in a horizontal formation.
Moving in the direction of the city wall, dozens of carts pulled by mules, loaded with sandbags, slowly advanced behind the army.
Ma Chao stood on a high place riding an elephant dragon, watching coldly as the officers and soldiers under his command advanced slowly.
The firing of the ballistae became closer and closer, and the sound of piercing the air seemed to suppress everything in the world.
The entire battlefield spread an unsettling atmosphere.
The nauseating smell of blood made Ma Chao frown slightly: Although he was very accustomed to this kind of scene and smell, his keen senses always made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, these are human lives.
At this time, Brother Chou's infantry had approached the moat.
They picked up sandbags from the carts and started throwing them into the moat under the cover of their big shields.
Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump Bags of sand and soil were thrown in, but not even a shadow could be seen.
Brother Chou took advantage of the fact that the county soldiers on the city wall had not yet reacted.
He mounted his horse and went to the moat to take a look: This water is really damn water. deep At this moment, suddenly and unexpectedly, there was a sudden burst of dense bangs and gongs and drums on the top of the city.
The originally empty city was filled with people like magic, and a huge arrow as thick as an arm was struck by the city.
Head heavy The city defense crossbow arrows shot out and instantly penetrated the bodies of the two shield-holding soldiers, pinning them to the ground.
The two soldiers who were pierced by the big arrows were actually alive for a moment.
They were stuck on the arrow shafts and moved around with their hands and feet.
He kept struggling and calling out.
A deafening shout suddenly erupted from the top of the city.
The sound shook for miles, and for a moment it drowned out the sound of Ma Jiajun's ballistae and drums.
Ma Chao was startled, and the elephant dragon horse under his crotch was also very uneasy, and his front hooves Raise.
Ma Chao almost fell off his horse, but fortunately Ma Chao reacted quickly and grabbed the reins.
He shouted softly: "I heard that Lu Bu's red rabbit is a mare."
With these words, the elephant dragon under Ma Chao's crotch immediately became quiet.
He also seemed to straighten his back, making Ma Chao sit more comfortably.
The other war horses all regarded Xianglong as their boss, and they all calmed down under Xianglong's long hiss.
"It's not bad.
After capturing Longxi County and taking a rest for a year or two, Dong Zhuo will almost be killed by Lu Bu.
At that time, I will definitely go fish in the troubled waters of Chang'an.
As for whether I can seduce Red Rabbit and BMW, it depends on you.
Charm," Ma Chao said coquettishly in Xianglongma's ear, and Xianglongma seemed very angry that Ma Chao questioned its charm, and shook his head, and the horse's mane slapped Ma Chao all over his face.
"Ma Dai.
Let our crossbows compete with their mountain-destroying crossbows.
We must suppress their firepower."
He was joking.
If the high-tech weapon he worked so hard to develop would be defeated by this old-fashioned mountain-destroying crossbow, Stealing the limelight, Ma Chao decided to simply hit him to death.
And Ma Dai's face turned red.
He shouted angrily: "Shoot, shoot them all at the crossbow platform, let them see how powerful our arsenal is."
The entire artillery and crossbow team was also stimulated by the soldiers of Longxi County.
All the soldiers filling the crossbows were obviously reloading twice as fast as before.
The crossbowmen responsible for shooting also kept adjusting their positions during shooting until they aimed at the crossbow platform in Longxi County.
"Swish swish" Another round of arrows shot past, and a rain of arrows seemed to fall from the sky, which severely suppressed the mountain-destroying crossbow on Longxi County City.
Many crossbowmen were shot by the Ma Jiajun's crossbows and fell from the top of the city in a shower of blood.
At this moment, the morale of Chou Ge's men recovered again, and they hurriedly carried the sandbags and continued to throw them into the moat.
But Brother Chou kept shouting and galloping, urging his bastards to go faster.

What happened next made Ma Chao a little dumbfounded.
The soldiers in Longxi County City seemed to have received orders from their superiors.
Braving the rain of crossbow arrows, they carried door panels from nowhere and placed them on the crossbow platform.
As a result, the county soldiers behind the mountain-destroying crossbows were protected and began to fire back at the city without restraint.
Such strong morale, such excellent soldiers, and such a brilliant idea.
Ma Chao was astonished: he had used all the ballistae this time.
If it were an ordinary county, he would have been defeated long ago.
Even after many soldiers in Longxi County were shot and killed, none of them remained in disarray.
Moreover, he resolutely carried out the orders of his superiors.
Such county soldiers are no worse than the Ma family army in terms of military quality.
What worries Ma Chao even more is the commander on top of the city in Longxi County.
This man must have a great reputation and excellent combat adaptability.
He didn't panic even in a desperate situation, and he immediately thought of removing the door panel as a protective shield.
Although this method may seem a bit embarrassing, it is undoubtedly the most effective method.
Who is this person?
Ma Chao scratched his head.
He really couldn't think of anyone in Yongliang Prefecture, except Jia Xu and Yang Fu, who had such ability.
Just as Ma Chao was thinking, the momentum of the defenders on the Longxi County wall to fight back increased again: with the protection of the door panels, the crossbowmen on the wall no longer had any worries and fired hard at the bottom of the city.
Although the door panel blocked their view, they were all excellent and experienced crossbowmen.
Based on their previous impressions, they slightly adjusted the angle of the Mountain-Destroying Crossbow and started shooting randomly.
Brother Chou has about 1,500 infantrymen, spread out around the moat, looking very dense.
The crossbowmen on the city could fool a few people without even aiming.
This put heavy pressure on the Ma family sword and shield soldiers below the city.
In just a few breaths, many gaps appeared in the originally neat queue.
Countless Ma family soldiers lay groaning and crawling in a pool of blood.
Brother Chou immediately discovered this problem and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to disperse.
In this way, these veterans relied on their years of combat experience to cleverly run back and forth along the routes where crossbow arrows had been shot, and they were still throwing sandbags into the moat like old scalpers.
At this time, a very embarrassing scene appeared on the battlefield: the Ma's Army's crossbow arrows below the city were like raindrops, which made the county soldiers on the city unable to lift their heads, but failed to kill several county soldiers; although the county soldiers on the city all imitated He is smart and can fight back, but he is not accurate and just shoots blindly based on his feeling.
For a while, crossbow arrows flew back and forth, which was very lively.
Ma Chao's face turned purple with anger: These crossbows are all money.
This is really a fucking war of attrition.
Whoever has more fucking money will have the last laugh.
He hurriedly asked his soldiers to send a message to Ma Dai: "Don't shoot so hard.
As long as we can suppress the soldiers in Longxi County from showing their heads, we will come out this time.
We don't have many crossbows and we can't withstand such a waste."
Ma Chao was like this, and the unknown enemy general on the city wall seemed to have thought of this, and seemed to have issued an order for the crossbowmen to fire appropriately.
In the blink of an eye, another short and funny scene appeared on the battlefield: the two groups seemed to be fooling each other, shooting a few rounds of fierce arrows, and then relaxing for a while.
Anyway, it was probably because Ma Jiajun's shooting slowed down, so the Longxi County soldiers on the city wall moved the door panel to take a look, took aim at the target, and then shot hard.
Once they had enough shooting on the city wall, Ma Jiajun quickly fired a round of fire to suppress it.
This battle made the attackers feel uncomfortable, and the defenders also felt uncomfortable.
Ma Chao saw that the sun was about to set, so he planned to ask his subordinates to withdraw their troops: Damn it, I'm so suffocated, I won't play with you anymore. s: I don’t have much to say.
After cooking and eating, I will continue to code and update:
