At this time, Li Chi, who was standing on the top of Longxi City, wearing a black phoenix-patterned pocket, ink-colored fish scale armor all over his body, and a white jersey on his shoulders, looked at the fire that almost lit up the night sky in the inner city of Longxi, and couldn't help but worry: Can the Liangzhou Army under the city be able to How could they watch the fire from the other side when they saw the possibility of civil strife in Longxi?
Sure enough, the torch that had been extinguished in the distance seemed to be suddenly ignited by fighting spirit.
It was like a will-o'-the-wisp that filled the sky and the fields, and instantly became an endless sea of fire.
Then, the torches gradually gathered together, forming an obvious square formation, and then moved forward rapidly.
Li Chi could see that there were only more than 60,000 torches lit this time, and there was no noise or shouting at all.
Such a situation is truly the solemnity and solemnity of a night siege.
Li Chi couldn't help but sweating on his palms as he watched.
He wanted to be like Ma Chao, who could tell the direction and intention of the enemy's attack at a glance with his commander-in-chief's heart.
But he didn't after all.
He could only wave his hand suddenly when the army was still five hundred steps away from Longxi, causing the Ma family's banner to waver slightly.
As soon as this silent order was given, the soldiers on the city had already picked up their crossbows, calibrated Wangshan, and aimed at the enemies in front.
As soon as they got within range, the first wave of arrows would send their vanguard to hell.
This is what allows Li Chi to remain calm and calm at the moment: First of all, it was only when Cheng Gongying launched an all-out attack in Longxi City a few days ago that some of the Longxi City walls were damaged.
But after Ma Chao settled in Longxi, he then repaired the city and built high walls and thick walls, which always made the defenders feel more at ease.
What's more, the crossbows used by those soldiers at this time are not ordinary city defense crossbows.
Instead, they were a batch of powerful mountain-destroying crossbows specially left by the Majia Infantry Battalion.
Not only were they powerful, they also had the function of flexible aiming.
There are also many things such as falling rocks, boiling oil, hammers, and poles that have been stored to defend the city during these days.
As long as Ma Wan's army in the Ma family's camp behind him can take over the defense of the city, Li Chi estimates that even if they defend the city for three days and three nights, the enemy will not be able to easily break through Longxi County.
But when the enemy army reached about 500 steps in front of the city, they slowly stopped.
Only the endless torches in the distance were still shaking.
Li Chi was surprised because he saw that the enemy was once again adjusting their siege formation at this five hundred-step range, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Longxi City in one fell swoop.
Could it be that the enemy already knew the defense situation of Longxi County?
Otherwise, why would they gather their formation again just outside the sensitive range of 500 steps?
This idea suddenly made Li Chi panic.
And before Li Chi could figure it out, the enemy's war drums sounded once again, and the shouts and shouts were heard together.
The overwhelming momentum was obviously going to take a breath.
You cannot swallow Longxi City.
"Break through Longxi and kill Ma Chao."
This deafening cry suddenly broke out and made the entire Longxi city echo.
"Longxi cannot be broken, and the Ma family cannot be defeated."
Li Chi was angered by this cry, and he used all his strength to yell out his answer.
And then, the five thousand defenders on the city wall also responded with a mighty force, which was no less powerful than the 60,000 troops.
"Kill" Liangzhou soldiers under the city suddenly attacked, and the dense torches suddenly collapsed like fireballs, scattered in all directions of Longxi City, and fired rapidly.
"Kill" Li Chi suddenly cut off his right hand, and the mountain-destroying crossbows on the city wall all fired in unison, with a thumping sound of the strings, stirring the mind.
The huge crossbow arrows were like an attack of ice water, instantly extinguishing the group of people under the city. of fire "kill" At this time, Ma Chao in the city also shouted loudly.
After the curfew bells and drums rang in the city, the people in Longxi City knew that they were not allowed to go out at night even if they died, otherwise they would be considered as rebels.
In addition to being usable at night, this signal is also applicable during special street restrictions.
Almost as soon as the order was issued, the streets of Longxi were deserted, leaving only the troublemakers.
Obviously, these people came for Ma Chao.
They were scattered around Ma Chao's personal guards, waiting for opportunities.
But as soon as Ma Chao's curfew was issued, these people acted like ghosts exposed in the daylight.
They showed their ferocious fangs one by one, and they all went to fight against Ma Chao's personal guards.
Seeing this, Ma Wan frowned and shouted: "Hurry and protect the lord!"
Then, Ma Wan took the lead, provoked a spy, and shouted to Ma Chao: "Lord, be careful, these people are from the Yan family in Jincheng.

"death warrior" Ma Chao has a deep understanding of the Yan family's dead men.
The Yan family in Jincheng was a well-known martial family in Liangzhou.
When Yan Xing was forced to move the Yan family to Fufeng, Ma Chao had personally seen those who died in the Yan family.
These dead men did not marry and have children at all.
After entering the Yan family, except for practicing martial arts, they did not care about anything else.
His fierce and brave spirit really makes people feel headaches and frightened.
In front of me, although these people were only five or six hundred, they were all strong and strong.
It must have been Cheng Gongying who arranged to sneak into Longxi some time ago.
When they suddenly arrived and started a bloody massacre, Cheng Gongying had no time to notify them to take action, so they stayed dormant until today.
Today, Ma Chao took the initiative to provoke civil strife in Longxi City.
When they learned that Cheng Gongying's army had arrived again, they were finally shouted at by the shadows arranged by Ma Chao in advance and appeared one after another.
However, even though they have been exposed, because they are all in the inner city of Longxi at this time, the consequences are beyond description in words. novel network The only way is to fight quickly Fortunately, most of these dead soldiers were accustomed to fighting alone.
When faced with the well-equipped and well-trained personal guards of Ma Chao, they immediately seemed a little stretched.
Under the coordinated attack of Yuan Rong's crossbows, spears and three-two formations, even though these people were highly skilled in martial arts, they could not escape the fate of being massacred.
What's more, in front of martial arts masters like Ma Chao, they were almost defenseless.
Dressed in brocade clothes, black and white guns roared.
When Ma Chao entered the camp of these dead soldiers, he was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, unstoppable.
In fact, some dead soldiers were easily killed by Ma Chao, who was full of military sense on the battlefield, without even taking a look at Ma Chao's face.
Ma Wan saw how powerful Ma was and was sincerely glad that he had made the right choice earlier.
However, when Ma Chao couldn't take care of him, he suddenly grabbed a dead soldier by the neck, whispered a few words quickly in his ear, and then shot his arm with a shot, throwing the soldier away. go out
After this dead soldier fell to the ground, although he only had half a life left, he suddenly stood up again and roared: "Brothers, we have fallen into the trap.
The army outside the city has arrived.
Let's hurry up."
We need to open the city gate inside and join the army before we can kill Ma Chao."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dead soldier felt a pain in his stomach: It turned out that he was provoked by Ma Wan again.
"Before the dog thief is about to die, he talks so much nonsense."
Ma Wan looked very angry.
After throwing the man high in the air, he waved his right arm and cut the man into several pieces.
But this man's words finally reminded those dead soldiers who were still fighting after being trapped.
After hearing this, they all tried their best to break through the siege and rushed towards the outer city.
Apparently they wanted to open the city gate, lower the drawbridge and welcome Cheng Gongying's army into the city.
When Ma Chao saw this, he was panic-stricken.
He quickly walked to Ma Wan and said, "General Ma, come with me quickly to chase down the bandits.
I don't believe that these two-legged ones can outrun four-legged ones."
"Dare you disobey me?"
Seeing Ma Chao's expression, Ma Wan happily accepted the order and followed Ma Chao closely.
However, he didn't realize that Ma Chao's bodyguard seemed to have used the opportunity to kill the rebels to cleverly block the shouts, and even unknowingly intercepted Ma Wan's bodyguard.
As the two men chased and killed them all the way, when they reached the outer city, only Ma Chao and Ma Wan were left.
And in that area, there were fierce shouts of killing, and it was obvious that the bandits were slaughtering the people there.
"Thieves who harm the people, today I will show you the power of the two horses."
Ma Chao was immediately furious.
After glancing at the horses, he said, "General, follow me, Ma Chao, to charge and kill alone.
Do you have the courage?"
Ma Wan was first praised by Ma Chao, and seeing how heroic Ma Chao was, he didn't even think about the strange fact that his bodyguard was no longer behind him, so he replied with enthusiasm: "I'm so lucky, how dare I not obey?"
Before he finished speaking, Ma Wan rushed in first to show his loyalty.

Ma Chao, who was behind, looked at Ma Wan's "loyal" back and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: In terms of acting skills, you are still not as good as brother. s: It’s so lively today.
