Ma Chao's army filled in several solid roads in the trenches outside the city, and finally allowed the boulders to pass through.
With such a powerful siege weapon in his hand, Ma Chao was very confident that he could break the city overnight.
But for him, breaking the city is actually only secondary.
My main goal is to deal with the returning Xiahou Dun.
Block Xiahou Dun¡¯s return path here and capture him in one fell swoop.
At that time, there is no need for Ma Chao, as long as Xiahou Dun is tied up and brought to the city.
The city naturally surrendered and opened the door to dedicate the city.
However, before that, Ma Chao was still going to give the defenders in the city a painful lesson so that they would know that they were invincible.
So, after the road outside the city was repaired, they pushed five huge rocks back to the cannon, and slowly came to a distance of one mile outside the city.
"Launch!"
With a command, five boulders were shot out from the boulder return cannon, roaring and flying towards Linjing City Wall.
Seeing such a majestic trebuchet, Zhang Ji's expression changed instantly and he couldn't help but take a step back.
In the blink of an eye, the boulder had arrived and hit the city wall unceremoniously.
With such huge power, the city wall could not support it at all, and was smashed by huge rocks.
One of the boulders just flew to the top of the city, not only smashing the parapet for observation directly into pieces.
???????????????????????????????????????????: A steaming pan of oil was knocked over. For a while, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling in the city, and mourning was everywhere.
Violent oil spots splashed everywhere, and even Zhang Ji couldn't escape. His hands and face were burned by the oil spots, and there were a few fire blisters.
However, Zhang Ji remained unmoved, as if he was stunned.
It turns out that after he saw the power of the boulder with his own eyes, he was stunned by such terrifying destructive power.
The shadows of those trebuchets were all in my mind, and I didn¡¯t feel the burning heat of the oil at all.
After the boulder returned the cannon and fired a salvo, it was quickly loaded again and ready to be fired at any time.
However, Ma Chao was not in a hurry and did not give the order to continue the launch.
Ma Chao thought that his huge stone cannon had already shown its power and taught Cao Jun a lesson.
We can just wait for Xiahou Dun to throw himself into the trap later. There is no need to continue destroying the city wall.
After all, I might have to rely on this city to fight against Cao Cao in the future.
At this moment, a group of people finally appeared in the east direction of the city, fleeing in a hurry.
After Ma Chao heard the report, he led his troops to greet them without ceremony.
Xiahou Dun was only worried about the pursuers behind him, but he did not expect that there was an ambush in front of him.
He saw a man and horse coming towards him from a distance, and at first he thought it was Zhang Ji's reinforcements sent by him.
"Is De Rong here? Come with me to rescue Chong'er!"
Xiahou Dun shouted loudly to the people and horses on the opposite side, but there was no response from the other side.
While he was still in shock and doubt, the men and horses on the opposite side were getting closer and closer. Xiahou Dun finally saw clearly that the clothes of those men were definitely not those of Cao Jun.
He felt a thump in his heart, secretly thinking something was wrong, and turned around to run away.
Having just experienced a major defeat, Xiahou Dun did not dare to risk his life again.
But how could the other party allow him to leave so easily.
Xiahou Dun turned to the north, and suddenly there were figures behind the northern hillside, and the sound of killing was loud.
He was so frightened that he quickly turned to the south, but a man and horse also appeared from the south, waving flags and shouting with great momentum.
This frightened Xiahou Dun, who had just escaped from the ambush in the east.
Now the south and north sides are full of enemy troops, and there is also no way to escape.
While he was still hesitating, Ma Chao, who came from the west, had arrived not far away.
"Xiahou Dun, Ma Chao is here, you can't run away, why don't you hurry up and capture him!"
The person who came turned out to be Ma Chao! Xiahou Dun was shocked. He didn't expect that he would be surrounded again.
In order to carve out a bloody path, Xiahou Dun immediately rushed forward.
The reason why he chose Ma Chao's army to the west instead of turning to other directions.
I just thought that this place is relatively close to Linjing City, and I hope that the defenders in the city can hear the movement here and rush out of the city to respond.
Attacked from both sides, Ma Chao was defeated.
But Xiahou Dun never expected that the defenders in the city already had too much time to take care of themselves.
Not only was Ma ChaoA large army is blocked in the city and is still being bombarded by huge rocks. It is destined to be impossible to leave the city for support.
Seeing Xiahou Dun taking the initiative to attack, Ma Chao rushed forward without hesitation.
The dragon cavalry spear stabbed Xiahou Dun hard in the face.
Xiahou Dun was not a rookie either. He leaned down and swung the big knife in his hand horizontally, as if he wanted to cut Ma Chao in half.
Ma Chao missed with one blow. Without any hesitation, the tip of the spear drew an arc in the air, just in time to meet the incoming sword, and collided heavily with it.
After this collision, the weapons of the two men quickly bounced away and they each retracted them.
However, after only three breaths, the two fought together again.
This time, the battle became more intense, with the two weapons constantly colliding and sparks flying.
Seriously speaking, Xiahou Dun's strength is not as good as Ma Chao.
Xiahou Dun could still resist at first, but as the battle continued, Xiahou Dun's arms gradually became sore and swollen, and he became increasingly unable to lift his strength, finally showing his defeat.
Xiahou Dun knew Ma Chao¡¯s strength best.
He knew that if he continued like this, he would be stabbed off his horse soon.
So, he could only think about countermeasures anxiously.
At this time, there was another general under Xiahou Dun, named Zhang Yan, who was captured and subdued during a rebellion.
Zhang Yan was grateful for Xiahou Dun's kindness in not killing him. When he saw that his general was in critical condition, he immediately rushed forward to help.
It¡¯s just that although Zhang Yan¡¯s courage is good, his strength is too far apart to have much effect at all.
Xiahou Dun was attacked from both sides, but he was still at a disadvantage. On the contrary, the horse surpassed Zhan Yueyong, and he was still brave and unstoppable with one against two.
In less than ten rounds, Ma Chao feinted, and Zhang Yan failed to react in time, so he shot him in the chest.
"But Zhang Yan dared to charge forward, but he was actually prepared to die.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he immediately wrapped his arms around Ma Chao's dragon cavalry spear and entangled it.
"General, leave quickly!"
Zhang Yan vomited blood and tried to persuade Xiahou Dun to break out of the encirclement immediately, even at the expense of himself.
Xiahou Dun stared with one eye wide, tears welling up in his eyes when he saw Zhang Yan's tragic loyalty.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Yan urged again, using all his strength.
Xiahou Dun finally did not dare to hesitate any longer and quickly turned south to escape.
Ma Chao¡¯s weapon was tightly held by Zhang Yan and he could not break free.
Now seeing that Xiahou Dun was about to run away, he was furious.
I saw him yell loudly, lift Zhang Yan off the horse, and then throw him hard.
Zhang Yan, who had run out of oil and dried up his lamp, could no longer hold it, and was thrown directly to the ground, instantly losing his breath.
Ma Chao didn't care about his life or death and directly chased Xiahou Dun in the direction of his escape. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
