After daybreak, Ma Chao's army finally set off from Qinting and rushed towards Long County.
And Zhang He¡¯s army once again came to Long County from its garrison.
The two armies were attacking from the left and right, and unexpectedly met at the bottom of the city at the same time.
When Zhang He saw the approaching army, he was worried about Cao Jun's reinforcements, so he immediately stopped the attack and sent people to investigate.
At this glance, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the people coming turned out to be Ma Chao's army.
"General Meng Qi, I didn't expect you to be here!" Zhang He said with excitement.
"Liu Bei and Xia Houyuan's armies invaded Chencang. Your Majesty went south to retreat from the enemy and decided to deal with the threat in Liangzhou first.
And then free up your hands to fight against Liu Bei wholeheartedly. And this time, I was sent to march from Longguan to cooperate with the general to repel the enemy! "
Hearing this, Zhang He couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty's foresight is beyond my reach.
Now that the two armies are about to join together, let¡¯s deal with Cao Ren in Long County first, and then go south to attack Xiahou Yuan immediately! "
Hearing this, Ma Chao smiled and nodded: "What General Junyi said is exactly what I want!"
After the two sides completed the meeting, they immediately started attacking from two directions.
Cao Ren had anticipated the fierceness of the opponent's attack, but he did not expect that the opponent would use all his strength as soon as he came up.
Because the other party wants to deal with Cao Ren as soon as possible before they can use their hands to repel Xia Houyuan.
Naturally, the stalemate could not continue for a long time. The army launched a unified attack, and Cao Ren's army instantly fell into a bitter battle.
Even though Cao Ren was good at defense, he gradually showed his weakness in the face of powerful attacks several times his own.
Therefore, Cao Ren mobilized all the power in his hands, and even under his temptation, the other party except the residents of Long County wanted to invade.
In order to defend their homeland, they were also inspired by Cao Ren and rushed to the city to guard.
The siege continued for a whole day from morning to night, and Ma Chao and Zhang He finally retreated their troops.
Although no substantial breakthrough was achieved today, it still caused great damage to Cao's army in the city.
What¡¯s more important is that it has greatly shocked their spirits.
Therefore, Ma Chao believes that Long County will be defeated within three days!
And this was because Ma Chao and Zhang He marched in a hurry this time, and neither of them had prepared siege equipment.
If there is a huge stone cannon with incredible power, Ma Chao is even confident that he can break the city.
But taking three days to conquer a city is actually very fast.
Moreover, there are only two major resistance forces in Hanyang County, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan.
Therefore, Ma Chao believed that as long as Cao Ren was defeated, Xiahou Yuan's destruction would be certain.
After these two armies are defeated, the entire Hanyang and Wudu counties will be invincible, and no one will dare to resist anymore.
Therefore, this war was not only to capture Long County, but also to scare other counties.
At dawn the next day, the siege began again.
This time Ma Chao and Zhang He launched an even more aggressive offensive than yesterday. The defenders immediately felt greater pressure, and the casualties naturally increased.
With such tragic casualties, even Cao Ren could not sit still.
All generals, even the Chinese positions, were pulled up to the city's defense by Cao Ren.
Cao Ren even went directly to the east city and personally directed the offensive to defend Ma Chao's army.
And generals such as Cao Tai and Gao Qian were sent to the west city to defend Zhang He's attack.
I saw Cao Ren constantly wandering on the city wall. Wherever he was in trouble, he immediately rushed to that side to support him.
Under his leadership, the morale of the soldiers defending the city has improved.
Finally, they repelled the attack of Ma Chao's army again and drove down all the enemy troops who had climbed onto the city wall.
"However, Ma Chao's army is brave and good at fighting and has a large number of people.
Even though the defenders have been repulsed many times, they still cannot prevent more troops from attacking.
On the other hand, the defenders were gradually falling into exhaustion, and every one of them was even more stained, and almost no one was intact.
Even Cao Ren himself, when he was commanding the enemy to retreat, was injured by a stray arrow and shot in the arm.
Even so, Cao Ren was still slightly injured and could not get out of the firing line. He simply bandaged up and continued to hold on to the city wall.
His spirit also led all the defenders to share the same hatred and persevered again.
It was equally tragic at the west city gate. Gao Qian was shot in the chest by an arrow. Fortunately, his men fought to the death to save him.
Cao Tai was also stabbed several times in a hand-to-hand fight and was covered in blood.
However, with Cao Jun¡¯s desperate persistence, he finally managed to survive another day, and finally died down again in the evening.
However, Cao Ren's tent was filled with a feeling of despair.
After two days of fighting, one-third of the defenders had been lost, and the rest were all injured and exhausted.
The men even started to complain.
"Wang Canjun went out to call for reinforcements, why didn't he return for a long time? Could it be that he saw that the enemy army was strong and had already escaped on his own?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" People who had a good relationship with Wang Canjun immediately yelled: "Wang Canjun is a benevolent and righteous person, how can you slander him?
"Don't judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" "
"Humph, I'm just guessing, why are you so angry? Could it be that you were hit on something that hurts you?
When you were defending the city today, the area you were responsible for was repeatedly breached by the enemy. Maybe you have reached some kind of ulterior secret with the enemy! "
The man still fought back unceremoniously.
"How dare you, common man?" The other party was so angry that he was about to draw his sword, and the others quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
But as a result, everyone said something, and the big tent instantly fell into a quarrel.
In fact, it is not that everyone is not united, but that the situation at this moment inevitably makes people feel despair.
At this time, a spark will instantly detonate this powder keg that is about to explode at any time.
¡°That¡¯s unreasonable!¡±
Suddenly a loud noise resounded through the tent, instantly silencing everyone's voices.
Everyone subconsciously looked over there, and saw Cao Ren in the main seat furious, and even slapped the tables in front of them with one palm.
The general was so furious that no one dared to make a sound anymore, and there was silence in the tent.
Cao Ren glanced at everyone angrily, frightening those people to quickly lower their heads to avoid Cao Ren's gaze, not daring to look directly at them.
At this time, Cao Rencai finally shouted angrily: "When we encounter a little difficulty, we start criticizing each other. How can we achieve great things like this?
At this moment, all generals should support each other and unite to face the enemy. I believe in Wang Canjun's character and reinforcements will arrive tomorrow.
??Everyone, go back and rest early. Wait for the reinforcements to arrive tomorrow, attack from the front and back, and defeat the enemy together!
If anyone attacks another comrade, he will be killed without mercy! "
The stern voice instantly frightened everyone.
Although Cao Ren is usually generous and considerate of his subordinates.
But during the war, his laws are strict, and anyone who dares to violate them will pay an unforgettable price. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
