Three Kingdoms: I ran for my life all the way, but was forced to become the master of this world!

Chapter 145

There were only 3,000 defenders in Xincheng, and originally Zhao Jian and Zhu Ling outside the city only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, but Cao Zhen led 5,000 soldiers and horses to come to reinforce, which doubled the pressure on Ma Yan.

Fortunately, the new city was built according to the level of the county seat, tall and strong, and the defense equipment was sufficient.

However, for several days in a row, Cao Zhen, Zhao Jian, Zhu Ling and the other three took turns to lead their troops to attack the city, not giving Ma Chen any chance to breathe.

"General, the Cao army has dispatched another three thousand soldiers and horses!" Feng Xi, the commander of the thousand-year-old, looked at the soldiers pouring out of the Cao camp, full of worry.

In fact, in the past few days, the Cao army has sent 3,000 soldiers every day to attack the city. Only this time, there are only more than a thousand soldiers in the city who can fight.

"Three thousand soldiers, what are you afraid of!" Ma Chen's face was calm, "Soldiers, we have repelled several attacks by the Cao army, and this time we will still repel them!" Moreover, the lord's army will come soon!

"Victory!" Feng Xi waved the big knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

All the soldiers shouted, and all of a sudden, morale was boosted.

After the Cao army arrived at the city, he did not rush to attack, but adjusted the position of the thunderbolts and placed the arrow towers between several thunderbolts.

The soldiers at the head of the city were unprepared and not flustered. In fact, there is no need for any preparation, all the soldiers who can fight, all the equipment for defending the city, are here.

Ma Chen's face was full of determination, and so was Feng Xi.

"Siege!" Suddenly, Cao Zhen gave the order to attack the city.

The roar of the thunderbolt resounded, and the three thousand soldiers of the Cao army rushed to the city at the same time.

"Back off!" Ma Chen shouted, and all the soldiers immediately retreated to the soldiers. But stones still flew towards them, causing casualties.

The whistling stopped, and without Ma Chen and Feng Xi's order, the soldiers immediately arrived at the battlements of the city wall.

Cao Jun had already put the ladder at the head of the city and began to climb up.

Rolling wood thunder stones fell like a rainstorm, and countless Cao Jun rolled down the cloud ladder.

The crossbowmen shot at the soldiers on the arrow tower of the Cao army, causing many soldiers of the Cao army to fall from the arrow tower.

Although the city was protected by shieldmen, many soldiers were still shot down the city.

"General, they are advancing the thunderbolt car forward!" Feng Xi said loudly to Ma Chen.

Ma Chen nodded while shooting arrows. Now the thunderbolt stopped because of this distance, some stones would fall on the city wall. But after advancing some distance, you can launch stones with impunity.

There were fewer and fewer crossbowmen, completely suppressed by the opponent, and could not stop the advance of the thunderbolts under the city at all.

"General, let me lead three hundred soldiers out of the city and destroy their thunderbolts!" Feng Xi said loudly.

Feng Xi, a thousand-year-old soldier, fought bravely and was very brainy, and in recent times, he has become Ma Chen's right arm.

"No, Hu Yuan, we have too few people to destroy the Thunderbolt at all!" Ma Chen shook his head.

Although Feng Xi's method is very good, if he can lead a thousand soldiers out of the city, he may be able to achieve it. But three hundred people, simply impossible.

Feng Xi did not insist, indeed, three hundred people, just the guards around Cao Zhen, could completely block them. It was precisely because Cao Zhen knew this that he dared to bring the thunderbolt car closer.

The terrifying whistling sound sounded again.

"Shield! Shield! Ma Chen shouted.

This time you can't go back, you can only bite the bullet and block.

Although the shield hand erected a protective wall, the wooden shield immediately turned into pieces under the attack of the stone, and after a long time, the shield was gone.

The Cao army finally climbed to the head of the city, and the two sides fought a great battle.

The thunderbolts stopped, the crossbowmen were not firing arrows, and a scuffle began at the head of the city.

At this time, there were only more than 500 Han troops at the head of the city, all relying on the bravery of Ma Chen and Feng Xi to support the morale of the soldiers. Of course, there is also the power of the Han knife.

But as time passed, more and more Cao troops rushed to the head of the city.

Two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, seven hundred....

Under the city, Cao Zhen, Zhu Ling, and Zhao Jian had relaxed smiles on their faces.

"Boom..." Suddenly, a sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

"Cavalry!"

Whether it was Cao Zhen and the others under the city, or Ma Chen and Feng Xi at the head of the city, they were all taken aback.

Zhao Jian and Zhu Ling may not know, but Cao Zhen knows very well that the cavalry and the task of cavalry can appear here? You don't need cavalry to attack the new city!

Suspicious confusion to doubt, the fact is that the cavalry did appear, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and the whole earth began to tremble! And all the way to this side.

Is it really necessary to use cavalry to storm the city?

Cao Zhen under the city was just puzzled, but Ma Chen and Feng Xi at the head of the city were already desperate, because they knew that the cavalry's riding and shooting ability was much stronger than these crossbowmen, and the Han army at the head of the city was already at a disadvantage.

"Fight for the Lord, Mag Shroud, just today!"

Feng Xi cut down two Cao soldiers and roared loudly.

"Fight for the Lord!" Ma Chen also shouted, as if his strength had doubled, and the two Cao army commanders he had killed were defeated and retreated one after another.

"Fight for the Lord!" All the soldiers shouted.

The power of the Han knife and the battlefield of the Jingzhou soldiers were completely combined, and the unfavorable situation was reversed.

"Trapped beasts are still fighting!" Cao Zhen was very disdainful, "Those who rush to the head of the city, reward one hundred dollars!"

"General, they are Jingzhou cavalry!" Suddenly a soldier shouted in panic.

"What, Jingzhou cavalry?" Cao Zhen was shocked, when did cavalry also appear in Jingzhou?

But this is really not their cavalry.

The cavalry rushed into the formation of the Cao army in a blink of an eye, divided into two teams, Xia Houlan led a team, rushed to the city, one ladder after another was cut off, the Cao army soldiers fell down the city with a scream, and were stepped on by the galloping war horse into meat mud. And those soldiers who are still under the city, what happened before they reacted? The head flew into the sky, and the Cao army, who rushed to the head of the city, became a lone army.

The other team, led by Zhao Yun, rushed towards Cao Zhen.

"It's our surprise soldier!"

"Our reinforcements are coming!"

The Han soldiers at the head of the city also saw it clearly, and their morale was boosted at once.

"Kill all these Cao soldiers and avenge the soldiers who died in battle!"

Ma Chen and Feng Xi shouted while fighting, because no Cao army soldiers climbed to the head of the city, the momentum of victory and defeat had completely changed.

"General, retreat!" Zhao Jian urged the horse to come over and said loudly to Cao Zhen.

"Withdraw, retreat!" Cao Zhen woke up like a dream, he had also led the tiger and leopard cavalry, knowing that in the face of thousands of cavalry, these infantry had no strength to fight at all.

Although Zhao Yun's cavalry was only more than two thousand, there were four or five thousand war horses, as if a rolling torrent rushed over!

The soldiers of the Cao army suffered very heavy losses due to the siege of the city for several days, and there were only three or four thousand left, how to block the wolf-like Jingzhou iron horse, and immediately turned into a rout.

Cao Zhen, Zhao Jian, Zhu Ling and the other three, only their guards and some military simas, a total of seven or eight hundred people, escaped from the battlefield, and were also chased out by Zhao Yun for more than fifty miles.
