Chapter 441 Ma Chao became bald, and Pang De smuggled himself across Pubanjin.
Ten miles outside Chencang City
The Kansai Allied Forces established their main camp here.
Lu Bu looked unhappy.
Among the feudal lords who came to the alliance meeting, besides the Han people, there were even a few Qiang and Di peoples!
This was something that Lü Bu found hard to accept.
Let's be realistic and not engage in unfounded criticism.
Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu, and Gongsun Zan—all three were, without exception, iron-willed Han generals who were responsible for fighting against foreign tribes in their youth!
If it weren't for the thought of defeating Cao Cao, Lü Bu would have loved to get up and chop those foreign warlords to pieces right now.
Ma Chao, on the other hand, was having the most fun chatting with several Qiang and Di lords.
We are all the same kind of people, comrades-in-arms, so it's natural to be happy to be together.
"Gentlemen, quiet, quiet."
Han Sui cleared his throat.
The Han Chinese vassal states quickly stopped making noise.
The Qiang and Di vassal lords continued their conversation, oblivious to their own surroundings.
They only obeyed when Ma Chao told them to stop.
Yes, these Qiang and Di lords joined the coalition entirely out of respect for Ma Chao.
of course.
Ma Chao actually had more influence than people imagined.
In the eyes of the Qiang and Di people, he was a divine and mighty general, a god of Liangzhou!
It is the glory of the Qiang and Di people!
But Ma Chao had a bigger plan.
For this alliance meeting, he only summoned a few Qiang and Di vassal lords.
Ma Chao did not summon most of the Qiang and Di leaders.
He wanted to preserve his strength so he could annex Liangzhou!
At this moment, Han Sui also noticed that several Qiang and Di vassal lords were completely obedient to Ma Chao.
But Han Sui didn't think much of it.
Ma Teng has been defeated by Ma Chao and is currently serving as a guest general under Han Sui, remaining out of sight.
Most of the Han Chinese warlords in Liangzhou respected Han Sui more than Ma Chao.
and so.
The Qiang and Di vassal lords could do whatever they wanted, but they couldn't make a ripple.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Han Sui spoke:
"Chencang is just ten miles away."
"The Cao army general stationed at Chencang was named Hao Zhao."
"This fellow previously defended Bingzhou against the siege of the Southern Xiongnu army, and nearly two months later, the city still had not fallen."
"In other words, Hao Zhao is known for his skill in defense."
"Chencang has a narrow terrain and is a strategic location that military strategists must contend for."
"If we do not capture Chencang, our retreat may be cut off by Cao Cao's army at any time."
"Therefore, I believe that the first step in this battle is to capture Chencang!"
"Do you have any opinions?"
The dozen or so Han Chinese princes of Liangzhou all followed Han Sui's lead.
Several Qiang and Di lords awaited Ma Chao's orders.
Seeing that Ma Chao did not object, he simply chose to support Han Sui's proposal as well.
suddenly.
Lu Bu spoke:
"Hao Zhao is a talented person."
"This general would like to try to recruit Hao Zhao."
Ma Chao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He deeply despised Lü Bu's indecisiveness!
What kind of skill is it to kill your adoptive father?
Killing one's own father, that's something else...
Lu Bu glanced back at Ma Chao, and only then did Ma Chao restrain himself.
"Since it was General Lü who said it, we naturally have no objection."
Han Sui also decided to give Lü Bu some face.
The Kansai Coalition was initiated by Lü Bu, and his strength was needed in the subsequent wars.
Giving face to Lü Bu is a very worthwhile deal.
Chen Gong sighed.
He knew that the reason Lü Bu wanted to try to recruit Hao Zhao was mainly because he had heard about Hao Zhao's achievements in fighting against the Southern Xiongnu.
Lu Bu couldn't bear to let such a person die.
but.
The success rate of recruiting Hao Zhao is also infinitely close to zero.
Since Hao Zhao dared to come to Chencang, he had no intention of surrendering to them.
……
"Heh, trying to recruit me?"
In front of the five thousand soldiers of Chencang, Hao Zhao tore up the letter sent by Lü Bu.
Then, he said to the soldiers behind him:
"I, Hao Zhao, hereby swear an oath today."
"My life is inextricably linked to Chencang's honor and disgrace!"
"Even if ten thousand enemy troops come before us, we will make them break their spears here!!!"
Hao Zhao's cloak fluttered in the wind.
This was accompanied by Hao Zhao's rejection.
The Battle of Chencang has officially begun.
To entertain the Kansai Allied Army that had come from afar, Hao Zhao used catapults to launch a large number of Lao Ba's secret recipe mini hamburgers outside the city!
Because the mini hamburger was too powerful, the soldiers of Chencang wrapped it in small burlap sacks beforehand.
Ma Chao, thinking it was some kind of hidden weapon, stylishly used his Tiger Head Golden Spear to pierce one of the small sacks.
In an instant, he was soaked to the bone, sprayed all over Ma Chao!
Ma Dai, standing behind Ma Chao, was nearly fainted from the fumes.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"Damn Hao Zhao! This general will kill you!"
Ma Chao's defenses have been breached.
He started off strong, but his performance was a complete disaster.
Including her long hair, I guess she can't keep it either.
Upon seeing this, Lü Bu laughed.
He did not participate in the siege.
It's not time for him to make his appearance yet, as it's not the time for a decisive battle with Cao Cao's army.
Besides Lao Ba's secret recipe mini burgers.
Logs and boulders—none of them could be omitted.
The defending soldiers carried various defensive equipment in an orderly manner, dealing a heavy blow to the Kansai Allied Forces!
Hao Zhao remained calm and composed.
Not far from Hao Zhao stood a man holding a meteor hammer.
This person's name is Wang Shuang.
suddenly.
Wang Shuang threw his meteor hammer in the direction of Hao Zhao.
A chill ran down Hao Zhao's spine.
Turning his head, he saw a meteor hammer strike a fearless Allied soldier who had secretly climbed up the city wall.
This soldier was just about to ambush Hao Zhao.
"Thanks, Lao Wang. I'll treat you to a drink if I keep this up."
Hao Zhao cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Wang Shuang.
Wang Shuang flashed a set of white teeth:
"If you can't hold the line, I'll cover your retreat!"
After saying this, Wang Shuang threw himself back into the war.
His martial arts skills are quite good.
As long as he doesn't encounter Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Yan Xing, and Pang De, Wang Shuang is invincible.
As for that damn Ma Dai, his martial arts skills are only second-rate or below.
Their output relies entirely on deception and surprise attacks.
The sun sets.
The day's battle of attack and defense has ended.
Although the enemy had nearly 200,000 troops, they could not do anything to Chencang.
Hao Zhaowang Shuang also became an insurmountable chasm for the 200,000-strong Kansai Allied Army.
For ten consecutive days, the Kansai Allied Forces still had not made any breakthroughs.
Realizing that things would eventually end if things continued this way, Han Sui decided to change his strategy.
Having cut his long hair and become almost bald, Ma Chao suggested to Han Sui:
"Uncle Han, besides Chencang, there are several other roads that can also be used to open up Chang'an."
Why not divide the forces and proceed separately?
Han Sui laughed and said:
"Meng Qi, you make it sound so easy."
"Xiahou Yuan is stationed in Chang'an, holding the main force in his hands. He will provide support wherever the enemy is weak."
"Could it be that there are places he can't provide support to?"
Ma Chao smiled slightly:
"It really does."
After saying that, Ma Chao clapped his hands.
Pound entered with a solemn expression and a large sword on his shoulder.
He put down his broadsword and pointed to the direction of Pubanjin on the map, saying:
"By taking the Wei River waterway, we can reach the city of Chang'an directly!"
