After Ma Chao learned that he had fallen into the trap, until now was the moment to test himself, he must not show any signs of panic.

Ma Chao's first thought was to ask his forage officer and his only think tank, Liao Li.

Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the soldiers: "Please quickly invite the grain and grass officer."

"yes."

After a while, Liao Li raised his tent and came in. Ma Chao immediately ordered all the soldiers to go out and help. Liao Li asked eagerly: "General, what do you think?"

Ma Chao truthfully told Liao Li the information collected by Pang De. Ma Chao asked Liao Li if he had any countermeasures.

Liao Li pondered for a long time and came up with two options. The first was to attack Lingling City forward, and the other was to attack Lingling Pass backward. No matter which one he attacked, he would face the danger of being attacked from both sides, and the second way was to attack Lingling Pass.

The probability of success is greater. Liao Li asked Ma Chao to choose the specific choice.

Ma Chao pondered for a long time and could not make a decision. He stood up alone, thought for a while and said: "Sir, I choose to attack Lingling City. My Ma family army can only die by advancing forward, never retreat to survive."

Liao Li looked at the hot-blooded and heroic general in front of him, and he also planned to devote his last light.

Liao Li cupped his hands and said: "General, since we have chosen to fight fiercely at Lingling City, I think our army will not only have a bloody battle tomorrow, but also a protracted battle of attrition. The soldiers may not be able to eat, and we don't have much food anyway.

, I suggest making a bag of fried rice for all the soldiers and hanging it on their waists. They must be hungry and can't hold on, so they can just eat the fried rice and continue fighting."

Ma Chao looked at the grain and grass officer and kept shouting: "Okay."

At this time, Ma Chao looked at the grain and grass officer in front of him, and he could see that this grain and grass officer was no longer a pure grain and grass officer, but the think tank of his Ma Jiajun.

In this way, they all arrived at the day of the next day's attack.

The next day, in the early morning, the loud and exciting cowhide charging horn soared into the sky. The horn made a "woo...woo...woo" sound, which was distant and desolate.

The Xiliang cavalry began to gather at the foot of Lingling City. They began to run from the gate of Dazhai one after another, then spurred their horses and whipped their horses, and then continued to ride fast. The ground rose, and the sky was filled with countless wolf smoke...

………

First there was the sound of horns, then the roar of soldiers, and finally the sound of galloping horses, and then these three sounds were mixed together.

Fengyun's cavalry was like rolling up a hurricane on the earth, like a tsunami, like a landslide, like a mountain torrent, overwhelming, overwhelming, and the whole earth began to shake, then vibrate, and then beat.

Chen Zhen and Xing Daorong, who were standing on the top of the city, were both puzzled. Could it be that Ma Chao had to use cavalry to attack the city directly? But how could a simple cavalry attack such a strong city defense? Can they do it?...

A series of questions kept running through their minds.

Just when they were puzzled, they saw the cavalry suddenly stopped advancing. The cavalry was divided into ten thousand-man formations and dispersed on both sides. Finally, in the middle appeared the giant siege vehicle, the ladder, and the battering ram that hit the city gate.

The infantry also formed a square formation for every thousand people. Ma Chao came astride his horse, flanked by two brothers, Ma Dai and Ma Xiu.

Ma Chao ordered: "Insert three thousand troops for the first attack, and I will attack the enemy's city head directly."

"Yes, brother."

Ma Dai gently waved the military flag and signaled to the soldiers in front.

Pang De, who had just been promoted to deputy general, saw Ma Dai's flag and immediately ordered three square formations to attack Lingling City at the same time.

The infantrymen in the three square formations began to speed up and trot, and they were covered by layers of shields.

The soldiers on the siege ladder also began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, preparing everything.

I saw Xing Daorong ordering: "Brothers, kill them."

Suddenly rows of bows and arrows shot past.

A shower of arrows fell, hitting the siege vehicles and making a "kick-kick" sound, and hitting the shields and making a "swinging" sound. Despite the defense of the shield, some people were still hit and shot.

Blood sprayed directly along the arrow shaft, and in order to maintain the seal of the team, the soldiers behind had to bypass him and directly fill it up, leaving him alone there groaning, struggling, and suffering until death.

After a burst of arrows rained on the city, the archers hidden behind the shields also fired fiercely at the city head. For the unprepared soldiers at the city head, the death toll would have been even greater. If it weren't for

The soldiers below were shooting from above, and more soldiers died on top of the city.

After only two rounds of volleys, the Wancheng soldiers got the ladder and drove to the city wall. They came directly with the siege vehicles. The Wancheng soldiers ran directly to the top of Lingling City as if they were walking.

On the way to the reunion, the Wancheng soldiers had to face an ambush from the Jingzhou soldiers' archers. When they rushed to the city wall, they faced a spear that was about two battles long.

"pu"

A soldier had not yet reached the Lingling city wall. He looked at the sharp blade at his waist. Although he held a long knife in his hand, it was obviously unable to reach him. The blood flowed directly from the corner of his mouth. He still thought it was possible to use the knife.

His strength was gone, and then he screamed, fell down the wall, and could not get up again. But the second soldier continued to charge and scream...

Ma Dai looked at the brutal situation above the city and asked, "Brother, are we really going to fight like this?"

Ma Chao looked back at his brother and sighed helplessly: "Hit me."

Ma Chao did not tell anyone about the army rations or the situation of being attacked from two sides, because if one less person knew about it, there would be less danger.

The ladders were constantly burned, and soldiers kept falling down the city. The archers on the siege vehicles were firing arrows desperately, just to reduce the pressure on the siege soldiers. The ruthless arrows drew dazzling arcs in the air.
