Chapter 231 Heavy Rain and Haze

"Quick, hurry!" In Xiliang City, the largest and prosperous city in Liangzhou, another confinement order was issued today.

It is noon now, but the sky is covered with a vast and boundless cloud, which has shrouded infinite haze on the battlefield that has already fought for nearly the month. Outside this city where corpses are covered, there is a feeling of gloom and blood that makes people feel a bit terrifying. Now, when it comes to this pressure before the heavy rain, many soldiers are worried about the upcoming battle.

Xiliang City was like a huge war machine being started. The infantry guarding the city stood on the tall city walls. The city walls here were ten meters high and were the strongest fortress in Liangzhou. Under the generations of the Ma family, the city walls on all sides were indestructible. Even if the rebels had stone throwing machines, this rough and simple human siege weapon caused very little damage to the city walls and the Xiliang army.

On the city wall, the outer part was deploying defenses under the orderly arrangement of military advisor Cheng Gongying to prepare for the rebels' attack on the new day. Inside the city, Ma Teng personally mobilized elite troops of the Ma family army, and his son Ma Chao was also in the formation. Today he planned to break through from the side where the rebels had the least strength.

Others of the Ma clan also wore armor and went into the formation. Xiliang City, as the base of the Ma clan, has settled in Xiliang City. Now that it is time for such a survival and demise, they have led their troops to the top of the city.

As an important century-old family force in Liangzhou, the Ma family had a profound influence. From the ancestors following Liu Bang uprising against Qin, to the reunification of the reunification, they were promoted to titles. Later, when the family wanted to lose their family, a great hero appeared in the clan - General Fubo Ma Yuan, and Ma Yuan was the ancestor of the Ma Teng lineage. Because of this, under the erosion of a century of time, the Ma family gradually developed in Liangzhou. Not only did they not become degenerate and decline like other famous clans, but they did not forget the loyalty of their ancestors and the general prosperity of the family. In dealing with foreign tribes, the Ma family took the lead in intermarrying with Qiang women among famous clans, which gave a good start to marry the Han and Qiang tribes, so it included the West.

In the Chengxian counties under the rule of the Ma family, including Liangcheng, they often live in Han and Qiang. Although the Ma family married women with noble status or beautiful nationality among the Qiang people. In terms of their attitude towards the court, the Ma family was always respectful. Otherwise, when Dong Zhuo went to Beijing to threaten the emperor, Ma Teng would not have colluded with Han Sui to rebel. The Ma family was also very considerate of the people. In the years of disaster, they often asked the court to reduce taxes, and even paid money to help the people themselves, which was also the reason why they were very popular with the people. Of course, after a hundred years of reproduction, the Ma family had a population of thousands, and there were also some scum among them, just like Ma Wan during the last rebellion.

On the streets of Xiliangcheng, where there are no people, shops are closed one after another, and the doors in the houses are closed. Are there hundreds of thousands of troops passing by on the street? There are also the security team of the Ma family patrolling the city to prevent riots in the city, etc.

On the north wall, a young man who had just become a recruit a few days ago, after several days of training, holding weapons, Zhan Zhan looked at the dark queue in the distance in his eyes. He was the rebels preparing to attack the city. He originally boasted in front of his comrades-in-arms in front of his recruits at the same time that he was so strong that he was not afraid of alien races, but now he was frightened by the dull atmosphere and bloody environment at this time and his legs were trembling, and he accidentally kicked a small stone from nowhere off the top of the city.

Now the siege has reached tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield, so no soldiers would notice this scene in the tense atmosphere. The round little stone flew down along the ten-meter high wall. The huge impact force prevented it from stopping and continued to roll to the gate of the rebel camp before surging. At this time, from the perspective of the stone, countless "giants" were running out of their respective camps, lined up in the schoolyard, and siege weapons were also pushed out and ready. The battle was about to break out.

"Father! It's raining!" Ma Chao came to the small courtyard next to the military camp. One of them was holding a meeting with other deputy generals and Ma family generals to discuss the breakthrough.

"Oh? The rain also has a certain impact on our cavalry breakout. Deputy General Wang, you can distribute all the stock hats and straw raincoats, and make sure to keep the soldiers in the best state." The plan for breakout was that Ma Teng had been planning for several days, and it would not be stopped because of a heavy rain. Deputy General Wang nodded and quickly went to prepare in the rain.

"Meng Qi, you're here just right, look..." Ma Teng was about to ask someone to call his son, but unexpectedly, he happened to ask Ma Chao to come forward and hand over the task to him...

At the same time, it gradually started to rain in the sky, and looking at the dark clouds that seemed to connect the world, the rain would not stop for a while. Cheng Gongying, dressed in military uniform on the top of the city, governing the defense of the four walls, did not recommend that heavy rain wet him. Cheng Gongying was born in Liangzhou, where the people were martial. Unlike ordinary civil officials, he could be considered both civil and military. He was strong and naturally would not be ill in bed by a heavy rain. Cheng Gongying was worried at this time how many passionate men would lose their lives on the battlefield today.

Compared to Cheng Gongying's heart full of sorrow, Beigong Yuling in the camp opposite was in a good mood. Although his younger brother and Niu Fu's army were defeated, it was just a drop in the ocean among his tens of thousands of troops. Now his younger brother personally brought 20,000 troops to defend the reinforcements of the Han army. Niu Fu led a part of the army to attack the city in response to him. More than 20,000 friendly troops who were causing chaos nearby also returned, and more than 50,000 people rushed back one after another. In his eyes, Xiliang City must be the thing in his pocket. He felt that after the capture, he must wash Xiliang City bloodily, so that the Han people could clearly recognize the Qiang people, or the terror of Beigong Yuling.

Beigong Yu is not tall, and in modern times he is only about 1.6 meters tall. This is what he hates most. When someone was accused of gag behind his back, he immediately ordered the killing of the man's family and tribe. Almost all the cruel killing methods were used, leaving Beigong Yuling's subordinates at risk. Since then, everyone has kept silent about Beigong Yuling's height problem.

At this time, Beigong Yuling held up a large umbrella on the left and right to block the heavy rain for Beigong Yuling. In front of Beigong Yuling, tens of thousands of troops gradually gathered, and dozens of Han and Qiang generals lined up behind him. Beigong Yuling felt the majestic army, thinking that these people were their subordinates, a sense of pride could not help but surge in his heart.
