After Ma Chao received the order, he led 3,000 elite soldiers to sneak into the city along the tunnel. During the whole process, Ma Chao was extremely careful. In order to prevent the armor from colliding and making sounds, Ma Chao ordered his soldiers to take off the armor on his body. Everyone wrapped their shoes with cloth, and no sound was made during the whole process.

You should know that there were only three thousand people who sneaked in. If each person made a slight sound, it would be easy to alarm the defenders in the city. Fortunately, Cao's army was not alarmed until all the soldiers arrived inside the granary.

Firstly, it was because Ma Chao was really cautious in the process of infiltrating, and secondly, it was because Cao's army who was responsible for guarding the granary were all recruits, and their experience was really lacking. Not to mention that Ma Chao did not make any sounds during the whole process, even if Ma Chao made some sounds, they were afraid they would think it was a mouse, a cat, or a cat to catch a mouse.

Because Ma Teng came to attack, all the veterans in Wuwei County had already been on the city wall, and the granary was in the city. Cao Hong believed that as long as Wuwei City was not broken, the granary would not be in danger. Therefore, there were not many troops left behind in the granary, and they were all new recruits.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

At this time, a sound of horse hooves sounded, and tens of thousands of black-armored iron cavalry came from afar and appeared outside Wuwei City.

"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks."

"Go up the city wall, go up the city wall." At this time, the veterans on the city wall shouted loudly, greeting the soldiers carrying wooden and rocks under the city.

Under the city, there are more than 20,000 cavalry and nearly 30,000 infantry, which are almost all the soldiers and horses of Ma Teng's headquarters. Although Liangzhou is large, it is not suitable for farming and has a sparse population. It is already very difficult for Ma Teng to raise 50,000 soldiers and horses.

In order to win Wuwei County, Ma Teng was able to say that he had made a fortune. Wuwei County is very important to Ma Teng. Only after Ma Teng took Wuwei County could he mobilize more troops and find more alliances in Liangzhou.

The situation in Liangzhou is very complicated, not just Ma Teng, a warlord. Han Sui and Beigong Boyu each have 20,000 or 30,000 people, but these two people are both masters who do not show off their eagles. Before they see hope of entering the Central Plains, they will never obey Ma Teng's command. Therefore, there is only one way in front of Ma Teng, which is to take down Wuwei County.

Only after he took over Wuwei County, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu would hand over their troops to him to command. The troops of Ma Teng, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu gathered together. This was a full 100,000 cavalry with 100,000 cavalry in hand, Ma Teng also had the capital to enter the Central Plains.

There are many reasons here, which makes Ma Teng unable to defeat, and Ma Teng dare not defeat. If he loses once, he can be said to have lost all the game. If he wins, he will enter the Central Plains. If he loses, he will only stay in Liangzhou for the rest of his life. The battle of Wuwei is crucial to Ma Teng.

"Siege."

When the army arrived at the city, there was no rest for a moment. Ma Teng waved his hand and the 30,000 infantry shouted at the top of his lungs, holding the ladder, pushing various siege equipment towards Wuwei County.

Normally, warlords on the grassland like Ma Teng would not train infantry, nor would they specifically build siege equipment. But now it seems that Ma Teng not only has 30,000 infantry, but also has a complete range of siege equipment. This shows how long Ma Teng has prepared for this battle.

Not only is there a lack of iron on the grassland, but there is even little wood. You must know that grass grows on the grassland, but it does not grow wood. In Liangzhou, which lacks iron and wood, so many siege equipment have been made, it can be said that Ma Teng has invested a lot of money.

Ma Teng waved his hand and the soldiers rushed towards the city wall. On both sides of the infantry were the most elite rangers under Ma Teng. These rangers were all Hu archers, and their archery skills were far superior to Han archers.

The Hu people were good at riding and shooting, and for them, they were like walking on flat ground. They laid bows and arrows on the city wall on the horse's back, and in a moment they saw Cao's army falling down on the city wall.

On the city wall, Cao's archers also fought back at Ma Teng's cavalry. Although Cao's archers were condescending from the terrain, Ma Teng's cavalry were all rangers. In the idea of ​​avoiding the horse's mobility, Cao's archers did not hurt Ma Teng's ranger at all.

"Don't shoot cavalry, shoot infantry."

"Cabinets have horses, infantry have no horses, infantry can easily shoot, and they can shoot infantry quickly." Cao Hong's order conveyed.

Since the past few rounds of arrow rain were all heading for the cavalry, without the suppression of archers, Ma Teng's infantry had already put the ladder on the city wall. These soldiers had taken this opportunity to climb the ladder and were climbing towards the city wall towards the ladder.

"Shoot, shoot quickly." Cao Hong was shocked when he looked at the densely packed enemy infantry on the ladder. Fortunately, the reaction was quite timely. If he was delaying, he was afraid that these infantry had already climbed up the city wall.

"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh!"

With a command from Cao Hong, a rain of arrows shot towards the infantry on the ladder. Many soldiers were caught in arrows and fell from the ladder with screams, as if they were dumplings.

For a moment, I saw that the city of Wuwei seemed to have become a meat grinder, with arrows everywhere, corpses everywhere, and blood everywhere.

Although Ma Teng dispatched 30,000 infantry, there were more than 10,000 Cao troops on the top of the city. As the saying goes, three times surround them and ten times surround them. If you want to attack Wuwei County, although you don’t need a 100,000 army, only 30,000 infantry is not enough in any case.

Looking at the battlefield that was deadlocked, Ma Teng knew that he had to win no matter what. Cao Cao failed and just lost a Wuwei County, but if he failed, he would completely lose the opportunity to enter the Central Plains.

Looking at the battlefield not far ahead, Ma Teng gritted his teeth and shouted cruelly: "The cavalry turned into infantry, except for the rangers, all the rest of the troops participated in the siege."

Ma Teng ordered this, which means that except for the archers and cavalry, the rest of the cavalry were all dismounted and used as infantry. You should know that the cost of training a cavalry is much greater than that of training an infantry.

Now Ma Teng uses infantry as cavalry, which shows that Ma Teng has invested a lot in order to capture Wuwei County.

For a moment, Ma Teng almost invested another 20,000 troops. Suddenly, all the siege equipment that could be used, Ma Teng had used all the available siege equipment.

In the past, Ma Teng's 50,000 troops had been put into use, including these siege equipment, which were also Ma Teng's treasures.
