Chapter 70 Wang Shuang arrives
Hao Zhao could not prevent the Shu army's actions. If the opponent really wanted to slowly grind like this, Chen Cang would be beaten to pieces sooner or later.
Theoretically, Hao Zhao could suddenly attack out of the city at night and burn Ma Su's siege vehicle with a fire. But after experiencing a major defeat, Hao Zhao no longer had enough troops to leave the city for a night attack.
The last time the Shu army almost invaded the city, this time Chen Cang was really lost after he failed. By then, no matter how famous he was before, he would be scolded by his superiors.
So the most important thing to do now is to ask General Guo Huai for help.
Hao Zhao immediately called his soldiers, quickly wrote a letter asking for help with bamboo slips, and sent dozens of messengers to Yong County to ask for help. Among them, Hao Zhao was very serious, saying that if reinforcements were not sent as soon as possible, Chencang City would lose its strategic significance within a few months.
The letter asking for help was sent out, and Hao Zhao also began to prepare the second plan. If Guo Huai refuses to support, he will have no choice but to build another city wall inside the old city wall outside.
This can effectively prevent the Shu army's catapults, but the purpose of the city wall is also greatly weakened. The most important thing is that the already complaining and overworked soldiers have to bear an additional burden.
Thanks to Ma Su's continuous loudspeaker to smear Hao Zhao, he basically put Hao Zhao on the fire. All the Wei soldiers in the city were looking at Hao Zhao, waiting for him to take action and beat the Shu army violently.
As a result, as soon as they left the city, one of them was killed by the Shu army and returned in great defeat, and basically all two thousand people were buried in it. Now the soldiers who had no objections to Hao Zhao began to complain a little, and Hao Zhao could no longer dispatch tasks without hesitation as before.
In just over half a month, Hao Zhao never expected that he would be forced into this by the bastard outside. Thinking of this, Hao Zhao felt angry in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
It’s so frustrating. From now on, I will do whoever I want to do this city defense task. I never want to see Ma Su’s face again.

Hao Zhao's request for help was sent to Guo Huai, and Guo Huai was shocked after reading it.
Guo Huai, as "strategist and advisor to Qin Yong," knew this very well. This man has been fighting with the Hu-Han Alliance in the Northwest for many years, and he is an absolute famous general in the Northwest.
In terms of defending the city, there may not be anyone in the entire Cao Wei who can compare with it. As a result, such a famous general was so crowded by Ma Su that he needed help in less than half a month?
Isn't it said that this Ma Su is just a talented man in martial arts? Why is his military strategy so ruthless?
"Master Fu, what should we do? According to this letter, General Bo Dao may not be able to hold on any longer." Guo Huai's generals were a little anxious and asked Guo Huai for instructions.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I have to ask for reinforcements." Guo Huai shook his head helplessly, saying that he had nothing to do about it.
Since the loss of Longyou, Guo Huai's jurisdiction has been reduced by more than half. Without Longyou, Guo Huai's troops in Xiazhou were much reduced, with only more than 20,000 soldiers.
With so few people to defend Yongzhou, he was already thinking about military garrison these days. Now Hao Zhao asked him to support him, and at least five thousand soldiers and horses, how could he get it?
Come on, you still have to ask Cao Zhen for someone.
The request for help was sent to Chang'an and showed to Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen also expressed extreme shock and immediately dispatched 7,000 elite troops to Chencang for support.
Regarding this decision, Guo Huai could only smile on the surface and be embarrassed behind his back.
With this support, Chen Cang only has 10,000 people, and Yongzhou supplies everything for people to eat and chew every day. He was already poor, but now he had to be destitute.
When Cao Zhen's reinforcements arrived in Chencang, Hao Zhao was already overwhelmed. While Ma Su was leading his troops to continuously attack the city, he also continued to write small essays to smear him.
While quoting scriptures to yin and yang him, he also used the failure of the night attack to explain the story. The plot is so complicated that it almost fills a novel.
Fortunately, Cao Zhen's reinforcements successfully arrived in Chencang within half a month. As for Ma Di, Wei Jun discovered him from a long way away, and without saying a word, he turned around and ran away with his troops.
When running away, they didn't forget to dismantle the catapult and take it away. When the Wei army arrived, they didn't get a single part, but they captured a lot of horse dung.
"General Bo Dao, I'm Wang Shuang, I'm here to support you on the order of the general." Wang Shuanggong cupped his hands and said calmly to Hao Zhao.
"General Wang, you arrived just in time. If you had arrived two days later, Chencang City probably wouldn't have been repaired." Hao Zhao smiled bitterly, pointing at the cratered Chencang City and said helplessly.
"That Ma Su has no martial ethics and no gentlemanly manners. He acts like a gangster on the battlefield. If you hadn't arrived in time, this warehouse would have been destroyed by him."
The most important thing is that Ma Su ran against him, and his troops suffered heavy losses. His prestige has been lost too much these days. If Ma Su allowed him to run against him for a few more days, he might not have the shame to continue to hang out in the northwest.
Wang Shuang raised his head and glanced at Chen Cang's current situation, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"It's really serious..."
"Fortunately, General Wang is here. Now Ma Su should not dare to act recklessly." Hao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. With the addition of Wang Shuang, Chencang's garrison numbered 10,000.
With Ma Su's strength, he could only flee when faced with them, and he would definitely not dare to demolish the city wall again.
With so much manpower, Hao Zhao is confident that he can build Chencang in just three months.
I already have so many troops in Chen Cang, can Hsiuma Su be able to overturn the world?

What Hao Zhao said was correct. After Ma Di withdrew into Longdao, he sent scouts to investigate again. When he learned that 7,000 Wei troops had stationed in Chencang and guarded it with Hao Zhao, Shu Ji and Meng Guo were very depressed.
"General, this group of Wei thieves show no respect for martial arts. Five thousand people guarding the high city cannot defeat us, but they directly called for reinforcements!" Meng Guo was very angry and felt that the other party was very shameless.
"That's right, either let's fight in an upright manner, or continue to hide. What's the point of calling for reinforcements!" Shu Ji was also very angry, pointing at Chen Cang and yelling.
Of course, most of them were frustrated. After all, there were reinforcements calling from the opposite side, but they didn't. The three thousand Qiang and Hu tribe under Ma Su can basically pull out everyone who is good at riding on horseback.
If you want more, you will have to kill other Qiang people to increase the source of troops.
If they have enough national strength, they can definitely bring more cavalry to fight the Wei army. But they did not, and could only watch Chencang Wei army increase its troops on a large scale.
The Han Dynasty is still weak, and many times the opponent has more choices than our own.
But obviously, Ma Su didn't intend to stop just like that, and waved his hand and said decisively.
"It's okay. If I, Ma Su, can be blocked by this difficulty, what kind of gentleman would I be?"
Listen to me, let's bypass Chen Cang and go behind their backs! "
