Three Kingdoms New Malaysia Super League

Chapter 193 Fighting is not that simple

"Damn, come here once and leave without fighting a battle. I really can't afford to lose this man. Is this Longxi County Sheriff a mule or a horse? I have to pull him out for a walk!" Until the sun began to burn some eyes, Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother Chou, your subordinates have not been used since Nan'an. Today, you will take the lead!" Ma Chao turned around to greet the general, and ordered to Brother Chou.

"Promise!" Brother Chou clasped his fists, extremely excited. This way, he has the least military skills.Ordinarily, his own record, compared to other princes, has long gone crazy.But in the Ma family army, he only lost 500 people to win a county, and he could only get the last ranking...

Fortunately, those bastards under his command also knew their shame and were brave, holding back their energy along the way.At this moment, encountering such a difficult bone, just let the young master see that he belongs to the kind of army that fights tough battles!

As a result, Brother Chou couldn't help nodding his head while looking at Ma Chao, feeling grateful, excited, and anxious all together, with a strange expression on his face, with a ferocious smile, and the scar on his face twitched.But at this moment, a discordant voice came from his ear:
"Young master, a certain subordinate has rested for the past few days and is dedicated to fighting. And there is no casualty in Guangwei County, which is more suitable for this front line..." Pound does have the demeanor of a general, but the problem is that no one has stipulated that this general Can't ask for a fight?

Brother Chou grabbed Pang De without waiting for Ma Chao to speak, "Old Pang, I have never begged you for so many years, just this matter, can you let me come?"

"Don't, you never begged me. When you were in the penal riding camp, if you couldn't beat me, you would sap me and trip me up. Once, you almost killed me on the battlefield..."

"Isn't this one time and another time? At that time, if we wanted to eat or drink, we didn't want to be the boss, and even dogs would bully you..." Brother Chou immediately let go of Pang De's hand, and patted him back. In order to smooth Pound's collar, he said with a shy face.

"That's enough! This is the time of the great war, what kind of dignity are you waiting for?!" Ma Chao was in a bad mood, and he didn't have much to say to the two: "The reason why I let Brother Chou attack the city is because his subordinates are as virtuous as him. Knowing that if you can beat it, you are like a mad dog, if you can't beat it, you will dodge, and when you ring the gold, you are almost like a rabbit!"

Ma Chao was telling the truth, what kind of soldiers did this kind of person bring.It is true that the character of the general directly affects the character of the troops.It is indeed better to let the troops of Brother Chou, who has more eyesight, to attack the city than the group of stubborn troops under Pound.

Brother Ugly was speechless at the moment, and the young master didn't know whether to praise or belittle, but fortunately, this task of leading the battle was absolutely impossible for him to escape.

"Brother Ugly, let me be honest with you this time. I will let all the ballistas shoot at Longxi County to test the water, and then you charge with all the soldiers equipped with Yuanrong crossbows and large shields. The moat is filled in for me, and this battle will be your first achievement! How about it?!"

"No!" Brother Chou clasped his fists to accept the order, and glanced at Pound triumphantly.

"Lingming, you are waiting for the cavalry under your command. If Longxi County dares to send cavalry to attack and kill Brother Chou's infantry, you will stand up to me! Are you up to it?"

"This subordinate will definitely fulfill his mission!" Pang De also clasped his fists and left, leaving Ma Dai standing aside stupidly.

"Ma Dai, go and check the preparations of all the ballistas and be responsible for launching them. Even if there are gods in Longxi County, you will shoot with me!"

"No!" Ma Dai thought that the elder brother would watch the battle from the sidelines, but he didn't want to be responsible for himself, so Ma Dai ran away.

"Chao'er, are you really determined to take Longxi?" Jia Xu asked after the deployment was completed.

Ma Chao nodded, and stretched out his hand to check the direction of the wind: Yes, it happened to be with the wind.

"Brother, the ballistas are ready!" After a little effort, the fifty repeating ballistas that Ma Chao brought this time were installed in place.

After being guided by Ma Chao and modified by Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan of the arsenal, this continuous ballista has a range of more than 250 paces; the seemingly simple sight has greatly improved the accuracy of shooting.At this time, most of the mountain-destroying crossbows used on the city walls at the end of the Han Dynasty had a range of only [-] steps, and with the height of the city walls, they could barely reach [-] degrees.Counting today's wind direction, the Ma family army has an absolute advantage!

Even better, the original bulky bed crossbow was equipped with leather wheels, which made it very convenient for marching. In normal times, mules and horses were used for marching. In wartime, only two soldiers could be pulled to the front line for assembly.

Ma Dai shuttled back and forth among the ballista array, carefully checking whether the bed crossbow was installed in place and whether the crossbow arrows were ready.After that, he reported to Ma Chaohui: "Brother! Fifty ballistas are ready! Please give orders!"

'Come on, Tianshui County!Although I like to subdue others without fighting, but when there is no other way, I prefer men to fight.Just let me see how tough you are in Longxi County! Thinking in his heart, Ma Chao spat out two words: "Shoot!"

With one order, fifty ballistas were fired at the same time, and the eardrum-piercing whistle sounded together, which startled many war horses.Ma Chao saw from a distance that the thick crossbow nails exploded to the bricks of the city, and countless soldiers who watched Ma's army firing the crossbow machine [-] paces away watched the thick crossbow nails whizzing towards them, and it was too late. Those who avoided them, with their previous disdain and sarcasm, were shot to pieces, like broken kites, and fell straight to the top of the city.

This move of 'head start' is wonderful!Ma Chao clapped his hands and laughed: this time not only took away their momentum, but also their courage, right?
"Whoosh whoosh..."

The second wave of crossbow arrows was fired immediately, and the soldiers on the city wall of Longxi County were terrified, and their reaction was very alert. After this round of salvo, Ma Chao could no longer see anyone.But all the county soldiers curled up on the narrow city wall, and there are still many county soldiers who cannot avoid it.

"Pfft-"

Another unlucky Longxi soldier was suddenly shot by a crossbow. The huge momentum caused the body of the soldier to fly up like a kite with a broken string. When it fell, his entire chest seemed to have been hollowed out, and his internal organs had already been shaken. It was so rotten that he didn't even have time to cry out, and he was shot to death.

In an instant, the city of Longxi turned into a hell.

"Ah--", "Oops--"

Many county soldiers who had their skins scratched or shot at their hands and feet were crying and shouting, and the city wall was full of stumped limbs and arms, and blood flowed everywhere, just like the scene of the end of the world.

Finally, after the fifth wave of shooting, no one could be seen above the city.At this moment, the tens of thousands of Ma's troops outside the city suddenly cheered in unison, and the tens of thousands of voices roared almost suppressing the firing of the ballista.Ma Chao felt strange, and hurriedly looked left and right, only to see two black flags hanging on the tower were hit by a crossbow arrow and fell down limply.

At this time, the morale already belonged to the Xiliang Army.And Ma Chao was excited and furious: Why isn't this ugly guy charging at this time?
"Boom...boom...boom..."

Just when Ma Chao was about to get angry, several big drums behind him sounded in unison, and a shrill cry pierced the eardrums of the heavy guns and drum beats. , riding on a bay red horse, shouting orders to his soldiers viciously.

"In this way, Longxi County is not difficult to defeat..." Ma Chao thought in his heart: In the face of absolute strength, the military schemes and tricks of Longxi County are useless at all!

But then, Ma Chao realized how wrong he was: there is nothing so simple as fighting a war...
