Chapter 325 Tips (Part [-])
In the early morning of the next day, twenty miles outside Fufeng County, Han Wu's army arrived here.

The scouts from Fufeng County found out and hurried back to report immediately.

Baima Yicong and Baipaojun took the vanguard and removed all Ma Teng's scouts.

In Fufeng County, Ma Teng had just woken up when he was attracted by the sudden commotion outside.

Ma Tie hurriedly put on his armor and ran outside Ma Teng's room, shouting, "Father! Han Wu marched in the starry night, and was twenty miles away from Fufeng County half an hour ago!"

"Right now... I'm afraid the soldiers are about to attack the city!"

Ma Teng took a deep breath, picked up the saber, and rushed out of the room.

"What did you say? How is this possible? Are Han Sui's scouts and our scouts all blind? It's a day's journey from Shangjun to here. Could it be that he marched in the starry night?"

"Calm down, you must be calm. They marched in the starry night, they traveled long distances, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is definitely not half of the usual! Let Meng Qi immediately go to the tower to organize defenses and resist the Han Wu army!"

Ma Teng calmed down, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long journey from Shangjun to here, Han Wu's army must not be able to carry such a siege weapon like a flying stone cart.

Only relying on the ladder, Ma Teng is confident to defend Fufeng County for half a month.

Half a month is enough for the Qiang cavalry to rush over to support.

Seeing that his father was not in a panic, Ma Tie breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried out to deliver the order.

Outside Fufeng County, Han Wu sat on his horse and yelled, feeling very sleepy.

The night march was really exhausting, and Han Wu wished he could find a place to sleep right now.

Seeing the not particularly tall Fufeng County in front of him, Han Wu stretched his waist and said, "Zhu Ling, call for battle first. If the Xiliang Army is free from battle, use the Qin Crossbow and Qianji Crossbow to shoot from a long distance."

As soon as Han Wu waved his hand, he asked Zhu Ling to call for battle.

Zhu Ling led dozens of soldiers and rushed out, rushing to the city of Fufeng County.

Ma Chao, dressed in silver armor, stood on the tower to urge the soldiers to arm their defenses, and ignored Zhu Ling at all.

After half a cup of tea, Zhu Ling rode back and asked Han Wu for instructions.

Han Wu ignored Zhu Ling and just let him follow the plan.

Ma Chao stared at Han Wu's army with squinted eyes on the tower, and asked Ma Wan, "The Jizhou army will definitely not be able to bring flying stone carts when they come from Shangjun. The only way to attack the city is by force."

"It is reasonable to say that they will attack directly as soon as they come here. It is the best way to catch us off guard. Now they come here first to call for battle. What do you think Han Wu is planning?"

Ma Wan also took a breath in doubt, very puzzled.

But the next moment, Ma Wan saw three crossbows pushed out from the Jizhou army!

Four rows of flat-shooting crossbowmen and high-firing crossbowmen lined up in front of the army formation, setting up their lineup outside the distance of an arrow.

Startled, Ma Chao pulled up Ma Tie and squatted under the city wall.

He snatched the shield from a soldier nearby, and Ma Chao blocked it on his head.

Just when the Xiliang soldiers were still wondering what the Jizhou army was doing, Zhu Ling gave an order, and the Qin crossbow shot out arrows!

The arrow flew into the sky, made a sound like howling ghosts and wolves, and went straight to the top of the city.

"Run!"

"My God! Arrows can be shot from a distance of one arrow, run!"

The arrows were as dense as raindrops and fell on the towers of Fufeng County.

There were wailing sounds one after another, but the sound of falling to the ground was completely drowned out by the sound of arrows piercing the air.

Ma Chao's right arm holding the shield trembled instantly, and he quickly supported the shield with both hands.

Ma Wan also took the opportunity to pick up a shield with a spear and held it above his head for defense.

"How is this possible! An arrow of this strength is equivalent to a hard bow of six or seven stones! Even crossbow arrows cannot have such power and range!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and winked at Ma Wan.

Ma Wan understood, and the two moved together to block the arrow and approach the stairs.

The city tower must be removed first. The crossbow arrows of the Jizhou army are too powerful to defend the city at all.

After withdrawing from the rain of arrows, Ma Chao and Ma felt relieved after playing down the city.

It was a narrow escape. If Ma Chao hadn't reacted sharply, I'm afraid they would have been shot into a sieve.

Ma Teng also rushed over, seeing Ma Chao and Ma playing Jing Jing, with all the broken iron shields in his hands, he was immediately curious.

"How could it be? Meng Qi, why don't you defend the city on the top of the tower, but run to bring it!"

Ma Teng was a little annoyed, and asked the crime directly.

Ma Wan hurriedly threw the shield aside, and reported: "General, the Jizhou army has shot crossbow arrows nearly two arrows away, and almost all the soldiers on the tower are dead!"

"We lost 400 people just because the other side talked about salvoing."

After hearing Ma Wan's words, Ma Tie snorted coldly and said, "Fart! In the land of two arrows, even pawns would need half a cup of tea to run over."

"What kind of crossbow can shoot twice the distance of the bow and arrow? And it is still shooting from below to the tower? It is clear that you have neglected your duties, what excuse are you looking for!"

Ma Tiekou was merciless, and Mawan wanted to kill him immediately.

Ma Teng coughed lightly, glared at Ma Tie, and then said: "Meng Qi, is Ma Wan's statement true?"

When Ma Chao heard his father's question, he also glared at Ma Tie at the same time, and then replied: "It's true!"

"Even if the Jizhou army attacks, we will have enough time to go up to the tower to defend. The land of two arrows is far away."

Just as Ma Chao finished speaking, there was a loud noise, and a huge gap suddenly opened in the gate of the city!

Ma Teng's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "What is this! A crossbow bolt? A giant crossbow bolt? It shot through the city gate?"

"Quick, find a sack and fill it with soil, and block the city gate!"

Before Ma Teng could be shocked, he immediately ordered to block the city gate.

After half a cup of tea, another giant crossbow shot out, piercing the city gate again!

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army immediately organized and blocked the city gate with sacks.

Outside the city, Han Wu squinted his eyes to observe the situation in Fufeng County, but he couldn't see clearly because it was too far away.

"Zhu Ling, tell the Thousand Machine Crossbow to stop firing, and send a few scouts over to check the situation at the city gate."

"Two shots, in terms of power, should be enough to destroy the city gate."

Han Wu waved his hand, asking Chen Qingzhi to order Bai Ma Yicong to prepare for the assault.

Once the city gate of Fufeng County is destroyed, it is time for the army to rush into the city.

But it stands to reason that a thousand machine crossbows are enough to break through the city with one shot, and it is really strange that two shots have failed to destroy the city gate.

Several scouts rode out immediately and approached Fufeng County to observe the situation.

There were no Xiliang guards on the city tower, and the soldiers were all afraid of the crossbow arrows of the Jizhou army, so they gave up defending.

The scout returned, reported the specific situation to Zhu Ling, and returned to the lineup.

Zhu Ling hurriedly got off his horse, walked up to the lord, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, the scouts are reporting back. The arrow from the Qianji crossbow pierced the city gate, but it only made a crack in the city gate, and did not destroy it."

After hearing this, Kuai Yue, who had just been shocked by Qin Nu and Qian Ji Nu, calmed down, and said quickly, "My lord! The arrows of Qian Ji Nu have too strong penetrating power, so they failed to destroy the city gate."

"The penetrating power can destroy the city walls better, but not the city gates. Now the Xiliang Army must start blocking the city gates with mud. I'm afraid we won't be able to directly destroy the city."

After hearing what Kuai Liang said, Han Wu smiled slightly.

"Forget it! Then withdraw the army first, and today is a reminder to Ma Teng. Let's not expose the thousand-machine crossbow, and withdraw the army first! Wait for Wang Shuang to escort the luggage over, and be more vigilant tonight to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp."

Directly ordered, Han Wu decided to retreat first.

Since it is impossible to break through the city in one fell swoop, it is better to let the soldiers rest more first, and also avoid exposing the Thousand Chance Crossbow to the enemy.
