Behind him, Zhao Yun couldn't see the angle, and Ma Su was holding a long folded iron box tightly in his hands, his nerves tense.
As soon as there is any sign that something is wrong, he will resort to the life-saving method of "turning the tide" to protect himself.
In fact, Ma Su was not worried that Zhao Yun would get up and hurt him.
Not to mention the life-saving grace, Zhao Yun simply could not repay it. After getting along for a long time, the two of them had already developed a friendship like iron buddies.
The most important thing is that Ma Su has 90 strength and wears the silkworm plate armor that "cannot penetrate anything". Even if Zhao Yun wants to kill him, he may not be able to succeed.
Precisely because he had so many life-saving means, Ma Di did not make any resistance when Zhao Yun's sword came over.
He wanted to see who was more important in Zhao Yun's heart? Liu Chan? Or Ma Di?
In order to verify this truth, he did not hesitate to use the sword to test his body and mind.
After hesitating again and again, Zhao Yun finally failed to be cruel and threw the long sword to the ground, turned around and sighed: "Hey..."
"Why did you betray the traitor?!"
The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
"..."
"Misunderstanding, General Zhao has misunderstood..." Seeing that Zhao Yun was heartbroken and resentful that iron could not become steel, Ma Di did not dare to joke anymore. He bent down to pick up the long sword, slowly inserted it back into the former's scabbard, and said seriously:
"This is a joke, and the joke is a joke."
"The sun and the moon can tell you how much he loves Han!"
Zhao Yun was startled when he heard this. He squinted his eyes and looked up and down carefully. He found that Ma Di's expression was extremely serious, and it didn't look like he was telling lies. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
After being embarrassed for a moment, I glanced at him angrily:
"Shuzi, boring!"
He walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Ma Su quietly put away the iron box and laughed.
Zhang Xiu came to his senses and changed the subject: "General, are you going to attack the city today?"
Ma Su shook his head slightly.
Zhang Xiu said a little unwillingly: "If we drop arrows and stones today, we will definitely frustrate the enemy's spirit. It will not be difficult to defeat this city!"
"You have to understand that this is an offensive battle! Although our army has a large number of troops, we cannot be reckless. If we fall into close combat after attacking the city, wouldn't it only increase casualties?" Ma Su glared at him dissatisfied, secretly thinking to himself.
To scold this guy is to be reckless and have no technical content at all.
"Don't say any more words. Immediately tell me that I will attack this city with thousands of stones!"
Zhang Xiu responded quickly, lowered his head and ran out.
More than four thousand trebuchets were deployed at the four gates of Wuwei City yesterday.
After a day of preparation, a large number of stones were piled outside each city gate. Each of the Shu soldiers who went into the attack had more than 6,000 people, of whom 2,000 were responsible for finding and transporting stones to serve as weapons, and 4,000 were responsible for pulling catapults.
, to project.
The remaining more than 20,000 soldiers were on guard around the trebuchet.
Since the south of the city is Zishan and there are many abandoned houses outside the city, there is no shortage of stones.
As much as you want, there will be as much as you want.
At this time, the Wei soldiers were still standing stupidly at the top of the city, craning their necks and staring at the trebuchets placed two hundred steps away.
They did not believe that the Shu army's trebuchets could be thrown as far as two hundred steps.
I don't even believe that such a big stone can be thrown from such a high tower.
So they were all skeptical and full of disbelief.
Ma Su felt a little pity. He originally did not want to use such cruel methods to kill the Wei soldiers. But war is cruel. If he did not do this, the Qiang soldiers under his command would die.
In this case, the only choice is to kill the enemy's soldiers rather than kill your own soldiers.
Fortunately, there were only 3,000 Wei soldiers in the city. Even if they were all killed, it would still be within an acceptable range.
Soon, the trebuchets four doors away launched an indiscriminate bombardment.
More than 4,000 stones, much larger than basketballs, flew up out of the air, like a meteor shower from the sky, roaring up to the tower and smashing into the city.
Suddenly there was a dense "bang bang bang" sound.
The scene in Jincheng was staged again.
The soldiers of the Wei army suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and miserable groans occurred one after another. Some people were constantly hit by stones and rolled down the city wall.
When the bombardment was over, the surviving Wei troops on the city wall were all frightened and fled down the city crying and howling. They hunched over and accelerated away from the bombing range of the trebuchets.
But the Shu army's stone throwing speed was faster than theirs, and then there was another round of single-shot volley.
Because it was an indiscriminate carpet bombardment, the damage caused to the Wei army this time was even greater. The Wei army, who had luckily escaped the bombardment before, was drowned by the rain of stones as soon as they ran down the tower. They lay down wailing on the ground and fell asleep.
The bombardment lasted for more than half an hour and finally stopped amidst the expectations of many people.
Looking at the embarrassed and sparse soldiers in front of him, Xu Miao's heart felt like a knife.
He didn't even need to take stock, but he knew that nearly half of the soldiers were killed or wounded, more than a thousand people.
This result was something he had not expected at the beginning.
He had thought that the Shu army's cavalry was ferocious and unstoppable, but it was not so ferocious.
The Wei army under his command had no ability to fight back and could only be beaten passively. They could not stand on the city wall at all. They did not even touch the hair of the Shu soldiers, and half of their troops were killed first.
The most terrifying thing is that the Shu army piled up a lot of stones outside the city, but they only stopped bombarding them for half an hour and did not choose to continue throwing stones.
This shows that this is just a tentative attack.
There will be more violent attacks later.
This can no longer be called a war.
This was a one-sided massacre.
Xu Miao finally understood why Jincheng was lost so quickly.
Who the hell can withstand the flying rocks?
"grown ups!"
There was a cry from behind and in front of me.
Xu Miao turned his head and looked around, and saw the surviving soldiers kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly and holding up their hands and praying:
"Sir, all the soldiers are dead..."
"grown ups……"
Xu Miao closed his eyes, and two large tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He sighed and said: "This is God's will and cannot be resisted by human power. You can go out of the city and surrender on your own."
"Sir, what about you?" a soldier asked.
Xu Miao pulled out his sword and placed it on his neck, "We in the Wei Dynasty only have beheaded generals and no surrendered generals. The city will be destroyed and I will die for my country."
"grown ups!"
"General!"
"We will live and die with you!"
"We would rather die than surrender to Shu!"
All the soldiers came forward one after another, comforting Xu Miao and expressing their feelings.
"Okay! Open the city gate, follow me and charge into the battle to kill the enemy!" Xu Miao looked at the vivid faces in front of him with joy, turned over and mounted his horse, raised his sword high, and said in a deep voice:
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear. I share the same enemy with you!"
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat with you. The king raised an army and repaired my spear and halberd. I will work together with you!"
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same clothes with you. The king raised his army and repaired my armor. I will go with you!"
All the soldiers raised their weapons and echoed the chant.
The sound waves gradually converged into a neat chant.
…
outside the city,
Ma Su was inspecting the military formation. Zhang Xiu came from the north in a hurry on horseback. As he approached, he raised his hands and said: "General, Xu Miao is dead!"
How did you die?
I didn't even exert any force, why did he fall down?
Ma Su was shocked: "Is this serious?"
Zhang Xiu nodded and said carefully: "Half an hour ago, Xu Miao led more than a thousand people out of the north gate and attacked General Zhao's north camp. As soon as he left the city, Xu Miao was hit by a huge stone and died, and all the other soldiers were killed.
Die in battle."
"At this moment, there are no stubborn soldiers in the city."
"We won!"
This time it was Ma Su's turn to take a breath of cold air, the expression on his face changed in various ways, and after a moment, he said: "Take me to see it."
So Zhang Xiu led the way, followed closely by Ma Di, and other soldiers also followed. A large group of people rushed to the place where Xu Miao died in battle, and saw the flesh and blood under a big stone, and only the bright red blood was constantly printed on the ground.
"Bury this man with dignity." Ma Su's tone was full of respect, "Also, do not disturb the people after entering the city, clear the stones immediately, and treat the wounded."
Zhang Xiu accepted the promise and left.
Ma Su looked at Dai Ling and said, "Send someone to the prefect of Xiping, and General Fei Yao will send a message to him within ten days to surrender. Otherwise, the troops will attack the city and no dogs or chickens will be left behind!"
Dai Ling also obeyed the order and left.
Ma Di and Zhao Yun looked at each other, but saw that the latter turned his head angrily and looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, obviously he was worried about being teased before.
