Chapter 322: Arrive first in person
Although Wen Qin is still young, he is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield and studied the art of war. Over the years, I have become a school governor from Yamen, so I am a knowledgeable person.
But Wen Qin had never heard of such a siege method by the Han army.
Nail the crossbow arrows on the city wall, and then the soldiers step on the crossbow arrows and hit the city top. Such an outrageous style of play almost subverted Wen Qin's cognition.
But Wen Qin soon realized that he had no time to hesitate.
While he was confused, the Han army was continuing to use bed crossbows to hammer crossbow arrows into the city wall. Countless Han soldiers were climbing at full speed and attacking the city from all directions.
Climbing like this, it would be difficult for the Wei army to directly disrupt their climb from the city wall. The only way was to keep throwing rolling logs and stones to try to destroy the crossbow arrows nailed to the city wall.
But the crossbowmen on the Han army's arrow tower were not vegetarians. They were located higher than the Wei army, and they shot from a high position. The Wei army had to suppress the Han army's arrows and risked being shot to death by throwing rolling logs and rocks in an attempt to resist.
But even so, they were still in danger in the face of the Han army's tidal offensive. Many Han soldiers had already boarded the city and started fighting with the Wei army.
Wen Qin reacted at this moment and was dissatisfied, and immediately joined the battlefield with his reserve team.
Not long after the battle started, the reserve team had to leave, which shows how strong the pressure the Han army put on Wen Qin.
The most important thing is that because the Han army sent troops too quickly, the Wei army was seriously underprepared. plus because
With the presence of stepping arrows, the Wei army's rolling wood and stones were consumed very quickly.
The two sides fought for nearly a day, and it was not until nightfall that the Han army had to retreat. At this moment, the rolling wood and rocks prepared by the Wei army had basically been exhausted.
You know, at this time Ma Di had not yet finished, and Wen Qin almost died by simply attacking the city in a tentative manner.
After the Han army retreated, Wen Qin immediately organized people to demolish the houses in the city and prepare again for rolling wood and stones. At the same time, he mobilized the big families in the city and forced them to provide slaves and supplies to support the defenders at the top of the city.
The Kunyang clan is not far from Yingchuan, and they also belong to a group of people with vested interests in the Wei Dynasty. Therefore, even if they were not very willing, these wealthy families still contributed people to help Wen Qin defend the city.
There was no way, Kunyang was lost and sent to the Shu Han side, and their treatment was not as good as that of Cao Wei. Moreover, seeing that the main force of Cao Wei is coming, we might as well try our best to resist it.
At dawn the next day, Ma Di led the Han army to fight back again.
Ma Su was very dissatisfied when he failed to capture Kunyang on the first day. Today, Ma Di directly dispatched his entire army, encircling the city from all sides and attacking the city together.
If Wang Ping hadn't grabbed him tightly and refused to let him go up, Ma Di would have really wanted to go up first in person.
However, Ma Su did not go up, but his general Ma Zhong had to lead his troops to fight against it. Surrounded on all sides, the Han army mobilized all its forces and began a large-scale attack on the city.
"Soldiers, General Ma promised that whoever reaches the top of the city first will be rewarded ten thousand yuan!" Jufu, a young general, personally took charge of the battle and led the Han army soldiers to attack the city head.
With the preparations on the first day, the Han army seemed to be relatively familiar with the road. As soon as the arrows were nailed on, the Han soldiers began to climb up very quickly.
But even so, Kunyang City is in high danger here, and Wen Qin is not a showman, and still leads his army to guard the city head. All the powerful and powerful people in the city did not welcome the Han army. They sent out slaves and clansmen to deliver weapons, food and grass to the Wei army and resisted to the death.
Starting from Wancheng, Ma Di had actually entered Cao Wei's core interest area. The big man's signboard is no longer useful here. Everyone has vested interests and naturally they don't welcome outsiders.
The two sides fought from sunrise to noon. The Han army attacked the city several times, but Wen Qin blocked them all. However, the Wei army's losses were extremely terrible, and Wen Qin estimated that they could defend for two more days at most.
But at this time, Ma Su finally couldn't sit still.
"General! The expedition horses sent to the north reported that traces of the Wei army have appeared a hundred miles to the north. According to calculations, the puppet Wei's reinforcements will arrive in two days at most."
"Fuck! I underestimated Kunyang's strength! It would be great if I could just pull up the cannon." Ma Su's face was a little solemn, and he stared at Kunyang in the distance, which was difficult to conquer, and his eyes were a little nervous.
Ma Su also constructed the Huihui Cannon, but it was too heavy and difficult to carry. Ma Su came in a hurry, and it was difficult to carry the crossbow, let alone that one.
Ma Su pondered for a while, and suddenly a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Zijun, go get me a pen and paper, I need Wancheng's support!"
"Okay." Wang Ping nodded, turned around and went into the army tent to get some paper for Ma Di. However, when he turned around, he saw that Ma Di had disappeared.
"Fuck you! General Ma, are you here again?"
"Soldiers, I will ascend first in person and follow me to attack the city!"
In just a short while, Ma Su's people had already rushed to the front army. He personally led his personal guards among the siege troops, preparing to attack the enemy first.
There was no way, even with the new siege facilities, Ma Su had to go up by himself. If he were a step too late, the Wei reinforcements would be killed in the face.
As soon as Ma Su's iconic armor appeared, the already weak Han army was instantly excited.
General Zhengbei, the commander-in-chief, personally came to capture the flag first. What are we afraid of?
Fight!
The morale of the Han army was instantly refreshed, and they fought back again as if they were resurrected with full blood. The momentum of its attack became fierce in an instant, and the Wei army was overwhelmed and breathless.
"Kill me!" Ma Su rushed to the city, bit the blade of the knife, grabbed the stepping arrow and climbed up. Facing the enemy's arrows and rolling wood, Ma Su didn't care at all and rushed forward with his head buried.
You couldn't shoot me without a helmet before, but now you can shoot me with a helmet!
Ma Su buried his head and crawled forward, watching as all the rolling logs and rocks above his head stopped.
However, this is not because Wei Jun did not take action, but a man appeared behind Ma Su, desperately guarding Ma Su with bows and arrows.
"Anyone who dares to come will die!" Ma Zhong raised his bow and arrow and shot another Wei soldier to death. With his archery skills, no Wei soldier could throw a log above Ma Su's head.
With Ma Su's super good luck and the protection of Ma Zhong's bow and arrow that quickly shot sparks, Ma Su was forced to climb to the top of the city.
"General Han Zhengbei is here! You will die as soon as possible!" As soon as Ma Su climbed up to the top of the city, he swung his knife and killed two Wei soldiers guarding the city with his raised hand, and roared loudly at the same time.
The four words "General Zhengbei" instantly attracted the attention of all the Wei soldiers present. Ma Di said,
Even Wen Qin is like this.
"Is he Ma Su?" Wen Qin looked at Ma Su, his eyes burning hot for a moment.
It is said that His Majesty is talking about Ma Di and Zhuge Liang every day, and he is almost becoming a demon. There are even rumors in Luoyang that if someone can offer the heads of Zhuge Liang or Ma Di, they may even be made kings.
This is a big fortune, Wen Qin can't resist this temptation!
