Chapter Thirty-Eight: Keep Charging

"Is this Liangzhou heavy armor comfortable to wear?" Ma Yue smiled and sat opposite Sun Qing. Sun Qing was wearing heavy armor and was tied up by Wuhuada, and there were two Liangzhou army soldiers behind him, and if one was wrong, he would have to fight with a knife and axe. Sun Qing's head was like a frosted eggplant, where did he still have the strength to reply to Ma Yue's words, he knelt on the ground with his head down and didn't say a word.

This is a valley twelve miles southeast of Yuyuan Pass, and Ma Yue gathered his soldiers and horses, and took more than 400 captives to reorganize here. This little Qu Shuai named Sun Qing was almost stupid in Ma Yue's eyes, and the action of running away and not forgetting to pick up the helmet made him unbelievable that it was this guy's idea to sneak attack him.

In the battle at the foot of Songshan Mountain, more than 200 armored troops were killed, and more than 700 people were injured in the chaotic rain of arrows.

Fortunately, it was surrounded, and in a hurry, the sergeant had no way to escape but to gather at the big curtain he erected, otherwise it would be a rout, and it would be good to be able to gather two thousand soldiers and horses.

"You used to be a subordinate of the Great Sage and Mentor?" Ma Yue sat on the stool, looked at Sun Qing with a sad face and said with a smile: "The situation of the defenders of Yuyuan Pass and Taigu Pass, tell me the truth." ”

Sun Qing lowered his head and still didn't speak, he only felt that the heavy armor was extremely ironic...... If he hadn't seen such a good object, he would have been captured? If it weren't for the fact that the Montenegrin army was all bitter horses that had never seen such a tall horse in the mountains and forests, and such sharp weapons, how could this big victory become a rout?

"When the general asks you, you should pretend to be dumb, otherwise Lao Tzu will tie you to a stick and shoot you to death." Gan Ning's mouth was full of Shu dialect, and he spoke quickly and urgently, and he was about to shoot him to death with a bow and arrows.

Ma Yue didn't even ask two words, but Gan Ning's sentence made Sun chuckle, and he raised his head and mocked unwillingly: "If you want to shoot, shoot, what is Shuchuan barbaric and arrogant?" Your grandpa is waiting for you to! ”

"Xingba retreats." Ma Yue waved his hand to stop Gan Ning from speaking, and said to Sun Qing: "Okay, I know that your Montenegrin army are all good men who are not afraid of death, and they have done everything to rebel, where can they be afraid of death." Stand down, and I'll talk to him. ”

"My lord?"

"Stand down, it's fine." Ma Yue waved his hand, all the generals got out of the way, and went to reorganize the soldiers and horses, Sun Qing's attack caused heavy losses to the armored army, and the battleable army was almost reduced by 1,000 at once. The battle in the customs is not easy to fight.

When everyone was gone, Sun Qing raised his head and said to Ma Yue with a sneer: "General Ma, don't pretend to be a good person, do you have less blood on your hands than my Taiping Dao brothers?" I'm not the only one missing, the dwarf is right, kill a certain family. ”

Gan Ning was more than seven feet tall, and was said to be a short man by Sun Qing, a reckless man, which made Ma Yue feel funny. He stood up and said, "Okay, who am I, you Yellow Turban Yu Party knows best, let me ask you again, why did Zhang Yan think about besieging the imperial city?" ”

Sun chuckled and said, "We rebels, do you still feel strange about what we have done, general?" ”

"Hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain troops, do you want to die in Guanzhong like this?" Ma Yue said with great ease: "Dong Zhuo of the state of the state, five thousand soldiers." Ma Teng, Liangzhou, 5,000 soldiers. Cao Cao, Yanzhou, 5,000 soldiers. Nanyang Yuan Shu, 5,000 soldiers. Coupled with Huang Wan, Liu Yan and the like, the princes everywhere can sharpen their knives, and Ma is just close and the fastest. Are you all going to die here? ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for the poor ambition of a certain brother, you would have been defeated today, where would you have the opportunity to speak out here?" Sun said angrily: "Quickly behead a certain family, if a certain family captures you, it will not let you live for an hour!" ”

Ma Yue waved his hand impatiently and said, "Then you also have to capture a certain family, don't talk that nonsense." Zhang Yan wants to fight Yuan Shao, right, I also want to fight Yuan Shao. Why don't you go back to Luoyang and send a message to Zhang Yan on my behalf? ”

"What letter?" Sun Qing frowned, he couldn't believe that Ma Yue didn't kill him?

"You give me the pass. I no longer march north. Ma Yue spread his hands easily and said: "The conditions are also very simple, Zhang Yan retreats east from Luoyang, don't disturb Your Majesty again." ”

Sun Qing frowned and shouted, "Impossible! It's easy to kill my grandson, but you don't want someone to do things for you! ”

Ma Yue nodded lightly and said, "Okay, then you and I will talk about it in two days." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the tent without looking back.

Ma Yue still hasn't figured out why Zhang Yan wants to attack Luoyang, doesn't he know that no matter whether he captures it or not, he will definitely die? That is where the authority of the world lies, and whoever has stormed it will be forgiven by the people of the world? What did Yuan Shao do, he was so hated by Zhang Yan.

"How's it going?" Ma Yue walked out of the tent and was catching up with Ma Chao, who was galloping from outside the camp, and replied: "Uncle, there are not many defenders on the Yuyuan Pass, and Sun Qing will at least divide half of the soldiers and horses to raid us." ”

Tapping his fingers on his forehead a few times, Ma Yue raised his head and said with a firm expression: "Raise troops and attack Yuyuan Pass." ”

The armoured army rose up from the camp, and more than 4,000 soldiers advanced towards the Yuyuan Pass, and the middle of the city-breaking hammer was nailed into a wooden plank, connected to four wooden wheels, and dragged by six horses to the city gate.

The sergeant at the head of the city lit the torches, there was nothing to hide, the camp was ten miles away, and the defenders could see clearly from the head of the city.

A siege has begun.

The strong crossbows of the armored army under the city were lined up in three rows and shot at the head of the city, and the crossbow arrows were sprinkled on the head of the city like locusts, suppressing the defenders of the city. Hundreds of defenders threw stones at the city in a panic, but they were constantly killed by crossbow bolts.

Except for two groups of cavalry dragging rams, the armored army was not even close to a hundred paces away from the city, and only sprinkled countless crossbow bolts at the city over and over again.

"Boom!" The horse dragged the ram to the gate, and the fast-rolling wooden wheel and the ram slammed into the gate at great speed, making a violent sound.

A sparse stone fell, injuring a horse. When the knight on the horse fell off his horse, he was crushed by the heavy body of the horse and could not move.

A hundred cavalry rushed to the city gate, raised their crossbows and fired at the defenders of the city, and in the blink of an eye, two Montenegrin soldiers with arrows fell from the city.

The horses were moved away, and the armoured army pulled the rams, and the other team of rams were dragged by the horses and hit the gates, and were dragged away again. Two rams took turns striking the gates, knocking the impregnable gates through cracks.

In the face of the continuous projectile of the armored army, the defenders at the head of the city were unable to carry out a powerful counterattack.

Even more serious, the main general did not return the pass, but was attacked by the enemy. Everyone had some bad feelings in their hearts, and Wang Dang, who was hiding behind the female wall with a shield to guard against the rain of arrows, was even more suspicious.

"Qu Shuai, what should I do? Are we still going to hold on? A black mountain marquis braved the rain of arrows and ran to Wang Dang's side, panting and saying: "Qu Shuai, let's withdraw, if we don't withdraw, the enemy will break the city, and hundreds of brothers will be buried here!" ”

Wang Dang glanced at the military marquis behind him, and clenched the machete in his hand, "Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense, die, and die here." Could it be that our Montenegrin army is weaker than them? Let me tell you, it is because everyone thinks like you that the legacy of the great sage and good teacher was passed on by no one, and the Yellow Sky Uprising in the sonic eight states was defeated! ”

Wang Dang, who was also the first Jizhou man to follow Zhang Liang to fight in all directions, once tied a king with his own hands, which was the greatest pride in his life. The invincible king of Han was bound and knelt down before them, the people who were accustomed to having a pitchfork and hoe, and prayed before the great sages and good teachers...... That image is still remembered by him to this day.

As he spoke, Wang Dang suddenly stood up from the city covered with arrows, raised his machete and shouted: "Back then, the great sages and good teachers failed to besiege Luoyang, and now General Montenegro leads us to surround the emperor in Luoyang City. Guarding the eight levels is the responsibility that every Montenegrin sergeant must adhere to! Everyone knows who is attacking the city outside the gate, it is the brave and cunning Liangzhou Ma Yue! Each enemy is covered in iron armor, their equipment is stronger than ours, their physical strength is stronger than ours, and their crossbows can shoot three hundred steps! Even their horses are clad in horse armor that none of us can wear! ”

"The enemy is so strong, each of us wants to retreat, and so do I!" As if with divine help, Wang Dang, who stood up, was not shot by any crossbow arrow, raised his sword and shouted: "But a certain family can't help but ask you, are you afraid?" ”

The rain of arrows continued to fall on the city, and in the continuous arrows, Wang Dang's words smashed like a hammer on the hearts of every Montenegrin army.

"A certain family is asking you, are you afraid of the ironclad warriors outside the city?" Wang Dang ran around the city like a madman with a sword in the rain of arrows, shuttling between his robes, and shouting, "Are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!"

A young Montenegrin man stood up.

"Don't be afraid!"

One after another heroic Black Mountain men stood up.

"Order, go down to the city, wait for the city pass to be broken, we will be with Yuyuan Pass!" Wang Dang didn't say more, ran down the city tower with a shield, and the Montenegrin man behind him squeezed the city gate hole tightly, more than 400 Montenegrin soldiers, they were tall, short, fat and thin, but they had the same fierce eyes.

As they ran down the city, cheers erupted from the armoured army as their enemies abandoned the city and fled!

The gates were still dilapidated, and the wooden gates were torn apart by repeated impacts, knocking out large holes that let out light. The wooden fence at the doorway didn't last long, and each impact caused it to let out a few wails.

"Brothers, are your yellow turbans still there?" Wang Dang raised the rusty machete in his hand, a dirty yellow scarf was tied to his forehead, and his face was full of fanaticism. The Montenegrin army behind him did the same, and they took out a yellow scarf from their arms, and each weapon was raised, maintaining a chopping posture. "The great sage and good teacher have a spirit in the sky, so please bless us and keep charging!"

Always, charge down.

Boom!

The gate was smashed open by the armoured army's ram, and the huge force caused the gate to slam in both directions, hitting the walls on both sides of the gate hole. Huge patches of earth fell from the top of the city gates. In the earth-colored smoke, a head wrapped in a yellow scarf was first revealed. The hideous-looking man rushed out first with a machete in his hand, shouting slogans that had been forgotten by the world for several years. "The sky is dead!"

Heaven, heaven, death!
