Chapter 24: The Battle of Weinan [4]
To the east of Weinan City, the Montenegrin Army once again attacked the head of the city.
This offensive was very different from other times, and it had been fought for ten years and experienced more than 100 battles. Five years of leading the army alone, the war has long been like washing hands and eating for Ma Yue.
Commanding the war, when he is the commander of the whole army, he can already sense the rhythm of the war.
Raising the battle axe, Ma Yue shouted: "Brothers, hold on, this is the last attack!" β
For seven days in a row, Yuan Shao's last attack every day was a large-scale march, and Ma Yue could almost guess Yuan Shao's fanatical eyes on the handsome platform that stood high in the enemy's formation thousands of steps away...... Yuan Benchu's intention was too obvious, and every day and evening, he hoped that he could sleep in Weinan County at night and drink with his head.
is as rebellious as Ma San, how can he make the Yuan family get his wish?
Having mastered the law of Yuan Shao's attack, it was easier for the Liangzhou army to take precautions, at least knowing when they could rest and when they had to fight.
The Liangzhou army at the head of the city once again roared together, and their morale was boosted again.
Ma Yue, Xu Huang, and Wang Shuang formed a small three-person formation in front of the east gatehouse of the city, with Ma Yue as the striker, and the three of them all had ordinary and difficult bravery, and the three pure iron forged battle axes were waved together, and no one could enter the five-step range. The three of them relied on the martial arts of the tiger to defeat the screaming Black Mountain soldiers again and again at the head of the city.
Such a battle is exhilarating and exhausting.
The Liangzhou Armored Army was sent down to the city by Ma Yue after a short rescue time, and these days the most elite armored army in Liangzhou has been serving as an auxiliary force, whether it is transporting corpses or carrying arrows and other tasks. As the main force under Ma Yue's command, they hope that they will always appear on the most difficult battlefield, as if this is the only way to meet the hard training they endure on weekdays and the most abundant food in Liangzhou.
Of course, Ma Yue knew what they were thinking, and every day his three brave nephews chattered in his ear to fight.
However, Ma Yue would not let them go up to the castle tower to meet them in such a situation, and even if they went to the city to help in the battle, they would only do so at the most difficult time, and once they rushed the enemy down the city, they would immediately order them to retreat.
Everyone has their own hole cards, just like he Ma Yue has an armored army, he stubbornly believes that Yuan Shao also has his own hole cards. He wanted to delay as much time as possible and give his side a little more chance before the two sides revealed their cards.
A chance to win with one hit.
Although Yan Xing, Ma Chao, and Ganning have always regarded themselves as the main battle force, in fact, in Ma Yue's heart, the armored army will always be an attacking force, and the main force is the Liangzhou standing army that seems to be more capable of fighting a protracted war and using their lives to consume each other.
The Battle of Weinan lasted for seven days, and in these seven days, countless Montenegrin troops died under this little-known small city of Sanfu. Ma Yue estimated that the death of the Black Mountain Army should be around 12,000, because he had also personally lit torches three times in the tomb pit in the north of the city, so that more than 2,700 Liangzhou heroes under his command were turned into ashes, lying in small wooden boxes waiting for him to send them back to Liangzhou with his own hands.
In addition, there are more than 2,000 people who are seriously injured and unable to fight anymore, only the medicine stones and surgery hang their lives, and even so, the seriously wounded soldiers are still too injured every day to die.
Now his main force Liangzhou Army has more than 6,000 fighters, almost all of them are wounded, and the whole army is colored.
According to the fortified city, there was still a five-to-one battle loss, which is why he did not withdraw into Chang'an. Although the Liangzhou Army was brave and brave, it was negligent in training after all, and the Montenegrin Army was all old mountain bandits licking blood from the knife edge, and they rushed into battle with a momentum like a rainbow. If he guards the Xiongcheng city of Chang'an, he will not be able to complete the four city walls with more than 10,000 soldiers, so it is better to choose to look at the world like Weinan and be just an ordinary city, and he can do his best to garrison it.
This attack on Yuan Shao seemed to be ruthless, and he actually sent the Black Mountain Army to the city tower like a mustard, which almost caught Ma Yue off guard.
There were too many enemies, and there were too few soldiers defending the city, and one wall could be defended by more than a thousand soldiers, and almost twice as many Montenegrin troops as their own climbed to the top of the city in almost a hundred breaths, and this number was still increasing rapidly.
If all three walls were attacked by such an attack, he would have no choice but to send the Covered Army to the top of the city again.
But Ma Yue had a reluctance in his heart, he understood that Yuan Shao just wanted to force out the armored army to defend the city. Although he didn't know what Yuan Shao would do after the armor-covered army went to the city, he wouldn't teach Yuan Shao to do it anyway.
"Lord, let the armored army go to the city, if you hold on any longer, I am afraid that the city will be lost." Xu Huang struggled to slash over several Black Mountain soldiers who rushed to the front, he had been stabbed twice, but he was covered in the finely wrought iron armor of his whole body and did not suffer any damage, he was just a little out of breath in his heavy armor. Looking at the north of the city in the distance uneasily, he said to Ma Yue: "I don't know the north and south city walls, I may hold on!" β
Through the heavy armor, Xu Huang's voice sounded a little urn-like and angry, but Ma Yue cared more about the gasping between his words. Not only Xu Huang, but Ma Yue's back was also soaked with sweat and sticky. They can represent the strongest physical strength of the armored army, if even they hold on to fighting for less than half an hour, then what about ordinary armored sergeants?
"Wang Shuang, how are you?"
Wang Shuang, who watched each other back to back with Ma Yue and Xu Huang, is now even more out of breath, after all, he is not as young as the two of them have more physical strength, not to mention that the armor on Wang Shuang's body has only been changed recently. Accustomed to the lightness of light armor or even no armor, it is difficult to support it when you suddenly change into heavy armor. Hearing Ma Yue's inquiry, he waved his hand and said, "General, I'm fine!" β
Before he finished speaking, he had already thrown his tomahawk aside and held his short sword.
"If you can't hold it, you have to support Lao Tzu! I just, I don't believe it! Ma Yue gritted his teeth and held the battle axe in both hands, and once again rushed towards the Black Mountain army that attacked the city, only this time, his steps became cumbersome.
It is difficult to sustain such a battle with inexhaustible strength.
The three of them fought in the sea of people, taking turns as sharp knives to rush left and right at the head of the city, constantly gathering the Liangzhou army that was surrounded behind them, and almost killing a back and forth in the Montenegrin army at the head of the city.
Back in front of the city gate tower again, there were already more than 200 Liangzhou soldiers behind Ma Yue, but there was no joy in his heart. This is likely to be the only remaining Liangzhou army on the eastern city wall. Looking at the Black Mountain Army that surrounded them, they roared angrily: "Hold the steps, Liangzhou Army!" Formation! β
Behind him were the steps down the tower, and if the Black Mountain Army wanted to really take the eastern wall, they would have to cross over him!
In the face of the Liangzhou army that was in formation, the Montenegrin army rushed up frantically again......
"General, look over there!" Wang Shuang stabbed a sword into the abdomen of a Black Mountain sergeant, and with the other elbow pushed the enemy in the middle sword, he suddenly saw a large number of Xuanjia sergeants charging up behind the enemy, and hurriedly shouted: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!" β
Ma Yue couldn't wait to slap this stupid big man on the back of the head, kicking the enemy in front of him, and shouting with his head high: "Fart, where the hell do we still have help...... Jiang Xu? β
Just the moment when he kicked the enemy in front of him, he saw that the enemy army was indeed rushing from the north of the city behind the roaring Liangzhou army, especially the several Liangzhou military attachΓ©s who were charging in front of the Xuanxi armor were very conspicuous, and the first person held the spear behind the sergeant holding the Jiang banner, and there was no one else except Jiang Xu. Ma Yue couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the enemy army was just rushing to attack the eastern wall?
Then, just as Ma Yue hesitated, a group of Liangzhou troops also rushed from the south wall of the city, led by the military attache wearing a Liangzhou armor and only revealing a pair of eyes, holding both hands with sabers and murderous spirits, and a 10,000-character flag fluttering in the wind behind him.
Who else could there be if it wasn't for the defender of the south of the city, Wanning?
All of a sudden, the three guards gathered on the east city wall, leaving only Yang Aruo, who was guarding the west of the city and no one attacking.
A fresh force joined the battlefield, which suddenly made the momentum of the Black Mountain army invincible, and the enemy army was killed by the three parties, not to mention that several generals worked together, and they grabbed half of the city in dozens of breaths.
What made Ma Yue even more excited was still behind, and the sound of singing gold came from the enemy camp at this time, and the enemy troops under the city retreated like a tide, and the Montenegrin army guarding the head of the city was also killed by the Liangzhou army to the corner of the city wall. The tide of battle changed dramatically in an instant. The Liangzhou army, which was squeezed so that it could only form a formation on the steps, was like a fierce tiger, and one by one the Black Mountain army fell at their feet, and the Liangzhou people never knew what mercy was for the enemy, and they dropped their swords and axes to stop the wailing of the injured and fallen enemy.
It is not a mercy to put an end to the suffering of the enemy.
More Montenegrin troops were forced to the side of the city stampe, the robe in front kept retreating, and the back had lost their military heart and were frightened by the crazy Liangzhou army, and climbed down the city along the ladder and hook rope, and more sergeants were directly squeezed down the city by the right army retreating in front, and fell down the city with the last wail.
In the end, only more than 100 Montenegrin troops remained in the city, and they could not fight any longer, and the Liangzhou army, which was surrounded by regiments, could only retreat step by step.
By this time, the Liangzhou army was no longer engaged with them in close quarters, and they were holding battle axes to force them to retreat step by step, and the sergeants who climbed down the ladder next to the city stomp could not compare to the steps back. The people in front were afraid that the swords and axes of the Liangzhou army were pushing back hard, and the people in the back were afraid of falling off the city and turning over and squeezing backwards towards the city, but even if they were holding the city stomp with both hands, how much strength could they have, where could they compare to the strength of dozens of sergeants retreating backwards.
I could only howl and fall down the city.
There is a second one, the Liangzhou army laughed and forced the Montenegrin army to jump down one by one, in fact, everyone knows that the current city head may not fall to death, no one dares to fall at such a high distance!
Finally, the last Black Mountain army in the city was forced by Wang Shuang's short sword to turn his back to them and plan to jump down, and then he was kicked down by Wan Ning.
The generals looked at each other and smiled, and the Liangzhou army that lived for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe also hugged their robes. The hard defense of the city was over, which meant they could survive one more night.
Ma Yue looked at the enemy camp with a smile on his face, and then saw a scene that made his hair blow up, "Withdraw the city...... Come on! β
This is almost the most heart-rending cry Ma Yue has ever made.
He saw on the opposite side of the hill a number of catapults that were so huge that they looked like monstrous beasts had been wound.
With the screaming sound of the boulders flying, dozens of boulders flew up from the ground and shot towards the eastern city wall......
