Chapter Ninety-Six: Sacrificing Life for Righteousness

Fu Xie, whether he has great talent or not, Ma Yue doesn't know yet, but he knows that this burly man has a big background.

Descendant of Fu Jiezi, Marquis of Yiyang in the Western Han Dynasty, born in a middle-class wealthy family in Liangzhou, apprenticed to Liu Kuan, the imperial lieutenant, and filial piety in Beidi County.

Because the former Beidi Taishou Fan Jin, who recommended him as filial piety, died, he gave up his husband in Luoyang, and Ding returned worried.

With the gift of mourning parents.

Regardless of whether this person has great talent or not, Ma Yue thinks that Fu Xie is a good person. Besides, he must have heard this name in history, but he didn't know how high Fu Xie's ability was and what he had done.

Seeing that Fu Xie looks like a military general, he will be used as a military general for the time being.

Ma Yue and Guan Yu led 400 people to guard the north gate, followed by Fu Xie and Yang Feng Gutaer. Xianbei besieged the city, and the north gate bore the brunt.

Meng Qian and Meng Kun led 400 men to guard the West Gate.

Peng Tuo, Wang Wei, led 400 men to guard the south gate.

Dou Liang and Tian Yu led 400 people to guard the east gate.

Ma Play, Su Zhenghe and more than 200 people were on standby in the city.

This is the last person in the city, and Su Zhenghe was finally sent by Ma Yue to Fuping to ask for help and ask Huangfu Song for help.

The arsenals and grain depots had been emptied, and there were only enough rations for these people to eat for seven days.

There were less than 30,000 arrows, and each of them had eleven or twelve on them.

This is still the efforts of those craftsmen for a few hours, otherwise there will only be more than 10,000 arrows, and it will be even more difficult to defend the city.

Rolling stones and sassal wood were moved to the city, and Ma Yue saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance.

"Light a beacon fire."

This time, Ma Yue was no longer nervous and no longer afraid.

He found a little bit of a feeling of pessimism about life and death, just like the eight hundred old and weak, knowing that there was a possibility of life, gave up.

The Xianbei army dismounted in thousands of steps outside the city, and thousands of people were in the wilderness.

The Han army in the city lined up, with only 400 people, standing in a row behind the female wall, regardless of the atmosphere.

Ma Yue lost the long knife, holding the ring knife and the round shield, and he suddenly smiled when he looked at the Xianbei people under the city.

Everyone was puzzled, thinking that he had a strategy to break the enemy, Guan Yu asked, "Why is the county lieutenant laughing?" ”

Ma Yue said with a smile: "Happiness in suffering, we will sacrifice our lives for righteousness." ”

Fu Xie also smiled: "The county lieutenant is a young man, and he has such an open-minded mind, haha, I will sacrifice my life today to take righteousness." ”

The surrounding soldiers also smiled when they heard this, and the solemnity of the coming battle also dissipated a little in a whisper.

Even so, when the Xianbei people lined up in formation and carried the ladder to action, the Han army still seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and it was difficult to calm down.

Fu Xie changed into leather armor and stood on Ma Yue's right, holding a longbow, and on his left were Gu Ta'er and Yang Feng with a big axe.

Guan Yu commanded the soldiers on the other side of the city tower to place the rolling wood and stones on the city wall.

Seeing that the Xianbei people were divided into three teams and scattered, Ma Yue immediately ran to the inner side of the city wall and shouted to the herald under the city gate: "Xianbei encircles three queyi!" ”

The Han army waiting under the city immediately stepped on their horses and ran towards the three gates.

Fu Xie asked, "County Lieutenant, do you want to shoot three arrows?" ”

Ma Yue nodded, he was not good at archery, and when he saw Fu Xie carrying a longbow, he said, "Brother Fu, you come and shoot three arrows." ”

The so-called three arrows are the three arrows that Dou Liang first shot to calculate the distance when he was defending the city, Ma Yue didn't understand these, but he had seen it in a book.

The ancients could not accurately measure the wind speed, the effect of temperature deviation on the archer's head, they had their own set of measurement methods.

After Ma Yue's answer, he saw Fu Xie set up his horse next to the battlement, took out the arrow from the arrow and put it on the battlement, and the long arm lightly stretched the longbow at 45 degrees and raised his head to shoot an arrow, and then the rapid speed was another arrow, and then another arrow.

When the third arrow was fired, the first arrow had not yet landed.

Strictly speaking, this was Ma Yue's first time defending the city, and rushing directly to the city to kill the enemy was completely different from watching thousands of enemies stride with cloud ladders on their backs.

However, what made him mentally balanced was that this was also Guan Yu's first time defending the city.

The heroic martial saint was also inevitably nervous at this moment, and the clenched teeth and the green tendons on his forehead made Ma Yue feel an alternative pleasure in his heart.

Fight side by side with the Martial Saint and grow together with the Martial Saint.

The Xianbei people got closer and closer, and their pace became faster and faster, and finally, when they were about to reach the distance of three arrows, they ran.

The Han army in the city breathed heavier and faster.

Ma Yue's long knife pointed straight at him, and he roared in his mouth: "Kill them all!" Shoot! ”

Hundreds of arrows converged in the air and were thrown out, drawing an arc in the air and landing in the Xianbei siege formation.

This time, the Xianbei people did not tempt, and when they came up, the whole army was bet, and they were bound to win.

"Kill!"

"Shoot them!"

"Crossbowman, open the string and shoot the arrow!"

Guan Yu opened a strong bow, and if he didn't aim, he shot an arrow, and then took out another arrow and shot the bow.

Yang Feng Fu Xie's archery skills are superb, and there are almost no missed arrows, Ma Yue doesn't know if the two of them are aiming accurately or lucky, in short, the speed of fire of the two is fast.

Ma Yue untied his arrows and lined up a row on the battlements for the two of them to use.

He is not good at archery, these arrows are considered pearls in his hands, and they can be turned into murderous weapons in the hands of Yang Feng and Fu Xie.

The starting point of all goals is to kill all the enemies.

Although he understands that this is unlikely.

The arrow was getting closer and closer in his eyes, and Ma Yue suddenly raised the round shield in his hand.

"Doo!" With a bang, the arrow flying over the city was blocked by Ma Yue, who was short and shouted: "Hide! Defend against arrows! Archer press! ”

Ma Yue glanced at it, Yang Feng and Gu Ta'er were already hidden behind the battlements, only Fu Xie beside him was still holding a longbow and releasing arrows, turning over and rolling to his side, holding a shield to block his exposed body outside the battlements.

"Shoot, I'll cover you!"

Fu Xie smiled gratefully, continued to draw the bow, and waited for the longbow to shoot an arrow with both hands raised and pressed, and then loaded the arrow again.

In a short period of time, Fu Xie had already shot his own arrows into the air, more than ten arrows, and Ma Yue hurriedly handed over his arrows.

More than a dozen arrows are not a small number.

Anyone who has shot arrows knows that this is a very depleting thing of muscle and physical strength, and more than ten arrows are shot in a row in a few breaths, and in Ma Yue's cognition, only candidates who are proficient in archery can barely do it.

It's not just about strength, it's about flexibility and physical strength.

The Xianbei people under the city continued to shoot arrows directly at the head of the city, and the shield held by Ma Yue also kept making a soft 'doo' sound.

This guy has great talent.

Squinting his eyes, Ma Yue looked at Fu Xie's burly body and thought.

"Bang!" With a bang, the ladder slapped on the city head in front of Ma Yue, and the huge force slapped down the large pieces of dirt on the battlements.

The sooner the horse was prepared, he abandoned his big shield and ran to the other side of the city wall, and lifted a long pole that was the thickness of a human bowl.

"Gutar!"

"In!"

Gu Taer, Yang Feng, Ma Yue, Fu Xie, and several Han soldiers held this long pole together and stood on the edge of the ladder.

"Ahh

A group of men were suffocating their faces red, their muscles bulging under their leather armor, and they pushed the ladder away from the city wall.

The same thing happened all over the city.

The Xianbei people have no siege vehicles, no ladder vehicles, only simple ladders, and the bottom is not fixed.

"Push it down!"

"Ahh

"Die!"

The Xianbei people struggled to climb to the end of the ladder, only to find that the ladder was already several meters away from the city wall.

As gravity tilted backwards, the Xianbei let out a frightened cry.

"Don't!"

The ladder was knocked down, and the Xianbei man on the ladder fell to the ground.
