Ma Tie said: "This is strange... ”

"Yuan Xi has no plan, why did he take out 150,000 stone grain? As far as I know, he has already captured the state and doesn't need to contain Cao Cao anymore, right? "Ma Tie is thoughtful.

"My brother's words are wrong." Ma Chao said: "After Yuan Xi pacified Hebei, the first enemy was Cao Cao, and he helped us to cut Cao, which was equivalent to cutting Cao himself." Why not? ”

"Meng Qi's words are very much in line with my wishes."

Ma Teng stopped the dispute between Ma Chao and Ma Tie, and said to Han Sui next to him: "The soldiers of the righteous brother's department were originally elite foot soldiers, and the war horses that were equipped later, this battle will be carried out by the righteous brother's department, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

"Willing to be sent." Han Sui said without hesitation.

Five days later.

The 350 fishing boats, merchant ships, and civilian ships have been prepared and docked on the west bank of the Wei River.

Han Sui selected 2,500 armor soldiers, plus about 1,000 other departments, a total of more than 3,000 people, boarded the ship and set sail, and sailed towards the opposite side. Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Tie, Han Sui, etc., were all on the boat, determined to take the Weihe defense line with all their might.

"Rush over..."

Han Sui shouted sharply.

Once the boat has set sail, speed up the rowing.

On the opposite shore were Cao Ren's military formations, arrow towers, and crossbow carts, aimed at the rushing ships, and the arrows were wound and ready to go.

"Shield!"

Ma Chao shouted as he stood on the deck.

The shield soldiers, who had been prepared, rushed to the front and protected all the soldiers.

The distance is getting closer...

Three hundred meters!

Two hundred meters!

100 meters!

Cao Ren drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Release the arrows, don't let them come!" ”

Whoosh...

Thousands of archers stationed on the shore fired arrows at the ships ahead.

Arrows fell like rain in the sky.

Bell, bell, bell...

Most of the arrows hit the shield, making a piercing sound, but the strength of the shield was enough to resist the shooting of the bow and arrow, and it was absolutely impossible for Cao Ren to rely on ordinary bows and arrows to block the advance of the Xiliang army.

"Cao Ren, you will only hide on the shore and release arrows, which is a rat. Dare to duel me? Ma Chao shouted.

"If you want to duel with me, go to Chang'an City, I'm afraid that your Xiliang army won't be able to cross the Wei River, hahaha..." After Cao Ren laughed, he continued to shout: "Release the arrow, release the arrow!" ”

"Crossbow ready! Put! ”

Whoosh...

The ballista fired a dozen javelins, each hitting the ship. The soldiers on the ship resisted with their shields, but they were easily crushed. One of the boats, shot twice under the deck, had a loophole, and the water in the river was pouring into the cabin.

"It's water, it's water..." The Xiliang army was in chaos.

"Don't panic, keep charging! The enemy is close at hand, and if we rush through it, we will win! Han Sui shouted.

Clang!

Suddenly, a spear flew and hit Han Sui with a thousand momentum. Ma Chao, who was standing next to Han Sui, drew his sword and swung it, knocking the javelin out a few feet away: "Uncle, don't worry, as long as I can cross the Wei River, I will capture and kill Cao Ren!" ”

"Hmm."

Ma Chao's bravery is well-known in the Xiliang army, and it is rumored that his bravery is no less than that of Lu Bu.

Han Sui knew Ma Chao's ability and said: "There are still fifty meters left, and we will reach the opposite bank." This is the closest we have come to enemy forces. Order the soldiers, don't let the arrows go, hold the shield well, and hold on! ”

"Yes."

Ma Chao gave orders.

Fifty meters away, it doesn't sound like a long distance, and it takes less than a minute to rush through. But within a minute, the ship will be attacked by countless javelins, boulders, and arrows, and the soldiers will also walk ten thousand times before the gate is closed.

Cao Ren didn't panic at all, and waved his hand behind him: "Transfer another thousand sergeants, stationed on the embankment, and wait for the enemy to kill, be sure to hold it!" They will not be able to fight long on the river, and they will not be able to fight for a long time, but they will retreat if they hold out for an hour. ”

Roar, roar, roar...

The soldiers of the Cao army were also highly motivated, and they acted quickly according to Cao Ren's orders.

"Kill..."

Han Sui and Ma Chao's Xiliang army quickly rushed to the opposite bank.

But they could not get to the shore, because there was a levee on the shore, which was two feet high, and they had to climb up the levee to get to the shore. This is even more difficult than crossing the Wei River just now, and if you can't climb it up, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties if you are fired by the enemy's arrows.

"Meng Qi, the embankment built by the enemy army is two zhang high, which is equivalent to some of our cities in Xiliang, and there is no ladder, so you can't climb up." Han Sui frowned tightly.

"What does Uncle suggest?" Ma Chao asked.

"It's better to retreat to the other side first, and then attack after we have enough ladders!"

"What?" Ma Chao hurriedly said: "We finally rushed here, how can we return in vain?" ”

"But what now?"

"Uncle, don't worry, wait for me to lead 500 soldiers and rush up the embankment. Hmph, I don't believe it, the embankment built by Cao Ren can be stronger than the city? Ma Chao took a silver spear from the hands of the soldiers behind him.

"Meng Qi is certainly brave, but this embankment..." Han Sui was worried that Ma Chao would have an accident.

It must be known that in Xiliang, Ma Chao's prestige has surpassed Han Sui and Ma Teng. The leaders of the Qiang tribes also only serve Ma Chao and call Ma Chao General Tianwei. If Ma Chao is ill, not only will the Qiang people rebel, but the morale of the Xiliang army will be frustrated, and Xiliang will be in danger.

Thinking of this, Han Sui said, "You can't go, follow me back to the other side." ”

"Uncle..."

"Drive him away!"

Han then called two personal soldiers.

"Humph!" Ma Chao glared at them and obediently hid aside.

"Uncle, you can't retreat at this time."

"If you are wounded, our army will be in chaos! DID YOU KNOW... Cao Ren is waiting for you to climb the embankment at this moment. We must not fall for him. It's better to go first. Han Sui has made up his mind.

"Uncle, eldest brother, don't argue, if you continue to argue, I'm afraid of making Cao Ren laugh." Ma Tie pointed ahead.

I saw Cao Ren standing on the embankment and laughing: "Ma Chao, Han Sui, have you finished talking nonsense, do you dare to attack my embankment?" If you want to fight, come here, don't be like a girl, grinding and chirping. ”

"Lie to me too much!"

Ma Chao raised his silver spear and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and rushes to the embankment!" ”

"Kill..." Most of the soldiers present were Han Sui's, but as soon as Ma Chao roared, the soldiers attacked frantically and ignored Han Sui completely. The army abandoned the ship and landed and ran towards the top of the embankment.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Cao Ren repeated his old trick and ordered the archers to shoot.

Bell, bell, bell...

Ma Chao rushed to the front, and the silver spear danced to fend off the arrows.

With his keen reflexes, he was always able to dodge arrows.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Cao Ren personally bent his bow and arrows and shot at Ma Chao, but he also missed.

"Kill..." Han Sui saw that the incident was irreversible and also ordered a charge.

The remaining 2,500 Xiliang troops rushed to the embankment.

Arrows were being fired on both sides, and there were heavy casualties.
