Chapter 9: The Siege of the Slave Army
"The lord, the last general is incompetent, not only failed to take the Mayi, but also lost the army, please surrender the lord. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ma Chao took Ma Dai and Ma Tie to see Lu Bu, knelt on one knee, and said hoarsely.
In the past three days, Ma Chao's life has not been easy, in order to find a way to break the gate of Ma Yi, he has used all the methods he can think of, but unfortunately, Zhang He guarded the city without leaking, and with the assistance of Frustration, Ma Chao could not cross the thunder pool for half a step.
"Military law has always been the most important thing in our army, and since you have made a military order in advance, you deserve to be punished! Come on, blow twenty with a rod! Lu Bu sat on the handsome seat and said coldly.
"Lord!" Ma Dai hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "The eldest brother did not slack off in this battle, but we miscalculated the strength of the enemy army and failed to break the enemy as promised, and I hope that the lord will show mercy." ”
Pang De also bowed down and said: "Lord, now that the war is imminent, it is the time to employ people, why don't you exempt him from criminal responsibility and let him make meritorious contributions?" ”
"Hit, the mighty sea, report the number!" Lu Bu's eyes were indifferent, and he said sharply.
"Whoa!" The two hussars stepped forward, directly removed Ma Chao's armor, turned the spear in their hands, and hit Ma Chao's back with the barrel of the gun.
"One~two~three~"
With the rough voice of the majestic sea, the two guns kept slapping on Ma Chao's back, the hussar guard, as Lu Bu's personal guard, was not only strong, but also no one's account would buy, at this moment, there was really no mercy, Rao was Ma Chao's physique, less than ten rods, the back had been beaten red, twenty rods down, and Ma Chao was almost fainted.
Ma Chao was also stubborn and never said a word.
Lu Bu's expression was always indifferent, he waved his hand, and the accompanying medical officer hurriedly stepped forward to give medicine to Ma Chao, Lu Bu sat on the handsome chair, and said in a deep voice: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can not be defeated in a hundred battles, insight into the enemy's situation, and clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and me, this is the first thing that the general should consider, the general is the soul of the three armies, a wrong decision of yours may ruin the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers under your command, I can spare you today, but the heroic souls of the dead soldiers, who will appease them?" ”
Looking at everyone, Lu Bu said sharply: "Saying this today, I also hope that everyone will not be blind and arrogant, every time you make a decision, think about the burden on your body, your relationship, but the net worth and life of countless sons, if you lose tens of millions of sons because of blind confidence or a wrong decision, then you are killed on the battlefield, and you are not worthy of being called heroes!" ”
Ma Chao touched the ground with his forehead and said hoarsely: "The last general will follow the teachings." ”
"Send him down to rest." Looking at Ma Chao's pale face, Lu Bu's tone softened slightly, and said to the military doctor: "With all the medicinal materials, don't worry about wasting them, let him get better as soon as possible." ”
"Yes." The accompanying medical officer hurriedly stepped forward to take the order, recruited several medical staff, and helped carry Ma Chao back to the camp.
"Zhang He, frustrated." After seeing Ma Chao leave, Lu Bu leaned on the back of the chair and narrowed his eyes: "Let me see how capable the two of them are, and order the three armies to repair one day today, and prepare to attack the city early tomorrow morning!" ”
"The last will obey." Pound and the others said solemnly.
At the same time, the arrival of Lu Bu's army, the vast joint venture, coupled with the sense of oppression brought by Lu Bu's personal conquest, made the soldiers of Mayi City frightened, not to mention ordinary soldiers, it was Zhang He, who was the main general, and he was also a little depressed at the moment, Ma Chao was already so strong, that Lu Bu moved to the northwest, and the mighty grassland, not to mention that it was easy to match, on the other hand, in Mayi City, the reinforcements did not know when they would arrive, and the 30,000 army did not know how long they could hold it.
"Jun Yi Mo wants to see how powerful Lu Bu is, he can crisscross the grassland and the northwest, that is because of the terrain limitations, Lu Bu is unparalleled in cavalry, but the siege of the city may not be strong, otherwise it will not be driven out of the Central Plains by Cao Cao at the beginning, we only need to guard the city, then Lu Bu has great ability, and I don't want to cross the thunder pool one step." The more unfavorable the situation, as a strategist, he must ensure that his mind is calm, since Lu Bu has arrived, fear is also a little redundant, surrender is naturally impossible, then the rest is only a battle.
"The military advisor is open-minded." Zhang He lifted his spirits, and then smiled bitterly.
Early the next morning, 50,000 slave soldiers under the urging of generals at all levels, carrying siege equipment, began to attack Mayi, Lu Bu ordered Pang De, Ma Dai, Liao Hua, Ma Tie four people to lead the army to supervise the battle, 50,000 slave soldiers under the pressure of the warlord, launched a death charge towards the city wall.
"Shoot the arrows!" At the head of Ma Yi City, Zhang He looked at the chaotic formation of the enemy army, and frowned slightly, it was not that the other party was so powerful, on the contrary, these troops looked so weak and pitiful that they couldn't even maintain the basic formation, so they screamed and launched an attack on the city wall.
"Hum~"
A rain of arrows fell, and a large number of slave soldiers were killed by the clusters of arrows falling from the city like mowing grass.
"Archer, suppress!" In the rear, the elite archers of all races who pressed the slave soldiers up launched an attack, and the crossbow began to rain arrows on the city wall, so that the defenders at the head of the city could not kill the slave soldiers with impunity.
What's going on?
On the city wall, Zhang He dialed the cluster of arrows that were shot, and looked at the archers who appeared behind the opponent, these troops were more than one grade stronger than the charging troops, and the military formation made it clear, more importantly, these people did not care about the life or death of the soldiers in front of them, but just poured arrow rain on the city, and let the army in front of them fall down in pieces under the wanton blows of their own archers, and a Hebei soldier shot an arrow, and before he could take another arrow, a crossbow arrow that broke through the air shot directly through his chest.
An enemy soldier took advantage of this gap to climb the city wall, Zhang He clearly felt that there was no slightest war intent in the eyes of this soldier, there was only a kind of despair and madness, almost he went up by himself, and suddenly fell into the dense gun forest.
Bring about one's own destruction!?
Zhang He was a little confused, what happened to Lu Bu's soldiers?
"Quick, press down, knock down their ladder!" Don't think about this, Zhang He angrily commanded the soldiers to drive down the slave soldiers who had just emerged, but although these slave soldiers had no intention of fighting, they were not afraid of death, and after coming up, some of them attacked the surrounding soldiers without their lives, but more of them were like the warrior just now, screaming at what Zhang He didn't understand, and rushed towards a group of people with open hands.
At the same time, Zhang He also found that most of these people have vegetables, as if they have not eaten for a long time.
"Quick, kill it, if one person escapes, the whole team will be killed, one team will escape, all the main battalions will be killed, one battalion will escape, you won't come back!" Under the city, far away from a stone's throw away, Ma Dai, Ma Tie, Pang De, and Liao Hua led people to gallop on horseback, walking around the city, as long as they saw someone retreating, it was a rain of arrows shot over, killing all the people around, and the archers behind them were not just suppressing the crossbow arrows at the head of the city, but more to prevent these slave soldiers from crashing in fear of death.
"These are the Huns!" Frustration rushed to Zhang He's side and smiled bitterly at Zhang He: "The real elites are in the rear, and they haven't come up at all, Lu Bu wants to rely on these slave soldiers to exhaust the sharp energy of our army, and when our army is exhausted, I'm afraid it will be time for those elites to make a move." ”
"Hiss~" When Zhang He heard this, he couldn't help but gasp: "What a ruthless method!" ”
"I heard that Lu Bu designated the Xiongnu and Xianbei people as slaves in the Hetao and even the grassland, these people are probably the slaves of those Xiongnu and Xianbei people, and Lu Bu doesn't care about their casualties at all." Fu Zhu looked in the direction of Lu Bu's Chinese army banner and said in a deep voice.
"Strategist, what should I do?" Hearing this, Zhang He looked at Fu Zhi. It was the first time he had encountered such a crazy army, and these people had become so numb that they didn't care about the lives of their companions, and the death of the robe could not affect them at all.
"Let go and fight, and then bring all the fire oil stored in the warehouse, since Lu Bu wants to give us a reputation, we don't have to be polite to him." Fu Yu snorted coldly and sneered.
Zhang He heard this, hurriedly went to do it, after a while, a jar was sealed with fire oil jar was moved up, under the command of Zhang He, a jar of the altar was not stingy to throw down to the crowded place, the archers who had already been the arrows with fire oil will ignite the rocket to shoot at the city, for a time, the flames under the city of Mayi were monstrous, clusters of flames spread into a monstrous fire in an instant, countless Hun slave soldiers screamed and rolled on the ground, the fear of the flame of the creatures overwhelmed the fear of Lu Bu, many Huns began to run back frantically, There were even many people who faced each other with swords towards the Warlords.
"Mingjin!" In the rear, Lu Bu frowned, and ordered, these 50,000 slave soldiers are used to attack the city, not to fight with themselves, and at the same time, he can't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this method, he has used it many times, but he didn't expect it to be used against himself today, this feeling is quite strange.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~"
In the desolate sound of the horn, the warlord no longer blocked the slave soldiers, and began to guide the slave soldiers to retreat.
"How?" Lu Bu glanced in the direction of the city wall and turned his head to look at Jia Xu.
"The generals who defend the city are quite familiar with the way of defending the city, and it can be said that it is not leaky." Jia Xu praised, and then smiled: "But people, there will always be times when they are negligent." ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, people will always be negligent." "Especially when the mind is high, the longer it takes, the more likely it is to make mistakes.
"Tell all the armies to stop here today, and in addition, send a few waves of men and horses to bang the gong for them in the evening, so that they can be vigilant and don't accidentally walk into the water." Lu Bu turned his head and said to everyone.
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, and they didn't understand what Lu Bu meant by this? Isn't it uncomfortable to let the enemy tighten his guard?
Lu Bu didn't explain much, just asked people to do it, and he took Jia Xu back to the camp to rest, and the generals were helpless, but a few people who followed Lu Bu at the earliest vaguely guessed Lu Bu's thoughts. (To be continued.) )
