Chapter 43: The Battle of Chengdu (8)
"Attack!" A loud voice rang out, and to his surprise, it turned out to be a woman. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ma Yunlu heard a burst of drumming, and after the old general Huang Zhong led the army to retreat, he immediately issued an order to attack. After seeing it shouting, several catapults were pulled by the soldiers, throwing dozens of pounds of stones to the city wall of Chengdu, Ma Yunlu saw these meteor-like stones, his face showed a little fear, after all, it was a woman. After the catapult finished throwing stones, a group of Xiliang soldiers quickly rushed towards the Chengdu city wall. After the original battle of Pujiaguan, there are only about 5,000 Xiliang soldiers left under Ma Chao, but don't underestimate these 5,000 people, you must know that these people are soldiers who have survived many battles, and the combat experience is quite rich, and the combat effectiveness of the army is so strong that there is a faint tendency to surpass the Jingzhou soldiers. And after coming to Liu Bei, Liu Bei allocated a certain number of siege equipment to Ma Chao's army, plus a certain amount of siege experience, and now these soldiers are also very powerful in siege. Liu Bei then allocated the 5,000 soldiers who went to Pujia Pass with the military division to General Ma Chao, and General Ma Chao commanded them, and the addition of these soldiers greatly increased the combat effectiveness of Ma Chao's army.
At the east gate, 10,000 soldiers led by General Huang Lao as the first army took the lead in launching an attack on Chengdu City, and after the attack lasted for an hour, the casualties were also quite large. During this period, the three generals Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Yunlu have been observing at the forefront of the army, after all, this is a very good learning opportunity, and it will be their turn to their troops soon.
Yesterday, after discussing some matters of the siege battle, Ma Yunlu asked his eldest brother to hand over the task of leading the troops today, although Ma Chao did not agree at first, but then he really couldn't stand Ma Yunlu's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he finally agreed to his little sister's request, and the other point is also because there are no powerful generals in Chengdu now, and the danger is not great. However, after agreeing to Ma Yunlu's request, Ma Chao also kept admonishing his very favorite little sister, telling her that she must not leave her position tomorrow, and that she must not be at the forefront of the runway on a whim, and also instructed Ma Dai to follow Ma Yunlu all the time and protect her little sister at all times. Ma Yunlu was also reluctant in his heart when he heard that Ma Dai had been protecting him, but after seeing his eldest brother's non-negotiable tone, he could only agree silently.
Seeing the ladders set up again relying on the Chengdu city wall, one by one the soldiers rushed forward desperately, shouting, shouting, screaming, all kinds of sounds sounded frequently, constantly impacting Ma Yunlu, it may be that Ma Yunlu was born full of fighting factors, and after hearing these sounds, the frightened looks that appeared at the beginning of the battle disappeared without a trace after hearing these sounds, and instead of being replaced by some excitement on his face.
A few pounds of stones, dense bows and arrows, boiling hot oil, constantly pouring down from the city wall, soldiers on the ladder, soldiers under the city wall, soldiers rushing forward continue to fall, some are hit by arrows, some are hit by stones, and some are splashed with hot oil, all kinds of deaths, from a distance, very cruel.
Half an hour later, Ma Yunlu, who had been staying still, could no longer control his belligerence at this time, and jumped off his horse, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, like a soldier, he also rushed towards the city wall. When Ma Dai next to him saw it, he was so frightened that he was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Ma Yunlu would rush up, and then immediately remembered Ma Chao's admonition, and hurriedly got off the horse, picked up his big knife and shield and rushed forward after him.
Ma Dai's running speed was relatively fast, and after a while, he caught up with Ma Yunlu:
"Sister, your eldest brother won't let you do this, why don't you listen to your eldest brother." Ma Dai said after raising his shield to block one of the flying arrows.
Ma Yunlu saw Ma Dai running to his side, turned his head and said to him: "Let's see who is faster!" After speaking, he sped up the frequency of his feet, and the speed suddenly became a lot faster.
Ma Dai felt very helpless when he heard that Ma Yunlu not only didn't listen to his own words, but also had to compete with himself, thinking about what kind of errand the eldest brother had given him! However, he also quickened his pace at the moment, and followed Ma Yunlu towards the city wall.
Suddenly, a soldier who was running forward next to Ma Yunlu was shot by the enemy's arrow, and staggered towards Ma Yunlu. Because the arm holding the shield was supporting the soldier, he could only use the spear in the other hand to keep away the flying arrows, and Ma Yunlu had no intention of letting go of the soldier at all, and wanted to bandage him. At this time, Ma Dai came up from behind, hurriedly stood in front of Ma Yunlu, blocked the flying arrows for her, and hurriedly shouted:
"Leave him alone, there's no time for you to take care of the wounded on the battlefield, do you hear?"
Ma Yunlu's stubborn temper also came up at this time, regardless of Ma Dai's words, he still insisted on bandaging this wounded soldier, and Ma Dai was helpless to block the arrows that kept flying for her. After a while, it was simply bandaged, and Ma Yunlu let the soldier lie on the ground, and then picked up his shield and spear and rushed forward. Ma Dai also followed closely beside Ma Yunlu at this time, not daring to stay too far away from her.
In less than a moment, another soldier next to Ma Yunlu fell with an arrow, Ma Yunlu reached out to help, but was suddenly caught by Ma Dai next to him, and shouted loudly:
"Don't care about these wounded soldiers, can you take care of so many wounded soldiers! The battlefield is death, take care of yourself is the most important thing, those wounded soldiers will become a burden to you. ”
Ma Yunlu also knew that there was no time at this time, and it was impossible to take care of these wounded soldiers, but he watched these soldiers die beside him like this, and he had a feeling of pain in his heart, although he was warlike, he didn't like to kill. However, in the end, he obeyed General Ma Dai's words, and no longer cared about the wounded soldiers, but just rushed forward with his head bored, and at the same time, the depression in his heart could no longer be held back from his mouth.
