Chapter 254: Attack on Shaxian
The river is still the same river, the river that has swallowed up countless lives, and the river that has given birth to countless lives.
The boat is no longer the boat he was on at the beginning, Ma Hong stood on the deck facing the wind, looking at the river seriously, Sha Xian is about to arrive, when he followed Huang Zu and Sun Ce Zhou Yu in the Yangtze River near Sha Xian, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, it was the first major war he experienced in his life, and it was also the first fiasco, that war he completely saw how fragile life was, how ruthless the river was. Now he is standing on the side of this again, and is heading towards that city, Sha Xian.
Shaxian, this geographically important city, once you control this city, you can fight Guan Yu with Sun Quan in Jiangdong at any time, once you control this city, the tide of the battle in Jiangxia will be reversed in an instant.
Zhang Wei walked up to Ma Hong with a bowl of carp soup, held it in both hands and handed it to Ma Hong and said, "Teacher, please drink soup." ”
Ma Hong nodded, took the fish soup and said, "Zhang Wei, do you know how the carp crossed the dragon gate?" ”
Zhang Wei pondered for a while, he knew the story of the carp jumping over the dragon gate, but he didn't know how the carp crossed the dragon gate, so he replied very honestly: "Back to the teacher, the students don't know." ”
Ma Hong smiled slightly, he asked Zhang Wei just to let Zhang Wei say two words, so that he could continue to speak, and say the sentence he wanted to say in his heart: "The carp jumps over the dragon gate, it is to jump over the sea of fire above his head with all his strength, if it succeeds, it will become a dragon, if it fails, it will become the fish soup in this bowl." ”
Zhang Wei never felt disgusted when he heard Ma Hong speak, because he was always too interesting to talk about.
"Now I am this carp, no, to be precise, it is a frog that is a little stronger than a carp, once I jump over the dragon gate, I am a dragon, Sha Xian is very important, we must take it."
Ma Hong blew on the fish soup, then took a small sip and said slowly to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "The student knows, the student will let the two generals, Ma Yu and Cheng Yi, cheer up and are about to land." ”
Ma Hong smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid the two of them won't be able to keep their spirits!" The men of Xiliang are really useless on this water! ”
As soon as Cheng Yi and Ma Dong boarded the warship, they were dizzy, and Ma Yu vomited so much that he stayed in the cabin and didn't dare to come out.
Two hours later, Ma Hong's army landed in front of Shaxian City, as Ma Hong expected, there were no defenders outside Shaxian City, to be precise, Liu Ye and Pang De's attack attracted Jiangxia's garrison, Ma Hong went down the Yangtze River and was not discovered by the enemy.
After 15,000 sailors landed on the shore, 500 blood troops and more than 300 ghost guards took the lead in landing with Zhang Wei around Ma Hong, Ma Hong ordered the standard-bearer to wave the flag, and Zhang Wei took the lead in attacking Shaxian City with 5,000 troops who had just landed on the bank of the river.
The defenders of Shaxian City suddenly saw the soldiers pressed towards the city gate, and they were all greatly panicked, and hurriedly closed the city gate, wanting to stop Ma Hong's army.
Ma Hong and Ma Wan led the Chinese army to walk, and Ling Chengyi led 3,000 troops to the palace to escort the warship.
"Siege the city with all your might! There is no forgiveness for those who retreat! Rush!!! ”
Zhang Wei shouted loudly.
The flag officer waved the green flag vigorously, and the drummer beat the war drum!
Boom!! Boom!! Knock knock!! Boom! Boom! Knock knock!!
Shouts!!
The vanguard marched towards Shaxian City with neat steps! When the soldiers in the city saw this scene, they were so frightened that they had no master, and the defenders had already gone to inform the chief general of the city, but the main general had not yet arrived, and the vanguard army had arrived under the city of Shaxian.
The Shaxian defenders, without the command of a general, began to shoot arrows at the vanguard army under the orders of the hundred commanders defending the city!
The vanguard marched forward with neat steps, and when it stepped into the range of the enemy!
Zhang Wei raised his sword high and shouted, "Rush! ”
The big drummer beats the drums of war!
Knock knock!! Knock knock!! Knock knock!!
The drums instantly became fast, and the big drummers beat the war drums desperately and rhythmically! The momentum is earth-shattering! Inspired by the sound of drums, the vanguard army braved the rain of arrows and rushed towards the gate of Shaxian City!
"Oh my God! With so many soldiers, how can we hold the gates of the city with insufficient manpower! The soldiers in the city began to panic.
"Don't be afraid! Hold! The hundred-man commander commanded, but a few of the recruits left their bows and arrows and weapons and fled to the city.
The hundred people shouted angrily, and an arrow was shot at those soldiers, and one soldier was killed, and the rest of the soldiers still fled, and if one soldier fled, there would be a soldier who fled, and once the soldiers began to flee, the morale of the army began to slacken, and the morale would completely collapse, and more than three hundred defenders in the city fled in less than a cup of tea.
Only the captain of a hundred people with a few veterans resisted!
"Run! Run! ”
"I can't stand it!"
"The general is no more! Why do we have to work hard! ”
"It's better to open the city gate and surrender!"
"General Ma and I are still fellow countrymen, General Ma has always loved civilians, he won't do anything to me."
The eyes of the hundred people were red, and he slashed to death the soldier who said that he was a fellow villager with Ma Hong, and shouted: "Those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”
Ma Hong had already led the main army into Shaxian City at this time, and saw the enemy army on the city wall from a distance, and even killed each other, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that there are indeed not many enemy soldiers, Zhuge Liang, you miscalculated." ”
Ma play's face has changed a lot at this time, once he goes ashore to listen to the exciting drums, and looks at the scene of the fight, the blood in his heart boils, and the tiredness in his body disappears in an instant, and he holds the saber in his hand and says to Ma Hong: "Lord, I'll go too!" ”
"It's enough for so many people to besiege one city gate! General, you'd better rest first! ”
With the Shaxian city gate being broken, Zhang Wei rushed into the city with 4,000 soldiers to clear and kill the enemy soldiers in the city, leaving 500 soldiers to control the city gate, and 500 soldiers stood in front of the city gate to fight in two rows, holding high halberds and cheering to welcome Ma Hong into the city!
Ma Hong stationed the army outside the city, and played with Ma and entered the city with 2,000 soldiers.
"Haha! Did you see the horse play? This bluestone road was built here in the first place. Ma Hong pointed to the bluestone road and laughed at the horses, Ma Hong won Shaxian City in one fell swoop, and his heart was extremely happy and excited.
"The lord also used to garrison Shaxian City!" The horse jokingly replied.
"It's a long story, many years ago, stationed in this Shaxian City, with Huang Zu and Sun Ce doing a tough battle, I built this Shaxian defense, but unfortunately it was a water war, and the defense was useless, and the defenses outside the city were built by me at the beginning." Ma Hong is in a good mood.
"Hehe, these defenses can be used by us now." The horse joked.
Ma Hong nodded and smiled: "I hit a tree many years ago, and now it can be used to enjoy the shade!" Ha ha! ”
Ma Yu looked at this lord, a young talent, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that I have to take this opportunity to get close to the lord, and I may be able to climb higher in the future.
Suddenly, the shouting in the center of the city seemed to be louder.
Ma Hong said lightly: "Why, the shouting and killing in the center of the city is so loud, is the enemy still dying and struggling?" ”
"It stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a fierce resistance at this time!" Ma Yu replied.
Ma Hong smiled lightly and said, "Let's go, although I will kill those thieves!" ”
"No!" The horse played with Ma Hong towards the center of the city.
The war horse walked more than ten meters, and Ma Yu's face changed, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed the reins of Ma Hong's war horse and said, "Lord, don't move forward anymore, I think something is wrong." ”
"The general is too worried!" Ma Hong said.
"That's not right! Murderous aura! There must be a lot of enemy troops in the city! Ma Yu frowned and said with a cautious expression.
"Master, I feel it too." Li Yu said.
At this moment, suddenly two groups of enemy troops came out of the house and killed Ma Hong's army!
