After Liu Qi was assassinated, he immediately wrote a letter to Zhang Lu according to Ma Hong's intentions, which wrote that Liu Qi would not care that Zhang Lu sent someone to assassinate him, and if Zhang Lu could open the city and surrender, Liu Qi would not be guilty of this matter. But Zhang Lu would not believe it, and told Liu Qi that he would not surrender with the closed city gate and a hundred bed crossbows erected on the city wall.

Won't you surrender? Ma Hong doesn't believe it! Didn't Zhang Lu in history surrender to Cao ****? Now that he does not surrender, it shows that Zhang Lu has not yet realized how big the gap between the enemy and us is, so Ma Hong has to show Zhang Lu how big the gap between the two sides is. So Ma Hong stopped the first wave of siege.

Eight trebuchets were fired at the city day and night, and all the houses near the city walls were smashed, and even the bed crossbows on the city tower were destroyed. In the face of this powerful trebuchet's attack, Zhang Lu's army could only be broken and beaten, and there was no chance to counterattack.

In November of the sixth year of Jian'an, Ma Hong sent people to faint with a boat in the five arrow towers made in Nanyang. The Wutai Arrow Tower is twenty-three meters high, two meters higher than the city wall of Nanzheng. For the first time, the Jingzhou army launched a charge against South Zhengcheng, and three weapons improved by Ma Hong, such as trebuchets, arrow towers, and big chong vehicles, attacked South Zhengcheng at the same time. Fortunately, Ma Hong studied civil engineering in his previous life, and the improved equipment was also successful. The walls of the southern city were extremely strong and difficult to break for a while.

On this day, Ma Hong suddenly recalled the story of Zhuge Liang going to attack the city in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Sima Yi's turtle couldn't shrink out, and Zhuge Liang loosened a matter of Sima Yi's female clothing. Although Sima Yi, the young turtle, didn't know where to go now, Ma Hong had a plan, so he sent someone to send Yang Ren a box, which contained a turtle and a female costume.

After Yang Ren Yang Ang and Xu Shu received the Hanfu sent by Ma Hong, Yang Ren was furious and almost beheaded the herald, under the persuasion of Xu Shu. Yang Rencai calmed his anger and gave Ma Hong a gift.

When Ma Hong opened the box sent by Yang Ren in front of the generals, the generals laughed, and the box contained women's underwear and young chickens. Ma Hong laughed and took out his underwear from the box, weighed it, and said: "Shu brocade is good, this pattern is good, and the fabric is also very good, I will bring it back to my wife." ”

Wei Yan grabbed the chick, opened it to see if it was a male or female, and said with a smile: "This chick is still a hen, and when it grows up, it can still lay eggs, but I don't know if this chick can break through Nanzheng City before it grows into a hen." ”

Ma Hong said with a smile: "Then you are good to live, before breaking through Nanzheng City, if the chickens are raised to death for you, I will ask you." ”

The next day, Ma Hong ordered the soldiers to erect a stage in front of the city tower, Ma Hong relied on the memory of his grandmother in his previous life to teach him to sing the Henan opera "Mu Guiying is in charge", taught the soldiers to sing, who expected that the loud voice Zhang Fei was particularly interested in Henan opera, and sang well, Ma Hong taught Zhang Fei to sing for a long time, Zhang Fei memorized the words, and was the first to sing on stage. The soldiers played drums and sang to help sing, and at this time Ma Hong remembered Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang also came, he would definitely be able to form a band, which would be more decent.

The rousing drums remembered. Zhang Fei roared, turned over three times in a row on the stage, and sang loudly: "The three cannons outside the gate are like thunder, and I will protect the country when I come out of Jingzhou Mansion." ”

"Good! Good! Good! “

"General Zhang sang well! There is momentum! ”

"The third brother sings well!"

"Fire! No! Lapidation! Wei Yan gave an order, and the three catapults threw three fireballs at the Nanzheng City Wall together.

"Wearing a golden crown and pressing the temples, I put on the iron armor of the year again. The word flag floated into the clouds, and the word "fly" shook the world. It is written on it, Hun Ah Hun Heavenly King, Zhang Yide ......"

Zhang Fei sing! Ma Hong and Thorn Plum's trio's only remaining Mei takes the stage!

A song of Huangmei Opera "Tianxian Pei" roared! In the final analysis, Huangmei Opera is simpler to sing than Henan Opera.

Mei: The birds in the trees are in pairs.

Ma Hong: Green waters and green mountains bring smiles

May: From now on, I will no longer suffer from that slavery

Ma Hong: Both husband and wife returned home

Mei: You plough the fields and I'll weave cloth

Ma Hong: I'll bring water to you to water the garden,

Mei: Although the cold kiln is broken, it can shelter from the wind and rain

Ma Hong: The love between husband and wife is bitter and sweet

Chorus: You and I are like mandarin ducks,

Flying in the world.

Ma Hong and the two sang and got off the stage, Huang Zhong couldn't wait to go on stage, and then suddenly, he yelled: "Drumming!" ”

Yang Ren, Yang Ang and Xu Shu, you look at me, I look at you, looking at how happy the Jingzhou army is, they were stunned for a while. Yang Ren touched his short beard and said, "Is this Jingzhou army crazy?" ”

At this time, Huang Zhong on the stage picked up his long beard, blew it, and then sang the Peking Opera "Dingjun Mountain" adapted by Ma Hong for him.

The military advisor speaks too badly,

Huang Zhong couldn't help but be angry.

Thirteen-year-old bow horse,

Weiming is guarded in Changsha.

A horse single-handedly fights against that Taishi Ziyi,

Great credit for cutting the level and winning the village,

The military master doesn't believe it, check it in the merit book.

It's not Huang Zhong's exaggeration.

(Ma Hong knocked on the Allegro)

The iron-tirened bow is in his hand,

Full of vermilion buckles,

The children under the tent are all boasting.

The second time I was busy with the strength of these two arms,

People have mental strength and increase.

Three times the bow of the autumn moon,

(Loose Plate)

Then I will answer with the master.

Yang Ren Yang Ang's martial arts are low,

It can be regarded as two stupid forks in Hanzhong.

Will sit on the lotus treasure,

Why is there a commotion outside the camp?

(White) Stay, the old man is eating cucumbers in the camp, Yang Ren is a stupid fork, and a letter tells me to shoot him! Tomorrow at noon at three o'clock with the old man to change horses. At that time, he first asked him to release the turtle Sun Xu Yuanzhi, and then let go of his cowardly brother Yang Ang. The old man Xi took a hundred steps through Yang and shot the turtle Sun and the cowardly bag to death. Yang Ren my son, if you don't come, if you come, the old man will slash you with a knife!

[Ma Hong knocks the board]

This epistle came by coincidence,

Help me Huang Zhong succeed.

Standing at the gate of the camp the three armies called,

Big and small Lang listen to the root seedlings:

The head is drummed, and the war rice is made;

two drums, tight robes;

Three-way drum, knife out of the sheath;

Four-way drums, put the front.

All of them are rewarded,

Fall back and eat a knife on the neck.

So I and I returned to the camp,

[Loose board] by three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Yang Ren and Yang Ang stood on the city tower and chopped their feet angrily, Huang Zhong scolded Yang Ang for being a coward, scolded Xu Shu for being a turtle grandson, and scolded Yang Ren for being a son, Xu Shu was angry and could hold back, but Yang Ren and Yang Ang's stomach fire rose, and they couldn't wait to fight with Huang Zhong.

After Huang Zhong finished singing, he walked off the stage, and all the soldiers applauded loudly, and then began to say in unison: "The old man is eating cucumbers in the camp, Yang Ren is a stupid fork, and a letter tells me to shoot him!" Tomorrow at noon at three o'clock with the old man to change horses. At that time, first ask him to release the turtle Sun Xu Yuanzhi......"

Huang Zhong laughed and approached the city gate and said loudly to the city wall: "Yang Ren my son, Xu Shu turtle grandson, Yang Ang Bao, you dare to fight with me Huang Zhong." ”

Yang Ang said angrily: "Old horseman, you wait, Lao Tzu will cut off your head and use it for the night!" ”

"Bag, you'll blow! You go on blowing! ”

Yang Ang raised his knife and wanted to go out of the city to fight Huang Zhong, Xu Shu stopped Yang Ang and said: "General Yang, this is the enemy's strategy, you should be steady, don't fall for the enemy's plan." ”

Yang Ang was furious and said: "That bad boss dares to scold me, watch me go down and cut him!" ”

Yang Ren also raised his knife and said: "But I heard that Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning are fierce generals in the Jingzhou army, but who is Huang Zhong, the old horseman, I have never heard of it, but I can let Yang Ang go to meet him, if he is killed, he will definitely be able to suppress the momentum of the Jingzhou army!" ”

"I see that the Jingzhou army expects that I will not dare to fight! That's why it's so loud! If I go head-to-head with Huang Zhong, the old man will be scared to the point of urine! Yang Ang said angrily, his eyes were red, he couldn't bear to be insulted by Huang Zhong like this.

"Strategist, you have been in Jingzhou for a long time, have you ever heard of Huang Zhong, an old horseman, have you ever heard him fight Tai Shi Ci?"

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "It's just that I heard that he attacked Tai Shi Ci with Liu Pan's nephew and was defeated many times, but maybe this person's martial arts are very good." ”

"The city is stupid, and they don't dare to come down and fight! Veteran Huang Zhong, I went back to eat cucumbers. Huang Zhong sang, turned his head and left, muttering as he walked: What is the cucumber that the military advisor said.

"Humph! Look at the old man who has entered half of the loess, and is emaciated, look at me sending him into the loess! After Yang Ang finished speaking, he stepped on the guardrail of the city wall, pointed at Huang Zhong's nose and scolded: "Huang Zhong old horseman, do you dare to fight your grandfather Yang Ang alone?" ”

Huang Zhong turned his head and said to Yang Ren: "Grandpa Huang Zhong, I'll go back and lead the horse!" ”

Yang Ang stood at the head of the city and said loudly: "Okay, old horseman, I'm waiting for you!" ”
