"Rescue Kong Beihai?" Ma Han's expression of "surprise" was actually expected.
"Yes, that's what my mother meant. When Cibei traveled, there were many Kong envoys at home to take care of him. Now the yellow scarf is surrounded by Duchang, Kong makes Jun in trouble, and the family will repay this kindness, and the city guards ...... "Tai Shi Ci is embarrassed on his face, and his heart is worried, after all, he is no longer the single-handedly ranger in the past, and his actions that have nothing to do with this battle must be approved by his boss, that is, Ma Han. However, for the sake of repaying his own kindness, it had an impact on the entire combat operation, which made Tai Shici extremely uneasy.
"The husband has clear grievances, if there is a kindness, he will repay it, and if he has a grievance, Ziyi is a heroic man, how can he not repay it?" The horse is full of humility, and he looks like a caring big boss.
Seeing that the city guard did not mean to be harsh, Taishi Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Ci does not have the intention of affecting our army, if the city guard agrees, he is willing to ride alone, enter Changdu to meet Kong Envoy, and say that it is powerful, please be a general, and lead the Beihai County soldiers to defeat the thieves in order to relieve the siege of Beihai." ”
Ma Han smiled and said nothing, Tai Shici did this in history, but Kong Rongkong was full of scriptures, and his arguments were unhindered, but he didn't know anything about military affairs. is even less courageous, and resolutely refuses to allow Tai Shici's request. The only thing he trusted was reinforcements. The foreign monks will recite the scriptures, and finally let Tai Shici rush out of Duchang. Ask Liu Bei for help from Pingyuan. As a result, the 3,000 rescuers had not yet arrived, and the Yellow Turban thugs had already fled. is such a rabble, but it scares the dignified hole Beihai into peeing.
Ma Han knew that it would be difficult for Tai Shici to convince Kong Rong on this trip, but this was just right, what he wanted was that Kong Rong would not dare to fight, otherwise, how would he implement his plan? In the same way, he will definitely save Beihai, whether Tai Shici asks for it or not. It's just that Ma Han must wait for Tai Shici to bring it up. Then he made a general promise, so that it seemed that Tai Shi Ci owed him a favor. To subdue a person, it is not to bow down and finish the matter when the person's blood is up, but in the process, we must continue to show kindness, tie up righteousness, give favors, bind interests, and slowly consolidate. In the end, it will be completely returned. This kind of subordinate method, the gang knows best, and is also the best at playing.
"The thief army is besieging the city, and Ziyi is the important general of my White Wolf City. How can I go into danger alone, I will go with Ziyi. Ma Han smiled and pulled out the magic pupil bow, and the sun shone on the two stainless steel pulleys. Shining, "Last time the wolf was slaughtered." We haven't decided the winner yet, this time to kill the thief. It can be a big match. ”
Tai Shi Ci listened to the enthusiasm of the blood, and felt five inside, and couldn't help but hold the new bow in his hand - this is a five-stone pulley bow, earlier he used a four-stone strong bow, after adding the pulley, it saves three percent of effort. Now it is like playing with a five-stone bow and shooting a hundred arrows.
"Good! This time, it's more than seeing who shoots the thief. ”
From Huangxian to Duchang, through Xianguo, Qucheng, Yeguo, Dangli, Xiami counties, the journey is nearly 300 miles, according to the normal cavalry marching speed, at least three days. But the wolf's tooth flying horse is not visible, of course, it is impossible to go through the village and county, and run around wantonly in this land of Qingzhou, so they must not take the land route. If you take the sea route, you can go west along Laizhou Bay, which can be reached in a day and night, not only hidden, but more importantly, fast.
After five days of rest, except for more than ten people who were not accustomed to the water and soil and were in poor condition, most of the wolf-tooth flying cavalry warriors had recovered. However, nearly thirty horses had problems because they were not adapted to the turbulence of the sea. Ma Han simply left three Shi troops, led by a team leader, under the arrangement of Tai Shici, covered by several friends of the township party, scattered and infiltrated Huangxian to hide, collect intelligence, and make a difference to the Liaodong side. The remaining 170 people, all on board, sailed to the west shore of Laizhou Bay.
In the early morning of the first day of May, three ships transported more than 170 people, including Ma Han and Tai Shici, to Laizhou Bay, and the Weishui estuary. Looking south from here, you can see Duchang City more than 20 miles away. Seeing the geographical environment of this city, Ma Han understood why Kong Rong abandoned Beihai Guozhi Juxian and chose to fight the Yellow Turban Thieves here.
Due to the proximity to the sea, the city of Duchang is not high, and the city is not large, which is conducive to defense, and its geographical location is really good: ten miles to the west is irrigation, the east is close to Weishui, the north is the rough sea, and only the south is facing the Yellow Turban Thieves. Such a terrain surrounded by water on three sides and facing the enemy on one side is really impeccable. Seeing that Kong Rong's military is not good, but his vision is still very good.
After Ma Han landed, he was not in a hurry to break in, but first asked Tai Shici to find a nearby village to inquire about the situation of the Yellow Turban siege. About two hours later, Tai Shici returned, bringing the news that the leader of the Yellow Turban thieves was a Qu Shuai named Guan Hai, with about 10,000 troops, and the battalion was stationed in Hanting, ten miles south of Duchang. Except for the south and west turban thieves, there are few troops in the east and north directions. Because the river is close to the east and the sea is to the north, it is impossible for reinforcements to come from these two directions under normal circumstances.
Ma Han thought for a while, squatted on the beach, drew a circle with his finger on the beach, indicating Duchang, and then drew a thin line on the left, saying: "This is Weishui, bypassing five miles from the east gate of Duchang." We took two small boats, traced the river, and when we reached the east gate, we fought out of the boat and broke through the siege of the thief army. ”
Tai Shi Ci said happily: "It is exactly what I want." ”
Ma Han immediately ordered ten warriors who knew water and were fierce and light, each with an ordinary bow, two bags of arrows, a chopping knife, and a round shield, and removed their armor and helmets, and tried to be as light as possible. Then take two lifeboats from the fenders on both sides of the sill, transfer eight lost husbands, and add one eagle slave. There were a total of twenty-one people in the two boats, rowing towards Duchang in the upper reaches of Weishui.
More than 20 miles, less than half an hour to arrive, from the cabin peeking out, you can see the coastal hills, mounds, woods and other places have sparse tents. In May, the rice had just been tasseled, but many fields were trampled and destroyed by this gang of thieves.
When you are about to reach the east gate, you can see that a hundred paces away from the city gate are full of trees. This is an obstacle set up by the Yellow Turban Thieves to prevent the defenders of the city from breaking out or assaulting. In the vicinity of the barrier, there were more than 100 Yellow Turban thieves armed with rudimentary weapons. Patrol back and forth. Closer to the river, there are threes and threes. Dressed in tattered yellow scarves, thieves are washing clothes or sitting in the sun to catch lice. Among these thieves there were not many young and strong, many old and weak, and even women were seen in and out of the tents......
The warrior of the wolf-tooth flying horse couldn't help but sigh: "Such a guard, such a patrol, such an old and weak soldier, can actually besiege this city!" "The disdain for the Yellow Turban Thieves and the soldiers of Beihai County is beyond words.
Ma Han patted the warrior's head: "Less nonsense." Rush with me! ”
As the boat approached the shore, thirteen people jumped out of the water like dragons, jumped ashore, and rushed to the city gate five miles away as swift as the wind amid the stunned eyes of the yellow turban thieves who were washing clothes and sitting idly on their teeth to catch lice. The two boats were busy maneuvering down the river, far away.
Ma Han, Tai Shici and the others moved too fast, and they ran out of three miles before the yellow turban thief reacted. Shouting and shouting to chase and intercept from all directions,
Ma Han only glanced at it and knew that in addition to the more than 100 patrol posts intercepted in the front, the left and right could not be encircled. And the yellow turban thief in the back can only eat dust behind the buttocks. As long as you defeat the frontal thief army and climb over the barricades, you can break through to Duchang City.
"Wolf Tooth Flying. Free scatter, target. Forward! ”
The horse fell, and the demon pupil bowed halfway. An arrow was fired, and a raging thief soldier a hundred steps ahead was hit by the arrow and flew up, and a rain of blood was extremely red in the afternoon sun......
With the command of the horseman as the starting point, the eleven bows were raised almost simultaneously, swishing and swishing.
In just a few breaths, the arrows rained down, and the twelve bows actually shot out a critical effect similar to a salvo of a hundred strong archers.
The yellow turban patrol in front of him suddenly fell a large area, and Ma Han and Tai Shici alone shot nearly ten people. That group of yellow turban patrols, who had never seen such a powerful storm blowing, exclaimed one after another, like birds and beasts scattered.
Ma Han waited for the twelve storm shooters, five people opened the way in front, five people were after the tail was broken, Ma Han, Tai Shici and Eagle Slave were in the center, and the two three kingdoms attacked the fierce people from afar, shooting left and right, and shooting like electricity. Both men were rapid-shooters, each holding a powerful pulley bow, and a series of arrows were shot in succession, and from a distance, they looked like super-powerful repeaters, and the ones who were hit by the arrows fell almost in pieces.
"Ziyi, I let go of fifty-six people, thirty-nine dead, and seventeen injured."
"The rapid fire of the city guard, unparalleled in the world, is ashamed of himself, only shot thirty-two people and injured eleven people."
The horses kept ringing, their footsteps were flying, and they laughed: "It's not fun this time, and I'll play again next time." ”
Before the thirteen people rushed to the barricade, there was no one in front of them, and the wolves rushed to the left and right, and the rear stopped. It's so easy to get out of the enclosure.
The guards on Duchang City were dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
At this time, I saw a heroic young man with a double halberd on his back and a strange bow running to the city, shouting loudly: "Donglai Taishi Ci, on the order of Jiaci, I have come to help Kong Envoy!" ”
The defenders of the city reacted at this time, and they were all surprised and delighted, and hurriedly lowered the drawbridge, and hung two hanging baskets from the city wall.
A guard will hold the female wall and say in a loud voice: "Whoever comes, please put your weapons into the hanging basket and ride up in another hanging basket." ”
In the absence of the identity of the comer, the person is separated from the weapon and the basket is hung into the city, which is the usual means of disposal. Of course, Tai Shici understood, and he didn't think he was sorry, and threw the arrows and halberds into the basket, but the pulley bow was on his back. The Duchang guard didn't care, after all, the bow was not as good as a burning stick if there were no arrows.
At this time, the Yellow Turban thieves had already reacted, and in the direction of the south gate, a large number of thieves appeared, and it could be seen from a distance that these thieves had bows and shields, and even more than a dozen cavalry. There are very few Yellow Turban cavalry, and the appearance of these cavalry means that the Yellow Turban elite besieging the south gate are all alarmed and are rushing to intercept them.
The defenders of Dongcheng pointed fingers and shouted, but there were only two hanging baskets, and if they wanted to take them, they could only run to the military treasury in the city to get them, but where was the time?
At this time, Tai Shi Ci had just stepped on the city, and the hanging basket was trembling and hanging down, and hundreds of yellow turban elite soldiers had rushed to three or four hundred steps away......
"Castle guard, please get to the castle quickly." Ten wolf-tooth flying warriors lined up at the drawbridge, and no one would retreat even if they died until their city guards were safe to reach the city.
Ma Han didn't even tease the empty hanging basket, grabbed an iron arrow, thrust it into the ground, turned to the Duchang city wall, drew the arrow, set the string, opened the bow, loosened the string, fired, and repeatedly, its momentum was like flowing water, and it was indescribably fast.
Puff puff! The arrows burst through the earth like beads, reaching a depth of a foot, and in the dust, twenty iron arrows were shot out. The iron arrows are staggered, half-arm's space, from the bottom to the top, and a "arrow ladder" is built on the rammed earth city wall.
Ma Han thrust his bow into the bow sac, stepped up, put his hands on his feet, and climbed the three-zhang high wall in the blink of an eye. Immediately picked up the bow and arrows, and on the wall of Zhuo Linu, the god was majestic, which made the defenders of the east gate of Duchang dumbfounded.
Ten wolf-tooth flying warriors quickly retreated to the city wall and climbed up in turn, which was much faster than hanging baskets.
When the last wolf-tooth flying cavalry warrior landed in the city, Ma Han and Tai Shici collected their bows. During the whole process, the defenders of Duchang Dongcheng stood aside like a group of stupid geese, watching this group of fierce soldiers with weapons and easily landing on the city, including the guards, and they didn't dare to say a word.
Ma Han walked over, snatched the hanging basket from the guard's hand, waved his hand, the thick rope was broken, and the hanging basket fell to the ground. Ma Han shook the rope, rolled up the iron arrows, and retracted his right arm, and the iron arrows broke through the ground, and the mud and sand fell. The long rope was raised, and the iron arrows were rolled up to the city, and they fell under their feet, but after three or five blows, all twenty iron arrows were withdrawn.
It was only then that the defenders woke up from a dream and hurriedly pulled up the drawbridge, while the Yellow Turban Thieves were still two hundred paces away......
On the first day of May, Ma Han and Tai Shici led eleven wolf tooth warriors to successfully break through the siege of the yellow scarf and arrive in Duchang. (To be continued......)
