Chapter Twenty-Eight: Victory in the First Battle

13 I saw that the speed of the Shu infantry attacking below suddenly slowed down, and then a gap was split in it, and a road was divided, and a group of cavalry rushed over quickly.

"Does he want the cavalry to attack the city?"

Liang Xu smiled, but he was amused, he had never seen such a method of using soldiers for so many years. The cavalry can only exert its maximum power when it attacks the plains, but if it attacks the city, its advantage is completely useless, and it can only be sent to death in vain.

But after a while, he couldn't laugh anymore, because he noticed that something was wrong, and the cavalry that appeared in this breakthrough seemed to be different from other cavalry!

That's right, this is exactly the special unit established by Mo Fan, the Divine Crossbow Battalion.

This time, it was Mo Fan who wanted to take this opportunity to test the power of the Divine Crossbow Camp.

Seeing that the Divine Crossbow Camp was getting closer and closer, it soon entered a distance of 100 meters, and the defenders above still didn't know why, and still stuck out their heads in unison to watch.

"Explode, try what it's like to be stabbed into a hornet's nest." Mo Fan whispered, and at the same time, his face was full of a look of watching a play.

After the divine crossbow battalion entered a distance of 100 meters, it did not move forward, but lined up, pulled up the Zhuge crossbow in his hand, and aimed it at the people on the city wall.

"It's not good, get out of the way!" When Liang Xu saw this, his heart suddenly tensed!

However, it was already too late, and with the order of the captain of the crossbow battalion, Hong Yan, countless arrows were overwhelmingly attacking the people on the city wall.

What a spectacle it was!

Three thousand people, in just two seconds, shot 30,000 arrows at the same time, covering the sky and the earth The arrows obscured the daylight, as if the sky had darkened in an instant.

Not only the Wei army in the city, but even the Shu army below were shocked by this scene.

Immediately afterward, countless screams were heard, and many soldiers were stabbed into hedgehogs in an instant, and died no more.

It was a storm of arrows, and most of the guards of the five thousand cities could not react and were shot dead instantly, only a few who were lucky enough to hide under the corpses of their companions escaped.

In a short period of time, the number of guards suddenly disappeared by four thousand, only one thousand sergeants, of course, a few officials here were lucky, when Mo Fan gave the order to attack, they hid under the city wall, so they were safe and sound, but they were also frightened when they kept watching the soldiers on the city wall fall from the arrows.

After the attack, the Divine Crossbow Battalion immediately retreated, leaving behind a dusty back.

The soldiers of the Shu army, of course, would not let go of such a good opportunity, and before the defenders on the city wall could react, they launched a direct attack on the city, and after a while, the city gate was breached.

In fact, at this time, most of the remaining soldiers on the city wall had no intention of fighting, and before the battle officially began, their companions died almost instantly, and no one could stand it.

This battle was a complete victory.

More than 1,000 enemy soldiers were captured, including five or six high-ranking officials, including Ma Zun, Liang Xu, Shangguan Ji and others.

"Report to the general, at this time 23 people were killed in the battle and 70 were wounded!" Cao Yi, the head of the quartermaster department, was also appointed by Mo Fan as the head of the logistics department, and at this moment, the battle was over, and he reported to Mo Fan immediately after the statistics.

"The success of this battle is all due to the general's divine crossbow battalion!" Hearing the news on the side, Qianzhan also said excitedly.

"Hehe, quickly clean up the battlefield and imprison all the captives!"

"Yes, General!"

Several high-ranking figures in this city were all tied up into a large rice dumpling at this moment, and they were discarded in a corner of the city wall.

"Come on, untie him!"

"I heard your name is Liang Xu? Looking at your performance just now, it is much stronger than those few wrecks, and this general is also a person who loves talents, if you surrender to me and use it for me, this general will definitely be treated favorably! ”

Liang Xu, Mo Fan, has also heard of it, and he is quite talented in military affairs, but he has always been condescended to a city guard and cannot be reused.

"Don't think about it, I, Liang Xu, would rather die than surrender!"

"Oh, you'd really rather die than surrender?" Mo Fan took a knife and gestured at Liang Xu's neck, making a gesture to cut it down.

"Hmph, my husband is full of words! If you say you won't fall, you won't fall! Liang Xu looked at the knife around his neck, and also took a breath of cool air, but he still said hard.

"Okay, since that's the case, then you" said Mo Fan, raising the big knife high and swinging it violently, but it was not Liang Xu's head that was chopped, but the ropes on his hands.

Although Mo Fan asked the soldiers to loosen him just now, in order to prevent him from escaping, he left the rope on his hand unloosened.

"Let's go!"

Liang Xu had already closed his eyes, waiting for death to come, but as the knife qi slashed, he only felt that his hands were loose, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the rope that bound his hands had been broken and lay on the ground.

"You, don't kill me?" Liang Xu wondered.

"This general cherishes talent the most, although you don't vote for me, I can't bear to die like such a talent!" Mo Fan pretended to lament with regret.

Mo Fan waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to let him go.

Liang Xu walked out of the city gate step by step, Mo Fan let him go so easily, but he couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until he was completely out of the army's range that he fled violently.

"Why is the general like this, if you want him to surrender to us, you only need to torture him severely, why let the tiger return to the mountain." Fighting forward as he watched the enemy general leave, he said anxiously.

"It may be possible to deal with ordinary martial artists, but if I want such a person of great wisdom to be so inferior to me, I don't care about it. What I need is a willing, you know? Mo Fan explained.

"Well, the Admiral understands!" Although he made it clear verbally in the forward battle, with his mind, he actually couldn't figure out why Mo Fan didn't use the simple method, but wanted to let the enemy go.

However, he also understood that Mo Fan must have his plans when he did this, so he unconditionally carried out Mo Fan's orders.

Of course, Mo Fan had a plan in his heart for a long time, Longyou just attacked a few counties one by one, no matter where Liang Xu fled to, he would eventually be caught by Mo Fan, and he was not afraid that he would not surrender when the time came.

"Pass the order, leave a thousand soldiers to guard the city again, wait for Marshal Zhuge to come, and the rest of the people will immediately gather and march towards Nan'an County."

The five counties of Longyou are not far from each other, of course Mo Fan will not let them have time to gather troops to resist, this attack, they will have to do a big vote, and completely capture a few counties.

"Yes, General."

Soon, Mo Fan's vanguard army attacked on the road, and the military flag fluttered.

The rest of the counties had already been notified that Tianshui County had been attacked, and in an instant, the city fell into the hands of the enemy.

"What should I do, I heard that after the Shu army captured Tianshui County, it immediately came towards us!" Zhu Xi, the Taishou of Nanping County, was restless at the moment, and the big Han beads on his forehead kept popping up.

"How is this good, before General Cao Zhen transferred most of the troops in the city, there are only five thousand defenders in the city at this moment, how can I resist it. How about it? "Zhu Xi is the master of the six gods at the moment.

"It's too much to keep!" Suddenly there was a loud shout from outside the room.

Then a dusty man ran in, and when he entered the house, he picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth.

"Liang Shoujiang? Did you escape? Seeing the comer, Zhu Xi was taken aback, isn't this the general who defended the city of Tianshui County that was breached.

"Zhu Taishou, you must not surrender, now you should do your best to resist the enemy army and wait for General Cao Zhen's rescue."

"But now that the enemy is strong, I'm afraid the defenders of the city won't be able to resist it! If you become a prisoner of the enemy, you can't imagine the end! Zhu Xi said with fear on his face.

"Why are Zhu guards so cowardly, the enemy army is only 20,000 people, hand over 5,000 defenders to me, and I guarantee that I can resist for a moment and a half!"

"General Liang really has a way to defend against the enemy army?" Zhu Xi seemed to grasp the last straw.

"Please raise a large number of shields quickly and transport them to the city wall to defend against the enemy!"

"Huh? Shield, shouldn't the defender of the city prepare a rolling stone thunderwood, what do you want a shield to do! ”

"Taishou doesn't know that the enemy army has a powerful crossbow army, and the crossbow arrows are swept away, and it can be said that even flies are difficult to dodge."

"What, it's so terrifying!" Zhu Xi was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, quickly prepare a large number of shields to be transported to the city wall!"

"Zhu Shouwei, don't panic when the enemy army attacks, leave everything to me, fight steadily, and you will definitely be able to hold the city."

"Just as General Liang said." Zhu Xi directly handed over the burden to Liang Xu.

Bang bell, bang bell!

The sound of armor rubbing against the armies as they marched came from far and near.

"Listen upstairs, I'm the general Ma Yan! I will not kill those who surrender voluntarily! ”

When the soldiers approached the city, Mo Fan once again loudly reported his name, and it was naturally excellent to be able to capture the city without bloodshed.

But Mo Fan seems to have overestimated his name, his name seems to be not as good as Zhao Yun and the like, and the defenders upstairs saw this, and they took out their weapons and shields one after another, with a posture of facing the battle.

After a closer look, Mo Fan found a familiar face in the crowd, yes, it was Liang Xu who Mo Fan let go.

At this moment, he was standing with a fat man in a slightly obscene costume.

Looking at the dense army under the city, Liang Xu frowned.

"General Liang, is there really no problem, there are so many enemy troops, I'm afraid it will be easy to defeat us, it's better for us to surrender to Cheng first, and then find another way later." Zhu Xi was shocked by Mo Fan's momentum and immediately wavered.

"Zhu Shouwei, you are the head of a city, an official appointed by the imperial court, how can you say such a thing." Liang Xu was upset, and when he heard Zhu Xi say such undignified words at this time, he drank directly at him.

Zhu Xi was drunk by him, and then stopped talking, but his legs still kept shaking.

Looking at Liang Xu, Mo Fan knew that if he used the Divine Crossbow Camp again this time, it would not be of much use, and the other party would definitely be on guard.

However, when he saw Zhu Xi, who was pale on the city tower and his legs were constantly shaking, his mind moved, and a clever plan appeared in his mind!

He ordered the soldiers to press on the whole army and charge towards the city.

Suddenly, the sound of drums, shouts, and the fluttering and whistling of military flags came out earth-shatteringly.

Looking at such a battle, Zhu Xi's face turned two points whiter.

At the same time, Mo Fan received a huge bow from the soldiers, this kind of bow, which is very powerful and has a long range, is a heavy bow used to attack the city gate.

In general, such a bow could not be pulled at all without two or three stout soldiers.

At this moment, Mo Fan held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and with his strength, he naturally easily pulled it to the full moon.
