Chapter 737: Pursuit
Come on!
Kill!
The shouting and killing were shocking, and the soldiers of the Lu army heard the order, roared and waved their weapons and rushed towards the city wall of Fan County.
"General, the enemy is attacking the city!" Looking at the soldiers of Lu who were charging below, the officers on the city tower looked anxious.
"I'm not blind, what's the panic!"
Yu Ban scolded fiercely, and the slightest movement was scared like this, how could it become a big thing.
When the enemy soldiers approached the city, Yu Ban had already calculated that there was not much difference in the strength of the two sides, and Ma Chao wanted to forcibly attack the city, which was a joke at all.
"Archers prepare."
With Yu Ban's order, two rows of archers squatted at the head of the city and prepared in turn.
When the enemy army entered the attack range, Yu Ban decisively ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”
Woo Woo ~ ~
Woo Woo ~ ~
For a while, many arrows fell in the sky, like rain.
Plop ~ Plop ~~
Sergeant Lu kept falling to the ground with arrows, and the shield in his hand could not help them completely resist the damage of the arrows.
But no one backs down,
Because, this is war!
"Don't be afraid, charge with me!"
Ma Chao wielded his spear to block the arrows that came from him, inspiring the sons behind him.
Death, this is a normal thing on the battlefield.
Come on!
The soldiers roared loudly and marched forward at the risk of death.
When they rushed to a distance of twenty or thirty paces from the city wall, a terrible scream suddenly sounded.
The soldiers of the Lu army, who only cared about charging forward, stepped into the air and fell into the camouflaged trap dug by the Cao army, which was full of thorny spikes, piercing their bodies and dripping with flesh and blood.
The sounds of pain came and went, and the soldiers who charged all slowed down and moved forward cautiously.
But in this way, this has become a living target in the eyes of the archers of the castle tower.
The rain of arrows did not stop, but became more and more violent.
In this short period of time, nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Lu army have been killed.
"General, no! If we continue to fight like this, we will not attack the tower, and our own soldiers will be finished! The adjutant general rushed to Ma Chao's side, very anxious.
Ma Chao looked around, and most of the morale of the sons and daughters had plummeted, and the momentum at the beginning was like a rainbow, and it had disappeared.
Looking at the defenders on the city wall, because of the shooting of Lu Bujun, the morale rebounded, and they gradually gained confidence.
In a trance, a stray arrow pierced Ma Chao's arm.
Damn it!
Ma Chao roared in a low voice, his face was full of unwillingness, when it came to fighting alone, he was not at all worthy of any enemy in the city.
But as far as siege is concerned, his brave ability does not play a big role at all.
This made Ma Chao extremely depressed, and there was a kind of grievance that he couldn't make out.
The soldiers have fallen a lot, and even if Ma Chao wants to break through the city gate, it is impossible for him to do it alone.
Remove!
Aggrieved gave the order to retreat, Ma Chao pulled out the arrow cluster on his arm, and the huge pain made him grit his teeth and snort, his face instantly turned a lot pale, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
This move made the soldiers on the city tower also gasp, ordinary soldiers were hit by arrows, they must have cut off the arrow shaft, and then slowly took out the arrow, how could there be such a reckless as Ma Chao, directly pulling out the rod with arrows. This kind of huge pain, in other words, is estimated to have died of pain long ago.
"Wait, sooner or later I'm going to take off your head!"
After Ma Chao left these words, he slowly retreated with the soldiers of the Lu army.
Seeing the defeat of the enemy army, the Cao army on the city tower cheered loudly and celebrated the victory.
After Ma Chao retired from the army, he camped in the plains three miles away from Fan County.
As far as the current situation is concerned, a forcible siege is basically unrealistic.
Ma Chao knew this very well, and felt a little remorseful in his heart. At the beginning, in order to speed up, he only brought a light siege ladder, a big guy like a cloud ladder, Ma Chao was afraid of delaying speed, so he didn't bring it at all.
But now it seems that the guards in the city are obviously not ordinary people, from the beginning to the end, there is no mistake, and the command is orderly.
"Otherwise, let's ask General Zhang Liao for help, ask him to send some more manpower, and by the way, send the cloud ladder to the city hammer." The lieutenant reminded in a whisper.
"No way!"
Ma Chao vetoed it, if he asked Zhang Liao for help at this time, wouldn't he admit that his own skills were not good?
The adjutant general wanted to speak and stopped.
"From tomorrow onwards, every day we will send people to the city to shout and scold, as long as the enemy army is out of the city, we will rush into the city in one go!" Ma Chao commanded, but he didn't believe that Yu Ban could be a shrinking turtle in Fan County for a lifetime.
The next day, Ma Chao sent soldiers to the city to scold, from Yu Ban's background, timid, until his ancestors eighteen generations.
For several days, who expected that Yu Ban would not be moved at all, and he was very calm.
With such an obvious trick to lure the enemy, he naturally wouldn't be fooled.
Time passed day by day, and Ma Chao's patience was also exhausted little by little.
On this day, Yu Ban summoned the school officials in the city and laid out a new plan.
The next morning, the scout went to report to Ma Chao that the enemy army in the city had opened the west gate and seemed to be preparing to flee.
Ma Chao was worried that he couldn't take Fan County, and when he heard the news, he smashed his fist in his palm and shouted, 'Okay'.
"This guy must know that he can't hold on and wants to escape!" Ma Chao raised his eyebrows slightly, asserting this.
"General, my subordinates feel that the enemy's move is quite strange, so it's better to send someone to investigate first." The adjutant general reminded in a low voice with a solemn face.
"When you investigate well, everyone has already fled, how can you kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions?"
Ma Chao, who had long lost his patience, didn't want to wait for a moment, he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered some time ago this time: "Order all the soldiers to leave with me immediately." ”
Yu Ban's team was less than two miles out of the city before being picked up by Ma Chao's army.
"Well, where is the enemy going to go!"
Ma Chao drove the horse to take the lead, pointed his right hand to the front of Yu Ban, and shouted loudly.
Hearing the angry shouts of this life, Yu Ban seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates: "It's not good, Lu Bujun is chasing after him, run!" ”
Before the battle began, the soldiers of the Cao army were already in a mess, abandoned the baggage banner, and fled desperately, wishing that they could not grow two more legs.
Seeing this, Ma Chao couldn't help laughing, very proud.
Want to run?
No way!
Ma Chao turned around and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Sons, the time has come to seize the merits, kill me!" ”
Kill!
Sergeant Lu was in a great spirit, Cao Jun lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and he had no combat effectiveness at all.
"General, the enemy general has fled!"
In the midst of the scuffle, someone shouted loudly.
Ma Chao looked, and the enemy general really abandoned the corporal and fled alone on a horse under his crotch.
What a coward!
Ma Chao couldn't help but look down on it a little in his heart, he turned the horse's head and chased after him.
As far as he is concerned, no matter how many small soldiers he kills, he is not as successful as capturing the enemy general.
What's more, some time ago, he also said in public that he would take off Yu Ban's head with his own hands.
