The matter was naturally settled in this way, and the army rested for a day, and then continued to attack the Great Wall the day after tomorrow. Everyone unanimously agreed to pass this, and they all thought that this would indeed have more advantages than disadvantages for their own side, so it was natural to ......

After that, the Liangzhou army had a good rest for a day. And on this day, Ma Chao ushered in the rescuer of Si Lilai, and this rescuer was not a team of people, but just one person. But why did a person become a rescuer, this has to start from Chang'an at that time-

It was none other than Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, who were coerced by Zhang Ren from Nanyang to Chang'an. At that time, after Liu Ye took refuge in Ma Chao, Ma Chao asked him to start research, that is, to study catapults. The catapult has been there for a long time, but Ma Chao feels that the power is still not big enough, so he asked Liu Ye to see if he can improve the current catapult.

And Liu Ye naturally had nothing to do about it, after all, he had just joined the new master, so he had to complete the task given to him by the new master, so he agreed. Regardless of whether it can be done or not, at least the promise must be agreed first.

After that, Ma Chao basically forgot about it, after all, he didn't say that he paid special attention to this at the time, and there were a lot of other things, and he couldn't remember it slowly.

Anyway, Liu Ye needs something, just talk directly to the people below, after all, this is something that Ma Chao has already said to others, so everyone else knows it. Until Ma Chao led the army to Bingzhou, he left Liu Ye behind, and he didn't care about it. It wasn't until this time that Liu Ye came to Yanmen, and Ma Chao remembered. Isn't it, there is such a talent under his account, and he asked him to improve the catapult at the beginning, so he is here today, is it ......-

After Liu Ye saw Ma Chao, he hurriedly saluted: "Lord! ”

Ma Chao smiled at him, "Ziyang is coming from Si Li, if it's as I expected, this is exciting good news, right?" ”

Liu Ye also smiled when he heard this. Xin said that if he didn't succeed in this, he really wouldn't dare to come to the front line.

"What the lord said is right, what the lord gave to his subordinates at the beginning has indeed been completed by his subordinates. His subordinates are busy fighting the enemy on the front line, so their subordinates also want to do their part for the war! ”

Ma Chao listened. The heart said that now he is blocked from entering the army. You, Liu Ye, and Liu Ziyang came just in time. Looks like you're going to surprise me. Isn't this the providence of heaven to let itself break the enemy?

So he said at this time: "Okay, if everyone in our army is like Ziyang, then why can't you break Yuan Benchu, why can't you defeat him Cao Mengde!" ”

Ma Chao is really sincere when he says this, and this is what he should be. And as the saying goes, "The hearts of the people are united." Taishan moves", in fact, this is the truth. If everyone can be united and twisted into a rope, then there are still difficulties that cannot be overcome. Not to mention that it must be invincible in the world, but how can it be invincible, isn't it?

At this time, Liu Ye took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and said to his lord: "Lord, this is the new catapult that his subordinates have improved, and it can be said that the power is more than three times that of the original catapult, so his subordinates also asked the lord to build this siege equipment and use it against the enemy!" ”

Ma Chao waved his hand when he heard this, "I can't understand this either, you should show it to someone who understands it then!" But Ziyang, since you have said so, then our army will immediately build this improved new catapult to see if it can break the current defense line of the Great Wall! ”

"My lord, my subordinates have confidence in this!"

"Well, just have faith! Whether it is possible to break the enemy or not, as long as the catapult is more powerful than the original, then Ziyang will be a great achievement, and when the state is merged, it will be rewarded together! ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Ma Chao nodded, "Actually, this is all Ziyang deserves, our army has always had clear rewards and punishments, those who have merit are rewarded, and those who have faults are punished!" No one is exempt, not even me! ”

Ma Chao said it solemnly, but in fact, it is indeed the case. Cao Cao's Yanzhou army is more powerful, in fact, this is inseparable from the clear distinction between rewards and punishments in his army, and the strict implementation of military law. From Cao Cao to ordinary soldiers, this is the case.

Otherwise, there would be no allusion to the head of the haircut, so the Yanzhou Army is definitely such an army that is very strict in governing the army. Of course, Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army is actually not bad, and even in many places, it is actually stricter than the Yanzhou Army. After all, the reputation of the Liangzhou Army was indeed not good a long time ago. And after Ma Chao's efforts over the years, it has indeed played a big role.

The army was blocked at the Great Wall, but with Liu Ye's joining, Ma Chao gained a lot of confidence. After all, it is "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", and now that your equipment is already going to be replaced with a new and improved one, then the power will naturally increase, and it will be more powerful than the original catapult, which is what the Great Wall's Bingzhou army can resist.

Liu Ye went to supervise the construction of a new and improved catapult, and Ma Chao once again gathered everyone, and after everyone arrived, Ma Chao told everyone about Liu Ye coming from Sili and bringing new siege equipment. Although Liu Ye himself is not here, this is really not a problem, anyway, Ma Chao is mainly studying the enemy this time, and Liu Ye is busy supervising the construction of siege equipment, even if he does not participate, it doesn't matter, as for the others, it is nothing.

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, the new siege equipment, the catapult that was more powerful than the original, this is a good thing.

Guo Jia asked, "I don't know what the lord wants?" ”

Ma Chao smiled, "What I mean is that there was just a truce today, let the army rest, then it will be difficult to stop the truce tomorrow, but Bo Zhan, there is still Zifang!" ”

"The last general!" "The last general!"

"The two of you will still lead the troops to attack the city tomorrow, but you just make an appearance, and I will make people Mingjin withdraw the troops after one round of attacks. You are all ready to retreat, just be careful, don't take it seriously! ”

"No!" The two are in unison-

In fact, Ma Chao thought simply, attacking the Great Wall actually had to continue to attack. After all, if you don't attack tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it will inevitably make people suspicious. After all, although it was the first time that it was its own side, it was not a big deal, and it was not a big deal for the side, and it was not that it was a heavy loss or anything. It is not uncommon to be blocked, but if you blindly stop fighting and avoid war, and keep resting like this, then it will inevitably make people suspicious. After all, that is really not in line with the style of your own Liangzhou army.

The side has attacked so many places and so many cities, and there are only a few times when there is a truce for several days, and it seems that there are really not a few times, two or three times more. It was a truce for several days. It's not a break, so Ma Chao's impression is indeed not many times. It is said that they are blocked at the Great Wall. But it was not in Yizhou that year. In the battle Zhang Ren led the Yizhou army to defend the difficulty, really, Ma Chao personally went out to win the county, or it is really not necessarily what happened.

But even so, the losses that year were not small. Ma Chao remembers it too clearly. So his subsequent battles were actually very contradictory, on the one hand, he wanted to meet an opponent like Zhang Ren, or it would be boring. But for the sake of his own soldiers. Ma Chao actually didn't want to meet an opponent like Zhang Ren, if people like Zhang Ren defended the city, and they were all teams like Yizhou sergeants guarding the city, then their own losses might not be what they would like in the future.

But again, it is impossible to fight a war without dying, so in order to avoid such a situation in the future, we can only end the current troubled times as soon as possible, and the world will be unified, and it will be good if there is peace. At that time, it will be "swords and guns are put into storage, and horses are put in Nanshan", so that is.

Ma Chao himself has been working hard for this goal, and he is definitely getting closer and closer to achieving this goal now. Of course, he also knows that the remaining opponents are more powerful than the other, but he has an advantage over them, so this is also where he is stronger than others. Because of more than 1,800 years of knowledge, this is definitely not comparable to others. No matter how powerful others are, he is just the vision of this era, even if he is ahead of his time, how far can he go, and can he compare with himself.

No matter how powerful a person is in this era, he has more or less the limitations of this era and the ancients, but he doesn't, this is his biggest advantage, but others can't compare, this is a fact, no one can change it, unless another person like himself comes out-

After resting for a day, Ma Chao continued to let Ma Dai and Mi Fang lead the troops to attack the Great Wall on the west and east sides, but they all said it yesterday, so the two of them naturally knew what to do.

As a result, the soldiers stationed on the Great Wall of the Bingzhou Army felt that today's Liangzhou Army was particularly strange, and they saw that the soldiers of the other side were already about to climb the Great Wall, but the other party suddenly withdrew his troops from Mingjin, and then retreated with his troops. The sergeant of the state was confused, and he didn't understand what was going on. I thought that the Liangzhou soldiers might attack later, but no, they retreated directly, and then there was no movement, so the Liangzhou soldiers couldn't figure it out.

After everyone returned to the big tent, Ma Chao praised Ma Dai and Mi Fang, "Bozhan and Zifang, you have done a good job today, you deserve to be rewarded!" ”

Ma Dai said: "The lord has won the award, everything is what his subordinates should do!" ”

Mi Fang also said: "Yes, this is what subordinates should do!" ”

Ma Chao smiled, "Okay, you don't have to be modest, our Liangzhou military rules are there, and you all know the way, so I don't need to say more." It's going to be the same tomorrow, right? ”

"No! Everything is under the orders of the Lord! The two said loudly.

Ma Chao nodded, expressing satisfaction-

After three days in a row, it was like this every day, and it was very impatient to put the Bingzhou Army in order, they always felt that this was too boring, when did this Liangzhou Army become like this. But if people don't fight with you, what can you do? Unless you go down the Great Wall and attack people's camps. But now the disparity between the forces of the two sides is huge, unless they are fools.

Another day later, the Bingzhou army finally tasted the powerful attack of the Liangzhou army. was first bombed by catapults, and then the soldiers of the Liangzhou army rushed up, and the soldiers of the Liangzhou army were unlucky, and they had never seen such a powerful siege equipment, so ......

I have to say that as soon as the improved version of the catapult was put on, it immediately reversed the disadvantage of the Liangzhou army in the past few days, and indeed they changed from a disadvantage to an advantage today, and it can be said that the newly improved high-power catapult is indeed showing its due power on the battlefield. (To be continued......)
