"Damn, come once, leave without fighting, I really can't afford to lose this person, this Longxi County guard is a mule or a horse, and I have to pull it out and slip!" It wasn't until the sun began to shine that Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said.

"Ugly brother, your subordinates have not been used since Nan'an. Today, it's up to you to take the lead! Ma Chao turned around and beckoned the general to come over, and instructed the ugly brother.

"No!" The ugly brother hugged his fists, extremely excited, and came over this way, with the least military exploits. According to his own achievements, on the side of other princes, he would have gone crazy a long time ago. But in the Ma family's army, he only lost 500 people to win a county, and he could only get the final ranking......

Fortunately, the rabbit cubs under his command were also ashamed and brave, and they held back their strength along the way. At this moment, encountering this kind of difficult bone just let the young master see that he belongs to the kind of army that fights tough battles!

As a result, the ugly brother couldn't help but nod his head when he looked at Ma Chao, gratitude, excitement, and eagerness were mixed together, the expression on his face looked extremely strange, his smile was hideous, and the scar on his face jumped and jumped. But at this moment, a discordant voice came from his ears:

"Young master, a certain subordinate has also finished resting for several days, and he is bent on fighting. And there are no casualties in Guangwei County, which is more suitable for this formation...... "Pang De does have the demeanor of a general, but the problem is that no one has stipulated that this general can't ask for battle?"

The ugly brother didn't wait for Ma Chao to speak, and grabbed Pang De, "Old Pang, we have been for so many years, I haven't begged you, just this matter, can you let me come?" ”

"But don't, you didn't ask me, when you were in the torture cavalry camp, you couldn't beat me and gave me a stick, a tripper, and once I almost died on the battlefield......"

"It's not this time and that time, let's eat or drink at that time, don't fight for the boss, even the dog will bully you......" The ugly brother immediately let go of Pound's hand, and stroked Pound's collar by the way, and said with a shy face.

"Enough! At the time of the Great War, what kind of system will you become?! Ma Chao was in a bad mood, and he didn't have a good tone for the two: "A certain ugly brother attacked the city because his subordinates all had a virtue with him, and he knew that if he could fight, he would be like a mad dog. ”

Ma Chao is telling the truth, what kind of people lead what kind of soldiers. It is not bad to say that the character of a general directly affects the character of the troops. Let the ugly brother, a force with more active eyesight, attack the city, which is indeed stronger than the group of dead-eyed troops under Pound.

The ugly brother was speechless at the moment, and the young master didn't know whether to praise or belittle, but fortunately, this leading task was definitely impossible to run away from by himself.

"Ugly brother, this time I'll tell you straight, wait a minute, I'll let all the ballistas shoot at Longxi County to test the water, and then you charge with all the soldiers equipped with Yuanrong crossbows and big shields, if you can fill in that moat for me today, this battle will be your first achievement!" What do you think?! ”

"No!" The ugly brother clenched his fists and took the order, and glanced at Pound proudly.

"Ling Ming, you wait for your subordinate cavalry to stand by, if Longxi County dares to send cavalry to attack and kill Brother Ugly's infantry, you will resist it to the death! Is it competent? ”

"The subordinates will definitely live up to their mission!" Pound also clenched his fists and left, leaving Ma Dai standing stupidly on the side.

"Ma Dai, you go and check the readiness of all the ballistas, and take charge of the ballista firing. Even if there are immortals in Longxi County, follow me with a range sieve! ”

"No!" I thought that the eldest brother would watch the battle from the sidelines, but he didn't want to have his own responsibilities, so Ma Dai ran down.

"Chao'er, did you really decide to take Longxi?" After the deployment, Jia Xu asked.

Ma Chao nodded, and stretched out his hand to probe the direction of the wind: Yes, it happened to be downwind.

"Big brother, the ballista is ready!" With a little effort, the fifty repeating ballistae brought by Ma Chao this time have been installed in place.

This burst of ballistas, after a little guidance by Ma Chao and the transformation of Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan in the arsenal, has a range of more than 300 steps; The seemingly rudimentary sight greatly improved the accuracy of shooting. At this time, the mountain-destroying crossbows used on most of the city walls in the late Han Dynasty had a range of only 200 steps, and with the height of the city walls, they could barely reach 250 degrees. Counting today's wind direction, the Ma family army has an absolute advantage!

What's even better is that the originally bulky bed crossbow, after being equipped with leather wheels, has been very convenient for marching, and in peacetime marching troops are pulled by mules and horses, and in wartime, only two soldiers can be pulled to the front line to assemble.

Ma Dai shuttled back and forth in the ballista array, carefully checking that the bed crossbow was in place and that the crossbow bolts were sufficient. After that, he reported to Ma Chao: "Report to the eldest brother!" Fifty ballistas ready! Please, big brother, command! ”

'Come on, Tianshui-gun! Although Lao Tzu likes to surrender without a fight, when he can't help it, he prefers to be a man. Just let me see how hard you are in Longxi County! Thinking in his heart, Ma Chao spit out two words from his mouth: "Volley!" ”

At the sound of an order, fifty ballistas were fired at the same time, and the roar that pierced the eardrums sounded at the same time, which frightened many war horses. Ma Chao saw from a distance that the thick crossbow nails actually exploded the bricks and stones at the head of the city, and countless soldiers who were stupid enough to see Ma Jiajun actually launch a crossbow machine three hundred steps away watched the thick crossbow nails roar towards them, and they didn't have time to dodge, with the previous disdain and sarcasm, they were shot to pieces, like broken kites, and fell straight down the city.

This trick is brilliant to play first! Ma Chao stroked his palms and laughed: This time not only took away their momentum, but I'm afraid even the courage was taken away, right?

"Whoosh ......"

The second wave of crossbow arrows was launched immediately, and the county soldiers on the wall of Longxi County were already frightened, and their reactions were very alert. But all the county soldiers curled up on the narrow city wall, and there were still many county soldiers who could not avoid it.

"Pss

Another unlucky Longxi county soldier was suddenly shot by a crossbow arrow, and the huge momentum made the body of the county soldier fly up like a kite with a broken line, and when it fell, the entire chest cavity seemed to have been hollowed out, and the internal organs had already been shaken to smithereens, and he didn't even have time to exhale a wail, and was shot alive.

In an instant, the head of Longxi City became a hell for people.

"Ahh

Many county soldiers who had been scratched or shot in the hands and feet cried out, and they saw the city wall with stumps and broken arms and blood flowing everywhere, just like the scene of the end times.

Finally, after the fifth wave of shooting, there was no longer a single figure in the city. At this moment, tens of thousands of Ma Jiajun outside the city suddenly cheered in unison, and tens of thousands of voices roared and almost suppressed the sound of ballista firing. Ma Chao felt strange in his heart, and hurriedly looked left and right, only to see two black flags hanging on the city tower being hit by a crossbow arrow on the flagpole and falling down.

At this time, the morale already belonged to the Xiliang Army. And Ma Chao was excited and angry: This ugly brother, why didn't he charge at this time?

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

Just when Ma Chao was about to get angry, several big drums sounded in unison on the side, and a terrible shout penetrated the heavy cannon sound and drum beat, piercing the eardrums, Ma Chao smiled slightly, followed the reputation, and sure enough, he saw the ugly brother wearing armor all over his body, riding on a jujube red horse, and viciously shouting orders to his soldiers.

"In this way, it is not difficult to defeat this Longxi County...... Ma Chao thought in his heart: In the face of absolute strength, those military tricks and tricks in Longxi County are useless!

But then, Ma Chao realized how wrong he was: there is no such simple ...... to fight
