In the face of Fa Zheng's threat and surrender, the Zhao soldiers on Yangping Pass did not care about it, and did not take Fa Zheng's words into account at all.And Ma Chao, as the general of the town guard this time, scoffed at this, and knew very well in his heart that this was a trick by the enemy to disturb the morale of Army B.Looking at the Fa Zheng who kept talking, even if Ma Chao was in a good mood, he was destroyed by it little by little.In the end, Ma Chaozai couldn't stand the other party's wild words, snatched the bow and arrow of the archer on the side, drew a bow and crossbow, and opened the bow to shoot.Hearing only the sound of "whoosh", the arrow feather emitted a trace of dragon groan in mid-air, and shot directly towards the Shu Wei army outside the city.However, due to the distance between the two sides was too far, Ma Chao's arrow did not hit any target, and the arrow feather only flew in mid-air for a period of time, and then it became slower and slower, and an arrow was inserted into the ground.However, after seeing Ma Chao's arrow miss, no one in the Shu Wei army dared to make any laughing sounds.It's just that Ma Chao's arrow was not originally intended to hit any target, after all, the distance between the two sides had already exceeded the range, and Ma Chao's arrow was a response to the enemy and Na Fazheng.It means that there is no need to talk nonsense, and if you want to fight, you don't need to be so verbose.Moreover, even if Ma Chao's arrow was only shot on the ground, but from the place where Ma Chao shot it to the place where the arrow landed, it can be roughly seen that the distance between them has already exceeded 100 meters away, which is enough to show how strong Ma Chao's arm strength and archery skills are.Just at this arrow, all the people of Shu Wei present, it can be said that there are not many people who can reach this range, and they can even dare to say that there is no one.In the face of Ma Chao's ruthless response, Fazheng's self-esteem seemed to have been hit strongly, but after feeling Ma Chao's super long shot, Fazheng didn't dare to run forward with his life to joke with the other party.Immediately waved his hand, and said to Wei Yan and the second general Le Jin beside him: "Give me an attack, the first one to climb the gate tower of Yangping Pass, the bounty Fenghou." ”With Fa Zheng's order, Wei Yan and Le Jin did not dare to have any slackness, after all, the military order is like a mountain, and the two of them are from the original background, and the military order is more important than their lives.Under the command of the two, except for the cavalry and archers, the rest of the infantry carried siege ladders and began to attack Yangping Pass.In the face of the swarming enemy army, Ma Chao and the others did not panic, but commanded the sergeants on the city gate tower to counterattack in a nervous and orderly manner.You must know that Ma Chao's brothers and sisters were born in the land of Xiliang, and the soldiers of Xiliang are best at riding archery and equestrianism.This time, the soldiers of the Qinglong Cavalry, under the command of the three brothers Ma Chao, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai, resisted the siege of those Shu Wei in this Yangping Pass.Faced with tens of thousands of enemy sieges, all the archers locked onto their nearest target and began to shoot with their bows.With the archers on the gate tower shooting together, it was impossible for these attacking enemy troops to get close to the city walls for a while.Seeing that the entire attack order lasted for a while, it was only at the expense of many soldiers that the siege ladder was moved to the bottom of the city gate.Even so, it was particularly difficult for the soldiers to climb up, although Fa Zheng was bent on taking this Yangping Pass as revenge.But for Wei Yan and Le Jin, who are in charge of leading the army, it is a feeling of being like a knife.Immediately, Wei Yan couldn't bear this pain, and at the risk of being reprimanded and refuted by Fa Zheng, he said: "Strategist, no, the enemy's archers are too dense and powerful.Our siege army, let alone climbing the city walls, is difficult to even get close.If we continue like this, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out before our soldiers can board it, so it is better to order the withdrawal of troops first. ”And just after Wei Yan's voice was behind, Le Jin on the side couldn't help but take a step forward, and said in front of Wei Yan in front of Fa Zheng: "Lord Fa Zheng, the enemy's archers this time are really too powerful, our Shu and Wei armies have already killed a lot of people, if the stalemate continues, I'm afraid there will be more dead and wounded." ”When Le Jin said this, he paused slightly, then looked at the Zhao army on the wall of Yangping Pass, and said again: "When I came before, didn't Lord Fa Zheng also say that our Shu and Wei armies jointly attacked Yangping Pass this time, which is a technique to lure the enemy, not a forcible siege now."
At this moment, our approach is completely different from what Lord Fazheng said before, if it goes on like this, all the soldiers have been sacrificed, what should we do to fight against these Zhao troops. ”In the face of the persuasion of Wei Yan and Le Jin, Fa Zheng didn't know what to do for a while, but he watched the soldiers being shot by those archers on the city gate.Rao Shifa was so ruthless that he wanted revenge, and he couldn't bear to continue, and after hesitating again and again, he had to look at the Zhao Jun on the tower of the city gate who was eager to kill them in one go, and turned to Wei Yan and Le Jin and said, "Pass on my military order, and all the armies will retreat." ”In this way, under Fa Zheng's order, Wei Yan and Le Jin hurriedly sounded the horn of retreat.Originally, the Shu Wei soldiers who attacked the city, in the face of the powerful Zhao army on the city wall, no matter how they attacked, they never had any effect.If this continues, these soldiers have already lost the morale to attack, but they have a trace of fear in their hearts for those Zhao troops for no reason.This time, after hearing the retreat horn of Army B, these Shu Wei sergeants were eager to grow two more legs, or give birth to a pair of wings, to escape back.Even when they heard the clarion call to retreat, they immediately retreated, but the Zhao troops on the tower of the city gate still refused to give up.It seems that at that moment, the archers of the Zhao army on the city wall became more and more crazy, and the speed of arrows became more and more frequent, and if few people fled one step slower, they would be pierced by flying arrows, and for a while, all kinds of screams spread throughout the battlefield.Looking at the panicked appearance of the enemy troops below, Ma Dai on the city wall couldn't help but hurriedly said to Ma Chao: "General, now that those enemy troops have begun to retreat, let's quickly lead the army out of the city to pursue and kill all these enemy troops in one fell swoop." ”After hearing Ma Dai's words, without waiting for Ma Chao to respond, Ma Tie on the side took the lead and said, "No, never."
When Ma Tie was ordered by the military division to lead the soldiers and horses to support, the military division had already explained again and again.Our mission this time is only to defend this Yangping Pass, not to go out of the city to engage the enemy army, and this time the enemy army has been defeated and fled, as the so-called poor Kou Mo chase, we don't have to take this risk for the sake of those thieves. ”After listening to Ma Tie's words, Ma Dai couldn't help but be stunned, and even Ma Chao couldn't help nodding secretly, agreeing with what Ma Tie said.Immediately said to the surrounding soldiers: "This time, after our army successfully won this Yangping Pass, the Shu Wei army really couldn't bear the loneliness and came to recapture this pass."
Moreover, these enemy soldiers never expected that Ma Tie would lead the army to support before they came.Looking at the enemy troops under the city gate just now, there are about 10,000 people, so these enemy troops must mistakenly think that we have very few men and horses. ”"So when these enemy troops have not yet been discovered, there is no need for us to go out of the city to fight with them, so it is better to wait quietly in this city for the enemy to come to die again and again" After Ma Chao finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Ma Tie and Ma Dai, and comforted him: "In recent days, no matter how we come to provoke now, we can't be moved by it, everyone must stay in the city for me, and I must not go out of the city without permission, if anyone dares to disobey the military order, they will be dealt with in accordance with the disobedience of the military order." ”It can be said that Ma Chao's words are the most severe general order, and those who dare to go out of the city without authorization will be dealt with for disobeying military orders, and you must know that the end of disobeying military orders is the most severe crime in the army, and the worst can be dismissed from office, and at worst they can be beheaded.Ma Chao was able to say this, but also to be able to shock his two hot-blooded brothers, lest these two people fall for the enemy's tricks on impulse.In the face of Ma Chao's good intentions, how could Ma Tie and Ma Dai not know, and immediately bowed to Ma Chao: "Please rest assured, general, we will definitely defend Yangping Pass, and we will never let any enemy enter the city." ”Seeing the appearance of the two brothers, Ma Chao finally nodded with satisfaction.In any case, with the soldiers and horses led by Ma Tie this time, as long as he goes all out to hold on, no matter how many soldiers these Shu and Wei armies lead to attack the city, Ma Chao will have enough confidence to defend Yangping Pass, until His Majesty brings troops to come.When Fa Zheng led Wei Yan and Le Jin back to the camp, Wei Yan couldn't help but say to Fa Zheng: "Military Division, this siege failed, and the enemy archers are so brave, they must have been prepared.We should report this to Your Majesty, and order the attack to be halted for the time being, for if this continues, the number of dead and wounded soldiers will continue to increase. ”After hearing Wei Yan's words, Fa Zheng suddenly said angrily: "General Wei Yan, do you know what you are talking about at the moment, don't you tell the enemy army that our Shu army is not its opponent at all."
Even in the face of the territory that has been plundered by the enemy, we are not able to regain it, and even those generals who have been killed by the enemy, we are not capable of avenging them. ”"You must know that this time Na Ma Chao not only captured Yangping Pass, but also killed Zhang Bao and Yi Yuan, and captured thousands of soldiers of our army.If this matter reaches the ears of His Majesty, we will definitely be punished for serious crimes, even if His Majesty does not blame and has the heart to protect us.But the prime minister will not let us go, and that Zhang Fei will definitely not forgive us for killing his son, isn't General Wei Yan really not afraid of death":
