Chapter 42: Take Sichuan (10)

Ma Dai led 10,000 troops to open the road. As he walked, he suddenly saw that the road ahead was narrow, so he said to the left and right: "The road ahead is narrow, and there are probably ambushers! If you send the order, the whole army will move slowly! Order to do a careful investigation."

After a while, he came to report carefully, saying that there was no ambush in front of him, Ma Dai then led his troops to continue moving forward. Not long after, he suddenly saw an army ahead blocking the road, but the general was a red-faced general. When Ma Dai saw it, he immediately thought: "Is this person Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang?" While he was thinking, the man opposite shouted: "Is it Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang. Why did you invade our borders?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Dai smiled and said, "General is under Liu Jiyu's tent?" Wei Yan said, "I am under Liu Huang Uncle!" Ma Dai laughed and said, "I only know that Liu Zhang is the governor of Yizhou, and Liu Bei is only the governor of Jingzhou. Why did he come to Yizhou?" After that, he laughed.

Wei Yan said angrily, "Don't be arrogant, take my sword!" So he came to slam the horse. When Ma Dai saw it, Yi danced his sword to greet him. The two fought to the same place, but their soldiers shouted behind them to help them. After more than ten rounds of fighting, Wei Yan said to himself, "General Xue asked me to lead his front army deeper, and I should take advantage of this time to despair!" So he pretended to be unable to defeat and retreated, leading the three thousand soldiers under him to look back and run.

Ma Dai looked behind him and thought to himself, "If I take this general, it will definitely be a great achievement." So he smiled and said, "I don't have the courage to escape, where do you run?" So he rushed his army to chase him, fearing that Wei Yan would escape back to the gate.

However, Wei Yan heard Ma Dai's words in front of him, and was so angry that he wanted to fight back with him. However, he had heard of Xue Bing's strictness in the army. If Xue Bing was punished for not following the general order because of this, it would be unfair. He had to curse in his heart: "I will avenge my insult today sooner or later!" So he gritted his teeth and urged him to step off his war horse, hoping to get the designated place soon.

One of the two sides was in front. Three thousand soldiers were all light-fit, and they were extremely fast to run. The ten thousand soldiers behind were indeed mixed. If they chased them quickly, the soldiers on their own could not keep up. They ran slowly, and were afraid that they would lose Wei Yan. Ma Dai was anxious and angry at the horse. He wished that the ten thousand soldiers under him were all cavalry, and in the blink of an eye he caught up with Wei Yan.

But Xue Bing led three thousand crossbowmen to ambush the mountain, and found the craftsman captain and asked, "Can they be properly placed?" The captain said, "Everything has been settled." Xue Bing said, "So, when I order it, I will start attacking!" The captain took the order.

Fa Zheng looked around for a moment and frowned and said, "I only looked at the drawings first, and I also thought that the things made by the general were very powerful. But now I saw them, they looked like this." It turned out that Fa Zheng had arrived at the ambush and saw that the catapults were not as huge as he imagined, and the crossbow chariots did not look strong enough, so he said this.

Xue Bing smiled bitterly and said, "The energy and financial resources of such things are very expensive. How can it be made casually? This thing I and the military advisor jointly made is not as powerful as the catapults used in normal times in terms of power."

Fa Zheng frowned and said, "If so, how can we defeat the enemy?"

Xue Bing said: "This time I only want to break the vanguard. But there is no way for his team, so I have to rely on the pass and refuse."

While the two of them were right, they suddenly saw smoke and dust floating in the distance. They thought that Wei Yan was leading the enemy. When Xue Bing saw it, he ordered to the left and right: "The stone cart is loaded with stone bullets first. The crossbow cart will not move!" The left and right received the order and passed the general order. After a while, they saw Wei Yan's troops rushing into Kuangu, Xue Bing ordered the left and right again: "When the general Wei army passes by, the road is blocked with big stones." Another small school took the order and left.

Fa Zheng asked, "General sealed the road with big stones, but should Ma Chao's army stop here?" Xue Bing smiled and said, "That's the best!" After speaking, Wei Yan had already led the troops to rush over. However, Wei Yan led the three thousand soldiers to the narrow place and heard the rumbling behind him like thunder. Looking back, he saw several large rocks rolling down from the mountain and landing on the road. Although the road had not been blocked, the army could not pass by.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yan knew that his mission had been completed, so he led his soldiers up the mountain and looked at where Xue Bing was. However, Xue Bing hurriedly asked, "Wen Chang has arrived, why has the Ma Chao troops not arrived yet?" After hearing this, Wei Yan looked down at the foot of the mountain and smiled, "I thought I ran too fast and actually threw that kid off." Xue Bing sighed helplessly and said, "If I had known this, it would be better for me to go and seduce the enemy in person." After hearing this, Wei Yan just accused him of guilt.

At this moment, his subordinates reported in detail: "Ma Chaoqian team has arrived!" Xue Bing heard this and said to Wei Yan: "Fortunately I caught up, so this time I made a contribution!" Wei Yan thanked him and said to him, "Fortunately this kid has chased him."

But Ma Dai chased after him for a while, but he wanted to be fast but didn't dare to be fast, but he couldn't bear to let him go. So he chased him all the way, hoping that the other party would make some mistakes so that he could catch up with him. While walking, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were much wider and said intimately, "The terrain here is wide, but with such a terrain, how can the other party set up an ambush?" While thinking, he suddenly saw a big rock in front of him blocking the road, and hurriedly stopped the horse and stood still. After looking around for a moment, he hurriedly said: "Retreat! Go back!"

But before he could finish his words, he saw stones flying over the surrounding mountains. For a moment, the stones smashed down like rain.

Besides, Xue Bing saw that Ma Dai's army had rushed in on the mountain, and when his entire army entered, he ordered an attack. All the stone carts threw out the loaded stones. For a moment, people under the mountain were overturned, and countless people were panicked when they saw so many stones falling from the sky. Many war horses were even frightened and even stepped on countless infantrymen around them.

Ma Dai was in front of the big stone, staring at the scene for a while, then hurriedly said, "Rise up the shield to resist the flying stones!" He knew just now that although these stones looked scary, they were not very powerful. The main reason was that the scene of the flying stones was too terrifying. The soldiers were panicked for a moment, which made the army so chaotic.

As soon as the order was passed on, the soldiers raised their shields to resist the flying stones. Although their arms were sore and painful, they were better than being hit directly on their heads. After a while, the frightened war horses were also controlled. Seeing that the troops were gradually stabilizing, Ma Dai hurriedly ordered: "The whole army, I hope to retreat!" After the order, the soldiers slowly retreated while guarding against the stones flying from the sky.

But he said that he was looking at the mountain for a moment and said to Xue Bing: "General, this stone cart is too powerful. In addition to causing some chaos to the enemy at the beginning, the damage caused is too weak!" After saying that, he looked disappointed. He thought he had regarded this new weapon as a waste.

Xue Bing had expected this situation a long time ago, saying that Fa Zhengdao: "Don't be greedy! This situation is much better than I expected!" He ordered the left and right: "Transfer to me, all the crossbows, shoot upwards!" After passing the order, Fa Zheng asked again: "Why not shoot directly?" Xue Bing smiled and said, "Although this crossbow is easy to carry and can be disassembled or installed, it is not as domineering as ordinary crossbows. If it shoots directly, it will fall to the ground before it reaches the foot of the mountain." After saying that, he said to the left and right: "Let the stone cart change the oil bullets, and ask the crossbowman to get on the rocket! The target is the enemy's backstage!" After the order, Xue Bing pulled Fa Zheng again: "Xiaozhi, let me watch a fireworks conference!" Fa Zheng was pulled by Xue Bing and looked down at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Xue Bing's order had been executed. The flying arrows in the sky were like locusts, as if they could cover the sun in the sky. Fa Zheng saw this scene and hurriedly said, "Why are there so many giant arrows? And it seems that there is no need to pause?" Xue Bing said, "I ordered the crossbow carts to be divided into three teams. When the first team was shooting, the second team was on standby. After the first team was shooting, the second team was on standby. When the second team was shooting, the third team was on standby. When the third team was shooting, the first team had already taken the arrows and was on standby." When Fa Zheng heard this, he remembered that the sky was full of stones, so he said, "I think the stone carts are used in this way." Xue Bing said, "Of course!"

Let’s talk about the troops at the foot of the mountain. I saw the rain of arrows all over the sky, and at first I thought it was an ordinary arrow. When I got closer, I realized that it was a giant arrow as big as a spear. I wanted to use my shield to hide, but it was too late. Even under the first round of shooting, countless people died under these giant arrows. Some of the giant arrows even stabbed the person behind me to the ground after shooting through a soldier.

Xue Bing looked at the mountain and said to himself: "Using the terrain, this crossbow cart has exerted 120% of its power!" While thinking, the stone cart showed its might again, and round objects like jars hit Ma Dai's back formation.

But Ma Dai was hiding under the horse at this time, and could only watch the enemy keep throwing things around him in places he could not see. Every time, he could take away the lives of countless soldiers. Apart from jumping and cursing, Ma Dai really couldn't think of any good countermeasures. This time, when he saw a pile of cans flying towards his back formation, a sense of ominousness suddenly arose in his heart.

Then the soldiers in the formation, originally he was closest to the original path, and he would definitely be able to escape. At this time, he saw a bunch of round things flying towards him, so he had to hide first or protect himself with a shield. Just wait until he escaped from this formation and escaped from the heaven.

Soon, there were endless crackling sounds, and apart from that, only a few unlucky guys were smashed into the head and lost their lives, and the rest of the people were not even injured.

"What?" After a soldier saw that one of the round things was shattering around him, countless liquid flew out of it, splashing all over him, so he touched it with his hands. When he touched it, he screamed in horror: "Oil! It's oil!" After hearing this, the recruits had not yet realized what this meant. When the veterans heard it, they ran out like crazy, hoping that they would have a child and leave here as soon as possible.
