Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 186 Defeated, Our Army Defeated

The attack was launched at Nanmen, Jincheng County.

Ma Di wanted to use this attack to test the power of the trebuchet and the strength of the city.

Only a dozen trebuchets were put into the offensive. Under the control of more than a thousand soldiers, they were quickly dragged to the front line, filled with large stones found temporarily, adjusted the angle, aimed at the city gate, charged, and launched.

It was not smooth at the beginning, Shu soldiers fired ten big stones at the city gate in one breath, none of which hit the city gate, but smashed the city wall into potholes.

Wei Bing on the city watched all this silently without making any response.The location of the catapult was a full three hundred steps away, far beyond the range of the bow and arrow.

They have never experienced such a battle, and they don't know how to deal with it at this moment.

But when they saw that the Shu army had added ten more catapults, a soldier hurried down the tower to report to Guo Huai.

After a toothache "squeak" sound.

The 20 yuan boulder flew up in the air and flew towards the city gate together.

Bang, bang, bang!
Boom——

Although most of the stones were missed, a boulder the size of a millstone hit the gate.

The walls near the city gate were immediately shaken, and dust fell down.

The city gate collapsed.

No, strictly speaking, the two huge city gates did not collapse, but were smashed through and shattered.The two halves of the city gate were still crookedly connected to the city wall, and a huge doorway appeared in the middle.

But the Shu soldiers did not take advantage of the situation.

Instead, as Ma Su raised his arm high, all the catapults and ballistas were launched together.The arrows and stones all over the sky almost covered the sky, and they rushed towards the Wei soldiers on the tower like locusts.

whoosh whoosh—

bang bang bang-

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers who were hit or shot had no time to let out a tragic groan, and rolled down from the tower, or were smashed into a pulp.

When the volley of arrows and stones was over, the Shu army still did not choose to rush into the city, but loaded the catapults and ballistas again.

Then there was another round of mixed indiscriminate salvo.

This time, because of the adjusted angle, the damage to Wei Jun was even greater.A few Wei Jun who were lucky enough to escape the first round of shooting hid behind the parapet, trying to avoid this round of bombardment.

But he was hit by the boulder and the wall with people, lying on the ground and howling.

The further round of bombing lasted only half an hour, and more than half of the soldiers deployed by the Wei army on the city tower had been killed or injured, and more than 1000 people had been lost.The other soldiers didn't dare to stay on the tower anymore, and retreated in embarrassment.

In contrast, the Shu army suffered only one casualty. This Shu soldier accidentally broke his leg while carrying stones.

Ma Di had expected this result, and equipment siege warfare has always been accompanied by human errors and work-related injuries.He ordered the soldiers to carry the wounded down for treatment, and was about to raise his arms again.

Zhang Xiu wondered from the side: "General, the city is already broken, why do you still need to shoot?"

Why don't you rush in and kill them all?

Ma Di smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Yun, who was thoughtful.

Dai Ling hesitated and said: "General, could it be that you are imitating the old story of strengthening Qin and killing people?"

"Not bad!"

"When Qin unified the six kingdoms in the past, every time he arrived at a city, he would first use ten thousand crossbow arrays to release several rounds of arrow rain to destroy the courage of the defenders, and then attack the city. Therefore, wherever it went, everything was invincible. "

"Today, I will imitate the story of Qiang Qin."

Ma Di glanced at Dai Ling approvingly, and raised his arm: "Launch! Launch!"

The rain of stones mixed with the rain of arrows smashed into the city with an overwhelming momentum.

Inside the city, it was a mess.

Numerous houses collapsed, and everything in sight was ruined.

But the people suffered no casualties.

This is because after the great migration and decades of war, there were not many people left in the city, and they all escaped far away before the Shu army launched the bombing, and gathered in the open place in the middle of the city.

So apart from being a little shocked, they are in a good situation at the moment.

The situation of Wei Jun who retreated was even more embarrassing.

Even though they knew that the Shu army was just a tentative attack, they were still terrified that more than a thousand people were lost in a few rounds of bombardment.

"grown ups!"

Inside the city gate, all the surviving Wei soldiers looked helplessly and panicked at the prefect Guo Huai who had rushed over.

Guo Huai held a gun in his left hand and a piece of white cloth in his right. He turned his head and looked around, but what he saw were trembling soldiers, broken city gates, and dense rain of stones and arrows flying overhead.

Guo Huai sighed, wrapped the white silk around the tip of the gun, made it into a flag, and walked out of the city gate full of holes, waving the white flag, and shouted to Ma Di:

"Stop hitting, stop hitting, surrender!"

"Surrender!"

……

"General, Guo Huai left the city and surrendered!" Zhang Xiu said excitedly.

Ma Di waved his hand and stopped the bombardment of arrows and stones. He did not show any complacency about the victory. He calmly ordered, "Dai Ling and Zhang Xiu, each of you lead 3000 people to take over the Simen."

"Old General Zhao, accept the surrender with me."

"No!" Everyone bowed their hands and accepted the order.

The Shu army moved very quickly, and within an hour, they completely controlled the situation in Jincheng.

Guo Huai, the general of the defeated army, bowed his head and followed Ma Di, bearing the affront from the soldiers of the Shu army in shame.

The whole siege lasted only two hours before and after, and it ended with the complete victory of the Shu army.

Even, after the first hour of the war, the Wei army had already been defeated, completely defeated.

But Ma Di still insisted on completing the four rounds of bombing, and the bombing did not stop until Guo Huai left the city and surrendered.

The kind of forced siege that requires people's lives was never an option for him.

Subduing others without fighting is his ultimate pursuit.

Because it was a siege and fortified battle, the news that Jincheng was breached within two hours was not spread.

The army rested overnight in Jincheng.

The next day, Ma Di ordered Zhang Xiu to stay in Jincheng with [-] soldiers and horses, and personally led the army to kill Wuwei.

Bing is precious and fast, which has always been his label.

……

In Wuwei City, Governor's Mansion, Xu Miaoan sat in the study, frowning.

I can't explain why, but the uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Three days ago, after learning that Ma Di sent troops from Qiang to besiege Jincheng, he immediately sent someone to ask for help from Sima Yi who was stationed in Tianshui County. Stop Ma Su and defend Wuwei.

But three days later, neither Sima Yi nor You Fang replied.

Even though he knew that the journey from Wuwei to Tianshui was quite long, and it would take five days for Kuaima to make the round trip, Xu Miao was still very anxious.

Early this morning, his eyelids twitched extremely violently, and he inexplicably came up with an absurd idea: Ma Di has already broken through Jincheng, and the army will soon reach Wuwei.

How can this be? !
Xu Miao shook his head anxiously, throwing out this unreliable idea.

As we all know, cavalry are not good at attacking cities.

Therefore, even if Ma Di had [-] to [-] cavalry and wanted to break through Jincheng, it would definitely not be possible overnight.

Xu Miao estimated that it would take at least half a month for the Shu army to break through Jincheng, and then it would take another two days to reach Wuwei.He must have arranged all the countermeasures by then.

By then, Ma Su will surely fall into the quagmire of siege warfare.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a guard running in in a panic, with messy steps and a frightened expression.As soon as he entered the study, he yelled: "Big... something is wrong!"

Xu Miao frowned: "Why are you so panicked?"

"City, Jincheng is broken!"

With an "ah", Xu Miao stood up to help the case, his expression lost control for a moment, then quickly calmed down, looking at the soldiers with unfriendly eyes, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"The fall of Jincheng was already expected by the old man, why panic!"

The soldiers stammered and said: "Shu... the Shu army has reached thirty miles to the west of Wuwei City!"

Come so fast!

Xu Miao gasped, took half a step back and fell back to his seat. The expression on his face began to change rapidly, switching back and forth between fear, surprise, and anger.After a while, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he reluctantly said: "Give me an order to close the city gate immediately and prepare to meet the enemy!"

The soldiers ran out quickly.

The news that the Shu army was about to approach the city spread like wildfire, and soon everyone knew about it.

After hearing the news, the battalion headquarters will follow Guo Huai, and a large group of people hurried to the city to watch the military situation.

However, the sky was full of dust and dust in the western sky, quickly spreading towards Wuwei City, and at the same time, the thunderous sound of horseshoes gradually became clear and audible from far to near.

"Defeated, our army is about to lose." Xu Miao sighed, his tone extremely pessimistic.
