Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

After listening to the soldiers and officers recovered from Ye County, they all said that the enemy's bed crossbow was strange. Kunyang's guard was also a little doubtful and confirmed again and again,

"Don't lie. If you are found out, I, Wen Qin, will not spare you!"

"It's absolutely true!" Several soldiers nodded and replied affirmatively.

"It's strange, how can those Shu people who have been living in the mountains all year round be so good at fighting?" Wen Qin scratched his head, still feeling a little unbelievable.

In theory, Wen Qin was not the guard general of Kunyang. He was responsible for the security of Yingchuan. However, the Han army's surprise attack was too sudden. Wen Qin happened to be near Kunyang, so he took over the task of defending Kunyang.

Now that the news of the invasion of the Shu army has spread, it won't be long before the imperial army arrives. Wen Qin received news that the Central Army in Luoyang had begun to gather.

As long as he holds Kunyang for ten days and prevents the Shu army from occupying this forward position, half of the battle is basically won.

Kunyang is the gateway to Nanyang and a key stop for the main force of the Wei army coming south along the waterway. If this place is still in the hands of the Wei army, the grain going south and north can be smoothly stored here, and can be steadily supplied to the main force of the Wei army to attack Ye County.

Ye County is a small city, and the city gate cannot even hold a bed crossbow. It is difficult to stop the main force of the Wei army. If Ye County cannot stop it, then the Wei army can march straight in, quickly enter the Nanyang Basin, and defeat the Han army with superior strength on the plain.

Therefore, Kunyang is a battleground for both sides.

Wen Qin entered Kunyang in advance and led some Yingchuan garrison to station in Kunyang, but even so he was still uneasy.

Not only was the Han army powerful and the bed crossbows bizarre, but the most important issue was morale. Two hundred years ago, this was the highlight of Emperor Guangwu's life. Even the slightly superstitious soldiers will murmur in their hearts. This has a very obvious impact on morale.

"Reporting to the school governor, the Shu army did not stop at all after taking Ye County. The army rushed towards Kunyang along the road!" The scout stepped forward at this time and reported the movements of the Shu army to Wen Qin.

"Nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses came in a mighty force. The leading commander's flag read the words "Han Zhengbei General's Horse"."

"So it was Ma Di who came in person?" Wen Qin's expression suddenly changed, and he felt that the pressure was rising all of a sudden.

In recent years, the Shu army has become famous and won successive battles with the Wei army, among which Ma Su played a major role. Basically, every battle in which the Shu army achieved outstanding results has Ma Di's name and is the first to achieve success.

Wen Qin held military positions in the Central Plains in recent years, and Ma Di's reputation became even more popular. As soon as he heard this name, Wen Qin knew that the intensity of the upcoming battle would not be as high as usual.

Fortunately, when Wen Qin was serving in Yingchuan, he made a friend who was demoted to reflect after losing the battle. It is said that he fought against Ma Su, and he even taught Wen Qin a few tricks to defend against Ma Su.

"Pass my order! Close the door tightly and hold on tight!" Wen Qin made a quick decision and issued a series of orders with a wave of his hand.

"Put away all my handsome flags. All the flags hanging outside cannot have any other words except Wei. If the Shu army comes to provoke, they will all be silent. Anyone who dares to reveal the name of our generals will be killed!"

"Ma Su is good at slander. He likes to criticize others just like a man in the market. No matter what, I can't let him know what my name is!"

Kunyang's garrison numbered 5,000 people and was quickly mobilized under Wen Qin's order. The gates were closed, antlers were standing on all sides, and archers and crossbowmen were all mounted on the top of the city. All the flags hanging outside were removed and replaced, leaving only the military flag of Wei Dynasty.

When Ma Di led the Han army to the foot of Kunyang City, he didn't even see a Wei army flag.

"Eh? What is Wei Jun doing? Why did he hide all the flags?" Ma Su looked at it several times, but he didn't see a flag that could prove the identity of the opponent. This made Ma Su very dissatisfied, and he lost another fun before the war.

Later, Ma Su planned to give a pre-war speech to persuade him to surrender as usual. But before Ma Di could speak, Wei Jun on top of the city spoke first.

"Listen, thieves of Western Shu, we will not surrender to a small country like yours. If you want to fight, then fight. If not, get out!"

"Huh? Why are these Wei Jun guys still trying to grab the words?" Ma Di was choked up and suddenly became a little angry.

No one has ever dared to steal my words from Ma Su! there has never been!

"Get ready to attack the city! I will personally find out the guard on the opposite side and give him two big ear braces, so that he can steal my words!"

"only!"

The Han army quickly changed their formations and began to attack the city with siege equipment.

This time, the Han army took the lead in rolling out the chariot and at the same time set up arrow towers to attack Kunyang.

Hiding in the dark, Wen Qin, disguised as a soldier, quietly observed every move of the Han army. Seeing that the Han army's actions so far are still normal, I can't help but feel relieved.

There is a high probability that the so-called bed crossbow with super powerful impact was compiled by the defenders of Ye County, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to use such a powerful weapon to attack the city and destroy the city gate?

Wen Qin was already ready at this time and blocked the city gates with sandbags. He dared to say that even if the Han army used that powerful crossbow to destroy the city gate, they would never be able to break through Kunyang City.

While thinking, the Han army had already begun to attack, pushing carts and ladders towards the city gate.

But just when Wen Qin felt that the next step was to follow the normal operations and the two sides began to mince meat on the city wall, he suddenly saw another change in the Han army's formation.

Several Eight Oxen Crossbows were pushed out by the Han army again, but this time these bed crossbows were no longer aimed at the city gates, but at the city walls!

"City wall? Are they going to be able to break through the city wall with that thing?" Wen Qin narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt an ominous premonition welling up in his heart.

"Fire the arrow!!"

Following the order from the Han army officer, the crossbows fired at the city wall at the same time. However, what was shot this time was not a crossbow arrow with extremely strong penetrating power, but a slug arrow with a long arrow like a javelin!

Several stilt arrows flew out in unison and were nailed directly to the city wall! And the location is not random, but it is raised once to form a wooden ladder for climbing!

"Holy shit! What kind of attack is this?" Wen Qin was shocked, and then he saw the Han army loading the crossbow again and continuing to fire crossbow arrows towards the city.

At the same time, a large number of Han troops had launched an attack like a tide. Many soldiers quickly followed up and launched an attack towards the city head with stumps and arrows.

This is much safer than the flying wooden ladder. The Wei army on the top of the city can't destroy these stepping arrows at all. The Han soldiers climbed towards the top of the city desperately from all directions.

"This... what kind of strategy is this?" Wen Qin looked at the countless Han army ants attacking the city in disbelief, his eyes almost falling out of shock.

"Isn't it a bit too rogue to attack the city like this?"
