Chapter 102 Treating Ma Jun

Hulao Pass is the gateway and important pass to the east of Luoyang. It is named after King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is connected to Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north. It has a natural danger. It has the momentum of "one man should be a pass, and ten thousand men cannot open", and has been a must-fight for military strategists throughout the ages.

It was dim and the majestic city of Hulao Pass was bathed in the faint morning light. From a distance, clouds and mist were shrouded in mountains and mountains, and the scenery was picturesque.

A general stood on the city tower, and the morning breeze made the flags behind him roar. Looking closely, the man was nine feet tall, with a tiger body, a wolf waist, and a leopard head and ape arms. He was the Western Liang general Hua Xiong.

Behind Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji was wearing casual clothes and wrapped several wounds tightly with a cloth belt, and was limping. In the early morning of spring, the wind was filled with sweet smell. Although Zhang Ji was full of sorrow, he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths of fresh and sweet air.

Hua Xiong turned around and saw Zhang Ji's appearance, he couldn't help frowning and said coldly: "General Zhang, the city is cold, you have not recovered from serious injuries, so you should go back and rest."

After saying that, Hua Xiong ignored Zhang Ji, flapped his armor and went down the city tower alone. A wry smile appeared on Zhang Ji's face. The defeated general was not brave enough. Who said he was defeated two games in a row? In the eyes of the soldiers of Liangzhou, the one who admired the most was the brave man who fought. The general who lost two games like him and escaped two places naturally could not receive any respect.

Zhang Ji turned around and was about to go down the city when he suddenly heard a faint and messy sound. He hurriedly held the battlements of the city wall with his hands and listened carefully. Sure enough, some noises came, and these noises gradually began to grow. Zhang Ji finally heard it, which was the sound of footsteps and the sound of weapons hitting the armor.

"Enemy attack~~Enemy attack~~" While Zhang Ji shouted, the soldiers guarding Hulao Pass were also shouting loudly, and then the messengers blew the horn, "Woo~~Woo~" The low horn sounded everywhere in Hulao Pass, and the soldiers rushed out of the barracks with their weapons, climbed up to the city wall to start defending.

Hua Xiong had just walked down the city wall. After hearing the sound of the horn, he quickly turned around. The tiger jumped a few steps and went up the city tower. The leopard's eyes widened and shouted at Zhang Ji: "Where is the enemy? Don't lie about military information!"

Zhang Ji was glared by Hua Xiong's fierce look and was suddenly a little panicked. He pointed at the mountain in front of the pass and said, "Just right in front, you~ look carefully."

When Hua Xiong heard this, he looked closely and saw that in the thin light fog, there were faint figures shaking. Gradually, the outlines of the figures began to become clearer, and more figures appeared behind him.

Hua Xiong slapped the battlements of the city wall with his right hand and shouted: "Grandma, do you want to come and attack? Don't look at which grandpa is in the Huzhu?" After that, Hua Xiong turned his head and said to the personal soldiers behind him: "I ordered all troops to guard against each other and not take a step back! If anyone is timid and afraid of death, I will break his head first!"

Just as Hua Xiong arranged the defense of the defenders at the city, the sneak attackers had already rushed out of the mountains in front of the pass and entered the vision of the defenders. Once they stepped onto the official road, they began to accelerate, without cheering, and rushed straight to the city wall in silence.

Outside Xingyang City, Zhou Yu’s camp.

Zhou Yu led his personal troops to patrol the camp and check the rest of the troops. When he reached the camp, Zhou Yu saw Deng Yu coming back from a tent, holding a copper basin in his hand, and there was a steaming heat in the basin.

"Little Fish...Miss Deng, are you treating the wounded?" Zhou Yu asked knowingly.

Xiao Yuer glanced at Zhou Yu quietly and replied, "Yes, this person is seriously injured. Hou Jing is inside to heal him."

"Oh...that should be no problem." Zhou Yu asked.

"Five arrows came out of him, but fortunately there was no fatal wound. After applying the golden sore medicine, you should be cured if you have more rest."

"When I go in and take a look." Zhou Yu said, lifting the curtain and entering the tent. He saw a young man in a coma lying in the tent. He was about twenty years old. Hou Jing was concentrating on applying ointment on his wound. Yang Ci and Lu Qian squatted aside to help.

Seeing Zhou Yu come in, Yang Ci and Lu Qian smiled at him. Zhou Yu immediately felt as comfortable as the spring breeze swelled up. He suddenly felt like a thorn behind him. Without thinking, he knew that it must be the sour and hateful gaze of Xiaoyuer.

Zhou Yu asked softly: "This person's injury should be fine, right?"

When Hou Jing saw that it was Zhou Yu, he hurriedly replied: "There is no fatal injury, just take care of it for a while."

Zhou Yu asked again: "Is it a brother from the camp?"

Yang Ci answered first: "Yes, but he is a new recruit. When our army was in Zhongmu, he came to join the army. General Gao Shun saw that he was in a thin body and was unwilling to accept it, but he insisted on joining the army. There was a certain amount of vacancy, so he let him in."

"Oh, it seems that our army is very attractive." Zhou Yu said self-deprecatingly.

"That must be true," Yang Ci smiled sweetly, and another spring breeze blew towards Zhou Yu. Yang Ci continued: "His name is Ma Jun, he is from Fufeng. When he was young, his family was poor and he had a stuttering problem. Many people looked down on him. He left his hometown and wandered around the world in anger. That day, he happened to settle in Zhongmu. Seeing the notice of our army replenishing troops, he had a good salary, so he wanted to prove his ability and joined the army."

"Haha, it seems that you are very familiar with him," Zhou Yu teased. Suddenly he thought of something and asked anxiously: "Did you just say that his name is Ma Jun? Fufengren?"

Yang Ci opened his phoenix eyes wide and replied in confusion: "Yes, his name is Ma Jun, his hometown is Fufeng."

"Haha, it's great!" Zhou Yu's face was clear and he reminded: "From today on Miss Yang Ci, your duty is to take care of Ma Jun, take good care of him and strive to recover as soon as possible. In addition, Medical Officer Hou, please give him the best medicine."

Although she had some questions in her heart, Yang Ci still agreed sweetly: "Okay!"

After leaving the tent, Pan Hu asked softly: "Lord, this person is just a soldier, or a new recruit. Is it worth it to pay so much attention to him?"

Zhou Yu said seriously: "Never give up, never give up. This is the spirit of our army. He is a loyal and brave soldier of our army. He was injured for the sake of the big guy, so he should naturally be treated well."

Zhou Yu had another voice in his heart saying, "Oh, how could you know that Ma Jun is the greatest inventor in the history of the Three Kingdoms. He is not good at speaking but is skilled in clever thinking. He developed a guide truck, a water truck, and transformed a weaving machine and a catapult. With him, he can surpass 10,000 soldiers!"

Hanoi County, Wen County, East Gate.

The sound of killing under the city was shocking the sky. Xu Rong commanded the soldiers of Xiliang to attack the city quickly. Looking at the top of the city, countless soldiers of Xiliang were like ants. In front were long shield hands, infantrymen carrying cloud ladders, and behind were archers carrying long bows, attacking towards the east gate.

Yan Liang's tall body stood solemnly on the city tower. He held a long sword in his hand and his whole body was neatly slapped. Beneath his thick eyebrows was a pair of eyes as big as a copper bell. He stared at the Xiliang soldiers who were sieging the city. Sima, the central army beside him, shouted loudly: "Archester~ Get ready~"

A thousand archers lined up in a row, standing in five rows, placing their bows and arrows, pointing at the sky.

"Prepare~Release~" Sima of the Central Army ordered.

"Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh"

"Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh"

More than a thousand feathered arrows flew into the air, intertwined into a rain of arrows, pouring down from the air.

"Duo~Duo~Duo~" Most of the feathered arrows landed on the long shield of the long shield hand.

"Puff~Puff~Puff~" Some arrows shot into the Xiliang soldiers through the gaps of the long shield. With the screams from the Xiliang soldiers, the attacking formation was stagnant.

"Prepare~Shoot the arrow!" After three rounds of arrow attacks, the Sima of the Central Army saw that the Xiliang soldiers had already attacked the city and the bow and arrow attack was no longer threatened, so he changed his order and said, "Round shield hand, spearman comes forward!"

With his orders, a thousand round shield hands and a thousand spearmen rushed to the edge of the battlements of the city wall and smashed the crock pot filled with tinsel oil down.

"Puff~Puff~" The clay pot hit the long shield and shattered, tinder oil splashed everywhere.

"Star the rocket!" The order of the Central Army Sima exuded a strong murderous aura.

"Swoosh~Swoosh~Swoosh" Rockets fell from the sky and ignited the tinder. Suddenly, a sea of ​​fire became under the Dongmen City of Wen County. The fire ignited the long shield, the ladder, and the clothes of the soldiers of Xiliang. Countless soldiers were wailing and rolling on the ground, or running around on the ground, and finally couldn't run anymore and were burned to ashes by the fire.

Seeing that the elite Xiliang soldiers were frustrated in the attack, Xu Rong hurriedly ordered: "Mingjin to withdraw the troops!"

Seeing the soldiers running back from the city in a panic, Xu Rong shook his head slightly. These are men who grew up on horseback. They are powerful as cavalrymen, but once they get off the horse, they will be sick tigers that everyone can fight. It seems that they cannot avoid their own strengths and make their own weaknesses. Siege is the shortcoming of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and the field battle is their strengths.

Xu Rong immediately ordered to encircle three and one, and the entire army firmly surrounded the east gate, west gate and north gate of Wen County, leaving only the south gate without arranging troops. As long as Yan Liang's troops wanted to abandon the city and flee from the south gate, and use cavalry to fight against infantry, then their death date was coming.

Next, it depends on whether there is too much food and grass in Wen County and how long it can last...

At the head of Wen County, Yan Liang watched the retreat and mobilization of the Liangzhou army coldly.

A scout came to report: "General Bing, the enemy troops mobilized and adjusted, besieged the east gate, the west gate and the north gate of Wen County, leaving the south gate without the enemy."
