Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

With Xiakou's strength, it's not surprising that Cao Cao can take it in a short time.

With Xiakou's position blocked, it will be difficult for the coalition forces to return to Jiangdong, let alone return to aid.

Cheng Yu nodded, but he was still thinking: "I still feel a little strange, why the coalition forces keep chasing us!"

Suddenly there was the sound of fighting in front of the army.

Cao Hong rode back and said, "The coalition forces have set up an ambush in front, and there are more than 1 people."

He couldn't figure out where the coalition forces came from. These 1 people now have enemies in front and behind them. It can be said that they are suffering from the enemy.

However, Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at each other and were overjoyed.

"Haha, God help the prime minister!"

Cao Hong didn't understand why, so he asked, "Why are you two gentlemen so happy?"

Xun You replied: "These 1 people are definitely not created out of thin air. This place is near the river, which proves that they came from the waterway."

"If you come from Echeng or Jiangdong, the distance is too far, it is definitely impossible."

"So this army can only come from Xiakou!"

And now Cao Cao is attacking Xiakou, and these more than 1 people came from Xiakou, which means that Xiakou is an empty city at this time!

Happy to be happy, now they are actually encountering difficulties.

In the case of being attacked from both sides, it will be a fierce battle to meet them.

"It's no wonder they kept chasing him. I knew there was something wrong."

Cheng Yu thought about it and continued: "Now the morale of the coalition forces has greatly increased. We have lost a lot of morale by retreating all the way. Now the only way for us to get out of trouble is to attack one side by force."

This is Zhuge Liang's strategy to defeat him.

Now is the time for him to treat his own body in his own way!

……

Chapter 71 Wuchang Mazhong

After Kuai Yue captured Xianning, he went straight to Wuchang as Zhu Zhi said.

The only regret this time is that he didn't find Zhu Zhi, and he didn't see anyone alive or dead.

All he knew was that Wenpin had shot the old general with an arrow, and if he hadn't received timely medical treatment, he probably wouldn't have known where he died.

But Kuai Yue believed that such generals were lucky and would not die so easily.

Even so, he had to go north.

"Prime Minister only has Shi Yang all the way, and Shi Yang is only the size of a palm."

"The Prime Minister leads the army and can easily take it. We are already one step behind the Prime Minister, so naturally we cannot delay."

To cross Xiakou in the south, Wuchang must be captured.

Like Xianning, Wuchang is a small county town.

They rushed to fight to win Wuchang, so that they could attack Xiakou together with Cao Cao.

The scouts have already been sent out, and it will take half a day to deliver the information.

Lu Jie was riding a horse, his buttocks felt a little sore from being worn out, so he moved.

He said with an unnatural expression, "It is Ma Zhong who is guarding Wuchang. Does Mr. Kuai know how to take him down?"

Kuai Yue didn't know Ma Zhong, so he asked, "Who is this Ma Zhong?"

Lu Jie replied: "Although Pan Zhang's subordinates in Jiangdong are not famous generals, they are not unknown people either. Their archery skill is quite superb."

Kuai Yue nodded, but didn't say anything.

It's just a lieutenant general of a Jiangdong famous man, and he can't arouse his interest.

"As long as we find out how many troops there are in Wuchang, let's launch a strong attack!" Wen Pin said: "Even Zhu Zhi only has 4000 people in his hands, so how many troops can Ma Zhong have?"

He said this to look down on Jiangdong.

There are very few troops in Jiangdong, and now most of them are gathered at the front line and Hefei. Even if Sun Quan can send out another [-] troops, it will be very difficult.

Kuai Liang agreed: "Quick battle and quick decision to avoid long nights and dreams."

After half a day.

The spies came back and reported: "Generals, there are only 2000 defenders in Wuchang City!"

two thousand?

The four people's eyes lit up, and this was even less than they had imagined.

"God help me, let's attack directly, 2000 people can't even stand on the city wall!" Kuai Yue was delighted.

Now it was mid-day, and the soldiers rested for half an hour after being exhausted.

Kuai Yue ordered: "Wuchang must be captured before dark!"

If it is after dark, it will be delayed for half a day.

"no problem!"

Wenpin likes this kind of siege battle the most, and can kill happily.

……

At this time Wuchang.

Although there are not as many soldiers here as in Xianning, there are many spies thrown out.

After all, this is Wuchang, the city that guards Xiakou.

If you miss here, Xiakou is very close at hand.

"Is there someone to check the news about the number of guard soldiers?"

Drink fine wine and eat meat.

One person was lying on the slump, his face was full of flesh, his body was puffy, and he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, so he looked exaggerated.

This man stood more than eight feet tall and weighed more than 250 catties.

Don't look at his current "little Dong Zhuo" appearance.

Ma Zhong is still not well-known.

Just over ten years later, Lu Meng attacked Guan Yu, and Ma Zhong captured Guan Yu and his son Guan Ping in Zhangxiang.

When Liu Bei attacked Wu, Ma Zhong followed Pan Zhang to resist, and shot and wounded Shu general Huang Zhong in a surprise attack, resulting in Huang Zhong's death in battle.

It can also be said that the two five tiger generals of Shu died at the hands of this man.

After that, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, the two "heroes" who defected to Wu and lost Jingzhou, killed Ma Zhong while Ma Zhong was sleeping.

Otherwise, this person must be on the stage of history in the later Three Kingdoms period.

Ma Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "It seems that they are Cao Cao's spies. They inquired about Wuchang. Could it be that they want to attack Xiakou?"

Then he shook his head and said, "That's not right. If it were Cao Cao, he should attack Xiakou directly from the north instead of coming from the south!"

This made him think for a while, but he is not a fairy like Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, so he naturally did not expect that Cao Cao would divide his troops into two groups.

But no matter what, this has already made him vigilant.

"Let the scouts go out and check to see if there is an army within fifty miles."

After speaking, he returned to his lazy look.

But less than half an hour later, someone came to report: "General Ma, a large number of unknown troops were found at the South Gate, the number is more than 3."

Ma Zhong stood up from the slump. He stared and said, "What did you say? 3 people?"

"Did you know that false information about the army will be beheaded."

Before the scout could answer, he said seriously: "Immediately have someone guard the south gate, and they must not be allowed to take the city gate away."

"Send people to Xiakou to ask for rescue. We can only last a day at most, or even less."

"Hurry up!"

Wuchang was too close to Xiakou, Ma Zhong watched the scouts recede, and then muttered to himself: "I hope there is still time!"

He immediately put on his armor and ordered the coachman to take him to the direction of the south gate.

After climbing up the city wall, he saw the black soldiers and horses approaching slowly, and he secretly thought that it was true.

"Cao Jun is coming, get ready for the battle!" The lieutenant next to him looked nervous, holding the hilt of his sword tightly with one hand.

He patted the other person on the shoulder and comforted him: "There's no need to be nervous, the man will die in battle."

"As long as we hold on until the Xiakou army comes, then we can stop these Cao troops."

The man really relaxed a lot, he turned his head and said gratefully: "Yes, General!"

Ma Zhong ordered the shooters to prepare. He arranged for a thousand shooters. As long as Cao Jun came within range, he would leave an indelible memory for Cao Jun.

"Grandma, just rushing over like this, do you really think I, Ma Zhong, are easy to bully?"

At this time, Cao Jun was within five hundred steps, and Kuai Yue ordered to attack the city!

It's not like rushing forward in a single brain, and soon the army is in a fan shape.

"Disperse!"

Scattering is not a random dispersal, but to keep the soldiers in the army farther apart. This is a conventional tactic for facing archers.

Not everyone on the battlefield has a shield, so dealing with archers is like a lottery.

Congratulations, you won the lottery!

The reward is to report to Lord Yan.

Those who don't win the lottery will fight at close range.

That's about it.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Jun had come within [-] paces, throwing shots on the city wall, and this distance was already within range.

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows!" Ma Zhong shouted standing on the city wall.

Thousands of arrows were shot.

It rained.

However, when it hit the [-] Qingzhou army, it couldn't make a single wave.

Ma Zhong's face was a little melancholy, he didn't know if he could hold on for half a day.

In his own hand he holds a five-foot-long bow that weighs seven stones.

The weight here is the weight of the string. It takes about 400 catties of seven stones to pull this bow, which is terrifying!

The general bows in the army are between seven buckets and one stone, and the better ones are five-pointed.

Ma Zhong took the bow and shot the arrow, and the arrow was aimed at five hundred paces away.

"Whoosh~"

Before aiming for a long time, Ma Zhong shot an arrow. The arrow was surprisingly fast and went straight to the target without a parabola.

Behind Cao Jun.

"careful!"

Wen Pin blocked the arrow with a single blow, the strength of the arrow was incomparably great even if it spanned such a long distance.

This arrow was aimed at Kuai Yue, who was clearly the leader.

At this time Kuai Yue was already in a cold sweat, he was a full [-] steps away from the city wall!

Wenpin laughed loudly at this moment and said, "What a good Ma Zhong, he left it to me."

After all, he rode his horse and rushed towards the city gate!
